I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 262 If you don't enjoy dinner, will you be happy?!

"I..."

Yin Mengran raised her head and looked at Zhou Heng and Zhou Junyao opposite her, a troubled expression on her face.

Zhou Heng and Zhou Junyao nodded at her, as if to express their approval...

This made Yin Mengran even more flattered.

Zhou Heng believed her, which was one thing, given their relationship.

But with Zhou Heng's father... they've only met for the first time, and they trust her so much?

How careful must one be to avoid betraying such immense trust...?

"and me."

Just then, Zhou Heng slowly opened his mouth and said softly.

These words stunned Yin Mengran for a moment, then she nodded slightly.

A new determination appeared in his eyes...

Then, she turned to look at Liu Wei and said seriously:

"Mom, if you believe me, I'm willing to accept it, and I will do my best to not let you down!"

"Yes! That's right!"

Liu Wei nodded with obvious delight.

The atmosphere among the four of them improved significantly, and they ended dinner in a pleasant mood.

Subsequently, Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran were sent back.

After all, they need to go home with their friends tomorrow, so they should get some rest early tonight.

Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran got out of the car, said goodbye, and prepared to go back to the hotel.

At this moment, Zhou Junyao shouted from the car:

"Remember what I said, and study it carefully when you get back."

"Ah for what?"

Zhou Heng turned his head and looked at Zhou Junyao with a puzzled expression, wondering what he was referring to.

"You two should get married as soon as possible! Alright."

After saying that, Zhou Junyao drove away, leaving Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran completely bewildered...

"what..."

"marry..."

Yin Mengran's heart was pounding like a drum; the thought of marrying Zhou Heng filled her with overwhelming excitement...

In this life, she was able to marry the person she loved most; she'd die happy for that...

However, Zhou Heng is so outstanding...and his family is so wealthy, he must have a lot of...

"Hey?! Zhou Heng, Yin Mengran, you're back!"

Just as Yin Mengran was lost in thought, a voice came from ahead.

Yin Mengran looked up and saw Yu Lingxue.

"Oh, it's you, Yu..."

"!!"

Before Yin Mengran could finish speaking, her eyes suddenly widened, and countless images flashed through her mind!

The words I'd heard before kept popping up...

[Yu Lingxue: "Yu Lingxue, that's my name. You can call me whatever you want, Little Yu, Little Xue..."]

Zhou Heng: "Let's be a little careful, after all, we're not very familiar with her yet, and I always feel like she's very scheming..."

[Tong Yining: "I have something to say about Yu Lingxue. She's very strange! Extremely strange! She seems to be trying her best to get along with you, but I can tell that her real target is Zhou Heng!"]

[Bai Cang: "Yu Lingxue! Stop what you're doing! Young Master Zhou... cough cough, Mr. Zhou! I'm here to save you! I! Bai Cang! I'm here to save you!"]

Zhou Junyao: "You don't understand. If things aren't settled on your end, I'll be getting bothered by people every day. Old Yu came to propose again these past two days..."

Scenes and words flashed through Yin Mengran's mind.

She connected all of this together...

Yu Lingxue...

Old Yu?

I see... that's how it is...

Yin Mengran's face darkened instantly, her expression blank, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes...

Yu Lingxue, who was running happily over, noticed that something was wrong with Yin Mengran and slowly stopped...

He stopped in front of Yin Mengran, awkwardly placing his hands on his chest, and asked softly:

"W-what's wrong? Did you not enjoy dinner? Is Zhou Heng's father difficult to get along with?"

She was actually worried about Yin Mengran the whole time at the hotel, wondering if she would be bullied and whether she would get along well with Zhou Heng's family.

But seeing Yin Mengran's current state, something seems off...

"What if we don't get along? What if you don't enjoy dinner? Would you be happier then?!"

"Uh?"

Yin Mengran's sudden remark startled both Zhou Heng and Yu Lingxue.

After that, Yin Mengran didn't say anything more, glared at Yu Lingxue, and then took Zhou Heng's hand and walked into the hotel.

Yu Lingxue was left standing there alone, bewildered in the wind, wondering what was wrong with Yin Mengran.

Did I say something wrong?

Why are you suddenly treating me like this...? You were perfectly fine before you left...

After returning to the room, Yin Mengran immediately pushed Zhou Heng to the bedside and closed the door.

Zhou Heng plopped down on the bed, looked up, and stared blankly at Yin Mengran...

"What's wrong, baby... why are you suddenly unhappy?"

Yin Mengran reached out and gently lifted Zhou Heng's chin, meeting his eyes in their gaze, and slowly spoke:

"Darling, stay as far away from Yu Lingxue as possible from now on, and it's best not to say a single word to her!"

"Ah...oh...okay...okay."

Although Zhou Heng didn't know the reason, he didn't ask any further questions.

He had no reason to refuse Yin Mengran's request, and although it seemed a bit inexplicable, he still agreed.

After Yin Mengran finished speaking, she sat down angrily to the side, arms crossed, looking distressed...

This left Zhou Heng even more confused. So what exactly happened? He hadn't done anything wrong, had he?

However... it's also possible that I just didn't notice!

So, regardless of whether you're right or wrong, apologize first!

Zhou Heng immediately moved his body, slowly moving to Yin Mengran's side, and whispered:

"Um... don't be angry anymore, I'm sorry..."

"Ok?"

Yin Mengran suddenly paused, her eyes widening as she looked at Zhou Heng and asked:

Why are you apologizing?

"Ah...no...aren't you angry with me?"

"Of course not! How could I possibly be angry with you..."

Yin Mengran immediately hugged Zhou Heng's arm, her attitude changing instantly, becoming docile and dependent.

Zhou Heng was taken aback. He hadn't expected that Yin Mengran wasn't angry with him.

Was it because...you were angry with Yu Lingxue? Why?

"That...that's because..."

Before Zhou Heng could ask for the specific reason, there was a knock on their door...

"Knock Knock-"

"Zhou Heng, Yin Mengran, are you there?"

The two were stunned for a moment. The person at the door looked like Tang Zhi.

What brings you here at this time?

Although Zhou Heng didn't understand, Yin Mengran, who was standing next to him, seemed to have guessed the reason.

She stood up and said to Zhou Heng, "I'm going out to chat with her for a while, I'll be right back."
