CHAPTER 1243: CHAPTER 244: YAN HE TAKES THE STAGE—COURTESY BEFORE FORCE (PART 4)

She gave a faint smile, her eyes clear, with no trace of being confused: "Sorry, I don’t need it."

"Don’t be like that, meeting is fate. Look at us, we have such a destiny. With so many coffee shops in Jingdu, you happened to choose this one. Isn’t that fate? What’s your name, Miss? Where do you live? It’s just a cup of coffee; I won’t eat you. Don’t worry, I’m very kind, just admiring your beauty..."

The man plopped down next to Yan Xing, speaking with a cheerful smile.

Yan Xing looked at him in surprise: "Cousin...Cousin?"

The man turned his head to glance at her and greeted with a smile: "Oh, it’s Little Xingxing. Haven’t seen you for days, you’ve become even prettier."

Yan Xing pouted at him: "Cousin, are you scamming food and drink again? Can’t you do something decent? No wonder auntie always scolds you."

"What do you mean, scamming food and drink? Watch your words, this is called making the most of resources. Kids shouldn’t interrupt." With that, he smiled at Yun Ya, "May I ask your name, Miss? I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before."

Such old-fashioned pickup lines.

The one Yan Xing calls cousin must be the son of the Meng Family, Meng Junci’s brother Meng Jungu. Couldn’t have imagined he’d be so unserious in person.

Before Yun Ya could speak, Yan Xing shot him a sideways glance: "Cousin, are you looking to get beaten by my big brother? Do you even know who she is? My future sister-in-law."

At this, Meng Jungu’s eyes flashed slightly, "Oh, so this is Yan Song’s fiancée? I thought so. Why does she look so familiar? So what if it’s Yan Song’s fiancée? They’re not married yet. Buying her a cup of coffee isn’t illegal. Step aside." Then he patted Yan Xing’s little face with a big hand, pushing her head away, but turned to Yun Ya with a smile: "Miss Ji, I heard you’re from Jiangzhou. Are you getting used to living in the Capital City?"

"It’s alright." Yun Ya responded aloofly.

Picking up her bag, she said to Yan Xing: "Xingxing, we’ve been out too long. Aunt Zhuang might be worried. We should head home."

"Oh, oh." Yan Xing quickly grabbed her bag, not wanting to stay any longer with this cousin: "Cousin, we’re leaving now, bye-bye..."

Saying so, she dragged Yun Ya out of the coffee shop as if fleeing.

Meng Jungu watched their figures disappear out the coffee shop door with his hands in his pockets, got into a car, and chuckled softly with his head down.

Taking a light breath, it seemed the fragrance of the beautiful woman still lingered in the air.

"How delightful..."

"Let me tell you, my cousin is really a weirdo. He’s been unconventional since he was a child. He dropped out of high school to work in a restaurant, claiming he wanted to start a business independently and not rely on the family’s protection. It drove my uncle and aunt crazy. They finally got him back to school, he studied for two years, got into Jingdu University, and then he dropped it all again to pursue acting. He wouldn’t let my aunt interfere and fought his own way in the entertainment industry. Up till now, he’s just a low-tier actor in the industry, and no one knows he’s a son of the Meng Family. He doesn’t spend a penny of the family’s money, always out playing the pretty boy, scamming food and drinks. My uncle is so mad, he wants to disown him, and just hearing his name now can trigger a heart attack." Yan Xing could go on all day and night about Meng Jungu’s misdeeds.

"My aunt has extremely strict family rules. Look at my older cousin, she’s the epitome of an elite young lady. But for some reason, my cousin is so rebellious, and now he even dares to set his sights on you. Hmph, if my big brother finds out, he definitely won’t let him off."

"So, will you tell your big brother?" Yun Ya asked with a playful smile.

Yan Xing pouted, "As exasperating as he is, that’s just his nature. Sometimes I even feel sorry for him. Probably because auntie was too strict when he was little, so he just bounced back. Actually, cousin doesn’t mean any harm. Sister Yun Ya, can we keep this from my big brother? I promise he won’t bother you again."

"And how can you promise that?"

"Uh..." Yan Xing was suddenly at a loss.

Yan Xing giggled: "Alright, let’s not talk about him. What he does is none of our business. As long as he doesn’t mess with me in the future, I won’t bother him. Your big brother is so busy, where would he find the time for this?"

Yan Xing immediately beamed with joy: "Sister Yun Ya, you’re the best."

——

What Yun Ya didn’t know was that just after she left, there was a discreet car parked by the roadside. Inside, a pair of gentle eyes watched the direction she departed for a long, long time, as if wishing to follow her.

Fu Bai opened the car door and got in, whispered something into the man’s ear, which made the man’s brows tighten, then relax, as he said calmly: "If she likes it, then deliver it to her."
