Chapter 1096: Cannot Meet the Eye
Lu Yuhao looked down at her, "In your imagination, what kind of man am I?"
Miao Feishuang glared at him, "A super hero, a soldier who rarely laughs, and a man hard to approach."
"So, you’re planning to marry such a version of me, and peacefully live your married life?" Lu Yuhao saw through her thoughts.
Miao Feishuang muttered softly, "That was before, who knew I misunderstood. Now, I genuinely want to live with you, I want to have your children..."
Before she could finish, the man lowered his head and sealed her lips with another kiss.
Of course, for a long time, Miao Feishuang dared not look directly at mahjong anymore.
She thought, she must have married a falsely serious man.
Because, once a serious man stops being serious, the world seems to go insane.
...
Driver Xiao Liu drove to the residence complex where Xue Xiangtong lived, following the address she provided.
"Thank you, Master Liu, drive back safely." Xue Xiangtong got out of the car, reminding him.
"Miss Xue, you’re too kind." Xiao Liu drove away.
Xue Xiangtong looked at her lonely figure under the moonlight, took out her phone again, but Mu Shaojie still hadn’t messaged her.
She felt a bit lost and helpless, then kicked a small stone on the ground, walking slowly forward.
She swayed her handbag, and upon returning to her rented place, she saw a tall figure standing at the door.
The voice-activated light came on, illuminating his face.
"Shao Jue..."
Xue Xiangtong was so surprised that her handbag dropped to the ground. She had not expected Mu Shaojie to be waiting for her at her house.
"Why aren’t you inside?"
"I forgot to bring my key." Mu Shaojie looked at her.
"Why didn’t you call me?" Xue Xiangtong looked at him with concern, "Have you been here long?"
Mu Shaojie didn’t answer that question. As she took out her key to open the door, he asked in a deep voice, "Who was the man that just sent you home?"
It was an uncommon luxury car, and he had seen her get out of it with his own eyes.
Xue Xiangtong opened the door, "The driver from Sister Feishuang’s family."
Mu Shaojie had thought she was getting too close to some other man...
Xue Xiangtong suddenly turned back, bumping right into his embrace. She looked up at him, wondering if Shao Jue was angry with such a questioning tone?
"Shao Jue..." she held onto his arm.
Mu Shaojie looked down at her; the room was unlit, and moonlight mixed with streetlights streamed inside, casting some hazy and floating shadows.
Surveying the scene, she boldly stood on tiptoes and swiftly kissed his lips...
Mu Shaojie stiffened on the spot.
He did not respond at all.
Xue Xiangtong’s heart plunged to the bottom.
That meant he had no intention of starting a relationship.
His care for her might really just be like she was his sister.
His concern for her was perhaps just because they grew up together.
Luckily, Xue Xiangtong never blamed him; it was she who had overthought.
"Sorry, Shao Jue, I almost fell..."
She quickly stepped back, letting the awkwardness disappear into the night.
"Shao Jue, are you hungry? I’ll cook something for you. Let me see what’s in the fridge..."
She said as she opened the refrigerator.
The fridge light was a warm orange, casting a cozy glow in the unlit living room.
"How about beef noodles? Quick and convenient, and it’ll help you maintain your figure?" Xue Xiangtong looked back at him, flashing a bright smile.
Even without romance, she didn’t want to lose this friendship.
