C278 – I Was Afraid of Being Left
“Really? Well, if that’s the case, then it’s a relief.”
Ann Yichen remained composed, exhaling smoke without displaying any signs of happiness.
It wasn’t that he doubted it, but Loong Xiaoyi had already left him bewildered, and he was no longer the sa high school student.
“Why the self-doubt? Can’t you muster so confidence for yourself?”
“I wish I could!”
But there was no choice. After all, he was a man. Loong Xiaoyi must have reached a breaking point in their clandestine relationship!
“Okay then, I’ll take off. We’ll catch up for more drinks when I’m free. Don’t leave just yet!”
Ann Yichen drained his glass, then departed without a backward glance, vanishing from the dimly lit dance floor. His sudden departure likely stemd from a fear that Nong Mobai might say sothing to stir unnecessary emotions.
“It always cos back to this!” Every ti Loong Xiaoyi is ntioned, it all falls apart,” Nong Mobai sighed, watching Ann Yichen’s departure.
Mu Sizheng said nothing, simply rising and pulling Nong Mobai along.
“What’s gotten into you?” Nong Mobai nearly stumbled, struggling to keep up.
“Obviously, I intend to return and start a family. You’re eager to marry sooner, aren’t you?”
“Huh?” Are you deaf? I never—
“Enough talk, just follow .”
Ye Zichen interrupted Nong Mobai and swiftly led him away.
Nong Mobai seethed with anger. Damn it, you told to return imdiately, yet now you’re talking about marriage and expecting to comply. Do you think I have no rights, Mu Sizheng?!
“Let go.”
Mu Sizheng paid no heed, pressing on toward the door.
“You’re completely deaf, aren’t you? I explicitly told you to release ,” Nong Mobai yelled.
Mu Sizheng’s brows furrowed imdiately. He pivoted, hoisted Nong Mobai onto his shoulder, and briskly headed towards the parking lot.
“Mu Sizheng, you scoundrel, put down this instant, or else you’ll regret it,” Nong Mobai struggled, flailing his arms aimlessly and shouting.
“I don’t mind if you ride in the car, if that’s your preference.”
These words struck a chord. Nong Mobai dared not resist any longer, complying silently. He understood that Mu Sizheng ant what he said and wasn’t rely bluffing.
“You only heed my warnings when you’re afraid!”
He ushered Nong Mobai into the car, casting a glance at him before shutting the door firmly. Then, he circled around to the driver’s side and settled into the seat.
“Fear has nothing to do with it. I simply don’t see the point in arguing with you.”
Nong Mobai retorted, turning his face away from Mu Sizheng.
However, by chance, he caught sight of Loong Xiaoyi seated in the car, puffing on a cigarette.
At that mont, Loong Xiaoyi appeared engrossed in his laptop, periodically tapping away as if working.
“Odd, wasn’t Loong Xiaoyi supposed to have left already? Why is he still here?”
Was he concerned about Ann Yichen? Was that why he lingered?
“Although I’m not acquainted with that youngster, based on your conversation, it seems he’s matured because he doesn’t want to be left behind by Ann Yichen. Perhaps he hopes to take the lead and win Ann Yichen’s hand in marriage independently. Such aspirations are typical for suitors.”
Mu Sizheng interjected suddenly. While it initially sounded like he was addressing Nong Mobai, the final remark seed directed at himself.
“Don’t tell you abandoned to fend for myself for the sa reason.”
Nong Mobai quipped, but his smile faltered as Mu Sizheng regarded him with a grave expression.
Damn, is that true?
