Chapter 61: A Boat

Ning Li had to slightly lift her head up to look at him. “I’ll take it.”

Lu Huaiyu moved his ear closer to her. “Tell me.”

She blinked in slight surprise when his handsome side face came closer. Softly, she asked, “Second Brother, may I take a raincheck on this wish first?”

As her quiet voice entered his ears with her warm breath, Lu Huaiyu turned to her.

They were already rather close, so when he turned to her, they were only an inch away. He could feel her breath while she could see herself in his abysmal eyes.

The girl was greedy. She was practically asking for a blank cheque that she could use anytime.

At that very moment, the tension was broken as Cheng Xiyue brought the car over. He honked at them to signal them to get in.

Lu Huaiyu straightened his body and curved his lips.

“Okay.”

…

It was already 10:00 p.m. when Ning Li returned to the Ye family.

Ye Ci and Su Yuan were sitting on the couch in the living room when she came back.

Ye Ci looked at Ning Li when she walked in. Her eyes were reddish as if she had just cried. She stood up nervously and said, “Sister Ning Li, you’re back!”

Su Yuan looked like she had something to say though no words escaped her parted lips.

Ning Li paused. “Yes?”

Ye Ci took a deep breath. “I-I was waiting for you to come back because…because I want to apologize…” she said while biting her lips. She then glanced at Su Yuan and added, “I should not have called Mom today before I found out about the truth. I’m sorry, Sister Ning Li.”

Ye Ci realized what her mistake was the moment she came back. After asking her mother, she found out that the teacher told Ning Li to call her mother because someone had copied her answers during the monthly test, not because she had cheated.

Ning Li had achieved first place with her own merit.

In addition to that, Su Yuan had also embarrassed herself in front of the teachers and parents, hence her bitter mood.

Even though her mother did not lash out at her, Ye Ci sharply sensed that something was not right, so she stayed up and waited for Ning Li.

Ning Li raised a brow. “I didn’t lose anything, thus you don’t have to apologize to me. You should apologize to someone else though.”

Ye Ci gulped nervously.

Su Yuan also reacted differently to her words. She stood up with slightly furrowed brows.

She already felt bad and guilty for having wrongly assumed that Ning Li cheated in the monthly test, so when Ye Ci insisted on waiting for Ning Li and apologizing to her, she decided to stay up and accompany her.

Who would have expected Ning Li’s words to be this harsh though?

Ning Li’s words were like a reminder to Su Yuan, reminding her how embarrassingly she had behaved in the teacher’s office.

“Ning Li, Ye Ci did something wrong this time, but she did it because she was worried about you. If she had not called me, I wouldn’t have even known that the teacher wanted you to call your parents. Plus, she’s apologizing to you sincerely—”

Ning Li reacted with a cold expression. “This is not the first time I was told to call my parents. You should know that better than anyone.”

Su Yuan’s heart skipped a beat as she started to feel like she was suffocating.
