Chapter 137: She Liked the Way He Smiled

“I like Brother…”

When the man who was washing the dishes heard her words, the action of washing dishes in his hand instantly froze.

He slowly turned his head and his gaze fell on Ye Qingran’s face.

Ye Qingran kept smiling at him as if she had not realized how shocking her words were.” “The way you smiled…I hope Brother will smile more in the future. Otherwise, it would be too much of a waste of your handsome face.”

Chu Yan:”…”

Why did he feel that he was being teased?

It was obvious that she had deliberately interrupted between her sentence to let him misunderstand.

The water from the dishwasher splashed on Ye Qingran’s face.

“AH.” Ye Qingran immediately covered her face with her hand.

She looked at Chu Yan angrily with her long and narrow eyes in shock.

Chu Yan’s gaze was still calm and composed. He looked at her calmly and said, “You’re always so playful. You’re not allowed to talk to others like that in the future.”

“OH.” Ye Qingran stretched out her hand and poured water on Chu Yan’s face.

Chu Yan’s handsome face was full of water droplets.

Ye Qingran stepped back with a mischievous smile on her face. “Aiya, I’m so tired. I’m going to shower and go to sleep.”

After saying that, she ran away.

Ye Qingran returned to her room and tidied up her luggage.

She took out all the gifts she had prepared for Chu Yan and placed them in his room.

Chu Yan returned to his bedroom and saw a table filled with gifts at a glance. His eyes were brighter as if they were sparkling with starlight.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. “What a child made me have a headache.”

Ye Qingran slept through the night until the afternoon of the next day. Chu Yan had left the house while his aunt was preparing lunch in the kitchen.

She recalled that tomorrow was the final exam and she had to make a trip to school today. She hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls before leaving the house.

She rushed to school.

It was the end of the semester, and those students who did not often come to school had appeared one after another. Therefore, when the students saw her, they did not show any signs of shock.

Zixia knew that she was going back to school today, so she specially waited for her at the school gate.

When she saw her, she immediately reached out her hand. “Where’s my present?”

“I was too rushed when I left, so I didn’t have time to take it. After the exam is over, I’ll treat you to a meal and give it to you.”

“Okay, then you have to treat me to milk tea. I saw a milk tea recently and it’s delicious.”

“Okay, deal. Order a cup for Ruoruo too.”

……

Hua Chi watched Ye Qingran and Zixia walk towards the classroom like a beautiful couple.

His heart was filled with jealousy.

He didn’t understand why Ye Qingran, that playboy, that despicable scum, would have so many girls fall in love with him.

Even their class belle, Zixia, liked him.

As for him…

After the incident of stealing the money, he could not help Qingxue and was even tricked by Ye Qingran. Qingxue seemed to be angry.

It was all Ye Qingran’s fault.

He did not understand why Ye Qingran could have so many girls who liked him. One girlfriend after another, but he could not get his girl to like him.

Hua Chi’s expression was gloomy.

He turned his head and saw Mu Qingxue walking out from another path.

After tidying up, Hua Chi immediately went up to her. “Qingxue.”

Mu Qingxue looked at him and smiled faintly. “Hua Chi, what’s wrong?”

Hua Chi said, “That Ye Qingran has returned. I was afraid that he would bully you again, so I waited for you here and sent you back to the classroom.”

Mu Qingxue’s face turned pale with panic.

When people saw her, they could not help but feel pity for her.

But then, she said firmly, “Thank you, but there’s no need of it. This is a school. No matter what that Ye Qingran is like, he still wouldn’t dare to mess around in school, unless he doesn’t want to go to university anymore.”

This made Hua Chi’s heart ache even more.

He clenched his fists and said, “I’ll protect you, Qingxue.”

Mu Qingxue smiled and thanked him again.

But after taking two steps, she turned around and faced Hua Chi. “Hua Chi, you’re too good to me. I don’t know how to repay you.”

Hua Chi tried to flatter her. “I don’t want your return. I just want you to be fine…”I just want you to be my girlfriend.

But damn it, she seemed to be with Dongfang Yu.

Dongfang Yu was relying on his family background only.

One day, he would let Qingxue know that the person who loved her the most in this world was him, Hua Chi.

“Then can you do me a favour?”

“No problem.”

Hua Chi answered without thinking.

Mu Qingxue smiled and whispered something into Hua Chi’s ear.

Hua Chi was shocked when he heard that, but he immediately suppressed it and nodded at Mu Qingxue.

“It’s time for class, I’ll go back to the classroom first.”

“Okay.”

Mu Qingxue smiled and waved goodbye to Hua Chi.

When she turned her back to Hua Chi, a stern look flashed across her eyes.

–

Lin Shu’er knew that Ye Qingran was back, so she drove straight to the school to pick her up.

On the way back, Lin Shu’er casually mentioned, “Something happened to the company recently. Your dad hasn’t been home for a few days.”

Ye Qingran asked, “What happened to the company?”

“The company we worked with previously had a funding problem recently, and it was subsequently acquired by another company. After the acquisition, there was a problem with the project. It seemed to be very serious, and the company’s stock has been falling for the past two days. Your dad was so anxious that his hair turned white.” Lin Shu’er frowned tightly.

“Oh,” Ye Qingran replied indifferently.

She thought of the plot of the original novel, and she thought of Mu Qingxue and Long Junyao.

She wondered if Long Junyao was the person behind this crisis again.

“I don’t know anything about the company. I can’t help at all,” Lin Shu’er said worriedly.

When Ye Qingran heard Lin Shu’er talking about the acquisition of the company, she roughly understood what was going on.

She had seen this kind of tactic many times in the business field.

“Using a company to drag the Ye group into the problem, is equivalent to having one foot in the mud. At this time, if there is even the slightest problem with the Ye group, the entire Ye group will sink into the mud.”

Lin Shu’er did not understand and was confused. “What do you mean?”

Ye Qingran did not explain to her and asked, “Oh right, where is my elder brother?”

Lin Shu’er replied, “Your brother went to West Asia. Something happened to a project there as well. It’s a troublesome time. I don’t know what’s going on recently. From what you said just now, I feel that someone is deliberately messing with the Ye group and stabbing them in the back.”

It was just someone messing with the Ye group.

Every move of the Ye group was probably being monitored.

No matter how powerful the company was, no matter how many friends they had in the business world, as long as something happened to this company, there would be plenty of people who wanted to take advantage of the situation. As long as something happened to the Ye group, there would be plenty of people who wanted to add insult to their injury.

Ye Qingran’s eyes darkened slightly.

She was still thinking of after she took a trip and came back, perhaps she and the female lead had become two parallel lines and would never cross their paths again.

Obviously, what was going to happen, would still happen…
