From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love
Chapter 128: Showing Affection in the Car

Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Showing Affection in the Car

Bai Yurou felt uneasy as everyone’s eyes were on her, her heart pounding erratically.

How was she supposed to spin this?

Bai Yurou smiled at the few people and forcefully explained, "I just thought that since today is Uncle Li’s birthday, if the name in the fireworks were my sister’s, I was afraid others might gossip too much and damage her reputation."

This explanation should be acceptable.

Bai Yurou said with a wronged expression, "I’m just afraid others will talk about my sister; what bad intentions could I possibly have?"

Since Li Yehan had put Nan Qiao’s name into the fireworks, he had considered this aspect.

Li Yehan spoke up, "He celebrates his birthday, and I set off my fireworks; what’s the connection? The fireworks are being set off here, who around can see them?"

Bai Yurou felt overwhelmed by Li Yehan’s formidable presence, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Once again, Li Yehan’s voice echoed in her ear, "Anyone with an objection can let me hear it!"

Li Yehan left her speechless!

The domineering Li Yehan made Bai Yurou feel intimidated. She didn’t dare to speak up in contradiction.

This villa was indeed in a remote location, meant to confine Li Tianhong, with few people around, a place most wouldn’t visit.

Faced with such a situation, Grandpa Li also tried to smooth things over, "Although it is Tianhong’s birthday, it’s not wrong for him to prepare a surprise for his future daughter-in-law to please Qiaoqiao."

Li Yehan watched Bai Yurou’s timid gaze, his crimson lips curving into a mocking smile, "I wonder if this answer satisfies Fourth Miss Bai?"

Bai Yurou shuddered and stepped back half a step, frightened by Li Yehan.

"It was my undue worry, I didn’t mean anything else..."

Bai Yurou looked pitifully at Chen Xinwan, appearing extremely aggrieved and sad.

Chen Xinwan had watched Bai Yurou grow up; how could she bear to see her wronged like this?

"Yurou is just too worried. But Yurou, Ye Han always considers everything carefully; you don’t need to worry so much."

Chen Xinwan took Bai Yurou’s hand and comforted her softly.

Yet Bai Yurou felt that Chen Xinwan was still siding with Nan Qiao; with a biological daughter, she had forgotten about her, the girl raised by the Bai Family.

Even if she were the false heiress, she had lived as the Bai family’s lady for eighteen years!

Nan Qiao smiled with a lift of her lips, her voice melodious and gentle, "Yurou, thank you for your concern, you really are a good little sister."

Bai Yurou forced a smile, always feeling that Nan Qiao was implying something.

"Sister, you are understanding; you surely won’t misinterpret my meaning," Bai Yurou said with a smile.

Nan Qiao responded with a smile without a word, and the others didn’t bring up the matter again, returning to the living room, for it was still too hot outside.

Nan Qiao was a bit tired and yawned. Li Yehan quickly said, "Qiaoqiao, let me take you home."

Nan Qiao nodded, and Li Yehan, taking advantage of Bai Zhenyang and Chen Xinwan still talking with Grandpa Li, led Nan Qiao away.

Seeing this, Bai Yurou trotted forward, "Sister, can I ride in Brother Han’s car? I want to go back too. My feet hurt from wearing high heels for so long."

Before Nan Qiao could speak, Li Yehan said, "All right."

Nan Qiao: ?

She always felt Li Yehan wasn’t so simple; why would he let Bai Yurou ride in his car?

However, Bai Yurou was overjoyed and followed Li Yehan cheerfully, walking happily until the car stopped in front of them.

Li Yehan opened the passenger door, "Princess, please get in."

Nan Qiao laughed, "Where did you hear that line?"

"Secretary Zhao said it’s very popular online."

Nan Qiao got into the passenger seat with a laugh. Bai Yurou stood dumbly by the door at the back, unseen by Li Yehan, who got into the driver’s seat, started the car, and drove off smoothly.

Fearing Li Yehan would leave her behind, Bai Yurou quickly opened the door and got in.

As soon as the door closed, the car started.

If she had been a step later, she definitely wouldn’t have been able to catch a ride with Li Yehan, leaving Bai Yurou fuming inside.

For eighteen years, she was pampered by the Bai Family, never lacking in anything luxurious.

The little princess pampered by all had fallen only for Li Yehan.

Just as Bai Yurou was about to speak, the partition rose, splitting the space inside the car into two.

Bai Yurou: !!

Li Yehan had done this on purpose!

No wonder Li Yehan agreed to let her get in the car, it turned out he did it to intentionally embarrass her!

Sitting in the same car, Nan Qiao was also a bit stunned. Why had Li Yehan even used a lifting board?

At the traffic light ahead, Li Yehan gazed at the smile in Nan Qiao’s eyes and reached out with his right hand to touch her head, "You’re so obedient."

Nan Qiao frowned unhappily, "Do you think I’m a dog?"

"I’m just looking at you, thinking how obedient and cute you are. I couldn’t help but reach out and touch your head," Li Yehan said with a smile.

Nan Qiao: "..."

Nan Qiao also stretched out her hand, intending to touch Li Yehan’s head.

Li Yehan leaned his head forward, making it convenient for Nan Qiao to touch.

Nan Qiao said with a laugh, "Li Yehan, you’re quite obedient too."

He actually leaned his head in, and Nan Qiao couldn’t help but touch it.

Li Yehan smiled without speaking and continued driving.

"What do you want to eat tomorrow? I’ll bring it to you."

"No need, there’s food at home."

"Then I’ll come to your home to eat."

Nan Qiao: "Li Yehan, are you serious?"

"Serious. I’ve always been serious about you."

Nan Qiao was startled, and Bai Yurou, who was sitting in the back, had a face turned livid.

She should have known better than to ride in Li Yehan’s car!

Li Yehan did it on purpose!

Li Yehan and Nan Qiao were trying to flaunt their love in front of her!

Bai Yurou didn’t want to watch but couldn’t get out of the car halfway, so she had to endure the display of affection all the way home.

When they arrived at the front door of the house, Bai Yurou pushed open the car door to get out, unable to conceal her strained smile.

Bai Yurou took the initiative and asked, "Brother Han, thank you for driving us back. Would you like to come in for a cup of coffee?"

Li Yehan’s handsome face was irresistible, and Bai Yurou couldn’t help but gaze at him.

Li Yehan looked at Nan Qiao with a doting expression, "I’ll take you to work tomorrow morning. Go inside, it’s a bit hot out here."

Worried Nan Qiao would disagree, he left immediately after speaking, leaving her no chance to refuse.

Li Yehan drove away, and Bai Yurou’s gaze followed him.

Uncle Wang came out, speaking respectfully, "Good evening, Miss and Fourth Miss Bai. I asked the kitchen to make some mung bean soup. It’s in the refrigerator, definitely refreshing to drink."

Nan Qiao: "Thank you, Uncle Wang."

"Miss, you’re too polite," Uncle Wang said with a beaming smile.

Bai Yurou huffed unhappily and walked into the house herself.

...

Nan Qiao took off her gown, removed her makeup, showered, and came down in her pajamas to drink chilled mung bean soup when Hou Ze called her.

"Boss, I’m impressed. You got Li Yehan to spend a fortune! I heard from the organizer that the gown was also bought for you by Li Yehan."

Nan Qiao: "I didn’t expect that."

Hou Ze: "Boss, Li Yehan is so good to you, have you already fallen for him?"

"Hou Ze, do you have too much free time on your hands? Want me to find you something to do?"

"No, boss, I’m particularly busy. These past few days I’ve been expanding our business, and I need to contact your apprentice, I’m too busy."

"Being busy is good, it’ll keep you from spouting nonsense all the time."

Nan Qiao hung up Hou Ze’s call and then received one from Zheng Qinnian.

"Qiaoqiao, was that chatterbox Hou Ze hogging the line?"

Nan Qiao said with a laugh, "Him? He’s just too gossipy. Are you calling because there’s progress with the experiment?"

"Yes, the hair growth solution you developed really works and has no side effects. Do you want to start production and sales? I can help you connect with reliable partners."

Nan Qiao: "Sure, you handle it. Let me know if anything comes up."

Nan Qiao saw Bai Yurou approaching and hung up the phone.

However, Bai Yurou felt that something was off with Nan Qiao.
