Chapter 10

The one thing Xiu Ying could understand is why since she has met Lu Yifeng, he stuck to them like glue. He was always where they were, and she began to find it annoying. Unfortunately, what Xiu Ying doesn't understand is that she had been sold out because her best friend had fallen in love at first sight. Xiu Ying and Li Na decided to come get Xiu Ying's car later because they were going into town. They left Xiu Ying's car because the car Xiu Ying wanted was only fit for two people, but since they were three, unfortunately, the had to carry a car with bigger space, Li Na's car.

Although Xiu Ying faced a minor inconvenience (Lu Yifeng), she was still excited to explore the town. She loved the scenery and she generally just wanted to explore more of Jand city. From the JSP car shop, Li Na suggested that they go to a restaurant since they were all hungry. Xiu Ying was still hungry as well, so she agreed and together, with baggage Lu Yifeng, went to a restaurant near Jand central mall. The restaurant looked very pleasing to the eye and it looked affordable, so they went to the restaurant. The restaurant was called Xompclich restaurant.

They all settled in after getting a table. Xiu Ying looked at the menu planning to order something light since she had recently just eaten. Xiu Ying took notice of what Xiu Ying ordered so when they came out the next time, (of course under Yifeng's thinking), he needs to know what she likes.

Xiu Ying really could not choose so she just ordered chicken corn soup with ramen. Li Na and Yifeng also ordered their own foods. (sorry author is lazy at this point. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). Everyone got to eating. Yifeng noticed she seemed not to like cutting her chicken to pieces. He then went ahead to cut the chicken pieces on his own plate and put in her food. Xiu Ying was surprised and a little put off by this gesture. She was wondering what was wrong with him. 'Does he think I like him or something? Are we dating or something ah?' But she outwardly showed nothing.

She gave him a small smile. Yifeng smiled with a supposedly looking doting look but looked like he was looking at prey. Xiu Ying felt his stare and ignored it. 'Put up with it. The day is almost over.' She took a deep breath and looked at Li Na. She seemed to be in deep thought. Xiu Ying reached out to her across the table.

"Nana, what are we doing after this? We promised not to spend too long outside. We still need to finish up the packing in the house and we need to prepare for school."

Li Na snapped out of her reverie and turned to Xiu Ying. "Sorry, Xiu Ying. What did you say?" She blinked at Xiu Ying and smiled. Xiu Ying looked at her friend worriedly.

"NaNa, are you ok? You haven't said anything since we got our food. Are you tired?" Li Na shook her head repeatedly. "I am fine. I am just thinking of something. There's no need to worry."

Xiu Ying thought schoolwork was getting to her after all, they just started and they both know that their university experience is going to be challenging. After several cases of reassurance from Li Na, Xiu Ying was convinced that she was ok. Of course, Yifeng was still on the side, for the first time since he met the two girls, minding his business. He didn't care about women matters. What only concerned him at the moment was his new flame, Xiu Ying. He had tried to impress her, but she has remained polite to him all this while.

He was starting to get frustrated but thought about it. 'If she was easy, then it wouldn't be interesting. The more challenging, the sweeter it'll be when she's underneath me. He had realized that she wasn't really in for him joining them, so he had chosen to let go for now.

He turned to the two talking girls. "Sorry Li Na, Xiu Ying, I will not be able to accompany you for the rest of the afternoon. I have family things to do."

Xiu Ying was inwardly glad that he was leaving but still politely said her goodbyes. Li Na on eh other hand was adamantly asking why he had to leave. 'He still has to tell me information. He can't just leave.' She gave him a look, which Xiu Ying noticed.

'So, she likes him? Why is she giving him that look?' but said nothing and watched as Yifeng left their vicinity. She immediately turned to Li Na. "NaNa do you like him? You have been looking at him in some way since he joined us. Are you sure about your feelings for him? He looks like a playboy though." She said in one breath.

Li Na blinked at her friend. Then shook her head fiercely. "NO, I don't like him. I was just being grateful to him for helping us at the car shop. That is all. I don't like him, Xiu Ying. Li Na said making sure to stress the fact that she didn't like him.

Xiu Ying nodded and changed the topic to discussions about how they were going to spend the rest of their day. They eventually agreed to start at the shopping mall and end at the car shop to pick up Xiu Ying's car.

Meanwhile, at the Zhang mansion…

The tension in the room was very heavy. Mrs., Zhang looked awkward and disappointed, Mr. Zhang looked stern and indifferent, but you could see a little anger for the girl who almost lost his daughter, and Zhang Wei looked like he was about to freeze hell.

In the room, a lady was crying and next to her was a middle-aged woman, to her left, who was rubbing her back and consoling her, while a man to her right was looking at her with disappointment.

"Mrs. Zhang please forgive our Yingying. She is still young, and she was just trying to get some alone time with your son. I agree the way she did it was inappropriate, but it is just young love." The man to Ye Ying's left spoke. Yes, this man was Ye Ying's father, Ye Zhifao. He had a little grey hair and looked quite old and with the situation at hand, his face looked awkward.

The middle-aged woman then looked up. "Our Yingying might have acted immature today but this proved her feelings for the young master."

"Yingying hurry up and apologize." Ye Lihua, Ye Ying's mother urged her.

The crying girl lifted up her head and turned to the Zhang family. She stood up and bowed. "I deeply apologize for my actions today. It was dangerous for me to do that to someone, a little girl at that. Weixi, I hope you can forgive sister Ye." She made sure to use her name so if Weixi called her that, it means she has forgiven her and that means the whole family has forgiven her.

The little girl looked at her. "It's ok Aunty Ye. It was a mistake." Then she hopped off the chair and left the room. Ye Ying looked awkward once more because she called 'Aunty' again. At least she has forgiven her. This will lessen the Zhang family fury.

Ye Zhifao looked at his daughter. 'She is making no progress. Even the Zhang princess is so distant from her. How does she expect to marry into their family if this continues on? I need to do something about this.' He went deep in thought planning his next step while Ye Lihua tries to lift the awkward tension.
