Upon hearing those words, Mu Shaoling felt an eerie chill blowing beside him, and when he looked up, he saw Ye Zi’an staring coldly at him.
Mu Shaoling twitched his mouth and snapped, "What’s with that look? Do you think I have such poor taste?"
However, once he finished saying that, the chill grew even colder. Without looking, he knew the source of it - Yang Chuxia.
He couldn’t help but shout at Luo Linhao, "You little brat, always spouting nonsense! I was discussing business and making money, understand?!"
"Pfft," Luo Linhao scorned him with a glance, "You’re just too scared to admit you like her. Look at me for example!"
With that, the kid went to pull Yang Xiayun, "Yunyun, come get this little frog I got for you!"
After that, he continued, "Yunyun, why aren’t you wearing the flowers I gave you yesterday?"
"Yunyun, let Brother Linhao take you out to have fun..."
Who knows what else he said, but he took Yang Xiayun and left. Before leaving, he disdainfully glanced at Mu Shaoling as if to say, you should learn from me.
In that moment, Mu Shaoling felt embarrassed and said with resentment, "This damn kid should just stay locked in his room. No, I’m going to send a message to Capital City, insisting that we must take this brat with us this time and let the Luo Family discipline him."
As he said this, he left with a slight sense of discomfort.
Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an exchanged glances, and Ye Zi’an lowered his head slightly.
Yang Chuxia wondered if he was a little unhappy. Brother An wouldn’t be that petty though, right? Besides, who could believe what that brat Linhao said?
So she contemplated for a moment, went inside to get a wooden bucket, put some food in it, and came out.
"Brother An, let’s go out!"
Ye Zi’an saw her taking the initiative to pull him along, and he was delighted, asking, "Where to?"
"To see the giant sea turtle!" Yang Chuxia replied, "I haven’t been there since that time. Plus, the New Year is almost here, so let’s catch some fish on the way. We can ask my mom to make fried fish for us when we get back."
"Oh," Ye Zi’an muttered, nodding his head lightly, and took the small bucket from Yang Chuxia’s hands.
As they walked, noticing that he wasn’t speaking, Yang Chuxia asked, "Are you feeling upset, Brother An?"
"Really, you’re not upset?" Yang Chuxia looked at him again, then reassured him, "Brother An, Linhao was just talking nonsense earlier!"
Ye Zi’an replied, pulling her hand gently, "I know he was just talking nonsense." Then he paused, adding, "But, it’s hard to say what Mu Shaoling is actually thinking."
He thought to himself, although Mu Shaoling seems emotionally expressive, if he wants to hide something, you wouldn’t be able to tell.
If it wasn’t for his keen observations, he might not have discerned anything. Mu Shaoling might not be that fond of Xiaxia, but he definitely treats her differently, and it’s not like he’s treating her as a sister. In any case, it’s a very contradictory state of mind.
Yang Chuxia blinked in surprise, "Him?" Then she shook her head, "He wouldn’t. I think he wants to consider me as a close friend."
"A close female friend?" Ye Zi’an’s tone got colder as he heard that.
Seeing his reaction, Yang Chuxia stopped walking and took a closer look at him, "Brother An, are you jealous?"
Ye Zi’an said nothing and turned his head away.
"Jealous? Really? Are you really jealous?"
Yang Chuxia poked him, "Aiyo, I don’t even like him, your jealousy is so unnecessary."
