Chapter 127 A Quarrel (1/2)

Shen Xinglan came back during the night and it was already noon the next day when he landed.

”Weren't you coming back tomorrow?” A Miao got a fright when she heard the sound of the door.

He walked in with a straight face and sat on the sofa without saying a word.

”Is the business not done?” A Miao took off her apron. She was learning to make cupcakes and her hands were covered with flour.

Shen Xinglan gave her a quick glance. ”Who are you making the cupcakes for?”

”...” A Miao frowned. ”For us!”

She and Shen Xinglan both liked sweets, although he would never admit it.

”Where were you yesterday?” he suddenly asked.

A Miao's pupil suddenly dilated. ”What do you mean?”

”Why didn't you tell me you were going to Jiang Hua's house, and why did you have dinner with him?” Shen Xinglan stared at her with gloomy eyes.

A Miao recalled the scene when they met for the first time. This was the way that he was looking at her then. It made her feel wronged and angry.

”I had dinner with a friend, so what's up? I went to his house to study, so what?” A Miao fought back with a straight face.

Shen Xinglan grabbed her by the hand and said, ”You are my woman. You should let me know where you go.”

”Let go!” A Miao struggled for a bit, but the strength of Shen Xinglan was too great for her to break free. ”Ouch...” A Miao was motionless and looked at him without blinking.

Shen Xinglan was surprised and hurriedly let go of her.

”A Miao.” He stretched out his hand to hug her, but A Miao pushed him aside and stood up and ran off.

Shen Xinglan blocked her at the door, picked her up, and went to the bedroom.

”You let me go! Let me go!” A Miao hit him. ”I can't afford to be provoked by you, you arrogant and selfish lunatic, can I still hide?”

”A Miao...” He pressed her down on the bed, and their four eyes were opposite each other.

The regret and fear in his eyes shocked A Miao. She murmured, ”What's wrong with you...”

”I'm sorry.” Shen Xinglan placed his wrist beside her lips and kissed the mark that he had just left on them. ”I'm afraid that you will be with Jiang Hua.”

”He is my teacher, friend, and elder,” said A Miao, turning over with a contemptuous look.

”But he likes you.” Shen Xinglan said, ”You can go with him at any time.”

”Why should I go with him?” A Miao shot him a glare. ”He likes me, but he never has any bad thoughts.”

Shen Xinglan had a straight face as he bowed his heads and silently rubbed her wrist, and A Miao spoke with a sigh.

”Shen Xinglan, am I so untrustworthy?”

She pushed him aside and sat up and looked at him seriously. ”I admit it, I didn't handle this well. Because Shanshan wanted to go to Jiang Hua's house and have him teach her some lessons, I was not at ease, so I went along.”

”Did Shanshan also go?” Shen Xinglan scowled. He got the news clearly only about A Miao herself, and...

”Why aren't you rest assured?” The ink in his eyes was a bit thick again.

A Miao rubbed her temples. ”I didn't know that she was temporarily unavailable until I arrived. As for why I do not rest assured...”

She hesitated, and Shen Xinglan's face became cold again. She had to say, ”Since she was locked in the beauty salon last time, my feelings about Shanshan has been very strange.

”Originally, I didn't want to tell you because she is an irreplaceable sister to you. I also want to be as kind to her as you are. But I'm sorry, I can't.”

A Miao jumped out of bed. ”I can't say she has a problem, but I don't believe her either. If you can't accept it, then you can choose to stay with her.”

”In the same way, I also want to ask about it.” The silent Shen Xinglan finally spoke.

A Miao found that he seemed to be losing his cool again. His eyes could not show his anger. She could not help but take two steps back. ”You... you ask...”

”I just don't deserve your trust?” Shen Xinglan walked over to her step by step. ”You suspect Shanshan, why didn't you tell me? You don't trust her to go to Jiang Hua's house. Why didn't you tell me?”

”I...”

”Do you think I would stand by Shanshan, do you think I would not believe you?”

He had cornered her and raised his hand.

”No.” A Miao thought he was going to hit her, so she covered her face quickly. Who knew that a pair of hands would gently raise her head and his gentle voice would sound in her ear?

”Fool!” Shen Xinglan held her in his arms. ”Why didn't you tell me? Why did you worry about it?”

A Miao's eyes were glazed for an instant. When her chin was lifted by him and she looked into his eyes, her tears fell down again.

”I'm sorry...” she sobbed, ”I didn't mean to hide it from you.”

Shen Xinglan kissed her on the eyelids. ”It's me who should say I'm sorry, and it's me who didn't think about how you feel. And also... I just hurt you, too.”

A Miao looked at him with red eyes. ”Aren't you... aren't you angry?”

”I'm not angry if you're not angry with me.”

”Poof...” He made A Miao smile.

Shen Xinglan hugged her tightly again. ”I promise that there will be no next time. Will you tell me whether you go to see Jiang Hua or have dinner with others?”

”Mmm.” A Miao nodded in his arms. ”Then you can't be cruel to me.”
