Chapter 189 - Can't You Take a Hint?

Initially, Zhang Yu Han had no intention to entertain at the newcomer. However, once he heard that person mentioned his girlfriend, he wanted to turn around, but the person in his embrace clenched her fist on his shirt as if to stop him from moving.

Zhang Yu Han gave her a questioning gaze and saw her shook her head.

Thinking that his girlfriend was not in the mood to see anyone what had happened, Zhang Yu Han decided to stay still and continue to block the other person's view from his girlfriend.

"Hey, I'm talking to you. Did you not hear me?" Li Mu Chen took a step into the balcony and halted when he turned slightly only to give her a sharp look. It was as if the man was warning her not to come closer. That look scared her enough that Li Mu Chen took a step back. 

Once she recalled that they were at Li Ming Han's wedding, and this man was no one but an outsider, Li Mu Chen took a deep breath and braved herself to stay around.

Previously, she had given a few glances towards the man and saw his gentle expression when he was talking to everyone on his table. Li Mu Chen decided that perhaps she did not see his expression clearly and has mistakenly thought of it as an unfriendly glare. After all, it was dark in the balcony.

Li Mu Chen swayed the tulle skirt and took a step into the balcony. Suddenly, the noise from the hall disappeared and she found that the atmosphere in the balcony was quiet.

"Let me introduce myself," Li Mu Chen said with a smile. "I'm Li Mu Chen. Yao Yao's cousin." She waited a few seconds and frowned when the man did not answer. "Are you… not going to introduce yourself?"

Zhang Yu Han frowned when he heard the name. 

Yesterday, he had heard that Li Qin Yao mentioned that she was not close to Li Mu Chen due to their personality. Instantly, Zhang Yu Han could guess why his girlfriend did not want to greet this cousin when she first appeared.

He continued to tilt down his head to look at his girlfriend who was leaning her chin on his ċhėst. Seeing the way she continued to stare back at him with her bright eyes, Zhang Yu Han lowered his head to kiss her on the tip of her nose. 

He did not know what his girlfriend was planning, but Zhang Yu Han understood well that at this time, Li Qin Yao did not wish to see the cousin who had just appeared out of nowhere and disturbing their alone time on the balcony.

"You do know that you're being quite rude, right?" Li Mu Chen continued. She let out a sneer and took another step forward. Anyway, she was not planning to leave without learning who was her cousin's boyfriend.

Li Qin Yao frowned in annoyance as she heard Li Mu Chen's high heel clicking against the floor. It seemed that this cousin of hers could not take a hint. Even after they have ignored her, she was persistent enough to continue to bug them. 

"Li Mu Chen, can't you take a hint?" Li Qin Yao finally spoke. She gave Zhang Yu Han a look to say that he should not say a word in front of this cousin. She was not going to let Li Mu Chen hear her boyfriend's magnetic voice. 

Li Qin Yao pulled away from Zhang Yu Han and peeked from his body. "Don't you know that you should tacitly leave when others ignored you?"

"You…" Li Mu Chen was surprised upon seeing her cousin suddenly appeared. Her face instantly turned red. She had thought that the man was alone, and she had wanted to approach him to find out about his relationship with Li Qin Yao. She did not expect that her cousin would be here as well. "What are you doing here?"

Li Qin Yao stepped out from her hiding place and crossed her arms on her ċhėst as she looked at Li Mu Chen. "I'm spending my time alone with my boyfriend."

"Li Qin Yao, you... you're acting indecently!"

"What's wrong with me acting indecently with my boyfriend? We're not in public."

Zhang Yu Han let out a chuckle as he heard his girlfriend's words. He raised his hand and pushed a strand of hair behind her ear.

Li Mu Chen gritted her teeth. She glanced at the tall man and saw that his gaze was trained on her cousin. "I saw your boyfriend stood here alone and thought of introducing myself as your cousin. I didn't know that you're here as well. Yao Yao, you're not going to introduce your boyfriend to me?" Li Mu Chen put on the best smile on her face.

Li Qin Yao felt goosebumps when her cousin called her name intimately. Seeing the eager look on her cousin's eyes, Li Qin Yao felt that it would be better if she did not introduce her boyfriend.

"No."

The smile on Li Mu Chen's face froze when she heard that unexpected answer. Her blood boiled with rage when she saw that Li Qin Yao had pulled on the tall man's hand and pulled him away to leave the balcony.

Li Mu Chen stood in front of her to stop them from leaving.

"Li Mu Chen. What are you trying to do?"

She took a deep breath and put on her best smile. "Yao Yao, what's the rush? The two of us have not the chance to sit down and talk for a long time."

Li Qin Yao stared at her cousin for a few seconds longer feeling as if she had previously heard the same words from her. Then, she curved her lips into a smile. "Li Mu Chen, I have thought about it."

Li Mu Chen furrowed her brow at her cousin's suddenly changed the subject. "What are you talking about?"

"I still think that I don't need your help with my project in B City," Li Qin Yao said.

It was then that Li Mu Chen recalled that she had asked her cousin to talk to her grandfather into letting her transfer to B City.

Her face suddenly turned pale. Li Mu Chen opened her mouth but held her curse on the tip on her tongue when she realized that the tall man was still around. "Yao Yao, you promised."

"I only said that I will think about it. I have never promised you anything."

Li Mu Chen stared back at her cousin in astonish. Her mom had warned her not to annoy her cousin until she can convince her cousin into letting her transfer.

She did not know what had happened, but Li Mu Chen realized that now that her mother would be furious when she learned that she had ruined her chance to transfer to B City.

Once she realized what was going on, Li Mu Chen stepped forward to chase after her cousin. However, once she stepped into the hall, Li Mu Chen found that her cousin and her boyfriend were among the crowd.
