When Ye Qianqian uttered that statement, she kept her eyes on Li Jinnan’s face to judge his reaction. He remained the same. It revealed nothing. Ye Qianqian inwardly bemoaned the situation. Here was another guy who wasn’t easily read!

She hardened her resolve nonetheless and continued her persuasion, saying, “You have to know… When a girl is at her weakest, that’s when it’s easiest for her to fall in love with someone else. Our dear Ye Youyou has now experienced a setback in love. I don’t even have to tell you how disappointed she is in Shen Luo’an. If this were a story out of a book, what a tragedy it would be. At this time…”

“You want me to enter the picture?” Li Jinnan interrupted her. He had hit the nail on its proverbial head.

Ye Qianqian’s words remained unsaid in her throat. She felt a little awkward as she tried to backtrack. “That’s not exactly it either…”

“May I smoke?” Li Jinnan was feeling a little out of sorts. He looked at Ye Qianqian as he cut her off.

The sudden change in topic stumped Ye Qianqian for a moment. She nodded her head and replied, “Sure.”

Li Jinnan took out his box of cigarettes and retrieved one but didn’t light it. Instead, he played with it in his hand as he slowly stated, “I’m trying hard at the moment, but I think I need your help.”

Ye Qianqian’s eyes lit up. With a click of her tongue, she excitedly said, “One look and I knew that you were an affectionate person!”

“What are you talking about?” Ye Youyou’s voice rang out from inside.

The two of them turned their heads at the same time and caught sight of Ye Youyou in a light-blue sleeping gown. Her hair had just been blown dry and hung loosely around her shoulders. Without makeup, her face was a little pale. She looked weak.

Li Jinnan looked at her and frowned. He asked, “Have you had dinner yet?”

Ye Youyou didn’t expect that Li Jinnan’s first question to her would be that, but she answered immediately. “Yes.”

“Alright.” Li Jinnan took his lighter out and lit his cigarette. “Let’s go, then.”

“What?” Ye Youyou was a little stupefied. “Where are we going?”

“For supper.” Li Jinnan stood up and took a puff.

A whitish smoke billowed out in front of his face. Li Jinnan narrowed his eyes slightly. In a tone that did not permit objection, he said, “You’re too skinny. You need to fatten up.”

Ye Qianqian quickly nodded her head in agreement and said, “That’s right. I think so too. Go on! Go on! It’s been three to four hours since your dinner in the evening. It’s time for supper. Change out of your nightclothes, Youyou.”

Youyou was somewhat speechless. “I’m not hungry.”

“I have something to say to you.” Li Jinnan gazed at her as he said, “Let’s go out.”

Ye Qianqian felt that her infatuated teenager’s heart was about to explode. The way Li Jinnan spoke, and his demeanor as he smoked… That had been the dream guy of her youth!

Hoot hoot hoot! What a pity, though, that the man is already taken. And by my sister, no less.

At least it wasn’t by someone unrelated. So, it wasn’t exactly a loss either.

Ye Youyou didn’t really feel like going. She replied, “You can say whatever you want to me in front of her. My sister isn’t an outsider.”

“Well, let’s go together.” Li Jinnan flicked his cigarette lightly into the dustbin. “Let’s hang out together.”

Ye Qianqian gave Li Jinnan a huge thumbs-up in her mind. She nodded her head and said, “Sure. Let’s go. Let’s go together.”

In order to facilitate Li Jinnan’s entrance into the picture, Ye Qianqian had to help him. She pushed Ye Youyou into the room. In a whisper, she said to Ye Youyou, “Come on. I’m hungry too. Can you bear to make me go hungry?”
