The Fake Daughter Is Not Innocent

Chapter 41: How Delicate

The corners of Cheng Yang’s mouth twitched. He looked at Xiao Ying, who was pretending to act cute, but said nothing and just watched her silently.

Wen Jing’s expression changed as she pointed at Xiao Ying. “You brat! How can you call me that?”

Cheng Yang’s face darkened immediately. He looked at Wen Jing and said coldly, “Why is the Wen family in such a hurry to find me? Do you want me to help you pay back your debts or protect you from the power of the Underworld?”

Wen Jing looked at Cheng Yang in disbelief. “You already know everything?”

Cheng Yang looked at Wen Jing quietly, not speaking.

Wen Jing pulled a long face. If he had already known, why hadn’t he said anything until now?

Unless it was because… she glanced at Xiao Ying.

Unable to stay any longer, Wen Jing picked up her bag and left.

After taking a few steps, she realized that no one was stopping her. She looked back at Cheng Yang, stomped her feet, and walked away angrily.

This time, her pace was significantly faster.

Xiao Ying rested her head on her hands as she looked at Cheng Yang. “Brother, did I disturb your date?”

Cheng Yang looked at the innocent Xiao Ying and knocked on her head. “No, you helped me.”

Xiao Ying looked at the gentle Cheng Yang in surprise. Since when did he have such a good temper?

Cheng Yang raised his eyebrows. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Xiao Ying smiled sweetly. “It’s just that you’re too handsome.”

Cheng Yang grinned and picked up her foot, observing the wound from left to right.

Xiao Ying frowned and cried out in pain, “Brother, be gentler, it hurts!”

Cheng Yang didn’t even look up. “Don’t act cute. How much pain can it be?”

Xiao Ying raised Cheng Yang’s head with both hands and looked him in the eye, saying seriously, “It really hurts.”

Only then did Cheng Yang let go and realize that the place where his fingers had been pressing was already red.

He frowned and clicked his tongue. How delicate.

His thumb rubbed against the red mark, but not only did it not lighten, it turned redder.

Seeing Cheng Yang’s troubled expression, Xiao Ying removed his hand and said, “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Cheng Yang didn’t say anything. He got up and squatted in front of Xiao Ying. “Get on, I’ll carry you back.”

Xiao Ying’s expression stiffened. She looked at the broad back in front of her and felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Cheng Yang, impatient from waiting, urged her again.

Xiao Ying quickly made an affirmative noise and climbed on.

Cheng Yang easily carried her on his back.

Xiao Ying leaned on his shoulder and tried to put her head close to his shoulder, slowly reaching out to hug his neck.

Feeling the warmth radiating from the soft skin touching his neck, Cheng Yang stopped in his tracks.

Xiao Ying smiled sweetly and leaned closer when she heard Cheng Yang’s voice.

“I’m sorry. I’ll be more careful next time.”

Xiao Ying was stunned. It was only after a while that she understood what he meant.

He was talking about making her legs red.

She hadn’t expected him to care so much.

Xiao Ying nuzzled her face against Cheng Yang’s neck and said nothing.

The atmosphere between the two flowed warmly.

However, there were always people who wanted to come out and ruin the moment.

Madam Xiao had been following Xiao Ying the entire way. Seeing that Xiao Ying and Cheng Yang were together, she quickly brought Xiao Ruoxuan along to chase after them.

Pretending to have bumped into them coincidentally, Madam Xiao walked over to Cheng Yang and said in surprise, “Mr. Cheng, you’re with my Ying’er?”

Cheng Yang’s footsteps paused and he looked at Madam Xiao emotionlessly.

Xiao Ying’s expression slowly turned cold. Looking at Xiao Ruoxuan, who was beside Madam Xiao, she immediately figured out their plans.

Seeing that neither of them responded, Madam Xiao looked a little embarrassed.

She could only say to Xiao Ying, “Ying’er, how could you let Mr. Cheng carry you? You’re so insensible.” Then she looked at Cheng Yang and said, “This child has just been spoiled by us too much, unlike her sister who has always been obedient and sensible since she was young.”

With that, she pushed Xiao Ruoxuan forward.
