Stubborn Love of a Roguish Scion - Chapter 272

Chapter 272: Only You

Similarly, the first people to notice Ye Erruo when she appeared were Bo Jinyan and Yu Lingfeng.

“Brother Jiangye…” Qing Ning’s eyes sparkled. She had finally gotten to see him.

“Ah! He’s so handsome! So handsome!”

“Who is that man?”

“Their hands…”

Everyone’s line of sight was drawn to their intertwined hands in an instant.

With a vague smile, Ye Erruo walked hand in hand in Qing Ning’s direction.

On the stage, the people who were unaware of what was going on remained immersed in the upbeat music that had begun to play.

Ye Erruo and Mo Jiangye found a relatively-empty corner and sat down. It was a small booth not far from the booth Qing Ning was sitting at.

Qing Ning left her numerous bodyguards and walked over to them with a smile.

“Brother Jiangye, I am back. I went to the Lin Family’s residence to look for you today, but the maids said that you had moved out. I made a lot of effort before I managed to find out where you live, but the butler told me you were not in,” Qing Ning said as she sized up Ye Erruo out of the corner of her eyes.

“Mo Jiangye!” He reached out and pulled Ye Erruo into his embrace.

Qing Ning was taken aback. However, she called out, “Bro Jiangye, is she Ye Erruo?”

Mo Jiangye no longer pestered her about the new name she called him by. Without ever glancing at her, he answered, “Yes.”

“She is really pretty. I heard that she is now my sister-in-law?”

Mo Jiangye lifted his chin and looked askance at her. “Is there anything else?”

Qing Ning bit her lips. “Yes. I’ve missed you quite a bit. We haven’t met in many years. I miss the times you took me out to play, when you taught me archery, self-protection, and brought me along when you went hunting.”

Ye Erruo’s brows furrowed into a line. F*ck! They had been that close? Archery? Self-protection? Hunting? Weren’t all these the same things he had taught her before?

At that moment, complicated feelings flooded her heart…

Mo Jiangye was just about to speak when Qing Ning comfortably found a place to sit. “I kept hearing that this was the bar opened by my sister-in-law, so I came to support her.”

When she saw Ye Erruo’s unhappy expression, Qing Ning was secretly elated.

“Daddy and grandpa were really happy when they found out that I’m back. I was hoping to treat you and Grandfather Lin to dinner at our residence tomorrow.”

Mo Jiangye seemed to have not heard what she said, as he rested his head on Ye Erruo’s shoulder and explained gently, “I’ve taught many people how to shoot, but you are the only one I taught personally. You are also the only one I took out to hunt alone. There’s nothing to say about self-protection. I’ve only personally taught you. She was the one who joined the army through her connections in the first place. It had nothing to do with me.”

The anger in Ye Erruo’s chest was appeased when she heard his words. She secretly tightened her hold on his hand. “You do not have to explain to me.”

Mo Jiangye let out a burst of soft laughter lovingly.

He rubbed her soft cheeks intimately and said, “Alright, I’ll stop explaining.”

After all, he was already done with his explanations. She had heard them all.

After being ignored by Mo Jiangye despite calling him several times and seeing them talk softly to one another, Qing Ning thought about it before standing up to pour a cup of tea. She brought the cup to Ye Erruo.

“Sister-in-law, I would like to atone for my sins and all the previous conflicts we had with this cup of tea. I hope you won’t mind.”

Upon seeing her serious expression, Ye Erruo smiled. Her two-faced nature was displayed vividly. In front of Mo Jiangye, she was like a knowledgeable girl from a wealthy family, yet when Mo Jiangye wasn’t around, she was like an uneducated madwoman.

Ye Erruo’s lips curled into a smile. “I mind.”

What was the point of acting? There was no point in mentioning how hypocritical she was. Ye Erruo could see how much Qing Ning wanted to get rid of her, yet she was trying to conceal it by making every effort possible.

Qing Ning was so furious that she did not know how to respond at that moment.
