Empty Promises: The Ceo Cunning Bride - Chapter 220

“Make me believe that you won’t be running away.” Yang Zheyan sweetly said, like a devil trying to coax you into giving your soul away for free.

“Let me go with you.”

Xiong Jingfei smiled and tried to remove Yang Zheyan’s death grip fingers from her backpack strap, but it was called a death grip for nothing. “Young master Zheyan, I’m sure you’re a very, very busy person! Why spare the time to accompany this lowly person to do nothing?”

“Then, why don’t I quit doing everything and do nothing with you?” Yang Zheyan smiled back and nodded his head. With his spare hand, he took out his phone and began speed dialing a number, “Grandpa-”

Xiong Jingfei had never tried grabbing a phone as if her life depended on it, but because Yang Zheyan was much taller than her. It was out of her reach, even if she was jumping for it.

“Okay, you can come with me!” Xiong Jingfei huffed, almost having a second brain explosion because of him.

“So you were going to do something? You lied to me.” Yang Zheyan mouthed, looking down at her with a mischievous grin that this wasn’t the end. “Grandpa, we were wondering if you have time to have dinner with us?”

“Of course~!” Grandpa Yang Jinhai’s explosive voice boomed through the phone. “I want to hear my granddaughter-in-law’s voice!”

“Grandpa, your granddaughter-in-law and I have something to finish. I’ll call you later.” Yang Zheyan smoothly ended the call as if that was the real reason why he called in the first place.

“You won’t let me win this time around, right?” Xiong Jingfei verbally surrendered, but her eyes wanted to continue fighting.

“Darling~, let’s not talk about winning or losing.” Yang Zheyan wrapped his arms around her waist. “The most important thing right now is, how would you like to be punished for lying?”

“Punish? I am already rewarding you by letting you come along.” Xiong Jingfei said without an ounce of shame in her bones, but after seeing Yang Zheyan’s ‘angelic’ smile, she nervously laughed, “I mean, I didn’t want to waste your precious time. I’m sure you have better things to do than follow me around.”

Yang Zheyan’s angelic smile was much scarier than his devilish smirk.

“Sweetheart~, let’s not go down this pathway again. You saw what I am capable of doing to let me have my way this time.” Yang Zheyan didn’t drop his angelic smile as he inched closer to her. “For you, I will always have spare time, and it will remain the same for our future. Then, should we finish what we couldn’t do last night?”

“Oh, honey~. One never knows what the future holds for us,” Xiong Jingfei showed a mysterious smile and plucked her backpack out of his grip. “One moment, we love, and the next is betrayal while vengeance follows for a lifetime.”

Yang Zheyan frowned, not understanding what she meant, “Did you have to ruin the mood I set up?”

“Then stop creating a mood that shouldn’t be there,” Xiong Jingfei shrugged it off like it wasn’t a big deal. “Let’s not forget we are a fake couple based on a lousy promise between our elders. Don’t tell me you’re falling in love with me?”

“Jingfei!” Yang Zheyan grabbed onto her arm. There was a rage inside of him that escaped through his mouth, and it was something he thought he wasn’t capable of feeling. “I-”

“What is this?” Lu Weisheng’s voice suddenly showed up out of nowhere. “The both of you…”

Yang Zheyan grabbed the side of Xiong Jingfei’s face and planted what he wanted to since last night.

“Ack! Don’t you think it’s a bit early to be doing this!?” Lu Weisheng covered his eyes and was overly dramatic. “Can you not spare this lonely person’s heart!?”

Yang Zheyan smiled at Xiong Jingfei’s shocked face. He said in a quiet voice, “What? Do you want Weisheng to find out we are fake?”

“What were the two of you discussing so loud this early in the morning?” Lu Weisheng asked, suspiciously staring at both of them up and down.

“We were discussing if we should send you back to your parents so that they can find you a partner as lovely as mine.” Yang Zheyan smoothly said, wrapping his arms around Xiong Jingfei, even though he could feel her elbow jabbing into his stomach. “I can help you fix that lonely heart, so you will leave us alone.”

“What!?” Shocks was written all over Lu Weisheng’s face. “Sister-in-law! Yesterday after meeting-”

“Yesterday?” Yang Zheyan had extremely sharp ears to hear Lu Weisheng’s plea cry at the end. Even Xiong Jingfei almost didn’t hear what he was trying to say.

“Yesterday, I was ‘meeting’ with Weisheng to discuss today’s trip.” Xiong Jingfei blurted and began playing the eye signal game with Lu Weisheng again. “Why do you think someone like Lu Weisheng is up early for once?”

Lu Weisheng couldn’t even complain out loud because she was saving him.

“Alright…” Yang Zheyan didn’t sound convinced that was the truth of ‘yesterday’ meeting. “So, where are we adventuring to today?”

Xiong Jingfei doesn’t know if today was going to be a good or bad day! One was supposed to be gone but is home. Meanwhile, the other one that doesn’t get up until almost noon is up and ready to leave!

Today will become an unknown outcome day once they find out a fourth person is joining them. She sighed, “Zheyan, I have two rules on this trip that you have to obey if you want to come.”
