Stars In His Eyes

Chapter 1838: Treating Each Other with True Feelings 51

"Thank you! These are our wedding candies. We always said you had to try our wedding candies, so here I am, personally delivering them to you." Chen Ning smiled as she handed the items through the small window, and fortunately, no one came over to check on them.

After Ye Zi took them, Chen Ning continued, "Ye Zi, are you sick? You look like you’ve lost a lot of weight since six months ago."

"No, it’s not like that. Nowadays, the trend is for a slim figure. I’ve been losing weight here, aiming for a beautiful transformation when I get out." Ye Zi shook her head. "See, the baby fat on my face, I’ve finally lost it. Didn’t we always say we’d lose weight together? But looking at He Da, I guess he wouldn’t agree to you losing weight! He Teng feeds Sister Zhilan like a little pig, and He Da feeds you the same. No wonder they’re brothers."

There was a faint smile on Ye Zi’s face, but at first glance, it seemed especially shallow and serene. However, upon a closer look, there was an undeniable sadness hidden in her brows and eyes.

"Are you okay?" Chen Ning couldn’t explain why, but seeing Ye Zi smile like this made her feel an urge to cry.

Ye Zi didn’t used to smile so serenely and indifferently. When she was happy, she would laugh out loud just like Chen Ning, opening her mouth wide without any reservation, laughing heartily. When something funny happened, they would laugh until they forgot themselves, and just like Chen Ning, she would slap her thigh hard, making a loud noise, hurting themselves to the point where they couldn’t laugh anymore.

"I’m fine. You all are so naggy, every time you see me, you have to ask if I’m okay. I’m getting tired of answering!" Chen Ning shrugged, "Every time Chen Yun comes here for work, he asks me the same question, it’s giving me calluses in my ears."

"Why don’t you want to see Lin Deng? Lin Deng comes here every week, waiting for you for half a day." He Da suddenly asked, "Lin Deng really wants to see you."

This sentence from He Da immediately froze the smile on Ye Zi’s face.

"There’s no reason, just simply don’t want to see him." Ye Zi replied.

"Do you regret it?" He Da pressed on.

"Why should I regret it? What’s there to regret?" Ye Zi shook her head and curled her lips, "Does Lin Deng misunderstand that my not seeing him means I regret helping him get in here?"

Before He Da could speak, Ye Zi pretended to smile casually, "Let him think whatever he wants. If he wants to misunderstand, then let him. If he thinks that way, so be it." After a few seconds of silence, Ye Zi added, "It’s better if he thinks of me that way; he won’t have to waste half a day coming here anymore."

Chen Ning, seeing Ye Zi like this, didn’t mention that there was a letter from Lin Deng in the bag along with the wedding candies.

She was really afraid that if she mentioned it, Ye Zi would return it directly without even looking, asking her to take it back to Lin Deng.

Leaving it in the bag, Ye Zi would naturally see it when she opened it after she and He Da left.

"Did Lin Deng do something to upset you the last time you met?" He Da could only think of this reason. Otherwise, why would Ye Zi, who used to see Lin Deng at first, refuse to meet him after two meetings?

"No." Ye Zi denied it. "Let’s talk about you guys. After getting married, maybe when I’m out in over six months, you might become parents! Hasn’t Little Tuanyuan been nagging you quite a bit?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ning burst out laughing, "Ever since He Da and I got engaged, Little Tuanyuan has been nagging in my ear about wanting a little brother or sister. Later, my big brother and sister-in-law told him that since He Da and I aren’t married yet, we can’t have a little sibling for him. After that, Little Tuanyuan began asking us every few days when He Da and I would get married. He nagged so much; it was like being chased by something, even more urgently than the elders. The day after He Da and I got married, Little Tuanyuan specifically called to ask if we could have a little brother or sister now."
