Chapter 166 Destined
"For me?" Zhong Nianyao felt like her brain was almost at a standstill.
She never thought that Lu Yichen left just to buy her an ice cream cone. For a moment, she thought about the relationship between her and Lu Yichen. Although she was ignorant, she could still vaguely sense some things.
"Take it!" Lu Yichen said calmly, "Don't you want to try it?"
Zhong Nianyao reached out and took the ice cream cone from Lu Yichen's hand, her eyes looking a little complicated for a moment.
Lu Yichen sat down next to Zhong Nian Yao and did not notice the complexity in Zhong Nian Yao's eyes.
"Lu Yichen, you—" Zhong Nianyao frowned, thought for a moment, and then spoke, "Why are you treating me like this?"
Although she had never experienced love, she was no fool. Thinking back to the little moments she had spent with Lu Yichen, and how she had just glanced at the ice cream cone and Lu Yichen had immediately gone to buy it for her, she would never believe that such an action meant they were just ordinary friends.
However, if Lu Yichen liked her, that was a bit too much. They had only known each other for a short time and had not spent much time together, so it was impossible for them to develop any feelings for each other.
So, for a moment, she wanted to ask Lu Yichen first, but she didn't know how to express it.
"What do you think?"
Although Zhong Nianyao didn't explain it clearly, Lu Yichen obviously understood what she meant. "What do you think of the relationship between us?"
For a moment, Zhong Nianyao was at a loss for words. They weren't lovers, right? They weren't that close. But if they were just friends, there seemed to be a hint of ambiguity.
It can be said that before today, she had never thought of having anything to do with Lu Yichen. In fact, a few days ago, she had even vowed to Madam Lu that she had no other thoughts about Lu Yichen.
Today, she suddenly discovered that Lu Yichen's feelings for her did not seem so simple.
However, she didn't seem to have many thoughts about Lu Yichen right now. Or rather, she didn't have any thoughts about things like love for the time being.
"Lu Yichen, we haven't been together for very long, have we?" Zhong Nianyao turned her head and looked at Lu Yichen, as if trying to read his face. "I don't think you can understand anything about me in such a short time together."
"Yao'er,"
Lu Yichen even changed his address, "Do you believe in fate? When I first saw you, I felt like we knew each other before."
Hearing Lu Yichen's name for her, Zhong Nianyao felt goosebumps all over her body. She quickly raised her hand to stop him, "Don't call me by my name like that. Our relationship hasn't reached that point yet."
That kind of address sounds like the whispers between lovers. Given their current relationship, they definitely cannot use such an address.
"Yao'er, I think it's great." Lu Yichen said with a low laugh, "Besides, it's just a name. Do you really care that much?"
Yaoer, Yaoer!
When he called out this name, he always felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had often whispered it before.
Zhong Nianyao stood up and said, "It's getting late, I'll leave first."
After saying that, she ignored Lu Yichen's reaction and left quickly.
All of Lu Yichen's reactions today were beyond her expectations. In fact, she had never imagined anything like this would happen between them. For a moment, her emotions were a bit chaotic. So, she chose to flee. At least, for now, she didn't want to face Lu Yichen like this.
Lu Yichen, who was left alone, did not show any loneliness on his face. He looked at Zhong Nianyao's back as she left, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Alan and Uncle Li, who were hiding in the dark, came to Lu Yichen at this time.
When they saw the sincere smile on Lu Yichen's face, they were both shocked, and at the same time, they had a clearer understanding of the weight of Zhong Nianyao in Lu Yichen's heart.
They had always seen their master's meaningful smiles, calculating smiles, and smiles devoid of any warmth. However, they had never seen a genuine smile from their master like this one, one that came from the heart.
They didn't know what was so special about Zhong Nianyao that made the master care about her so much. Although they admitted that Zhong Nianyao was indeed very powerful, the master had met many powerful girls in the past, but never like this.
However, no matter why the master was so special to Zhong Nianyao, it didn't matter. What mattered was that since the master cared about Zhong Nianyao, then they, as subordinates, should naturally understand the master's intentions.
On the other side, Zhong Nianyao gradually calmed down after getting into the taxi, and her brain started working again.
Leaning back in the chair, Zhong Nian Yao couldn't help but take a deep breath, a look of helplessness appearing on her face.
It must be said that Lu Yichen's behavior today really caught her off guard. She didn't know why Lu Yichen treated her like this, but such feelings were a bit inexplicable and she found it difficult to accept.
However, she was a little surprised that Lu Yichen actually believed in something like fate. Aren't things like this something that little girls should like?
"Forget it, forget it. I don't want to think about it anymore."
Zhong Nianyao shook her head, trying to get rid of all the messy thoughts in her mind.
"Girl, have you run into any difficulties?" the driver teased with amusement. "Girls your age shouldn't overthink things. You still have plenty of youth left! Just live comfortably and happily."
"Driver, you're pretty quick!"
Zhong Nian Yao looked up, and when she saw the driver in front of her clearly, the smile on her face disappeared immediately and her brows frowned.
The driver didn't notice Zhong Nianyao's sudden change of expression in the back seat, and continued to chatter, "Little girl! I have a daughter, a little younger than you, who is in her third year of high school! However, she is busy as a dog every day now and has no time to be sad..."
Listening to the driver's chattering, Zhong Nianyao frowned even more.
The driver didn't care whether Zhong Nian Yao answered or not, and continued talking to himself. It can be seen that he is a very talkative person.
After arriving at the destination, Zhong Nian Yao got off the car, thought for a while, and finally took out a folded talisman paper from her bag, put some money in it, and handed it to the driver.
