Chapter 487: He Fancies Me

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fang Yao saw Yin Xun’s reaction and heard Yin Xun’s quiet complaints.

There was a smile in his eyes, but he did not say anything.

When Yin Xun saw that Fang Yao remained quiet, she stopped talking too. For some reason, she felt a little unhappy. She could not say why she felt that way, so she simply stopped talking.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment. Only the sound of children playing in the distance and the cries of birds hiding somewhere could be heard.

It was quiet as they walked. When the two of them arrived at Fang Yao’s house, Fang Yao finally spoke. He said casually, “Liu Cheng came to look for you just now. It seems like he has some hidden motive.”

Yin Xun nodded. “Liu Ying said that he fancies me and wants to woo me.”

Fang Yao stopped in his tracks and stared into Yin Xun’s eyes. “Then what do you think?”

“Of course…” Yin Xun was about to say that she was not interested in him when she suddenly thought of the situation earlier.

She did not ask Fang Yao to speak up for her, but Fang Yao said something like that anyway.

“Why did you suddenly speak up for me just now?” Yin Xun felt a tinge of anticipation in her heart, although she did not know what she was looking forward to hearing.

“If you help me once, 1 should help you in return. Isn’t that what they call repaying a debt of gratitude?” Fang Yao thought for a moment and finally came up with the answer of “repaying a debt of gratitude”.

“…In that case, you sure know how to repay kindness.” Yin Xun pursed her lips. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little frustrated.

She lowered her head and saw a small stone under her feet. She raised her leg and kicked it to the side.

“Young Master, Miss Yin, both of you are back. Come and eat quickly. Everything is ready.” The butler was watering the flowers in the courtyard when he saw the two people standing at the door. He called out to them with a laugh.

Just as Yin Xun felt like she did not want to continue talking to Fang Yao, she heard the butler’s voice.

She took a deep breath, adjusted her expression, and walked toward the butler. “Uncle Butler, why does it seem like you’re watering the flowers whenever I see you?”

The butler laughed as he said, “Miss Yin, there are so many types of flowers you have sent over. Some of them will thrive even if you water them only once every half-month, but some of them need to be watered every day. Some of these cannot be exposed to the sun too. 1 just moved out these pots. I want to take advantage of the evening to bask in the sun myself. 1 have to move them back into the house tomorrow morning.

“Hurry up and go eat.” With that, the butler put down the watering can and led Yin Xun toward the dining room.

When Fang Yao saw Yin Xun following the butler, he could tell that Yin Xun did not want to continue the conversation with him. He tilted his head slightly and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. He hurried after Yin Xun.

“From the looks of it, Liu Cheng doesn’t seem to have any intention of giving up. If he comes looking for you again, what do you plan to do?” Fang Yao asked indifferently.

“You shouldn’t fall out with him for the time being. Firstly, this isn’t a big deal. Secondly, your two families are working together. This is a critical moment for Donggang Modern City. It’s better to avoid trouble. When Modern City is completed, you can deal with him as you please.”

Fang Yao’s words made sense. If Liu Cheng kept being nice to her, she really should not lose her temper.

Yin Xun gritted her teeth and complained in her heart. What was wrong with Fang Yao all of a sudden? Could he not tell that she did not want to talk about this? However, she did not want Fang Yao to see through her thoughts and suppressed the frustration in her heart.

She looked at Fang Yao calmly and asked, “How do you think I should handle this?”

“If you need it…” Fang Yao smiled and looked at Yin Xun. “I can be your shield.”

Shield? Is that all? Yin Xun was even more displeased.

She turned her head and looked deeply at Fang Yao before rejecting his offer. “Thank you, but there’s no need. 1 can handle this myself.”

When the butler, who was leading the way, heard the conversation between the two people behind him, he muttered gloomily in his heart. Why did these two suddenly look like they had eaten gunpowder? They were acting completely differently from usual.

What was wrong with them? Why could they not sit down and talk things out? They were throwing a tantrum like children.

“Young Master, Miss Yin, what’s wrong with you two? I sense that both of you are not in a good mood.” The butler smiled as he asked them.

“I’m fine,” Fang Yao and Yin Xun replied in unison.

The butler,”…”

During the meal, Fang Yao and Yin Xun were both thinking about their own things. Neither of them spoke, and the meal was a quiet affair. The butler at the side had been paying attention to their attitudes. He looked left and right. There was indeed something going on between them and he could not help but feel worried.

He pondered for a moment and quietly turned to leave the dining room. After a while, he walked over with a neat little box..
