The Male Lead Suddenly Became My Lapdog after I Annulled Our Engagement Chapter 281 Success

281 Success
Her polite and distant tone did not sound like she was talking to his family.
He Chen felt slightly disappointed when he heard that. He lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in them and said calmly, “Then ask the butler to bring some after-meal desserts. They’re all your favorite flavors from last time.”
“Alright,” she said. He Miao obediently allowed He Chen to make the arrangements.
This temporarily satisfied his empty heart. In fact, in his heart, these family rules that he had adhered to all his life were not worth mentioning compared to his daughter.
He did not want her to feel restrained here, but he was also not good at expressing his feelings, so he could only keep asking the chef to make a variety of desserts and send them to her like flowing water.
Even if she was not his biological daughter, as long as she was Ye Ning’s child, he would cherish her.
He had left in a fit of anger because Ye Ning had a child with another man. This time, he had come back to make up for his mistakes and let He Miao feel the warmth of a family again. He would make up for what He Feng would not give her.
He Miao was already full. She shot Jing Yan a look, and the latter immediately understood and smiled. “I’m sorry to trouble the butler again. I need to go to the bathroom.”
“Sure, President Jing. Please follow me.” The butler could not wait for He Chen to spend some time alone with He Miao. He warmly led Jing Yan out of the living room and waited for him at the door.
Jing Yan, who was about to go to the bathroom, stopped and turned around with an apologetic smile. “Can you please make He Miao a pot of tea? She’s had too many desserts, so she needs to counteract the sweetness in her stomach.”
“Alright, I’ll go now!” The butler secretly chastised himself for his negligence and quickly turned to the kitchen to instruct them.
Jing Yan sneered at his back as he walked further and further away. He walked towards the dining room in the opposite direction. He had seen clearly that the housekeepers had walked in this direction after packing their things.
The He family’s house could be considered the main house of the main family, and the decoration still followed the style of the past. Jing Yan knew some popular designs from the past, so he easily found the washroom.
He Chen had ordered the servants to prepare a dozen dishes for this meal. The used pots and pans were not yet cleaned up, and Jing Yan’s sharp eyes spotted a pair of cutleries that had been placed separately. He took out a transparent bag from his pocket and carefully placed it in the pocket of his suit. Then, he turned around and walked out with a calm expression.
At the same time, the housekeeper had already put away all the tea sets, cups, and other things that He Miao had used before. They were waiting for He Miao to leave so they could send them to the hospital for testing.
On his way back, Jing Yan deliberately went to the bathroom and returned to the living room from that direction. He carefully avoided the servants of the He family on the way so that no one noticed him.
When Jing Yan returned to the living room, the butler had just come out of the kitchen. Seeing Jing Yan walking back by himself, the butler apologized to him with an apologetic face. “President Jing, I’m really sorry. I spent some time in the kitchen making tea. It was really rude of me to ask you to come back by yourself.”
“It’s fine. I won’t get lost.” Jing Yan sat back next to He Miao, unconcerned. He patted her shoulder, indicating that he had succeeded.
He Miao was relieved. She sipped some tea and chatted with He Chen for a while before they excused themselves and left.
After leaving the He family’s house, He Miao heaved a long sigh of relief. Without waiting for Jing Yan to open the car door for her, she got into the car first, leaned against the back seat, and said lazily, “I’m so tired. Why do I feel like this is even more tiring than doing an entire day of experiments?”
Jing Yan laughed and pulled her into his arms, letting her rest on his shoulder. He handed the cutleries to Chen Zhao, who was sitting in the front row. “Take it and test them. I want to see the results tomorrow morning.”
“Yes.” Chen Zhao knew how important this was and did not dare to delay. He immediately told the driver to send the two back to their place.
It was already half-past seven in the evening when Jing Yan got off the car. Jing Yan excused himself and went upstairs to sleep, but He Miao knew the reason. She suddenly had an evil thought and teased Jing Yan, “Don’t go yet, I still want to talk to you for a while.”
Jing Yan could not stand He Miao’s coquettish behavior, but he could not change the fact that he had not completely regained his freedom. He could only suppress his desire and coax her softly. “Be good, Miaomiao. I’ll come down to accompany you after I sleep for a while, okay?”
He Miao’s eyes darted around, and he pulled her into the house with a smile. “You can sleep here. When you wake up, we can talk, and you won’t have to come downstairs.”
Jing Yan looked at her in disbelief and could not help but ask, “Why is Miaomiao so proactive today? Are you reluctant to part with me?”
He Miao wanted to tease him while he was sleeping, so she held back her laughter and nodded with her big, beautiful eyes. “Yes, I can’t bear to leave you today. Can you stay?”
“Alright,” he said. Jing Yan nodded heavily, his heart full of joy.
This was the first time He Miao had said sweet nothings to him. In the past, he had always been the one to say it. She had never been good at sweet nothings, but now, she was able to say sweet nothings easily.
