Chapter 42
He Fei did not retreat despite receiving a cold response from Zi Yi.
He placed the bouquet on the table and asked naturally, “Little Yiyi, what flowers do you like? I’ll buy them for you later?”
Zi Yi frowned. Could it be that this man did not understand her words? “I don’t like flowers.”
“Alright, I understand. You like racing cars. I’ll give you one later!.”
“…” Zi Yi thought of the approaching exam time and said, “Aren’t we going out? Let’s leave now.”
He Fei gave her a wink and said, “Let’s go. I’m exclusively yours for the day. I’ll follow you wherever you want to go.”
Zi Yi felt that her hands were somewhat itchy. Coincidentally, her gaze landed on Zi Lian, who was standing not too far away, and asked, “Cousin, aren’t you going out? Do you want to come with us?”
Zi Lian did not have the spare energy to think of the outcome when she had said she wanted to go out but when she heard Zi Yi, she was about to immediately nod. However, under He Fei’s pressing gaze, she bit her lips and asked in a reserved manner. “Would I be disturbing you two if I tag along?”
“No.”
“Yes.”
Zi Yi glanced at He Fei and narrowed her eyes.
He Fei grinned and immediately changed his tune to appear generous. “You won’t. We can send you to your destination first.”
Zi Lian blushed, pursed her lips, and smiled. “Then I’ll have to trouble Brother He.”
Zi Yi nearly had goosebumps all over her body when she heard Zi Lian say the words ‘Brother He’.
With a wooden expression, she said, “Wait for me, I’ll fetch my bag and then we can leave.”
She went to her room and took the backpack she had prepared last night.
Li Peirong walked the trio to the elevator and said to He Fei with an expression of a loving mother, “Young Master He, please take care of Yiyi.”
The thought that he was soon about to hang out with Zi Yi alone, made him feel thrilled deep down. He immediately assured Li Peirong. “Auntie, rest assured. I will take good care of Little Yiyi.”
Zi Yi looked at the duo and walked into the lift.
He Fei quickly followed her inside.
Zi Lian and Li Peirong glanced at each other, before she also followed them into the lift.
In the car, He Fei asked Zi Yi, “Little Yiyi, where do you want to go? After sending your cousin to her destination, shall I take you to the racing club?”
Just as Zi Lian wanted to find an excuse to tag along, Zi Yi spoke up, “Go to Huayang Road first. I took a liking to an auto part yesterday and I want to buy it now.”
Huayang Road was the nearest road to Metropolis University and it was also a place that sold auto parts
When He Fei heard that Zi Yi wanted to buy car parts, he stepped on the accelerator and drove the car out the lot.
Zi Lian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After they arrived at Huayang Road, she had to find an excuse so that she could continue tagging along with them.
When they reached the destination, Zi Yi said to He Fei, “I’m thirsty. Go buy me a bottle of mineral water.”
He Fei glanced around, saw a shop not far away from them, and nodded. “Ok, wait for me here,” he said and got out of the car before walking in the direction of the shop.
Zi Yi turned to get out of the car after He Fei left.
Zi Lian looked at her and subconsciously lowered her voice as she asked, “Yiyi, where are you going?”
“I’m getting out of here and leaving the opportunity to you.”
When she heard her, her eyes widened in shock.
How did this idiot notice that I fancy the Fourth Young Master He?
Not long later, Zi Yi had already walked far away.
He Fei had quickly returned after he bought the water. When he did not see Zi Yi standing beside Zi Lian, he asked, “Where’s Little Yiyi?”
He checked his surroundings after asking.
Zi Lian used a subtle loving gaze and looked at him as she said, “Yiyi said she had something on and will be leaving first. She asked us to wait for her.”
He Fei unconsciously frowned, took out his phone, and called Zi Yi. A mechanical voice echoed that the other party’s phone was turned off.
Zi Lian had an expression of helplessness. “Yiyi has always been like this and would always act on her own. Why don’t we… find a place and wait for her.”
He Fei glanced at Zi Lian with a cold gaze and turned to walk in the direction of his car.
Zi Lian never expected He Fei’s mood to change so suddenly. Her heart palpitated. But when she thought of how rare this moment was, she hastily suppressed her emotions and strode towards him.
