I Want To Move In Next Door-Chapter 1102 - 1099: Favored with a Smile (11)

The boy scurried away as if he’d been granted amnesty, without saying another word.

There was a moment of silence on the stage.

Zhang Cheng desperately wanted to calm himself, but the fire in his chest only grew fiercer. Unable to resist, he raised his hand to adjust his tie and unbuttoned two buttons before finally turning to look at Han Yixiao.

Han Yixiao still had her head lowered, resembling a schoolchild that had done something wrong.

Perhaps because he hadn’t responded, she sneaked a glance at him and saw his troubled expression. The panic in her eyes intensified. She opened her mouth but said nothing. Eventually, she reached into her pocket, fished around, and pulled out a piece of candy. After unwrapping it, she timidly offered it to him.

For the first time, Zhang Cheng did not take the candy.

Han Yixiao grew more anxious, stretching her arm out, trying to put the candy into his mouth.

Zhang Cheng turned his head away, avoiding the candy she almost pushed into his mouth.

His evasive action was somewhat abrupt. Expecting to place the candy into his mouth, Han Yixiao applied a little more force, so when Zhang Cheng dodged, the candy rolled onto the ground, gathering dust and turning into a dirty clump.

Han Yixiao, with her dark, wide eyes, stared blankly at Zhang Cheng, who refused to look at her, then turned to the candy on the floor. As she watched, her lips quivered, and her eyes reddened.

She hadn’t meant for it to be like this, but she didn’t know what else to do to be by his side... In the past, when he was willing to have her by his side, it was always that man who hurt her. So, she thought... as long as she was hurt, he would... let her stay by his side... 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

After a few seconds, Zhang Cheng exhaled and said, "Miss, I will gather your things from my house for you and have the driver send them to the school."

Han Yixiao bit her lip, her hand subconsciously clutching at her clothing.

"Don’t be like this anymore, it’s quite pointless. I’m really busy every day, and I have to take time out to take care of you. It’s really tiring..." Zhang Cheng tried to soften his tone, but only he knew how irritable he truly felt: "During this time, I’ve put aside all my own affairs for you, practically revolving around you, and yet... you’re quite something..."

Zhang Cheng paused, then after a while, he scoffed, "Miss, please take care of yourself. Also... the code for the apartment, I will change it when I get back. Don’t come over to my place for no reason... Moreover, you’re already an adult. Stop doing these childish things. If old Madam or CEO Han find out, they’ll be heartbroken and angry... Even if you don’t think for yourself, at least consider them..."

Having said that, Zhang Cheng thrusted Han Yixiao’s phone into her hand, then headed down from the stage.

As he passed by her, Han Yixiao instinctively reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes.

She opened her mouth, unable to speak out of nervousness or fear. All she could do was frantically unlock her phone screen, wanting to type a message to him.

Regrettably, Zhang Cheng did not give her the chance or time to type. He stood beside her for two seconds before prying her hand off of his clothing and striding away decisively.

Han Yixiao turned around, wanting to follow Zhang Cheng, but he was too fast, and quickly disappeared into the distance.
