Chapter 429: 020: Heartbreak_2
Actually, this was also her first time visiting his home, but the moment she walked inside, Yun Qi, who was usually gentle and elegant, furrowed his brows visibly unhappy. Although his tone was gentle, there was still a touch of indifference and aloofness, which made her feel somewhat unbalanced.
Ye Lingran stood there stunned, looking at Yun Qi in confusion.
Yun Qi caught her gaze and couldn’t help but laugh, reaching out to pull her hand: "Let me introduce you! This is my mom’s friend’s daughter, named Li Mo, 19 years old, she’s been studying abroad and just returned for the New Year. Momo, this is the fiancée I mentioned to you earlier, Ye Lingran, a wedding dress designer."
His introduction was detailed, and the way he held her hand was so familiar and natural that Li Mo had no choice but to believe their relationship was indeed as he and her parents described.
Ye Lingran glanced at their tightly clasped hands and smiled: "Hello."
Li Mo, reluctant, pursed her lips: "Hello." After speaking, she looked at Yun Qi: "I’m leaving for Switzerland today, my flight is at seven tonight. I originally thought I’d see you before I left. Since you now have a fiancée, I won’t hold on to you anymore or have any attachments. I haven’t packed my things yet, so I’ll be leaving first. Wishing you both happiness." After speaking, Li Mo pouted, turned to pick up the bag from the sofa, and before leaving, deliberately glanced at Ye Lingran.
Yun Qi escorted her to the black iron gate outside, smiled, and said: "Study well abroad."
"Okay, okay." Li Mo replied dispiritedly, her face full of unhappiness. She looked at Yun Qi, took a deep breath: "I know you’ve always treated me as a little sister, but I don’t regret liking you. I sincerely wish happiness for you and that lady. She seems pretty and intellectual, speaks gently, and should be a good choice."
"Hmm, thank you." Yun Qi replied with a gentle smile: "Safe travels."
After sending Li Mo off, Yun Qi returned indoors, finding Ye Lingran standing at the door looking at him, so he walked over: "Why are you outside?"
"Please give me my shoes!" Ye Lingran’s face showed no smile, appearing indifferent, but her tone didn’t differ from usual.
Yun Qi looked at her delicate, pretty face and sensed something, smiled and asked: "What’s wrong?"
"Nothing." Ye Lingran pursed her lips, silently avoided his gaze, feeling inexplicably stifled inside: "Aren’t you asking me to come over and get my shoes?"
"Hmm, it’s almost noon, what do you want to eat?" Yun Qi deliberately extended the tone, smiled and asked.
"No need, I just..." Ye Lingran followed him inside, her words unfinished, then Yun Qi suddenly stopped ahead, turned to look at her, nearly causing her to bump into him. She quickly stopped and fell silent, staring blankly at him: "Wha...what?"
Yun Qi smiled faintly, held her hand, gently pulled her into his embrace, his other hand smoothly wrapped around her slender waist. He lightly turned his body, letting her back rest against the white wall of the corridor. His warm gaze filled with deep emotion and tenderness viewed her from above, the corner of his lips slightly curved with a hint of teasing and mocking: "In the future, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask, don’t keep it in your heart. As long as you ask, I will respond honestly and seriously."
Ye Lingran’s heart skipped a beat, her breath halted, her pupils slightly enlarged, hands lightly raised against his chest, her red lips moved softly: "I... I don’t have anything... to ask."
"Hmm? Really?"
Ye Lingran was speechless, again avoiding his gaze. Yun Qi’s smile deepened a bit: "Lying isn’t suitable for you, besides... you don’t seem adept at it, ask me! I’ll answer."
"Really nothing to ask." Ye Lingran initially raised her voice to refute, but upon meeting his gaze, her tone immediately softened. She drooped down, purposely speaking with a natural and relaxed tone: "Just... feel like you have quite the luck with women, despite someone saying you have zero scandals." After saying this, Ye Lingran regretted a bit, her words sounded completely like a jealous, wronged ’little complainer’, making her blush and suddenly wanting to find a hole to crawl into.
Thinking back, it’s true she had never seen any tabloid news about him before, yet in these two short months of their ’dating’, she’d met two of his admirers one after another. One was the smart and capable elder daughter of the Ding family, Ding Jami, and now there’s a cute little girl Li Mo, what could she say?
