Chapter 1427: The Scheme Succeeds (Part 2)

Putting Song Xiaoxi down, she walked over to Ye Yang and made a pleading gesture: "I’m afraid she’ll cause trouble, so I’m going down to make her something to eat. Please keep her company, I’m counting on you."

"Sure, I don’t have anything else to do anyway."

"Thank you!" Song Jiaqi, who was kept in the dark, still looked very grateful.

"But—"

Song Jiaqi stopped again: "But?"

"I’m hungry too..."

Song Jiaqi burst into laughter: "Got it, I’ll make a portion for you too. You keep an eye on Xiaoxi for me first."

Ye Yang gave an "OK" gesture and closed the door after entering.

"She’s gone down," he said softly.

Only then did Song Xiaoxi open her eyes, climbing up from the bed and whispered, "Oh... I almost suffocated! So hot! Oppa! How was my acting?"

Ye Yang gave her a thumbs up: "Fantastic! Professional actor level."

"I’m so hot!" Song Xiaoxi tossed off the covers and fanned herself with her hand.

"That won’t do!" Ye Yang walked over and covered her with the quilt again. "If the heat escapes, you’ll be exposed when Song Jiaqi comes back!"

"But I’m really hot..." Song Xiaoxi looked at him pitifully.

"Do you still want to eat delicious food every day and stay here with me?"

In just a second, Song Xiaoxi heroically made a decision, pulling out the hot water bottle from under the quilt to keep her forehead warm: "Let the temperature get more intense!"

Ye Yang chuckled, "That’s not necessary."

Timing it just right, Song Xiaoxi lay back in the quilt, wrapped tightly, leaving only a small head exposed, looking at Ye Yang: "Oppa... Is it not good for us to deceive Da Bao like this? I didn’t know Da Bao was so worried about me..."

"Of course, she’s worried about you," Ye Yang patted her little head, "Last time when you got sick and fell asleep, she took care of you overnight."

The more Ye Yang spoke, the more uncomfortable Song Xiaoxi felt. "Yet I’m deceiving her... Seems pretty bad..."

"Then I’ll go tell her you’re faking it, let her go back, and we’ll order takeout every day from now on."

"No, no!" Song Xiaoxi grabbed him, "Then... let’s just deceive her this once..."

After a while, they heard footsteps, and Ye Yang signaled to Song Xiaoxi.

When Song Jiaqi opened the door, she saw Ye Yang gently patting Song Xiaoxi, a very cozy and harmonious scene.

For a moment, Song Jiaqi was stunned.

If they knew each other’s identities, the scene would certainly be more harmonious.

"Was Xiaoxi causing any trouble?"

"No," Ye Yang returned to a serious demeanor, "She was very well-behaved, didn’t cause any fuss."

Song Jiaqi smiled and said, "That’s because you’re here. Otherwise, she would’ve kicked up a fuss long ago."

"I just brought Xiaoxi’s serving up here, you’ll have to get your own."

It was rather plain noodles, but nevertheless, Ye Yang could smell the aroma.

He didn’t know how she did it; every dish she made was so unique, totally different from what the maid cooked.

That night, like last time, Song Jiaqi took care of Xiaoxi, except this time, Ye Yang was there in the room with them as well.

No other reason but to cover for Song Xiaoxi in case there were any signs of exposure.

Several times, it was almost revealed, but Ye Yang managed to pull it back every time. In the end, their scheme succeeded!
