Chapter 1378 - 1392: Look at How Pathetic You Are
Even though Xiao Xiao usually gives as good as she gets, she was defeated by Lin Junyang’s thick-skinned manner.
"Lin Junyang, shut up," Xiao Xiao’s face, which had just regained its color, turned crimson again as she spun around to pack her backpack.
She really had to leave now, because she was too embarrassed to stay any longer.
"No worries if you can’t, I can teach you, free of charge," Lin Junyang said from behind her, leaning close to her ear.
"Lin Junyang, get out, get out," Xiao Xiao couldn’t bear it any longer and pushed the man out of the room.
After closing the door, she could feel the little deer in her heart going wild, hopping around her chest as if it could burst out any second.
Her face was also burning uncontrollably.
She went into the bathroom, turned on the tap, splashed some water on her face, and looked at the woman in the mirror, giving herself a good scolding.
"Xiao Xiao, oh Xiao Xiao, look at you, making such a fuss over a single kiss!"
Yet despite her words, her heart was still sweet.
When she stepped out again, Lin Junyang was downstairs on the phone. As she came down, he finished the call and hung up, his eyes fixed on the backpack in her hand, his face instantly masked with a chilling expression quicker than a freezer.
Xiao Xiao thought to herself, if only it were summer, just to annoy this man with the heat. He’d be the ultimate solution to sweltering temperatures.
To avoid any frostbite, Xiao Xiao coughed lightly and explained, "Lin Junyang, I’ve been here at the Lin Family for five or six days now, sticking around every day. Since I’m leaving soon, shouldn’t I have a meal with Ranran and Instructor Mu?"
"Aren’t you glued to Tuzi every day at school? What’s the point of a meal now?" Lin Junyang scoffed disdainfully.
"That’s not with Ranran. This time it’s with the couple, Instructor Mu and Ranran," Xiao Xiao replied, giving him a knowing look.
Lin Junyang snorted lightly, "Xiao Xiao, look at you making a fuss over nothing."
Normally, Xiao Xiao would immediately counter with her imposing presence. She’d never tolerate being humiliated like this. Letting someone call her useless, even the sound coming out from his nose would make her want to bite him.
But at this moment...
Being useless was better than being home alone with this man.
As a young woman as pretty as a flower, even if he was the one she loved, she couldn’t help feeling hurt by such mockery.
After all, she still cared about her dignity.
Some things she knew herself, why should she say them out loud? Never met such an insufferable man.
...
The morning sunshine gently sprinkled across the windowsill.
An Ran opened her eyes and saw the man beside her sitting at the edge of the bed, flipping through her textbook.
She and Mu Xingfeng had been together for quite a while, but it was rare for her to wake up and see him there.
Mu Xingfeng had a habit of morning runs. Even when he wasn’t with the Guard Team, he wouldn’t laze around in bed, whereas An Ran was sure to sleep in whenever they spent the night together.
Feeling An Ran awake, Mu Xingfeng placed the book aside, leaned down to give her a good morning kiss, "Awake?"
An Ran nodded and sat up.
Perhaps her gaze was too fervent, Mu Xingfeng paused in his movement to get out of bed, turned back to glance at the little one, and suddenly leaned in to ask, "Honey, what are you looking at? Want your husband to keep you company a bit more?"
