After eating lunch, Shi Yao accompanied Liang Mumu to tour the shops. From time to time, Liang Mumu would turn to Shi Yao and ask, “Does this look good on me?”. In response to that, Shi Yao would only nod in agreement. However, when Liang Mumu said that she wanted to rest for a moment, Shi Yao turned to her immediately. With eyes beaming with excitement, she suggested that they head to HoneyMoon Dessert 1 on the second floor.
Knowing that Shi Yao’s expertise was eating and her interest was eating as well, Liang Mumu shot Shi Yao a ‘there’s really nothing I can do about you’ gaze before heading over to the second floor with her.
While savoring the dessert, Liang Mumu chatted with Shi Yao, and it didn’t take long for the conversation to turn to Lin Jiage.
“Yaoyao, is there a problem between you and Brother Jia?”
Shi Yao’s mouth was stuffed with food when Liang Mumu suddenly asked this question. She was taken aback for a moment before she shook her head to deny it.
From the very start, other than the fact that she and Lin Jiage were in a child betrothal decided by their grandparents, they never interacted with each other. Therefore, how could there possibly be a problem between them?
“No problems?” Liang Mumu’s carefully drawn eyebrows knitted together as confusion flickered through her eyes. “Yaoyao, you’re my closest friend. You shouldn’t lie to me.”
Swallowing the food in her mouth, Shi Yao turned to Liang Mumu and said earnestly, “I’m not lying to you. I really don’t have a problem with him.”
“Then why didn’t you greet each other when we met at SKP the other day? Why did he pretend that he didn’t know you?” Liang Mumu asked as she tilted her face contemplatively. Soon, a thought struck her, and she asked, “Is this some kind of play between you two?”
Play, your head… But since Shi Yao’s mouth was still stuffed with food, she couldn’t say a word.
Hearing no response, Liang Mumu thought that her guess was spot-on, “I didn’t expect to see you guys doing such a unique play. How interesting!
“But Yaoyao, it was Valentine’s Day yesterday. Didn’t Brother Jia spend the day with you?
“Tell me honestly, did Brother Jia give you a huge Valentine’s Day present? What was it?
“Considering how rich Brother Jia’s household is, he must have given you plenty of good stuff, right? Watch? Bag? Shoes? Dress? Or was it a huge bouquet of roses? What color were the roses? Were they pink or red?
“Yaoyao—”
Under Liang Mumu’s relentless questioning, Shi Yao had no choice but to stop eating temporarily.
Valentine’s Day… When had she ever spent a Valentine’s Day with Lin Jiage?
As for presents… they had known each other for so many years, but putting aside a present, he’d never even treated her to a bottle of mineral water, a lollipop, or even a bag of spicy gluten, let alone a bag, a shoe, a dress, a watch, or a bouquet of roses… Well, those things weren’t as attractive as a bottle of mineral water, a lollipop, and a bag of spicy gluten anyway…
At this point, Shi Yao stared at Liang Mumu with a solemn expression and asked, “Mumu, are you sure you’re talking about Lin Jiage here?”
“Of course I am! Other than calling him Brother Jia, have you seen me calling someone else ‘brother’ before?”
“Since that’s the case, you must be telling a cold joke then? Your cold joke sure isn’t funny. But speaking of cold, I still feel like eating a little more…” Halfway through her words, Shi Yao raised her hand to beckon a waitress over and ordered, “Waitress, Mango Glutinous Dumpling, Snow White Sago, Mango Pudding, Durian Pancake, Black Glutinous Rice With Mango in Vanilla Sauce, two portions each…”
