Chapter 138 - I Was Stunned


    “Do the girls always gossip about me like that?”


    Ann Yichen shifted in his seat and then shed a deliberate smile.


    Long Xiaoyi couldn''t help but notice! He let out a sudden sigh.


    He had hoped Ann Yichen would behave for a while, but here he was again.


    “Next time, tell them that I already have a boyfriend, and you''re that boyfriend.”


    Ann Yichen seemed serious, but there was a yful tone in his voice.


    Although it mostly sounded like a jest! If Long Xiaoyi actually said that, he might genuinely get in trouble.


    Or perhaps, he was merely testing Long Xiaoyi to see how he''d respond.


    This was evident from the scrutinizing look Ann Yichen was giving Long Xiaoyi at this moment.


    “If I tell you the truth, you might lose your job. You''d have toe home with me and be my husband, letting me take care of you.” Long Xiaoyi chuckled.


    Apart from Ann Yichen, Long Xiaoyi''s response had also captured his attention.


    This kid had a way with words, but he didn''t seem like the smooth-talking type who''d sweet-talk endlessly.


    Men like him should be a rarity by now! It appeared that he had stumbled upon something unique.


    The smile on Ann Yichen''s face grew wider, and he didn''t appear to be offended at all.


    “Can you afford me? I need at least ten thousand a month. You''re just a kid, how will you support me? Are you even working?” Ann Yichen inquired.


    Although he said it with a smile, teasing Long Xiaoyi, the words did strike a chord with him.


    “I''ll go back to school and continue my studies. In the future, I''llnd a job at a goodpany. I''ll buy you a car and provide afortable life. I won''t be foolish enough to toil as aborer and make you suffer alongside me.”


    He didn''t make any promises; he simply expressed these thoughts matter-of-factly. But it warmed Ann Yichen''s heart.


    Long Xiaoyi was still just a student, yet he already had the intention of giving him a good life to spare him hardship.


    It''s over. I don''t want to let go and try living a life with him anymore.


    I''m genuinely looking forward to how this kid will surprise me as he matures into an adult.


    Had I been in love for so long? A few words from him now set my heart aflutter.


    Or perhaps, this kid really knew how to speak!


    “You''re not staying silent because you believe I can''t offer you a better life, are you?”


    Ann Yichen fell silent, and Long Xiaoyi asked seriously.


    “How could that be? Besides, I still need you to take care of me!” Ann Yichen responded warmly.


    When this kid wasn''t being irritable, he was genuinely likable!


    Long Xiaoyi replied matter-of-factly, “Isn''t it perfectly reasonable for a husband to support his wife?”


    Chuckles! Those were easy words to say; he hadn''t made a single move yet.


    But being earnest was what made him truly endearing, right? The stark contrast was adorable!


    “If you dare to close your eyester, I''ll break up with you!”


    Ann Yichen suddenly brought up the topic of breaking up. Then, he turned and felt something. When he returned to Long Xiaoyi''s side, he was holding a hand cream.


    He squeezed out the hand cream, lifted himself slightly, and ced one hand on Long Xiaoyi''s shoulder while using the other to apply the cream to his shoulder.


    Long Xiaoyi was taken aback, and his face turned beet red.


    “Why are you blushing?” Come on, help me with this. From now on, assist me with it! I don''t want to do it alone. “If you''re unsure, watch some more videos; there are always perks.”


    Ann Yichen mumbled to himself as he continued applying the cream.


    Ouch! It felt slightly painful!


    “Ugh, so annoying. Damn, that video was all a lie.”


    Ann Yichen suddenly eximed in frustration. He looked visibly irritated, and Long Xiaoyi didn''t know where to direct his gaze. His body temperature began to rise.
