Chapter 319 He Can't Give Up
"Okay, now that we've finished visiting the exhibition, let's go back first. Our flight is scheduled for the afternoon, and we're flying back to Kyoto today."
She said goodbye to Lu Zhengze, "Next time, I will give you a gift as a reward for today."
Although Lu Zhengze was reluctant, he didn't force it. Instead, he smiled and said, "Then, Senior Sister, will you paint me as a return gift? I can grant you the rights to my portrait permanently."
Jiang Yao smiled awkwardly: "If there is a chance."
The low pressure around Li Beiting began to become stronger again.
Before the man exploded, she took his arm and said goodbye and left.
As for the paintings, Lu Zhengze said he would send them to her personally.
As he watched the two people's backs disappear from his sight, the ambition in Lu Zhengze's eyes became stronger and stronger.
Li Beiting, are you the only one allowed to use tricks to assert your sovereignty?
As long as Jiang Yao doesn't make an official announcement, he won't give up.
…
Jiang Yao pulled Li Beiting for a long way before letting him go.
"This is the secret you've been hiding from me. You're dating your good junior without telling me. How rude of you!" The man's tone was as sour as if he had tasted a few pounds of lemons, making his teeth ache.
"What date? I just wanted to express my gratitude to him for helping Yaya, so I went with him to the art exhibition. Besides, I like looking at art myself. As for what happened next... I didn't expect it."
As she spoke, her confidence grew weaker.
Li Beiting sneered, feeling unhappy, and blurted out: "As long as it's for gratitude, you're willing to do anything he asks you to do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he had made a mistake.
Sure enough, Jiang Yao's expression turned cold. "Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Without waiting for his answer, Jiang Yao continued, "I admit that I did make mistakes. I shouldn't have kept it a secret from you at first, but because I only regarded him as my junior brother, I didn't think about it that way. I also didn't think it was a big deal, so I cooperated with his concealment.
But do you think I'm the kind of person who's going to have my cake and eat it too? "
"No, Yaoyao, that's not what I meant." Li Beiting stepped forward and put his arm around her shoulders.
Jiang Yao wanted to break free.
The next second, she was hugged tightly in the man's arms.
Li Beiting's movements were so powerful that it seemed as if he wanted to merge her into his bones and blood.
Her voice was low and hoarse. "I'm sorry. I've never doubted your character. I know your personality. It's just that I'm not good enough. I don't have enough confidence. So many people like you, and I'm afraid I can't compare to them. I said the wrong thing just now. Yaoyao, can you forgive me?"
This was the first time he spoke to her in such a humble and pleading tone.
Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, and the anger he had just felt disappeared, and his expression softened.
At this moment, she began to wonder if it was because she had never made it public that made him so insecure.
She felt a surge of regret and guilt.
Her tone softened, "No matter how many people like me, there is only one person I like, and that is the person hugging me in front of me."
She made her attitude clear to him.
Just a simple sentence dispelled all the uneasiness in Li Beiting's heart.
A low laugh came from her ear, and the sound seemed to vibrate through the man's chest and into her eardrum.
"With your words, I am satisfied."
Jiang Yao's heartbeat also began to accelerate unconsciously, and his cheeks felt slightly hot. "Okay, let's go back."
She was afraid of being seen through, so she broke free from the man's arms and walked forward.
Li Beiting quickly caught up.
His eyes were filled with joy and arrogance.
It seems that Lu Zhengze's existence is not meaningless.
At the critical moment, it can promote the development of his relationship with Yaoyao.
At this moment, he felt that the other party was not so annoying anymore.
After returning home and having lunch, Jiang Yao said goodbye to Shu Ya.
Before leaving, she did not forget to privately advise, "Yaya, if you encounter difficulties next time, ask my second uncle for help. Don't feel burdened. Uncle Zhuangxian and his nephew are very difficult to deal with together. You should also find a helper, right?"
"Don't worry, since he is willing to stay, he must be of use to me, otherwise why would I keep him!" Shu Ya said as a matter of course.
This is completely different from the previous rejection attitude.
Jiang Yao was very pleased to see this, "I'm glad you think so."
She pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Do you have anything you want me to take back to others?"
Shu Ya was stunned for a few seconds, then she shook her head firmly, "No."
Jiang Yao instantly frowned, gave her a deep hug, and then took a plane back to Kyoto with Li Beiting.
Due to the delay of a few days, there was a pile of work at the base and the laboratory.
Jiang Yao didn't even have time to rest after returning home, and immediately threw himself into it.
It's almost been a week since I finished the work.
When she returned home, she happened to see her fourth uncle coming out of the villa area with a suit hanging from his arm.
He looked much more haggard than before.
There was a sense of decadence on that handsome face, but it did not reduce his charm at all, but instead added a sense of brokenness.
"Fourth uncle, are you going out?"
Jiang Jinghe's eyes lit up when he saw her and he strode towards her.
"Yaoyao, you're back." Jiang Jinghe observed her expression and said hesitantly, "How... have you been lately?"
"I'm fine. I've been back for a week. I've just been working in the lab lately and haven't been home much." Jiang Yao explained with a smile.
"Oh." Jiang Jinghe pursed his lips and asked, "Are you going to your grandparents' house for dinner tonight? They miss you a lot."
"Yes, but they all know I'm back and have seen me before." Jiang Yao thought his question was a bit strange.
"Is that so?" Jiang Jinghe nodded hesitantly, a look of confusion flashing across his gentle and handsome face.
Jiang Yao simply spoke directly: "Fourth Uncle, what exactly do you want to ask me? Just tell me directly."
Jiang Jinghe was slightly startled. He didn't expect to be seen through so directly.
After hesitating for a moment, he spoke softly, "Since you're back, then... was Shuya's last blind date successful? How is she now?"
Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, he finally wanted to ask her about Shu Ya's situation.
She felt it was ironic, and her face darkened. "Fourth Uncle, what do you mean now? Wasn't what I said last time clear enough?
Since you didn't choose to stop it when I told you that Yaya was going on a blind date, then from now on don't get involved in her life anymore.
Whether her blind date was successful or not, or what her current situation is, has nothing to do with you."
When she thought about how Jiang Jinghe had never been by Shu Ya's side when she was in danger, and how he had the nerve to ask her questions now, she felt extremely angry.
"Yaoyao, I just..." Jiang Jinghe didn't know how to explain to her that Ji Wanqing's appearance disturbed his mind.
