Chapter 46 Guilty, Gratitude and Love (1/2)
The car slowly stopped and a man elegantly got out of the car. He was in white casual wear that looked like a prince, but his face was over handsome.
”Why are you looking at me? Don't tell me that you can't recognize me if I am glasses-free. Or... you have forgotten who I am?”
Le Yi smiled, but A Miao's mouth twisted.
”Hello, Doctor Le,” she said, respectfully.
Her alienated face made Le Yi frown. He asked, ”Don't you welcome me?”
”What are you talking about?” A Miao also laughed. ”This is not my home. You should be more familiar than me!”
Seeing that she was so courteous, Le Yi turned around helplessly and said to Shen I, ”I will stay here for a few days and I just talked to Shen on the phone. He agreed.”
”Understood. I will clean up a room for you right away.” Shen I hurried to run away.
Seeing that Zhou Xiao had been staring at Le Yi, A Miao pushed her. ”What are you looking at?”
”Nothing...” Zhou Xiao grabbed her hand and asked, ”Is this your friend?”
A Miao was surprised when she found Zhou Xiao was blushed, even though it was not obvious. They had known each other for so many years and A Miao was sure that Zhou Xiao became shy.
”He is Shen Xinglan's friend.” A Miao looked at Le Yi unhappily. Then she dragged Zhou Xiao back to the house and said, ”It's late. You should go and get your bag. I will send you home.”
Zhou Xiao was dragged upstairs, but when she entered the room, she threw away A Miao's hand and shouted, ”What are you doing? Do you think that I've embarrassed you?”
”What are you talking about?” A Miao felt that Zhou Xiao sounded so unreasonable.
”You know what I am saying.” Zhou Xiao huffed and sat down. ”Why don't you introduce your friend to me? How handsome that man is! What does he do?”
A Miao found her both funny and annoying because her attention shifted so quickly.
”He is a doctor.” She took out Zhou Xiao's bag and stuffed it with some clothes that she never wore.
Zhou Xiao was still angry and asked, ”Why don't you introduce him to me? You said that he is a doctor? Why don't you ask him to see my mother and examine her legs? You must be despising us.”
... A Miao put down the clothes in her hand and stared at Zhou Xiao.
Zhou Xiao was scared. ”You... why are you looking at me?”
”Xiaoxiao, you must listen carefully, because I'll only say it once. I won't say it again in the future.” A Miao said seriously. Zhou Xiao's words and behaviors had deeply hurt her in the past two days.
However, she could not lose her temper, and she could not scold Zhou Xiao. She suddenly realized that if she let things develop at its own pace, she was hurting Zhou Xiao instead of protecting her.
”You don't know the relationship between me and Shen Xinglan. Because of his privacy, I can't tell you the details.”
Seeing Zhou Xiao pouting again, A Miao ignored her and said, ”So, I am still me and I am neither a rich person nor a young mistress.”
”You're still lying to me!” Zhou Xiao clutched her ears. ”You just feel that you have money and don't need my mother and me anymore.”
”You……”
A Miao, who was going to talk to her in peace, had a stomachache of anger.
”Forget it, I will send you back.”
Zhou Xiao grabbed her bag and ran downstairs without looking back.
”Xiaoxiao!” A Miao hurriedly ran after her.
In the hall, Le Yi was talking on the phone when he saw them running down. He hung up the phone after saying something with a smile.
”What happened?” He looked at Zhou Xiao, who was running toward him.
Zhou Xiao's grievances were melted in Le Yi's gentle smile. She said shyly, ”No... Nothing...”
Le Yi raised his eyebrow. ”You are A Miao's friend, aren't you?”
”Yes... I am...” Zhou Xiao stuttered and looked up. ”Hello, I heard that you are a friend of Shen Xinglan.”
”Yes, I am.” Le Yi nodded and looked at Zhou Xiao. Then he pursed his lips.
A Miao held her forehead and walked between the two of them. She said, ”Are you tired, Doctor Le? Go back and have a rest in your room!”
”...” Le Yi shrugged. ”Well, then I won't bother you.”
Seeing Le Yi leave, Zhou Xiao immediately screamed at A Miao, ”I haven't known his name yet!”
”He is Le Yi.” Seeing Shen I enter the room from nowhere, A Miao hurriedly said, ”Shen I, please drive us home!”
Shen I nodded and ran out. Zhou Xiao bit her lip and began to feel regret.
If she didn't lose her temper, she could persuade A Miao to allow her to stay for another day. Then she could get to know the doctor named Le Yi.
”A Miao!”
A Miao looked at her strangely, ”What's wrong?”
”Hey, don't be angry with me. I just joked!” Zhou Xiao smiled and approached her. ”Can I go home tomorrow since I am going to school on Monday?”
”But Auntie Song asked you to go back today.” A Miao frowned. ”If you don't go back, she will be worried.”
Zhou Xiao rolled her eyes and said, ”Well, then... Can I come here next weekend?”
”I won't let you come.”
”You don't like me to come?” Seeing that A Miao didn't say anything, Zhou Xiao felt unhappy and asked, ”Don't you want me to come?”
A Miao was too tired to argue with her, so she nodded. ”You can come if you like.”
”Okay, then. You don't have to send me. I can go back on my own.” Zhou Xiao waved her hand.
