Aloof? Heh. Jiang Xiaobai chuckled. “It’s just the façade he puts on, so don’t be fooled by it.” Even though they hadn’t met each other a lot ever since they knew each other, Jiang Xiaobai thought she had seen through the kind of person Xiao Su was. Then she noticed that the man was adorable, especially when his ears got red from embarrassment.
Though it’s frustrating that he acts like he’s the one who gets molested every time. Every time she was with him, Jiang Xiaobai had the feeling that she was a thug who harassed highschool girls in anime, and Xiao Su was the highschool girl. Sigh. Instead of driving himself, he called someone to send them back first. However, Fang Tangtang the wily woman called her driver to pick her up as Xiao Su was calling his driver to send them home. She then went into her car and didn’t even ask them to come with her, all because she wanted to create an opportunity for her friend. The moment she closed the door, the car drove away, leaving them in the dust.
Jiang Xiaobai coughed violently, choked by the dust. She then thought, You cheeky girl, you. Just take us if you have a car. You don’t have to ask him to get a ride for us. She wanted to say that to her friend, but Fang Tangtang was already gone. She then looked at the man beside her. He was standing there motionless, his expression inscrutable. Hey, I can put on a resting b*tch face too. Jiang Xiaobai smirked and gave a look that said ‘Come at me, bro.’ When Xiao Su sent her back to her house, Jiang Xiaobai took out her phone and asked Xiao Su, “Why don’t we add each other on WhatsApp?”
Xiao Su was hesitating, but before he could say anything, Jiang Xiaobai said, “We’re a couple now, so that’s not a hard request, no? We’re just making it easier to contact each other.”
Xiao Su gazed at her and corrected, “A fake couple.”
Dang it. The corner of her lips twitched when he went all pedantic with her, then she replied, “Alright, alright, we’re a fake couple. I get it, so you don’t have to remind me 24/7. Come on, let’s add each other. Should I scan your code or you scan mine?” Xiao Su opened his WhatsApp calmly, then he let her scan his code. After they managed to add each other, Jiang Xiaobai smiled. “Alright. I’ll call you if I need you. Send your location to me. I’ll go over tomorrow.”
“I know. You can leave now.” Jiang Xiaobai left, feeling satisfied. He watched her for a long time before looking away. The man looked ahead quietly, his thoughts hidden from the world.
…
On the other hand, Yan and Han Qing had returned from their trip. Since their flight started a bit late, it was already midnight when they touched down. Han Muzi had planned to welcome them back, but Ye Moxuan stopped her. He said it was already past her bedtime, so she didn’t have to welcome them back, and since Yan was with Han Qing, she had people to take care of her. After listening to Ye Moxuan, Han Muzi thought that it was logical.
She’s not alone. She has Han Qing with her, and they’re a couple, so I shouldn’t be the third wheel. Han Muzi texted Yan to tell her she wouldn’t be going to the airport, and that she would have to go home on her own. Yan had just disembarked when she received the message, and her face fell. ‘I thought you said you’re coming to get me, Muzi. Why the change of plan?’
‘I’m tired. I want to sleep, so go home by yourself.’
Yan said, ‘You don’t see me as your friend, hmph.’
Han Muzi replied, ‘I don’t see you as my friend? If I were to take you back now, you’re going to have to sleep with me tonight. If I don’t, you’ll be going home with my brother. So what’s your choice?’ Yan chose the latter. ‘Hmph.’ Han Muzi sneered. ‘Who’s not a friend now?’
‘Me,’ Yan replied.
Good. This girl knows her place. When she was about to chat more, someone took her phone away. Han Muzi looked back and saw that it was Ye Moxuan, and the man was looking at her with dissatisfaction. “What’s wrong?”
Ye Moxuan put the phone aside and wrapped his arm around her waist, then he touched her nose. “It’s late, and Little Sprout’s asleep.”
“Yeah, she’s behaving tonight. Sleeps early, doesn’t she?” Han Muzi nodded, apparently didn’t think that this was a problem.
“I took her to the room next door.”
Han Muzi raised her eyebrow. “Next door? There’s nobody in there. I don’t think it’s good to let her stay there alone…” Before she could finish, Ye Moxuan kissed her. Worried about her daughter, Han Muzi pushed him away and said, “It’s not safe for her to sleep alone, so bring her back, now.”
Ye Moxuan nibbled on her neck and said calmly, “Don’t worry. She’s sleeping soundly, so she won’t be awake for at least a couple of hours.”
“What if she does?” Han Muzi was worried, for she could feel Ye Moxuan’s hand touching her everywhere under the blanket.
“There is no what if. She has been sleeping this way recently.” Ye Moxuan sounded raspier.
Han Muzi wanted to stop him, but she started becoming horny because of him teasing her. The woman bit her lip and grabbed his collar. “But…” Then, she was kissed, and that stopped her from talking.
Back at the airport, Yan kept her phone and looked up at Han Qing. “Um, Muzi said she won’t be coming because it’s late.”
“Okay,” Han Qing replied calmly, thinking that this was nothing to worry about. He tidied her hair and straightened out her collar, then he said warmly, “Mr. Nan is waiting for us outside, so where should we go tonight?”
“Um…” Yan blushed, for Han Qing’s finger brushed against her face when he straightened her out. Even though it was a small touch, it made her heart jump. However, the thing that surprised her most was that Han Qing was actually asking where they should go. Is he inviting me? Will we do some hanky-panky stuff then? Just because of his question and minor gesture, Yan started imagining things, and then it made her turn scarlet.
What is this girl thinking? He squinted at her. She seems to take everything the wrong way easily. Han Qing wanted to take her back to his place because sending her back to her home might disturb her parents at this hour. That was why he wanted to ask her opinion, but then she blushed. Han Qing flicked her on her forehead.
“Ow.” Yan gasped, ruining all the sexual thoughts she had in mind. She held her forehead and looked at him angrily. “Why did you do that?”
“You haven’t answered my question. Should we go back to my place or yours?”
