Chapter 245

~5 min read 875 words

She said he wasn't worthy of loving her—but he already loved her! Already... couldn't take it back.

Why is he so stupid, always losing control, always making mistakes, always making her angry, always letting her get hurt? How should he... love her so she will accept him?

Breaking free from Season's hands, He Lele turned and left. Seeing this, Ceng Xiangyi hurriedly took small steps and ran around to the intersection in front of He Lele. As soon as she saw He Lele walking over, her legs went soft—

"Ouch!"

He Lele continued to look at the ground and walk forward, seemingly not hearing Ceng Xiangyi's groan.

"Ouch!" Ceng Xiangyi shouted loudly. This time, He Lele heard it.

Ten minutes later, in the Li family living room.

He Lele poured a glass of water for Ceng Xiangyi and handed it to her.

"I'm really sorry, Miss He, I troubled you to send me back and even had to have you pour water for me." Ceng Xiangyi smiled "apologetically."

He Lele smiled faintly. "You're too polite, it was just a small effort. Does your foot still hurt? Do you want me to take you to the hospital to check?"

"It's fine, it'll be better after a rest."

He Lele looked at Ceng Xiangyi's ankle; there was no redness or swelling, and Ceng Xiangyi didn't seem to be in much pain, so she stood up. "Then please rest more, I won't disturb you anymore."

"Hey hey hey! Wait, ouch... it hurts, it hurts, it hurts..." Why hasn't that damn brat come back yet? I can't keep pretending anymore!

Seeing this, He Lele hurriedly squatted down to check. Although she couldn't see anything, she still helped Ceng Xiangyi get the medicine kit, applied medicated wine, and massaged it gently.

Ceng Xiangyi was practically moved to tears. She had wanted a daughter like this, had wanted one for thirty years, and in the end, she could only hope for a granddaughter.

"I just saw you arguing with a young man, what's wrong? Did you have a fight with your boyfriend?" Ceng Xiangyi asked.

He Lele's massaging motion paused slightly and quickly continued. "No, he's not my boyfriend."

That's good, that's good. Ceng Xiangyi rejoiced. "Then do you have a boyfriend now?"

He Lele smiled helplessly. Why do aunts of the older generation like to ask these questions directly when they see young people?

Gently shaking her head, He Lele put down Ceng Xiangyi's foot. "Are you home alone? You twisted your foot and it's inconvenient to move, it's better to have someone around to look after you."

"Yes, when people get old, they need to be taken care of, but that unfilial son of mine won't be home for a while. Ah! It doesn't matter, you go do your things! How can I trouble you like this, and have you wait for my son to come back. Hehe..."

"..." He Lele looked at the old lady's kind smile and always felt something was strange. "It's no trouble, anyway, I don't have anything to do."

"That's great, how old is the little girl? Still studying or working? Where is your hometown?"

"..."

He Lele bit the bullet and endured more than ten minutes of "interrogation," finally hearing the sound of a vehicle driving into the courtyard.

"Auntie Ceng, your son is back, so I'll take my leave." He Lele picked up her cloth bag and was about to leave.

"Hey hey hey!" Ceng Xiangyi stood up in a hurry and wanted to stop her. "Sit for a while longer!"

He Lele looked at Ceng Xiangyi's foot with some surprise.

"Ouch!" Ceng Xiangyi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly fell back onto the sofa and leaned down to touch her own foot.

As soon as Li Yiquan entered the living room, he heard his sharp-tongued mother's signature cry of pain. He looked at Ceng Xiangyi helplessly and amusedly, then turned his eyes to look at He Lele with a smile.

"You're looking for me?"

"Uh..."

After He Lele explained, Li Yiquan glanced at his mother and knew what she was up to. After making a phone call to his father, who was playing chess in the community park, he stood up to send He Lele home.

"Sorry, my mother... caused you trouble." While walking, Li Yiquan said with a smile.

The sky had darkened, and the streetlights were turning on one after another. Looking at the shadows of the two walking side by side, He Lele curled her lips. "It's fine... you don't need to send me, it's just a few steps away."

"What's wrong? In a bad mood?"

"... No, thank you, really don't need to send me, Auntie twisted her foot, you should go back and accompany her."

"..." Li Yiquan stopped, looked at her distant appearance, took out his phone, pressed it, and handed it to her. On the screen, the words he had just said were clearly written, only with a few words added before those two sentences.

L: Happy, what's wrong? In a bad mood?

He Lele gritted her teeth and stared at this line of text on the phone without blinking. A short sentence almost made her tears well up again. ===== CHAPTER 246 =====
