Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful-Chapter 680 - Playing Hard To Get (2)

Chapter 680 Playing Hard To Get (2)

At that time, this guy would give her trouble from time to time, even though she later realized that it was just Mu Tingfeng’s attempt to attract her attention.

But at that time, it only annoyed her, so much so that for a long time, the two of them had remained incompatible.

Su Qing was right. This guy did not know how to express himself in a nice way. If one were to expect the worst from him, he would appear to be sullen and flirtatious!

Joy did not really understand the undercurrent between the adults. He only knew that he wanted a soft and cute little brother who could accompany him, just like Dudu. But since Zhao Youlin had said so, Joy pinched his little face and reluctantly said, “Well… well, as long as he is obedient and well-behaved, I’ll love my sister like any other.”

Zhao Youlin was stunned again. When she looked at her son’s serious face, she felt a little gratified. She lowered her head and kissed Joy on his forehead. She smiled and said, “Well, with you around, they will definitely be well-behaved.”

After working hard for so long, they finally got the child’s approval. Both Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng were very happy.

Of course, Su Ruixin and Mu Xiaoyang were also very happy when they learned about this. That night, they dragged Mu Tingfeng into the room and whispered to each other for a long time. It was easy to imagine what happened after that.

Zhao Youlin almost couldn’t get out of bed the next morning. She was so angry that she kicked Mu Tingfeng out of bed.

Compared to the success of Zhao Youlin and the others, Nie Yunfan on the other side was much more miserable.

Ever since a certain someone confessed to him that day, the relationship between An Qi and himself had been in a tepid state. It was even more awkward than it had been before the confession.

This made Nie Yunfan scratch his ears and cheeks. His originally firm conviction began to waver. He felt that he had been too hasty and exposed his thoughts too early.

In the dead of night, the silence was excruciatingly deafening!

“This weekend… Are you free?” Nie Yunfan hesitated for a long time and finally couldn’t help but ask.

An Qi, who was cooking, shook her hand and almost cut her finger. Her face turned slightly pale and she stuttered, “I’m afraid this weekend won’t work, I…”

“What’s wrong?” Nie Yunfan furrowed his brows. “You still have something to do? Do you want to accompany Yue Yue? Or do you want to help in the shop? Or do you want to go out to replenish your rations?”

“I…” An Qi felt a little guilty. It turned out that she had rejected Nie Yunfan many times in the past few days.

Nie Yunfan couldn’t help but sigh when he saw her like this. “I’ve asked. Yue Yue has Youlin accompanying her this week. The store never works overtime on weekends. The refrigerator is filled with all kinds of ingredients. It doesn’t look like it would be used up in half a month. An Qi, how long are you going to hide from

me?”

“I didn’t…” An Qi retreated with a helpless expression. She didn’t dare to look into Nie Yunfan’s eyes.

Nie Yunfan couldn’t bear to see her like this. He pursed his lips as if he had made up his mind. He said in a muffled voice, “I know you have a good heart. Even if you’re unhappy, you won’t say it out loud. Has my existence caused you trouble? If that’s really the case, I can move out and I will no longer appear in front of you. There’s only one thing I have to ask, don’t hide. If I miss you occasionally, I can still look at you from afar. Is that okay?”

Nie Yunfan’s whisper was just like the dignity he had put down. As expected, it once again caused An Qi’s heart to tremble violently.

Before An Qi could react, Nie Yunfan had already sighed and was about to turn around and leave with a face full of dejection.

An Qi’s expression changed when she saw this. Before she could think, her hand had already reached out and grabbed Nie Yunfan’s clothes.

Nie Yunfan paused and turned to look at An Qi in surprise. An Qi looked at her hand in a daze. It was as if even she was frightened by her sudden action. As if she had been stung by something, she pulled her hand back.

“I, I, I… You…” An Qi held her own hand tightly, and it took a long time for her to finish her sentence, “You… don’t overthink this. I don’t think you’re causing me any trouble. You don’t have to move out. This weekend… This weekend, right? I’m free this weekend. I can accompany you wherever you want to go. That’s it. I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to tidy up in my room. I’ll go tidy up first.”

“… Okay.”

Nie Yunfan silently watched An Qi run away. The hand that was grabbed just now opened and closed, as if recalling the warmth when An Qi had grabbed his hand just now.

In the end, Nie Yunfan still couldn’t hold it in. He smiled contentedly and put his hand behind his back, revealing an insufferably happy expression.

Hehe, this tactic of playing hard to get is quite effective. Let’s go on a date this weekend!

Unfortunately, Young Master Nie was still too naïve. Preparing for the so-called first date only covered the step where one was asked out. But it did not mean that the date itself would go smoothly.

According to Nie Yunfan’s script, he was supposed to ask An Qi out for a candlelit dinner. Then, taking advantage of the atmosphere, he would send a gift to confess his love and successfully win An Qi’s heart, so that she would have no reason to reject him. It was a logical decision to establish a relationship.

However, his first step was already off-course, so much so that it would lead to a series of chain reactions.

A high-class restaurant. Nie Yunfan’s original intention was to have it in such a place. With the mood and atmosphere, plus a bouquet of flowers, a bottle of wine, and two people… everything was complete, and he could confess his love.

However, the reality was that An Yue felt all kinds of discomfort after she sat down. Such a high-class restaurant was not a good place to relax in her eyes. On the contrary… the inquisitive gazes from all directions made her hair stand on end.

“Uh…”

“Uh…”

The two people sitting opposite each other spoke at the same time, but they had completely different feelings. One was pure joy and excitement, and the other was an indescribable awkwardness.

The two people were stunned for a moment. They looked at each other and said in unison, “You speak first.”

Nie Yunfan coughed lightly. “Alright, I’ll speak first. About the previous matter, you…”

Before Nie Yunfan could finish speaking, An Qi’s face turned red. Her eyes began to drift to the side unconsciously, not daring to meet Nie Yunfan’s eyes. “You… didn’t you say that you would give me some time to consider?”

Nie Yunfan’s expression froze slightly. He thought to himself; I did say that, but it has been at least half a month since I confessed my love to the Zhao family. Isn’t this taking too long?

Nie Yunfan was extremely anxious, but he had no choice but to pretend to be magnanimous. He nodded and said, “I was right. Of course, I’m willing to wait, but…” An Qi’s heart trembled. “But?”
