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

119 A Forced Kiss

He Miao pursed her lips guiltily. Seeing Jing Yan’s head lower and lower until it almost touched hers, she hurriedly pushed his head away and relented. “Alright, I know she likes you.”

Jing Yan stepped back expressionlessly. “Continue.”

He Miao pressed herself against the door nervously. “She must really like you. Our engagement has been called off, and you’re my brother. I’m happy to see you two together.”

Jing Yan could not take it anymore. He grabbed her wrist that was pushing him away, his eyes red like a rabbit that had been wronged. “He Miao, do you have a heart?”

He had given her time to slowly treat her well because he wanted her to see his true feelings. He did not want her to really treat him as a brother and push him to someone else!

!!

He Miao’s heart sank. She raised her eyes and looked at Jing Yan seriously. “I only see you as my older brother. From now on, we’ll be sworn siblings. Isn’t that good?”

“Who wants to be your brother!” Jing Yan flung her hand away, grabbed her chin, and forced her to face up to receive his punishing kiss.

The moment their lips touched, an electric current ran through Jing Yan’s mind, jolting him awake.

However, it was too late for him to regret it now. He Miao slapped him hard and glared at him while panting. “Jing Yan, I don’t like you. Please don’t do such things again.”

She was grateful to him for treating him as her brother and trying to ease their relationship, but she had no intention of developing a romantic relationship with him at all.

Jing Yan was hit hard. There was only grievance in his eyes, but no anger. He turned to look at the determination in He Miao’s eyes, hating himself for not cherishing her in the past.

He was the one who had caused all of this today. He could not blame He Miao, he could only blame himself.

Jing Yan reproached himself and lifted He Miao’s hand that had hit him. He smiled bitterly and rubbed her palm. “It was my fault just now, but I also want to tell you that I don’t like He Wei. Don’t try to match us together in the future. Don’t even think about matchmaking me with other women.”

“Jing Yan.” He Miao pulled her hand back and looked at him, suppressing her anger. “When we called off our engagement, I told you that I really didn’t like you anymore. I still haven’t changed my mind.”

“I know,” Jing Yan answered in a hoarse voice.

In the past, he was the one who did not know how to cherish her. Now, he could only optimistically pray that He Miao would change her mind one day.

If she could love him once, she could love him a second time. Jing Yan had no other way to suppress the bitterness in his heart except to comfort himself like this.

He Miao opened the door and walked out of the theater. He Wei, who was in the living room, looked over from time to time. When she saw He Miao coming out alone, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

The old man looked up at Jing Yan, who was walking in the other direction behind He Miao, and asked worriedly, “Did you two have a fight?”

“No, we didn’t.” He Miao shook her head lightly, and an obedient smile reappeared on her face. “Grandpa, I still have something to do at school. I’ll go back first.”

“Why don’t you stay for lunch?” The old man was reluctant to see her go so soon.

He Miao smiled and sat down beside the old man. “I’ll visit you again next week. If you miss me, you can call me anytime.”

“Alright,” he said. The old man looked in the direction Jing Yan had left and sighed helplessly. He could only let them go.

Seeing this, He Wei also stood up and accompanied He Miao out of the house.

She pulled open the car door and looked at He Miao, who was walking towards the entrance of the neighborhood. “Little sister, do you want to take my car home? Or do you want me to send you to the place you’re staying?”

“No need, I can walk on my own.” He Miao did not want He Wei to know where she lived. Even if it was not easy to get a taxi here, there would always be a way to go back if they walked on the main road. There was no need for her to send her.

He Wei still wanted to say something, but her manager called, so she had to drive away in a hurry.

After walking for half an hour, He Miao finally reached the main road. She stopped a taxi, told the driver the address, and leaned back in the back seat to rest.

Jing Yan followed her in the car and did not stop until they reached the entrance of the neighborhood. He watched the girl’s back disappear around the corner in frustration, and a huge sense of powerlessness almost drowned him.

Jing Yan had not appeared in front of He Miao for the next few days. She was busy making perfume every day, and only when she occasionally looked up at the place where Jing Yan usually sat would she remember that he had not come to see her for a few days.

On the twenty-fourth floor of a hotel in the neighboring city, Mu Xiao was sitting on the sofa of a hotel suite and drinking red wine. He looked at Jing Yan, who was typing on his laptop, and asked in disbelief, “Did you really get someone to exchange the first prize for a bracelet that only girls like?”

“Yes,” Jing Yan finished typing the last string of code and said indifferently.

“What do you want this for? Don’t tell me you’re giving it away?” As soon as he said this, Mu Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.

He felt as if he had accidentally touched the truth. He stiffened his neck and turned to look at Jing Yan, who looked serious.

‘This guy couldn’t be beating around the bush to give He Miao a gift, right?’
