Chapter 85 Fight for It If You Like Him
Yao Yuanjing gave his room to Cen Muqi and Ji Naitang, but they spent the night sitting on the floor by the bed. They felt sore all over when they woke up the next day.
Ji Naitang actually regained his senses in the middle of the night. But things were already like this. There was no use even if he regretted it. Fortunately, Cen Muqi didn’t seem to want to leave him because of this.
But his relationship with that Yaojing probably couldn’t be hidden anymore.
“Little Tang, are you feeling better today?” Mrs. Yao asked him with concern at breakfast.
Ji Naitang smiled and replied, “I’m okay, Aunt Yao. I was just upset last night.”
“No matter what, you can’t hurt yourself anymore.”
“I know. I’ve made you worry.”
Mrs. Yao had always treated him very well, so Ji Naitang didn’t treat her like an outsider at all. She and that Yaojing were like his relatives.
Cen Muqi didn’t say anything. After breakfast, Yao Yuanjing sent his driver to drive them back.
“You’re not going with them?” Mrs. Yao asked Yao Yuanjing.
Yao Yuanjing shook his head. “There’s nothing to worry about with Cen Muqi there. It doesn’t really matter whether I go or not.”
“Our relationship with the Cen family isn’t good, but that CEO Cen doesn’t seem like he’s hard to get along with.”
Yao Yuanjing turned to look at his mother. He asked somewhat helplessly, “What do you want to say, mom?”
“Is Little Tang’s relationship with that CEO Cen what I think it is?”
“Can’t you tell already?!”
“I just want to confirm it. It looks like Little Tang is very dependent on CEO Cen, so their relationship must be very good. Jing, I’ve told you before. Fight for it if you like him, but you never listened. Now, it’s too late to fight for him, right?”
Yao Yuanjing didn’t say anything. Mrs. Yao sighed. “I can’t change the fact that you like men. I just thought, instead of other men, why not Little Tang? At least, I watched him grow up, so I know he’s a good kid. If you can be together, I can rest assured. Most importantly, I know you like him.”
“Naitang and I are good brothers and good friends. We’re not as complicated as you think……”
“You can fool others, but you can’t fool me. Don’t forget I gave birth to you. A mother knows her child the best. I really hate iron for not being steel!”
“Mom, that’s not the problem. Just because we have a good relationship doesn’t mean I like him. I just……”
“I’m not arguing with you about this. Whether you like him or not, you know in your heart. I just hope you won’t regret it in the future.” Mrs. Yao went upstairs and ignored Yao Yuanjing’s attempts at explaining.
Yao Yuanjing sighed as he looked out of the window. Did he like him? The answer was yes, but his “like” was different from that other “like.”
He had never thought about being together with Ji Naitang and had never thought about loving Ji Naitang. But if Ji Naitang said one day that he was too lonely and wanted to date him, then Yao Yuanjing would agree without another word.
But this wasn’t love. This should be friendship and familial love. But he couldn’t explain it clearly, so he wasn’t willing to waste a lot of time to explain. Thus, everyone who knew him thought that he liked Ji Naitang, including Cen Muqi after last night.
When Ji Naitang and Cen Muqi returned to the apartment, they found Assistant Liu still by the door. Cen Muqi then remembered that he had forgotten to tell Assistant Liu what was going on last night.
Assistant Liu saw them return and wanted to cry. “CEO Cen, if you still didn’t come back, I would have called the police.”
“I’m sorry. Too much happened last night, so I forgot to tell you.”
The CEO personally apologized. This made Assistant Liu, who wanted to cry, didn’t dare to cry anymore. He quickly turned serious and said, “As long as you two are fine, it doesn’t matter how long I wait.”
“Take today off and go back to sleep.”
“Yes.” Assistant Liu left in relief. Although he wasn’t clear on what happened last night, he could guess that it was related to the birthday. And he was the one who came up with the birthday idea, so he was worried that CEO Cen would punish him.
He didn’t expect that CEO Cen would actually apologize to him. He really felt overwhelmed with favor by his superior.
