Chapter 1108: Who Do You Like?
Translator: Yunyi
The cute mixed-race girl cupped her face and asked quietly in English, “Do you like Mr. Zhong Li?”
Swoosh—
Zhongli Xue’s extremely cold gaze fell on Lily. If one looked carefully, one would be able to see a hint of killing intent in her eyes.
It was hard to tell whether Lily was crazy or her acting skills were too good; she was still smiling sweetly. From an outsider’s point of view, it simply looked like they were sharing a private conversation.
“Don’t be suspicious. It’s just that I ate too much last night and accidentally saw something when I decided to go for a walk… Something quite shocking…”
“What are you trying to say?” Zhongli Xue’s heart was relieved as she asked coldly.
She was just an actress who was signed by Zhongli Xue’s family’s overseas company. There was nothing for her to be wary of.
She was not afraid of anything. What she was most afraid of was that her brother would hate her because of this.
For her brother, she would do anything and be willing to do anything.
Lily blinked her eyes innocently. “Oh? I’m not trying to say anything.”
She took a sip of tea with a smile and squinted her eyes comfortably. Unintentionally, she said, “I just feel that Miss Zhongli seems to treat me as an imaginary enemy. I was just joking yesterday. I don’t like Mr. Zhong Li’s type.”
In Zhongli Xue’s eyes, Zhong Li was the best. She couldn’t bear to see anyone slander him.
Even though in her heart, Lily’s behavior yesterday had indeed caused her to feel disgusted.
“Do you think my brother will take a fancy to you?” she sneered.
Lily shrugged. “Haven’t you noticed?” she asked curiously, “Mr. Zhong Li treats me like a subordinate, but he treats Miss Song a little differently.”
“What do you mean?!” A thought passed through Zhongli Xue’s mind, but it was so fast that it disappeared before she could catch hold of it.
“Huh? I didn’t say anything…”
Lily shook her head in confusion.
Zhongli Xue looked at her idiotic look, and a hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes. She pursed her lips and said coldly, “The first sentence.”
“The first sentence was… Mr. Zhong Lixue treats me—”
“Not that one!”
“…he treats Miss Song a little differently?”
Finally, the thought that flashed through her mind was caught by Zhongli Xue. She seemed to have lost all her strength and sat in the chair.
…
Song Yaoyao wasn’t hiding from anyone. Zhong Li wasn’t enough to scare her. Her original plan was to leave today. There weren’t any scenic spots nearby. Other than a mountain that was worth seeing, there wasn’t much to see.
However, it was a good place for a vacation. Sitting under the eaves and drinking hot tea every day while listening to the rain was also a way to cultivate one’s body and mind.
After leaving this place, she brought Huo Tian and Tang Xinrou to the ancient city and strolled around.
In the end, it was Xu Yue who personally came over and dragged the three of them back.
To be precise, she was here to drag Tang Xinrou back. Since Song Yaoyao was going back anyway, she brought Huo Tian along and boarded the plane.
Xu Yue was extremely angry on the plane. “Missy, I beg of you! It’s one thing for you to go out and play without saying a word, but why didn’t you pick up the phone?”
Tang Xinrou hung her head and shook off the blame guiltily. “Ahem… it was Yaoyao who brought me there!”
“She’s a boss! Are you? Huh? Are you?!”
“Pfff…” Huo Tian pulled the blanket over her head as her shoulders trembled slightly.
Meanwhile, Song Yaoyao had her head lowered as she calmly read her book.
Tang Xinrou said in all seriousness, “So, I can’t disobey the boss’s orders. The Boss wanted to take me out to play. Can I refuse?”
“Ha.”
Xu Yue replied with a sneer, “You’re finished.”
She took out a stack of documents from her bag and threw them into Tang Xinrou’s arms. “Let me remind you, all of your holidays for the second half of the year have been used up. These are your notices for the second half of the year, take a good look.”
“S-so many!”
Tang Xinrou’s vision darkened. The things in her hands instantly became as heavy as gold.
After getting off the plane, Xu Yue took Tang Xinrou to the beauty salon for a full-body treatment while Song Yaoyao brought Huo Tian home.
“Miss Song is back?”
When Uncle Zhang saw Song Yaoyao, his old face bloomed. He greeted her affectionately and helped her with the bag in her hand.
Huo Tian rolled her eyes and put her hands in her pockets.
She was already used to it. With Song Yaoyao around, she was like an invisible person.
“You’re back, Uncle Zhang. I brought you a present. I’ll give it to you later.”
Song Yaoyao giggled and acted coquettishly. “Oh right, is Gege around?”
“Yes, he’s in the greenhouse.”
“Then I’ll go look for him. See you later, Uncle Zhang!”
Song Yaoyao turned around and ran away, quickly disappearing without a trace.
Uncle Zhang smiled and averted his gaze. Only then did he say, “Eh, Miss, you’re back too.”
Huo Tian felt as if her heart had been pierced with thousands of holes. She said speechlessly, “Uncle Zhang, I’ve been here the entire time.”
But she was like an invisible person, completely ignored. What could she do?
“Ahem.” Uncle Zhang said cheerfully, “I really didn’t notice.”
Huo Tian: “…”
Ha.
This old man was great.
Before Song Yaoyao got on the plane, the city was still cloudy. After getting off the plane, Feng City was clear and sunny.
Meanwhile, in the greenhouse, it was spring all year round and the potted plants on the shelves were lush and fragrant.
Song Yaoyao hunched her shoulders and sneaked in. From afar, she saw a figure sleeping on a recliner with a thin blanket on his knees. He seemed to be asleep.
She slowed down her footsteps, held her breath, and sneaked over.
The man’s black hair hung in front of his forehead. His eyes were closed, and the prayer beads wrapped around his wrist were still the same color. A foreign language book was covering his abdomen. There was a slight breeze in the greenhouse, and there were green willows wrapped around the trestle above. The light above his head passed through the green leaves and reflected on his clear face, flickering.
In an instant, it was as if she had been hit in the heart by Cupid’s arrow.
Her heart started racing.
Song Yaoyao crouched beside him and gently played with his eyelashes.
Huo Yunque’s eyelashes were something that would make many girls jealous. They were long and thin, like the wings of an insect on his eyelids. All the gentle words in the world seemed to be able to be interpreted by him.
Suddenly, her wrist was grabbed and pulled gently forward. Song Yaoyao was caught off guard and fell into Huo Yunque’s arms.
After a few seconds of confusion, Song Yaoyao finally raised her head and poked Huo Yunque’s chest. “When did you wake up?” Or was he awake all along?
“Hmmm.”
Huo Yunque’s phoenix-like eyes closed slightly. He held Song Yaoyao in his arms, and his tone slowly sounded a little lazy and tired. “When a certain child peeked at me.”
“Huh?”
Song Yaoyao pouted and her heart skipped a beat. She mumbled, “I wasn’t peeking at you!”
“Really?” Huo Yunque chuckled and raised his eyes. “But what if I felt it? Your eyes were so hot that I felt like you were going to eat me up in my dreams.”
