TCBHIWAF Chapter 94

Chapter 94 Let Her Misunderstand

Half an hour later, two cars slowly drove into the manor. The manor in Jing City at the end of March was like a refreshing pastoral painting, filled with vitality everywhere.

As soon as they entered the garden, a large patch of strawberries came into view. Each strawberry was like a ruby ​​embedded among the emerald green leaves, fresh and dripping with juice.

Next to it was a row of cherry trees, with branches full of slightly red cherries, like shy young girls, modestly displaying themselves.

In the corner, the mulberry trees had also produced light red fruits, swaying gently in the breeze.

Bai Shiya got out of the car and enthusiastically greeted everyone.

“Let’s go pick strawberries. These strawberries look so sweet. We can pick other fruits too. Let’s pick some and take them back to try.”

Shen Qianqian responded obediently, her eyes full of anticipation.

The group walked towards the strawberry field. Lin Yu was unwilling to leave Ye Xingchen for a moment, closely following beside him, step by step.

Every time Ye Xingchen took a step, Lin Yu quickly followed, his eyes always glued to Ye Xingchen, as if afraid he would disappear.

Bai Shiya looked back at this scene and couldn’t help frowning, a trace of helplessness and doubt flashing in her eyes.

She really didn’t understand why her son was following Ye Xingchen so closely, and in this great opportunity to bring them together, he didn’t put his mind on Shen Qianqian at all.

Shen Qianqian also noticed Lin Yu’s strangeness and felt a little lost, but still tried to find an opportunity to get close to him.

She walked to a strawberry plant, gently picked a large, plump strawberry, handed it to Lin Yu, and said with a smile: “Brother Yu, try this, it looks so sweet.”

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Ye Xingchen, seeing Ye Xingchen frowning slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of jealousy.

Lin Yu hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Qianqian, you can eat it yourself, I don’t really want to eat it.” After saying that, he moved closer to Ye Xingchen.

Seeing this, Bai Shiya couldn’t help but say: “What’s wrong with you, child? Qianqian is kindly giving you a strawberry, you should take it.”

Lin Yu was a little embarrassed, and stammered, “Mom, I… I really don’t have much appetite right now.”

Bai Shiya was secretly worried, not knowing how to bring them together.

After pondering for a moment…

Bai Shiya pulled Shen Qianqian towards the cherry trees, saying as they walked: “Qianqian, the cherries over there look good too, let’s go take a look.”

Shen Qianqian turned her head back every few steps, her eyes full of disappointment.

Ye Xingchen watched them walk away, turned to look at Lin Yu, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly, with a hint of teasing: “You, just now you were so nervous, as if I was about to be snatched away.”

Lin Yu scratched his head embarrassedly, his eyes sincere.

“Of course, I’m just afraid you’ll misunderstand. From beginning to end, there’s only you in my heart, how could I casually accept things from others?”

The two walked slowly along the path…

At this moment.

Lin Yu stopped to pick some cherries.

He picked the reddest cherry and handed it to Ye Xingchen: “Try this, it shouldn’t be so sour.”

Ye Xingchen took it and put it in his mouth, frowning slightly but quickly relaxing.

“Well, it’s okay, still a little sour.”

Bai Shiya’s voice came from not far away: “Yu, Xingchen, come to the mulberries, they look ripe.”

Lin Yu and Ye Xingchen looked at each other, both with helpless expressions, and then walked side by side towards Bai Shiya’s direction.

When they arrived at the mulberry tree, Bai Shiya had already picked a basket full of mulberries. She handed the basket to Lin Yu.

“Son, take this basket of mulberries to Qianqian, she’s been talking about you all the way, she’s sincere to you.”

Lin Yu looked embarrassed and subconsciously looked at Ye Xingchen.

Ye Xingchen signaled him to take it first.

Lin Yu had no choice but to take the basket, took a deep breath, and walked towards Shen Qianqian with a brave face.

Ye Xingchen watched from behind, his eyes fixed on Lin Yu.

He also wanted to see how Yu would respond.

Lin Yu, holding the basket of mulberries, walked up to Shen Qianqian and handed it to her.

Shen Qianqian was stunned for a moment, then immediately took it with surprise, “Brother Yu, thank you.”

Seeing her like this, Lin Yu knew that he couldn’t be wishy-washy, otherwise she would only sink deeper.

“Qianqian, don’t misunderstand, I’ve always only treated you as a younger sister.”

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Shen Qianqian’s face froze, and her eyes gradually turned red, her voice with a hint of choked sob:

“Brother Yu, I’m already so old, I’m not a child anymore. Haven’t you always been single? Why can’t you try to accept me?”

Lin Yu retorted without thinking: “I have someone I like.”

Shen Qianqian was startled, and asked, “Who is it? Tell me?” A piece of news suddenly flashed in her mind, “Is it Xia Meng?”

Lin Yu’s mind turned, thinking that it might be better to let her misunderstand, so he nodded and admitted: “Yes.”

Shen Qianqian couldn’t hold back anymore, and tears welled up in her eyes.

“I… I understand.”

At this moment, Bai Shiya saw Shen Qianqian crying from not far away, and hurried forward.

“Qianqian, what’s wrong with you? Why are you crying?” She turned to look at Lin Yu, and asked, “What did you say?”

Lin Yu mustered his courage and said loudly: “Mom, I have someone I like, don’t try to match me up anymore in the future.”

Bai Shiya was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: “Who is it?”

Lin Yu continued to use Xia Meng as a shield: “Mom, it’s Xia Meng.”

Bai Shiya was about to ask who Xia Meng was, but her eyes swept to Shen Qianqian, who was sobbing beside her, and felt that this was not the time to ask in detail, so she could only helplessly say: “Qianqian, it’s getting late today, let’s go, I’ll take you home first.”

As she said that, she gently put her arm around Shen Qianqian’s shoulder and led her towards the outside of the manor.

Lin Yu watched their backs and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Xingchen didn’t know when he had walked to his side, and teased in a low voice: “Using Xia Meng as a cover, you’re really something.”

Lin Yu shook his head with a wry smile: “There’s no way, I have to solve this urgent problem first.”

But he knew clearly in his heart that using this excuse was just a temporary expedient.

After Bai Shiya left with Shen Qianqian, the atmosphere in the manor instantly became much more relaxed.

Lin Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, turned and grabbed Ye Xingchen’s hand, his eyes full of anticipation.

“Now that we’re here, let’s go pick more fruit, we didn’t pick well just now.”

Ye Xingchen looked at Lin Yu’s eager look, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and said indulgently: “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

The two once again shuttled through the orchard, the sunlight shining through the gaps in the branches and leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.

They joked and frolicked while carefully selecting ripe fruits.

Lin Yu tiptoed, reached out and picked a plump cherry, and handed it to Ye Xingchen’s mouth: “Try this, it must be especially sweet.”

Ye Xingchen smiled and opened his mouth to bite it, the juice overflowing in his mouth, the sweet and sour taste just right.

“Well, it is indeed sweet.” Ye Xingchen squinted slightly and nodded in praise.

Before long, the two’s baskets were filled with all kinds of fruits.

Lin Yu was still not satisfied, his eyes shining brightly as he looked at Ye Xingchen.

“My wine cellar has a lot of red wine treasured, I’ll take you to try it.”

“Okay!” Ye Xingchen readily agreed, and followed Lin Yu to the wine cellar.
