We Are Meant To Be novel Chapter 258

Seeing his reaction, Yvonne Jiang acted out her humorous side and asked him: “Don’t you think so, James? You’re certain that this project will be successful, aren’t you?”

In this case, James Feng felt a little forced. After all, they owned the partnership and wished for it to go well from the bottom of their hearts!

James chuckled, and he had to use some official words to deal with her. Therefore, he tried to avoid any taboos and responded: “If I do think so, then you have to do your best in this project, too. Right, Ms Jiang?”

It seemed like other people could not resist their conversation! Every time she threw the ball to him, he returned the ball to her while adding a level of difficulties! Besides, his words seemed to tell Yvonne Jiang to take responsibility if their project did not proceed as planned.

Yvonne was aware of his implication, for sure, and did not dare to accept his attack blindly. So she had to reply to him: “You sure love to joke, James. Everything is under control as long as you’re around! And I will be your faithful follower!” She then let out a silver bell-like laugh.

They were good at attacking each other, but it was no use to master those fighting skills. James was reluctant to continue this topic; he was not interested, after all. He was a man, and his demeanour was not unknown too.

“It’s a great honour to have a pupil like Miss Jiang!” James spoke indifferently without any sincerity on his face; he did not feel honoured.

But Yvonne had to acknowledge that James meant his words so that they could continue their talk. She responded: “I’m the one who should thank you. I feel honoured to be your disciple. However, don’t get bored at me if I trouble you quite often later.”

Yvonne was about to ask all her questions to James, yet felt like she was too abrupt. Hence, she stared thoughtfully at him and observed his attitude.

Regardless, James did not object to it. He moved the corners of his mouth and spoke, “don’t mind, Miss Jiang. Besides, your family also runs a huge business. I’m afraid I can’t match if I am involved in it.” He felt the urge to coax her this way so that she would stop acting friendly to him.

However, his calculation was wrong this time. How could Yvonne give up because of his answer just now? And no one would give up liking someone only because of those words in general, either.

Suppose the feeling of liking or loving someone was easy-come-easy-go. In that case, it could not be classified as affection and counted as a flash emotion only. And in Yvonne’s case, her love for James was real.

But it was not her focus now. She immediately answered to James: “Brother James, should we change our nicknames? I called you Brother James, but you’re so stiff with me. Did I do something wrong to you? Please tell me in front of me.”

Yvonne calmly asked him while carefully and thoughtfully observing James’s expression. She could only imagine and hoped that he could have the slightest affection for her, although she acknowledged his feelings for her.
