Chapter 171 I Saw Her Naked (1/2)

Xin Qing watched as the man helped Zhang Mi to the couch.

”She's had too much to drink. I'm just bringing her back!” the man explained courteously. He seemed like a European. Frowning, Xin Qing thanked him. ”Thank you, and sorry for troubling you. Are you a student at the academy?”

”Well, technically, you're my junior.” The man smiled. ”I'm Meyer's classmate. You can call me Anthony.”

”Ah! Is that so?” Xin Qing felt relieved. ”Then, thank you so much, senior.”

Anthony waved her off. ”Take care of her, then. I'll be heading off first.” He stopped suddenly when he reached the doorway. ”I feel obliged to tell you that I've accepted a job position in Meyer's studio. I've also found out that you're the real boss,” Anthony said sheepishly.

”Oh, that's great! Welcome aboard!” Xin Qing believed that anyone Meyer picked would be exceptionally skilled. Plus, he was a student of the academy, so he was definitely more guileless compared to other designers out there who were already working in society.

Anthony rubbed his head shyly. ”I'll be going first, then!”

When Xin Qing returned, Zhang Mi was yawning on the couch.

”Why did you pretend to be drunk?” Xin Qing glared at her disdainfully. This girl could go toe to toe with Young Master Shen. No normal person could drink her under the table that easily.

Zhang Mi stretched out her body on the couch. ”What do you think of this Anthony guy?” she asked, smiling strangely.

”So that's the senior you were talking about?” Xin Qing seemed a little surprised. ”Are you serious about him?”

Zhang Mi nodded. ”Of course, I am! I'm already 22, and yet I don't have any dating experience at all. For once, I want to experience the wonders of a torrid and passionate relationship!” she said, striking a pose by holding her hands to her heart in an impersonation of the infamous Xizi. Xin Qing responded by pouring cold water on Zhang Mi's enthusiasm. ”Your grandfather will never allow you to marry a foreigner. I suggest you drop the idea!”

”Hah!” Zhang Mi said, touching Xin Qing's head. ”Big sis, I was only talking about dating. When did I say anything about marriage? And for the love of God, you're an international celebrity. Why are you still so uptight? If I were like you, I'd probably end up crying and chasing after that animal Shen.”

Xin Qing recalled the time when Zhang Mi aborted that child and was hit by a feeling of regret. ”Are you really not going to consider Young Master Shen at all?”

”Stop right there! What are you even saying?” Zhang Mi gestured with a hand. ”Tell me something, are you really willing to marry a guy like him? He sleeps with a different woman every day, and he treats practically every woman kindly. Who would even want a husband like that?”

”Maybe he'll change for the better after he's married?” Xin Qing came to Young Master Shen's defense.

”Hah!” Zhang Mi rolled her eyes. ”Have you ever seen a wolf grazing on grass? Do dogs ever stop eating their poop?”

Zhang Mi sighed and stared at Xin Qing helplessly. ”You really think I never tried considering him? He's the first man I ever had, after all. But no. I just can't do it. I can't tolerate cheating and infidelity. If a man can't even stay loyal to you, then you can forget all this talk about loving you and whatnot...”

Xin Qing gave up right then; she herself had very little faith in Young Master Shen, to be honest. Everyone had different worldviews and ways of living, after all. They were better off as friends!

Zhang Mi had made it clear that she intended to date Anthony. Xin Qing had no idea how Zhang Mi had pulled it off, but Anthony would come over to their place for lunch whenever Zhang Mi had no afternoon classes. Meyer dropped by on several occasions to keep her abreast with any developments on his new firm. During the weekend, Meyer had finally decided on the physical address of his firm and had wanted to check out the site together with Xin Qing. Xin Qing and Meyer were just about to leave the house when they saw a car parked at the roadside. A black man got down from the car and opened the door. Xunxun stepped out of the car.

”Are you guys going out?” Although the little boy was not wearing Caesar Academy's uniform, he still looked like a pretty boy! Zhang Mi was practically drooling when she saw him. In Zhang Mi's own words: ”Xunxun is just like one of those young lords portrayed in Japanese mangas. He could bring out the sexiness in any clothing. Too bad this lord has such a high IQ, so no teasing or flirting would work on him at all!”

”Brother Xunxun!” Ah Sha ran towards Xunxun, her tiny legs swinging with her strides. When she got near, Ah Sha hugged the pretty boy's thigh and climbed her way up his body onto his chest. Xunxun quickly reached out his hands to hold her against his body. Ah Sha planted a kiss on his cheek with a loud smack while Zhang Mi watched in envy.

Ah Sha liked Xunxun very much, probably because Xunxun was her first ever playmate. Xunxun would go to the kindergarten to visit Ah Sha at noon pretty much every day. Ah Sha would then proudly show him off to her friends: ”Look at me, I have a brother and you guys don't.”

”Mommy! Can Ah Sha and Brother Xunxun stay at home to play?”

”Of course you can!” Smiling, Xin Qing patted Xunxun's head. ”Then please look after Ah Sha!”

”It's much less of a hassle to look after Ah Sha than to look after my mommy,” Xunxun said with a straight face. After that, he ignored them and carried Ah Sha indoors. Soon, the front door slammed shut with a bang.

Zhang Mi clawed her chest and bellowed, ”Argh!!!! I want to give birth to a pretty boy like that in the future!”

Xin Qing sighed. ”Yeah, if only your intelligence isn't your Archilles' heel...”

When they came home that night, Xin Qing noticed a strange tint on Xunxun's face.

”Xunxun, are you unwell?” She touched the boy's forehead, though she found his body temperature to be normal.

Xunxun took a step back and then bowed. ”Aunt Qing, I'll take full responsibility. I'll marry Ah Sha when I grow up!”

Pfft...

Zhang Mi and Xin Qing nearly spit out their saliva.

”Pretty boy, why do you want to marry Ah Sha? Did you do something you shouldn't while we're not here, hm?” Zhang Mi teased.

Xunxun turned beet red. Then he pointed at Ah Sha, who was sitting on the couch, munching on chocolate. ”She changed her clothes.”

”Mmhm. And then what?” The two adults stared at him.
