"Do you really have to be so shameless?"
"How can this be called shameless..."
In the hotpot restaurant, two old men were arguing incessantly, and Chiang Xiao, who had been pulled out by Meng Xinian, didn’t know about it.
She just found it very amusing, but seeing the darkened face of Meng Xinian, she neither dared to laugh nor felt it appropriate to do so. The whole way out, she struggled to hold back her laughter.
It wasn’t until they were some distance from the hotpot restaurant that Meng Xinian finally loosened his grip. As he glanced at her, he saw her trying to suppress her laughter and instantly felt his irritation rise. He reached out and flicked her on the forehead.
"What, you think it’s funny, don’t you?"
Chiang Xiao, covering her forehead, quickly shook her head and said, "Not at all!"
"Go ahead and laugh if you want to, I see you’re about to burst," said Meng Xinian irritably.
Only then did Chiang Xiao not hold back and burst into hearty laughter.
She reached out to poke Meng Xinian’s face, "Your face is so dark."
"Heartless little Kitten," Meng Xinian grabbed her hand.
Chiang Xiao started laughing, but then she couldn’t laugh anymore.
Somehow, she always felt that since she ran away to Capital City, there had been some changes between them; Meng Xinian seemed more expressive with his feelings.
Now she could clearly see his intentions toward her.
Meng Xinian looked at her and said, "Little, although I am a whole seven years older than you, I’m not in a hurry, I will wait for you to grow up. Don’t be attracted to those snot-nosed brats; you have a mature and rational heart. You wouldn’t like those little boys, would you?"
His deep dark eyes locked onto her, waiting for her response.
She indeed couldn’t possibly like those teenage boys.
Meng Xinian laughed upon hearing her response, ruffled her hair, and said, "I believe you."
They still didn’t end up eating hotpot that afternoon.
It was true that the Fong Family and the Gao Family had fallen out over what happened to Fong Jianye.
Gao Wei, in the hospital room, looking at Fong Jianye whose head was wrapped in white gauze, said irritably, "Jianye, I have apologized countless times already, what more do you want? We both should be against Meng Xi, have you forgotten? I was aiming for him too; nobody expected him to use you as a human shield. We should really blame Meng Xi for this, you know that!"
Now, the people from the Fong Family and the Gao Family were making a ruckus outside. These families used to be inseparable, but now there was a rift between them.
Gao Wei never expected the situation to turn out ; he felt angry, anxious, and annoyed. He kicked a chair beside him, and the chair fell to the ground with a clang.
Looking at his behavior, Fong Jianye hadn’t found anything wrong with it before, but now he also felt extremely irritated, "Gao Wei, are you taking your anger out on me? I’m not angry because you accidentally hit me. I’m angry because after you injured me, you ran away! You damn left me and ran off! If Meng Xi had left me there, would I just lie there bleeding and waiting to die?"
He learned about it afterwards.
He had thought Gao Wei was the one who brought him to the hospital. Instead, everyone told him it was Meng Xi who took him there. Later, Gao Wei claimed that Meng Xi was the one who injured him, and that Gao Wei had then gone to find the Fong family to confront Meng Xi.
He wasn’t an idiot. With his injuries, wouldn’t the first thing be to take him to the hospital? Going to find the Fongs, what was that supposed to mean?
