Although the two of them separated quickly when they saw him coming, Jiang Nan could still imagine what they would do if he arrived a second later or hadn’t appeared at all.
"Tingye, let me take a look at your knee." Meimei’s face showed no shyness as she swiftly got out of Dan Tingye’s embrace. Seeing Jiang Nan standing in front of them, she didn’t bother saying anything but anxiously helped Dan Tingye onto the sofa and reached to roll up his pant leg.
"Meimei, I’ve told you, girls shouldn’t just start touching people..." Dan Tingye frowned and pressed her hand down, just about to move back, when he heard Meimei’s displeased voice.
"Are you trying to fool me again? Your knee obviously has a problem; otherwise, how could you not stand up straight after I just lightly pushed you?"
Meimei’s expression was tense on her small face. Once she left Dan Tingye’s embrace, she immediately noticed his abnormality.
When he fell onto the sofa earlier, his face clearly showed pain.
"What’s really going on?"
Jiang Nan was stunned for half a minute. Hearing Meimei’s words, he anxiously walked to the sofa, "Brother, what’s happened to your leg?"
"It’s nothing, I just spaced out and took a fall." Dan Tingye propped his body up with his arm, casually leaning against the sofa cushion. His piercing eyes coldly swept towards Jiang Nan, his thin lips slightly parting.
"As for you, did you sleep so soundly last night that you didn’t even notice Meimei leaving the Ye Family?"
Dan Tingye’s voice was calm, without a hint of anger, but Jiang Nan felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, chilling him to the bone!
"Brother, let me explain, blame that little rascal. She insisted on dragging me to play games with her all night, and after losing, she cheated and made me cook breakfast for her. I made an extra portion, planning to serve it to Meimei..."
The more Jiang Nan spoke, the more he felt something was wrong, a sudden flash of realization hitting him.
"That rascal last night did it deliberately; she intentionally kept me occupied?"
Jiang Nan looked at the silent Meimei, feeling deeply frustrated.
How could he have been so stupid that he didn’t notice? If it weren’t for carrying his lovingly made breakfast to send it to Meimei this morning, he wouldn’t have discovered she had already left the Ye Family Villa for an entire night!
A shock as great as the heavens striking him! Nearly dumbstruck!
"Idiot!" Dan Tingye glanced at Meimei, who insisted on checking his knee, then looked again at Jiang Nan, who seemed good at nothing, ready to ruin everything.
"Oh, right, you all probably haven’t had breakfast yet, have you? I’ll make it; I’ll go do it right away!"
Seeing the situation was grim, Jiang Nan hurriedly took off running!
Meimei watched him leave before collecting her thoughts, staring steadily at Dan Tingye’s knee, "Tingye, if you don’t roll up your pant leg yourself, I’ll do it for you."
"I just knelt for half an hour, no big deal." Dan Tingye admitted casually, knowing he couldn’t hide it anymore, his matter-of-fact tone making the atmosphere light.
Meimei stiffened at his words, then a second later, reached out to roll up his pant leg.
Earlier he lied, saying nothing was wrong, but if she hadn’t noticed his knee’s oddity, he wouldn’t have admitted to being punished.
Now he says he only knelt for half an hour; she didn’t believe it!
If what he said were true, he wouldn’t be unable to stand properly.
