Jiang Xiaomi was really annoyed. How could she have unwittingly revealed her true self in a moment of pride?
Gentle, she must stay gentle!
The gentle image she had barely managed to uphold was ruined in a moment of carelessness! Mimi, you really can’t keep your cool, can you? Disappointing!
Muttering to herself, the expressions on Jiang Xiaomi’s face changed repeatedly, and finally, she put on what she thought was a cute smile, "Brother Nan, why that expression? It looks like you’re at a loss for words. Did someone make you mad?"
Watching Jiang Xiaomi’s contrived demeanor, not just Chen Nan, even Su Qingqing couldn’t bear to watch, and both burst into laughter.
Only Liu Tiantian, the silly girl, blinked her watery eyes and couldn’t resist reaching out to touch Jiang Xiaomi’s forehead, "Hey, Smelly Mimi, did you really get scared silly? Why do you look as dumb as me?"
Chen Nan and Su Qingqing could no longer hold back and covered their stomachs, laughing out loud.
And there was Liu Tiantian with her silly, clueless face, asking innocently, "Cousin, Qingqing, what are you laughing at? Smelly Mimi just now really did look silly."
Seeing the reactions of the three, Jiang Xiaomi stomped her foot in frustration, feeling really upset.
What the heck, was her performance really that bad?
Otherwise, why would even Liu Tiantian, the silly dolt, feel that something was off about her?
This won’t do, at this rate, let alone being Nan’s mistress, even mistress number four or five wouldn’t be in her reach!
Chen Nan, however, couldn’t care less about her. After finishing a phone call with the poison wolf, he glanced at the park that was nearly a ruin and turned towards the school.
"Hey, Dumbo, wait for me! Don’t think you can slip away on your own!" Su Qingqing quickly lunged forward, hurrying to catch up.
The group arrived at the school gate and ran into Zhu Bajie and Zhang Jiangyi. These two fools were previously drooling over a younger girl, but upon seeing Chen Nan, they immediately fawned over him.
"Big bro, are you and the sister-in-laws heading to school, huh?"
"Big brother is mighty and majestic!"
Hearing this, Liu Tiantian blinked her watery eyes and gave a cute smile, seemingly very pleased.
Jiang Xiaomi quickly put on a shy look and lowered her head, staying silent.
Only Su Qingqing, pouting her lips, pinched Chen Nan gently on his waist, thinking to herself: That stinky idiot must have taught them to say that.
Feeling Su Qingqing’s pinch, Chen Nan, who was initially quite pleased with himself, suddenly felt guilty.
He chuckled dryly, glaring at Zhu Bajie with a lecherous grin, "What nonsense are you spouting? Hurry up and eat your buns. Damn it, even Zhang Jiangyi, such a simple man, is being corrupted by you."
"Boss, this Jiang guy is inherently sleazy..." Zhu Bajie complained.
But Chen Nan completely ignored him. After waving goodbye to Jiang Xiaomi and Liu Tiantian, he went straight to the classroom with Su Qingqing.
After they reached their seats, unlike usual, Su Qingqing didn’t tease Chen Nan. Instead, she sat staring at the ceiling with her deep, black eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
"Girl, did you catch what Liu Tiantian and Little Jiang are carrying too? Why have you suddenly become so silly?" Chen Nan curiously stared at Su Qingqing’s profile and even waved a finger in front of her eyes.
Su Qingqing ignored him and continued to gaze blankly.
Chen Nan, thoroughly bored, since Su Qingqing wasn’t talking, just kept waving his finger back and forth.
After a full minute, Su Qingqing finally turned to look at him, her expression serious, "Dummy, do you think that arm of the ’Immortal Spirit Saintess’ I merged with is really useful?"
Chen Nan was startled, not expecting she was thinking about this. He shrugged humorously, "Of course it’s useful. Surely you don’t think I would lie to you?"
"But why is it that every time I need that mysterious power, I can’t seem to use it?"
Su Qingqing sighed deeply, a hint of self-reproach in her lowered head, "If only I had been able to use that power today, you wouldn’t have been threatened."
Chen Nan reached out and gently touched her head, feeling moved, "Silly girl, whether you have the Immortal Spirit Saintess’s power or not, I should be standing in front of you, protecting you."
Su Qingqing’s face brightened, and her heart immediately filled with joy.
However, she suddenly thought of something, and she glared at him with a displeased expression, "You said the same thing to Jiang Xiaomi, didn’t you?"
Chen Nan felt like he had walked into a trap.
At first, he was deeply moved by what she said, but who knew the girl would bring up Jiang Xiaomi just as the conversation turned. Hadn’t he learned his lesson about how fickle women could be? Now, mentioning that had tangled him up too, hadn’t it?
Oh, the consequences of a loose tongue.
Though he felt gloomy inside, Chen Nan’s expression remained unchanged, and he spoke earnestly, "What I have with her is just a brotherly bond. I see her as a little sister, but you are different."
At this point, Chen Nan paused.
But Su Qingqing’s eyes lit up as she waved a lobster claw, her face full of threatening curiosity as she asked, "Then what exactly is our relationship?"
Isn’t that obvious? It’s of course...
Seeing the girl’s shy but hopeful expression, Chen Nan really wanted to say: of course, it’s a husband and wife relationship.
But remembering he still had a junior sister, he could only suppress the urge and swallowed the words he was about to say.
As a result, when he remained silent, the Black Feathered Chicken couldn’t hold back any longer. It popped its head out and started clamoring as if to stir up trouble, "It’s obviously the relationship between an emperor and his concubine. Girl, if you don’t strive hard, someone else will take the queen’s throne. Don’t cry when that happens..."
Chen Nan promptly grabbed the chicken’s beak and fiercely shoved it back inside the desk, "Damn it, no one would think you’re mute if you kept quiet."
"Oh, oh, oh... I can’t stand it anymore. Today I must expose you, you scoundrel..."
Chen Nan again yanked the Black Feathered Chicken back inside the desk, "Damn it, am I more beastly than you, this chicken? Shut up, or I’ll smash you!"
"A licentious tyrant..."
The Black Feathered Chicken murmured under its breath and obediently retracted its neck, finally remaining silent.
Glancing at Chen Nan, Su Qingqing puffed up her cheeks and pointed at his nose, saying, "Stupid jerk, I guess I know what you are thinking now. Rascal, shameless, hmph!"
"This chicken’s integrity is shattered, why would you believe it!"
Chen Nan felt like crying but had no tears.
Su Qingqing, however, paid no heed to Chen Nan’s defense and began to contemplate.
If she could master the power of the Immortal Spirit Saintess, not only would she have been able to help the idiot today, but also prevent so many other things from happening afterward.
Jiang Xiaomi wouldn’t have had the chance to sacrifice herself for the idiot, and the idiot wouldn’t have promised to always protect her!
The Black Chicken was right; if she didn’t strive for it, would she just watch as other women took him away? No way, absolutely not!
