Mo Xiaomeng could tell that he was angry. She shook her head and said, âNo. I didnât say that Iâm not going.â
She was too absorbed in her thoughts just now, so she was slow to reply to him.
âSo you are willing to accompany me on this business trip?â Ye Sijue asked seriously as his blue eyes stared fixedly at her. It was as if whether she was willing or not meant a lot to him.
If she was willing, then it would mean that he still had a place in her heart.
Mo Xiaomeng nodded and said, âIâm willing.â
She thought that since she would have to return to America anyways, she could keep him company for a few days and then find a way to tell him that she would have to go back home.
Ye Sijue held up her little hand to his lips, and he gave her a light bite.
âWhy are you biting me?â Mo Xiaomeng felt a little pain as she looked at him, puzzled. She tried to retract her hand, but he caught her in a tight grip.
Her delicate, fair palm had a faint arc of teeth marks.
The corner of his lips curled up faintly, and his stern expression vanished. Sounding as though he were punishing her, he said, âWhy did you have to hesitate then? Are you thinking of staying here to accompany Xiaoxiao? Am I, your boyfriend, or is she, your good friend, more important to you?â
Although it was quite childish to be jealous, he couldnât help it.
Mo Xiaomengâs cheeks blushed. She stuttered, âW-who said that you are my boyfriend?â
When did he become her boyfriend?
Ye Sijueâs eyes narrowed. âYou were the one who said it, did you forget? When you were in Nanxiang Old Town, that was what you said to the human trafficker.â
Mo Xiaomeng stared blankly. She just remembered that.
âT-that is⦠only something I said without much thought to trick him. I thought I could scare him with that.â
âSomething said without thinking the matter through tends to be spoken from the heart.â Ye Sijue insisted, wanting her to admit that he was her boyfriend.
Mo Xiaomeng snorted. She pouted unhappily and said, âYouâre unreasonable! Itâs not like weâ¦â
He didnât even confess to her, and he wanted to be her boyfriend?
Heh heh. Did he even ask for her approval?
There was a strange light in Ye Sijueâs blue eyes as if he had thought of something, his smile enigmatic.
He knew what she was going to say.
And he was also planning to give her a pleasant surpriseâ¦
Pretending not to understand, Ye Sijue said deliberately in a bossy manner, âIn any case, since you have already said that Iâm your boyfriend, you canât go back on your word.â
âH-how is this going back on my word? I donât want to talk to you anymore.â Mo Xiaomeng couldnât beat him in the argument. She quickly pushed open the door and got out of the car.
Ye Sijue chuckled. Instead of replying to her, he got out of the car, went to the other side of the car, and grabbed her little hand.
âYouâre not familiar with this place. Donât wander around. Follow me.â
With that said, he led her to the elevator.
Upon reaching the top floor, he held her hand as they walked out of the elevator. The workers at the scene were all stupefied when they saw the two of them.
What was this about?
Young Master Ye brought his girlfriend to the office?
Young Master Ye actually had a girlfriend!
Very soon, the news spread throughout Ye Corporation.
Though Mo Xiaomeng had long been accustomed to other people staring at her, this time it was a bit different. The way that these people were staring at her was too⦠weird! They were a bit too brazen.
âHeyâ¦â She tugged at Ye Sijueâs hand.
Ye Sijue swept a cold gaze at those people and said sternly, âWhoever continues to stare shall resign!â
