Chapter 429: Thank You, But No Need
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As Xia Ju spoke, a transparent tube appeared in her hand. It contained a light green liquid. “This is a nutrient supplement. Don’t undermine it just because it’s green and doesn’t look good. As long as you drink this tube, I guarantee that you won’t feel hungry at all for the next week. Do you want to try?”
Du Yue hurriedly waved her hand. “Thank you, but there’s no need.”
If this thing was so delicious, why did Xia Ju and He Xing enjoy food so much every time they ate?
Seeing Du Yue’s merciless rejection, Xia Ju did not give up and wanted to try again. She blinked her big innocent eyes and said in a more coaxing tone than before, “Just try it! This is really good stuff. If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t be willing to give it to them. Besides, I’ve eaten so much of your good food, so I have to give you something good to taste! If you don’t accept it, I’ll really be sad.”
Du Yue grinned dryly. “I don’t know if it’s a good thing, but you’re definitely a bad person!”
Besides, Xia Ju was not considered a freeloader. Xia Ju pursed her lips and pretended to be sad. “It must be because I didn’t do well enough, so Big Sister won’t give me the honor of tasting what I made. It’s okay. If she doesn’t want to drink it, then so be it. I’ll cry alone for a while…”
Du Yue looked at Xia Ju in disappointment. “I should have confiscated your phone and tablet! Can you watch less melodramatic romance dramas in the future?”
After saying that, Du Yue turned around and left with a cold face, no longer looking at Xia Ju’s expression.
The moment she turned around, Du Yue secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her brain worked quickly and thought of a countermeasure. Otherwise, she would have been coerced by Xia Ju to drink the nutrient solution. The internet was really harmful! Xia Ju, an alien, could actually act like a hypocritical b*tch now. However, it was strange that she did not feel disgusted at all when she saw Xia Ju’s performance. In fact, she even thought that it was very cute… Indeed, beauty was a sharp sword!
At this moment, Du Yue suddenly noticed He Xing looking at her with a smile. Du Yue rolled her eyes at him impatiently, warning him not to cause trouble. He Xing raised a finger to his lips and nodded heavily. Xia Ju, who was standing behind Du Yue, did not see the two of them making eyes at each other, but she sensed something strange. “What are you two doing?”
Du Yue shook her head. “Nothing. I’m so sleepy. I’ll go back to the second floor to sleep first.” Before she finished speaking, Du Yue had already walked to the stairs and quickly walked upstairs. He Xing obediently followed behind her and went upstairs. Xia Ju watched the two of them leave and suddenly remembered something.
What did Du Yue just say? Was she going to confiscate her phone and tablet and stop her from watching dramas? That would not do! Life was already boring enough. If she could not watch those TV shows, what was the point of living? Xia Ju stared at the stairs angrily for a long time before stomping her feet heavily.
She was not going to look for Du Yue! Anyway, it would be time for dinner soon. Du Yue would come down by herself! With that thought, Xia Ju turned around and returned to her room.
In the room on the second floor, Du Yue had already returned to her room and was lying lazily on the couch. At this moment, there were only she and He Xing in the room. Naturally, she did not have to hide her emotions. Du Yue’s lips curled up, and there was a deep smile in her eyes. He Xing sat opposite her, not quite understanding why she was smiling so happily. “Why are you so happy?” Du Yue glanced at He Xing. “You don’t know what I’m happy about?”
Before He Xing could ask again, Du Yue answered, “I think Xia Ju is different now. Although she isn’t young anymore, just looking at her little face and her coquettish personality when she can’t reason with me makes me feel like I’m raising a child. Although I haven’t given birth to a child yet, I inexplicably have a feeling that I’ll like being a mother…”
He Xing did not respond immediately when he heard this. Instead, he sighed deeply and slowly said, “I have never seen a child who can kill a few strong men just because of a disagreement…”
Speaking of this, Du Yue could not help but laugh.
Who would have predicted that Xia Ju, who had such a harmless baby face, would be so steady and ruthless when she attacked?
