Chapter 283: Little Liar
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
He accepted his daughter’s explanation when she introduced the man as a professor from the university, but he was not a naïve three-year-old kid.
He knew that Shishi had intentionally hidden the truth from him!
Although he had no clue who the man was, he could largely deduce his identity when he realized how much Youyou resembled him!
The man should be that mysterious employer from six years ago!
He just did not want to embarrass his daughter, so he did not pursue the matter further.
Yun Yecheng accompanied his grandson as the nurses wheeled his bed up to a special care unit on the 15th floor. He reminded his daughter to go home and catch some rest first before returning to the hospital to take over his shift.
She thought for a while before nodding in agreement; she would need to go back to pack some clothes for Youyou, anyway.
At the elevator entrance, she told the man, “Mu Yazhe, it’s late; you should go home.”
A thin veil of rage covered his face, and he asked with a raised eyebrow, “Are you chasing me away?”
“I don’t want you to get tired from lack of sleep.”
His face instantly relaxed, and he proceeded to ask with a teasing look, “Oh, are you concern about me?”
“It’s up to you to decide what you want to think!” annoyed, she angrily told him off. “Don’t blame me when you don’t have the energy to work!”
He smiled. With one hand in his pants’ pocket, he leaned forward and panted to her ear, “I’m always full of energy. You should know that since you already had a taste of it, hadn’t you?”
He was obviously referring to their make-out sessions!
She bit her lower lip at his words, her cheeks reddening. Exasperated, she shot him a dark look. “Nonsense! I don’t know what you are talking about!”
Ding—
The elevator doors parted open.
Just as she stepped into it, she was pushed into a corner, and her body hit the cold and hard surface of the elevator.
Her eyes widened in shock. Before she could regain her composure, the man’s tall and broad frame had her pinned to the wall.
He had carefully orchestrated this move, ensuring that the corner he had pushed her into was outside the viewing zone of the surveillance camera.
The elevator door closed and there were just the two of them inside the cramped space.
She looked up at him, horrified, as he bowed his head and clasped her chin tightly with his hand. His narrowed, slanted eyes stared deeply and heavily into hers.
His eyes gleamed evilly at her helpless eyes. He drew near her face and said in a husky voice, “Little liar, you are interesting, indeed!”
“What... What do you want?”
She hastily turned her face away, only to find him tugging her chin in place to force her gaze back on him.
“Huh, you seem demure and innocent, but you can be such a smooth liar when you want to.”
She was stunned for a moment as her face flushed unnaturally!
She was forced to tell a lie in the first place! How could she possibly tell the truth to her father?
This would undoubtedly rip open his scarring wound if she were to come clean with him.
Yun Yecheng had been blaming himself for the contract she had signed six years ago. He was angry that his beloved daughter had to become a surrogate mother because of his financial incapability.
If she were to tell the truth, her father would surely be incredibly embarrassed.
As for him, he had casually followed her to the hospital without prepping her at all!
How could he, therefore, turn around and blame her now?
She avoided his gaze and looked upset with her pouting lips. This added a childlike charm to her in the man’s eyes.
“Professor? Hmph!”
He let out another wicked laughter. With his long and slender fingers pinching her cheeks and his thumb pressing heavily on her lower lip flap, he asked in a lazy tone, “Little thing, tell me; what have I taught you so far?”
