“As if he’s telling the truth.”
Ying Xiaoxiao could not help sniggering. “Don’t worry, my father won’t dislike you. Let’s hurry in. It’s not good to keep my parents waiting.”
Following that, she held his arms to help him in.
“Wait.” Corey pulled her away.
“Why?” Ying Xiaoxiao turned around.
He smiled gently and removed her hand on his arm.
Ying Xiaoxiao frowned as she thought that he didn’t like her holding his arm.
He held her hand and smiled. “Now we look like a couple.”
The warmth in his palm seemed to fill up her heart to the brim. She smiled brilliantly, unable to control herself.
She blinked her slightly-teary eyes and smiled. “Let’s go in.”
The two held hands and entered the manor.
…
“What did you say?” Yayoi placed her cup on the table and sat hastily on the sofa, staring in astonishment at Rosiley, who was opposite her.
Rosiley held up her cup and sipped on the water before replying casually, “Xiaoxiao brought Corey back to the Ying manor.”
“Why?” In Yayoi’s memory, Xiaoxiao and Corey had always been at wit’s end with one another, fighting each other ever since they met. Why were they seeing each other’s parents?
She failed to react to such a fast speed of development.
Rosiley thought for a while before replying, “Uncle Ying asked Xiaoxiao to go on blind dates. To escape from doing that, Xiaoxiao asked someone to pretend to be her boyfriend.”
Yayoi frowned. “Don’t tell me that the person is Corey.”
Rosiley smiled meaningfully.
“It really is!” Yayoi gasped as she shook her head in disbelief. “Xiaoxiao surprised me again.”
Rosiley placed her cup back on the table, nodding her head in agreement. “She’s indeed full of surprises.”
“But why would Corey agree?” Yayoi was confused.
“He fell in love with her.”
Sheng Morphy, who walked out of the room, answered when he heard her query.
Rosiley tilted her head and saw him wearing casual clothes instead of a suit. She couldn’t help frowning. “Morphy, are you living here now?”
Morphy nodded. “Yeah, why?”
“Nothing. It seems inappropriate.” Rosiley was a little worried.
It was undeniable that he wished to accompany Yayoi more since her parents’ matter was still unresolved. However, living there would give a bad reputation to Yayoi when her neighbors saw him.
Morphy couldn’t help laughing. “sister-in-law, your reaction time is too slow. I’ve lived here for a few days already, and you just noticed that it could be inappropriate.”
Rosiley shrugged her shoulders. “Right, I did react slowly to this.
“But I still think it’s inappropriate. After all, the two of you haven’t gotten married yet and are just dating. For you to cohabit with her so obviously, if…”
“If I broke up with Yayoi, her reputation would be ruined, right?”
Morphy continued after her as he smiled gently at her.
Rosiley raised her brows, questioning him instead. “Is that not the case?”
“Is this not something I should be concerned about?”
