The Bigshot Shocks The World When She Backs Home Chapter 90 - I Can Wait

Chapter 90 I Can Wait

He had never seen a young girl flaunting such a bright color. He had been so stunned at first, that he wasn’t even sure when and how he had returned to his senses.

What was burned into his memory, however, was Yao Tangdancing so intimately with another man.

Cheng Yan had almost stormed over and pried that p.r.i.c.k away from her.

In a bid to calm himself, he reached out and took her hand for the second time. He rubbed her palm between his fingers and said, “It certainly feels cold.”

Their eyes met and locked.

Yao Tang said nothing.

The temperature outside was about ten degrees Celsius, of course, her skin would feel cold.

She studied him for a few beats before smiling. “What do you want, Cheng Yan?” she asked, her voice soft. “Do you like me or something?”

Cheng Yan’s lips curled upward, his voice equally deep and sensuous. “Can I be any more obvious?” he countered.

Yao Tang blinked, her expression unreadable. “I’m seventeen years old.”

“You’ll get older soon enough. I can wait.” He wasn’t fazed at all. If anything, his grin only grew more devilish.

They stared each other down for another moment, the air around them thrumming with the kind of tension no one would dare to put into words.

Yao Tang was the first to yield as she let out a quiet chuckle.Cheng Yanhad no idea what it meant, though. “I’ll go change,” she said, pulling his jacket off her and sauntering away to her dressing room.

Cheng Yan watched her disappear through the door, then looked back atSheng Ting, who was standing not far away. His eyes narrowed.

Sheng Ting stared at him just as intently.

Neither man spoke nor moved.

Cheng Yan took a deep breath and smirked as he s.h.i.+fted his suit jacket from one hand to another.

Finally, Yao Tangcame out. She was back in her usual black clothes, with her black cap to complete her ensemble. Her backpack was already slung over her shoulders.

More importantly, she was back to her cold, unapproachable self who didn’t give a d.a.m.n about anyone else.

They left the Beijing Film and Television CityandCheng Yandrove them to the Cheng Residence.

The moment the Old Madam laid eyes on Yao Tang, she immediately understoodCheng Yan’s infatuation. Consequently, she inwardly pinned a label on his forehead: “l.u.s.tful.”

Even so, she had to admit that this young girl really was adorable.

Yao tang sat on the chair beside the Old Madam and checked the latter’s pulse. From time to time, she would raise her head and meet the old woman’s gaze.

Some color had returned to Old Madam Cheng’s face, and her eyes were now bright and clear.

were no

Yao Tang retrieved her hand. “You’re recovering very well. Keep up with the Chinese medicine we prescribed you, and just focus on recuperating fully.”

The old lady rolled her sleeves back in place and smiled at her. “Yao Girl, why don’t you stay for dinner tonight?”

Her tone was friendly and engaging, as if she was already fond of Yao Tang.

If no one had told her that this woman was the formidable matriarch of the Cheng Family, Yao Tangwould have thought she was just another endearing old lady.

Cheng Yan didn’t care enough to hide his feelings. Surely, someone as sharp-witted as theOld Madam Chengwas able to tell what his intentions were.

When they walked through the courtyard earlier, Yao Tanghad noticed a familiar car parked just outside the garage.

She had first seen it back when she had performed surgery on the old lady, and had even memorized the plate number.

The car belonged to Yu Shu.

So, she was also in the Cheng Residence at the moment.

As far as Yao Tangknew, the Yu family branch here in the capital held a social status that was higher than most other ill.u.s.trious clans.

She lowered her lashes to hide the disdain in her eyes.

The frivolous affairs of such misses weren’t really worth her attention, and she despised the idea of having to deal with them in any way.

Cheng Yan had kept his gaze on her the entire time, and he noticed the s.h.i.+ft in her expression. He turned to look at the Old Madam. “You don’t have to worry about her meals,” he said coldly.

The old lady’s smile froze.

Cheng Yan leaned back in his seat and crossed his legs, looking as arrogant as any young master had a right to.

He looked at the Old Madam with a challenge in his eyes, and perhaps some vague threat as well.

The Yu family had no doubt brought Yu Shuover in an attempt to soothe the relations.h.i.+p between her and Cheng Yan.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t in the mood to act nice.

Yao Tang glanced at Cheng Yan, and then at the Old Madam. It didn’t take much for her to understand their unspoken battle. She stood and threw her backpack over her shoulder. “Thank you for your offer, Old Madam, but I have a flight to catch. I’m afraid I can’t stay.”

The old lady seemed genuinely disappointed by this. “It’s been hard on you,” she smiled kindly. “Please take care of yourself.”

Yao Tang nodded and pocketed her hands.

She turned and made to leave without bothering to acknowledge Cheng Yan.

He hurriedly got to his feet. “I’ll drive you to the airport.”

Yao Tang’s eyes flashed with meaning. “Okay.”

Cheng Yan opened the door to the pa.s.senger seat for her.Yao Tanggot in, then curled into a comfortable position to play her mobile game.

“Let’s have some dinner first,” he said as he got behind the wheel and started the car. “What do you want to eat?”

“Anything is fine,” Yao Tangsaid without looking up.

Silence fell as Cheng Yanconsidered their options. “I know a good dessert shop, but they only serve snacks. Do you want to go anyway?” That made Yao Tangglance up at him, but she went back to her game in the next second. “Sure.”

The dessert place was located smack dab in the middle of the city, which meant that it was always packed with people. Not only was it sitting in a strategic location, but the interior of the shop also boasted of a unique and cozy atmosphere.

The pair chose a gla.s.s booth by the window. Yao Tangcupped her chin with her cold hands as she stared at the city streets below.

Just then, Cheng Yan’s phone rang. He glanced down and saw it wasHe Du, so he didn’t hesitate to answer the call.
