Chapter 54 - Chen Xiaoyi and Youmeng, Welcome BackChapter 54: Chen Xiaoyi and Youmeng, Welcome Back
“Miss Chen Xiaoyi, are you Big Brother’s girlfriend? Are you here to check on him?” Youmeng asked, feigning curiosity, but was unable to suppress the sourness and awkwardness in her heart.
In her previous life, this woman was one of Ye Chen’s people, aiding and abetting Ye Chen. It was just that she didn’t join Ye Chen in opposing her Big Brother. They merely had an employer-employee relationship; otherwise, Youmeng would have dealt with her too.
But in this life, how could she appear by Big Brother’s side?Nnew n0vel chapters are published on n0v/e(lb)i(n.)co/m
“Girlfriend!” Chen Xiaoyi’s face flushed red, the sudden question causing her sharp mind to short-circuit for a moment, shaking her head repeatedly: “Not yet.”
Youmeng narrowed her eyes at the ‘not yet.’
This indicated that this woman indeed harbored such thoughts, which was unacceptable. After finally finding her Big Brother, she wouldn’t let another woman get ahead of her.
A pure yet enchanting smile appeared on her face: “Is that so? I thought Big Brother might have found a girlfriend in the years I was gone.”
As if letting out a long sigh.
Calling him Big Brother one after another, showing the closeness between her and Lu Li, while subtly observing this woman, Youmeng was certainly not as simple as she appeared. Years of struggle, moving on the edge of life and death, some skills were self-taught.
Chen Xiaoyi’s face changed, her gaze at Youmeng starting to become peculiar, as if suggesting she knew Lu Li longer.
“Could this girl also like Lu Li?”
A sourness involuntarily surged in her heart, but then she firmed up. No matter what your relationship with Lu Li was in the past, you’ve been away for so many years, and now, I’m the one by Lu Li’s side.
The two stopped talking, quietly observing each other.
Until the sound of the door opening came from the entrance, and the villa’s door was pushed open.
Youmeng looked towards the newcomer. Even after several hours of calming herself, seeing the person in her heart appear before her again, she couldn’t help her eyes from reddening. She stood up, somewhat ungracefully running to Lu Li’s side. Looking at that familiar yet unfamiliar face, the boy she first met had now turned into a young man.
The years of searching, a lifetime of pursuit, once unreachable and making her willing to risk it all, now stood before her.
“Big Brother, I’ve missed you so much, I finally found you...” Youmeng, with tears streaming down her face, called out emotionally, wanting to tip-toe and offer her lips.
But she was stopped by Lu Li.
Lu Li wasn’t embarrassed at all, pulling Xiaomeng to sit on the sofa and also pulled Chen Xiaoyi over, a small gesture that revealed all his thoughts.
“What happened back then, how come you suddenly disappeared? Do you know how worried I was?”
Xiaomeng’s face was full of the happiness of reunion: “Back then, Big Brother, you hadn’t come for so long, I went to find you, but I got lost.”
“Got lost? How have you been these past years, Xiaomeng?”
Lu Li frowned, not expecting Xiaomeng was actually trying to find him.
“A lot happened, but slowly, I got through,” Xiaomeng smiled sweetly, indeed, a lot had happened, but fortunately, Big Brother, you’re still here. No matter how bitter or tough, it’s all worth it.
Now she had the ability to protect her Big Brother; this time, she wouldn’t let anyone harm him again.
Lu Li could tell Xiaomeng didn’t want to answer, so he could only helplessly shake his head.
Gripping her hand with compassion: “These years must have been tough. It’s good that you’re back.”
Being able to see the companion from his childhood again, Lu Li was genuinely happy.
“Being able to see Big Brother, Xiaomeng is really happy.” The pure yet enchanting eyes shimmered, Big Brother was still as gentle as before.
“By the way, Big Brother, I gave myself a name, Youmeng.” As if boasting, Youmeng shared with Lu Li, not wanting him to know about the hardships of these years, but some happy matters, she hoped to share with Big Brother.
“Youmeng!”
“Yes, Headmistress said she hoped Xiaomeng ‘has dreams, safe and sound throughout life,’ so I’m called Youmeng now.” Xiaomeng nodded emphatically, excitedly unaware of the darkening expression on Lu Li’s face.
“Have you been overseas these years? I’ve been looking for you, but no news?”
“Uh-huh, I was taken abroad, working overseas all this time.” Youmeng didn’t hide anything.
Hearing that Lu Li had been looking for her filled her with happiness.
“But don’t worry, Big Brother, I didn’t pick up any bad habits from foreigners. I’ve always been clean. I decided long ago that everything about me would be for Big Brother.” Holding Lu Li’s hand, her gaze filled with tenderness, she couldn’t hold back anymore.
