Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened in shock. Was this really necessary? It was getting a bit dark, but it wasn’t like she had transformed into a celestial beauty. A closer look and she was still the same person.
Her fluttering eyes blinked at her bargain husband. Her pouting little red lips smiled, showcasing two cute dimples, hoping he would recognize her. But, to her disappointment,
"Miss, are you looking for me?" Yang Ming, seeing that the woman wasn’t responding and kept staring intently at him with a smile, felt quite uneasy. He immediately asked again.
"..." Xiaoxiao was completely frustrated. How could her bargain husband still not recognize her? The difference really wasn’t that significant. Could it be that he had face blindness?
Seeing Yang Ming’s puzzled expression, Xiaoxiao got a mischievous idea. She decided to tease Yang Ming by pretending to be another woman to see how he would react.
She picked up a handkerchief, pretending to be very shy, covered half of her face, and intentionally used a very soft, gentle voice.
"Young Master Yang, since our hurried parting, this young lady has missed you terribly and didn’t know what to do. Today, I have come just to see you."
Upon hearing the woman’s voice, Yang Ming, in addition to being surprised, scowled, his face dark as coal. What was this woman talking about? He didn’t recognize her at all.
He had just been pondering how this person looked a bit like his wife. Now, hearing her voice, he immediately dismissed that thought. It definitely wasn’t his wife.
"Miss, you have the wrong person." Yang Ming turned and walked away, feeling like he had encountered someone not quite right in the head. He didn’t want to get entangled with another woman.
As her bargain husband walked away, Xiaoxiao quickly stepped forward and hugged Yang Ming from behind, "Young Master, the young lady hasn’t mistaken you. That day, you even held my hand..."
"Miss, please behave yourself."
Yang Ming immediately pried Xiaoxiao’s hands off, showing no mercy and harshly shoving her aside. Leaving behind nothing but those words, he dashed into the Academy.
"..." She wasn’t done playing yet. Why did her bargain husband run off? Watching him sprint so fast he nearly tripped and fell was truly amusing. She hadn’t realized he could be so adorably funny.
But what now? Should she just leave? She couldn’t let him go without knowing it was her. She wasn’t willing to give up. So, she found an Attendant Student and asked him to call Yang Ming out.
Unexpectedly, she couldn’t even get him called out, "Miss, Yang Ming said he doesn’t know you. Please leave quickly."
"..." What should she do now?
"Please, help me call him one more time."
The Attendant Student, seeing how Xiaoxiao kept pleading, really couldn’t bear to refuse. So he went inside again. Upon returning, he advised Xiaoxiao, "Miss, you should go. He won’t come out."
"..." Was there really no hope? An idea flashed in her mind. Turning to the Attendant Student, she raised a finger and pleaded, "Little brother, please, just one last time."
Seeing Xiaoxiao’s demeanor, the Attendant Student helplessly shook his head, "Okay, but really, this is the last time."
Yang Ming, seeing the Attendant Student coming back, said impatiently, "I really don’t know her. Just have her leave, and if you see her again, don’t bother telling me."
"She wanted me to relay a message. If you still won’t come out after hearing it, then she’ll really leave."
"..." Still a message? Even with the message, he wouldn’t go out. He didn’t know that person, and what if he got entangled?
"She said she’s your wife." The Attendant Student was puzzled. What was a wife?
