Chapter 1973 - Is Sister-in-law Something You Can Address Her with? (2/2)

Han Zhuoling: “…”

He didn’t feel that his age was a problem before.

He was in his prime, and he even thought of himself as still young!

But after meeting Shi Xiaoya, he’d already started feeling he was old even before they got together.

Every time he saw Shi Xiaoya, he felt she was so energetic, oozing youthfulness from inside out.

He would wish he was younger by a few years.

And now, Qi Chengzhi’s words pierced his heart.

Because the group wasn’t big, Shi Xiaoya didn’t need to agree before she was added into the chat.

Thus, her phone wasn’t with her.

Shi Xiaoya kept grasping blindly for her phone.

Han Zhuoling quickly stilled her movements. “What are you moving about for?”

If she wriggled any more than this, he wouldn’t be able to control himself for sure.

“I’m finding my phone,” Shi Xiaoya said. “You added me to the group, so I’ve got to say my hellos or they’ll think I’m rude.”

Han Zhuoling’s arms circled around her, his lips quirking upwards while his eyes flashed cunningly.

He then stuffed his phone into her hands. “Using mine’s the same.”

“Alright.” Shi Xiaoya didn’t think much; she wasn’t as crafty as Han Zhuoling.

Completely unaware of his plan, she took his phone and keyed in: “Hello, everyone, I’m Shi Xiaoya!”

And added a sentence immediately after: “I don’t think he’s much older than me, his age’s just perfect.”

Shi Xiaoya typed intently with her head bent, missing how warmth had flooded Han Zhuoling’s eyes as he watched her key those two sentences.

He couldn’t suppress himself.

This girl, claiming she wanted to introduce herself yet, in reality, just wanted to stand up for him.

Han Zhuoling never thought there’d come a day when he’d be defended by this girl.
