Chapter 219 (2/2)

In truth, Lu Xiaoqing was the main recipient of his words. After all, he had not seen her in a longer amount of time compared to Gong Qinyin. On top of that, he felt some sort of resentment, as Gong Qinyin hadn't been completely honest to him during their trip to the Flame Mountain. Right after he spoke, a figure pounced into his arms and hugged him tightly.

Xiang Shaoyun was stunned. He had not expected Lu Xiaoqing to bravely hug him in public like this.

There goes my chast.i.ty! Xiang Shaoyun grumbled inwardly.

If others heard what he was thinking, they would definitely think that this fellow was asking for a beating! Look at him complaining even after benefiting! For some reason, Gong Qinyin felt sour when she saw the scene. She couldn't help but to look away from them.

As for Xia Liuhui, his eyes were wet as he was so touched by the scene that he was crying. He knew clearly how Lu Xiaoqing had felt during the past year. Finally, her wait was over.

Xiang Shaoyun felt that it would be rude to push her away so he could only say, ”Lu Xiaoqing, calm down! There's still a lot of people here!”

He knew how thin-skinned Lu Xiaoqing was. Those words would be enough to make her let go of him. But he had guessed wrongly this time. Instead of letting go, Lu Xiaoqing started hugging him even tighter than before. She even started sobbing.

”Why are you crying, Lu Xiaoqing? Who bullied you? Tell me. I will beat him up so badly his mom won't recognize him anymore!” said Xiang Shaoyun as he patted Lu Xiaoqing's back. Her sobbing had caused his heart to go gentle.

”You are the bully! You are the bully!” Lu Xiaoqing replied in between sobs.

Xiang Shaoyun replied awkwardly, ”Cough, cough, I still need to make a living with my face, but fine, I'll allow you to hit my face as punishment.”

Lu Xiaoqing pushed Xiang Shaoyun away and said, ”Bah, shameless!”

Looking at the tears on Lu Xiaoqing's cheeks, Xiang Shaoyun felt his heart aching. He raised his hand and gently wiped her tears. ”Don't cry anymore, girl. If you keep crying, you won't be pretty anymore.”

The gentleness deeply touched something in Lu Xiaoqing's heart and caused her to hug him and start crying again. This time, she was crying because she was moved. That was the first time he had ever been so gentle with her. Had he accepted her finally?

”Alright, a lot of people are looking at us. Let's find a place to sit down and properly catch up,” said Gong Qinyin, who couldn't keep watching their intimate interactions any longer.

Like a startled rabbit, Lu Xiaoqing quickly bounced off Xiang Shaoyun with a blushed face.

”Boss, you can chat with my sister-in-law and Senior Sister Gong. I'll go get myself treated with Senior Brother w.a.n.g,” said Xia Liuhui tactfully before dragging w.a.n.g Zhenchuan away.

Holy s.h.i.+t, it seems like Senior Sister Gong is interested in boss as well! The heavens are unjust! Boss is only slightly more handsome than me, why is the difference so big? Xia Liuhui howled inwardly.

”The two of you know this place better so just take me on a stroll, then,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a shrug.

”Everywhere you go you will be attracting everyone's attention. Just come to my place. We can have more peace there,” suggested Gong Qinyin. In truth, she should have left and allowed Xiang Shaoyun and Lu Xiaoqing some time alone as well, but she was obviously not willing to do so.

”That's not proper, right? Shaoyun is not an inner disciple,” said Lu Xiaoqing.

”It doesn't matter. n.o.body will dare to say anything if I only want to bring one person,” said Gong Qinyin. With her new status, she had grown much more confident as well.

”That's not necessary. We can just talk at a restaurant,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
