Chapter 62: Does Big Brother Like It?
Chen Jiamu hadn’t expected to see An Yiyi at his own house. Did she come to the house to ask for his WeChat because he hadn’t accepted her request?
“Jiamu, you’re back.”
“Little An came to play with you. Why didn’t you accept her friend request?”
Su Yi was dead set on setting him up with An Yiyi. Chen Jiamu could only force a fake laugh. “I was too busy today. After going to the company with my sister, I didn’t have time to look at my phone.”
“You went to the company?”
Hearing that he went to the company, Su Yi instantly stopped fussing about the friend request.
“Yeah, Sister took me to see it, and we signed a contract while we were at it.”
Chen Jiamu nodded, casually mentioning the contract signing. Su Yi was already satisfied that Chen Jiamu had gone to the company voluntarily.
“I told you Jiamu is capable. Helping your sister secure a contract just by going to the company once.”
Chen Jiamuās intention was to change the subject, but Su Yiās few words made things weird.
He turned to look at Chen Cheng, only to see her expression shift, her eyes holding a hint of disappointment.
“Stop.”
“Sister negotiated the contract, not me.”
One point Chen Jiamu really disliked about Su Yi was her preference for sons. They were both her children; why couldn’t she see Chen Chengās efforts?
Seeing the atmosphere becoming tense, An Yiyi, who had been standing quietly aside, couldn’t help but speak up. “Auntie…”
When An Yiyi spoke, Su Yi snapped back to reality. Remembering there was a guest, she didn’t want to make a scene.
“Alright, alright.”
“Yiyi wanted to invite you to the Lantern Festival tomorrow, but she didn’t have your contact info. You made her run all the way here.”
While complaining, Su Yi pulled An Yiyi and pushed her toward Chen Jiamu.
Chen Jiamu smelled the perfume in the air and instinctively dodged backward, his shoulder bumping into Chen Cheng, who was standing silently nearby.
“Lantern Festival?”
Chen Jiamu murmured. He suddenly realized he hadn’t gone out to play with Chen Cheng in a long time, and she seemed like she hadn’t gone out in ages either.
So he turned to ask Chen Cheng, “Sister, do you have anything important at the company tomorrow?”
“If not, let’s go together.”
“It’s been so long since you went out for fun.”
Chen Cheng hadn’t planned to stay, but she hadn’t expected Chen Jiamu to ask her. Her heart skipped a beatānot because he asked about the Lantern Festival, but because he noticed she hadn’t gone out in a long time.
While Chen Cheng remained silent, Su Yi thought about speaking up to refuse on her behalf. Chen Jiamu finally had a chance to be alone with An Yiyi.
What was the point of bringing a third wheel?
But after a moment of silence, Chen Cheng focused her gaze on An Yiyi. She was here for Chen Jiamu, which meant she was interested in him.
If she tagged along, would it be…
“Sister, let’s go.”
“Treat it as a day off for yourself.”
Chen Jiamu saw her hesitation and added more fuel to the fire. At this moment, Su Yi couldn’t hold back, but before she could speak, An Yiyi chimed in: “Is Sister going too?”
Hearing An Yiyiās words, Chen Cheng instinctively wanted to decline, but An Yiyi continued, “If Sister goes too, that would be great.”
“I heard there are all sorts of fun things to buy there. Brother Jiamu is a clumsy guy; I’m afraid once he starts having fun, he won’t pay attention to me…”
Chen Cheng had thought she would be unwelcome, but unexpectedly, An Yiyi actively invited her.
Seeing she was still silent, An Yiyi got anxious. She trotted over to her side, hugged her arm, and began to act coquettishly, swaying back and forth with a soft voice: “Sister, come with us~”
“Come on, please~”
A girl acting cuteāand a particularly beautiful girl at that. Chen Cheng felt like she had been struck by lightning, goosebumps rising all over her body from the shaking.
Seeing An Yiyi like this, the excuse Su Yi had prepared died in her throat…
“Little Cheng, just go.”
“If you don’t go, Yiyi is going to shake herself apart.”
Finally, Su Yi couldn’t stand it anymore. Since An Yiyi wanted her to go, then she should go.
“Okay.”
Once Su Yi spoke, Chen Cheng hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Staring at Su Yi, she felt a dull ache in her heart.
“Yay!”
An Yiyi acted extremely happy that Chen Cheng agreed to the Lantern Festival, hugging her arm and rubbing her face against it frantically.
Like a kitten acting cute to its owner, begging for pets.
Regarding her reaction, everyone just assumed she was young and didn’t want to be awkward without another girl around.
With the Lantern Festival plans set, Chen Cheng began handing over tomorrow’s tasks. Chen Jiamu, however, didn’t dare tell Li Qi the news. Seeing that Li Qi wanted to meet for lunch tomorrow, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He would have lunch, then make an excuse to go back to the company.
Since Li Qi knew he would be busy at the company, he wouldn’t ask too many questions.
Thinking this, he felt at ease video chatting with Li Qi. Learning that he was going to the company tomorrow, Li Qi wasn’t surprised. Instead, he gave him a thumbs-up and heaped praise on him.
It made Chen Jiamu feel embarrassed.
“Stop with the smooth talk.”
“When are you going back to your company?”
Speaking of which, Chen Jiamu was actually quite worried. It meant they would be in a long-distance relationship.
Plus, after joining the company, he definitely wouldn’t be as leisurely as he was now, able to skip work whenever he wanted.
“Why? You want to push me back that badly?”
On the screen, Li Qi seemed to have just finished a shower. His hair was wet, a towel draped over his head.
Perhaps a drop of water had landed on the camera lens, making the image a bit blurry. The screen was covered in white for a moment, presumably as he wiped the water away.
Chen Jiamu leaned in curiously. As soon as he got close, he was hit by the visual impact of Li Qiās handsome face…
Fair skin, deep eyesāin that moment, Chen Jiamu could hear his own heart flutter…
“You’re so handsome…”
The compliment slipped out before he could stop it, making Chen Jiamu blush. Hearing the praise, the corner of Li Qiās mouth curled into a smile. He deliberately swept his hair back, revealing a smooth forehead and shapely brows. His voice was low and magnetic as he asked, “Does Brother Jiamu like it?”
Li Qiās use of “Brother” made Chen Jiamuās breath hitch instantly! His ears started ringing…
This little lunatic was flirting with him again!
