I forced myself to calm down.
Che Xiaofeng was young and had never experienced anything like this, so he relied on playing with toys to hide his panic.
I can't panic. If I panic, it will only make Che Xiaofeng more nervous and scared.
I quickly forced a faint smile and greeted Yan Meng.
"You came here, why didn't you tell me?"
Yan Meng smiled gently and glanced at the can of tea on the coffee table.
"I happened to go to a tea-growing area these past two days, so I brought a can of new tea for Auntie."
Mingsi didn't know what Yan Meng had done to me, so at this moment she looked at Yan Meng with a smile in her eyes, and her love for him was written on her face.
"Yan Meng is such a thoughtful kid. He knows I love drinking tea, so he specially brought it to me."
Looking at Mingsi's smiling face, I also twitched the corners of my mouth.
Seeing that I was the only one back, Mingsi asked suspiciously, "Where's your uncle? Didn't he go out with you? Why didn't he come back with you?"
Mingsi's question saved me, allowing me to use gossip to cover up my coldness towards Yan Meng.
I excitedly shared the news with Mingsi: "Mom, my uncle is finally single! You and grandpa and grandma can finally rest assured."
"Ah?" Mingsi was stunned for a moment and vaguely guessed something.
"My uncle and Qiu Qiu have confessed their love! They are now officially in a relationship!" I thought happily, "It won't be long before my best friend becomes my aunt, your sister-in-law!"
Hearing this good news, Mingsi was surprised and happy, and couldn't stop smiling.
"Really?! This is so great! Mingyuan finally got his revenge. Your grandparents and I were so worried that he would never get married!"
Mingsi was so anxious that he couldn't sit still, as if there was a big happy event in his family.
"No, I have to tell your grandparents the good news right away."
Mingsi couldn't wait to stand up and call the two elders of the Ming family.
I smiled at Mingsi, then turned around and pretended to care about Che Xiaofeng.
"Have you finished your homework today?"
"Ah?" Che Xiaofeng, feeling somewhat guilty and afraid of being exposed, echoed, "Just a little bit more."
"Go back to your room and finish your homework. Then come out and play."
Che Xiaofeng knew what I meant and did not show any reluctance. He sensibly put down the toy in his hand and went back to his room.
Yan Meng and I were the only ones left in the living room.
When I saw him again and faced him, my mood was completely different from before.
I concealed my anger, kept a cold face and said nothing.
Yan Meng cautiously asked, "Are you still angry with me for using Zhao Xian to threaten Lu Zhiyuan?"
Thinking about how we parted on bad terms last time, I now had a reason to be angry.
Compared with what he did to me, I suddenly felt that using Zhao Xian to threaten Lu Zhiyuan was nothing.
At least he was threatening Lu Zhiyuan openly instead of doing it secretly.
I simply pretended to be still angry and said coldly, "Zhao Xian has already surrendered herself. Your wishful thinking has failed."
Yan Meng didn't care: "At least, it made you give up on Lu Zhiyuan, didn't it?"
"I no longer have any feelings for Lu Zhiyuan. You are just too self-righteous."
I mocked him at first, then warned him pointedly, "Can you please stop doing such childish things in the future? I'm telling you straight out, I don't like either you or Lu Zhiyuan!"
Even after hearing this, Yan Meng didn't get angry but laughed instead. He stared at me with interest and jokingly said, "It's rare to see you angry in front of me, but you're quite cute when you're angry."
