I Am Rich

48

Guan Zhiyi felt frustrated because of her own ridiculous thoughts, how confident she really was to think that the man in front of her who has always treated her as his own sister for so long, would suddenly have that kind of feelings for her.

"Here you are." When they entered, she saw Qi Chengyan standing in the living room waiting for them.

Guan Yuan Bai went over, patted Qi Chengyan on the shoulder and said in a subdued voice, "I think you should just give in." 

Qi Chengyan's expression was cold, "That's not going to happen."

"Why not, this person is quite good."

"Then I'll introduce her to you." 

Guan Yuanbai: "......"

"Xiao Wu, Yuan Bai, you are here, ah, come, come, let's eat." Qi Mingsheng greeted them.

Guan Zhiyi nodded and walked over to Qi Mingsheng, "Grandpa, what are we eating today?"

Qi Mingsheng patted the back of her hand dotingly, "There are several of your favorite dishes, if there is anything else you want to eat, I will ask the kitchen to make it for you."

Guan Zhiyi looked at it and smiled, "So many? There's no need to make more, it's enough."

"Then sit down and eat."

In a moment, the five of them sat at the dining table.

"What is Mengjia doing these days?" Qi Mingsheng asked.

Yang Mengjia: "Recently the company is doing a bioenergy project, my father asked me to follow and learn more."

"Really?" Qi Mingsheng said, "That's a coincidence. Cheng Yan also said that he was interested in this matter before, you two can have a good chat later."

Yang Mengjia hummed and glanced at Qi Chengyan.

Qi Mingsheng: "Cheng Yan, tell me, what was the project you were interested in last time called…"

"Grandpa, don't you know, in the previous board meeting, we decided not to do bioenergy for the time being," Qi Chengyan said lightly.

Qi Mingsheng smiled stiffly,"Ah, is it?"

Qi Chengyan said: "Well, maybe your memory has deteriorated a bit because of your old age, so you can't remember."

Qi Mingsheng: "......"

Yang Mengjia: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm actually just starting to follow this matter closely, I don't know much about it and probably can't talk much when it comes to this matter."

"Mengjia, you don't have to be modest." Qi Mingsheng glanced at Qi Chengyan, and said, "Oh yes, I heard that you like to travel, Chengyan has also visited many places, you can travel together in the future."

"I go to so many places for work. If you want to find a travel companion, you can go with Hua Hongxi."Qi Chengyan smiled at Yang Mengjia, "He is my cousin, very good at having fun. I will introduce him to Miss Yang next time. "

Yang Mengjia: "......"

Guan Zhiyi eating obediently while studying Qi Mingsheng's expression, she feels that Grandpa Qi is going to be furious.....

With Qi Chengyan's words having come to this point, anyone with a discerning eye can see what he meant. Guan Zhiyi thought silently, it turned out that it wasn't him who called Yang Mengjia here.

"What are you looking at, why aren't you eating?" Qi Chengyan suddenly raised his eyes and looked over. Guan Zhiyi was currently looking at him, so her eyes couldn't help but collide with him. Her eyes trembled, she quickly lowered her head to eat.

"Try this, auntie made it well today." Qi Chengyan put a piece of sweet and sour pork into her bowl.

Guan Zhiyi mumbled thank you.

Seeing this, Qi Mingsheng who was sitting next to Qi Chengyan, pulled his grandson's clothes, motioned him with his eyes to give Yang Mengjia some food. As though he didn't sense it, Qi Chengyan gave Guan Zhiyi another mouthful of food,"This one also very delicious."

Guan Zhiyi: "...oh."

"Have you got any fish here? Forget it I'll get it for you......and this meat is quite tasty, Xiao Wu, eat a lot......"Qi Cheng Yan gave her dishes every other moment. The speed of him giving her food completely exceeded her eating speed. 

In a moment, Guan Zhiyi's plate was piled up like a small mountain.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly and stopped him when he was about to put more food on her plate,"Enough brother, I can't finish everything."

Qi Chengyan: "You're still growing, eat more."

Guan Zhiyi: "......"

Guan Yuanbai glanced at Qi Chengyan,"Growing? She's been an adult for years."

Qi Chengyan's expression did not change, "Oh, then put on some meat, she's too thin."

Guan Yuanbai looked at Qi Chengyan's behavior, without doubt thinking that Qi Chengyan was deliberately distancing himself from Yang Mengjia in front of Elder Qi, so he curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of my sister. You just take care of yourself."

However, Qi Chengyan just smiled, completely ignored him, minding his best interest, giving Guan Zhiyi more food.

After a while, Elder Qi felt that the meal was not exciting and meaningless, and when they finished their meal, Yang Mengjia was immediately leaving.

"Grandpa Qi, I'm leaving first, thank you for your hospitality."

"Mengjia ah, come here again next time."

"Will do, grandpa."

"Cheng Yan!" Master Qi shouted sternly, stopping Qi Chengyan who came out of the kitchen, "Mengjia is going to her car, you send her to our garage."

Qi Chengyan did not refuse this time, but suddenly turned around and pulled Guan Zhiyi, who just appeared with a bowl of cherries, over,"Xiao Wu, come with me to send the guests away."

Guan Zhiyi: "Wait... this--"

"We will come back to eat this later." Qi Chengyan put the fruit bowl on the side and dragged her forward, turning around to greet Yang Mengjia in passing, "Let's go, Miss Yang."

Yang Mengjia glanced at the two and followed.

Guan Zhiyi now clearly understood that Qi Chengyan was not interested in Yang Mengjia, he even had to drag her along to send Yang Mengjia off, it couldn't be more obvious that he wanted to avoid arousing suspicion.

"I'm going back..." Guan Zhiyi whispered.

Before she finished speaking, he grabbed her shoulders, "We'll be there soon, What's so wrong with seeing the guests off together?"

"That's your guest, not mine."

"It's the same."

"How can it be the same!"

When the two were muttering with each other, Yang Mengjia also walked to her car.

"President Qi, can I have a word with you?"Yang Mengjia turned around and said.

Guan Zhiyi saw this and hurriedly wanted to slip away, however, Qi Chengyan was holding her firmly, she was absolutely unable to leave.

"You can say it."

Yang Mengjia glanced at Guan Zhiyi and smiled,"Allright, since Zhiyi is not an outsider, then I'll just say it frankly."

Qi Chengyan nodded his head.

Yang Mengjia: "I like you, I really like you."

Is this a confession? ?

Guan Zhiyi's back was covered with a layer of cold sweat, then what is she doing here now, being a light bulb?! And he still won't allow her to leave!

Yang Mengjia continued, "I came to know that Grandpa's legs were a little uncomfortable two days ago. I was hoping to see you again. You remember what I said before, right? I think we are really suitable, and now that I also have a favorable impression of you, I wanted to try once more. I know that going to your company as your fiancée without your permission before would leave a bad impression, but I did that with Grandpa's approval, so I thought you had acquiesced to it. That's why it became this way."

Qi Chengyan smiled, "Miss Yang, Doesn't this kind of thing have to be said from the concerned person's mouth? My grandfather doesn't represent me."

"That's true." Yang Mengjia smiled, suddenly said somewhat puzzled,"But what exactly did I do wrong, that made you hate me this much?"

"I don't hate you."

"Then-",

"It's just that I already have someone I like, I'm not at liberty to be ambiguously tangled with other people, nothing more."

Guan Zhiyi was stunned. He already have someone he likes? It's not Yang Mengjia? Then who….

Yang Mengjia was also taken aback for a moment, "Really? Who do you like?"

Qi Chengyan looked sideways at Guan without saying anything.

Guan Zhiyi stared at him dumbfoundedly, "...?"

Yang Mengjia looked at Qi Chengyan's gaze that fell on Guan Zhiyi. Suddenly recalling all the care he had previously done for Guan Zhiyi, immediately reacted, "You, you ......"

"Regardless of who I like, it would be unfair to Miss Yang, because I like that person very much, there is no way to pay attention to others." Qi Chengyan said, "So I think there's no need for you to spend any more effort on me."

Guan Zhiyi: "?"

Why are you still looking at me!!!

Yang Mengjia's face was full of abashment and anger , she then turned around, opened the car door and left.

When the sound of the car died down, the underground garage was quiet, so quiet that one could almost hear one's heartbeat.

Guan Zhiyi swallowed hard, "Brother, what are you doing, do you know that the look on your eyes just now can make people misunderstand!"

Qi Chengyan let go of her, said calmly,"Misunderstand what?"

"You just...you act like that, Yang Mengjia must have misunderstood that you like me! You really, still using me as your shield, I'm going to tell grandpa now-"

"What if it's not a misunderstanding?"

"What not...what?" Guan Zhiyi stopped abruptly, feeling her mind buzzing and suddenly went blank.

"I said, if it's not a misunderstanding, how would you feel?"

The tall man in front of her took a step towards her and got closer. He stared down at her, a pair of dark eyes seemed to be smeared with all the lights present, shining in fragments, gentle and soft, in love and inseparable, it was as if he wanted to suck her whole person in.

Guan Zhiyi opened her mouth, but was at a loss for words.

What did he say? It's not a misunderstanding?

He likes her, and it's not a misunderstanding?!

"Did I scare you?" Qi Chengyan looked at her dumbfounded look and sighed softly.

He has been slow enough, little by little, wanting her to gradually realize that his feelings towards her have changed, but does this still scare her?

However, whether it would scare her or not, he must go on.

At this point, he couldn't stop, and didn't want to stop.

"You, what do you mean?" Guan Zhiyi's eyes trembled, not knowing what to do.

"What I mean is, I'm not suitable to be your brother anymore." 

Her heart was pounding nervously, her ears flushed red, buzzing with noise. Guan Zhiyi looked at the man who was getting closer and closer, and was almost overwhelmed by the shock.

Even so, the man in front of her did not let her off, he raised his hand and touched her face, said softly,"Xiaowu, otherwise, how about being your boyfriend?"

He's out of his mind.

This was Guan Zhiyi's first thought.

Her hands trembled as she stared at him.

He actually says he likes her?

How could he......suddenly like her?

Guan Zhiyi didn't know how to describe her feeling at this moment, it was as though she was thrown into a jar of cotton candy, surrounded by the sweet and soft smell, however, she felt panic, feeling her whole body sinking down, nervous that she would not be able to get up when she tried to.

She also thought of the past: She secretly liked him, heard his rejection, heard him say he didn't like her….

She had decided to give up. She doesn't hold any hope towards him anymore.

But now, what's going on…

Qi Chengyan already prepared for her bewildered and clueless expression after his confession, but he didn't expect her to cry. At this moment, the little girl's eyes in front of him were frighteningly red, her tears were about to overflow at any second.

"Xiaowu...." He was taken aback.

Guan Zhiyi can't even straighten her tense tongue, "You, are you serious."

Tears fell down as she uttered a word, hitting the ground, and at last, seeping into his heart.

"Of course I'm serious." Qi Chengyan's throat tightened, "Don't cry, I just want to tell you about it, I didn't mean I want to be your boyfriend right away. Today is a bit sudden, but don't be afraid…"

Guan Zhiyi sniffed and reached out to wipe away her tears.

Qi Chengyan regretted saying it so abruptly, but he really didn't want to wait anymore. If he wait any longer, he don't know how many 'Yang Mengjia' would appear around him.

"No need to rush and respond to anything, just think about it." Qi Chengyan coaxed,"If you thought it through, maybe you might find that brother being your boyfriend is also pretty good."
