Chapter 1409: 1409

Strangely, Ye Youyou felt nervous .

This man… This man couldn’t be expecting to spend the night over at my place, could he? No, that’s impossible . He with his own lips that he wouldn’t . It is unlikely that this guy would go back on his word and risk that damage to his reputation . Furthermore, we aren’t exactly on familiar terms with each other, are we?

Ye Youyou felt a little doubtful as she warily stepped into the bathroom . She saw herself in the mirror . Her hair was wild and unruly and still dripping water . Her complexion was pale, and her eyes were red and swollen . The makeup that she had specially applied had melted down her face . Two dark circles were evident around her eyes .

There was only one way to describe her; she cut a sorry figure indeed . Ye Youyou laughed bitterly and found that she had been pathetically foolish .

Given my current demeanor and looks, what possessed me to think that Li Jinnan would want to chase me?

It was more likely that he was taking pity on her . Looking into the mirror, Ye Youyou reached out to touch the portion on her chest that had been hit and pressed on it gently .

That apple hadn’t just been an apple .

Li Jinnan took a look around the sitting room . A huge picture hung in the middle of the sitting room . It was a photo poster of Ye Youyou . It had been shot very stylishly in black and white . It looked exquisite and beautiful .

With eyebrows slightly raised, he seemed very satisfied . He had initially assumed that she would have a wedding photo blown up to hang in her home . Immediately, he came to the realization that this was a single-occupancy apartment .

Oh yes, theirs was a marriage for show .

Since it was a marriage for show, it was certain that they didn’t live together or sleep together . It was also likely that nothing physical had transpired between them . Li Jinnan cheered up considerably at that thought .

Under the huge picture, he saw a few ornaments . They were figurines that looked like they had been fashioned from clay . One of them bore a slight resemblance to Ye Youyou . As for the male figurine at her side… Is that Shen Luo’an?

Li Jinnan picked up the male figurine and turned it over . As expected, he saw the word “An” carved at the bottom .

The other two figurines had the words “Que: and “You” carved respectively . “Que” probably referred to Ye Youyou’s stepsister that Ye Qianqian had mentioned . She was the ballet prodigy that had later become a cripple .

Li Jinnan sympathized with the unfortunate plight of the lady . His eyes didn’t linger on the figurine for long before he turned and headed into the kitchen . The fridge was bare and empty . There was nothing inside at all . Moreover, everything in the kitchen had been put away or covered . The place was packed very neatly . Evidently, she hadn’t yet set foot into this home upon her return from Kingstown .

Li Jinnan took another look around . Ye Youyou suddenly emerged from the bathroom . Her hair had just been blow-dried and was let loose . She was dressed comfortably in a housecoat . The colors were neutral . She looked clean and fresh .

He took a look at her and said, “You look a lot cleaner than before . ” With that, he looked at his watch, “It’s past eight . I haven’t had dinner . Have you?”

Ye Youyou had been hungry for some time . When she heard the question, she shook her head and replied, “There’s a restaurant below that isn’t too bad . You’ll see when once you go down . ”

Is she sending me off?

Given the person that Li Jinnan was, he understood it immediately . Pretending as if he hadn’t heard anything, he asked straightforwardly, “I feel like eating noodles . Do you know how to prepare that? Let’s go grocery shopping . ”

He headed to the door as he spoke without caring if Ye Youyou agreed to it or was willing to at all . At the door, he turned to look back at Ye Youyou and said, “Let’s go . ”
