Dong Huiying didn’t pay him any further attention, instead, she poked at the fire, making it burn even more fiercely.
Doctor Xiao let out a piercing scream.
Dong Huiying, suspicious, "What’s wrong?"
"In, in front, in front——" he stammered, looking ahead.
Mountain winds howled fiercely, and the forest shadows flickered. A cold and upright figure stood in the midst of the woods.
Doctor Xiao’s courage shrunk. He bit his lip, scared to death.
Dong Huiying was also a bit stunned; it was late at night, and the sky had darkened when suddenly, a figure emerged in the woods, which was frightful to glance at.
But then she paused, suddenly startled.
Hm, this shadow looked somewhat familiar.
The shadow took long strides, bringing with him an aura of somber low pressure as he walked out of the woods. The moonlight fell upon the figure, his hair cut short and thin, lightly tousled by the night breeze.
Dong Huiying’s eyelid twitched, "Liang Yuening?"
Doctor Xiao was also taken aback but then calmed down immediately. Well, although Liang Xiaowu wore a cold expression and looked quite frightening, it was at least a living person, not a ghost, and that was okay.
Yue Ning approached Dong Huiying with a dark expression, his eyes full of anger. "Why are you with him?" He glared at Doctor Xiao, then his gaze returned to Dong Huiying’s face.
"A chance encounter?"
"Ha, a chance encounter? Do you think I’m an idiot?" He raised his voice in frustration, "Dong Dabao, you already have six of us as your unmarried husbands, isn’t that enough? Aren’t you satisfied? To actually flirt with others, Doctor Xiao is a respectable man, and I won’t let you seduce him!"
"Are you out of your mind?"
"How am I seducing him? You and I are only nominally fiancés, mind you. Even if I didn’t have any romantic feelings for Doctor Xiao, what if I actually did? Can you control me?"
She simply couldn’t communicate properly with this person. Every time, she either ended up furious because of him, or he raged indiscriminately. She thought they must be natural enemies, contradicting in every possible way.
Yue Ning was choked up for a moment. Yes, she was right, but... he just felt incredibly annoyed!
"Cough cough, Yue Ning?" Doctor Xiao coughed awkwardly, stealing glances at Liang Yuening. "Miss Dong and I aren’t in that kind of relationship, plus as a widower, how could I possibly dare to aspire?"
He seemed to remember something, and his face suddenly fell, before he mustered spirit again. "Earlier on the mountain, I encountered Miss Dong. I had injured my arm and also hurt my foot. It was Miss Dong who saved me."
Doctor Xiao might be a bit naive, but he was essentially elegant and refined.
Before meeting the Liang Family Brothers, he often suffered from people’s scrutiny due to his tall stature and robust frame compared to other, more delicate men. He was not spared from criticism in his early years. However, after settling down in Kaoshan Village and encountering the Liang brothers, who were all over one meter eighty in height, he found companions in misfortune and admired the personalities of the Liang brothers. Therefore, he grew quite close to the Liang family.
Yue Ning, with an icy face, nodded at Doctor Xiao. "Doctor Xiao."
Doctor Xiao thought to himself, in the past, the Marriage Contractor of the Liang family was infamously troublesome, and he had always avoided Dong Dabao. But the Miss Dong before him didn’t seem at all like the unsavory rumors suggested. Yet, he also knew about the many conflicts within the Liang family.
Regardless, since Miss Xiao Dong would inevitably become the wife of one of the Liang family members, it wouldn’t be good for things to become too tense, would it?
