Chapter 1022: 1007, Jue and Zhanâs Couple Extra (6) Chapter 1022: 1007, Jue and Zhanâs Couple Extra (6) If it hadnât been for him, she might have really lost her grandfather.
Bai Jue turned his face, the cheap smile on his face made one really want to punch him, âJust saying thank you isnât enough, how about promising yourself to me, I prefer that.â
Looking at the handsome face close at hand, devilishly alluring, Zhan Mingyan quickly stretched out her hand to push him away, âItâs too hot, get away from me, itâs suffocating.â
The way she said it, it was as clear as telling thereâs no silver in here.
Bai Jue, with sharp eyes, spotted her slightly red ear tips, a teasing smile appearing in his eyes, âYour topic-changing skills are a bit poor.â
âWhat are you talking about, I donât understand,â Zhan Mingyan turned her head, looking at the stars in the sky, âLook, there are a lot of stars out tonight.â
âZhan Mingyan, do you want to marry me?â Bai Jue looked at her flushed side face and suddenly had the thought of marriage.
Zhan Mingyanâs hand, resting by her side, clenched tightly, her heartbeat inadvertently slowed down a beat.
Every other sound around her couldnât reach her ears, only the manâs words, âDo you want to marry meâ kept echoing in her mind.
Seeing her speechless, Bai Jue took her hand, âDoes no answer mean yes by default?â
âWho says that.â Zhan Mingyan pulled back her hand, almost biting her own tongue.
Bai Jue asked, âSo, is that a yes or a no?â
âNo!â He asked straightforwardly, Zhan Mingyan answered just as plainly.
âWhy?â Bai Jue felt like his little heart couldnât take it.
Zhan Mingyan replied, âYour probation period isnât over yet, and I havenât brought you to meet the parents, itâs too early to talk about marriage now.â
âWho says I havenât met the parents, didnât I meet them today?â Bai Jue countered.
Zhan Mingyan rolled her eyes at him and said in a snarky tone, âWho meets the parents at the hospital?â
âThen when will you take me to meet your parents?â Bai Jue persistently asked.
To marry a wife, the first thing is to have a thick skin.
Zhan Mingyan glanced at him, âWhatâs the rush.â
Sheâs not in a hurry, whatâs he being anxious about.
âOf course, Iâm in a hurry to get a wife, if you donât believe me, ask Quan Jingwu and the others,â Bai Jue said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Zhan Mingyan covered his mouth, âAlright, enough talking, itâs not time yet anyway.â
Who proposes marriage with just a dry, âDo you want to marry me?â
Even though sheâs a tomboy, sheâs still a woman, isnât she?
With no sincerity at all, he expects her to marry him.
Soââhardââah!
âThen, what if I go meet your parents myself?â If she wouldnât accompany him, he could just go to them by himself.
Zhan Mingyan burst out laughing, âAre you crazy, who goes to meet the parents by themselves?â
Bai Jue asked, âIs that not okay?â
Zhan Mingyan pinched his face hard, âNo, itâs not.â
âI think your mom liked me very much.â Bai Jue boasted confidently.
âWhich eye of yours saw that?â
âBoth eyes saw it, isnât there a saying, the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she becomes? I think your dad also has a good impression of me,â Bai Jue felt very good about himself.
Zhan Mingyan scoffed, âYou must have woken up confused today, spouting all kinds of nonsense.â
The evening breeze was gentle, and the two of them bantered back and forth, the air brimming with sweet vibes.
âIt smells so good!â
Zhan Mingyan sniffed hard, it seemed like the smell of roasted sweet potatoes.
Following the scent, she saw it was coming from a small shop across the street.
âWant to eat?â Bai Jue looked at her with an enticing smile, his eyes sparkling with charm.
âMhm, mhm.â
âWait here.â Bai Jue stood up, then tossed his coat to her, âWear it, donât catch a cold.â
Zhan Mingyan hugged his coat, which still carried his faint body warmth, and watched him cross the street and queue up at the storefront, feeling a warmth envelop her heart.
She had a sudden inspiration, took out her phone, and snapped a photo of Bai Jueâs back.
âBig dummy!â
It wasnât long before Bai Jue returned with a small bag.
âIt smells so good, so good.â
Zhan Mingyanâs eyes lit up as she looked at the bag in his hand, and Bai Jue helped her take out a sweet potato, peeling its skin for her.
âEat.â
Zhan Mingyan grinned, stretching her hand to receive the sweet potato and started nibbling.
The warm sweet potato tasted especially delightful on a cool autumn night.
âWant to try some?â Zhan Mingyan, enjoying her snack, suddenly turned her gaze to the person beside her and asked.
Bai Jue wasnât particularly interested in sweet potatoes, but since she had eaten from it, he was willing to take a bite, and he leaned in to bite where she had bitten.
âCough cough coughâŠâ
Although the roasted sweet potato was tasty, after just a few bites, her throat was unbearably dry.
Zhan Mingyanâs face turned red from coughing, and Bai Jue frowned, gently patting her back, âWhy eat so quickly, no oneâs competing with you for it.â
âCough coughâŠâ
Zhan Mingyan coughed a few times, successfully choking, causing her eyes to mist over, which made Bai Jueâs heart soften.
âWait here, Iâll go buy you some water.â
As soon as he spoke, he was up and running off in an instant.
âMiss Zhan?â
A tender voice, tinged with a trace of probing.
Zhan Mingyan lightly patted her chest, caught her breath, then looked up to see the delicately made-up face of the woman.
She seemed somewhat familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before.
âWho are you?â
âMiss Zhan, I saw you last time at the entrance to the Club, Brother He Min even talked to you,â Lou Xin said with a slight smile.
âIs there something you want?â Zhan Mingyan asked, her tone neutral and unenthusiastic.
Lou Xinâs gaze dropped to the roasted sweet potato in her hands, a sneer flitting through the depths of her eyes, but she maintained a proper smile on her face, âMiss Zhan, why are you sitting here eating roasted sweet potato so late? I actually thought I had mistaken someone else for you when I passed by.â
The pampered daughter of the Zhan Family, eating roasted sweet potato on the street, huh, it really lacked taste.
âIs there a problem with me eating a roasted sweet potato here?â Womenâs intuition is always accurate, and Zhan Mingyan could clearly sense some inexplicable hostility from the person in front of her.
âI didnât mean it like that, donât misunderstand,â Lou Xin hastily waved her hands and said.
Zhan Mingyan looked away, continuing to eat her roasted sweet potato.
âMiss Zhan, thereâs something I want to tell you.â Lou Xin stepped forward, her voice gentle, âThe truth is, I can see that Brother He Min really likes you, and if you donât feel the same, itâs better to tell him sooner rather than later. After all, leading someone on isnât too kind.â
The more Zhan Mingyan listened, the more uncomfortable she felt, âAre you Brother He Minâs girlfriend?â
What a joke, she and He Min had already made things clear a long time ago, what was this woman thinking, playing the big shot out of nowhere?
âBrother He Min treats me very well, weâre friends, and I canât bear to see him heartbroken,â Lou Xin bit her lip, her tender voice testing Zhan Mingyanâs patience.
âLittle Yannyan, whatâs wrong?â Bai Jue returned with the hot drink he bought, his gaze sweeping over Lou Xin, his deep eyes shimmering with an insightful gleam.
It was nighttime that day, and she was in the car, so Lou Xin hadnât seen Bai Jueâs face clearly. Now, seeing him head-on, she felt a flicker of attraction in her eyes.
