The Devil’s love

Chapter 257 - College Mates

Awkwardly clearing his throat, Yitian answered, "Please ask her to wait, I'll be there in a minute."

After aunt Lin left, Ning grinned from ear to ear and excitedly inquired, "So, who is she?" ??

"Hmm she is just a college mate." Without waiting for her reply, he added, "She is not even in my department, we just have a class together."

"I see." Keeping quiet for quite some time, she smiled, "So is she cute?" When he hesitated for a while, Ning sighed, "So she is not cute—"

Cutting her off, he snapped, "No no, she is very cute—I mean she is...…"

"Alright I get it, she is cute and you like her," she chuckled.

Widening his eyes in shock, he vigorously shook his head, "I never said that I like her, she is just cute."

"Well, the cute girl from your college is waiting for you outside," Ning muttered.

Quickly shoving the snack in his mouth and gulping down the tea, Yitian rushed towards the living room.

After he left, Ning chuckled and helplessly shook his head before clearing the table.

…

Living room.

Standing behind the pillar, Yitian fixed his hair before walking towards Liying who was sitting on the couch.

Liying quickly got up when she saw him. Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, she smiled, "Hey."

"Hi, what are you doing here?" Thinking that he might have sounded a bit off, he cleared his throat and explained, "I mean, why did you take all the trouble to come here? Your place is quite far from here so—"

"It's alright, I just wanted to return your handkerchief." Taking it out of her bag, she gave it to him and smiled, "Thank you for giving it to me."

Taking it back, he smiled, "Thank you for giving it back."

Running her fingers through her hair, she hesitated for a while before saying, "I think I should go now."

"Do you want to grab a milkshake? There is a very nice place not too far away." Without waiting for her reply, he added, "If you are not getting late."

"I have plenty of time," she smiled.

"Let me grab my coat, wait for a second." Without waiting anymore time, he rushed towards the kitchen to tell Ning about it.

….

An hour later.

When Yichan arrived home, Ning was sitting on the couch reading a magazine.

Taking off his coat, he sat down beside her and placed his head on her lap. "Can I take your lap with me wherever I go?"

"Uh huh, I can rent them to you," she answered before running her other free hand through his hair.

"Okay so now I have to pay money to cuddle in my wife's lap?" When she nodded her head, he chuckled, "I thought I already had a license or something like that."

Keeping the magazine down, she started massaging his forehead. "Did you hear anything from Roger?"

"Nope, not a thing honey. It's like he disappeared in thin air." Helplessly shaking his head, he sighed, "We still have hope though."

"Do you really want him to approach you guys? Like after everything that happened in the past?"

"Well, I can understand the situation he was in so it's alright. Apart from the fact that he was into you or maybe he still is, I really don't have a problem with him," he answered.

Bending towards him, she kissed his forehead and smiled, "Why is my husband so cute?" Without waiting for her reply, she took off his tie. "Now why don't you go to the room and freshen up, I'll heat the food."

Getting up, he inquired, "Hmm where is Yitian?"

Passing him his coat, she chuckled, "Well, he is out with his college mate. Who by the way is your ex-fiancée's sister."

Scrunching his brows, Yichan retorted, "Why do you always say that babe?"

Shrugging her shoulder, she answered, "Apart from the fact that it's fun, I like teasing you.'

Helplessly shaking his head, he sighed, 'Well, if you are talking about Wang Liying then she is a very nice and sweet girl."

"Hmmm, Ziying and Liying are so different from your ex-fiancée." Pausing for a while, she inquired, "They are siblings right?"

"Yes honey."

"Well, who am I to say anything when my own sister is so different than me." Helplessly shaking his head, she chuckled, "You know how different Mangsha and I are."

Giving her a weak smile, he nodded his head but he couldn't help but feel a bit guilty in his heart. He hated lying to her but he also didn't want to tell her something that even he wasn't sure about.

"Okay let's not waste any time, go and freshen up first," she instructed.

"And before I forget, I'll have to leave early tomorrow."

"Early meeting?" When he nodded his head, she added, "Okay, I have a day off tomorrow so come home for lunch."

Kissing her forehead, he smiled and made his way towards the bedroom while Ning made her way towards the kitchen.

…..

Wang Mansion.

By the time Liying arrived home, everyone was having dinner.

Glancing at the watch, father Wang remarked, "You are late for dinner young lady."

Hesitating for a while, Liying answered, "I was out with a friend."

"Friend or boy friend?" Ziying chuckled.

"Ziying, stop teasing your sister," Mother Wang chided before looking at Liying, "Honey, come have dinner with us."

"Hmmm I already ate with my friend," Liying answered.

Raising his brows, father Wang inquired, "Well, can I know the name of your new friend?"

Keeping quiet for quite some time, she answered, "Mo Yitian."

Wang Juan who had been quiet for quite some time, scrunched her brows and snapped, "Mo? He is from the Mo family?"

"He is Mo Yichan's half brother," Ziying informed.

"So Mo Yitian is in the same college?" When Liying nodded her head, father Wang added, "Hmm go to your room and rest sweetheart, you must be very tired."

Without saying anything, she nodded her head and rushed towards her room.
