Le Tian’s father gave his daughter a helpless look. How could he not worry?
However, looking at his daughter, Le Tian’s father wondered if he was overthinking things.
While the whole family was still watching over Ding Yuejia while he had dinner, the doorbell rang.
Le Tian’s mother glanced at Le Tian, gesturing Le Tian to open the door.
Le Tian rolled her eyes and got up to open the door.
“Who—” Le Tian reached out to yank the door open. She paused when she saw the person standing outside.
Dong Feng stood at the door with a present in his hand. When Le Tian opened the door, there was a hint of a smile dancing at the corner of his lips. “I heard from someone that you live here, so I’m here to take a look.”
Le Tian really did not want to see Dong Feng at this moment. There was no other reason for that than because she did not want to have anything to do with him anymore.
“What are you doing here? This house doesn’t welcome you,” Le Tian said as she tried to close the door.
“Le Tian.” Dong Feng quickly reached out to hold the door open. He looked at Le Tian with anticipation. “I really don’t mean anything else. I just want to come and see you.”
“Le Tian, who’s that?” Seeing that Le Tian remained at the door, Le Tian’s mother walked out and asked. However, when she saw Dong Feng at the door, Le Tian’s mother pushed him out immediately. “What are you doing here? Don’t you think you’ve caused enough trouble for Le Tian in the past?”
“Auntie, I—” Dong Feng took a step back. “Auntie, back then, I was just—”
Ding! The elevator door suddenly opened.
Ding Junqi was clad in a black windbreaker, a pair of sunglasses, a facemask, and a baseball cap. He dressed as if someone could recognize him anytime.
Le Tian, “…”
Why did Le Tian feel like she had been caught cheating? No, no, this was not right.
Ding Junqi pulled down his sunglasses and facemask, revealing the handsome face was fitting for the Best Actor.
When Le Tian’s mother saw Ding Junqi, a big smile immediately blossomed on her face. She chuckled and went over to hold Ding Junqi’s hand. “Why didn’t you come back with Le Tian today?”
Le Tian, “…”
‘Mom, do you have any idea how misleading your words are?’
Ding Junqi put on his trademark expression that could deceive the world. He spoke as if he was currying favor with his elders, and he did it so blatantly.
“I had to deal with something just now, so I asked them to come over first,” Ding Junqi said and turned to look at Dong Feng. He pretended to be confused and asked, “This is?”
Le Tian sneered. She watched as the man continued his pretense.
“Oh, he knocked on the wrong door,” said Le Tian’s mother. She pulled Ding Junqi inside and kicked Le Tian. “Come in quickly.”
Le Tian yelped in pain and bent down to rub her ankle.
When Ding Junqi passed by her, he had a smug smile on his face.
Le Tian, “…”
This was the epitome of petty. He was definitely being too petty, okay?
Le Tian watched as Le Tian’s mother led Ding Junqi inside before turning around to Dong Feng. “You need to get out of here. I don’t need you to see me, and neither do my parents.”
Due to Ding Junqi’s appearance, Dong Feng’s entire mood seemed to be off.
“Le Tian, a man with so many scandalous rumors isn’t trustworthy,” Dong Feng growled.
Le Tian looked at Dong Feng with a smirk. “Then, is a man like you trustable? A good horse doesn’t turn back to old pastures[1]. Besides, this grass isn’t of good quality, to begin with. Get lost—”
Dong Feng tightened his grip on the gift box in his hand. “He’s not good enough for you.”
“That’s still better than you.” Le Tian enunciated each word clearly, not noticing that Ding Junqi had already approached her from behind.
[1] This is the literal translation for an idiom that means a person of integrity should not turn back to what they have given up. Now, it is also used to mean do not go back to your ex.
