Leng Xiao knew that Ye Qingran was waiting for Chu Yan. He deliberately said, âHe probably wonât come to pick you if something comes up. Isnât it the same if I send you?â
Ye Qingran said, âItâs too different. Moreover, if itâs him, Iâm willing to wait.â
Leng Xiaoâs face darkened and he did not say anything.
Ye Qingran tilted her head slightly and looked at him. She said frankly, âI feel that you donât like me at all. Itâs probably because I changed from a man to a woman. You have some strange thoughts in your heart and you think that you like me.â
Leng Xiao said, âYou donât have to accept me, but donât doubt my heart. As for whether I like you or not, Iâve thought about it again and again. Itâs not because I know that youâre a girl that I like you.â
He had liked her a long time ago, but he had thought that she was a man and did not want to continue.
Ye Qingranâs original intention was to hope that Leng Xiao would give up.
But it seemed that he had made up his mind.
It was probably impossible to make him give up using words.
At this moment, the glass door of the restaurant was pushed open and a tall and handsome man walked in.
Ye Qingran was a distance away from the restaurant entrance. She did not see the man who came in until the sound of the manâs footsteps was heard clearly.
She followed the sound and saw Chu Yan in a black suit.
Ye Qingran immediately smiled and waved at Chu Yan.
Chu Yan also saw Leng Xiao, who was sitting next to her. His cold eyes suddenly turned as cold as a lake and he narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Leng Xiao naturally saw Chu Yan as well. He leaned back on the chair and looked like he was ready to face the enemy.
However, he saw Ye Qingran put down her chopsticks and stood up immediately. âBrother, youâre here.â
Chu Yan reached out his hand and rubbed her little head lovingly. He then put his hand on her shoulder and said, âOkay, letâs go.â
Leng Xiaoâs gaze tensed up when he saw his action.
He suppressed the displeasure in his heart and greeted with a smile, âWe meet again, Mr. Chu.â
Chu Yan looked at him indifferently and nodded perfunctorily as a response. Then, he ignored him and walked away with Ye Qingran in his arms.
Leng Xiao clenched his fists but did not follow him.
The worldâs most arrogant and haughty Leng Xiao felt discouraged.
On the other side, Murong Yichen also saw it. He walked over and asked, âWho is that man?â
Leng Xiao replied coldly, âChu Yan.â
Murong Yichen said in surprise, âHe is Chu Yan. He looks familiar, I seem to have seen him somewhere before.â
Leng Xiao looked at him. âWhere have you seen him before?â
Murong Yichen said, âI have to think about it.â
Leng Xiao:ââ¦â
â¦
On the other side, Ye Qingran followed Chu Yan out of the restaurant.
Sitting in the car, she smiled and apologized to Chu Yan, âBrother, thank you for today. This Leng Xiao is too difficult to deal with.â
The manâs aura was a little cold. He looked at Ye Qingran indifferently, his eyes clearly devoid of warmth. âSince you find him annoying, why did you come out to eat with him?â
Ye Qingran said, âWho went out to eat with him? I went out to eat with my mother and coincidentally bumped into Leng Xiao and Murong Yichen. My mother quickly finished her meal and went to deliver food to my father, leaving me alone. The two of them insisted on coming over to be friends.â
When Chu Yan heard this, his expression instantly softened.
The faint coldness also melted in an instant.
He hummed softly. âIs that so?â
Ye Qingran leaned forward and stared at him. âOtherwise, what do you think it would be? Leng Xiao sends me messages every day and always asks me out for a meal. I havenât even agreed to it once. Looks like I have to agree to it next time.â
Chu Yanâs tone suddenly became overbearing and tyrannical. âYouâre not allowed!â
Ye Qingran said, âWhy not?â
Chu Yan said, âBecause you said that you wanted to pursue me.â
Ye Qingran was stunned and her eyes suddenly widened. She was especially surprised. âWhat? I said, I⦠I want to pursue you?â
Unlike her little self-shocked expression, Chu Yan was still very calm.
He snorted softly. âWhy are you so surprised? Donât tell me that you donât even remember what you said.â
Ye Qingran gulped and said slowly, âWhen I was drunk last time, you lied to me and said that I pressed you against the wall and forced a kiss on you.â
The corner of Chu Yanâs mouth curled. âUnfortunately, you forgot. I donât know if you still remember this time.â
âThis, thatâ¦â The tip of Ye Qingranâs ears were red.
The memory of the forced kiss was very clear.
She did not even need to think about it. This image would always appear automatically in her mind from time to time.
She pursed her lips. âI really said⦠that I want to, want to pursue you.â
Chu Yan nodded.
Ye Qingran said, âThen you agreed to let me pursue you.â
Chu Yan spoke very slowly, enunciating each word clearly. âYou didnât give me the right to refuse. You said that I couldnât refuse because the person who wanted to pursue me was you and not me.â
Ye Qingran:ââ¦â
Chu Yan must be lying to her. He must be lying to her.
It was the same last time, she felt that Chu Yan would not lie to her. She felt that Chu Yan was an aloof and reserved person who would not joke with her.
In the end, he had been lying very calmly.
Ye Qingran thought about it and shook her head. âI donât believe you. You must be lying to me.â
Chu Yan placed his slender fingers on the steering wheel and turned to look at Ye Qingran. âIf you donât believe me, then forget it. If you donât want to pursue me, then Iâll do it.â
Ye Qingran looked at Chu Yan in astonishment.
What did she just hear? Did Chu Yan mean that he was pursuing her?
Chu Yan looked at her lovingly and continued, âAnd I wonât copy you. Iâll pursue you properly.â
Her heartbeat quickened and she held her breath. âYou really want to pursue me?â
Chu Yan grunted. âYou donât want to pursue me. Then I can only pursue you instead.â
An indescribable ambiguous atmosphere slowly rose in the car.
Ye Qingran licked her lips. âThen, will you suddenly stop pursuing me one day?â
Chu Yan chuckled and asked happily, âWhat do you think?â
Ye Qingran felt her cheeks burning. She was afraid that they were already as red as blood. She muttered, âHow would I know? Erm, you should start driving first. Leave first.â
Chu Yan did not start the car.
He reached out and rubbed her head before pressing on his chest. âI really donât know if I should call you a coward. After all, you dare to do it, but you donât dare to say it.â
Ye Qingranâs heart skipped a beat. She felt his gentle aura, as if it was going to melt her.
She couldnât take it. She couldnât take it. With such a beauty in front of her, a heavenly dish was in her bosom.
It was really the greatest test in the world.
However, if he said that she wouldnât pursue him, so he would pursue her. Did that mean that he was the same as her.
After all, if he didnât like her, who would pursue her.
Ye Qingran took a shallow breath. She was afraid that she was too serious and there was no turning back. She deliberately asked in a joking tone, âChu Yan, are you confessing and saying that you like me?â
