Chapter 62 - "I Have A Problem"

"Yes, young master, we have a business meeting after this. So...let's go, young master. Else we will be late to the meeting."

Yu Ziyuan turned her head around, ignoring Lai Jiayi. She then walked to the car along with Zhao Yang and Zhao Yun next to her.

From behind, the three of them looked like a perfect little family.

Lai Jiayi slightly opened her mouth. The girl froze on the spot. The image of Zhao Yang casually threw her a glance as if she was a stranger once again replayed in her mind.

'Did I...make him angry? What– I didn't do anything!!'

Lai Jiayi's eyes darkened. Her body refused to move even though she watched the three people getting further away from her.

'What to do? My feet...won't move…'

[Jia, do something, quack!! Else that fox will bring Zhao Yang away!!] Yaya suddenly shouted in Lai Jiayi's mind, slapping the girl's out of her thoughts.

[Even if Zhao Yang treats you coldly, ignore it, quack!! Quick, talk to him!!] Yaya pecked Lai Jiayi's cheek. The duck's face turned red from suppressed anger.

'I know Jia is shocked because Zhao Yang treats her like a stranger even when usually, he will say goodbye or something. But...Jia, get yourself together!'

[Hurry, quack!!] Yaya urged.

Lai Jiayi instantly shook her head. The girl slapped her cheeks with both of her hands to regain her focus. Once she felt the stinging pain, Lai Jiayi could ignore all the bad feelings in her heart.

The girl immediately dashed toward Zhao Yang with all of her might. The girl managed to arrive just before Zhao Yang entered the car.

"B-boss, wait!" Lai Jiayi didn't think much. She just pulled Zhao Yang's arm, not realizing that right now, she came into contact with a man.

"P-please wait." Lai Jiayi tugged Zhao Yang's arm, making the man halt his steps. His body stiffened for a few seconds before he slowly turned around. Tianjin, who was floating around the man's head, also turned around.

"What is it?" Zhao Yang looked down at Lai Jiayi with a cold expression. Yet, the guy didn't slap away Lai Jiayi's hand on his arm.

On the contrary, he stole a glance at it.

'Is she grabbing my arm? What about her phobia?'

Once Zhao Yang answered, Lai Jiayi's eyes lit up. The girl peeked at Yu Ziyuan inside the car, and the woman was looking at her with a glare.

Lai Jiayi couldn't help but put a smile on her face.

'Heh, I won't let Zhao Yang go with you!'

The girl tugged Zhao Yang's arm again with her fingers as she murmured,

"I-i...I have a problem…"

Just one sentence from the girl made Zhao Yang freeze on the spot. The guy squinted his eyes as he gawked the girl in front of him.

'Problem? Could it be...she is bullied again?'

Zhao Yang clenched his jaw. He knitted his eyebrows while opening his mouth.

"What problem?"

The man's tone was still as unfriendly as before, but this time, it sounded a bit gentler.

Lai Jiayi silently sighed in relief.

'I know it. Saying I have a problem is the best way to gain this man's sympathy!'

Lai Jiayi didn't waste time and immediately got into her acting mode. The girl peeked at the people behind her, the one inside the car since the car door wasn't closed yet.

"T-that...can I...talk with b-boss...alone?" Lai Jiayi slowly released Zhao Yang's arm and lowered her head. The girl played with her fingers and twisted her toes.

She looked scared, confused, and nervous at the same time. Anyone would instantly think like this.

Zhao Yang's breath stilled. He kept his eyes on Lai Jiayi for a few seconds before he let out a big sigh.

"Fine. Let's go there." Zhao Yang pointed at the vast yard behind Lai Jiayi. The guy then looked back at Zhao Yun and Yu Ziyuan inside the car.

"Yun Yun, wait here. Tianjin will stay with you. It won't take long." Zhao Yang waved his hand. He left the dumbfounded Yu Ziyuan at the seat next to the driver seat.

'What? That boss...is leaving his beloved nephew because of that b*tch??'

Yu Ziyuan's face turned dark while Chu Feng stared at Lai Jiayi and Zhao Yang with wide eyes.

'What the– what's going on with those two? Why the heck they look so close with each other?!'

None of the women felt good witnessing Lai Jiayi left with Zhao Yang. Only Zhao Yun had a smile on his face as he waved his hand.

"Go on, uncle. I'll wait here!" The boy then looked at Tianjin, who was still watching Zhao Yang's back. She looked like a worrywart guardian dog.

"Don't worry. They are just going to discuss for a while." Zhao Yun grinned. "Maybe miss just get another problem that needs my uncle's help."

"...mm." Tianjin nodded. She didn't say anything afterward and just closed the car door. Now the wind won't get inside the car, but they could still see Zhao Yang and Lai Jiayi's back figure.

While the people inside the car had various emotions regarding those two, the girl herself tried to calm down her heart. At this moment, she was walking side-by-side with Zhao Yang.

And...the distance between them was less than a meter!

BA-THUMP. BA-THUMP.

'Should I add a distance between us? But what if Zhao Yang thinks badly of me because of that…'

Lai Jiayi bit her lips. The girl crumpled her right palm with her left palm as she walked further away from the car since they were searching for a silent place without people.

'What...to do?'
