Chapter 1145: Chapter 1145: Glutton

Yang Xiaoxi snorted, "If we have to keep distance, we will—I wasn’t planning on getting too close to anyone anyway. I’m telling you, it’s not because I’m compromising with you, I’m respecting love."

She didn’t know if she liked Cheng Feiyang, but she felt different about him compared to others. When Cheng Feiyang said he liked her, her heart filled with joy.

This feeling was very special, and she certainly didn’t dislike it.

Hearing these words, Cheng Feiyang instantly felt relieved. "Yang Xiaoxi, remember what you’re saying now—if you dare go against it later, I’ll go complain to Mianmian and Nan."

"In that case, you’d better remember too. If I can do it, so can you. If there are any more scandals like the one with Fu Yu, I won’t accept it," Yang Xiaoxi retorted strongly, determined that Cheng Feiyang must fulfill his part as she did hers.

"Pinky swear."

Cheng Feiyang extended his pinky, but Yang Xiaoxi disdainfully slapped it away.

"We’re all adults here, stop being so childish."

Cheng Feiyang was speechless—Yang Xiaoxi and He Xiaobei had done their fair share of such things. Was it childish only when he did it?

Humph! Women.

...

Elsewhere.

Lu Siyuan stood in a downtown luxury hotel, watching the lighting of the gambling area, and chain-smoking. It had been seven or eight hours since he’d come back, yet Shen Mianmian hadn’t called once; it looked like she had completely forgotten about him.

Today, after he landed, he was overjoyed thinking he would see Shen Mianmian coming to pick him up. But he ended up disappointed. Thinking Shen Mianmian might be busy and hadn’t arrived yet, he bought a newspaper to read while he waited.

All he saw in the newspaper, however, was news about He Nan.

While he was genuinely happy to learn that He Nan was alive, his happiness was tinged with disappointment.

As in the past, anything concerning He Nan was always Shen Mianmian’s top priority. She forgot he was coming back today and even forgot to call him.

Lu Siyuan didn’t know what he was thinking. He didn’t call Shen Mianmian either, stubbornly waiting for her to remember him and make the first move. He ended up waiting until midnight.

Agitated, he stubbed out his cigarette and turned to head to the restroom.

...

The next day.

When Shen Mianmian got up, He Nan had already left the house. Hearing some noise, Milk Bun came in from outside.

"Mommy, Daddy has already gone out. He made breakfast for you, come and eat quickly."

After freshening up, Shen Mianmian came out and saw that He Xiaobei had already laid the breakfast on the stone table. She sat down and took a sip of porridge, then asked, "Did Dad go to a press conference?"

"Yes," replied He Xiaobei. "Dad didn’t want me to disturb your sleep. He said he’d make us something delicious when he comes back at noon."

"Foodie," Shen Mianmian chuckled, drank a bowl of porridge, and ate an egg. Glancing at the time, she suddenly panicked, "Oh no! You’re going to be late."

He Xiaobei sighed, "Mommy, don’t worry. Dad already asked for leave on my behalf. I’m only going back to school tomorrow."

"...Okay!"

Shen Mianmian sat back to eat, content that He Xiaobei, with his good academic performance and still being in kindergarten, wouldn’t be affected by missing a day.

"I’m heading to the set soon. Uncle Liu will take you to grandma’s house to play for a while, and I’ll pick you up after I finish filming."

He Xiaobei nodded in agreement. "Mommy, what time will you finish work?"

Shen Mianmian replied, "Just three scenes today, so I should be done by three or four in the afternoon."
