Leng Yueyue could smell something fishy between them, but as a girl, she chose to stand by Yan’s side. If Yan was unwilling to let Xiao Su send her home, Leng Yueyue was willing to help her with the situation.
Therefore, she pulled Yan to her side and gave Xiao Su an unfriendly stare. “I don’t think she’ll disturb us at all. I’m delighted with her going back home with us because there will be someone on the road to accompany me so that I won’t feel bored. Besides, I hadn’t seen her in a long time. Come. Let’s talk about the good old times.”
With that, Leng Yueyue wrapped her hand around Yan’s shoulder like a man as she brought her to the direction of the car.
Meanwhile, Xiao Su and Wang An were looking at each other. Xiao Su looked fine, but Wang An’s face had traces of rage. After the two girls walked away, Wang An spoke to Xiao Su in a low voice while giving him a look of disdain, “You can’t be like this, bro. I won’t comment on the way you court girls, but now, you’re dragging me down with you. I’m not blaming you, but can you stay away from us the next time? This was a great chance for me.”
Xiao Su was also helpless as he smiled resignedly. “I’m working hard too, but the two of you suddenly showed up, so what else could I do?”
Wang An let out a sigh, showing that his heart was in pain.
Then, Leng Yueyue’s shout came to him from afar. “Wang An, are you coming or not? Or do you plan to stay with him?”
Wang An trembled before replying to her immediately, “No, no. I’m coming right now!”
After that, he gave Xiao Su a look, indicating that Xiao Su should up his game, before catching up with them.
Xiao Su stood stationary as he watched Yan’s figure being brought away. He felt extremely helpless. This girl still resists me very much. It’s giving me a headache.
When they got in the car, Yan and Leng Yueyue sat on the back seat while Wang An drove the car with a gloomy mood. Then, the two girls’ conversation was heard from the back. “Thank you, Leng Yueyue.”
Yan looked at her gratefully as she thanked her. Leng Yueyue was giving out a proud look when she patted her own chest. “What are you thanking me for? One should always help a friend in need. You are also my idol’s best friend, so helping you is equivalent to helping my idol too.”
Yan remained silent. She is another one of Muzi’s fans. She was surprised to see that Han Muzi’s work had drawn the attention of so many fans. Even though she was happy for her, at the same time, she also noticed how useless she herself was. After so many years, I still have not achieved anything.
“But, wasn’t that person Young Master Ye’s assistant? Does he fancy you?”
Leng Yueyue asked her directly without holding back or beating around the bush. Her directness even caused Yan’s face to flush as she turned away to cough lightly. “I don’t think it counts as… fancying me.”
“Why are you this easily shy?” Leng Yueyue stared at her red face, as if she had just discovered something fun. Then, she held her chin with both her hands. “Does that mean he is courting you?”
Yan nodded and grunted an acknowledgement softly.
“Ha. Not bad. He looks normal to me, but you can give it a try by the looks of things.” Leng Yueyue started reviewing Xiao Su seriously. As she was halfway through her point, she suddenly thought of something before saying to Wang An at the front, “He is much more handsome than you.”
Wang An remained quiet as he grinded his teeth. Who have I messed with today? This Xiao Su really is something else. Not only did he take away my alone time with Yueyue, she is now even saying that he is much more handsome than me.
Thinking about it, Wang An felt highly unsatisfied inside. “He isn’t as imposing and well built as me, so you won’t feel secure with him around. I’m the opposite; if someone dares to bully you, I will definitely help you take them all down and make them pay ten times more than what they did to you.”
Leng Yueyue stared at him. “You can forget about it and stop being so smug. I’m amazed you don’t feel embarrassed, selling yourself highly to others. You’re just a big, stupid man.”
“He-he. Who cares if I’m a big, stupid man? I will cling on to you anyway.”
Leng Yueyue’s face flushed instantly, then she gave him a fierce stare. “Shut up!”
While sitting aside, Yan blinked her eyes as she suddenly realized that she had made a mistake. Even though I’ve escaped Xiao Su, at the end… I’ve become their third wheel. No wonder Wang An’s face looked sullen since just now. So this is why.
All of a sudden, Yan was too embarrassed to talk.
When they reached her house, she smiled and thanked them, “Thank you two for sending me back. I’ll treat both of you to a meal next time if there’s a chance.”
“No need for that. It’s better if you don’t treat us to a meal next time because I’d like a chance for us to be alone. Thank you,” Wang An spoke.
Yan was rendered speechless. “You’re so honest.”
Slap! Leng Yueyue straight away used her hand to give the back of Wang An’s head a slap. “Shut the hell up!” After that, Wang An kept quiet while rubbing his head, but a smirk was still on his face. Then, Leng Yueyue turned toward Yan. “Alright. Just don’t listen to his nonsense. His mind works in ways different than a normal person’s; he’s super weird. You can go up now. We’ll go after we watch you go up.”
“Thank you. Then I’ll go now. Be careful on the road.”
Yan quickly went upstairs before walking toward the window so that she could look down. She saw that Leng Yueyue was also looking up to her. After Yan gave her a wave, Leng Yueyue smiled before she went back into the car and left.
After she saw the two of them leave, she stood there in a daze. Although the two of them keep on fighting with each other, they still look happy. Everyone seems to be happy with their lives, except me…
“What are you doing, standing here?” A voice suddenly came from behind, and it gave Yan a good scare as she almost jumped from the ground.
Yan turned her head afterward and saw Luo Huimei holding a glass of water. She was standing behind while staring at her creepily.
It was already late in the night, and Luo Huimei’s looks were a bit scary. Yan held her chest in anger. “Mom, you scared me! Can you not do this to me at night? What if I get a cardiac arrest because of this?”
“Pffft.” Luo Huimei casually scoffed before walking toward the window to look down, seemingly curious. “You say I am scary, but isn’t standing beside the window silently while looking down scary too? Some may even assume that you want to jump off the building.”
Yan remained quiet before replying to her, “This is just the third floor. If I really were trying to jump off the building, shouldn’t I go to the top roof?”
“What are you looking at? A lover? Did a man send you back?” Luo Huimei asked.
After Yan took off her shoes, she gradually took off the accessories on her piece by piece. She didn’t answer Luo Huimei’s question; instead, she asked her something else, “Muzi invited you two to the party, but why did you leave so soon? Where did the two of you go? I didn’t see you during the whole party.”
“Oh.” Luo Huimei sat beside her. “We went playing with Little Bean. Your father really adores that kid. He thinks that he is smart, adorable and loving. When we came back home, he even told me that it would be nice for you to get married soon and have a cute and intelligent baby like Little Bean.”
Yan stopped her movements before slowly raising her head. “Mom, are you urging me to get married?”
“What do you think?” Luo Huimei raised her eyebrows. “You aren’t young anymore, and we only have you, our only daughter. Who else can we urge except for you? Besides, after you brought such an adorable kid to us, it made us more eager to urge you.”
Yan was speechless at the start. “It’s still early for me to get married! Both of you can just have fun with Little Bean. Please don’t have ideas about me for now.”
Yan put on a pair of slippers and went to her room for a bath. “Mom, you should sleep early, and I’ll also sleep after taking a bath. It’s been a tiring day.”
