Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“My dad? Hehe , I don’t know what he said to my dad. My dad’s att.i.tude towards him had become better…” Sun Jie said with some helplessness, “I wanted to ask you what advantages Yang Ming had. It seems you aren’t clear about it.”
“Really?” Xiao Qing was really surprised about this. Yang Ming actually even settled Sun Jie’s dad? This is a bit too weird.
Yang Ming was the topic the two talked the most about. No one wanted to mention their past. After all, it was also quite awkward.
Although Sun Jie said that the two of them should spend crazily and ask Yang Ming to pay the bill, in the end, Sun Jie settled the bill. Sun Jie was only bullsh*tting. She wouldn’t do anything irrational.
Moreover, Sun Jie hadn’t yet decided whether or not to be with Yang Ming. In general, she had a good impression of him, but on the other hand, Yang Ming’s age was too much different from hers. One important thing, on the other hand, was that Yang Ming already had a girlfriend. Worse still, there was more than one!
Sun Jie naturally didn’t want to think much about something that gave her a headache. Everything went with the flow. It would naturally be solved in the end.
“Hey? Isn’t this Yang Ming’s car?” Sun Jie saw Yang Ming’s BMW X5. She recognized the car number plate as well. Hence, she asked as she pointed at the moving BMW in front of her.
“Really?” Xiao Qing couldn’t remember that much.
“I’m going to pa.s.s them and take a look!” said Sun Jie, as she stepped on the accelerator. The car dashed quickly in front. Although there were many vehicles on this road, Sun Jie’s driving skills were excellent. Soon they were side by side with the BMW in front just now.
“It’s really Yang Ming!” Sun Jie glanced at Xiao Qing and asked, “The girl next to him is his girlfriend?”
“Likely… not?” Xiao Qing knew Chen Mengyan and Lan Ling, but she didn’t know Lin Zhiyun. So, she was in doubt when she saw the girl in the car.
“Please don’t tell me that Yang Ming found another girlfriend again?” Sun Jie saw Xiao Qing’s expression, she asked doubtfully.
“Maybe not?” Xiao Qing didn’t care much about this.
Sun Jie was a bit annoyed. She thought – It is fine if you accompany your girlfriend during Valentine’s Day, but now you are with another? Yet, you send me flowers every day, but I don’t even get a phone call for Valentines Day!
Sun Jie followed Yang Ming’s car patiently. Xiao Qing was quite helpless. She tried to persuade her several times, but Sun Jie didn’t listen. The two became paparazzi.
How alert was Yang Ming? There was no way Yang Ming wasn’t aware that there was a car tracking behind him. Since Sun Jie wasn’t driving her car today, Yang Ming looked at the model of the car behind. He didn’t think of Sun Jie. He thought that it was another enemy who was waiting for an opportunity to retaliate against him. It was no wonder. Bi Hai had just said that Wu Xinkai’s uncle wanted to retaliate against him.
However, Yang Ming used his special ability to look at the people in the car. He couldn’t help but smile bitterly. They were actually Xiao Qing and Sun Jie! Although Yang Ming didn’t know how the two of them got together on Valentine’s Day, he was certain that the two must have discovered him. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be following him.
Looking at Lin Zhiyun next to him, Yang Ming hesitated to tell her about Xiao Qing and Sun Jie. According to Lin Zhiyun’s temper, even after knowing this, there would be no other thoughts and no irrational actions would be made.
The key question was – Could Lin Zhiyun keep it a secret? After Lin Zhiyun knew, would she tell Chen Mengyan? The relations.h.i.+p between the two wasn’t bad. If Lin Zhiyun’s tongue slipped, Yang Ming couldn’t guarantee that Chen Mengyan would accept it openly!
The current situation was almost at the limit that Chen Mengyan could bear. If two more people were added, would Chen Mengyan be mad? Yang Ming didn’t dare to try it.
“There are two friends behind us. I will go out later. You wait for me in the car.” In order not to cause a war in his family, Yang Ming could only say this to Lin Zhiyun.
” En , alright, go ahead.” Lin Zhiyun didn’t ask much. She was well-behaved. Yang Ming liked her personality where she didn’t fight for anything.
Yang Ming turned around a corner and came to a slightly smaller street. He parked the car on the roadside.
Yang Ming quickly opened the door and got out. Then, he walked to the back. Sun Jie saw Yang Ming stop the car and approach her, so she stopped the car as well.
“He found us.” Xiao Qing sighed and said. After all, they were still noticed by Yang Ming. Xiao Qing suddenly felt embarra.s.sed. She used to say that she wouldn’t be bothered, and she wouldn’t go out with Yang Ming on Valentine’s Day.
Now, it was like they deliberately came to bother Yang Ming. She wondered what Yang Ming would think.
“What do we need to be afraid of?” Sun Jie smiled as she opened the door and got out.
“What’s the matter? I didn’t go on a date with you on Valentine’s Day. Are you angry?” Yang Ming looked at Sun Jie teasingly who looked at him with a big smile.
“Why do I need to be angry? Do you think I’m such a stingy person?” Sun Jie smiled and said as she pointed at Xiao Qing in the car, “We are also out on Valentine’s Day, but I happened to meet you on the road.”
“You two… Did you both rekindle the old feelings?” Yang Ming was a little surprised about them getting together.
“What rekindle the old feelings? The two of us have never broken up.” Sun Jie said as though it was logical, “If you didn’t come in and disturbed us, we were better off with just two of us.”
“Is it? I think it is better to have three of us together.” Yang Ming said with a smile. “Are you two checking in a hotel after a while? If so, tell me the location. I will come back to look for you both later.”
“Okay!” As Sun Jie heard it, she had a wild idea. She quickly kissed Yang Ming’s face, then whispered in his ear, “Then we are waiting for you…”
After that, Sun Jie turned around and started the car. She no longer cared about Yang Ming. She put the car in reverse gear and directly backed up. Then, she turned back and left.
Xiao Qing always kept her head down. She was afraid that Yang Ming would say something sarcastic, but Yang Ming knew that Xiao Qing must have been pulled by Sun Jie to follow him. So, he didn’t think about anything else.
Yang Ming touched the area on his face where Sun Jie had kissed him. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. After all of this, he was still tricked by Sun Jie! Yang Ming knew that although Sun Jie sometimes spoke boldly, she would never take the initiative to tease him. The reason why she did this was that she wanted Lin Zhiyun in the car to witness it.
This was great. Yang Ming thought he was clever enough to hide it, but it was revealed after all. Yang Ming slowly walked to his car and thought about how to explain it to Lin Zhiyun. The best result was if Lin Zhiyun didn’t see it.
When Yang Ming got in the car, Yang Ming smiled awkwardly at Lin Zhiyun and said, “Let’s continue…”
“Is she also yours…?” Lin Zhiyun hesitated and finally asked.
Yang Ming was shocked. Lin Zhiyun did really see it. In fact, it was normal. After Yang Ming got off, Lin Zhiyun’s attention would naturally follow Yang Ming. It was nothing to be surprised that she saw the scene.
“You can say that…” Since it was seen by Lin Zhiyun, Yang Ming thought that it was helpless to hide it. It was better to admit it forthrightly.
“Then… you should go and accompany her…” Lin Zhiyun said calmly, “Can you take me home first?”
“Zhiyun, are you angry?” Yang Ming heard Lin Zhiyun and asked quickly.
“No, why would I be angry? I’m really happy today. You accompanied me back to my grandmother’s house and helped Lin Yi solve the problem of his salary. How can I be angry?” Lin Zhiyun smiled slightly, “How can I be selfish? She also wants you to accompany her, right? Otherwise, she wouldn’t drive and follow us.”
Lin Zhiyun didn’t see Xiao Qing in the car behind, so she thought that it was only Sun Jie. ”I had this feeling before. Just like today, although I know that I shouldn’t fight with Sister Yan, being alone at home, my heart was still a little uncomfortable. I think this is her general feeling now, right?”
When Yang Ming heard Lin Zhiyun’s words, he blushed with shame. He touched his chin and said, “Do you really think so?”
Lin Zhiyun nodded and said after a while, “I won’t tell Sister Yan, but if you have the chance, you should still tell her about it…”
“Zhiyun, thank you…” Yang Ming listened to Lin Zhiyun’s promise and immediately felt relieved. As a matter of fact, Yang Ming wasn’t worried about Lin Zhiyun but Chen Mengyan.
“Thank me for what? I’m just putting myself in someone else’s shoes…” Lin Zhiyun shook her head. “Well, I have monopolized you for one night. I should be content.”
Yang Ming was grateful, but he didn’t say much. He headed to Lin Zhiyun’s house. However, on the way, he thought of a very important question. “Yes, Zhiyun, your parents aren’t at home. Then, if you go back, isn’t it meaningless? How about I accompany you?”
“No.” Lin Zhiyun said. “I will go to sleep when I get home. After the long journey, I’m a little tired. Also, I have that [1]. I can’t accompany you…”
Lin Zhiyun didn’t continue her words, but she knew Yang Ming understood her.
“Okay, but if you can’t sleep, call me at any time.” Yang Ming noticed Lin Zhiyun was determined so he wouldn’t persuade any further.
Lin Zhiyun was taken home. After Lin Zhiyun washed up, she laid on the bed and covered herself with a quilt. Then Yang Ming left. The disappointment in Lin Zhiyun’s heart dissipated with Yang Ming’s gentleness at the moment.
From Lin Zhiyun’s home, Yang Ming called Sun Jie’s phone. Sun Jie saw Yang Ming on the caller ID. She was baffled. Why did Yang Ming call me at this time?“h.e.l.lo? Yang Ming?”
Sun Jie was afraid that the scene had brought on a war between Yang Ming and his little girlfriend. This call must be from his little girlfriend.
“Dear, have you chosen a hotel? I’m looking for you now.” Yang Ming got right to the point and spoke.
“Hey!” Sun Jie was stunned. It was a joke. How could she really go to a hotel? She didn’t know how Yang Ming actually settled it with his little girlfriend.
