From Sidekick to Bigshot

Master Zhai was not happy with his grandson’s performance.

Originally, this was a great opportunity for his grandson to show off in front of his future wife.

However, that brat gave the opportunity to those guys from the Jian family!

And thus, Master Zhai was so angry that he scolded Zhai Yunsheng.

After listening to his grandpa for a while, Zhai Yunsheng hung up the phone.

He didn’t want Jian Yiling to thank him.

In contrast, he wanted the Jian family to treat her well. That would probably make her happier.

And thus, he left the opportunity for her older brothers.

It was all okay as long as the matter was resolved.

He wasn’t very concerned about anything else.

Zhai Yunsheng was resting in the lounge room. There was relaxing music playing.

Suddenly, the door to the room opened.

Zhai Yunsheng slowly opened his eyes.

When he saw Jian Yiling come through the door, Zhai Yunsheng frowned:

“Why are you here?” Zhai Yunsheng asked with a soft voice.

Why did she appear in his office at this time?

Jian Yiling did not reply to his question. Instead, she walked up to him.

Then, she pulled out a lunch box for Zhai Yunsheng.

“Are you here to bring me food?” Zhai Yunsheng said. As he said this, he wanted to laugh. However, somehow, he didn’t feel like laughing either.

She didn’t like him. In fact, she was even afraid of him. Her instinctive reaction to his confession was to avoid him.

And thus, the only feelings she had for him were gratitude and indebtedness.

However, even though he knew this, he still wanted to take advantage of those feelings. He wanted to use those feelings to tie her to his side for a few more years.

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling replied as she nodded.

Then, she opened the lunch box. The aroma of food wafted out from the lunch box.

Zhai Yunsheng hadn’t eaten lunch yet. During his break, he went to rest in the lounge room.

Zhai Yunsheng was not going to refuse food. This was especially the case when he thought about Jian Yiling being busy in the kitchen for quite some time.

“Are you going to be responsible for me?”

Zhai Yunsheng was currently eating. He was shocked by Jian Yiling’s question.

Her voice was soft and too damn sweet.

Furthermore, it appeared as though she was incredibly serious when she asked this question.

“Cough cough cough… Cough cough…”

Zhai Yunsheng choked on his food.

“Cough cough cough…”

Jian Yiling hurriedly patted Zhai Yunsheng’s back.

After coughing for quite some time, Zhai Yunsheng finally recovered from his shock.

“Why did you suddenly ask that question?” Zhai Yunsheng asked.

The question was too surprising for him.

“You confessed to me,” Jian Yiling replied.

“Yeah, I did.” However, she was scared off by him.

“You kissed me as well.”

“Mhmm.” He did that on her birthday.

“Pepper said that after someone confesses their love, they either stay together or part ways. I don’t want to part ways with you,” Jian Yiling said with a serious expression on her face.

Jian Yiling wasn’t too sure about anything else. However, she knew that she did not want to be separated from Zhai Yunsheng.

Upon hearing the words “I don’t want to part ways with you,” Zhai Yunsheng’s heart completely lost its calmness.

Zhai Yunsheng stared at Jian Yiling’s face. He was in a complete daze.

As she said, once someone confessed, they either got together or parted ways.

If they did not get together, it was very likely for them to part ways. It would be hard for them to be friends like before.

However, as these words came out of Jian Yiling’s mouth, Zhai Yunsheng was incredibly surprised…

And thus, Zhai Yunsheng decided to clarify some questions before he jumped to a conclusion: “Then… Why were you avoiding me for the past two days?”

“I was thinking,” Jian Yiling replied. “I can only think when you’re not in front of me.”

For some reason, she could not think clearly when Zhai Yunsheng was too close to her. She lost her ability to rationalize.

And thus, in order to think about the matter more objectively, she chose to keep her distance from him for a few days.

“You mean, you can’t think properly when I’m in front of you?” Zhai Yunsheng asked.
