Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 461: That’s Just How Low His EQ Is

You Lihao saw that she was unrepentant and raised his hand. You Lifen hid behind Zhi Zhi, "Brother, if you hit my head again, I’ll become stupid!"

"I don’t see you being very smart now!"

Zhi Zhi was the first to bear the brunt. She was so frightened by You Lihao’s anger that her face turned pale, and her legs trembled. "Manager You, Manager You..."

You Lihao shouted at her, "You can’t even speak properly. Can you shut up?"

Zhi Zhi covered her mouth with her hand and looked down at the ground. How embarrassing, being scolded!

She had been scolded by directors on set many times, but being scolded by Manager You made her especially dejected.

If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have come. He must think she is annoying, useless, and redundant!

You Lifen knew about Zhi Zhi’s feelings for her brother. Being scolded by someone you like is the hardest. She used to get scolded by Yu Zheng often, so she knew that feeling.

Empathy made You Lifen feel very sympathetic towards Zhi Zhi. She spoke up for her, "Zhi Zhi is my friend and also a guest. How can you treat her like this?"

You Lihao calmed down and felt he was a bit excessive too. Saying "I’m sorry" was too hard. He turned around and went upstairs. "Forget I said anything."

You Lifen said, "What is this? Not gentlemanly at all."

She brought Zhi Zhi to her room, "Don’t blame my brother. He’s just low on emotional intelligence."

Zhi Zhi shook her head, "I know he’s in a bad mood."

You Lifen was exasperated, "My brother... everyone calls him central air conditioning. When he’s in a bad mood, it’s terrifying. When he’s in a good mood, he’s nice to everyone. Liking a man like this is extremely painful. I advise you to give up while your feelings aren’t deep."

"If feelings were really that easy to control, there wouldn’t be so many people troubled by love in this world."

You Lifen agreed, "Yes, it’s really not that easy to let go when you truly like someone. I’ve tried to give up on Yu Zheng countless times, but still approached him again and again. Luckily, I finally waited for him."

"Lifei, being with Yu Zheng is not easy. You have to get past your dad, and also Yu Zheng’s parents. Aren’t you afraid?"

"Afraid of what? If I give up without trying hard, I’ll definitely regret it when I’m old."

Zhi Zhi was thoughtful, "That’s right. We should always try and not let ourselves regret."

They talked late into the night, and You Lifen invited her to stay over, "I still have a lot to talk to you about!"

Zhi Zhi said, "My brother has been strict lately. I have to go home."

"Yang Chenmin is so annoying. Is he a Qing Dynasty person? What era is this and there’s still a curfew?"

"My brother worries about me. He’s been busy recently. I don’t want to trouble him. I’m going home." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

You Lifen said, "I’ll walk you downstairs."

As they left the room, You Lifen received a call from Yu Zheng. She excitedly said, "Yu Zheng is calling me. I can’t see you off. Let me know when you get home!" Then she went back to her room to answer the call.

Zhi Zhi went downstairs and out the door. Only then did she realize she had come by You Lifen’s nanny car. Was the driver off work?

Not wanting to trouble You Lifen, she took out her phone to call a taxi. But after two calls, no cars were available.

This area was in the suburbs, making taxis hard to get.

Zhi Zhi stood at the door, dodging the wind. The butler came over from the garage and saw her at the door, "Miss Zhi Zhi, are you heading home? I’ll have the driver take you."

"Okay, thank you so much!"

You Lihao happened to be coming downstairs and out the door with car keys in hand. The butler said, "Young Master, I was about to get someone to take Miss Zhi Zhi home."

You Lihao asked her, "You don’t have a car?"

Zhi Zhi looked at her toes, "Uh-huh, I came in Lifei’s nanny car."

You Lihao said, "It’s on my way, let’s go."

He finished speaking and walked out quickly. Zhi Zhi was stunned. What did he mean?

The butler reminded her, "Miss Zhi Zhi, our young master said he’d give you a ride, hurry up."

"Oh, okay."

Zhi Zhi jogged to catch up. Manager You was tall and had long legs. He walked so fast that she couldn’t keep up. Would he think she walked too slowly?

"Ah!"

While Zhi Zhi was lost in thought, You Lihao in front suddenly stopped. She wasn’t able to stop herself and ran straight into his back. His muscles were firm - it was like hitting a wall, very painful.

With her eyes brimming with tears from the pain, You Lihao turned his head, "So careless."

Zhi Zhi took a deep breath, "It’s nothing, nothing." How could she say it hurt, what if he got angry and didn’t take her home?

You Lihao turned back to the house. Zhi Zhi didn’t know whether to follow or stay. After weighing the options, she decided waiting here was best.

She waited in the night wind for a while before You Lihao returned with a jacket in his hands. He tossed it onto her as he passed by, "Wear it."

His throw was precise, the jacket landed right on her shoulders.

The jacket was big, a bit heavy, and smelled like him.

It felt like... his embrace.

Zhi Zhi blushed. Did he specifically go back to get her a jacket? That was quite considerate of him.

You Lihao had walked a few steps, saw she wasn’t keeping up. He turned back, seeing her blushing face under the lights.

He asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhi Zhi hurriedly said, "Nothing, just that the jacket is a bit, a bit warm."

You Lihao said, "No other jacket, just bear with it."

Zhi Zhi kept up with his pace, "Thank you, Manager You."

"Hm."

They reached the garage. Zhi Zhi sat in the passenger seat, feeling heavy-hearted as she closed the door.

Under the light, she saw a red mark above the passenger door handle. She instantly recognized it as a lipstick stain.

Many women must have sat in his passenger seat. Han Jiayi used to be a frequent passenger in this car.

As the car pulled out of the driveway, You Lihao reminded her, "Seatbelt."

"Okay."

Zhi Zhi fastened her seatbelt and touched the red mark with her hand. Whose lipstick was this?

You Lihao noticed her action and glanced sideways but kept his gaze ahead. "How many times have I told Lifei not to touch up her makeup in my car? When will she ever listen?"

Zhi Zhi’s world suddenly brightened. So it was Lifei’s makeup touch-up stain?

She smiled, "Many people in the circle say Lifei is a bit arrogant. But those who truly know her understand she’s very straightforward and genuine, unlike others who are... scheming."

You Lihao assessed his sister objectively, "Not many can get along with her. You’re the first."

Zhi Zhi said, "Lifei is easy to get along with."

You Lihao replied, "Then you must have a good personality."

That was a high compliment for Zhi Zhi, "Thank you, Manager You."

Her thanks puzzled You Lihao, "What for?"

"Didn’t you say I have a good personality?"

You Lihao laughed heartily. He touched his forehead, "Yes, I’ve just discovered another of your merits."

"What is it?"

"You’re... simple-minded."

This time Zhi Zhi caught on, "My brother says when someone is praised for being simple, it often means they’re dumb."

You Lihao burst into laughter again and leaned back in his seat, relaxed. This girl had a healing effect on his mood. Not bad at all.

His sister’s judgment in choosing a man was poor, but her choice in friends was quite good.

Zhi Zhi was vexed. What did his laugh mean? Was she really dumb?

She wasn’t smart, but she wasn’t dumb either!
