Chapter 22 - 22. Jealousy

Mo Ling thought that the old man was worried about her safety now that she remembered her identity.

So she slightly nodded at Bi Yuhan as an agreement and turned to look at Seven.

Seven instantly turned vigilant when he spotted Bi Yuhan and grew anxious when he heard that he's going to take away Mo Ling from him.

Mo Ling turned helpless when she caught the anxiety in the boy's eyes.

"Give me your phone."

Seven reluctantly gave his phone to her and saw her sending a message to Reaper. He withered like a flower when he knew that he couldn't get to go with Mo Ling.

After sending the message, Mo Ling took out the sour candy given by Xue Lili which she threw in her bag and gave it to Seven.

Seven saw the candy and looked up instead of reaching out to take it.

He doesn't want candy. He wants to be with her.

"Sigh.. I'll come and play with you this weekend. Ok?" She coaxed gently.

"Alright." He at last smiled and took the candy.

Bi Yuhan saw the interaction between the boy and girl before him silently. Jealousy sprouted inside him when he heard Mo Ling's pampered tone towards the girl.

"We should go." His tone was cold and he turned to open the car door.

Mo Ling went and sat in the backseat.

Bi Yuhan and Seven coldly looked at each other for a few seconds before turning their heads simultaneously.

~~~

Assistant Chen drove the car stiffly while glancing at the back seat from the rearview mirror from time to time.

He was first surprised that Sir was going to pick up Mo Ling personally.

He didn't think much about this matter deeply at that time. But now..

He felt the coldness radiating from the person behind and related it to the scenes he saw before the school gate.

One thing he's sure of is that his Sir is jealous. Definitely jealous.

But why?

He then looked at the person sitting beside his Sir. A ridiculous thought came to his mind.

'Did he..? No, no.. what am I thinking?'

'He can't be right? So far I didn't see that Sir is interested in any females. He is not even attracted to Li Weiwei who's a perfect goddess to every bachelor in the capital. And she's even head over heels on Bi Yuhan.'

Assistant Chen's mentality crumbled when his guess slowly turned into a fact inside his mind.

When Assistant Chen is struggling with himself, the atmosphere in the backseat is a little tense.

Mo Ling was preoccupied with Seven's situation. When Reaper reported that he successfully picked him up, she finally felt relieved.

Only then did she notice that the person sitting beside her is colder than normal.

She thought about it and felt that he's unhappy that he got disturbed from his work because of her.

"You don't have to pick me up. I will talk to grandpa about it."

Bi Yuhan paused his typing when he heard what she said and excluded even more coldness.

Assistant Chen shivered literally and prayed in his heart that the journey would come to an end quickly.

He can't take it anymore.

'Did I say something wrong?' Mo Ling got confused when she felt the coldness intensify.

When he looked at the confusion in the boy's eyes Bi Yuhan restrained his thoughts.

Even he didn't understand why he's behaving like this.
