Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 493 - 474: Threatened
At the dining table, Yan Ting and Cheng Roning chatted about work-related matters, while Banxia secretly added some food to his plate. When he lowered his head and saw that piece of meat, his eyes darkened slightly.
"I don’t like greasy food!" Banxia laughed.
Yan Ting then remembered that she was pregnant now, so he gladly ate the meat she had placed on his plate.
After the meal, Yan Ting was ready to leave. Banxia walked him to the door.
She was reluctant to part!
The winter midday sun shone on the girl. She was dressed in a slightly loose white down jacket, looking fresh and clean.
"I’m heading to the office now; call me if anything comes up," Yan Ting said in a deep voice.
"Mm-hmm!" Banxia nodded obediently, appearing as though she didn’t know what else to say.
There were some things she wanted to say in her heart, but she worried they might sound too cheesy if spoken aloud, making even her feel embarrassed.
"If you miss me, call me too." Yan Ting leaned closer to her ear and whispered softly.
Banxia’s face inexplicably turned red, and she shyly responded with another gentle "Mm."
Watching Yan Ting’s car drive away, Banxia still seemed lost in her thoughts.
It wasn’t until a snapping sound behind her startled her that she turned around to see her older brother, Ji Yang, looking at her with a mischievous expression.
"What are you doing? You gave me a fright!" Banxia puffed her cheeks and glared at him.
Ji Yang grinned and teased, "If you’re so reluctant to let him go, why not let him marry you and take you home already? He’s bound to get tired of seeing you every day!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Banxia flushed with anger. When her brother was being serious, she couldn’t help but admire him; but when he was messing around, she just wanted to ball her fists and hit him.
Ji Yang lazily opened the door to his car, saying, "Big Brother also has to go to the office—are you going to bid me a tearful farewell too, Little Sister?"
Banxia laughed in exasperation. "I’d never send you off! Besides, drive carefully—haven’t you crashed your car twice already?"
"Don’t make things up! You were the one who crashed into me once!" Ji Yang retorted unhappily.
Banxia then recalled those two amusing encounters and simply waved her hand at him. "Whatever. Just drive carefully no matter what!"
"Got it!" Ji Yang shut his car door and drove away.
Time flew by, and three days had already passed. Banxia stayed at her mother’s home, savoring the feeling of being with family.
She felt that every family was truly different. Back at the Lin Family, she always felt a sense of coldness. Maybe it was because she wasn’t Lin Kunhuai’s biological daughter, coupled with the hostility from Shiyi and her mother.
But now, being at her biological mother’s house, whether it was her big brother or younger sister, there was an ease and comfort in how they interacted with her.
Meanwhile, at the Huo Family!
Mrs. Huo received a phone call!
"Tingting?" Mrs. Huo hadn’t expected Chu Tingting to call her.
"Grandma Huo, I’ve been having nightmares the past couple of days. In my dreams, you pushed me into a room, and I nearly died there. Tell me, Grandma, how do I fix this? Do you have any solutions?" Chu Tingting asked in a sorrowful tone.
Mrs. Huo’s face stiffened as she frowned. "Tingting, what do you mean by that? You had nightmares—are you suggesting I’m the cause?"
"Grandma, could it be that you’re getting too old, and you’ve already forgotten what you told me before?" Chu Tingting asked in a seemingly innocent tone.
Mrs. Huo’s expression suddenly turned grim. "Chu Tingting, what exactly are you trying to do?"
"I’m not trying to do anything. It’s just that I’ve been suffering from insomnia and bad dreams lately. My mom and Grandma have been asking me if I’ve gone through anything traumatic." Chu Tingting continued in her innocent tone.
Mrs. Huo suddenly snapped, shouting angrily, "Are you trying to threaten me?"
