Chapter 840: Chapter 566: Warning_3
“Alright, I’ll think about it.” Chuxia didn’t agree immediately. She also felt Yu Yang’s plight was somewhat pitiful, but when it came to Yu Tao’s health and Yu Yang’s pitiable situation, she would certainly choose the former.
“I know you’re worried about Yu Tao’s health. I don’t think it’s as bad as you fear. I’m quite familiar with Yu Tao; she’s a really kind-hearted girl. I’m sure she also has her reservations about Yu Yang not coming home for so many years. However, asking her to take the initiative to find Yu Yang and beg him to come home is impossible.
As long as Yu Yang is willing to lower his head a bit, she should respond quickly. After all, Yu Yang hasn’t treated Zhou Xikang badly, so it can’t be considered a deep hatred, right?”
“Alright, I’ll test the waters with sister-in-law before I decide…,” Chuxia thought for a moment and said, “I think I’ll first sound out brother’s opinion instead.”
“What are you trying to gauge from me?” As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Xikang walked in with a warm smile on his face.
“Brother, what are you doing here?” Chuxia quickly stood up, “We were just chatting, trying to learn a bit about your and sister-in-law’s love story, that’s all.”
Zhou Xikang chuckled, “What’s there to find out? I can tell you openly. I had my eyes on your sister-in-law, so I pursued her and brought her home as my wife.
Xiaomi has to stay with the troupe to finish the party with the soldiers, so she asked me to pick you up. Are you a bit disappointed?”
Chuxia scoffed, “Why would I be disappointed? Going home with you saves me the boredom. As long as I don’t say a word, you won’t either.”
Song Xiaoyu waved at Chuxia and Wang Jing, “Alright, you guys go ahead. I’ll just wait here for the handover.”
“Thanks a lot, teacher! Happy New Year’s Eve in advance!” Knowing that Song Xiaoyu didn’t want Zhou Xikang to run into Yu Yang, Chuxia cheerfully agreed and headed out, calling out to Wang Jing, who was still packing, “Hurry up, senior sister, my brother and I will wait in the car for you.” Updates are released by novel·fire·net
Wang Jing smiled and waved her hand, “No need, I’ll take the bus home myself. This is the first year I’m spending with my dad. I want to buy him his favorite yellow rice cakes on my way home, so I won’t take up your time.”
“Today is New Year’s Eve, everyone wants to go home earlier than usual. If you take the bus, you might not be able to buy anything. It’s not often that we can trouble brother; why be so polite, right?”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Zhou Xikang nodded repeatedly, “You’re San Auntie’s niece, which makes you my niece too. It’s only right to give you a lift.”
Chuxia looked at him amused, “Brother, you’ve managed to elevate your status quickly.”
“Ah?” Zhou Xikang was briefly confused but then realized his mistake, embarrassedly looking at Wang Jing, “I made a miscalculation. You’re my younger sister, not my niece.”
“I thought so, something felt off earlier. Alright, since you’ve taken such a big advantage of me, it’d be unfair to myself not to trouble you.” Wang Jing slung her bag over her shoulder, waved to Song Xiaoyu, “Teacher, I’m going with them. Thanks for your hard work.”
“Go on, go on…” Song Xiaoyu, feeling anxious like being on fire, hurried them, “Such fussiness, really quite annoying.”
Just as you fear, trouble indeed comes as expected. As Zhou Xikang, Chuxia, and Wang Jing stepped out of the office, they saw Yu Yang walking hurriedly towards them with a notebook.
The distance between them was only about three meters, making it impossible to avoid. Chuxia discreetly glanced at Zhou Xikang’s face, observing his reaction.
Unfortunately, to Chuxia’s surprise, Zhou Xikang didn’t recognize Yu Yang at all. He just swaggered right past him…
Yu Yang, having prepared to greet them, stood there dumbfounded for a long while before realizing. With a bitter smile, he shook his head, realizing that all along it was just wishful thinking on his part! (To be continued. If you work, you’re welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com).
