Chapter 1375 - 1389: The Joke’s a Little Cold
Lin Junyang watched Sun Wangbei’s enraged figure recede and unclenched his fist.
He didn’t know who to trust. Xie Yuting was so perfect in his heart, and the time they spent together was the happiest time of his life.
He couldn’t allow anyone to slander such a perfect her.
But logic told him his brothers wouldn’t lie to him.
A dull turn, and he caught sight of a slender figure on the stairs.
Xiao Xiao met the man’s gaze unexpectedly, standing there, unsure whether to move forward or retreat back to the guest room.
In fact, she really wanted to say that it was just as awkward for her to be here, okay?
She had gone to freshen up in the bathroom after seeing Sun Wangbei come to the Lin Family from the window, who knew he would still be talking all this time, she was just hungry and wanted to come down for a bite, but it seemed she overheard something significant.
"I... I’m hungry, wanted to find something to eat," after a while, Xiao Xiao awkwardly pointed to the kitchen.
"Mm, have them prepare it," Lin Junyang instructed a servant to serve the meal.
Xiao Xiao slowly walked down the stairs, glancing at the man’s expression as she walked, feeling she should say something to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"Well... actually... I just came out too." It was the truth, she could swear on it.
"It’s okay," Lin Junyang replied in a deep voice, taking the first seat at the dining table.
Xiao Xiao continued with her little shuffling steps, feeling the man’s mood was not very good.
After all, whose cherished flower, when called worthless by others, could still feel pleasant?
"Well, it’s true, with your voices so loud, closing the door inside isn’t much different from being outside with the door open, huh."
Hearing Lin Junyang say it’s okay, Xiao Xiao attempted to use her unique humor to further ease the dining atmosphere, but after speaking she realized her joke was a bit cold, making the surrounding temperature even drop a few degrees with her cold joke.
"Weren’t you hungry? Go ahead and eat." Lin Junyang personally served a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of her.
"Oh," Xiao Xiao responded, lowering her head to drink the porridge.
After a few sips of porridge, Xiao Xiao suddenly felt that something was different at the Lin Family today, looking around she found not only Lin’s father and Lin’s mother were absent, but even Old Mr. Lin wasn’t home.
"Has Grandpa Lin already had breakfast?"
"Do you think everyone is like you? Grandpa eats breakfast at exactly seven-thirty every day." Lin Junyang scoffed, finishing as he saw the girl lower her head again, thinking his tone just now seemed not very good.
Her not being the reason for his bad mood, how could he vent at her?
Just the thought of Sun Wangbei’s words, about his willingness to marry her home, made him feel even more uncomfortable.
What’s so great about this fool? Each one of them treats her as a treasure, and that’s fine, but why are the ones interested in her all like that?
Though Sun Wangbei is a sworn brother, his character isn’t much better than Jing Xiangyang’s, right?
Surrounded daily by various actresses, if Xiao Xiao really followed Sun Wangbei, she’d eventually be devoured by the women around him, not even leaving bones.
The more Lin Junyang thought about it, the more discontented he felt inside.
While Xiao Xiao was eating, she just felt the pressure around her getting lower and lower, making it hard for her to breathe.
She glanced up at the man, oh dear, Sun Young Master’s words indeed hit his sore spot, see how angry it made him.
