Chapter 187: Suddenly Confessed to

“Nothing in particular,” Ye Qingran said from the bottom of her heart.

Going to eat with one of the male protagonists would never taste good.

Leng Xiao did not care about her coldness. He told her the name of a restaurant and told her that the dishes in this restaurant were very delicious, and it was not far from here.

Ye Qingran replied, “Whatever.”

Leng Xiao drove straight to the restaurant. Half an hour later, the two of them sat in a private room of the restaurant. It was obvious that a reservation had been made in advance.

When they were ordering, he asked Ye Qingran what she liked to eat. Ye Qingran said the same words, “Whatever.”

After the waiter took the order and left, Leng Xiao suddenly asked, “Do you really find it that irritating to be with me?”

Ye Qingran, who was looking at her phone, raised her eyes and looked at him.

Just as she was about to reply, Leng Xiao interrupted her, “Forget it, forget it. You don’t have to answer.”

Ye Qingran put her phone on the table and looked at him, asking, “Why did you look for me today?”

Leng Xiao still answered, “There’s really nothing, I just wanted to catch up with you.”

Ye Qingran did not think so. She said speechlessly, “I’ve already come to eat with you. Don’t keep me in suspense anymore.”

Leng Xiao rubbed his teacup with his fingers.

When he spoke again, his tone was deeper, as if he had another meaning. “I’m not trying to keep you in suspense. But if it’s said that I have something to talk to you about, there could be considered something.”

Ye Qingran replied blankly, “I don’t really understand what you’re saying.”

“I like you, does that count as something?”

Leng Xiao’s sudden question startled Ye Qingran.

“What?”

The gaze that he used to look at Ye Qingran became dark and deep, and his tone became much gentler than before. Leng Xiao said softly, “If I say that I like you very much, will you give me a chance?”

Very straightforward!

He did not beat around the bush.

He threw the ball directly at Ye Qingran.

Ye Qingran had never met a man who said that he liked her so suddenly.

Any man who could get close to her was an extremely smart man.

Smart men would not do such impulsive things. Even if they liked her, they would have a series of meticulous preparations to confess.

Leng Xiao looked at Ye Qingran and continued, “I know that our first meeting was not a good one. I was an evil person in your heart. When I lost to you, it hurt my pride and made me want to take revenge on you. But that time, I really did want to be friends with you. I thought that you were very fun and interesting, and I really wanted to get to know you. I didn’t understand why I would have such interesting thoughts about a man until that day…”

“When you told me that that man was your boyfriend, I was shocked and finally understood, that I liked you. I don’t want to lie to you, when I realized that I liked a man, I didn’t plan to be together with you.”

“First, I myself couldn’t accept it. Second, it was because of my family. They would definitely not allow me to be with a man, they would destroy us and separate us. Of course, they wouldn’t do anything to me, but you would definitely become a target.”

“That’s why I didn’t come looking for you until recently. I had also thought it through, and decided I would never see you again. It was only when I heard that you were a girl that I mustered up the courage to come looking for you to tell you everything.”

He was very direct and sincere.

He did not hold anything back and told her everything that was good and bad.

Ye Qingran felt that although this man was impulsive.

But his impulsiveness had a kind of cleverness.

It was a routine.

She thought for a moment and said, “Thank you for liking me, but I think you shouldn’t have come to me. You just said it yourself, I already have a boyfriend.”

Leng Xiao lowered his eyes and said, “No need to thank me. I’m not saying this for your grat.i.tude. I also know that you have a boyfriend, but it’s just a boyfriend, not a husband. You still have the right to choose.”

Ye Qingran said, “But I only like him.”

These words made Leng Xiao’s heart feel as heavy as Mount Tai. His throat was sore and bitter, and he could not help but be wildly jealous of that man.

That man called Chu Yan.

Leng Xiao smiled. “It’s okay. There are no absolute couples in this world. You’re still young, maybe you won’t only like one person, and maybe one day you won’t like him. At that time, maybe you’ll like me.”

Ye Qingran wanted to tell the truth. “I think this is purely hypothetical…”

However, Leng Xiao interrupted her. “Anyway, I won’t give up. I came to have dinner with you today. At first, I really just wanted to catch up with you. Now, I want to declare to you, that I’m going to pursue you.”

Ye Qingran:”…”

She clearly had an answer for him, but he refused to hear it. He refused to hear her refusal.

She had only met Leng Xiao a few times, and every time they met, they would bicker. In any case, she had never been polite to him.

How did he fall in love with her?

Moreover, he looked like he was deeply in love and could not extricate himself.

If she remembered correctly, Leng Xiao rejected women in the original novel and could not be intimate with them.

Until Mu Qingxue appeared.

Only then did he find the taste of love between a man and a woman.

Could it be that because she had used her male ident.i.ty to get close to Leng Xiao, so he did not reject her.

That was why Leng Xiao still did not reject her even when she reverted to her female ident.i.ty.

That was why Leng Xiao was so persistent. After all, he did not know if he could meet another woman that he did not reject.

If that was the case, how was that him liking her.

It was just that he did not have a choice.

After dinner, Ye Qingran did not ask Leng Xiao to send her home. Instead, she took a taxi back.

She did not return to the Ye Residence either. Instead, she sent a message to Lin Shu’er and returned to the small villa.

As Chu Yan was not in Jiang City, Ye Jun did not object to her staying in the small villa for one night.

He only asked her to take advantage of this time to bring all her belongings home.

The day before, in the overly pink room, Ye Qingran really did not sleep well. Hence, she felt sleepy very early and fell asleep as soon as she laid on the bed.

She slept until she woke up naturally.

She was very hungry.

After was.h.i.+ng up, she prepared to go downstairs to eat.

Chu Yan and her did not live here, so the aunt did not come to cook. However, when she came yesterday, she had bought bread and milk.

Ye Qingran did not have the time to change into her pajamas. Her hair was still messy, and she lazily walked down the stairs.

In the end, she saw the figure of a man who was busy in the kitchen.

The sunlight outside the window fell on him. He was tall and straight, dazzling.

When he saw her coming down, the man turned around and greeted her. “You’re awake?”

Ye Qingran’s heart instantly tightened.”…”

Chu Yan had returned and was making breakfast.

Then, did he know about her gender.

Did he know?

Did he not know?

Or did he know..
