Chapter 1858: This Woman Is Still the Same as Always

Before they even reached the small stall, the two of them caught the scent.

This scent... it was just too fragrant!

Jiang Motian and Wei Yangyang unconsciously quickened their pace.

Because it was not mealtime, there was no one in front of the stall.

Jiang Motian and Wei Yangyang did not have to wait long before they bought the teppan squid.

The squid at this place was exceptionally large; because it was so heavy, the bamboo skewer was slightly deformed.

Wei Yangyang took it cautiously, blew on it, and then couldn't wait to take a bite.

Delicious!

Wei Yangyang felt so satisfied.

Jiang Motian felt the same way!

Because it was so delicious, the two of them ate quietly for a while.

Once the squid was mostly finished, Jiang Motian brought up the serious matter: "You just said you wanted to use my brother as a reference point, so have you thought about how to do it specifically?"

At the mention of Li Xingyan, Wei Yangyang hurriedly looked left and right, guarding against the guy suddenly popping out from somewhere.

Seeing her so cautious, Jiang Motian couldn't help but shake her head: "Seeing you so fierce just now, I thought you weren't afraid of my brother anymore; turns out you're still the same as always!"

Only after confirming the surroundings were safe did Wei Yangyang relax.

Afterwards, she said with a straight face: "Everything needs a process, take it slow."

"Fine, take it slow. However, if you haven't thought about how to do it, I can help you brainstorm."

"How will you help?"

"My brother hopes his future wife can manage household affairs well; if Deng Yunhai thinks the same, then you should act a bit foolish in this regard."

After hearing this, Wei Yangyang nodded silently.

"As for elders, don't be too enthusiastic; be distant and cold."

Wei Yangyang continued to nod.

"If you encounter spoiled brats acting up, you must also treat it with indifference."

This time, Wei Yangyang didn't nod; she scratched her hair.

"If you're going to keep a pet... you need to choose from cold-blooded animals, like lizards or snakes, things like that."

Wei Yangyang finally couldn't take it anymore.

She shivered, then asked uncomprehendingly: "Why choose cold-blooded ones?"

"Because they don't need companionship; each stays in their own territory."

"Then what is the point of keeping a pet?"

"Just for the sake of keeping one."

Wei Yangyang was silent for a while, then said: "After doing all this, I feel like I'm not myself anymore. Tiantian... I don't really like this."

"Hmm... I can understand how you feel; indeed, changing yourself for a scumbag isn't worth it."

At this moment, Jiang Motian had already finished all her squid, and she casually tossed the bamboo skewer into the trash can.

She took the tissue Wei Yangyang handed over to wipe the corner of her mouth, then muttered in confusion: "I already had my mother tell Deng Yunhai's parents that you two broke up, so why is he still pestering you?"

On this point, Wei Yangyang didn't know either.

But she knew one thing: Deng Yunhai definitely didn't really like her, not like he said he did.

Wei Yangyang lowered her eyes and ate the last bite of squid.

At this time, she heard the woman beside her start to lobby: "How about... we just beat him up? I'll find someone to beat him up secretly, guaranteed to leave no trace!"

In Jiang Motian's eyes, a seductive light was still flashing.

But Wei Yangyang only felt helpless.

She turned her head, looked at Jiang Motian, and ordered: "Don't mention this method again in the future."

Jiang Motian dropped her shoulders, feeling that Wei Yangyang was a bit stubborn.

However, complaining aside, Jiang Motian still respected Wei Yangyang's decision.

And very soon, she thought of a new scheme!

This time, Jiang Motian didn't say it directly, but instead suggested very understandingly: "Or, you could pretend to ease your relationship with Deng Yunhai, and then see what he actually wants to do."

Wei Yangyang didn't say whether it would work or not.

She just sighed, then lamented: "Work is already so busy, why do I have to spend effort dealing with this kind of nonsense!"

"Speaking of being busy with work, do you have any business trips or something recently? Hide for half a month, and maybe when you come back, his obsession will have faded."

"Hmm... come to think of it, I really do have a business trip coming up."

"Then forget about this for now and focus on work!"

This sounded fine, so Wei Yangyang nodded in agreement.

But the next second, she cautioned Jiang Motian again: "No beating people up!"

"Don't worry, I promise!"

A smile hung on Jiang Motian's small face.

And behind her, a black stretched Lincoln car happened to drive by.

If Jiang Motian had turned her head, she would definitely have recognized this car.

Unfortunately, there were no "ifs."

In front of the office building, the people rushing to work became fewer and fewer.

Eventually, the bustling area outside the building became silent.

Deng Yunhai checked the time, and his brows could not help but furrow.

Usually by this time, Wei Yangyang would have already arrived for work.

But today, why had he still not seen her?

Could something have happened?

Deng Yunhai prepared to get out of the car to ask Wei Yangyang's colleagues about it.

As a result, just as he stepped out of the car, his path was blocked by someone.

The person was a stranger, so Deng Yunhai looked him up and down, then asked guardedly, "Something up?"

"Our gentleman would like to have a word with you."

As the man spoke, he turned his body to the side.

With him turning aside like that, Deng Yunhai saw...

Li Xingyan?

The moment he locked eyes with Li Xingyan, Deng Yunhai's gaze deepened, and then he stepped forward to walk over.

The two stood under a tree.

A light breeze blew, and the tree shadows swayed.

The tree shadows flickered on and off across the two men's faces.

Deng Yunhai spoke first: "I don't know what business Mr. Li has with me?"

"If I recall correctly, things between you and Wei Yangyang are already over; why are you still coming here to harass her?"

Li Xingyan was quite direct.

It was just that his tone of voice was not very polite.

And Deng Yunhai was not to be outdone: "This is a matter between Yangyang and me; I don't need to explain it to you."

"But your behavior has already harassed her, so I cannot just stand by and watch!"

Based on Deng Yunhai's understanding of Li Xingyan, he was not a person who meddled in other people's business.

Yet at this moment...

Deng Yunhai felt a sense of crisis.

He still calmly questioned him: "In what capacity are you meddling in this?"

"She has a good relationship with my younger sister, so naturally, I also treat her like a younger sister."

Li Xingyan's reason seemed reasonable on the surface.

But Deng Yunhai laughed upon hearing it and said meaningfully: "This brother-sister relationship without blood ties... is quite ambiguous, isn't it."

His pointed remark made Li Xingyan frown.

But he did not bicker with the other man, only warning him: "Think whatever you want, but don't come pestering her again in the future!"

"Sorry, I'm afraid I cannot comply."

Deng Yunhai was not intimidated.

And his reaction was within Li Xingyan's expectations.

He was not angry either, just saying calmly: "It's useless for you to pester her; Wei Yangyang has a way to disappear from your life completely at any time, just like today."

Li Xingyan's words were a bit stinging.

Deng Yunhai could not help but clench his fists.
