Song Xueqin smiled and asked, "This is..."
Song Song took a deep breath, closed her eyes, knowing she couldn’t escape this time. Just as she was about to answer, the man beside her spoke up first.
"Hello Aunt, I am Song Song’s good friend’s... little uncle. My name is Xiao Jinghuai."
Song Song’s heart skipped a beat; she hadn’t expected this man to help her keep it a secret...
"Xiao Jinghuai?" Song Xueqin chuckled, "That’s a nice name."
Xiao Jinghuai glanced at the girl’s shocked expression, then said, "Aunt, my car is just downstairs. Let’s go now!"
"Eh! Okay..." Song Xueqin looked towards Jiang Yixiu standing at the door, smiled, and waved at him, "Little Jiang, this is not right. I should have been discharged by you, how come I’m bothering Song Song’s friend’s little uncle! You’re quite an unqualified boyfriend..."
Jiang Yixiu felt as if he’d been struck by lightning, not daring to go inside or even glance, "Aunt, the relationship between Song Song and I should be explained by her. I have a few more surgeries to attend to, so I’ll be going now. Hope you enjoy your discharge!"
After speaking, Jiang Yixiu looked at the only man in the ward, seeing his sharp gaze like knives, enough to slice him into pieces...
Terrified, his limbs went weak, he barely managed to run away.
As he walked, he pulled out his phone, "Chief, I want to take my annual leave."
"You want leave at this time, who’ll cover your work..."
"I don’t care, either way, I want my annual leave. If you don’t agree, I’ll jump off the building; after all, the fall might be quicker..."
"Hey! Little Jiang, what’s wrong with you? Don’t go doing something crazy!"
"..."
He was pretty open-minded about it, just afraid that certain someone demanded every penny’s worth and wouldn’t let him go!
...
Song Xueqin walked ahead, Xiao Jinghuai carried the luggage behind, and following him was the tiptoeing Song Song.
She looked at the tall slim figure, clenched her small hands slightly, gathered her courage, and ran over to him, speaking softly, "...Little uncle, thank you for not exposing me just now."
"What’s the matter between you and Jiang Yixiu?" Xiao Jinghuai asked with a cold face.
"It’s just a small misunderstanding. Rest assured, I’ll explain it clearly to my mom..."
"Am I so embarrassing that you need to invite someone else as a shield?"
"It’s not like that, just because..."
"Because what?"
Song Song’s eyes subtly lowered, "Uh... Just because little uncle isn’t my mom’s ideal son-in-law image."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinghuai suddenly paused his steps, turned to look at the girl beside him, about to say something when she looked up and gave him a bright smile.
"Little uncle is so excellent; he must be paired with an equally excellent girl!"
"Damn, I’m just a kid. I really don’t know what Grandpa Xiao saw in me, maybe his eyesight is pretty bad, so he couldn’t see clearly!"
"Hahaha..."
Xiao Jinghuai squinted slightly, "His judgment has never been great."
"Oh..."
Song Song lowered her head again but couldn’t bring herself to smile, realizing in his eyes, she really seemed quite ordinary.
"How long do you plan on being married to me in name only?"
Xiao Jinghuai asked again.
Song Song instinctively bit her lip, "A year?"
Is he planning to make a contract with her? As soon as the time is up, they would immediately divorce...
The man remained silent.
"Then two years?"
The man still stayed silent.
"Then three years?"
"Seems like you’re eager to..."
"Song Song..."
A call came, raising Song Song’s heart, "Little uncle, my mom is calling. I should go over..."
"Alright."
The man carried the luggage bag in one hand, watching the girl running away, his gaze growing deeper.
