Ning Meng stared at Song Meilan nervously, not knowing what to say.
The study room was silent for a while, and this made Ning Meng even more nervous. She felt as if the air was about to freeze.
At this critical moment, the door to the study was suddenly pushed open and Huo Beichen strode in.
After entering the room, he seemed to have sensed the strange situation in the room and looked straight at Ning Meng. His pair of eyes, which were always drooping, were now slightly raised. With an inexplicable sense of shock, he lazily asked, "Are you still not leaving?"
Ning Meng quickly stood up and stammered, "Go … go … go …"
"You can't leave!"
Song Meilan stood in front of her. She didn't say it in front of Huo Beichen because she didn't want him to overthink it. After all, it wasn't easy for him to get out of the situation and he trusted the girl in front of him very much.
But now that they had met, there were some things that needed to be clarified. Moreover, from the girl's flustered appearance, she had already sensed that something was wrong with her.
She stood in front of Ning Meng and looked at Huo Beichen. "Little Chen, this man's background is unknown. Do you know anything about him? You … "
Before he could finish, he heard Huo Beichen say, "I know."
Song Meilan choked.
Her eyes widened in disbelief. The mole on her chin made her look a little comical, but she was still a gentle person.
Huo Beichen glanced at Ning Meng and asked, "Shall we go?"
Ning Meng nodded.
Song Meilan said earnestly, "Since you know, then don't you have anything to talk to Auntie about?"
Huo Beichen stopped in his tracks and looked at Song Meilan seriously. He said politely, "Auntie, I'm already an adult."
Song Meilan sighed. "Your mother and I are as close as sisters. She's gone, and you haven't taken the college entrance exam yet, and you haven't really entered society yet. I have to look after you on your mother's behalf. “
She pointed at Ning Meng and said, "She is not your cousin. A woman of unknown origin like her cannot stay in your house. What if she has some ulterior motives? You …"
Before she could finish her sentence, Huo Beichen interrupted her. "She is not an unknown person."
Song Meilan was stunned. "What?"
Huo Beichen continued, "She is not an unknown woman."
Song Meilan choked. "Then, then who is she?"
Ning Meng was stunned as well.
Did he know her?
That shouldn't be the case. She had appeared in this strange space and time without an identity card. She was an unregistered citizen and had appeared out of thin air. How did he know where she came from?
The last time she told him that she was his future wife, he had ignored her.
As she thought about this, she saw Huo Beichen looking at her.
His calm eyes were sparkling as he slowly said, "Auntie, she's actually my girlfriend."
"???"
Song Meilan:???
Huang Cheng, who was standing behind Huo Beichen, was confused.
The three of them looked at him in shock.
Song Meilan was at a loss for words. She paused for a moment before looking at Ning Meng and then at Huo Beichen. "W-w-what?"
Huo Beichen walked over and hugged Ning Meng's shoulders. "My parents knew her when they were still alive. When she heard about the incident, she immediately rushed over to accompany me."
Then, he looked at Ning Meng. "She's a fourth-year graduate from Yanjing University's Fine Arts Department. She's three years older than me. She said that she's my cousin so that she can tutor me."
Ning Meng had indeed graduated from Yanjing University!
It was one of the top universities in the country.
Song Meilan was shocked when she heard the name of the university. "Yanjing University?"
Huo Beichen did not blush at all when he lied. He nodded. "Yes. Otherwise, why would she tutor me?"
"…"
She actually believed him!!
After Huo Beichen finished, he looked at Song Meilan. "So, auntie, can we go now?"
Song Meilan awkwardly moved away. She looked at Ning Meng without the hostility in her eyes. There was only a bit of confusion and admiration. She only came back to her senses when they were about to leave the house.
She shouted, "Wait a minute."
Huo Beichen and Ning Meng stopped in their tracks and saw her walking toward them. "As Xiaochen's mother's best friend, I want to say a few words on behalf of his mother."
Ning Meng was still in shock when Huo Beichen said that she was his girlfriend. When she heard this, her eyes lit up and she imagined a scene.
Song Meilan took out a check and handed it to her. "Leave my best friend's son!"
So, should she take the check and leave?
Or should she bargain with Song Meilan?
Just as she was imagining things, Song Meilan stood in front of her and held Ning Meng's hand. "I'm sorry, Miss Ning. I misunderstood you. Xiaochen's parents are gone, and he's alone. I'm afraid that he might be cheated. Since you two are in such a relationship, I won't say anything more. "
"???"
Was Song Meilan so open-minded?!
Ning Meng's mouth twitched. Song Meilan sighed. "I just want to thank you on behalf of Xiaochen's mother. Xiaochen has been too depressed recently. It was you who gave up your job to take care of him. I'm really sorry …"
"???"
She did want to go to work, but she did not even have an identification card. Who would want her?
She could only earn some money in school and use it to buy groceries!
After Song Meilan said this, her eyes turned red. She wiped her eyes and smiled. "In the past, when I invited Xiaochen over for dinner, he would never come. In the future, you two should come to my house more often. Also, don't forget about tutoring Huang Cheng! "
Huo Beichen, who was beside her, heard this and looked at her.
It was not a problem for Ning Meng to reject him after all.
However, he did not expect this person to nod his head like a fool. He even patted his chest and said shamelessly, "No problem."
Huo Beichen was speechless.
When the two of them left the Huang family, Ning Meng was still in a daze. She followed Huo Beichen instinctively. After a few steps, Ning Meng suddenly remembered that she had a girlfriend. She looked at Huo Beichen and asked, "Hey, why did you say that I'm your girlfriend?"
Huo Beichen had both his hands in his pockets, and his back was slightly hunched. The boy was tall, and he only glanced at her when he heard this. "You said it."
Ning Meng was puzzled.
She suddenly remembered that when she first met him, he had said that she was his future girlfriend!
But he did not admit it at that time!
Ning Meng thought about this and asked fiercely, "Then, what you said just now … Does that mean that you admit it?"
After saying this, the boy quickened his pace and disappeared around a corner.
Ning Meng immediately quickened her pace to catch up. "Hey, why are you running so fast? You … "
As soon as she turned the corner, her arm was grabbed by someone, and her body was pressed against the wall behind her. Then, Huo Beichen pressed down on her.
