C198 (1/2)

”Uncle Lei, Brother Zichen, I …” I've cut it. ” Arlene said, looking a bit embarrassed as she held the fruit in her hand.

”Alright, put it down.” Lei Haotian waved his hand.

”Oh, okay.” Irene nervously put away the freshly cut fruit.

”Irene, did you cut this?” Lei Zichen asked incredulously as he looked over at the mango on the fruit plate.

”Yes …” Yeah, I know, I cut it... It wasn't very good, but I … I've never had a knife. ” Arlene shouted with her eyes closed.

”Ugh …” ”I'm fine.” Hearing Irene's shout, Lei Zichen felt a bit more at ease. After all, it was good enough for a young lady who had never held a fruit knife to cut a mango into such a state.

Looking at the various irregular shapes on the plate, and then looking at Irene who had an anxious expression on her face, Lei Haotian smiled, ”Forget it, forget it. I cut it into pieces for eating.” Lei Haotian said as he picked up a mango and placed it in his mouth.

”Yeah, that's right.” Seeing that someone was encouraging her, Irene became more and more encouraged, nodding her head vigorously as she spoke.

After a short interlude, the three of them were able to return to their previous harmony, happily chatting with each other.

As they chatted, it was already late …

”Irene, it's getting late. Why don't I send you home?” Lei Zichen looked at Irene's face and said with a smile.

”Oh, so it's like that.” Irene said with obvious reluctance.

”Alright, it's too late to go back. Your father will be worried.” Lei Zichen calmly said. This surprised Lei Haotian; he had never seen his son treat Irene like this before.

”Oh, alright then.” Elin pouted and put on her coat before following Lei Zichen to the door.

Uncle Ley, I'll go home first. Irene said to Lei Haotian.

”Alright, alright. Come back when you're free.” Lei Haotian smiled as he looked at Irene and said.

”Dad, I'll send her off first. I'll be back in a while.” Lei Zichen bid Lei Haotian farewell, turned around and left with Irene.

”Brother Zichen, did I do something wrong today?” Sitting on the first passenger seat, Irene nervously asked.

”I'm fine.” Lei Zichen raised his eyebrows and said.

”Actually, I didn't mean to.” Remembering her slip of the tongue, Irene felt extremely regretful.

”I know. Forget it, it's already over. Why did you bring it up?” Lei Zichen frowned, as if he didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Since he had already made up his mind to go with her, then no matter what, he would have to bear the consequences himself. Therefore, he didn't want to say it, plus there was nothing much to say.

”Oh, alright then.” Irene lowered her head, no longer saying anything. She just sat there obediently.

Along the way, a neon light flashed. It was an ordinary night in Yan City. Compared to the quiet and secluded city, this place was way too noisy.

Why does S City keep thinking about S City? Why does Lei Zichen hate the person in my heart?

The brightly lit street turned a few corners and then passed through the main entrance of Ellen's house.

”Home, Irene.” Lei Zichen stopped the car and asked softly. He reminded himself to try his best to treat this woman in front of him with his most gentle side.

”Mhmm, Brother Zichen, then I'll be going home first. Remember to make a call.” Eileen got out of the car as she took off her seat belt.

Lei Zichen turned on the headlights, illuminating the road that Irene had taken to the road ahead. He waited until Irene had entered his house before he left.

He could not help but smile wryly in his heart. Perhaps, he really did not know what love was. He only knew that something was moving away from his body.

”Ring, ring, ring …” Not long after the car left the house, Lei Zichen's phone rang like a ghost.

”Hello, who is this?” Lei Zichen asked softly as he drove and pressed his earphones.

”Lei Dong …” Yes... It's me. ” On the other end of the phone was a timid female voice. It was Qi Xue'er.

”Oh, Xue'er, what's wrong?” Lei Zichen asked as he drove, not feeling the slightest bit of heat.

”It's nothing, you just didn't look for me when we filmed from S City, I …” Have I done something wrong? ” Qi Xue'er asked, feeling wronged.
