Chapter 190-1: Looking for another man
Lin Ruoxi didnât answer Mo Qianniâs question immediately.
After keeping silent for a while, Lin Ruoxi shook her head, âI donât know.â
âYou donât know?â
âThatâs right. That day when Auntie asked me, I thought about it for a long time, but I didnât know how to describe Yang Chen, so Iâll let Auntie see for herself.â
Many thoughts cropped up in Mo Qianniâs mind, âI guess so, actually, I donât know how to describe him either. Thatâs just how liking someone is like, you donât know what merits the person has, though you can pinpoint the faults the person has. However, you canât bring yourself to actually hate those faults, and always feel that if that person changed those faults, it would feel weird. But if that person doesnât change, he would make others feel anxious. Itâs all so vexing.â
Lin Ruoxi looked at Mo Qianni who was thinking deeply with a smile that wasnât a smile, âQianni, you seem to have very deep understanding of it.â
âAh?â Mo Qianni suddenly realized just who she was talking to regarding Yang Chen, and her face became so flushed like it could burst, âI⊠Iâm just casually mouthing off, Ruoxi you meanie, why are you looking at me like that! I⊠Iâm not the type who is hoes before bros! Besides, that fellow isnât that handsome, itâs better to leave him to you! Youâll have a horrible headache!â
With that said, Mo Qianni turned away and pretended to be concentrating on driving, and drove towards the company.
Lin Ruoxi turned towards the direction Yang Chen left, and softly sighed.
Yang Chenâs mood hadnât improved since he smoked while strolling alone, he still felt stifled.
Looking around, he unwittingly found himself in Zhonghaiâs famous shopping district. There were rows and rows of huge signboards and deafening music, all to attract customers go in to spend money at their stores and restaurants.
In the middle of the street was an area filled with green plants, and alongside them were dark red tables and chairs made of wood for pedestrians to rest at.
Yang Chen wasnât interested in buying anything, and planned to take a seat to arrange his thoughts. However, right as he was about to take a seat on a red stool, a petite and cute figure charged over!
âUncle!â
Wearing a yellow tank top, white jacket, and washed ripped jeans, this young lady looked like a delectable little doll. She leaped into Yang Chenâs embrace, and hooked her arms around Yang Chenâs neck. She was practically hanging on Yang Chenâs body!
Seeing the beautiful face that he hadnât seen for a while this closely, Yang Chen couldnât help but blink his eyes several times, he doubted his own eyesight, âTangtang?â
Tangtang nodded with the both emotions of anger and joy. Releasing her fair arms, she cutely drummed on Yang Chenâs chest with her little hands, âHow mean! Uncle youâre so heartless, you havenât called me out to play for so long! If I hadnât I bumped into you today, do you plan on never contacting me again in this lifetime!?â
âWhat are you talking about? Arenât you studying hard for your finals? I figured that youâre busy, so I didnât disturb you from your studies, itâs for your own good!â Said Yang Chen.
âExcuses!â Tangtang stuck her tongue out, âThose are just excuses. Do you hate me, hold me in contempt, and no longer consider me a friend!?â
Yang Chen forced a smile, this brat had begun spouting gibberish, âCan you not overthink things? I was just busy with my own matters, and knowing how strict your mother is with you, I didnât contact you. Besides, Iâm not all that great, on what basis could I hold you in contempt?â
âBut you canât stop meeting me for such a long time stillâŠâŠâ Tangtang resentfully spoke like a hurt little flower.
Yang Chen casually tossed away the cigarette butt, and counted with his fingers, âI donât think it has been that long? It hasnât even been a month.â
âA month isnât considered long!? Do you know just how many months there is in a year, and how many months a person can experience in a lifetime!? Even if a person lives till a hundred years old, thatâs just a mere thousand and two hundred months, what youâre doing has thoroughly hurt my fragile and youthful heartâŠâŠâ Tangtang angrily said.
âStop right there!â Yang Chen gestured her to stop with his hand, âIn the end, what I owed you in my previous life, I will never be able to pay back in full in this life. My dear boss, please bluntly tell me what you actually want.â
Yang Chen didnât even need to guess that this brat was thinking of a way to make him do what she wanted.
Tangtang laughed out loud, âUncle you truly understand me. Itâs nothing much, I just forgot to bring my wallet out today. Uncle, would you please treat me to a meal? Iâm really hungryâŠâŠâ
Yang Chen couldnât help but laugh and rubbed Tangtangâs head, âAfter beating around the bush so much, all you wanted was a free meal. Why not just say that from the start?â
âI actually really miss you, Uncle, but as a girl I have to be more reserved. I never expected that youâd be such an ungrateful and disloyal man that wouldnât even take the initiative to contact meâŠâŠâ Tangtang grudgingly said.
âAlright alright, I was ungrateful to whom? Letâs go eat, what do you want to eat? Just say it, I havenât had lunch either.â
Tangtang rubbed her chin and pondered, âLetâs have McDonalds then.â
âCan we have something else? Theyâre both burgers, but I think the local roujiamo is tastier.â Said Yang Chen.
[TL: Roujiamo is a type of burger from china, it typically uses steamed buns and pork, a popular street food https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roujiamo]
Tangtang stared at Yang Chen with an expression like she was looking at an alien, âIf you can find a place nearby that sells roujiamo, then we can have that.â
âLetâs just go to McDonalds thenâŠâŠâ
