Chapter 122 - 122 Discovery
122 Discovery
He Miao accompanied Li Luo as they waited for Li Ming to come back from buying drinks. For some reason, she felt a pair of eyes staring at her from behind. However, every time she turned around to look, she did not find anything unusual.
Li Luo gently shook He Miao’s hand and asked worriedly, “Sister, do you not like to come to the amusement park to play?”
“Oh no.” He Miao shook her head slightly. Coincidentally, Li Ming came back after lining up to buy the most popular fruit juice in the park. He handed them a cup each.
Li Ming felt that He Miao was a little uneasy. He passed He Miao a tissue to wipe her sweat with a frown. “Are you tired? Do you want to find a place to rest?”
“I’m fine. If Luoluo is tired, she can rest for a while before playing.” He Miao lowered her head to look at Li Luo. Suddenly, she caught a familiar figure in her peripheral vision. She turned her head back abruptly, but the black figure was no longer in her line of sight.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Li Luo worriedly pulled on her arm and brought her to a shady place to sit down.
It was already autumn, and the weather should be cool. However, the temperature suddenly rose. They were worried about catching a cold and wore more layers, which made it a little stuffy.
He Miao looked at the corner she had just seen from the corner of her eye, then retracted her gaze casually and smiled. “I’m going to the washroom. Wait for me.”
“Alright,” she said. Li Luo obediently let go of her hand and stood by her brother’s side, waiting for He Miao to return.
He Miao turned around, her eyes full of confusion. If she was not mistaken, the person standing there was one of the people Jing Yan had sent to guard the neighborhood.
She walked to a corner and called Jing Yan, but he did not pick up.
She pondered for a moment, sent a message to Jing Yan, and then went back to meet up with Li Ming and the others.
Jing Yan was at the competition venue at the moment. It was not until the competition ended and he walked down the stage with the first prize that he saw He Miao’s message.
Mu Xiao happily put his arm around his shoulder. “Brother Yan, you’re amazing! These people are no match for you! Where are we going to celebrate tonight?”
Jing Yan pursed his lips tightly. After reading the message, his heart was in turmoil, and his eyes were filled with the desire to see that person.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and shook off Mu Xiao’s hand. He frowned and booked two plane tickets.
Mu Xiao was dumbfounded. “We’re going back now? Aren’t you going to stay here for a few more days? It’s not easy for us to have a good reason to take so many days off!”
“Go back. ” Jing Yan glanced at him expressionlessly. “You can play here if you want.”
“Then I’d better go back with you!” Mu Xiao got into the car dejectedly. After fastening his seat belt, he was still sulking. “If my dad finds out that you’re back in uni while I’m still playing around, he’ll skin me alive!”
“You should listen to uncle’s teachings carefully.” Jing Yan was driving when he thought of the text message. He suddenly smiled, his eyes full of gentleness.
“No way, Brother Yan. Why are you suddenly acting like an old man?” Mu Xiao’s eyes widened in disbelief, and he smacked his lips as he ridiculed, “We used to be the same kind of hedonistic rich kids. How did you become a model student who easily got first place?”
Jing Yan glanced at him disdainfully. “I could’ve won first place easily.”
The plane landed in the evening.
Jing Yan drove his car that was parked at the airport. He wished he could fly to He Miao’s side, so he pressed the car horn many times on the road before he finally arrived at He Miao’s house before night fell.
He knocked on the familiar door, and Jing Yan could only hear his own frantic heartbeat.
The girl in the room responded in a low voice, followed by a series of messy footsteps gradually approaching the door.
“He’s here, Miaomiao.”
Jing Yan’s eyes were filled with the joy of reuniting after a long time, but when he saw the person who opened the door for him, his smile froze on his face.
“Who is it?” He Miao was washing vegetables in the kitchen when she heard the door open.
Li Ming looked at the man outside the door with dark eyes and a gloomy face. “It’s Jing Yan.”
He Miao walked over with a frown. When she saw Jing Yan’s cold eyes, her heart skipped a beat. “Come in.”
“You were the one who said you wanted to see me.” Jing Yan’s aggrieved gaze fell on He Miao, and the jealousy brewing in his chest forced its way into his eyes. When he looked at Li Ming’s face, it all turned into anger.
“Yes.” He Miao met Li Ming’s surprised gaze and nodded without any hesitation.
She had sent Jing Yan a message in the afternoon, saying that she wanted to meet him when he was free, and that she had something to ask him.
He Miao only wanted to ask about the bodyguard, but she did not expect the atmosphere between Jing Yan and Li Ming to be so tense.
Jing Yan pursed his lips and glanced at the two people in the room with dark eyes. His intention to drive them apart was obvious.
He Miao sighed softly. She grabbed Jing Yan’s hand, brought him into the bedroom, and closed the door.
Jing Yan was shocked by her action. A hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and the jealousy in his heart instantly disappeared.
However, before he could be happy for long, He Miao’s words completely shattered his joy.
“Did you send someone to follow me?”
