“Sorry, sorry, please continue!” Xiao Lingyu covered her mouth with one hand and fanned her face with the other.
However, the way she looked at Gong Tianhao was obviously different.
“..”. Gong Tianhao’s face was full of black lines. He straightened Xiao Lingyu’s head and met her gaze. Gritting his teeth, he said, “After spending so much time together, do you think I bat for the other team?”
Xiao Lingyu still had a smile on her face. She shook her head and said, “Of course not.” But her answer was perfunctory.
‘When Yan Siming saw that Gong Tianhao’s hands were holding Xiao Lingyu’s face, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
He pulled Gong Tianhao’s hands away from Xiao Lingyu’s face and said, “Mr. Gong, you don’t need to touch Yu’Er to have her answer a question.”
Gong Tianhao’s sharp eyes shot straight at Yan Siming and said fiercely, “Chairman Yan, aren’t you being too meddlesome? What does it have to do with you that my girlfriend and I are flirting?”
Yan Siming was stunned and found it unbelievable. He asked suspiciously, “Girlfriend… girlfriend?”
As if to prove his words, Gong Tianhao held Xiao Lingyu’s neck with one hand and Xiao Lingyu’s small hand with the other and declared his sovereignty, “Yes, Yu ‘Er is my girlfriend, and I, Gong Tianhao, am Xiao Lingyu’s boyfriend!”
Yan Siming’s pupils constricted, and his expression was one of shock!
He did not dare to believe it, nor did he want to believe it!
“Have Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu become boyfriend and girlfriend so quickly?
‘Is this possible?
Yan Siming was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses and said with a smile,
“Mtr. Gong, don’t go claiming others as your girlfriend. Yu Er, don’t be fooled by him. Actually, I heard another rumor about him. Yu ‘Er, do you want to hear it?”
Hearing Gong Tianhao call Xiao Lingyu Yu’Er, Yan Siming also didn’t want to lose.
Gong Tianhao narrowed his eyes and swept his sharp gaze across Yan Siming’s face. ‘It seems like he had come prepared this time.
Yan Siming did not wait for Xiao Lingyu to reply and continued, “The rumor is that he can’t get it up around women.”
The corner of Xiao Lingyu’s mouth twitched violently this time.
If that was true, how did the child in her stomach come to be?
However, Xiao Lingyu, who was well aware of this, deliberately looked at Gong Tianhao with a strange expression.
The corners of Yan Siming’s lips curled up, and a smile appeared on his face. There was a hint of pride on his face. His every battle with Gong Tianhao before this, he had lost.
But this time, he had the victory in his hand.
The corners of Gong Tianhao’s lips twitched seeing Xiao Lingyu, who was enjoying the show. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, “Yu ‘Er, how about we test out those rumors immediately?”
Xiao Lingyu immediately quivered and quickly waved her hand, “T’ll leave this opportunity to some other men. I don’t need it.”
Gong Tianhao,
Yan Siming watched from the side and almost sang.
However, he didn’t sing. He just drank a few cups of tea happily.
He finally had the upper hand.
He was in a good mood!
‘Hmm. This herbal tea is really good. Maybe I should bring some back with me later. But if people see me with it, won’t they laugh at me? O well. I shouldn’t care that much. As long as it is of good use.’
Gong Tianhao looked at Yan Siming, who was smiling happily. He also took a teacup and poured himself a small cup of tea. He took a sip. This tea was indeed refreshing and delicious. It was indeed a good product to avoid the summer heat.
Gong Tianhao suddenly said, “Chairman Yan, I heard that Old Master Yan forbade you from coming to Taoyuan Village. Did you get Old Master Yan’s permission this time?”
Yan Siming’s heart immediately chilled. ‘Gong Tianhao, this horrible man. He must be doing this on purpose.’
His grandfather forbade him to come to Taoyuan Village because he wanted to stop his relationship with Xiao Lingyu.
His grandfather explicitly told him that he would never allow him to marry Xiao Lingyu.
Previously, when Old Master Yan came to Taoyuan Village, he wanted to build a house to accompany his old leader. However, after they returned to City Z, this matter was never mentioned again.
There were a few times when Yan Siming actively brought this up, but his grandfather pretended to be deaf.
Old Master Yan stated his decision. Yan Siming tried to mediate and express his determination, but he was stopped by Old Master Yan every time.
Old Master Yan obviously knew what Yan Siming wanted to say, but he didn’t want to listen.
‘When Yan Siming pushed, his grandfather would throw a tantrum until Yan Siming was forced to apologize. His grandfather was old. He couldn’t anger him that often. Therefore, Yan Siming had to rely on a delaying tactic.
Of course, it was impossible for Yan Siming to give up just because of his family’s resistance. He was still very concerned about matters related to Xiao Lingyu.
Furthermore, he had a powerful love rival living in Taoyuan Village.
Once Gong Tianhao brought up Old Master Yan, Yan Siming subconsciously looked at Xiao Lingyu’s reaction.
He wanted to see what kind of expression she would have on her face.
She was expressionless… No, she was smiling faintly.
There was no trace of sadness.
Xiao Lingyu was a smart person. She definitely understood Old Master Yan’s stance.
However, Xiao Lingyu did not seem to take it to heart.
Yan Siming was secretly disappointed.
This meant that she didn’t care. This meant that Xiao Lingyu didn’t care about him like how a woman would care about a man.
However, Yan Siming couldn’t give up.
Yan Siming smiled and replied, “It seems that Mr. Gong is very concerned about my matters. I can’t help but be reminded of the rumors. Mr. Gong, are you interested in me?”
“PEFT!” Xiao Lingyu had just taken a sip of water when she heard Yan Siming’s words and immediately spat it all out.
Unfortunately, the person sitting opposite her was Yan Siming. Therefore, the water went on Yan Siming’s face.
“Cough cough…” Xiao Lingyu choked and coughed violently.
‘Is this Yan Siming crazy? In order to win Gong Tianhao in a quarrel, he’d say something like that? She had a new understanding of Yan Siming.
Gong Tianhao looked at Yan Siming’s miserable state, and the corners of his mouth curled up. However, he patted Xiao Lingyu’s back gently and said in a gentle but somewhat reproachful tone, “I always tell you to drink slowly and eat slowly.”
They sounded like a pair of lovers.
Xiao Lingyu coughed twice. When she caught her breath, she saw Yan Siming’s wet face, and she apologized, “Brother Yan, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to spray water all over your face.”
She looked around, pointed at the table, and then pointed at the well, “Why don’t you use the well? The water in the well is very cool.”
Yan Siming took out a few pieces of tissue to wipe his face, then wiped his clothes, and then said, “Alright.”
‘With that, he got up and went to the well.
However, when he reached the well, he frowned again.
He didn’t see the faucet, but he saw a pump. Where was the water going to come from?
After some observation, Yan Siming realized the water had to be extracted manually. One had to move the handle up and down to apply the pressure to the underground water.
He started to pump the water. The water sprayed out.
Yan Siming was tall. He stood right at the water outlet. The water instantly sprayed all over his feet.
He reacted and retreated quickly, but the water still splashed onto his legs.
Xiao Lingyu, who was watching from the side, was slightly stunned. Then, she patted her head lightly.
She did not expect Yan Siming not to know how to use a manual well pump!
