Chapter 229: Chapter 229 answer
Translator: Doggotranslation
I could clearly feel the cold sweat of Mo Fei’s palms. Her little face was red with shyness and timidity, like a peach blossom. There were still tear beads in the corner of her eyes, like the morning dew, making her look endlessly charming and moving.
She spoke softly and nervously, unable to say a coherent sentence. “I like you, so I want to lie to you, and I want you to care about me. I want to s.n.a.t.c.h you from Cheng Liusu! Chu Nan, I know you like Cheng Liusu, but I want to know, do you like me? ”
I had so many questions, but I didn’t know how to ask because Mo Fei’s look of expectation told me that she was waiting for my answer, not my questions.
A woman I had a crush on suddenly confessed to me. The feeling I had was complicated, the thoughts in my mind were chaotic, and my brain needed time to process.
Acceptance or rejection of this should have never been a question that I needed to think about. When Mo Fei said this, Liusu’s smile, care, and gentle voice were lingering in my mind. However, if I say that I wasn’t tempted by it, it would be too hypocritical. After all, I really liked and wanted this woman before.
Just as I had never had the experience of chasing a girl, I had never been chased by a girl. Not to mention the one sitting in front of me. She was Mo Fei, a pretty and talented girl favored by heaven. For a while, I was at a loss for what to say. I should reject her, however, I didn’t know how to lie.
“Nan Nan, are you home? Why don’t you even close the door, I’m coming in~!”
Some people said that if you were afraid of ghosts because you were hiding something in your heart. In terms of me, I was afraid of Liusu because I had Liusu in my heart. I believed Mo Fei was the same…
Was G.o.d making fun of me again?! Why did Liusu suddenly appear in my flat? !
In consternation, our reaction was a little slow, or maybe Liusu’s speed was too fast. It was as fast as a young wife rushing into the brothel to find her husband. She rushed directly into the living room without taking off her shoes. After seeing that Mo Fei was holding my hands, she, who was already panting, was stunned instantly.
“M… Ms. Mo?”
Liusu’s unbelievable expression finally woke up me and Mo Fei. Mo Fei hurriedly let go of my hands, her pretty face turned pale and red back and forth repeatedly. After she nodded to greet Liusu, she stood up, and smiled at me: “Chu Nan, the resignation letter you handed to Aunt Shan has been torn off by me. I hope you will stay in Fengchang, but…”
Mo Fei took a complicated look at the Liusu that suddenly appeared for some reason, and then said firmly to me: “If you insist on leaving, you can hand me a resignation letter personally, at that time, I will approve it. If that’s your answer to me… I think I need to leave now.”
After that, Mo Fei ran away without looking back. From beginning to end, she didn’t say a word to Liusu, or maybe it was because she didn’t know what to say to her after saying that she wanted to take her boyfriend away from her… . However, the result of her action was…
How was I able to explain it? !
“Why was she here?” As expected, Liusu really cared about Mo Fei’s appearance at my flat. Although she didn’t explode with anger directly, seeing how hard she slammed her bag on the sofa, she was obviously holding back her anger. “holding each other’s hands, how affectionate. What, are you reconciled with each other?”
She deliberately emphasized the word ‘affectionate’. Instantly the smell of jealousy filled the room. At the same time, I felt amused. The panic in my heart quickly faded, and it was replaced by warm happiness. “What do you mean by affectionate?”
“Then what were you two doing just now? Do you think I’m blind?” Liusu who had a straightforward personality finally couldn’t hold back her anger. She felt both angry and aggrieved. While pounding at my chest, she said angrily with a sobbing tone, “I saw it with my own eyes. Are you trying to lie to me? !”
“What did you see?” I grabbed Liusu’s hands, stopped her soft punches, and pressed her to sit on a chair. “She came to apologize to me. She was a little too emotional, so she just… It is not what you think.”
Thinking of Mo Fei’s confession, I couldn’t help showing a bitter face. Liusu glanced at me half-trustfully, “Really?”
“Really.”
“I saw her pitiful crying face, Nan Nan, are you still unwilling to forgive her?” Liusu was a girl who had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Even if she didn’t like Mo Fei staying close to me, she still couldn’t help but care for her and sympathize with her. She pouted her mouth and said as if blaming me for being cold-hearted.
As if I was teasing her, I gently held up her pointed chin with my fingers. I didn’t answer her question. Instead, I asked, “Baby, do you want me to forgive her?”
Although she often behaved like a boy, she still couldn’t get used to being teased by me. Her face flushed, but she did not resist me. Not daring to look at me in the eyes, she said faintly, “I… I don’t know. The person she lied to was you, not me. Whether you like to forgive her or not, it’s your own business.”
Not knowing how to conceal her true feelings, all her thoughts were written on her face. I sighed, not wanting to continue this topic, and then asked: “By the way, why did you come over suddenly?”
“What? You are not happy that I found out you were having an affair with Mo Fei?” This time, Liusu didn’t say it angrily. It meant that she was joking. However, what she said was exactly what I was worried about. It made me unable to respond to her immediately. Fortunately, there was someone helping me at this time.
“Elder Sister Cheng, when did you come?” Chu Yuan, who always liked to appear in the most inappropriate time when I was with Liusu alone, appeared at the most appropriate time this time to disrupt our conversation. Smiling sweetly, if she didn’t show it, who would know that she actually didn’t like Liusu.
Liusu was fooled by Chu Yuan’s question, and she was a little surprised and said, “Yuan Yuan, you are at home as well?” Seeing Liusu’s relieved expression, I knew that after she found out that Chu Yuan was also at home, she finally believed Mo Fei and I didn’t do anything shameful.
Chu Yuan jokingly said, “What’s wrong, Elder Sister Cheng? Did I ruin the aff… date between you two?”
She definitely wanted to say ‘affair’! Fortunately, Liusu only thought that Chu Yuan was deliberately teasing her by acting how she acted earlier. Her face flushed with embarra.s.sment. She held Chu Yuan’s hands and looked at my head wrapped in bandages, and smiled: “It’s not that. Elder Sister Xiaoye called me and said that your elder brother was injured. So I came here to check.”
So this was the reason. No wonder Liusu was so anxious just now. It turned out that Dong Xiaoye told her that I was injured and she was very worried about it.
I didn’t expect that the careless Sister Tiger would be able to think of this. She must be worried that Liusu would complain to her after seeing my injury, so she confessed first. As a simple-minded person, she was pretty smart.
Chu Yuan glared at me secretly, a cold glow flashed in her eyes, the meaning was very obvious. She had already a.s.sumed that I and Liusu were going out, and she was extremely angry!
“Elder Sister Dong is so considerate. She didn’t have time, so she asked Elder Sister Cheng to come over. Hehe, my elder brother is really popular amongst girls,” Chu Yuan pulled Dongfang over and said with a smile: “Dongfang is also worried about my elder brother. So she decided to stay at night to help me take care of him. Elder Sister Cheng, don’t worry, he won’t die.”
Chu Yuan overestimated Liusu’s intelligence. What she meant by her words seemed to imply that Dong Xiaoye and Dongfang both liked me, and she was someone who was asked by Dong Xiaoye to visit me. From her tone, it sounded like she didn’t want to accept Liusu’s relationship with me. It was as if for her, the possibility of me being with Dong Xiaoye or Dongfang at the end was much greater than with her. But Liusu, who was extremely obtuse, couldn’t understand the meaning of Chu Yuan’s words. She hugged Dongfang little brat and said, “Little Dongfang, thank you so much.”
The word ‘thank you’ was more than enough to show her close relationship with me. Moreover, it was so sincere that Dongfang Lianren could only awkwardly say you were welcome repeatedly. In terms of Chu Yuan. She was so angry that she kicked me secretly all of a sudden when Liusu was not watching.
Hearing that I suddenly let out a painful cry, Liusu let go of the Dongfang little brat she hugged tightly and asked strangely: “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. I got bitten by a naughty mosquito.”
When Chu Yuan heard that I was secretly making fun of her, she rolled her eyes fiercely. However, this look of her looked rather cute than scary. Then she changed the subject and said, “Huh? Where is Elder Sister Mo? Why is Elder Sister Cheng here, but she disappeared? By the way, elder brother, what did you two secretly talk about just now? The voice was so small that neither I nor Dongfang could hear it clearly. ”
The bratty girl definitely wanted to stir up the trouble and made Liusu angry. Liusu would not think much about any other women who appeared next to me, but Mo Fei was the exception, because she knew how much I was obsessed with Mo Fei before.
Hearing Chuyuan’s words, her face suddenly became cold, and she said with an enigmatic tone: “Yes, why did she leave when I came? Is she trying to hide from me deliberately? She just said that she wanted you to give her an answer. What kind of answer was it?”
“Answer… this is not convenient to tell you. After all, it is related to official business. This is probably also the reason why she wanted to avoid this…” I really didn’t want to discuss this topic in front of Chu Yuan and Liusu. Although I was calm, secretly, I was sweating very hard. Then I knocked Chu Yuan’s head and reprimanded her fiercely: “you bratty girl, you just wanted to eavesdrop, right? Otherwise, how would you know that we spoke quietly?”
Chu Yuan blushed, which meant that what I said was correct. But Dongfang Lianren was not scared. She chuckled and didn’t deny it.
“Besides, why do we need to speak loudly? There is no need to tell children about adults’ business.” Although I said this to the two little girls, Liusu who knew me well, immediately understood what I was talking about. She knew that I didn’t want to tell Chu Yuan that I had resigned from the company. Knowing that she shouldn’t have said that to lead to this conversation, a trace of apology flashed on her face. Seeing this made me feel even more ashamed of myself.
Chu Yuan was very dissatisfied with what I said: “I’m not a kid!”
“Alright, alright, you’re not a kid, you’re my little sister, okay?” I stroked Chu Yuan’s head like a child. The little girl clearly enjoyed it, but she felt embarra.s.sed to reveal that she was enjoying it. Seeing the childish look of her, not only me, even Liusu and Dongfang also burst out giggling. When Chu Yuan finally reacted, she blushed immediately and inevitably started to throw her soft punches at me.
The things about Mo Fei confessed to me. Should I tell Liusu about it?
Thinking of the reasons Liusu used to reject me when I confessed to her earlier, I decided not to tell her at the moment.
Liusu said that she must win Mo Fei in a fair manner, so why couldn’t I do it? I would just need to openly hand Mo Fei the resignation letter again and give her a straightforward answer. Only in this way could I be worthy of Liusu’s trust, right?
Looking at Liusu who was laughing, I couldn’t help but think to myself. Apart from me, probably no one else knew that although she looked careless, she had an extremely sensitive heart.
However, while I began to understand Liusu more and more, I didn’t understand myself more and more.
Did I really like Mo Fei? Or should I ask myself if I still liked Mo Fei now?
