"So,in other people's eyes,I'm the one who came to him on my own."
I wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of my eyes,looked up at Ethan with a wronged expression.
I knew what kind of expression of mine was the most pitiful,so I deliberately showed my most vulnerable side.
I tilted my head slightly and looked at Ethan.
Sure enough,Ethan looked at me with pity,and then he severely reprimanded Lily without mercy.
"How can you speak like that?I like Sophia.If you can't speak properly,just shut up.Otherwise,you'll just be annoying here."
"Ethan,we've had a relationship for several years.Are you really going to talk to me like this just for someone you've been dating for less than a month?I'm just being a bit straightforward.Look at what I said before,girls are just being fussy,overthinking,and smearing others."
The more Lily talked,the angrier she became.Finally,she sat down on the chair directly.
"Okay,don't be angry anymore.Lily is really straightforward in her words.Sister-in-law,don't take it to heart.We're here to have a meal today.Everyone should be happy."
Someone next to us had already started to play the role of a peacemaker.Ethan's face also showed a somewhat conflicted expression.
After a long while,he only managed to say one sentence.
"I was a bit too hasty just now.Don't take it to heart."
Lily's expression finally improved a bit,as if she wanted to say something.
How could I let her have her way?
I quickly said before Lily could open her mouth:
"It's my fault.I misunderstood.Lily,don't be unhappy either.I know that although you're straightforward,you're still a girl after all,and you must care about what others say.I apologize to you on Ethan's behalf."
The people who hadn't paid much attention to Lily before all turned their eyes to Lily's face at this moment.
Lily hurriedly tried to adjust her expression,but the result was the opposite.
"I didn't.I'm not too angry.I just..."
Lily stammered for a long time,but couldn't finish her sentence in the end.
I sneered in my heart.
Really,what kind of"tough girl with a hidden agenda"dared to play these little tricks in front of me?
Did she really think that a"green tea girl"like me,who grew up soaked in the"green tea pot",was easy to deal with?
Anyway,the carefree persona that Lily had built for herself had started to crumble.
I was also happy to enjoy myself.For the rest of the time,besides eating,I was almost stuck to Ethan's side.
Ethan had always liked me like this.
Basically,during the meal,besides picking up food for me,his arm never left my body.
The consequence of this was that during the whole meal,I could feel a sinister gaze fixed on me.
I knew it was Lily looking at me,so I became even more affectionate with Ethan.
I'll make you,the"tough girl with a hidden agenda",angry.
When we were about to part ways,Ethan was holding me,who had a full stomach,and was about to leave.Lily suddenly squeezed in.
"Ethan,can you give me a ride?It's not convenient for me to go back alone."
When he heard this,Ethan immediately frowned.
He stood in front of me protectively and firmly shook his head.
"No,I'm going to send Sophia back."
"But..."
Lily bit her lower lip and looked at Ethan with a hurt expression.
Ethan's eyes wavered a bit.
I gave Ethan a look of frustration at his indecision,and then I picked up my plaintive voice and said pitifully:
"Forget it,Ethan.You'd better go send Miss Lily.I'll be okay.Although I'm a bit afraid of the dark and don't have much strength,I don't want to make you feel awkward.I...I like you so much.How could I make you worry so much about my matters?"
When I said the last part,my voice already had a hint of a sob.
Ethan was immediately flustered.
