The Male Lead Suddenly Became My Lapdog after I Annulled Our Engagement Chapter 248 Love Is Not A Necessity

248 Love Is Not A Necessity
After Jing Yan left, Xu Meng finally dared to turn to look at He Miao. She reproached her with a red face, “Do you two have to show off your love in front of me? I’m so jealous!”
Amused, He Miao stuffed the grapes she had washed into her hands. “We’ll talk while we eat. What happened between you and Li Ming just now?”
Xu Meng’s bright eyes dimmed, and she looked so aggrieved that she could cry at any time.
He Xiao panicked. She did not expect that there would be such serious consequences when she just sent Li Ming away. She could not help but ask, “What’s going on? Please don’t cry.”
Xu Meng held back her tears and said slowly, “I chased after Li Ming just now, trying to calm him down. I kept persuading him to come back. I was anxious and couldn’t help but ask him if he liked you.”
“Ah? What?” He Miao looked at her in shock. “And then?”
Xu Meng sobbed. “Then he admitted it. He even asked me to keep it a secret. He also said that he won’t like anyone for a while.”
Xu Meng took her hand and cried, “Do you think he could tell that I like him, so he deliberately said that last sentence to make me back off?”
“Don’t overthink it.” He Miao was also a little unsure of Li Ming’s intentions. It was her first time in a relationship, so how could she understand a boy’s thoughts? She could only try her best to comfort her best friend, “It’s also possible that he doesn’t know how you feel. Maybe when he comes to his senses, he’ll realize how good you are and fall in love with you.”
Xu Meng suddenly looked up at her, her eyes full of envy. “If I can be as pretty as you, maybe Li Ming will like me.”
“Don’t say that.” He Miao did not like to hear her best friend undervalue herself. In her opinion, a pretty face was far from a necessary condition for choosing to spend the rest of her life with a person.
Xu Meng had a lot of good points. She was optimistic, upright, loyal, and smart. She was no less good than her.
She did not want this to affect their friendship, so she quickly explained to Xu Meng, “Li Ming and I are just ordinary classmates. I don’t like him and it’s impossible between us. Mengmeng, don’t blame me for this, okay?”
Xu Meng looked at her nervous expression and could not help but laugh through her tears. “Why are you explaining all this? Do you think I don’t know you?”
He Miao heaved a sigh of relief, but she still held her hand and continued to persuade her, “In the future, don’t ever say that you’re not good enough. You deserve the best boy to love you. Remember what I said? If I were a man, I would definitely want to marry you.”
Xu Meng’s depressed mood suddenly brightened up. Having such a good friend who was sincerely good to her, it was as if love had suddenly become an accessory at this moment. She nodded and smiled happily. “I know. It’s a pity that you’re a girl. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have to worry about getting married.”
“You don’t have to worry about getting married anyway, silly girl.” Seeing that she had returned to her usual liveliness, He Miao’s mood relaxed. She picked up the washed fruits on the table and placed them by her hand, wishing she could stuff all her favorite food into her mouth.
Xu Meng was amused by her look and could not help but tease, “Am I the patient or are you the patient? Who would personally take care of an injured person? Then am I still human?”
He Miao raised an eyebrow and shook her head. “That’s hard to say.”
“Good, I haven’t seen you for a few days, and you’ve learned how to scold people in an obscure way.” Xu Meng reached out to scratch her, carefully avoiding her injured arm. She only let go when she begged for mercy.
Xu Meng did not really want to mess with her. He Miao was a porcelain doll that could not be touched. If she broke her, Jing Yan would fight her to the death.
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, Jing Yan came in with the food he had ordered. Seeing He Miao’s flushed face, he thought she was having a fever. He walked over nervously and put his hand on her forehead to check her temperature.
He Miao smiled and pulled his hand down. “I don’t have a fever. What delicious food did you buy? “I’m already hungry.”
If she had an appetite, it meant that there was no problem with her body.
Jing Yan was relieved. After tidying up the fruits on the table, he took out the hot dishes from the thermal container one by one. Several of the dishes were He Miao’s favorite, and he always remembered her preferences carefully.
Xu Meng smelled the aroma of the food, and her appetite was completely aroused. She could not help but pick up her cutleries with a red face, and said shyly and happily, “Which restaurant did your Jing Yan order from? Why does it smell so good? Did you hire some top chef?”
He Miao knew the origin of the food the moment she saw the food and the thermos. She explained with a smile, “The chef of the Jing family made this himself. Try it. If you like it, you are welcome to come here every day.”
