Chapter 42 - Warning (1/2)

“I just saw you celebrating with manager Yu on her birthday. I’m curious to know how you came over in the blink of an eye. Could it be that you can teleport?”

He Yi stared at Yi Liangze and couldn’t hide the surprise in her eyes.

Yi Liangze was stunned when he heard what He Yi said. “Just now?” However, he understood her question when he saw the photo on her phone’s WeChat. He explained, “Today is manager Yu’s birthday. Baby and I accompanied her for a meal.” He paused, then, he added, “She doesn’t have any other relatives in Yun City!”

He Yi quickly grasped the main point of his words. “Relatives? You and Baby are her relatives?”

“Ahem.” Yi Liangze covered his lips and coughed lightly. He was more or less embarrassed. In fact, women would look more adorable if they pretended to be stupid at the right time.

“Sister He, I fixed hot milk for you.” Ji Xueshan first gave Yi Liangze a cup of barley tea. Then, she walked up to He Yi and put down the milk. At the same time, she whispered to her, “Be gentle.”

How could a man like Yi Liangze not be surrounded by women? They all tried their best to keep him. At this time, it was not wise for He Yi to be so cold.

He Yi shrugged and did not comment.

After Ji Xueshan left, Yi Liangze put down the barley tea, he continued to explain patiently to her, “Sister Yu is my… big brother’s girlfriend. After big brother went missing, she still insisted on staying in Yun City and has been waiting for him for ten years…”

At this point, he couldn’t help but take out his cigarette. Just as he was about to light it, he saw a faint look of disgust in He Yi’s eyes. He remembered that she seemed to hate the smell of cigarettes, so he stopped lighting his cigarette. “Do You Mind?”

He Yi shook her head and sneered in her heart. If he cared whether she minded, there was no need to ask! “I don’t mind, go ahead.”

However, Yi Liangze saw the coldness in her eyes. He only slowly played with the cigarette between his fingers and did not light it. “In front of me, you don’t need to speak insincerely.”

“Well,” He Yi looked at him, but she still could not bear it. “Are you sure that the person she is waiting for is your big Brother?”

“…” This time, it was Yi Liangze’s turn to be silent. He stared at her and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He Yi realized that she was being a little petty, but the words that came out of her mouth were like spilled water. She couldn’t take them back. ‘Actually, what right did she have to ask him this? Whether Yu Shujun was waiting for his big brother, Yi Jiahao, or Yi Liangze, it had nothing to do with her!’

However, when she saw the warm and happy scene of him, Baby, and Yu Shujun together, her heart was pricked.

He Yi’s lips curved up slightly, and her tone was slightly self-deprecating. “I’m too serious. I believe whatever others say. You told me not to speak insincerely, but some words inevitably make people uncomfortable. Who Manager Yu is waiting for has nothing to do with me. It’s my fault for being meddlesome!”

The last sentence could barely be considered an apology to Yi Liangze.

However, her self-mockery did not make the man smile. On the contrary, his charming face was gradually covered with a layer of ice, as if it was hissing and emitting cold air.

He Yi’s words made him angry. At least, it was unknown which words, in particular, made him angry.

Yi Liangze got up gloomily, picked up the car keys, and walked away.

“Bang!” The door closed loudly, indicating the man’s suppressed anger.

He Yi sat still in her original spot, not moving at all. The sarcasm in her clear eyes only deepened.

Very soon, Ji Xueshan ran in in a panic and asked, “What’s wrong? What’s Wrong?”

“Nothing,” He Yi said plainly. “I was just confused about a woman. Young master’s temper flared up!”
