I am not just a tycoon

Chapter 435: Chapter 317: Today, I, Teacher Lih, Will Be Proud and Arrogant Too!

The four of them had a casual chat for a while, and soon it was time for dinner. Shen Yuan suggested going out to eat, but Lih Xiao said she had bought a lot of food, so they should just cook at home.

Ha, what a hypocritical woman—she clearly prepared for my visit today, but pretended to be indifferent.

However, Teacher Lih looked pretty cute like this, less stern like a teacher, and more coy like a young girl.

“Then let me help you.”

Shen Yuan also stood up and followed Lih Xiao into the kitchen.

Lih Meng watched as their backs disappeared and felt a pang of jealousy. She stood up abruptly, “I’ll help too.”

“Hey, Mengmeng, just don’t bother,”

Sun Yuan crunched on the chips and stopped her. “The little couple had a tiff and now is the perfect time for them to thaw it out alone. If you go, you’ll ruin the mood.”

Lih Meng gave her a cold look and thought to herself, mind your own business, why are you always poking your nose into our affairs!

And Mengmeng, who even asked you to call me that! Nosy girl!

“I’m going back to my room!”

Lih Meng didn’t want to stay in the same space as her, so she headed straight back to her room, slamming the door loudly behind her.

“Xiaoxiao is so gentle, how did she end up with a hothead of a sister like you? I don’t think I’ve ever offended her, have I?”

Sun Yuan shook her head silently and continued munching on her chips.

Lih Xiao took out the ingredients from the fridge on her own and started washing them, deliberately ignoring Shen Yuan.

Even though it had been more than a week since they had seen each other, and Lih Xiao really missed him, she still didn’t want to be the first to speak.

“I can’t let him realize, otherwise, with Shen Yuan’s style, he’d take an inch next time.”

With that thought in her mind, Lih Xiao washed the vegetables expressionlessly.

“Teacher Lih, I’ve come to apologize, why do you still look so upset?”

Shen Yuan approached her, stroking her silky hair.

Usually at home, she didn’t tie her hair up, but let it down, which felt very smooth to touch.

Lih Xiao ignored him and even stepped aside to stop him from touching her hair, thinking who allowed you to call me a cradle-snatcher!

“Teacher Lih, let me help you. It’s tiring to wash all by yourself.”

Shen Yuan, unabashed, followed her as she moved away, and helped her rinse the rice and wash the vegetables.

“Teacher Lih, I’m sorry, I just spoke without thinking last time.”

Shen Yuan walked over with a grin and nudged her delicate shoulder.

Lih Xiao still didn’t speak, but thought to herself that it should be enough soon, if Shen Yuan could coax me a bit more, I might forgive him.

“Don’t be mad, Teacher Lih. Just think about that Häagen-Dazs you just ate,” Shen Yuan nudged her again.

Lih Xiao pretended not to react, thinking just one more sentence to go, coax me, Shen Yuan; you’re smart enough to see through my act!

Shen Yuan flicked the water off his hands, sighed, and said, “Ah, it seems I came here for nothing. The gifts and the Häagen-Dazs were all bought for nothing. I might as well go home; I’m not welcome here.”

When Lih Xiao heard Shen Yuan was about to leave, she stomped her foot, “Shen Yuan!”

Shen Yuan turned his head with a smile, “What’s wrong, can’t bear to see me go?”

“You’re doing this on purpose!”

Lih Xiao’s cheeks flushed as she retorted playfully, “You’re too cunning! You had already figured it out but just didn’t want to coax me more.”

“Hahaha, all right, all right, don’t be mad at me.”

Shen Yuan wrapped his arm around Lih Xiao’s shoulder and planted a kiss on her tender cheek.

“Ew, that’s a lot of saliva.”

Lih Xiao pushed him away disdainfully, then glared at him, “You’re getting worse, always bullying your teacher!”

“Hehehe.”

Shen Yuan, after being pushed away, wrapped his arms around her from behind instead, resting his chin on her shoulder. “Teacher Lih, have you been missing me lately?”

“What does it matter if I missed you? Someone clearly doesn’t miss me.”

Shen Yuan chuckled, “How do you know someone doesn’t miss you?”

Lih Xiao remained unsatisfied, “Because someone doesn’t message me. It would be okay if they messaged every two or three days, but sometimes they don’t even reply, and they complain I’m old too.”

Shen Yuan’s hands explored around her waist, “It’s just because I’ve been busy. That’s why I came to apologize, but who knew she still wouldn’t forgive me.”

Lih Xiao swatted his restless hands away and declared, “I don’t care, today I shall be coy. You need to coax me ten more times before I forgive you.”

Shen Yuan quickly agreed, “Alright, alright, not just ten times, I’d coax you a hundred times.”

Just then, Sun Yuan thought the couple might have made up and decided to see if there was anything she could help with, but ended up overhearing their conversation.

I’m superfluous!

The single Sun Yuan almost wanted to slap herself; tasting this simultaneously sweet and sour dog food was not because they were deliberately feeding her, but because she walked right into it.

Sitting back on the sofa, Sun Yuan, after sampling the ‘dog food’, was still marveling. She hadn’t expected the typically elegant Teacher Lih to also have such a girlish side.

Tsk tsk, women!

But love is really too sweet. Sun Yuan tried to imagine herself in her shoes, dating a heavenly boyfriend like Shen Yuan would be blissfully delightful!

….

In reality, Sun Yuan had only heard the sweet parts; she had already left before the bitter parts began.

In the kitchen, Shen Yuan picked up a broccoli, “Teacher Lih, see this flower? Doesn’t it look like you? Green, fresh, and delicious.”

Then, he picked up a tomato, “Doesn’t this look like your blushed cheeks? Plump and juicy, always makes one want to take a bite.”

“…..”

Lih Xiao showed a smile as if resigned to despair, “Who taught you to flirt with girls like this?”

Shen Yuan pretended not to understand, “Are you even a girl?”

Lih Xiao’s hands, dripping with water, suddenly slapped onto Shen Yuan’s face, “For calling me old, for calling me old!”
