Problematic Sister Fell In Love With Me

Chapter 445 - Trust

Chapter 445: Chapter 446 Trust

“Is that it?” Talking to Dongfang little brat made me feel very tired. It was like squeezing toothpaste, she would only answer me when I pressed her…

“Is that everything she said to you? She didn’t say when your mother will come to pick you up? “Zhen Nuo’s reaction was also really strange. Since she knew Dongfang was in my house, why didn’t she do anything?

“Pick me up?” Dongfang dropped her console angrily after she was defeated by Chu Yuan and turned her head to glare at me as if it was my fault that she lost the game, “Do you still think that she really cares about me? I’m lucky she didn’t force me to go home and apologize to her right now.”

I felt more and more that it was presumptuous and beyond my power to intercede with Dongfang’s mother for her. The gap between her and her mother was far worse than I thought. No wonder Dongfang distrusted me and made such a pitiful and naive request…

I smiled helplessly and said, “Leaving you here without any worries, she actually trusts Yuan Yuan and me so much. Should I feel flattered?”

“You can also think it as she is looking down on you,” Dongfang snorted. Then she suddenly changed her tone and teased me: “I am such a beautiful young girl, and you, a male in the rut. Knowing that I am living with a male like you under the same roof but without any worries, clearly, she is looking down on you.”

Hearing this, Chu Yuan could no longer hold her straight face and finally burst out giggling.

I ignored Dongfang’s comment and said, “Maybe your mother has confidence in you.”

Dongfang was dazed, “What confidence does she have in me?”

“A rebellious girl like you would definitely be narcissistic enough that it would dispel all my interests in going after you…”

“You–” Dongfang was like an irritated kitten, her eyes widened in anger. However, the sad thing was that although she had a terrible personality, she was not as eloquent as me. Not knowing how to talk back, her face turned red with indignation.

Chu Yuan couldn’t stand it anymore, “Elder Brother, you are so rude! Is Dongfang not pretty? How can you say that to her? ”

What did I say? I simply said that she was rebellious and narcissistic. I didn’t say that she wasn’t pretty. I only said that I wasn’t interested in a girl like her. I rolled my eyes at Chu Yuan and said, “If I said that I’m interested in her, what would you think of me?”

Chu Yuan immediately answered me without any hesitation: “Animal!”

I was speechless…

Chu Yuan quickly realized that her reply just proved my point, but she would never admit defeat. She argued unreasonably: “But if you are not interested in a beautiful girl like her, it can only prove that you are worse than an animal!”

It is this theory again…

“Anyway, in your eyes, I am always either an animal or worse than an animal, so I don’t care about it anymore. You can say anything you like.” I coughed and said with a solemn expression, “Now I’m talking about a serious thing, Dongfang, since your mother doesn’t want you to go home anytime soon, does it mean that she is willing to talk to me?”

Putting aside Dongfang’s subjective understanding and looking at Dongfang’s mother’s actions objectively, this was actually a good sign. Since she allowed Dongfang to continue to stay in my flat for the time being, in a sense, it was a manifestation of her beginning to respect the will of Dongfang.

“I don’t know, Zhen Nuo should have passed the message to her. Maybe she will come to you tomorrow and have an argument with you, or maybe she will just beat you up. She may even just ignore you completely. But I think she probably wants to see when you will kick me out of your flat… You probably think that I’m lying, but she is actually this kind of person. Everything depends on her mood. I can’t control her mood, it’s always her mood that controls me.”

I didn’t think Dongfang was lying, because when she said this, there was a sadness in her eyes that was incompatible with her age, and that sadness could not be expressed by people who had never experienced it.

Seeing that I was silent, Dongfang sighed and said: “Don’t worry, I won’t stay here to cause trouble for you forever. Even if I wanted to, she would not allow me to do it. She doesn’t like to owe other people the most. Probably she is just busy with her work at the moment, so she doesn’t have time to talk to you. If she wants to see you, even if you don’t want to see her, she will still show up before you. I know that day will eventually come, so I’m ready for it… Anyway, it is very late now, so I need to go to bed.”

The topic of ‘mother’ caused Dongfang’s mood to be extremely dispirited. It could be seen that she was pessimistic about whether her mother would change her original plan and stop forcing her to study abroad.

“Elder Brother Nan…” Dongfang who walked to the bedroom door suddenly turned around, and asked, “You wouldn’t break your promises, right?”

Her sharp eyes made me very uncomfortable, “No, of course not…”

“That’s good,” Dongfang pressed her index finger on her red lips, and smiled mischievously and proudly: “If you dare to break your promise, don’t blame me for telling Yuan Yuan all the bad things you have done~ ”

I was drinking water nervously, trying to conceal my guilt, but Dongfang’s words almost made me spit out the water in my mouth. In Chu Yuan’s view, Dongfang’ used the action of pressing her index finger on her lips to tell me that I should keep my words. But I knew that she was referring to our accidental kiss in Earthly Paradise that night.

Was she threatening me? Or was she just joking? But this was not important. What was important was what Dongfang’s mother was actually thinking. Was it really for Dongfang’s future that she wanted Dongfang to study abroad, or was she simply imposing her own will on Dongfang? If it was the former, I would not mind breaking my promises, but if it was the latter…

“I’m a man of my words,” I said firmly and calmly, not disclosing what I really thought in my mind.

After a moment of daze, Dongfang stopped her mischievous attitude and nodded seriously, “I believe you.”

Although I felt very ashamed, I still had to pretend to be calm to show that I was an honest man that she could trust.

“Elder Brother, you are not lying to Dongfang, are you?” Seeing Dongfang close the door, Chu Yuan stopped packing up the consoles, grabbed the water glass in my hand, and questioned me with a cold face. From her action, I could tell that if I nodded, she would definitely pour the water on my head angrily.

“You do not believe me?”

“I want to believe you,” Chu Yuan glanced at the door carefully and lowered her voice: “But Dongfang’s request is so naive and unrealistic that even a fool would know it. Are you dumber than a fool?”

I couldn’t help but smile and say, “Since you know I can’t do it, why do you want to force me to agree to her request?”

Chu Yuan put the cup on the table and sat down next to me. She looked at me and said softly, “Dongfang is not a fool either, but she can still make this kind of naive request. It means that she really has no other choices. I know her too well. She knows better than anyone else that you are just fooling her, but she chose to believe you. You are the only one who can help her…”

In fact, I could also feel that Dongfang didn’t trust me completely. Otherwise, she wouldn’t half-jokingly threaten me just now. Seeing that Chu Yuan’s eyes became teary, I subconsciously stretched out my hand and wanted to stroke her head to comfort her like usual. Before I could touch her, she suddenly grabbed my hands and pitifully begged me: “Elder Brother, even if you can’t persuade Aunt Ran, can you please try to fight for Dongfang. Don’t let her feel that the world is really so heartless, okay?”

Dongfang was someone else’s daughter after all. Whether it was Chu Yuan or Dong Xiaoye, from the day Dongfang hid in my flat, we all knew that none of us would be able to really stop her mother from taking her… That was why Dong Xiaoye would side with Chu Yuan and force me to shelter Dongfang for so long. She was just trying to let Chu Yuan spend a few more days together with Dongfang.

“Mhm, I will.” I tried to withdraw my hand, but Chu Yuan grasped it tightly.

“Really?” Chu Yuan sniffled and finally held back her tears. “Okay, then I believe you too. If you dare to lie to me, I will complain to dad every day and say you are bullying me. You know what I would do.”

Not only did I know, but I was scared every time I thought about it. This bratty girl wouldn’t just rush to my old man to complain about me. She would find a persuasive reason beforehand, and her process of finding a reason would be the process of my suffering.
