Chapter 340 I Like You More

Yu Qinghuan lowered her eyes and looked at Zheng Qibai who was hugging her legs tightly, her eyes were wet, as if she had done something unforgivable to him. He looked pitiful now, like a puppy who couldn't eat meat, begging her to give him two pieces of meat.

She suddenly remembered the first time she met Zheng Qibai at the Zheng Mansion. She thought the young man was good-looking but shy. He blushed when he saw her, so she couldn't help but tease him.

Later, when he went to Zheng's house again, he couldn't help but make a few more jokes.

It can't be that those few words of mine caused people to make fun of me like this, right?

Thinking of this, Yu Qinghuan sighed, "Get up first, don't squat on the ground."

As she spoke, she reached out to help, but Zheng Qibai took the opportunity to rub his face against her hand: "Sister Yu, do you hate me?"

Yu Qinghuan frowned when he heard this. Is this annoying?

How is that possible? She always thought Zheng Qibai was a very likable person.

Zheng Qibai was happy when he didn't hear her answer. If Sister Yu didn't answer, it meant that she didn't dislike her. If she didn't dislike her, it meant that she might like her a little.

Just as he was about to say something more, Yu Qinghuan suddenly frowned and said to him, "Zheng Qibai, there are many rumors in the capital, you should have heard them all."

Zheng Qibai knew what she was referring to. It was nothing more than the two people from the Xie family, or her living in the Cheng Mansion, and the things between her and the current emperor.

"I don't believe that."

Yu Qinghuan: "But those are all true."

Seeing Zheng Qibai's stunned look, she slowly said, "You also came to my house yesterday. You should be able to see the relationship between me and that person in the palace. We each get what we need."

"If you really like me and want to do something like what we did yesterday, I have no problem with that, but if it involves getting married, forget it."

"I decided a long time ago that I would never get married again in this life."

Hearing Yu Qinghuan say that she would not get married again, Zheng Qibai was heartbroken, but at the same time, he admired Yu Qinghuan even more.

Sister Yu is really not an ordinary woman. She said all these things so frankly. Even as a man, I couldn't be so frank.

That's amazing.

He looked at Yu Qinghuan with more enthusiasm.

Yu Qinghuan said these words deliberately, originally wanting to dispel Zheng Qibai's thoughts about her, but what she didn't expect was that these deliberately harsh words made Zheng Qibai feel that she was opinionated and unrestrained, like the chivalrous women in the world described by storytellers, who acted as she pleased and did not care about trivial matters.

His eyes suddenly lit up and his face flushed, "Sister Yu, I seem to like you more. I seem to like you more."

Yu Qinghuan: “???”

She was stunned. Zheng Qibai's reaction was totally beyond her expectations. She thought that this young man would leave sadly after realizing that she was not what he thought she was, but what was happening now?

Zheng Qibai stood up and spoke softly, feeling nervous but also a bit expectant. "Sister Yu, what you meant by each taking what they need... is that what happened yesterday?"

Yu Qinghuan frowned, "Why are you asking this?"

Zheng Qibai blushed and whispered, "If that's the case, I can do it too."

Yu Qinghuan was speechless for a moment. She suddenly felt that Zheng Qibai seemed different from what she saw on the surface.

She began to recall how Zheng Qingrong had described her younger brother...

Zheng Qibai's heart beat faster. It didn't matter if they didn't get married. After all, he had never thought that he could marry Yu Qinghuan before.

As long as I can get close to them, I will be very satisfied.

So if what Sister Yu meant by "each taking what he needs" was referring to what happened yesterday, then he liked it very much, but he didn't know if Sister Yu felt the same way.

But he was afraid that if he mustered up the courage to speak a second time, he would be rejected.

Yu Qinghuan felt like he was shooting himself in the foot. If Zheng Qibai was really shy, he would never have said such words.

She even felt that she was not confused yesterday, but that this kid was coveting her and kept appearing in front of her every day under the pretext of having a meal.

What simple shyness? Maybe even walking into the wrong room yesterday was intentional on his part.

Thinking of this, Yu Qinghuan looked at Zheng Qibai with suspicion, "Zheng Qibai, tell me the truth, you went to the wrong house yesterday. Was it really one of my servants who led you the wrong way?"

Zheng Qibai was stunned for a moment, then nodded. He was a little sad when he realized Yu Qinghuan's suspicion of him. His eyes suddenly looked aggrieved, and his tone was innocent. "Sister Yu, are you doubting me?"

Although I walked into the wrong house yesterday and was reluctant to leave, I was unwilling to pretend to walk into the wrong house.

For a moment, Zheng Qibai even forgot that the question he asked Yu Qinghuan had not been answered yet, and he felt aggrieved as if he had been misunderstood.

It wasn't the first time he was misunderstood, but the person who misunderstood him was Yu Qinghuan, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Facing Zheng Qibai's innocent and aggrieved eyes, Yu Qinghuan felt guilty and thought: The Zheng family is upright, Zheng Qibai should not do such a thing.

She apologized immediately: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have doubted you. Sister Yu is here to apologize to you, please don't be angry."

Zheng Qibai hung his head in silence, his eyelashes casting a shadow under his eyes, looking extremely aggrieved.

He didn't know why Yu Qinghuan misunderstood him so much. After what happened yesterday, she didn't seem to be annoying...so it wasn't just his wishful thinking.

But today, I asked him to forget it, but I also doubted him.

Who can stand being treated like this by the person they love?

Seeing Zheng Qibai silent and with a sullen face, Yu Qinghuan suddenly felt that he had gone too far. How could he be so suspicious of others? If someone suspected him like that, he would probably be even angrier.

She reached out and tugged at Zheng Qibai's sleeve. "Don't be angry. It's my fault. Can I order two more dishes to make up for it?"

The food and drinks at Fuyanlou are not cheap, so I am sincere.

Zheng Qibai shook his head. He didn’t want to eat any of the dishes!

Yu Qinghuan was immediately stumped, feeling that Zheng Qibai was a little hard to appease, but it was his fault after all.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Then what do you want? I'll give it to you as an apology gift, okay?"

Hearing this, Zheng Qibai suddenly raised his eyes to look at her, and said cautiously: "Is anything okay?"

Yu Qinghuan hesitated for a moment, "...not really."

If this brat doesn't get more aggressive.

Zheng Qibai immediately lowered his face again, "Sister Yu, if you don't have this intention, why not just say it directly? Why bother trying to coax others into playing games?"

Yu Qinghuan's forehead twitched. It seemed as if she was just pretending. She immediately said in a deep voice, "Why don't I have this intention? Just tell me. As long as I can give, I will give it to you."

Zheng Qibai's lips curled up quietly: "Really?"

Yu Qinghuan: "Really?"

Zheng Qibai's fingertips, which were exposed from his sleeves, were trembling with excitement. He looked at Yu Qinghuan and took a bold step closer. "Then kiss me twice... kiss me twice, and I won't be angry anymore."
