Inside the room, Su Ping had just stretched her stiff shoulders when she heard another knock on the door.
She froze, her heart pounding as she looked toward the door.
No way, she just left and he found out she had drawn something on his face and came back to confront her?
"Xiaoping, I know you're not asleep."
Hearing Xu Yichen's voice from outside the door, Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief and went to open the door.
Could Xu Yichen please finish speaking before knocking next time? It's quite frightening; she thought Song Qi had returned.
What brings you here?
Su Ping looked at Xu Yichen standing outside the door and asked with a frown.
Xu Yichen looked at her without saying a word, his sadness evident on his face.
Did he get harshly rejected when he asked to get back together?
Su Ping's temples throbbed, and she stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder: "It's okay. Even a strong woman can be won over by persistent suitors. So what if I rejected you once? We need to adjust our mindset because this is definitely not the last time I'll reject you."
Xu Yichen sighed and nodded, finally speaking, "You're right, but Yifei has agreed to get back together with me."
"What?"
Su Ping twitched her lips, looked at Xu Yichen who was beaming with joy, and realized that she had just been tricked by him.
"Fine, fine," she stammered, sitting up in shock from her deathbed, realizing that the clown was herself.
She'll be wearing full makeup and disposable contact lenses all day tomorrow and staying home!
Seeing that she was stunned, Xu Yichen quickly asked, "What's wrong? Aren't you happy that I made up with her?"
Thinking about Xiaoping's feelings for him, Xu Yichen wanted to slap himself hard.
Although Xiaoping said she no longer liked him, wasn't it a bit too beastly for him to announce his reconciliation with Yifei in front of her?
"Don't overthink it, I'm just so happy and wanted to share it with you."
"After all, if you hadn't reminded me back then, I might not know that Yifei was thinking this way."
Xu Yichen slightly suppressed his smile and explained softly.
Seeing his guilty expression, Su Ping realized that he might have misunderstood her.
So he quickly said, "Don't overthink it, I absolutely don't have any romantic feelings for you right now!"
She has figured it out; she is no longer the love-struck Su Ping who only wanted to marry Xu Yichen.
She is now the only daughter of the president of a listed company, with more money than she could ever spend in her lifetime, and she could have any kind of man she wanted. Why should she waste her time on a man who doesn't like her?
Xu Yichen looked at her with a skeptical expression: "Really?"
Su Ping nodded quickly: "Of course, we need to find an opportunity to clarify things between us with our elders now. It's not good to keep letting them misunderstand."
The main concern is that if the news gets out, she won't be able to handle the situation if she doesn't marry Xu Yichen.
Thinking about his family situation, Xu Yichen sighed.
After Xiaoping's reminder last time, he guessed what his mother wanted to do.
In her mother's eyes, family background was more important than anything else.
At that time, my mother disregarded everything and stayed with my father, using family connections to help him start his business.
After seeing the photos her father had hidden on the bookshelf, her mother completely changed; she was no longer the gentle, smiling mother she remembered.
"good."
Seeing his worried and troubled expression, Su Ping couldn't bear to look at him like that.
"Why are you looking so miserable? There's always a way to solve a problem. Smile."
Xu Yichen was deeply moved to see her comfort him instead.
The thought that she couldn't remember anything because of him made him feel even more guilty.
"Pingping, once I've dealt with things here, I'll help you remember what happened before."
Upon hearing him mention his amnesia, Su Ping recalled Aunt Mei's words about how they used to be inseparable and decided to inquire about the situation.
"Brother Yichen, there's something I'd like to ask you."
Xu Yichen nodded, somewhat puzzled, "Okay, go ahead and ask."
Thinking about what she was going to ask, Su Ping coughed and scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly.
"I just want to ask, besides you, were there any other guys I liked before?"
"That's not quite right. I just wanted to ask..."
Su Ping didn't know how to express her meaning, but after those incidents, she realized that they were not coincidences, and that she definitely had some kind of story with Song Qi.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have that feeling.
Thinking of Song Qi, who had just left, Xu Yichen tentatively asked, "Are you asking about Yifei's younger brother, Xiao Qi?"
Su Ping was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him with shining eyes.
Is her ability to express herself so clear? Without even naming names, Xu Yichen guessed who she wanted to ask.
Xu Yichen tilted his head and thought for a moment. He hadn't had much contact with Yifei's younger brother.
He had stared at me like a thief the few times I'd run into him before. Whenever I held hands or hugged Yifei, he would frown and stare at me.
It was as if he would punch him if he dared to make another move.
He had always had this feeling that the relationship between Yifei and her younger brother was more than just a simple sibling relationship.
It had gone beyond the possessiveness of an ordinary younger brother towards his older sister, but he dared not think in that direction because Yifei cared about him a lot, and Song Qi could be said to be her only family member in the world.
Thinking of what Su Ping asked, Xu Yichen shook his head firmly.
"You and Xiao Qi didn't know each other before."
Before Su Ping revealed her true feelings, he always thought that Su Ping's feelings for him were just like a younger sister's feelings for her older brother, which was why she always wanted to stick to him.
So he can be sure of that.
The only connection between Xiaoping and Xiaoqi is probably Yifei, but Xiaoping has always disliked Yifei, let alone knowing and getting along with Yifei's younger brother.
Don't you recognize me?
Su Ping muttered to herself, not knowing why, but she felt that something was wrong.
Since she couldn't get anything out of Xu Yichen, she decided to investigate on her own to see if she could recall anything.
"Xiaoping, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing her lost in thought, Xu Yichen waved his hand in front of her eyes.
Su Ping snapped out of her daze, a nonchalant smile spreading across her face.
"It's nothing. I just had a sudden urge to ask. You can go back now, I'm going to sleep too."
Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, Xu Yichen nodded and prepared to turn around and go downstairs to leave.
But after taking only two steps, he turned back as if he remembered something, staring at her with a serious expression.
"Xiaoping, you and Xiaoqi..."
Su Ping looked over, somewhat puzzled, and saw him say something hesitantly.
“I treat you like a younger sister, so I don’t want you to get hurt, but Xiao Qi is not right for you.”
