”…” Xia Yuqing and Yun Xi: We didn't say you were crying, but now you just revealed what you were trying to hide. Your IQ is a bit worrying.
Wu Jun, completely unaware that he had lost face, turned his head to Su Qingyan and asked: ”Second brother, I think they are really pitiful. I want them to stay in the stronghold for a few days, I don't know if you …”
It… it has appeared! The bandit wife slash loyal dog! Knowing that she was out of harm now, when Xia Yuqing heard the question from Wu Jun, her eyes lit up as she looked at the two in dispute.
Su Qingyan laughed angrily: ”You have already promised them and now you come to ask me what to do?” He snorted and turned away.
Wu Jun didn't understand how he had angered Su Qingyan again. He wanted to follow him but remembered that Xia Yuqing was still there. So he stayed and said embarra.s.sed ”Second brother is like that. Although his words aren't nice, he's not bad. Don't put his words to heart.”
”No, it was because we came out of the blue. Thank you for taking care of us. How should I call this big brother?” Xia Yuqing glanced at Su Qingyan who was far away. Waahh, this family's Uke is even more unyielding and proud than the one at her home! This bandit also isn't really smart. At that time, he should have caught up with him and desperately explained everything. Then…….. then….. well the explanation is all just a cover up, pressing him down is the real reason!
Wu Jun completely didn't know that he had been roasted thousands of times in someone's heart. Hearing Xia Yuqing ask his name, he was a little embarra.s.sed and said, ”Hey, my name is Wu Jun. If you don't mind, you can just call me Big Brother Wu.”
”Okay, Brother Wu.” Yun Xi nodded and called Wu Jun. He sighed with relief, knowing that he had just escaped his calamity. The corners of his lips were slightly hooked. When he turned around wanting to look at Xia Yuqing, he saw that she was also looking at him, except those eyes that trusted him looked a bit inquisitive at this moment.
Yun Xi was shocked and secretly grieved, it's all over. He has been exposed. How can he explain it later?!!
Because of the touching love story of Xia Yuqing and Yun Xi in addition to the fact that Xia Yuqing was pregnant, the people in the stronghold took care of them, especially Xia Yuqing. The only thing was that they only allocated one room for the two. To call it in a glorified way: so he can take care of the mother and child.
Saying farewell to the overly enthusiastic rough guys, as soon as the door was closed, Xia Yuqing flew over and overwhelmed Yun Xi. She squinted slightly: ”Speak, why lie to me?”
”I didn't lie to you. I really ran out of a big family, but I am just a daughter and not a son.” Yun Xi was pinched by her collar and grumbled a bit aggrieved. ”I didn't even lie to you. When did I say that I was a man? ”*
* used him and he just to keep it a secret if you hadn't guessed it previously
”So, this is my fault?”
Yunxi heard the dangerous tone in Xia Yuqing's words. She shook her head and sighed charmingly, ”Yes, yes, I was wrong. I was wrong.”
Xia Yuqing gave her a glance before she got up from on top of her. Yun Xi quickly got up as well and said, ”Okay, I did say some lies. I didn't actually run out to play but because of cough, what you talked about earlier about the forced marriage.”
”Forced marriage?” Xia Yuqing suddenly hearing that word again asked curiously.
”Well, my family is very big, rich, and powerful. But my father…. but my father only has me, his only daughter, thus he treasures me a lot. But for some reason, my father wants me to marry a …” Thinking to this point, Yun Xi gritted her teeth.
”What's wrong? Is he ugly?” Xia Yuqing asked tentatively.
Yun Xi shook her head: ”On the contrary, that person looks too beautiful! He is more beautiful than a woman. If a man grew up like that, then he's basically a sissy. This lady here hates sissy's the most in her life!”
”…” Xia Yuqing glanced at Yun Xi. For the first time in her life, she discovered that it was a sin to be too beautiful!!
”You don't like beautiful men, do you like ugly men?”
”It doesn't matter if he's ugly. The most important thing is to be brave and heroic! At least he can't be a sissy. For me to feel secure, I need a real man. In fact, this lady's ambition is to capture the world's best men. ”
”…..”
Isn't this a story with 3,000 beauties in the harem? Isn't this a feudal patriarchal society? Can a woman say such a domineering thing like trying to catch the best men in the world?
Xia Yuqing held her head that was dishevelled by the speech. Yun Xi coughed a little and was a bit embarra.s.sed: ”As for the rest, they are all true. I was kidnapped, but I only stayed in that group for half a month. Thus, my female ident.i.ty wasn't revealed. If it weren't for today's accident, I wouldn't say… ”
”What? If you say that you're a girl, they might just let you out.”
Yun Xi looked back at Xia Yuqing with a complex look, hesitating a bit: ”Are you usually so naive?”
”Naive?” Xia Yuqing's face displeased, ”Of course not.”
Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief and just when she wanted to speak, she heard Xia Yuqing add a sentence: ”I'm usually innocent.”
”…” Well, you're amazing! I was defeated by your innocence!
Looking at the appearance of Yunxi petrified, Xia Yuqing's lips slightly dipped downwards. ”You haven't answered me yet. Why don't you want to let people know that you are a girl?”
”Nonsense, at a glance, I can tell you haven't walked around in Jiang Wu. Girls can be in Jiang Wu, but if they are exposed, their reputation is harmed or they would be conspired against. It would be terrible. Also, if those people knew that I was a girl, they might have feelings towards the fairer s.e.x. Who knows if they would have killed me or done what to me.
Xia Yuqing nodded, seemingly understandable. After a while, she reacted with some dissatisfaction and murmured, ”Saying I didn't walk around in Jiang Wu then can it be that you little fart has walked around in Jiang Wu?”
”I … Of course … Of course, I have a bit. Don't look at me like that, I'm a veteran …”
”Veteran who jumped into the fire pit as soon as he came out?”
