The released Xiangxiang, her face covered in tears and her whole body trembling with anger, opened the carriage window. "Stop the carriage."
Hearing the order from their young miss, the coachman immediately called for a halt, "Whoa."
After the carriage stopped, Xiangxiang stood up, opened the carriage door, and pointed in the direction of the door, shouting furiously at Chu Lian, "Get out."
Seeing Xiangxiang’s demeanor, Chu Lian was stunned. He had indeed gone too far just now, how could he kiss her? Wasn’t that tainting the purity of a lady? Anyone would be angry in her place.
Seeing Chu Lian unmoved, she grabbed his clothes and, using all her strength, dragged him towards the outside of the carriage, "I told you to get out, right now."
"Fine, I’ll get out, let go of me."
Chu Lian didn’t know how to face this wilful girl anymore. Although he’d been approached by many women before, he had never lost control . It must have been the agitation from Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming that made him act out today, it had to be.
He was about to get out of the carriage when he heard Xiaoxiao’s words.
"Young Master Chu, wait a moment."
Xiaoxiao saw that they had already traveled halfway and thought that if she really let him get out now, he would have to walk back. Besides, by the looks of these two, there was definitely something fishy going on. Actually, in terms of family status and age, they were quite well-matched, but she didn’t know whether Chu Lian was already married or not?
"Sister Wang, don’t let him get out. We’re already halfway there. If we make him get out now, he’ll have to walk all the way back."
Xiangxiang sat unmoved, "That’s what he deserves."
"Yes, he deserves it, but look at this wilderness. What if something happens to him while he’s alone?"
"If something happens, even better. I’ll collect his corpse."
"..." Xiangxiang was truly angry, and there was no point continuing the conversation.
"There’s no need to plead for me, I’m getting out now."
Chu Lian didn’t want to stay in the carriage any longer, nor did he know how to deal with the wilful girl anymore.
Seeing the deadlock between the two, Yang Ming had to step in to support his wife.
"Miss Wang, could you do me a favor and let him stay? He only got onto the carriage because of me. If he gets out now and something happens, I wouldn’t know how to explain it to his family."
"..." Chu Lian was speechless upon hearing this. What were Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming thinking? They acted as if he would definitely meet with an accident if he got out. Couldn’t they wish for something good for him?
Xiangxiang looked at Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming, deep in thought. Allowing him to get out now would indeed let him off too easily; she wanted revenge. They could just bring him along to witness Xiaoxiao and her husband’s affectionate relationship.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt this was the only way to alleviate the hatred in her heart. Thus, she returned to her seat and said to Chu Lian, "Aren’t you going to close the carriage door quickly?"
"..." Chu Lian could only feel that today was an exceptionally unlucky day; no one had ever spoken to him with such an attitude before—she was the first.
Xiaoxiao smiled at her cheap husband. It seemed her husband had a way. She turned to Chu Lian and winked, "What are you waiting for? Close the door quickly, the carriage is about to leave."
"..." Chu Lian was speechless, as if they assumed he didn’t want to leave. But under such circumstances, if he left the carriage now, he would seem persistently bothersome, so he shut the carriage door and returned to his seat.
The carriage moved on, with Xiangxiang still sitting there, puffed up with anger,
Xiaoxiao immediately gave Chu Lian a meaningful look and mouthed to him, "Apologize quickly."
Seeing Xiaoxiao’s gestures and lip movements, he looked at Xiangxiang and, despite his reluctance, still said, "I’m sorry. This will never happen again, I promise."
