Seeing the rogue man surrounded by a group of aunties, Wang Xiangxiang felt very pleased. She didn’t know what they were talking about, but seeing his embarrassed expression, he must have been awkwardly rebuffed, which delighted her.
However, she hadn’t expected the rogue man to point at her while talking to those people, giving her the impression that he was speaking ill of her. She wanted to leave, but then she saw the rogue man walking towards her.
The aunties loudly shouted behind her, "Go and coax her!"
Wang Xiangxiang was instantly stunned. Coax whom? What on earth had the rogue man said to those people?
Chu Lian, who was walking towards Wang Xiangxiang, wore a smile and was proud to have gained the upper hand, pulling one over on her.
He came up to Wang Xiangxiang and cheerfully said, "Let’s go back."
Wang Xiangxiang looked bewildered and glanced around, "Are you talking to me?"
The rogue man taking the initiative to talk to her? She didn’t believe it, because of last night’s eavesdropping incident, and this morning they were at odds again.
"Could there be anyone else here?" Chu Lian was speechless. This willful woman, seemed destined to clash with him. He finally tried to talk to her normally for once, and she was still provocatively difficult.
"I’m not going back. I’m waiting to see the wedding ceremony."
Wang Xiangxiang really didn’t want to go back. She had never seen a village wedding ceremony and didn’t see a reason to return home. After all, Xiaoxiao and her husband were getting along fine at home, why would she go back just to suffer?
"You..." Chu Lian pointed at the willful woman, absolutely infuriated by her. She seemed so interested in someone else’s wedding ceremony.
If it weren’t because everyone had left this morning and he stayed fearing the awkward encounter between Yang Ming, Xiaoxiao, and himself, he wouldn’t have come at all.
Seeing the willful woman refuse to leave, he angrily grabbed her wrist and dragged her away.
"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you pulling me? I’m not going back."
Chu Lian said nothing and kept pulling Wang Xiangxiang.
Wang Xiangxiang noticed too many people in the courtyard, and embarrassed to become the center of attention, she let herself be dragged away.
Once they were out of the gate and on the road, Wang Xiangxiang fiercely broke free and shouted, "Let go of me!"
Startled by her loud voice, Chu Lian then realized he had gone too far by pulling on the willful woman. He immediately let go, "Sorry."
Wang Xiangxiang, rubbing her wrist, her face cold as ice, thought this rogue man had crossed the line. He not only kissed her but also pulled on her wrist, ruining her reputation.
"You rogue man, stay away from me in the future."
Chu Lian, who had just felt a bit excessive, upon hearing this, immediately felt justified, "You willful woman, stay away from me."
Hearing this, Wang Xiangxiang felt they might really be cursed in their fate together, and she truly didn’t want to talk to him anymore. Without turning her head, she walked away.
Seeing the willful woman not turning back toward the wedding banquet, Chu Lian was quite pleased. She was surely going back to Yang Ming’s house, so he followed her. After all, with more people around, it wouldn’t be as awkward when they got back.
The frustrated Wang Xiangxiang leading the way wondered, what was the rogue man following her for?
She turned her head and huffed, "Stop following me!"
"I’m not following you, we just happen to be going the same way."
"..." The same way? She wasn’t going back to Xiaoxiao’s home.
Still fuming, she continued walking until the crossroads, where she took a different turn, not towards Xiaoxiao’s house, but towards a rented courtyard.
Chu Lian, unaware of the rented courtyard, thoughtlessly shouted after her, "You’re going the wrong way."
