“Hey, I didn’t do anything bad to you, right?” Chu Ling said with his trademark smile.
He Wanyi glanced at Chu Ling and tried to contain her inner anger. She then snorted and continued to walk ahead. Chu Ling hastened to catch up with her. “Miss He, you did lose that bet, right? Today…”
“Smack…” He Wanyi slapped him.
Chu Ling slightly tilted his head aside and the smile on his face immediately disappeared. He narrowed his eyes and looked at He Wanyi only to find her eyes turn red and a drop of tear flowed down her face. Chu Ling frowned and took a step forward, wondering whether he overdid it.
As Chu Ling took a step forward, He Wanyi withdrew a step. She wiped her tears off and stared at Chu Ling, saying coldly, “Chu Ling, this is for you fooling me. And I’ve fulfilled my promise. I hope we don’t meet again.”
“Why are you angry?” Chu Ling’s voice rang out behind He Wanyi.
He Wanyi stopped her footsteps, looked back at Chu Ling and sneered. “Mr. Chu, you have surprised me again. Will you just joke it off after you are fooled? Oh, you’re really broad-minded!”
“I will be angry, but I won’t cry. Have you never been fooled before?” Chu Ling stood in her way. “I didn’t think you were so fragile.”
“Because she feels aggrieved.” A deep voice suddenly spoke out. He Wanyi was stunned when she heard the voice.
Chu Ling looked at the man walking up to him and frowned. “Aggrieved?”
Tears began to run out of He Wanyi’s eyes again. She turned her head aside so as not to look at that man. The latter looked at her, frowned and pulled her behind him. “Mr. Chu, it’s despicable to make use of an innocent woman. It’s shameless to make a girl cry. You are despicable and shameless.”
“Do I know you?” Chu Ling narrowed his eyes and suddenly felt this man looked familiar. Then he asked, “Are you Xiao Yao? That lieutenant colonel?”
Xiao Yao took a look at him and turned up the corners of his mouth. “I just met your father. He is looking for you. I…”
Chu Ling raised his hand to interrupt him, saying solemnly, “Okay, I admit that I was being thoughtless and didn’t consider Miss He’s feelings. My bad. I apologize to Miss He. I just wonder why Miss He was so mad at me that she even cried?”
He Wanyi looked up at Xiao Yao and then at Chu Ling. “Your behavior reminds me of something that I try to forget. It has nothing to do with you.”
She was so agitated because his behavior touched her sour spot. She thought that it was her fault that she was used by Chu Ling, because even the man she loved ignored her, so other men wouldn’t take her seriously as well! So she was feeling hateful and angry at herself…
Xiao Yao took a look at He Wanyi who hurriedly lowered her head, dodging his gaze. Xiao Yao raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Ling. “You can leave now, Mr. Chu.”
If it weren’t for his sister, he would have thrown this guy to his father.
Chu Ling pursed his lips, took a look at He Wanyi and turned to leave.
Xiao Yao turned around and looked at He Wanyi. She was still wiping her tears silently. Xiao Yao just gazed at her quietly. He didn’t hand her a tissue or wipe tears for her. When she finally stopped crying, he asked, “Are you hungry?”
He Wanyi looked at Xiao Yao in surprise. Seeing her red eyes, Xiao Yao regretted it a bit that he didn’t bring any tissues with him, but this thought soon flitted away.
He looked at He Wanyi and said, “I heard your conversation in that restaurant. I was a bit worried about you when I saw you run out.”
“When did you come to Paris?” He Wanyi asked.
Xiao Yao raised his eyebrows. “I have something to tend to this morning.” He didn’t say much about his job.
He Wanyi smiled. “It’s embarrassing to let you see me in such an awkward situation.”
“You’re not to blame.” Xiao Yao looked at her. “Let’s find a restaurant and grab some food.”
He Wanyi nodded and none of them spoke on the way. He Wanyi didn’t want to waste the chance and tried to find a topic. “Rourou’s fashion show is very successful.”
“Yes, I heard about it.” Xiao Jing said. As soon as the fashion show finished, Xiao Jing had sent him and Xiao Sa many videos and told them that the show was such a hit. After seeing the videos about Xiao Rou’s performance. Xiao Sa kept saying he should have gone to Paris with them, and Rourou also called them to tell them about the fashion show later.
When he thought of her joyous voice, the smile on his face spread.
He Wanyi fell into silence when she saw him smile, but then she pretended that nothing had happened and said with a smile, “Rourou was really happy last night.”
Xiao Yao grunted in response, suddenly stopped his steps and looked back at her. He Wanyi didn’t know why he looked at her like this, so she gave him a questioning look. Xiao Yao gazed at her, asking. “How about you? Rourou was happy, but what about you?”
He Wanyi blinked. Xiao Yao looked at her. “In fact, you don’t have to work to find a topic when you’re with me. If you don’t know what to say, you can just keep silent. I don’t want you…” Xiao Yao paused and shook his head with a smile. “Forget it. You can do whatever you’d like.” Then he continued to walk ahead.
He Wanyi looked at his back, pursed her lips and clenched her hands. She asked herself in her heart, “He Wanyi, why do the brave, proud you become so weak and useless in front of Xiao Yao? Why do you turn yourself into a turtle and retreat into your shell?”
Seeing He Wanyi still standing still, Xiao Yao stopped, looked back at He Wanyi and then at his watch. “I only have an hour. Do you mind having dinner with me?”
He Wanyi paused and then ran up to him, nodding hard. “Okay.”
Xiao Yao smiled and He Wanyi suddenly said, “Let’s talk about some other topics.”
Xiao Yao paused, looked at her and smiled. “As you wish.”
He Wanyi smiled. “Are you available tonight?”
