740: Jealous

Jealous

"Mom, she isn't eating properly but the doctor said she needs to take care of your body and eat nutritious food because she is very weak." 2

"Stop lying, the doctor never said I am very weak. He said that I am weak," Clara retorted.

Raising his brows, Ben asked, "Uh huh, what is the difference between weak and very weak?" 

"Weak is just weak and very weak is very weak." 

Helplessly shaking his head, he muttered, "You are still very stupid." 

Clara frowned and snapped, "Did you just call you me stupid?" 

He vigorously shook his head and said, "No honey, I didn't." 

Crossing her arms in the front, she glared at him, "Stop lying Ben, I clearly heard what you said,"

"Alright the two of you stop it now," Rose chuckled.

Realizing that Ben's parents were still in the room, Clara lowered her and blushed in embarrassment. 

"Ben, step out with your dad for a bit and let me spend some time with Clara." 

Keeping the bowl down, Ben nodded his head and left along with Quin. 

Sitting down beside Clara, Rose poured some soup for her and said, "Sister Ming made this soup especially for you because this helps in the nourishment for the body. You have no idea how many bowls I was forced to drink after giving birth to Ben's youngest brother—"

"Nuan, Ben told me about everyone when we were dating but I never got a chance to meet anyone because—" stopping midway, Clara lowered her head. 

Placing her hand on Clara's, Rose shook her head, "There is nothing to be sad or guilty about because everything is in the past now. You both have shared an equal share of suffering which is okay because suffering and making mistakes is an essential part of our lives. But you know what is the most important thing?" Pausing for a while, she added, " Learning from your mistakes and never repeating them in the future."

"I don't know what happened between you both and who was at fault back then and trust me honey, I don't care. I just want you both to be happy and live a peaceful life together." Rose continued.

"Thank you so much aunty I—"

"Ahh don't call me aunty, you should start calling me mom."

Clara smiled and nodded her head, "Okay….mom." 

Patting her head, Rose smiled, "Don't worry about anything else okay? Our Li family is very warm and welcoming, you are going to be loved by all." 

Without waiting for her reply, Rose started feeding her with the soup. 

….

Liptop cafe.

"Okay, so you are angry because he was flirting with some other woman?" Mian asked.

"Yes," 

"And you are also angry because he is the actual owner of the company?" Yumi added.

"Yes," 

Mian sighed and helplessly shook her head. "Let me get this straight, so jealous because he was flirting with someone else and you are angry because he lied to you." 

Taking a sip from her coffee, Linyang frowned, "I am not jealous."

"Sureeeeee," Mian chuckled.

"Linyang, do you like this Andrew guy?" Yumi asked.

Linyang frowned and vigorously shook her head, "Of course not." 

"Then why are you angry over that flirting thing?" When Linyang did not say anything, Mian added, "Why don't you talk to him?" 

Yumi nodded her head and sighed, "I agree with Mian over this. I mean why would he lie to you about the company? There has to be a reason behind it right?" 

"Yes, so why don't you talk to him and try to figure out?" 

Taking another sip of her coffee, Linyang immersed herself in a very deep thought. She wanted to talk to him too but at the same time, she didn't want to. She was still very angry over the fact that she was flirting with another woman right on her face and had been lying to her for so many months. 

"Ahh Zixin called, I think they are waiting outside," Yumi said before her bag.

"Wait, where are we going?" Linyang asked.

"We are going to the hospital to meet sister Clara."

…..

Yushen's car.

"Hey man are you alright?" Yushen asked Guang who was lost in his own thoughts.

"Ahh yes, I am alright," Massaging his forehead, he sighed. He had been feeling very stressed after having a talk with Yushen about how he wasn't comfortable with his friend dating his sister.

As he was about to daze out again, he received a text from Qiang.

[Babe♡: What are you doing?]

Before he could reply, another message popped up.

[Babe♡: I was wondering whether I should show you my other red lingerie] 

[Guang: I don't care about the lingerie, I just wanna see my babe]

[Babe♡: How cheesy Mr Lui, but I like it so you are gonna get rewarded tonight] 

[Guang: Tonight? Do you want me to sneak into your room again?]

[Babe♡: I heard that you boys are planning to play video games all night today. Why don't I leave the door open so that you can sneak in anytime you want? What do you say Mr Lui?]

When Guang chuckled and helplessly shook his head, Yushen asked, "What are laughing at? I wanna laugh too."

Keeping his phone inside his pocket, Guang cleared his throat. "It's nothing, just a silly joke." Wouldn't Yushen kill him if he showed him how he was planning to sneak in his sisters room at night so that she could show him the lingerie she had brought?

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Guang asked, "What about the gaming night dude? Is it still on?"

"Of course man, I need to go meet Jenni for a while and Ash will be out too so we all can meet in my place at night. You are coming right?" He asked.

"Of course I am, how can I miss our gaming night?" How can he miss a chance to hug his Qiang to sleep?

"Cool, remind me to remind the guys about it okay?"
