Chapter 347 Happy New Year (XIV)
Ye Yao walked back reluctantly. Li Cheng followed her all the time. She didn’t speak, and neither did he.
She didn't stop until she entered the alley where her home was.
"Don't take those words to heart. I just wanted Huang Ying to stop coming to me. It's very troublesome."
"I didn't handle it well."
Ye Yao was apologizing to Li Cheng, but she didn't expect him to suddenly say such a thing.
Li Cheng's expression became serious, and he looked at her seriously. "Originally, this was my business, but I didn't expect to implicate you. In fact, I should thank you. I think she won't bother me anymore after today."
Ye Yao immediately felt relieved, because that was the fact.
Before this, she had no contact with Huang Ying. It was because of him that the girl regarded her as a love rival and targeted her everywhere.
"Are you laughing?"
Li Cheng looked at her slightly raised mouth corners and raised his eyebrows.
Aren't they talking about a very serious topic?
So what is she happy about?
"Yeah, I didn't expect Professor Li to be so reasonable and able to distinguish right from wrong."
Ye Yao praised.
Li Cheng: ...
This girl's way of thinking is really different from that of ordinary people.
"Well, so I have to thank you for solving the problem for me. I'll treat you to lunch at noon?"
Ye Yao hesitated for a moment, "You have so many relatives at home, is it appropriate for you not to go back?"
She didn't care, since her mother wouldn't be back at noon and she was alone there.
"They're not here to see me, there's nothing inappropriate about that. What do you want to eat?"
Li Cheng looked at her with a half-smile, and couldn't help wondering what kind of smug expression this girl had when she said those words to Huang Ying? Well, love at first sight, she would marry no one but her, and she was the one she dreamed of. She was lucky to think of that!
"Anything is fine. I'm not picky about food. But why are you looking at me like that?"
Ye Yao felt a little numb from being stared at by him. It was obvious from his expression that he was thinking about something.
"I just suddenly thought of a question."
Li Cheng slowly "tightened" his cheeks, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
"What's the problem?"
"Today's incident was too publicized. Now almost the entire Li family knows that I have confessed my feelings to you and this is how our relationship ends.
What about breaking off the engagement?"
Li Cheng deliberately made his expression serious and observed her reaction after he finished speaking.
Ye Yao was slightly stunned. Yes, they had agreed to announce the cancellation of the engagement after the New Year.
"Shall we explain this to Uncle Li and Aunt Shen together?"
Li Cheng sighed heavily and shook his head. "Do you think they will believe it? And even if they do, do I have to explain it to all the relatives here today one by one? Then how will they look at me?"
Ye Yao frowned directly. This was really a big problem.
It was all her fault. She never thought that her unintentional words would bring so much trouble to both of them.
"So what do you want to do? I can cooperate."
There was a gleam of light in Li Cheng's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
"Let's not rush. We still have some time to go, and we'll always find a solution. Let's go eat first."
Ye Yao looked at his back as he walked in front of him, thinking about the conversation just now and everything that happened today, and always felt that something seemed to be wrong.
Obviously he just wanted to deal with the "trouble" of Huang Ying, so why is he now involved in the issue of breaking off the engagement?
Originally, canceling the engagement was inevitable, but looking at the current situation, it can only be postponed again and again?
It seems like this shouldn't be the way it develops, right?
