Adored by Him: My Blissful Days as the Girl Next Door-Chapter 394 - 393 May 20

Zhao Meimei fell asleep groggily with the help of alcohol, and when she woke up, it was already past eleven at night. She habitually called out "Brother" as she got up and heard Shi Yang’s voice coming from the study.

Wobbly, Zhao Meimei headed to the study. She pushed the door open and saw Shi Yang sitting in front of the computer, typing away.

Shi Yang shifted his gaze from the computer screen and looked at Zhao Meimei, "Awake?"

Zhao Meimei moved closer, sat on the chair next to Shi Yang, and leaned back stretching lazily, "Yeah, Brother, my head hurts."

Shi Yang glanced at her, didn’t say anything, and continued typing away on the keyboard, especially focused.

Zhao Meimei played the pity card but didn’t get the comfort she expected. She paused and turned to Shi Yang, questioning, "Brother?"

Shi Yang didn’t even turn his head, "Hmm?"

Zhao Meimei whined, "My head really hurts."

Shi Yang let out an "oh" in response, his hands still moving.

Zhao Meimei stared at Shi Yang, squinting slightly, and tentatively asked, "Brother, are you angry?"

Shi Yang paused for a moment, "Nope."

Zhao Meimei scooted her chair closer to Shi Yang, "You must be angry."

Shi Yang turned to look at her, "What do I have to be angry about?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Meimei knew that Shi Yang was indeed angry, quite angry actually.

Zhao Meimei thought for a moment and said, "Brother, are you mad because I drank alcohol?"

Shi Yang snorted, "What’s the big deal about drinking? I drink too."

Zhao Meimei self-reflected, "You drink for work socializing, I drink purely to mess around with Peng Hui and the others."

Shi Yang glanced at her, his anger slightly subsiding, and asked, "Wasn’t it a dinner party? How did you end up drinking?"

Zhao Meimei honestly confessed, "While shopping at the supermarket, Peng Hui casually suggested it, and Mengmeng and I just went along. We didn’t actually drink much. I only felt a bit dizzy after getting home and catching some wind."

Shi Yang sounded displeased, "You all drank, yet didn’t think to have someone accompany you back?"

Zhao Meimei reached out and hugged Shi Yang’s arm, "Peng Hui left halfway through dinner, Mengmeng was the only one left in the dormitory, and I was pretty sober at the time, not drunk at all. I only felt a little dizzy after getting home."

At this point, Zhao Meimei suddenly remembered something, "Oh, Brother, you don’t know, Sister Rui’s pregnant."

"Peng Rui?" Shi Yang was surprised, "Didn’t you say she got divorced?"

Zhao Meimei immediately said, "Ah, yes, she did get divorced. But yesterday, during dinner, she suddenly called Peng Hui and said she’s pregnant, which is why Peng Hui rushed back."

"Is that so." Shi Yang replied indifferently, not particularly interested in Peng Rui’s affair.

Zhao Meimei just mentioned it casually, and after speaking, she threw it to the back of her mind.

Shi Yang’s anger dissipated, and he began to feel sympathy for Zhao Meimei. After sleeping for so long, her stomach must be empty.

Shi Yang asked, "Hungry? I’ll cook you a bowl of noodles?"

Zhao Meimei heard this and knew the matter was settled, hastily nodded, "Sure."

Shi Yang started cooking noodles, and Zhao Meimei clung to his waist, following him with every step.

Shi Yang amusedly nudged her away, "That’s enough, wait outside. You’re in the way here."

Zhao Meimei wouldn’t let go, "I want to stay here with you. Brother, you don’t know, you look so charming while cooking noodles."

Shi Yang turned around, facing Zhao Meimei, "Cooking instant noodles is charming?"

Zhao Meimei said, "It’s not just cooking noodles, everything you do is charming."

Shi Yang laughed, "You’ve been watching for so many years, aren’t you tired of it?"

Zhao Meimei seriously said, "No, never tired, I could watch you my whole life and not get tired. Brother, I can imagine, even when you’re old, you’ll be the handsomest and most dashing of all the old men."

Shi Yang was utterly flattered by Zhao Meimei’s words, smiling, "Is that so? Then you should always stay with me, so one day when I’m really old, you can see if I’m as handsome as you say."

Zhao Meimei looked up, "I will definitely stay with you, I want to grow old with you."

Shi Yang reached out to pinch her cheek, "Meimei, there’s something I want to discuss with you."

Zhao Meimei, "What is it?"

Shi Yang, "I’ve picked a date. On May the 20th, shall we go and get our marriage certificate?"

Zhao Meimei’s face suddenly beamed with a smile, showing a mouthful of white teeth, "Really?"

Shi Yang kissed her, "Really, originally I planned to get it on New Year’s Day, but couldn’t make it back then. One of my coworkers is planning to have their wedding this May 20th, saying both the lunar and solar calendars align on double days this year, making it an especially good day. Since it’s such a good day, why don’t we get our certificate then for luck?"

Zhao Meimei was beyond excited, her face flushed, "May 20th is such a good day, it’s 5-2-0, I love you."

Shi Yang asked with a smile, "Say it again, who do you love?"

Zhao Meimei said like a slogan, "Brother, I love you."

Shi Yang, eyes full of smiles, leaned down and kissed Zhao Meimei, joy rising from his heart...

While Zhao Meimei was slurping her noodles, Shi Yang said, "Meimei, tomorrow night Xu Hongbin is treating us to dinner, I’ll come home to pick you up then."

Zhao Meimei was startled, "Xu Hongbin? Why is he treating us to dinner?"

Shi Yang, "He’s planning to sell off his two maternity stores and come work for my company."

Zhao Meimei realized, "Oh, buttering up the boss."

Shi Yang laughed, "It’s not entirely because of that. There’s another reason too: he’s pursuing your teacher Zhang."

Understanding swiftly dawned on Zhao Meimei, she chuckled, "Brother, this Xu Hongbin is so cunning. He’s aiming for three birds with one stone! Not only sucking up to you, the boss, but also using me, the original partner, to dispel Zhang Jiahui’s wicked intentions, while finding an opportunity to win her over. Brother, this guy is really crafty!"

Shi Yang laughed heartily, wrapping an arm around Zhao Meimei, "What’s in that little head of yours, thinking about these things all day? Sneaking in? Winning her over? You sure know a lot!"

Zhao Meimei lifted her thin eyelids, dismissively pouting her lips, bothered by those useless troublesome affairs.

Zhao Meimei reached out to grab Shi Yang’s hand, seeing the ring shining on his finger, and checked for the watch on his wrist, satisfactorily letting go once she confirmed it was there.

Shi Yang looked at Zhao Meimei’s petty expression, finding it amusing. He loved seeing Zhao Meimei get jealous, it filled his heart with joy, making her so endearing.
