Lan Jia"s expression also became a bit ugly. He berated in a low voice, "Man Ni, pay attention to the way you speak."
Seeing that Lan Jia was angry, she immediately retracted that light and carefree expression, and pitifully lowered his eyes. However, she did not have the thought of apologizing to Ye Xiaos.h.i.+.
Ye Xiaos.h.i.+ said to Lan Jia, "I"m a little tired, I will go back to my room to rest."She spoke in Chinese, and although her English was good, she didn"t want to speak it.
Lan Jia could hear the anger in his voice, and he glared at Man Ni angrily and said, "I will accompany you."
Ye Xiaos.h.i.+ also did not refuse, and Man Ni just stood there coldly by the side like that.
After Lan Jia and Ye Xiaos.h.i.+ left, Man Ni bit his lips and silently left.
The maid who was watching behind him immediately whispered to each other. One must know that, since she was also a servant, Man Ni had always raised her status, probably because her father was the manager of the entire island.
However, in the eyes of the servants, Man Ni treated them too seriously. Now, it was rare for them to see her being scolded in front of Lan Jia, so they all felt a little happy in their hearts.
Ye Xiaos.h.i.+ sat on the sofa on the second floor."s words had hurt her self-esteem, which made her think back to what she had just said. If it wasn"t for her grandfather who had saved her back then, and if she was just a girl completely foreign to him, would Lan Jia have liked her?
The first two people that he met were proof that he would definitely not look at her again. This made Ye Xiaos.h.i.+ feel extremely bitter and baffled just thinking about it.
Lan Jia walked up the stairs and looked at the girl who was sitting in the corner of the sofa and staring blankly out of the window. He sighed lightly.
"I apologize for her." Lan Jia said in a low voice.
Ye Xiaos.h.i.+ pursed her lips and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Why did you apologize to me on her behalf? She is not wrong, we have always been in love with grat.i.tude. "
Lan Jia panicked. He was worried that she would think like that.
"No, Little s.h.i.+, I forbid you to say this. The relations.h.i.+p between us started with grat.i.tude, but now, my feelings for you, are real love." Lan Jia anxiously retorted.
"If my grandfather hadn"t saved your grandfather back then, if we had returned to our initial meeting, if I wasn"t Ye Xiaos.h.i.+, would you have liked me?" Ye Xiaos.h.i.+ raised his head and asked somewhat sorrowfully.
Lan Jia was instantly unable to answer because the first time he had seen her, his feelings towards her was indeed not like his, but loathe her.
"Lan Jia, I know that you want to repay me with your grat.i.tude, but you don"t need to force it. I hope that you can choose a woman you like to marry, and not tie your marriage to mine because of your grat.i.tude." Ye Xiaos.h.i.+ took a deep breath. When she said those words, her heart was very calm.
Lan Jia was slightly flabbergasted, he anxiously sat beside her and held her hand, "I like you, and the one I want to marry is also you. Little s.h.i.+, you better not think too much."
"I will stay here. I will not ask you to marry me immediately. I will give you time to think things over." After Ye Xiaos.h.i.+ finished speaking, he removed the hand he was holding and stood up to return to his room.
Lan Jia was immediately stunned, he didn"t need any time to think, he just wanted to marry her.
Lan Jia bit his lips. He felt that it was necessary for him to go and find Man Ni now. He wanted to make Man Ni change her att.i.tude and att.i.tude towards Ye Xiaos.h.i.+ in the future.
After Lan Jia finished making her decision, he stood up and went downstairs. From the balcony, Ye Xiaos.h.i.+ saw him driving his car out.
Was he going to look for Man Ni?
Ye Xiaos.h.i.+ stayed in her room, feeling bored. She pushed open the door and walked out, but just as she was about to go downstairs, she heard two maids discussing something.
One of the maids said, "Young Master has already brought the real Miss Ye back, so why would he leave this painting here?"
"Of course it"s because young master still loves a Miss Ye!"
"But, the one that young master brought back last time was not the real Miss Ye! Young Master brought her here to deceive Master. "
"Although it"s fake, I feel that the young master won"t be able to forget about her. She"s so beautiful, otherwise, the young master wouldn"t have brought that lady back. He even almost organized a wedding!"
