✔The Villain And The Cannon Fodder's Mother (Book 1)

(141) No Wonder You Are Still Single!

Lin Yiyi was a little nervous as well…

Perhaps, Ms. Lin Ping was right after all. There was an ulterior motive behind all of his visits. 

This was the first time someone would be professing his love to her in her two lifetimes combined.

She felt a bit emotional!

Lin Yiyi took a deep breath and listened attentively. 

Lu Xun took a deep breath and finally said, “Can I add you on WeChat?”

He had said it out loud, finally!

CEO Lu let out a sigh of relief. He had wanted to add her on WeChat for a while now, but never had the opportunity to ask her about it. 

He was so mad the other day after watching that pair of annoying father and son duo asking her for her WeChat shamelessly that he had stomach pain that night.

Lin Yiyi, “……”

She decided to take back what she had said. 

This Lu guy was nothing but a foodie! Who said he was interested in her?! No way!

Lin Yiyi was a little bit mad at herself. 

How could she have foolishly thought that he was going to profess his love for her earlier?

Must because of all the crazy thoughts that Ms. Lin Ping had put into her head the night before!

Plus, she didn’t sleep very well all night long….

Lin Yiyi pulled out her cellphone numbly. 

And that’s when she saw that Lu Xun had already happily added her. 

What was this mental exhaustion that she was feeling all of a sudden?

Finally, it was Lu Xun who walked the Xinri Media crew out of the office. 

Lu Xun, who had just added Lin Yiyi on his Wechat, was overwhelmed by joy. There was even a little person twirling and dancing ballet in his heart right now…

Lin Yiyi felt that not even concealer could cover up her dark circles right now!

Before she took off, she heard Lu Xun asking her bashfully, “Emm… can I still go over to your place for dinner?”

Dinner? Did he just say dinner?!

Lin Yiyi refused to admit that she was angry because she felt beyond humiliated and only left him with the angry back of her head. 

On their way back to the office, Lin Yiyi had Tao Jiahui and the rest headed back first. 

She was still dizzy from lack of sleep from the night before. She planned to go home and take a nap.

She didn’t need to be in the meeting today…

She should never have gone!

Lin Yiyi was not happy. 

Mr. Gu was on the phone when she arrived home. 

The moment that he saw her, he was startled like he had seen a ghost. He even lowered the volume he was talking into the phone. 

After watching his ghost-like stepdaughter went upstairs looking defeated, Gu Shishi finally asked in an accusatory tone into the phone, “What have you done to Yiyi today? She looks like she is in a bad mood.”

Owing to his wife’s handywork, there were spies planted all over Xinri Media. 

Worried that her daughter was being slow, Ms. Lin Ping had asked around early that morning and learned that her daughter had gone over to Shengshi Entertaining.

What did that tell her?

That told her that there was something going on between the two!

Mr. Gu couldn’t contain himself and gave Lu Xun a call. 

Lu Xun was very much at loss on the other end of the phone. 

He played over everything that had unfolded today in his head and finally said, “I didn’t do anything to her. I even applied concealer on her but she still didn’t say much.”

That had piqued Mr. Gu Chengyi’s interest. “You applied concealer on her? With your hand? Was it what I am thinking?”

The scene of a young man and woman sitting facing each other looking tenderly into each other’s eyes immediately formed inside Mr. Gu’s head.

And then the young man gently lifted the girl’s chin with one hand and lightly stroked her cheek with his other hand…

He got a little excited all of a sudden and asked, “Then what? What did you say to her?”

Most importantly, did you profess your love for her?

Oh. My. Gosh.

He felt that living vicariously through them already made him feel younger.

“And then…. And then I asked her if I can add her on WeChat,” replied Lu Xun truthfully. 

Mr. Gu Chengyi, “……”

He felt emotionally exhausted. Even he wanted to go take a nap. 

The phone call went on. 

From the other end of the phone, Lu Xun asked cautiously and somewhat shyly, “Emm, Lao Gu, what say I come over for dinner tonight?”

Was food all you ever think about?! No wonder you are still single!
