Chapter 145 Because of Your Face
Chang Yi, who was driving, tilted his head and glanced at Ye Mengmeng: "How did you figure that out?"
"Then can you tell me if that's right?"
Chang Yi pursed his lips: "Not now."
“Mengmeng, when I first went to America as a child, only Nuonuo was willing to come close to me. Even if I scolded her or scared her, she wouldn’t leave.”
Ye Mengmeng twisted the bag of skincare products in her hand.
"So, will she be your girlfriend in the future?"
Chang Yi chuckled and slowed down the car: "I don't know, Mengmeng, but I know you like me."
Ye Mengmeng's mouth was slightly open, but she did not say anything to explain.
"You may have misunderstood my kindness towards you."
"Because you saved me and my brother, I have an obligation to take good care of you and Auntie. It is what I should do, and it is also what I promised to do when you took us in, to ensure that you have enough to eat and wear."
"My identity is very sensitive, I can't possibly implicate you."
Suddenly, the cramped car was filled with Chang Yi's helpless laughter: "I've liked Nuonuo since I was a teenager. She's innocent, lively, a little princess who's been pampered by everyone, and she follows me around every day."
"But at that time, he was the person my stepbrother was going to marry."
"I avoid her; if I like her, I can only hide from her."
"Even after being away from her for several years, I still miss her and still want to sneak back to see her from afar."
He knew that Nuonuo had boarded the plane with him, and he tacitly approved of it.
Otherwise, she would never have been able to arrive in China unharmed.
Perhaps she was taken back by her security detail before she even stepped into the airport.
Ye Mengmeng remained silent the entire way in the car; she did not cry.
I don't seem to be that sad.
I've finally found direction in my long-standing, confusing relationship.
At that moment, she realized that she might not be able to like Chang Yi as much anymore.
Those who can handle things gently are definitely not those who love them much.
"I'm sorry, Mengmeng, I can't like you."
Ye Mengmeng chuckled: "Is it that you can't like it, or that you just don't like it in the first place?"
Chang Yi parked the car in front of the building where she lived: "There are many kinds of liking, and they can't be confused with loving someone."
Before getting off the bus, Ye Mengmeng asked Chang Yi, "Do you love Nuonuo?"
"She's so cute, and she's someone you've liked for almost ten years, you should love her, right?"
The boy grinned mischievously and shrugged, "I don't know, I just find her annoying when she's making noise, but I don't want her to leave."
Chang Yi took a small bag out of the car: "Okay, let's still be good friends. My brother has a lot of handsome guys around him. I'll have him introduce you to some guys another day."
Ye Mengmeng took the things he gave her: "Okay, then you must introduce someone handsome, I'm a sucker for good looks."
"Ah Yi, I suddenly realize that I like you because of your face."
Chang Yi chuckled: "That's an honor for my face. Get some rest and say hello to your aunt for me."
As the car drove away, Ye Mengmeng's laughter turned into tears.
It's okay, she said it.
Having received the answer, I will focus on making money from now on to give my mother a better life and not let down Sister Qiao's special care.
When we returned to the villa, it suddenly started snowing heavily again.
Qiao Xu stood at the door.
"Sis, you waited for me here especially for me."
"How are you, Mengmeng? I didn't say anything hurtful, did I?"
Before he left, Qiao Xu sent him a message, telling him to speak politely to people and not to be as sarcastic as Xu Si'an.
Chang Yi was utterly helpless: "Sis, I'm not my brother, okay?"
"He clearly lacks emotional intelligence."
Qiao Xu was amused by him; he really was the mischievous kid that Xu Si'an had raised.
"You don't necessarily have high emotional intelligence either; it's just that Nuonuo has a good temper."
Chang Yi objected: "She has a good temper? Sis, I'll take you to the hospital to get your eyes checked after the New Year."
Qiao Xu slapped his arm: "You brat."
Chang Yi told Qiao Xu about the conversation that took place in the car.
"Ayi, do you really like Nuonuo, or are you just saying this to deceive Mengmeng?"
Chang Yi opened his mouth, but when he saw the person behind Qiao Xu, his words took a different turn: "Sis, would you like a kid who's always clinging to you?"
Nono rushed forward: "I'm not a child."
"I won't cling to you anymore. I'm going back to America tomorrow."
Qiao Xu looked at the stubborn boy in front of her and said, "Even if the sky falls, your mouth and Xu Si'an's mouth can each hold up half the sky."
Seeing that he didn't move, Qiao Xu stepped on his foot: "Go and coax him."
In the room, a white suitcase was thrown on the floor, and the doll, along with its clothes and hangers, was thrown into the suitcase.
Chang Yi crossed his arms and leaned against the doorway: "If you keep doing this, the box won't close."
Nono grabbed the teddy bear from the bed and threw it into his arms: "Here you go, it's ugly, I don't want it anymore."
Chang Yi pinched the bear's ears: "This lousy bear is so old, why are you still reluctant to throw it away? I don't even know if there's any saliva on it. You dare to give it back to me, but I don't dare to take it back."
The angry doll grabbed the bear and threw it on the suitcase.
"Get out of here, you princess!"
Chang Yi smiled, his smile deepening.
I've angered you.
Even 'this princess' has come out.
You should know that this was the first time she had ever lost her temper with him since they met.
That's more like it.
This is what a pampered little princess should be like.
During this time here, although she wasn't exactly subservient, he could tell that Qiao Xu felt guilty about her accident and was afraid that he would tie her up and throw her onto a plane to America.
They pretend to be well-behaved in front of others and behind their backs.
Chang Yi went in, picked up her coat, and dragged her out by the collar.
"Chang Yi, you scoundrel, let go of this princess right now!"
"Where are my guards? I'll have them teach you a lesson."
Chang Yi was afraid that she would struggle and fall down the stairs, so he carried her on his shoulder.
"Let me go, you bad guy, I'll bite you to death."
"Stop howling, your guards aren't here."
Nono bit his shoulder, and the next second she burst into loud sobs: "Are you made of stone? You've hurt my teeth!"
"Sister Qiao, please come and save Nuonuo! This bad guy is going to throw Nuonuo away!"
Qiao Xu stood at the top of the stairs on the third floor, watching the two of them playfully bickering.
Chang Yi turned around and gave her a reassuring look.
Xu Si'an was in a video conference, and Qiao Xu was sitting next to him reading a novel.
Just as I was engrossed in watching, I heard a babyish voice downstairs, crying and screaming.
Qiao Xu smiled and returned to the study, where she lay half-reclined on the sofa and continued reading a novel on her tablet.
Ye Yurou had just shared a book about male-male relationships with her, and she was smiling like a proud aunt the whole time she read it.
Even more outrageous is that she would automatically project He Yanxun and Si Shen's faces onto the screen.
However, in the novel, the protagonist is a lawyer who is the top and a domineering CEO who is the bottom.
It's so addictive!
She was so engrossed in watching that she didn't even notice Xu Si'an approaching.
The man crouched behind her: "The Bugatti is shaking violently..."
Qiao Xu was so startled that she almost dropped the tablet on her face, but Xu Si'an caught it in her hand.
He swiped through the two pages before and after, then cornered Qiao Xu on the sofa: "A Bugatti? There's one in the garage too, Qiao Qiao, do you want to try it?"
"Give me back my tablet."
Qiao Xu happened to see the young couple playing with their cars, and it was... incredibly passionate and chaotic.
"Xu Si'an, you're not allowed to look!"
God knows what that feeling is like, the famous scene of someone getting caught red-handed with a flirtatious little article.
It was incredibly awkward.
"If I have a stockpile of chapters, I'll add more chapters. If I don't have a stockpile, I can only guarantee that I won't stop updating. And this is freshly written!"
