Chapter 1440: 1440

When Ye Qianqian uttered that statement, she kept her eyes on Li Jinnan’s face to judge his reaction . He remained the same . It revealed nothing . Ye Qianqian inwardly bemoaned the situation . Here was another guy who wasn’t easily read!

She hardened her resolve nonetheless and continued her persuasion, saying, “You have to know… When a girl is at her weakest, that’s when it’s easiest for her to fall in love with someone else . Our dear Ye Youyou has now experienced a setback in love . I don’t even have to tell you how disappointed she is in Shen Luo’an . If this were a story out of a book, what a tragedy it would be . At this time…”

“You want me to enter the picture?” Li Jinnan interrupted her . He had hit the nail on its proverbial head .

Ye Qianqian’s words remained unsaid in her throat . She felt a little awkward as she tried to backtrack . “That’s not exactly it either…”

“May I smoke?” Li Jinnan was feeling a little out of sorts . He looked at Ye Qianqian as he cut her off .

The sudden change in topic stumped Ye Qianqian for a moment . She nodded her head and replied, “Sure . ”

Li Jinnan took out his box of cigarettes and retrieved one but didn’t light it . Instead, he played with it in his hand as he slowly stated, “I’m trying hard at the moment, but I think I need your help . ”

Ye Qianqian’s eyes lit up . With a click of her tongue, she excitedly said, “One look and I knew that you were an affectionate person!”

“What are you talking about?” Ye Youyou’s voice rang out from inside .

The two of them turned their heads at the same time and caught sight of Ye Youyou in a light-blue sleeping gown . Her hair had just been blown dry and hung loosely around her shoulders . Without makeup, her face was a little pale . She looked weak .

Li Jinnan looked at her and frowned . He asked, “Have you had dinner yet?”

Ye Youyou didn’t expect that Li Jinnan’s first question to her would be that, but she answered immediately . “Yes . ”

“Alright . ” Li Jinnan took his lighter out and lit his cigarette . “Let’s go, then . ”

“What?” Ye Youyou was a little stupefied . “Where are we going?”

“For supper . ” Li Jinnan stood up and took a puff .

A whitish smoke billowed out in front of his face . Li Jinnan narrowed his eyes slightly . In a tone that did not permit objection, he said, “You’re too skinny . You need to fatten up . ”

Ye Qianqian quickly nodded her head in agreement and said, “That’s right . I think so too . Go on! Go on! It’s been three to four hours since your dinner in the evening . It’s time for supper . Change out of your nightclothes, Youyou . ”

Youyou was somewhat speechless . “I’m not hungry . ”

“I have something to say to you . ” Li Jinnan gazed at her as he said, “Let’s go out . ”

Ye Qianqian felt that her infatuated teenager’s heart was about to explode . The way Li Jinnan spoke, and his demeanor as he smoked… That had been the dream guy of her youth!

Hoot hoot hoot! What a pity, though, that the man is already taken . And by my sister, no less .

At least it wasn’t by someone unrelated . So, it wasn’t exactly a loss either .

Ye Youyou didn’t really feel like going . She replied, “You can say whatever you want to me in front of her . My sister isn’t an outsider . ”

“Well, let’s go together . ” Li Jinnan flicked his cigarette lightly into the dustbin . “Let’s hang out together . ”

Ye Qianqian gave Li Jinnan a huge thumbs-up in her mind . She nodded her head and said, “Sure . Let’s go . Let’s go together . ”

In order to facilitate Li Jinnan’s entrance into the picture, Ye Qianqian had to help him . She pushed Ye Youyou into the room . In a whisper, she said to Ye Youyou, “Come on . I’m hungry too . Can you bear to make me go hungry?”
