Xiao Ying asked again, “Is it someone I know?”
Cheng Yang smiled enigmatically and said, “You know her.”
Xiao Ying kept making guesses, but there were very few women that they mutually knew.
Suddenly thinking of someone, she asked in shock, “Don’t tell me you like Shen Meijia!”
Cheng Yang handed her a skewer of roasted meat with exasperation and scolded, “Don’t be ridiculous.”
Xiao Ying also felt that it was unlikely. But who could it be?
She thought of another possibility and gulped before saying, “Brother, you can’t be…”
There was shock in her eyes, and her voice had turned shrill.
Cheng Yang looked at her in surprise, not expecting her to actually guess correctly, and nodded.
Xiao Ying’s mouth fell open in an exaggerated fashion, and she even dropped the roasted meat in her hand.
Cheng Yang leaned closer to her and asked, “Scared?”
Xiao Ying shook her head blankly.
Cheng Yang continued to ask, “So what do you think?”
Xiao Ying’s head was in chaos, but she still expressed, “I’ll support whatever decision Brother makes.”
Cheng Yang hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly. His eyes lit up and he sat down on Xiao Ying’s side. He leaned close and asked again, “Are you really agreeing?”
Xiao Ying subtly moved to the side. Seeing Cheng Yang’s excitement, she couldn’t bear to be the one to pour a bucket of cold water on him. She patted his shoulder lovingly and said, “I know. It must have been hard for you two. I understand.”
Cheng Yang slowly realized that something was wrong, and he asked with a frown, “What do you mean?”
Xiao Ying said straightforwardly, “Although I didn’t expect this, I will give you and your assistant my blessings. I won’t object to your relationship.”
Cheng Yang’s face darkened as he looked at her coldly.
Seeing his expression, Xiao Ying asked weakly, ���Did I guess wrong?”
Cheng Yang gritted his teeth and said, “Wrong.”
Xiao Ying lowered her head in grievance and said, “You’re the one not telling me who the person is. All I could do was guess. How can you blame me for that?”
Cheng Yang let out an angry laugh and sat back down in his seat without saying a word.
This time, it was Xiao Ying’s turn to grill meat for Cheng Yang to kiss up to him. After being coaxed the entire dinner, Cheng Yang finally returned to normal.
Xiao Ying returned to the Cheng family’s residence. Cheng Yang did not allow her to stay in any of the apartments outside.
Xiao Ying didn’t really care, so she just agreed.
Over the past few days, she had been going back and forth between the school and the hospital. Until Qin Yue’s rehabilitation progress gradually improved and X-ray spots were becoming more widely used, Xiao Ying finally prepared to head to the University of Science and Technology in Lin City.
Xiao Ying, who had notified Cheng Yang the day before, was now dragging a small suitcase to the airport.
It was only after she boarded the plane did she find out why Cheng Yang had agreed so readily. She turned to look at the man beside her and said helplessly, “Brother, I’m already an adult. Do you seriously have to watch me so closely?”
Cheng Yang took off his sunglasses and said, “I’m going to Lin City to discuss business.”
Xiao Ying looked at him suspiciously. He was acting quite innocent.
Xiao Ying rolled her eyes and said, “You’re going to say that you happen to be staying in the same place as me and that we booked the same hotel, are you?”
Cheng Yang actually nodded.
Xiao Ying wailed, “Brother, you might as well let the bodyguards follow me around.”
Seeing his moved expression, Xiao Ying hurriedly said, “I was joking. If you actually do that, I’m going to be mad.”
Cheng Yang sighed regretfully.
Recently, Xiao Ying felt that Cheng Yang was very strange, but she couldn’t pinpoint where exactly.
She looked suspiciously at the man next to her, who was resting with his eyes closed. Unexpectedly, she was caught red-handed. Cheng Yang raised his eyebrows and said, “Why are you looking at me? Are you mesmerized by my handsomeness?”
Xiao Ying figured out what was strange. Cheng Yang seemed to be a little flirtatious recently.
She licked her lips and asked, “Brother, what happened between you and the woman you mentioned last time?”
