Good Evening, Mr President! Chapter 38

Chapter 38

Who exactly do you like?

Chi Yi found her uncle in the backyard’s garden.

There, he stood leaning against the lotus pond’s bridge railing and smoking away.

With his tall, well-proportioned figure, firm abs, and his long slender legs, he looked so effortlessly perfect like a prince who came straight out from a poster. Not only was he dependable and high-born, but he even exuded the unique charm of a mature man!

It was this unique charm that got her so captivated with him, and that fascination apparently only got her to fall deeper and deeper into her one-sided love.

She padded over to him and lightly tugged the back of his s.h.i.+rt. “Are you really going to wash your hands of me from now on, Uncle?”

Upon hearing her words, Chi Zuxu turned around and quietly stared at her.

A hint of blush bloomed across her face in her uneasiness about it. “What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?”

“Who is it that you like?” asked the man out of the blue.

His face looking all solemn.

“Huh?”

She was caught off guard by that question.

Her slightly reddened face instantly flushed red. “About that, I…”

The la.s.s suddenly felt somewhat shy and embarra.s.sed.

She was caught in a dilemma, wondering if she should confess to him.

“Uncle, I… The person whom I actually like is…”

“Hm?”

Chi Yi hummed and hawed over her words for a long time and was slow to answer.

The more she behaved in this manner, however, the more curious her uncle was about her crus.h.!.+

Just who is this guy who is capable of making her heart race and her face flush when she meets him and madly misses him when she doesn’t?

“Ugh! Forget it!”

Alas, he did not expect her to suddenly derail from the subject. “It’s better if I don’t say it.”

“Why is that so?”

His brows squished together in utter displeasure.

Her silence about that matter was actually due to the recalling of her bestie’s earlier reminder to her:

Before you’re certain that the man likes you, you must learn how to hide your feelings. Don’t let him see through you at a glance and learn how to play hard to get, only then will the man be interested in you.

It was why she decided against confessing to her uncle.

Of course, there was another reason for doing so.

She pouted her lips. “You’ll surely not let me continue liking that person if I say it out!”

Being the dictator that he is, on top of his tight-knitted relation with my father, won’t he be outraged if he finds out that I like him? Who knows, he might even send me back to the main residence to stay and cut off all contact with me in the future! Any hopes of chasing him will be dashed then! I’m not that stupid to do that!

Her words got him knitting his brows tightly in displeasure.

So, from what she’s saying… the one she likes is certainly not me!

Chi Zuxu thought that he should be heaving a sigh of relief at this knowledge, but somehow… he felt stifled as though his heart had been blocked by a huge boulder.

His gaze cooled considerably as he took a long drag at the cigarette in his hand before warning her in his deep voice, “I don’t care who you like, Chi Yi, but keep in mind that you’re only a highschooler. You have no right to be dating as of now!! Should I find out that you’re dating another male student again, I won’t let you off!”

“…”

It frightened her so much she shrunk back her neck.

Thank G.o.d I’m not interested in any of those messed-up male students! With my mature and well-off Third Uncle around, those rich and hedonistic second-generation heirs are nothing but useless clowns to me!
