Chapter 18 Do you like Lin Younan?
Ye Qingning turned to look at him and saw that the man's handsome face, with its sharp features, remained as cold and indifferent as ever.
Those deep eyes grew even more profound, making it impossible to discern any emotion within them.
Didn't he hear what she and Zhou Yunai were saying in the study just now?
Now you're asking what it means?
Wasn't it him who was outside the door at the time?
After a moment's thought, Ye Qingning smiled and said, "My mother suspects that the injury on my wrist was caused by cutting my wrist, so she specifically told me to get along well with you. In addition, she was worried that we didn't have enough money and wanted to give me some pocket money, but I refused."
"Pocket money?" Lin Feiyan didn't expect her to interpret receiving a check as pocket money: "Why did you refuse?"
"It's for no reason, we're not short of money." Ye Qingning's smile was exceptionally clear: "I don't want to put pressure on you. We spend as much as we have, there's no need to beg for charity from others."
Lin Feiyan's lips curled into a cool smile.
If Ye Qingning deliberately said those words in the study for him to hear, then why did she choose to conceal them when she wanted to take credit?
What exactly was she thinking?
After a moment of silence, Lin Feiyan glanced at her calmly, his eyes narrowing slightly: "Judging from Ye Qingxue's words, the person you like is Lin Younan?"
"How could that be!" Ye Qingning retorted instinctively, then added righteously, "You are more than a hundred or a thousand times more handsome than him."
Lin Feiyan sneered: "I advise you not to lie to me!"
Ye Qingning swallowed nervously; this potentially disastrous question had finally arrived.
"I did say things like I liked Lin Younan on some occasions, but that wasn't me at all!"
Ye Qingning knew this explanation was also very far-fetched, but she could only bite the bullet and continue, "Or you could say that the me back then was not the me now."
Lin Feiyan sneered: "The metaphysics of 'a white horse is not a horse' is outdated."
Ye Qingning frowned and thought for a while: "Anyway, since I returned to the Lin residence, I've been a completely new person. I really have absolutely no interest in Lin Younan now. I just want to stay at the Lin residence and take care of you, until..."
I logged off automatically when the female lead appeared.
Seeing her pause, Lin Feiyan's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Understand what?"
Ye Qingning pondered for a moment, then put on a sincere smile: "Until the day you no longer need me to take care of you."
Lin Feiyan stared at her with his deep eyes, but surprisingly, the woman was not afraid to meet his gaze at all, and her eyes were full of sincerity.
Although he might not believe her words, he could clearly see Ye Qingxue's obvious provocation just now, so he naturally didn't want to argue with Ye Qingning.
Moreover, he was quite satisfied with her overall performance today.
Lin Feiyan twirled his fingers, then looked away from her face, gazing at the bustling street and uttering a few words.
"If anyone gives you pocket money in the future, just accept it. After all, our family isn't well-off, and I don't have much money to give you."
Ye Qingning breathed a sigh of relief but was also speechless; this was probably what being stingy meant.
He's incredibly wealthy, yet he won't spend a single penny on her.
But for now, she still smiled and said, "It's okay, I have money."
When the Ye family first brought her back, they treated her quite well, buying her a lot of jewelry and luxury goods. In addition, her parents would occasionally give her some pocket money, which was enough to support their household expenses for a period of time.
As long as she can successfully gain enough goodwill and leave Lin Feiyan safely, she can still earn money through her own abilities.
Money is a small matter when it comes to life and death.
There's nothing to worry about.
...
The car traveled along the boulevard, which was both dark and brightly lit, passing by Qingcheng Square in the city center. At that moment, the square was bustling with people and was very lively.
From a distance, Ye Qingning saw a group of teenagers skateboarding on the steps, their movements free and unrestrained. Memories from her previous world instantly flooded into her mind.
She once practiced skateboarding so hard to compete for a role that she almost reached a professional level, but because she had no connections, the role was still taken by someone else.
But her love for skateboarding has remained ever since.
When she has nothing to do or is feeling down, skateboarding has become her way of passing the time.
Watching those young people leaping on skateboards, she suddenly felt a strong urge to try it herself.
“Mr. Lin,” Ye Qingning’s smile was exceptionally gentle, “May I go downstairs and play for a while? Just for a little while.”
