Chapter 224 - 224 I've Been Waiting For Her

224 I’ve Been Waiting For Her

Xu Zheng’s brows furrowed even more. Father Xu and Mother Xu looked at each other and could not help but interrupt, “Is the man you are talking about really the current president of the Jing family, Jing Yan?”

“Yes, he used to be Miaomiao’s classmate,” Xu Meng washed a plate of grapes and placed them in front of He Miao, explaining to her parents calmly.

Father Xu’s eyes widened in shock and he looked at He Miao in disbelief. “I didn’t know you knew the Jing family!”

Xu Zheng glared at his brother unhappily and could not help but advise her, “It’s not easy to get into a rich family. Don’t forget how you broke off your engagement with Jing Yan.”

He was not too optimistic about the boy from the Jing family. Even though he knew that he was unparalleled in his family background, He Miao could stand at the highest point with her own strength. She did not need to rely on a man.

He Miao understood what the teacher meant, but she could not tell the others that Jing Yan liked her not because he had turned over a new leaf, but because he completely liked her, who had transmigrated into this book. She could only smile and give Xu Meng a look, signaling her to change the topic.

Xu Meng immediately understood. She pushed her uncle and complained, “Miaomiao and I are going to start a company. Why don’t you give us some substantial suggestions? What’s the point of talking about Jing Yan? As long as Miaomiao’s career can develop smoothly, we don’t have to worry about anything else!”

Xu Zheng thought about it and it made sense.

As long as He Miao developed well, he did not have to worry about Jing Yan’s change of heart. He did not even have to worry about this problem.

At the end of the day, a girl still needed to be independent before she could have enough confidence in a relationship.

After thinking it through, Xu Zheng began to help her think about the various problems related to the establishment of the company in detail.

They chatted all the way until noon before Mother Xu reminded them with a smile, “It’s time for lunch. I’ve booked a private room in the restaurant. It’s just about time to go now.”

“Then let’s go.” Xu Zheng was very happy to have a talent like He Miao among the students. He treated her as if she was his own daughter. He even took the initiative to help He Miao get her coat, which was hanging at the side, and whispered, “Later, order whatever you want to eat. You must eat until you’re full, understand?”

“I know.” He Miao nodded with a smile and followed Xu Meng’s family out of the door, chatting and laughing. Just as she got into Father Xu’s car, she caught a glimpse of the head of the car in the corner. She quickly opened the door and rushed over.

Jing Yan was sitting in the car, enjoying the warm air and scrolling through his phone in frustration. He was talking to his brothers in the group chat when he suddenly noticed a shadow over his head. He looked up in surprise and met He Miao’s shocked eyes.

She opened the car door and asked with a dark expression, “What are you still doing here? You haven’t left?”

The heater in the car was blown away by the cold wind, and Jing Yan, who was only wearing a thin coat, could not help but shiver.

He Miao quickly closed the door and got into the car from the front passenger seat. She asked again, “If I didn’t call you, were you planning to wait downstairs? Didn’t I tell you to go home first?”

“Why did you come out so quickly?” Jing Yan’s eyes widened in surprise and joy. He held He Miao’s hands and warmed them in his palms.

“We’re going to a restaurant to eat,” He Miao sighed and said.

“Oh.” Jing Yan lowered his eyes in disappointment and let go of her hand. “Then you guys go ahead, I’ll go eat in a bit.”

“Where are you going to eat?” He Miao asked with a frown.

Jing Yan took out his phone and randomly found a restaurant on the map. He pointed at it and said, “This one looks okay. Let’s go there. You can go and eat with them. Don’t worry about me.”

He Miao sighed deeply and said, “Wait for me here.” Then, she opened the door and got out of the car. She walked back to Xu Meng’s car and said something to it. Then, she turned back expressionlessly and sat back in the car. “You can come with us.”

“Really?” Jing Yan had been waiting for her to say this. He quickly drove the car to the back of the Xu family’s car and said happily, “I’ll pay the bill later. They don’t need to pay.”

He Miao raised her eyes and glared at him in condemnation, then turned her head to look out the window without saying a word.

Jing Yan knew what she was angry about. He could not help but hold her hand and coaxed her in a low voice, “I just can’t bear to leave. I won’t do it again, okay?”

“Are you an idiot?” He Miao sighed and patted his head. She could not help but lecture him, “Even if the heater is on, it’s not as warm in the car as at home. What if I don’t come out? Won’t you be freezing here for the whole day?”

“I really know my mistake, Miaomiao.”

The car in front had already started, so Jing Yan had no choice but to let go of He Miao’s hand and drive, though he still pitifully admitted his mistake.

How could He Miao really blame him? She was so touched. When Jing Yan reached out to beg her again, she softened her tone and said gently, “Let’s go home after dinner.”

“Alright!” Jing Yan was as happy as if he had found a treasure. He was always as childish as if Onion was in front of her.
