Chapter 1170 Intentionally Letting Huo Yanchen See
“Liang Chen, I’m an adult now. I’m not the little sister you think I am. Maybe you don’t have those kinds of feelings for me. Maybe it’s just an illusion. Or maybe you only see my good side. In fact, I’m not what you think.”
"So, it's best not to say these things again." Jiang Manman lowered her eyes.
"I had made plans with Tian Tian, but since she didn't come, you can continue eating. I'll be going now."
After saying that, Jiang Manman stood up.
If Jiang Manman had known that Liang Chen was coming, she probably wouldn't have come to the appointment.
She now understood the feeling of being entangled, and wondered if she felt the same way with Huo Yanchen.
He wouldn't listen to her persistent nagging, and Jiang Manman thought about how she herself clung to Huo Yanchen; she must have been even more excessive.
Does Huo Yanchen particularly dislike her and never want to see her again?
Jiang Manman bit her lip, not daring to think any further.
Thankfully, I've let go now and won't become that despicable person.
"Manman," Liang Chen called out to her, "So you won't even have a meal with me? You're already here, why don't you have a meal before you leave?"
"I'm not hungry, you eat."
"Manman!" Liang Chen strode forward and grabbed Jiang Manman's hand, but Jiang Manman quickly shook him off.
Liang Chen felt Jiang Manman's movements, and although he felt a pang in his heart, he didn't say anything.
Do you really hate me?
Jiang Manman forced a smile: "Of course not, why would I hate you?"
"Since you don't want to eat, would you be willing to do me a favor?"
"What kind of help?"
"My friend has a birthday coming up, could you come with me to pick out a birthday present?"
"I'm not very good at choosing either, and I don't know what your friend likes."
"It's okay, we can go to the mall and take a look. You can come with me. If you're not even willing to do that, then it means you really hate me."
Jiang Manman hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, but don't ask me for this kind of thing again in the future."
"Okay, let's eat first, and then we'll go."
Liang Chen ordered dishes that Jiang Manman liked, but now, Jiang Manman had little appetite and didn't eat much.
It turns out that when you don't want to eat, even if your favorite food is right in front of you, you won't be interested.
But Liang Chen was quite happy and kept putting food on Jiang Manman's plate.
Jiang Manman said, "I can pick out whatever I want to eat myself. Liang Chen, you should eat it yourself."
"I see you haven't eaten much, Manman, you seem to have lost weight."
"You're mistaken. I haven't lost weight; I've actually gained some."
"Are you working at the Huo Group now? Is he good to you?" Liang Chen asked.
Jiang Manman said, "I'm just an intern at Huo's Group. What company's intern gets to see the president every day? It's not a big deal. I'm just doing my job, nothing else."
Liang Chen said, "Then have you considered switching to another company? If you were still in your Jiang Group, it would definitely be better."
"I don't have any plans to change jobs right now, and I have a great boss and I'm doing a good job."
"Really?" Liang Chen chatted with Jiang Manman like this.
Jiang Manman was eating, and he just watched her like that.
So cute.
He knew from a young age that Jiang Manman was exceptionally cute, possessing a liveliness and innocence that no one else had.
However, Jiang Manman seemed to only see him as a neighbor and older brother. He once thought that it would be nice to continue being Jiang Manman's older brother, but that was until Jiang Manman fell in love with someone else.
Jiang Manman ate slowly, but Liang Chen kept checking the time.
Later, she urged, "Manman, are you full?"
Jiang Manman put down her chopsticks: "I'm full, let's go. Weren't we going to pick out a gift for your friend? But if your friend doesn't like it, don't blame me."
"Okay, let's go to the mall."
Jiang Manman got into Liang Chen's car, and Liang Chen drove very fast. They arrived at the mall in no time.
This is a newly opened shopping mall; it just opened today, and there are already quite a lot of people.
The key point is that the boss will personally come to cut the ribbon.
They had already eaten when they arrived; the ribbon-cutting ceremony was over.
Jiang Manman said, "It seems there's an event today; there are quite a lot of people."
Liang Chen said, "Maybe."
While speaking, Liang Chen was also looking down, typing something on his phone, seemingly chatting with a friend.
"What do you want to buy for your friend?" Jiang Manman thought, hoping to finish shopping quickly so she could go home.
Liang Chen was still looking at his phone when Jiang Manman asked him again before he finally said, "Buy...buy that."
Neither of them had made anything clear, and then suddenly, Liang Chen grabbed Jiang Manman's hand: "Let's go this way."
Jiang Manman could only passively follow Liang Chen; she didn't know what Liang Chen wanted to buy.
Liang Chen simply led Jiang Manman for a stroll over there; they didn't actually go into the store.
Liang Chen did this intentionally, hoping to attract the attention of people nearby.
He then shouted loudly, "Manman, over there!"
The man who was surrounded not far away heard the voice of Manman and looked over sharply.
When Huo Yanchen saw Jiang Manman holding hands with another man, his eyes suddenly darkened.
Jiang Manman didn't see Huo Yanchen, but Huo Yanchen spotted Jiang Manman immediately, along with the man beside her and their hands clasped together.
This shopping mall opened today. It's a commercial street developed by the Huo Group. In addition to the mall, there are several other pedestrian shopping streets behind it.
As the boss, he came to cut the ribbon today.
But unexpectedly, I saw Jiang Manman here.
"Where?" Jiang Manman looked in that direction. Wasn't that a store that sold baby products? Was Liang Chen sure he wanted to go there?
Jiang Manman didn't notice Huo Yanchen, but Liang Chen did.
Or perhaps he already knew Huo Yanchen was there and deliberately brought Jiang Manman along.
I just messaged a friend, asking them to keep an eye on where Huo Yanchen is, so he can deliberately bring Jiang Manman over.
The point was to let Huo Yanchen see that he and Jiang Manman were together, to make Huo Yanchen think that they were on a date.
Out of the corner of her eye, Liang Chen noticed that Huo Yanchen had already looked over. He must have seen it.
Liang Chen tightened his grip on Jiang Manman's hand before taking her to a luxury store.
Liang Chen led her into a watch shop: "Manman, see what you like."
Jiang Manman also glanced at the baby supplies store across the street. Wasn't that the place Liang Chen was pointing to?
Jiang Manman tried to pull her hand back, but Liang Chen held it tightly.
Jiang Manman said, "Isn't it about buying a gift for your friend? It should be about what you think your friend likes."
