CH 46

In that vivid dream, when they were hugging in the car, he kissed her neck for a long time. It felt especially real, like the touch of skin on skin, the sweat on his shoulders, and the smell of his body.

There was only one thing that didn’t add up: He wasn’t dressed properly in the dream. Ye Yuqing got up from the bed and went to the kitchen to drink a large glass of cold water before suppressing the dryness in her heart.

Everything was Li Che’s fault! He asked her out of the blue if she wanted to take her clothes off, giving her a psychological suggestion for no reason.  This room smelled like him, so it seemed strange not to think about him.

Ye Yuqing sighed, although she did not dare in reality, but in her dream she was bold…

Even though it was the first time she had a dream like that, she didn’t think it was bad.

Ye Yuqing hurriedly ate her breakfast. She had been feeling a bit upbeat all morning, and bits and pieces of dreams kept running through her mind which really made it mind-blowing.

She sighed inwardly, fortunately she wouldn’t see Li Che for the next two days, otherwise she really didn’t know how to face him.

So the 20th birthday present had been useless all the time, and even the dream was just kissing the neck, no further.

Even though it had been raining for the past two days, Ye Yuqing had been in a good mood. Just after dinner today, Ye Yuqing received a call from her grandma.

Her grandmother told her to keep herself warm and wear more clothes on rainy days so she wouldn’t get sick. If she wanted to eat something, her  grandmother would likely send it over.

“Don’t worry, Grandma, I have everything I need here.” On the other end of the phone, there were more than one person.

Even though her son was looking at her all the time, the old woman still opened her mouth. “Yuqing, you’re working hard outside by yourself, and it’s making us feel uncomfortable. You are old enough this year to be able to think about your own problems. Do you have any ideas of your own?”

Ye Yuqing was stunned and didn’t say anything.

“Your father still cares about you and wants to introduce you to a guy. I helped you and checked on this man. His family is in good shape. He is also a doctoral student. If not, you should get together.”

“But I have a boyfriend,” said Ye Yuqing.

Suddenly, another person took over the telephone and said, “Where is your boyfriend, and why did I not know?  You didn’t bring him back either, so stop talking nonsense.”

Ye Yuqing: “…”

Zhao Yanyan chuckled lightly. “You are too honest, so you don’t have a boyfriend.”

Ye Yuqing wanted to say that she was dishonest,  she was so daring that she raised a college student who was not innocent.

That was extremely surprising.

Ye Yuqing: “However, I do not wish to fall in love or get married at this time.”

“I know you think you’re beautiful, but why don’t you get married?” A man spoke quickly.

Ye Yuqing heard it, this was her father.

Zhao Yanyan was anxious, so she told the old woman, “You still have to talk to her, because what we say doesn’t work.”

The old woman sighed and said helplessly, “Yuqing, why don’t you meet up with the man? If you truly don’t like it, meeting the man counts as an apology.”

“…” Ye Yuqing did not care at all about the couple’s opinions. The point, though, was that she can also choose not to fight and totally avoid them.

But grandma’s words, she couldn’t do anything, after all, she was the elder who raised her.

It’s just that this was not her grandmother alone, but also the grandmother of the brother and sister, and the mother of this man.

Ye Yuqing could tell that her grandparents had aged considerably and that their perspectives had changed significantly; they used to despise the fact that her father didn’t care about them or fulfill his father duties.

But now they were hoping to have a family harmony. Ye Yuqing spoke in a quiet tone, saying, “I know, I will consider it.”

“That’s good, you can go to work.”

The old lady hung up the phone and sighed, if not for her son coming to the door and explaining that the business was not doing well at the moment and he couldn’t upset the other party casually. He stated that he had previously consented to their meet, even though the two parties had not yet met or communicated.

If they kept this up, people would think they thought less of them and didn’t respect them.

After that, her son wouldn’t have to do business with that other party.

After confirming that the man’s conditions were good, the old lady agreed and was willing to help.

Seeing Ye Yuqing, the couple breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time put a smile on their faces. Usually Ye Yuqing listened to her grandmother’s words the most.

Zhao Yanyan had her own plans. Ye Yuqing could be considered a famous college student. She was attractive and had a pleasant demeanor. If she met the nephew of a customer, then this was also a tremendous favor.

The factory would not worry about sales in the future. Zhao Yanyan laughed. “Although the PhD student is well educated, he lacks significant financial resources. In the end, there is no benefit to studying hard. My daughter will eventually marry a wealthy man.”

“Yes.” The man nodded his head in agreement.

“Ye Yuqing is still working hard for a few thousand yuan a month. This man’s family has some connection and will help her.  When the time comes, let her be a primary school Chinese teacher, which will make her work easier. She can also take care of the children.”#pleasereadthischapteratfoxaholic.com

“You are right, she is also… it’s nothing, maybe I have to thank you in the future.”

The man smiled. “Of course, I also wish for her to have a better life and be able to assist her brother in the future…”

Ye Yuqing hung up the phone, thinking that it would be alright if it was only a meeting. She made it clear that she was in a relationship. Ye Yuqing did not wish to place her grandparents in an awkward position.

If she didn’t go, the couple would almost certainly ask Grandma to persuade her.

They wouldn’t give up.

―

On the day of dinner with Li Che’s friend, Ye Yuqing had planned ahead of time and was ready and waiting for him at home. She hurried downstairs when the other person called.

Li Che saw the woman next to him. She was dressed in a fuzzy coat, her hair was tied back, showing her forehead  but a scarf covered the other half of her face.

It was cute and fluffy.

He couldn’t stop himself from reaching out and pinching her cheek.

“Huh?” Ye Yuqing tilted her head, puzzled, and looked at him “Why are you pinching my face? Did I offend you?”

“I had you measured, and you have gained weight,” Li Che said.

“…”

Ye Yuqing gave a soft snort.

“Hmmp!” If he had nothing good to say, why not give his words to people who need them?

She averted her gaze, only to be met with the phone he had placed in front of her.

Li Che did use the epoxy phone case they made together, but it was really not easy, she was worried that the other party would turn around and throw it away.

In an instant, she was in a better mood and decided not to care about his presumptuousness just now.

Putting the two mobile phones in a row, Ye Yuqing pointed to Li Che’s mobile phone case. There was a small word “Hypoxia” in the lower right corner.

Then she pointed to her phone case, the huge “O2” character.

Hypoxia and oxygen, this was what she wrote stroke by stroke at that time.

“Use my phone case; from now on, you are my person; you are not permitted to look at other girls.”

After a brief pause, Ye Yuqing looked at the person next to her and lamented that her boyfriend was very attractive, which was quite unsettling. She said in a whisper, “Boys are also not permitted.”
