Chapter 1107: I’ll Watch You On Behalf Of My Uncle
Translator: Yunyi
Song Yaoyao looked at her speechlessly.
“The signal in the room isn’t good. How can it be any fun?”
In the mountains, there wasn’t even a signal tower around. She had no idea that Song Yaoyao was coming here in advance. If she did, she would have downloaded a whole heap of novels and movies.
“Tsk.” Tang Xinrou propped her elbows on the table and rested her hands on her cheeks, “You’re actually worried about your Auntie, aren’t you? Why? Did your uncle give you a task before coming here? For example, to keep an eye on her and prevent all men from getting close to her?”
“Ha…”
As soon as these words left her mouth, Zhong Li started laughing before Huo Tian managed to respond.
Huo Tian’s eyes widened. “My uncle didn’t tell me that! Besides, my uncle is in a class of his own. He doesn’t need to worry about things like that! If she really…” She was furious. “If she really finds another man, then she’s got really bad taste!”
“Pfff, hahahaha…”
Tang Xinrou laughed out loud, thinking that Song Yaoyao had traumatized Huo Tian so much that she didn’t even dare to say her name.
Song Yaoyao put down her cup and looked out of the window. A cool breeze blew in. The mountains were stacked on top of each other, and the verdant trees intertwined with the misty sky, forming a beautiful scene that could only be seen in a painting.
An idea suddenly flashed through her mind.
She stood up. “I’m going back. You guys have a nice chat.”
As soon as she left, Huo Tian and Tang Xinrou naturally followed her.
By the time Song Yaoyao finished recording all the ideas in her mind, the sky had already darkened.
“Let go!”
Suddenly, a low growl from outside the window caught Song Yaoyao’s attention.
She walked slowly to the table, poured a cup of hot tea, and leaned against the wall to drink it casually.
“I don’t want it! You know that I like you, why—”
Huh?
“Shut up!”
The man’s voice was extremely cold, without a hint of emotion. Song Yaoyao didn’t know why, but she suddenly remembered the scene she saw when she came out at night after recording the first episode of Dazzling You.
The man in front of the car lovingly put his coat over the girl’s body as if he was especially fond of her.
Now, what was this situation? How interesting.
“Remember, your surname is Zhongli. You’ll be my sister for the rest of your life. I’ll only say this once. If there’s a next time, you’ll go back to Country M.”
As these words fell, there was a long silence outside, so long that Song Yaoyao thought that they had left. Only then did Zhongli Xue mumble in a trembling voice, “I know, never again, never again…”
“Good girl.”
After a sigh, the man’s voice softened, “You will always be my most beloved sister.”
“Then…”
Zhongli Xue was sobbing. “Will you be with Lily? Will you be with her?”
“Silly girl.”
Zhong Li could not help but laugh. “How can that be? I’m a businessman. I praise her because she can make money for me. Alright, forget everything that happened today. Go back and rest.”
“Okay,” Zhongli Xue said sullenly, “You should rest early too. Good night.”
“Good night.”
She really left this time and it was quiet outside.
Song Yaoyao blew on the hot tea. The tea leaves were picked from the nearby mountains by the lady boss, so they naturally couldn’t be compared to the tea at Huo Manor, but they had a different flavor. It seemed to have the scent of the rain: sweet and fresh.
She rolled her eyes and was about to return to the table.
Someone suddenly knocked on the window, scaring Song Yaoyao so much that she spat out a mouthful of tea and almost choked.
Cough cough cough…
Knock knock knock.
The knocking on the window continued. In the dark and quiet old house, it was rather creepy.
Song Yaoyao put down her cup in annoyance. She walked over, opened the wooden window abruptly, and said to the outside, “Are you sick?”
Zhong Li obviously did not expect Song Yaoyao to be so hot-tempered. He choked for a moment before replying, “I’m not sick.”
Song Yaoyao: “… If you’re not sick, then go back to sleep! Do you know how annoying you are?”
She rolled her eyes and was about to close the window.
A hand suddenly reached out and happened to get stuck between the window that she was about to close. A muffled cry of pain escaped from between Zhong Li’s lips and teeth. Song Yaoyao’s eyelids twitched as she coldly opened the window and crossed her arms. “What on earth do you want?”
“Ha…”
Zhong Li curled his lips and smiled in a refined manner, causing song Yaoyao’s expression to darken. “I just wanted to ask if Miss Song heard?”
“I did.”
Song Yaoyao raised the corners of her lips and looked at him with a half-smile. “It’s the middle of the night. I don’t know why there’s a dog barking. I must give the lady boss a good suggestion tomorrow to stop allowing random animals in. It’s really annoying.”
Zhong Li acted as if he didn’t hear what she was saying. He rubbed his hands against the window and chuckled. “Did you rely on your sharp tongue to get Huo Yunque to like you?”
“Of course not.” Song Yaoyao smiled. She poked her dimples with her finger and gave a bewitching smile. “Gege took a liking to me because I’m cute.”
Zhong Li was stunned by her smile.
How should he put it? Song Yaoyao’s smile was different from anything he had ever seen. When she smiled, she revealed her snow-white teeth and her dimples were deep. Her eyes were the most adorable crescent shape when she smiled. It gave off a bright and beautiful feeling, full of vitality.
She tilted her head slightly and said that she was cute without any self-deprecation.
On such a cloudy day, even the sky seemed to be pressing down. Her smile really made people’s eyes light up.
Song Yaoyao rolled her eyes. She couldn’t be bothered to look at the dazed Zhong Li. Instead, she raised her hand to close the window.
“Wait—”
“Ow!”
Zhong Li reached out his hand quickly, and Song Yaoyao reacted just as fast. Before his brain could react, a small fist had already arrived.
“Song, Yao, Yao!”
The man bent down and held his nose tightly, his voice seemingly filled with tears.
Song Yaoyao slammed the window shut, conveniently dropping the bolt from inside.
“You were the one who attacked first! I was trying to protect myself.”
Song Yaoyao’s punch had landed directly on his nose. Zhong Li even felt as though his nose had been knocked crooked. At that moment, his nose was terribly sore, and his eyes were covered with a layer of tears. After a long while, Zhong Li stood up, and his hands felt sticky.
He looked down and his face was livid.
His nose was bleeding.
The next day, Lily walked to the dining area with her head lowered and sat down. Her assistant asked if she was unhappy.
Lily said, “Tang and Director Song both checked out. I only found out when I went to look for them.”
They did not even say goodbye to her.
“Ah, that…”
The assistant looked out of the window. The sky was still foggy, but the rain had stopped.
These words had only passed through Zhongli Xue’s ears once, leaving nothing behind. Her eyes were slightly swollen. Those who did not know would think that she had cried last night. But because of her cold and aloof nature, no one dared to ask her about it even though she looked exhausted.
