It seemed that Chen Hao was mollified by Cheng Peizeng's agreement, as he relaxed a bit and said, "So that's how it is. I thought you were specifically opposing me?"
"Haha, I'm just kidding, brother," Cheng Peizeng laughed, then suddenly asked, "But what brings you back this time?"
This was entirely a case of "feigning ignorance" since just moments earlier, in the next room, Cheng Peizeng had overheard everything. However, he couldn't be the one to bring it up; otherwise, both Chen Hao and Miaomiao would know he had been eavesdropping.
"Me?" Chen Hao organized his thoughts, sighed lightly, and then said, "Miaomiao is, after all, the apple of my eye. Even though I haven't been seeing her much, I'm afraid that seeing her more would only make it harder to let go in the future..."
"So what are you implying, brother?" Cheng Peizeng perked up upon hearing this, as it sounded like Chen Hao didn't intend to take Miaomiao away after all.
