Chapter 2036: Who Fell in Love First

Yi Xiang gave a "Mm," which counted as a reply.

Wei Yangyang asked again, "Since you're resting, why aren't you relaxing properly at home instead of running off to follow the renovation?"

"I'm just in a hurry, that's all."

"In a hurry?"

"I want to get the house renovated quickly. I'll be staying at the villa for the time being."

Yi Xiang's behavior was a little unusual.

Wei Yangyang really wanted to ask a couple of questions.

But thinking of what she had said to Yi Xiang's manager that day...

Wei Yangyang swallowed those concerns and instead said professionally, "If you have any good ideas, you can tell me directly."

"Won't that affect your work?"

"Of course not. Doing the design for you is also part of my job."

Wei Yangyang's distant reply made the light in Yi Xiang's eyes slowly dim.

He sighed softly and then said, "Then... you should go back to work."

"Mm, hanging up now."

Wei Yangyang said this indifferently and hung up the phone.

On the other end, Yi Xiang listened to the "beep-beep" sound and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

When he saw Wei Yangyang's number, Yi Xiang had been full of joy.

He thought she would show him some concern.

But the facts proved that he had thought too much...

The current Wei Yangyang was trying hard to draw a line between them.

And this was enough to show that the decision Yi Xiang had made was the right one...

Afterwards, Yi Xiang did not call Wei Yangyang again.

Regarding the renovation, he only communicated with Wei Yangyang through Lao Qin.

However, with Yi Xiang's help, the renovation progress was indeed much faster.

It even entered the soft furnishing stage earlier than planned.

Soft furnishing is different from hard renovation; it is more trivial and requires more patience.

Taking advantage of her break, Wei Yangyang went to the villa, prepared to double-check things with the workers.

However, when she arrived, Wei Yangyang did not see Yi Xiang.

Lao Qin said, "Yi Xiang left because of something at home. He was quite hurried when he left."

Something at home...

That was a universal excuse.

Wei Yangyang didn't take it to heart at all; instead, she chatted with Lao Qin for a bit: "Since he's not here, can you all relax a little more?"

"Actually, there's no difference. Yi Xiang doesn't put on airs, and he even treats us to food and drinks."

Mm... that was indeed something Yi Xiang would do.

But coming here to do renovation work was definitely not something Yi Xiang would do.

Wei Yangyang thought it over and over, but couldn't come up with a reason.

Considering that Lao Qin had been with Yi Xiang day and night these past few days, Wei Yangyang asked him for advice: "In your opinion, why did Yi Xiang come here?"

"Because of you."

Mm...

Did he have to be so direct?

Wei Yangyang felt embarrassed.

Lao Qin, however, explained quite straightforwardly: "That kid asks about you whenever he has nothing to do. Every time I talk to you on the phone, he stretches his ears to listen, and whenever someone opens the door, he eagerly pokes his head out to look..."

Sigh, why did it sound more and more like this kid was pitiful?

Especially today, when Wei Yangyang had finally come, he had left the city directly.

It really was a case of having the fate to meet but not the fate to be together!

Lao Qin scratched his head and muttered, "This young man is not bad. If you didn't already have a boyfriend, I would definitely try to persuade you."

Wei Yangyang knew this was just a joke.

There was no need, and no reason, to take it to heart.

She only commented, "A young person's affection comes quickly and goes quickly."

Lao Qin didn't think that was the case.

But he wasn't in a position to discuss matters of the heart with Wei Yangyang.

In the end, he vaguely replied, "I hope so."

After giving her instructions to Lao Qin, Wei Yangyang left the villa.

She had already made an appointment with Li Xingyan; today's date was at a cat café.

The kittens there were incredibly cute.

And there were all kinds of breeds.

As soon as Wei Yangyang walked in, her heart was about to melt!

But Li Xingyan didn't have much of a reaction.

He was purely there to accompany Wei Yangyang to pet the cats.

Wei Yangyang sat in a chair, and the cats took the initiative to gather around her.

But Li Xingyan...

The surroundings were empty.

Seeing this, Wei Yangyang offered him an idea: "If you relax a little, the kitty will want to play with you."

"I don't need to."

"But since we're already here, don't you want to play with the kitty?"

"No..."

Before Li Xingyan could finish his sentence, Wei Yangyang shoved the soft, fluffy cat she was holding into the crook of his arm.

Li Xingyan's body tensed up involuntarily.

His arms were stiff as well.

He looked at the cat in his arms, and the cat glanced back at him.

And then...

The cat haughtily flicked its tail and left!

Wei Yangyang pursed her lips to hide a giggle.

Then she said, "It seems like you were rejected by the cat."

Yeah, Li Xingyan could see that.

He brushed the cat hair off his clothes and said coldly, "Once I buy this cat cafe and it has to rely on me for cat food, let's see if it still rejects me then!"

"Childish."

"How is that childish? This is a method of taming."

"But you could clearly get it to like you by just being a little gentler, why go through all that trouble and buy a cat cafe?"

"For irrelevant things, I can't be bothered to pour in any emotion."

Oh, almost forgot, Li Xingyan doesn't have much enthusiasm to spare.

Being able to like Wei Yangyang and treat her with tenderness was already an accident.

Wei Yangyang pursed her lips and smiled, then patted Li Xingyan and said, "Let's go get something to drink."

There was an area in the cat cafe that provided drinks.

The drinks and snacks here were very unique, all related to cats.

Like cat-shaped mugs and cat-paw cakes.

Oh right, they also had cat-ear headbands here.

Seeing these headbands, Wei Yangyang thought of the Maid Cafe.

Her eyes darted around, and Wei Yangyang asked, "Honestly confess, when we went to the Maid Cafe, did you already like me then?"

Li Xingyan recalled the moment.

He had always liked Wei Yangyang without realizing it.

It was impossible to trace back to exactly when he started liking her.

But going to the Maid Cafe with Wei Yangyang that time must have meant he secretly had feelings for her in his heart.

Otherwise, given his personality, he would never have accepted a place like that.

Wei Yangyang was still waiting for Li Xingyan's answer.

But she found that he had been silent for a long time.

This made Wei Yangyang ask unhappily, "Do you really need to think for that long?"

Li Xingyan looked up and said, "I'm being cautious."

"You don't need to be cautious for a question like this, unless... you didn't like me back then."

Li Xingyan didn't respond, but instead threw the question back at Wei Yangyang: "Then did you like me back then?"

"No."

Wei Yangyang refused categorically.

Li Xingyan felt depressed.

Wei Yangyang continued to speak the truth: "I was terrified of you back then; even a slight change in your expression could make me tremble with fear."

"That's too exaggerated."

"Not at all, I..."

Wei Yangyang suddenly smiled and said, "It's all in the past, isn't it enough that we're sweet now?"

Yeah, that's true.

Who cares who fell in love first; the most important thing is that both of them are in love now.
