Chapter 23 Yes, I am his stepmother

"Need I tell you? Although you are relatively young, you are surprisingly considerate... I understand even without you saying it." Jiang Yao avoided Chen Yuan's gaze and pretended to concentrate on driving.

She did realize that Chen Yuan was a typical person who was hard on the outside but soft on the inside. He looked cold, but he was actually very gentle.

When they met for the first time, he took off his coat and put it on him.

When we were arguing by the Drum Tower Pond in school, we paid attention to the volume of the voice for fear of being discovered by others.

He was obviously very angry after the breakup, but when she took the initiative to comfort him, he quickly calmed down. Apart from saying a few lewd words, he didn't make things too difficult for her.

Now we have even rented a house, so it is convenient for us to have space to spend time together while we are in love... Woohoo, it feels so warm!

Jiang Yao knew that this was Chen Yuan’s first time in love, and she thought it was very thoughtful of the boy to do this for his first love. It turned out that she was not wrong about him.

At this moment, she felt more and more that her decision to reconcile was a wise one.

If you miss such a boy, you will probably regret it for the rest of your life.

"Whatever you think." Chen Yuan lowered his eyebrows.

After a while, the two stopped talking. The atmosphere in the car was a little ambiguous, and they would steal glances at each other from time to time.

All pretending to be serious.

I like this kind of thing, and if I say it in the form of a joke, I won’t feel shy even if I say it a hundred times.

But if you really mean it and bring it up, you can't avoid blushing, your heart beating fast, and you will feel very embarrassed.

This awkwardness lasted for a moment, and Jiang Yao couldn't help but whispered, "Chen Yuan..."

"You said."

"You actually like me, don't you?"

She asked cautiously, a change from her previous proactive attitude, and on such a mature and beautiful face, there appeared an expectant expression similar to that of a sixteen-year-old girl.

He stared at Chen Yuan without blinking, wanting to hear his answer.

"I'm glad you know." After saying this, Chen Yuan turned to look out the window.

When she heard this answer, although she was mentally prepared, Jiang Yao still blushed quickly and bit her moist lips.

This question and answer is so sweet.

If this were at home, she would have rolled around on the bed like a maggot cricket pupa for a while.

At this moment, her eyes narrowed with joy.

"But, some people are always hot and cold, and no one knows why." Chen Yuan deliberately said something sarcastic.

"When did I ignore you?"

"Hiss, don't you think this is weird? Last time we met in the classroom, you deliberately scolded me with a cold face. The last time we met in the cafeteria, you asked me to kiss you, but you got really angry after I kissed you. You deliberately keep your distance at school, even when no one is around. Isn't this being hot and cold?"

relative!?

Hear this word.

Jiang Yao's whole body suddenly stiffened and she turned to look at Chen Yuan in disbelief.

She brainstormed frantically and suddenly remembered that her sister had asked her to go back to the car when they were in the restaurant.

Could it be...

In an instant, Jiang Yao's mood became extremely complicated!

Needless to say, it must be Chen Yuan who kissed my sister...That was my sister's first kiss, so it is understandable that he deliberately ignored and targeted me in school.

Wow! What a ridiculous misunderstanding.

Jiang Yao's expression became very ugly. She was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Chen Yuan, actually..."

"Ok?"

At this moment, she wanted to tell the whole truth. Cheating would make people feel guilty, but she didn't know how to explain it.

If she explained, would Chen Yuan forgive her? Forgive her and her sister for having an online relationship without telling him?
Anyone who is deceived like this will be furious.

"Actually... I deliberately ignored you at school because I had my own reasons. I hope you don't mind. I will make it up to you in private."

On the way from Qidao Street to Xixi Road, Jiang Yao turned left at a red light. She stopped the car and apologized to Chen Yuan with an apologetic look on her face.

She still couldn't muster up the courage, and the relationship finally eased a little.

If I confess now, wouldn't that be courting death?

When I have the chance in the future, I must make it clear.

……

Half an hour later, the two of them found a random store and had something to eat.

During this time, Chen Yuan tried on some clothes and found that the coat was a little small. It happened that they had time in the evening, so they rushed to the place where clothes were sold.

Located in the Maoye Building in the downtown area of ​​Lanjing, in a remote corner deep in the upper floors, it was the first time for Chen Yuan to visit such a clothing store.

There were almost no people in the store, but there were several shop assistants, all girls, and they were dressed the same, neatly and cleanly.

However, walk all the way into the mall and take the elevator to the store.

Chen Yuan always felt that the people around him looked at him strangely, and some of them were pointing fingers at him.

The same thing happened when they got to the store. The shopping guides kept their eyes on him and Jiang Yao.

"Sir, Madam, is there something wrong with the clothes?"

"Oh, it's a size too big. Change it and get him a few other styles."

Jiang Yao pointed at Chen Yuan. She seemed to be a regular here. She found a place to sit down with ease. The waiter, who had a good eye for the situation, immediately brought her drinks.

Chen Yuan sat down with her and whispered, "Why do I feel like they are all looking at me?"

"Normal, this is my first time bringing a man here."

"Then when we walk into the mall, people will look at us strangely."

"Maybe they think we don't match well."

Jiang Yao blinked and hit the point.

That’s true. The age gap of eight years is quite big. Plus with the way she’s dressed today, anyone who pays attention can tell at a glance that she is not a college student.

Although Chen Yuan is an adult, he can't hide the childish student temperament on his face.

The main reason is that her eyes are too clear and her clothes are more youthful and campus-style.

"Doesn't it match?" Chen Yuan couldn't understand what was wrong.

"If you don't believe me, I'll ask someone." Jiang Yao said hello to the shopping guide, who came over and politely asked what was going on.

Jiang Yao folded her legs together and smiled, "What do you think is our relationship?"

"Ma'am, we have been trained not to talk nonsense to guests, nor to guess their identities, and not to say anything except about their clothes."

The shopping guide quickly waved his hands, unwilling to guess.

"Just say it boldly. It's okay."

"Then I said..."

"Just say it."

"You are his... stepmother?"

When Chen Yuan heard this, he almost vomited blood! His forehead was instantly covered with black lines.

Jiang Yao on the side couldn't hide the smile on her face and nodded frantically, "You guessed it right, I am indeed his stepmother, this is my baby - hey!"

She stopped talking abruptly before she could finish her words. Chen Yuan grabbed her by the back of the neck and pulled her over to threaten her.

"Do you dare to say it again?"

Jiang Yao could only beg for mercy in a hurry, and said pitifully, "I was wrong. I won't say that again. It's mainly because I didn't dress right today. I'll try to wear something a little girlish next time..."

The shopping guide looked at the intimate behavior of the two people and seemed to have guessed their true relationship.

Her eyes were full of amazement. If they were really a couple, they would be a perfect match.

To others, this scene of playfulness seems extremely sweet, and makes people unable to help but curl up the corners of their mouths.

In fact, if there had been no breakup before, Chen Yuan should have gotten along with "Yaoyao" like this after meeting in real life. This is a normal relationship.

"Okay, I'll go change."

Chen Yuan released the hand that was holding Jiang Yao's neck.

He walked into the fitting room.

Five minutes later, he came out.

Jiang Yao was drinking coffee. She turned around and saw Chen Yuan, who had changed his appearance. She was stunned for a moment, with her hands hanging in the air.

She was speechless, her beautiful eyes full of amazement.

Several shop assistants in the store also came over and their eyes gradually widened.
