The Male Lead Suddenly Became My Lapdog after I Annulled Our Engagement

Now that she saw He Chen’s attitude towards He Miao, her eyes immediately narrowed dangerously. His attitude was as cold as ice. “Mm, Uncle He, I haven’t had the time to congratulate you on your return. I’ve let you worry about my personal matters first.”

He Chen did not mind his distant attitude at all. He pointed to the sofa opposite him and said calmly, “Have a seat. How long have you been together?”

This time, before Jing Yan could say anything, He Miao answered first, feeling a little guilty, “We’ve just been together for less than half a year.”

!!

“Yes.” He Chen’s unfathomable gaze landed on He Miao again, his dark eyes becoming even deeper and more distant. “Does Jing Yan treat you well?”

“Jing Yan is very good to me.” He Miao answered honestly.

Jing Yan, who was sitting at the side, was slightly taken aback. He looked at He Miao in surprise and asked, “You know Uncle He?”

However, he felt that it was impossible.

He Miao did not belong to this world. If she really knew He Chen, it could only mean that she and He Chen had known each other from their original world.

He Miao blinked innocently and looked at He Chen with uncertainty. “Do you know why some people like to sing in the middle of the night?”

He Chen’s distant gaze seemed to pass through countless years before finally landing on her. “Why?”

He Miao suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at Jing Yan with certainty and said, “I don’t.”

As intelligent as Jing Yan was, he could naturally tell that she was testing He Chen with those strange words. When he heard her say that, he confirmed his guess.

He Miao knew a man who looked exactly like He Chen in her original world and they were very close. Otherwise, she would not have asked such a strange question about singing in the middle of the night.

At the thought that He Miao might still be living in the same world as that man, he suddenly felt as if a thorn was stuck in his heart, so uncomfortable that he almost could not breathe.

When he looked at He Chen again, Jing Yan’s expression was completely dark. He said coldly, “Uncle He, the congratulatory gift for you has already been sent to your house. We still have something to do, so we’ll take our leave first.”

He Chen gestured for the two of them to sit down and continued to stare at He Miao. He smiled kindly and said, “You don’t have to be so wary of me. I only know He Miao’s mother.”

“You know my mother?” He Miao suddenly thought of the past grudges that He Feng had mentioned. She suddenly realized that the grudge between the two of them back then might have something to do with the original body’s mother, Ye Ning!

He Chen nodded gently. He got his butler to take out a few perfume recipes and placed them in front of her. “These were personally developed by your mother back then. I’ve never shown them to anyone. I know that you’re talented in making perfumes, so it’s the right time to give you these recipes.”

He Miao picked up the few thin pages of the formula in a daze. Looking at the beautiful handwriting on it, an inexplicable feeling surged in her heart.

He Miao could not tell if this intense sorrow was a reaction from the original body or from herself. She could only allow her tears to temporarily blur her vision as she said in a trembling voice, “I, can I take them and make them according to the formula?”

“Of course you can. This originally belonged to you.” He Chen ordered a few desserts and warm milk to be placed in front of her. “I don’t know if you’ve had your fill. If you’re hungry, you can eat some more here.”

Smelling the alluring fragrance of milk, He Miao felt that it was still not enough even though she was already 70 – 80% full from Jing Yan’s feeding. After thanking He Chen softly, she was the first to drink the milk.

The sweet taste spread in her mouth, and He Miao closed her eyes in satisfaction. Even the fatigue from earlier was dispelled by a lot.

Yeh Luo gritted her teeth as she read from the side, her eyes fixed on the few pages of the formula placed in front of He Miao.

That was something she had begged He Chen to give her for a long time, but He Chen did not agree to it!

When she looked at He Miao’s face that resembled the woman in the photo, what else did Yeh Luo not understand?

The young lady in front of her was actually the child of the woman He Chen had been thinking about!

Even though she was the bastard child of that woman and another man, he was still willing to smile at her and give her all the gentleness he had never seen before!

Then what was all the hard work that she had put in in the two years she had stayed in the he family for? Was she just a substitute?

The grievance and jealousy in his heart reached a peak. Yeh Luo closed her eyes and suppressed the bitterness in her eyes. Her voice trembled as she said, “Miss He, why are you here alone at such an important party? Didn’t your father come with you? He should also be an old friend of Uncle He, right? Why don’t you call him over to reminisce with Uncle He?”

The butler stole a glance at He Chen’s darkened expression. He wanted to stop her but it was too late. He could only force himself to chase her away. “Don’t talk nonsense. You’re not needed here for now. You can leave.”
