Chapter 114: Afraid My Woman Will Get Tired

Meng Yi’er stared blankly as the man before her busied himself cooking, while she lounged like a lord, waiting to be served. Suddenly feeling a bit guilty, she stood up and said, “Let me help you.”

Yan Yichen looked up at her, curling his lips into a mischievous, seductive smile. “No need... My woman only needs to eat.”

Oh my god!

Did he think she was some kind of pig, who only ate and never worked?

Or was he just disdainful of her inability to cook?

Meng Yi’er rolled her eyes and pouted, “Are you saying you don’t want me to cook because I’m bad at it?”

The man lifted his head, his dark eyes glinting with a faint smile.

“I’m just afraid my woman will get tired...”

Once again, Meng Yi’er’s face flushed, her heart pounding. She lowered her gaze, playing nervously with her coffee cup.

This man truly was a master in the art of seduction.

Such impeccable charm!

Better not to mess with him.

After dinner, the two nestled together on the sofa, watching TV. The atmosphere was rare—quiet and warm.

“So... does this mean we’re officially together now?”

Meng Yi’er still found it hard to believe.

Their relationship seemed to have shifted too quickly.

Yan Yichen held her close. “Are you unwilling?”

Meng Yi’er shook her head. “I just feel it’s too fast...”

Yan Yichen gently pinched her delicate, pert nose with affection.

To him, how could it be considered fast?

He had waited for her for sixteen long years!

This day had been a lifetime in coming.

“From now on, let’s be together properly. Never leave me again...”

Suddenly, Yan Yichen pulled her even closer, his dark eyes overflowing with tender passion that could melt her heart.

Meng Yi’er nodded, touched by the depth of his feeling.

After a while, Yan Yichen’s cool voice broke the silence.

“We’re going on a date tonight. Where would you like to go?”

Meng Yi’er sat up abruptly. “A date? I don’t want to.”

He was a celebrity.

She still vividly remembered the last time fans had chased him. She had no desire to go through that again.

Dating such a ticking bomb? She wasn’t risking her life.

Nor did she want to be the next trending topic.

Yan Yichen frowned, turning to look at her.

“Why not?”

Suddenly, Meng Yi’er pointed at Yan Yichen, serious as ever.

“Be honest—was it you who caused that mess this morning?”

Yan Yichen was momentarily taken aback, then chuckled softly.

So the girl was just afraid of being recognized.

“It was me. Mo Bei reported it early this morning, and I had him deal with it immediately. That’s why you didn’t see it again afterward.”

“I knew it. Just a moment ago I saw it clearly. How could it just disappear? I knew it had to be your doing.”

“I won’t allow it.”

Meng Yi’er suddenly spoke, feeling she ought to tell him.

“I’ve found a job. I start tomorrow. When is your nanny coming?”

What Meng Yi’er didn’t know was that the “nanny” Yan Yichen mentioned was actually his servant—not someone who had taken leave as he claimed, nor had he given her a break.

He had only done this to find a reason to be close to her.

Yan Yichen lowered his gaze to her, his dark eyes filled with confusion and surprise.

“Tomorrow?”

“Mm,” Meng Yi’er nodded in response.

What Meng Yi’er didn’t realize was the nanny he referred to was his servant, not on leave as he had said, nor was she given time off.

He had done all this merely to have an excuse to be near her.

Yan Yichen lowered his gaze again, his dark eyes still tinged with doubt and astonishment.

“Tomorrow?”

“Mm,” Meng Yi’er nodded once more.
