I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 248 In my heart, you are already the best...



Chapter 248 In my heart, you are already the best...

"not me..."

"Okay, okay, goodbye!"

Zhu Tao didn't give him a chance to say anything more. She casually said goodbye and then pulled Liao Haomiao away...

For some reason, Liao Haomiao felt incredibly happy at that moment!

He was sitting there feeling inferior and sorry for himself when Zhu Tao suddenly straightened his back!

Having walked a few meters, Liao Haomiao turned around, looked at Xue Yan who was still standing there in a daze, waved, and smiled.

"I'm leaving now! Bye-bye! Thank you for taking the photos of my girlfriend!"

"???"

Xue Yan tilted his head, his lips twitched, veins bulged on his forehead, and his cheeks turned red at a visible speed.

He simply couldn't believe it—Liao Haomiao and Zhu Tao had actually reconciled?! How could that be!

At this moment, a man smoking a cigarette walked over and stood in front of Xue Yan:

"Hey buddy, I've been watching for ages. Are you taking photos? How much do you charge per shot?"

"I'm so angry..."

Enraged, Xue Yan cursed aloud, his eyes wide as he glared at the man.

The man frowned immediately; his body was covered in dragon and tiger tattoos, and he looked like someone not to be trifled with.

Xue Yan's anger subsided by half. He clicked his tongue and whispered:

"Brother...it's free...would you like to take the picture?"

At this moment, Liao Haomiao and Zhu Tao had already gotten into the car and were preparing to go to the next location.

Liao Haomiao sat upright, unsure of what to say. He wanted to ask Zhu Tao why she had encountered Xue Yan, but upon reflection, he realized there was no need to ask.

Zhu Tao leaned on Liao Haomiao's shoulder, scrolling through the photos on her phone, then picked out a few to post on her WeChat Moments.

Their photo together is placed in the middle...

"I will run to you without hesitation, every time, every single time."

Liao Haomiao opened his WeChat Moments and saw what Zhu Tao had just posted...

In the group photo, I look a little shy and reserved, but my face is beaming with happiness...

The rest of the photos were all taken by myself; none of them were taken by Xue Yan...

Liao Haomiao couldn't help but ask, "Hey... didn't Xue Yan take pictures of you? Why didn't you use them? The ones I took... weren't very good..."

"It's special because you took it, and that makes the photo more meaningful. Besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Trust my photo editing skills!"

Zhu Tao chuckled and put her arm around Liao Haomiao's shoulder.

Liao Haomiao reached out and grasped Zhu Tao's hand, took a deep breath, and whispered:

"I will work hard and do my best in every aspect!"

Liao Haomiao had already made a secret decision: since he could go from being at the bottom of his class to being at the top!

Then I will have the ability to do my best in all other aspects!

Zhu Tao was slightly taken aback, then understood what Liao Haomiao meant, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"You don't have to be the best... just being yourself is enough. In my heart, you're already the best..."

"Okay, okay, Mom, we're coming right now. It's alright, you don't need to pick us up. We can treat it as a walk! Mmm!"

Yin Mengran hung up the phone with Liu Wei, learned where they were going, and then prepared to go there with Shen Linyi and Yu Lingxue.

Yin Mengran glanced at the navigation and said:

"It's about a kilometer... Shall we walk there? Take a stroll. Mom said she'll be free in ten minutes."

"Okay, sure." Shen Linyi nodded, having no objections.

Yu Lingxue had no further objections and followed behind the two...

She was extremely nervous at the thought of meeting Zhou Heng's mother!

Because she knew Zhou Heng's father's identity, she knew that Zhou Heng's mother was definitely not an ordinary person!

"Um... Yin Mengran... I wanted to ask, what kind of person is Zhou Heng's mother?"

"Mother..."

Yin Mengran paused for a moment, looked up and thought for a second before answering:

"At first glance, she was an extremely beautiful and elegant person! Her eyes were full of gentleness, her words were full of love, and... she was incredibly protective of her own!"

As Yin Mengran spoke, a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

Shen Linyi nodded in agreement, adding a "Mm".

"I see... Indeed, Zhou Heng's mother must be exceptionally remarkable..."

Yu Lingxue nodded, listening to Yin Mengran's description, as if she could imagine it; she really was a very nice person.

"Auntie... what's wrong...?"

Shen Linyi seemed even more nervous than Yu Lingxue; she walked unsteadily, kept her head down, and spoke in a soft, trembling voice...

In her memory, it had been a long time since she had seen her aunt; the last time they met was several years ago.

That time, I mustered up the courage to greet her and speak to her. She seemed very happy and bought me a lot of things, but she didn't offer many compliments.

It's as if they know they'd feel particularly awkward receiving too much praise...

Even her own mother couldn't be so considerate of her own feelings.

"Mom said that inviting us to dinner was probably just a way for her to see us."

Yin Mengran didn't know what was going on; she thought it was just a simple meal.

After a while... Shen Linyi uttered a soft, languid sentence:

"Then... will my uncle be there too?"

"belch!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Lingxue seemed to choke on something, letting out a hiccup and widening her eyes...

President Zhou is here too? Are you kidding me! Such an important figure, and I'm supposed to meet him? And I'm dressed so casually? Shouldn't I be dressed more formally?!

"Zhou Heng's father... I don't know... To be honest, I've never met him..."

Yin Mengran shook her head. She found Zhou Heng's father too mysterious; she only learned bits and pieces from other people at certain times...

Yu Lingxue bit her lip. She had never actually met Zhou Heng's father... she had never even had the chance to...

"I...have seen it before..."

"Um?!"

Yin Mengran and Yu Lingxue both looked at Shen Linyi with surprise.

Shen Linyi nodded and said:

"Hmm...that was when I was little...my aunt and uncle brought Zhou Heng to our house once, my memory is a bit hazy...but...I think my uncle said something to me..."

"What?"

"What?"

Yin Mengran and Yu Lingxue looked at Shen Linyi in unison and asked impatiently.

Shen Linyi was startled by the two of them, took a step back, and whispered:

"Uh...it's probably just something he said to comfort a child. He said if I ever have any problems, I should come to him, and he'll be able to solve them..."
