Mengyao wasn’t stupid- the conversation Lin Yi had on the phone was more than enough for her to understand that situation. These people were coming straight at her.
“Miss Chu, I need to be responsible for your safety.” Lin Yi said, his face completely solemn now. “I’ll be worried if it isn’t Uncle Fu sending you home safely.”
“But……” Mengyao didn’t think Lin Yi would reject her so coldly after she went and apologized to him, with her head lowered and everything… but Lin Yi…
She was frustrated, but also understood that Lin Yi was doing this for their safeties. She stomped her foot lightly as she held back from throwing a retort at Lin Yi.
She’d have openly voiced her displeasure in any other circumstance, asking Lin Yi what more he wanted even after she’d went and lowered her head for him. She wouldn’t have asked for a gigolo if Lin Yi hadn’t flirted with an aunty in the first place!!
Without anyone realizing, Jingyi had become an aunty in Mengyao’s eyes.
