Chu Yuan’s eyes sparkled slightly, then he said with a smile, “Here comes your boyfriend, I should get going.”
With that said, he got up and was about to leave.
At this moment…
“Wait.” Ying Xiaoxiao grabbed his hand.
Chu Yuan turned his head and swept his gaze over the hand that she was using to grab his. He narrowed his eyes and looked at her. “What’s wrong?”
“Do me a favor,” she said softly, a pleading gleam in her eyes.
Chu Yuan raised his brows and sat back down.
Knowing that he was willing to help her, Ying Xiaoxiao thanked him in a low voice.
Chu Yuan curled his lips. His gaze was so dark that no one could read his mind at that moment.
When Corey got near them, he immediately saw Ying Xiaoxiao holding onto Chu Yuan’s hand. His gaze darkened. “Ying Xiaoxiao, have you forgotten who you are?”
His tone sounded very upset.
As soon as Corey said those words, Chu Yuan felt her hand tightening around his arm even more.
He turned to look at Ying Xiaoxiao.
If Ying Xiaoxiao had not known that Corey did not like her, she would really have thought that Corey was jealous.
She chuckled softly and looked up at Corey. She said to him mockingly, “How could I forget who I am? I think it is you who has forgotten who they are.”
Corey knew that it was his fault for leaving her alone while he was having fun. However, she still should not be having a good time chatting with Chu Yuan and disregarding her boyfriend completely.
At this moment, Corey had completely forgotten that he was actually her fake boyfriend. He had no right to interfere with who she wanted to chat with.
Seeing that he was silent, Ying Xiaoxiao felt slightly annoyed. “If you only came here to ask me that, you should quickly go back and play with them. Don’t disturb me and Chu Yuan.”
Hearing that, Chu Yuan raised his brows and a hint of interest surfaced in his eyes.
Corey was enraged. “Ying Xiaoxiao, what are you talking about? I’m your boyfriend, but you want to chase me away and be with another man?”
A streak of light flashed in Ying Xiaoxiao’s eyes. She could not help curling the corners of her lips and asking probingly, “Are you feeling jealous?”
“Jealous… ” Corey froze for a bit. It was then that he realized what he had just said.
He saw Chu Yuan looking at him with interest, and also saw the expectation in Ying Xiaoxiao’s eyes. He looked away uneasily and lifted his hand to rub the tip of his nose. “You’re thinking too much. How could I possibly be jealous?”
Out of the corner of his eye, Chu Yuan caught a glimpse of Ying Xiaoxiao’s eyes dulling instantly. He pursed his lips and asked with a smile, “Corey, isn’t Xiaoxiao your girlfriend? Isn’t it normal for you to be jealous?”
“She’s not… ” Corey subconsciously wanted to deny it, but fortunately he was alert enough. When the words were just at the tip of his tongue, he quickly changed what he was going to say. “She’s not one to be two-hearted, so I trust her.”
“Two-hearted?” Ying Xiaoxiao snorted and her gaze turned colder. “Right now I feel that Chu Yuan is better than you.”
This made Corey unhappy. “Ying Xiaoxiao, are you deliberately going against me?”
A smile spread from the corners of Ying Xiaoxiao’s lips, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes. “Yes, I am going against you. If you’re unhappy, you can go find your little sister! She won’t go against you!”
“What does this have to do with Ying Xiaoxiao? Why are you… bringing her into it?” Corey’s voice gradually grew softer. His brows furrowed and a flash of light flashed across his mind. He seemed to have understood something.
“Have you misunderstood my relationship with Xiaoxiao?” Corey asked.
Ying Xiaoxiao’s heart shuddered. She felt as if she had been exposed and looked away. She replied in a cold and hard tone, “You’re thinking too much.”
“Am I?” Corey frowned. Seeing as she was not even daring to look at him, it was obvious that she was feeling guilty.
After thinking for a while, he said to Chu Yuan, “Second Brother, can you… ”
Before he finished his words, Chu Yuan knew better and stood up. He patted him on the shoulder and said, “I know what you mean.”
Then, he turned to Ying Xiaoxiao and said, “Xiaoxiao, we can talk again when there’s a chance.”
With that, he smiled at Corey and walked away.
