Rejection

Zhong Yating confirmed Ye Leng'an's assumption with her next words. "Sister-in-law, I came to look for you today. Ruixiang didn't know that I was coming. Can we have a chat?"

Ye Leng'an didn't resist Zhong Yating's request. Soon, they found themselves in a café outside the school.

As they sipped on their fruit juices, Ye Leng'an looked at the silent Zhong Yating and asked, "Why did you come looking for me? Surely you didn't come here just to sit with me."

She couldn't quite grasp Zhong Yating's intentions. They hadn't interacted much before, let alone had any meaningful conversations. Her sudden visit, especially after Huangfu Ruiling announced cutting ties with Huangfu Jingzhang and the others, puzzled her.

"Sister-in-law, actually, I…" Zhong Yating took a deep breath and continued, "I came here today because I have something to ask of you."

With that out, Zhong Yating no longer felt embarrassed.
