Lou Xinyu’s appearance felt very familiar to Xing Chen, and she even called him "Brother"...
Ran Xiangsi frowned, feeling a subtle change in her heart, though she hadn’t yet noticed that something had quietly shifted.
Instinctively and naturally, she stepped forward and took Xing Chen’s arm.
It was like a silent declaration of ownership.
Xing Chen heard the voice too and turned back, his eyes full of unfamiliarity, though it was clear that anyone who knew his English name must be somewhat acquainted with him.
"And you are?" He raised an eyebrow and asked nonchalantly, as though speaking to a stranger without a hint of emotion.
When Lou Xinyu had walked up, she had imagined countless possibilities. Wouldn’t Brother William’s eyes be full of tenderness when he saw her?
But she never expected that he... didn’t remember her at all!
Lou Xinyu was stunned for a moment, and her jealousy rose to a new level.
However, she didn’t show much on her face. Quickly, she smiled to cover it up. "It’s me, Xinyu, your cousin Xining’s cousin. Brother William, you were recovering at our house when you were little, and I was the one who took care of you!"
With that, Xing Chen immediately remembered.
So the little kid from all those years ago had grown up this much.
Xing Chen didn’t have much of a problem with Lou Xinyu, after all, she was from the Lou Family, and if it weren’t for their help back then, he would probably be dead already.
"I remember now." He nodded at Lou Xinyu with the utmost gentlemanly courtesy.
Hearing this, Lou Xinyu felt proud again and provocatively looked at Ran Xiangsi, asking, "And who is this..."
"So the campus belle Lou Xining mentioned last night was you?" Ran Xiangsi interrupted Lou Xinyu and asked in return.
Xing Chen didn’t expect Ran Xiangsi to talk so much all of a sudden, and his dark eyes subtly shifted, beginning to secretly observe the woman beside him.
Lou Xinyu froze instantly upon hearing Ran Xiangsi’s words.
Her face turned an ashen grey in the blink of an eye.
Last night, Lou Xining had said he had dinner with Brother William and his wife. Now with Ran Xiangsi saying this, could it be?
"You... You are Brother William’s wife?" Lou Xinyu’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked towards Ran Xiangsi!
Ran Xiangsi was quite pleased with how quickly Lou Xinyu reacted, otherwise, she wouldn’t have bothered to mention Lou Xining so deliberately.
"I think you should ask your Brother William." Ran Xiangsi threw the question to Xing Chen, waiting expectantly for his answer.
"Brother William, is she really?" Lou Xinyu’s urgent gaze quickly turned to Xing Chen.
"Yes." Xing Chen nodded, his arm around Ran Xiangsi’s waist tightened slightly, as if punishing her for her mischief.
How could Ran Xiangsi’s little scheme escape Xing Chen’s notice?
She deliberately threw the question to him, waiting to enjoy the show?
Feeling the pain in her waist, Ran Xiangsi really wanted to turn and glare at this boorish man, but when she turned, she raised her eyebrows and asked Xing Chen, "Is this your first love? Someone you’ve grown up with?"
Didn’t he ask her as soon as he arrived today if she had a fiancé?
Fine, then she’d follow his lead and ask if he had a first love. Follow current novels on ɴoᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt
Though Lou Xinyu couldn’t accept the fact that Xing Chen was married, hearing Ran Xiangsi’s question filled her eyes with anticipation as she looked at Xing Chen.
