Untamed Passionate Kiss

Chapter 17 You Might Like Me Too

Ding.

The toast was finally baked successfully. Meng Yang opened the refrigerator to look for jam and asked her.

"Blueberries? Strawberries?"

Liang Yutang rubbed her face with her hands, trying to cool it down: "Blueberries, please."

Only after he finished speaking did he realize that these two flavors were her favorites when she was in the United States, and he had always remembered them.

Suddenly, Liang Yutang instinctively threw a straight shot.

"Meng Yang, is there any possibility—"

"So, you might like me. But, without you even realizing it?"

The girl's voice was soft.

Liang Yutang appeared calm, but in reality, her toes were already digging into the ground.

Fortunately, Meng Yang has almost become immune to her occasional erratic behavior.

So Meng Yang remained silent, only asking, "Do you remember what Auntie likes to eat?"

Liang Yutang paused for a moment, and Meng Yang pressed on, "Will you prepare a special celebration for your aunt's birthday?"

Liang Yutang still had her big, clear eyes open, looking completely bewildered.

Meng Yang: "What I mean is, once you've identified someone as family, it's normal to be meticulous about everything for them. If it's caused you to have any unnecessary thoughts, I'll try my best to correct that in the future."

Looking at Meng Yang's righteous face, Liang Yutang suddenly felt that she was really evil.

She was actually judging her god with worldly eyes.

Suddenly, a wave of guilt washed over her, and she lost all courage to continue the conversation.

Then, changing the subject, she asked Meng Yang, "Is your bread ready?"

Meng Yang took the steps, picked up the jam, and turned back to the counter.

Meng Yang's apartment design style, just like him, is steady and stable.

Everywhere you go, you see decorations with sharp angles, even the dining tables are rectangular.

Liang Yutang lightly jumped to the middle of the table, propped her chin up, and waited for her meal.

Meng Yang turned his back to her and spread jam with a Western-style knife. He appeared methodical, but his mind was actually wandering.

Images of the two of them when they were children inexplicably surfaced in my mind.

Not when we were in the US, but when we were even younger, back in the Meng family compound in Jingzhou.

When Liang Yutang was still a snotty-nosed child, she loved to jump and skip around behind him.

He found Liang Yutang annoying because girls simply couldn't understand the things boys liked.

He was nine years old, and she was only five. She only had Barbie dolls in her eyes and forced him to play house.

Unfortunately, the friendship between the Liang and Meng families didn't begin in our parents' generation.

Rather, it's from the grandfather's generation and even further back, where there's a lineage.

At that time, China was in chaos. The two families lived in the same alley and helped each other when foreign enemies invaded. Later, the young men of both families bravely joined the army together.

Turbulent times often produce heroes, and both families later received medals.

However, the Liang family ancestors chose to ride the wave of opportunity and go into business.

The Meng family continued to uphold their ancestral traditions and follow the "red" path, but their interactions and friendships never ceased.

For example, when the Meng family needed political achievements, the entire Liang family would lend a helping hand by helping them generate tax revenue.

The Liang family encountered policy obstacles when expanding into new business areas. The Meng family, on the other hand, tried to get the green light as much as possible without violating the policies.

This has always been the tradition between the two families, and they have even made a verbal agreement to be betroth their children.

Liang Yutang was taught from a young age, through her surroundings, to get along well with Meng Yang.

She obeyed and followed Meng Yang around all day, but the rebellious little boy was really annoyed with her.

On Liang Yutang's fifth birthday, Meng Yang played a prank on her and told her...

"The gift I've prepared for you is a mystery, but you have to find it yourself."

Liang Yutang believed it to be true and searched for him from dusk till midnight.

The Liang family checked the surveillance footage and discovered that she had left the compound in search of a non-existent gift, causing both families to panic.

Fortunately, Liang Yutang was lucky and met Uncle Hat on the road. He saw her alone late at night and asked her where she lived.

She has a good memory and memorized her mother's phone number.

That night, Meng Yang was beaten for the first time.

This boy, who excels in every aspect, has never received such treatment before.

While being beaten and crying his heart out, Xiao Mengyang secretly vowed to stay away from Liang Yutang, this troublemaker.

Who knew that Liang Yutang would suffer one setback after another?

Not only did she fail to learn how formidable Meng Yang was, she also gave him all the red envelopes she received for her birthday, telling him not to cry.

That was the first time in his life that Meng Yang knew what guilt meant.

Afterwards, his relationship with Liang Yutang gradually improved, which was noticed by both families, so the joke about their childhood betrothal was brought up again and again.

Xiao Mengyang, who was very principled, was provoked and did not want his life to be controlled like this, so he rebelled.

He took the opportunity of the summer camp in the United States to say that he liked the United States and wanted to study abroad there.

Firstly, I genuinely want to develop my independence.

Secondly, it was to avoid Liang Yutang and the two families' wishful thinking.

Four years later, Liang Yutang was also thrown into the United States.

Now, in a foreign land, he's all she has to rely on.

After several years of living independently, Meng Yang's values ​​and mindset gradually matured, and he took on the responsibilities of an older brother.

Liang Yutang wasn't used to being at school, so he tried to coax her classmates and get them to play with her.

Unexpectedly, things went awry. He was already struggling with his own studies when it came to teaching foreign languages, so he naturally neglected Liang Yutang.

Gradually, Liang Yutang became less and less interested in studying and only knew how to play.

Meng Yang always felt that he also bore some responsibility for how she had become like this.

Therefore, he would agree to any conditions Liang Yutang proposed, as long as they weren't too unreasonable.

Gradually, it has evolved into the situation we see today.

He was unsure of his true feelings for Liang Yutang.

But whenever Liang Yutang tried to get closer, an extremely restless voice would scream within her—

"Do you want to be controlled by your family your whole life?"

No, he didn't want to.

Therefore, rejecting Liang Yutang was the most important step in his rebellion.

Over the years, he has become accustomed to constantly backing away whenever she gets close.

However, what he couldn't explain was why he couldn't wait to return to China after Bian Yu appeared.

It's true that the company wants to establish a branch in the country, but there's no rush.

On the contrary, Meng Yang took the initiative to propose it to headquarters.

"Jingshi is my hometown. I can go back to inspect it in advance and help with site selection."

That's why he suddenly returned to China.

However, subconsciously, he didn't want Liang Yutang to know these things.

In particular, last night, Liang Yutang relentlessly pursued him and confessed her feelings.

Her words seemed to imply that the boy named Bian Yu was merely a stand-in for her...

He wasn't ready to accept this overwhelming emotion.

Because of some relationships, it's not a fleeting romance; if it's not suitable, then breaking up is fine.

He and Liang Yutang had long since become like family.

To break boundaries means taking the risk of losing loved ones.

Meng Yang was used to deep thought. Clearly, he hadn't figured it out yet.

……

"I have to say, Chinese food is still the best."

Liang Yutang's voice pulled Meng Yang from his memories back to reality.

The man was momentarily distracted and looked at the girl.

Seeing Liang Yutang poking at the crumbs of toast with her fork, she pouted and complained, "Dry and hard to swallow. I can't eat a single bit without jam."

Meng Yang smiled and said, "Just make do." He added, "I have to go to the company right away to interview new people, so I don't have time to wait for takeout."

After saying that, he thought for a moment and added, "How about I order you takeout and you wait at home?"

Just as Liang Yutang was about to agree, her phone suddenly received a message.

Bian Yu's profile picture appeared prominently on the lock screen, accompanied by just three words—

In the apartment?
