239 The Troublesome Iron Winged Panther (1/2)
Jun Mo Xie laughed out loud, and crossed his legs. He swayed for a while, and said, ”May I know which of your sisters is so deeply attached to me? Ha ha… I'm one of the most bitterly detested individuals of the Tian Xiang City. In fact, I fear that eight-of-ten people would agree with this statement. But someone being 'deeply attached' to me… this is the first time I've heard something like this… I'm quite interested in knowing people with such discerning eyesight.”
Dugu Xiao Yi nervously looked at Sun Xiao Mei upon hearing this; her eyes seemed to be praying for her friend's silence.
”I talk of a person who used to be far away; beyond the horizon…” Sun Xiao Mei smiled mysteriously as she ignored Dugu Xiao Yi's impleading glance, ”but has appeared right under your nose now! Young Master Jun, you have even exchanged a token of affection with her! And yet you're confused?”
”Exchanged a token of affection?” Jun Mo Xie was aghast with shock. Then, he immediately recalled when Dugu Xiao Yi had given him her jade pendant. [Could it be that… oh god…]
The Young Master Jun turned sharply to look at the shy and timid Dugu Xiao Yi. Her small head was facing downwards, and was withdrawn into her collar. It seemed that she wouldn't lift it up again; come what may…
Jun Mo Xie sighed deeply. What doubt would remain after taking all this into account…
He hadn't expected that this silly-little-girl would try to approach a marriage in such a dubious manner… The thought of this depressed him a little. However, he also felt a little proud of himself for reasons unknown — the 'original' Jun Mo Xie was regarded a scum, and a bully by everyone. Therefore, it was only natural that no one would form a favorable impression of him. On the other hand, the Hitman had only arrived in this world a very short while ago. However, he had already gotten a beautiful woman to fall for him. In fact, the seeds of affection had been rooted so deeply that she was already trying to set up their marriage… he naturally couldn't help but feel a bit proud of himself…
Dugu Xiao Yi started becoming increasingly bashful; so much so that her mind turned a bit hazy… [sister Sun is being so straightforward and loud about this. I could almost die of embarrassment…]
Sun Xiao Mei was paying attention to every subtle change in Jun Mo Xie's expression. Finally she spoke, ”Now I understand. My younger sister — who detests and hates you to her bone — is reasonable in doing so since her opinion of you is justifiable. As for the opinion of my other younger sister — it seems that her affection for you may not be without reason either…”
”Miss Sun, this discussion has been awfully puzzling… I find myself in a state of complete confusion.” Jun Mo Xie made a dispirited gesture with his hands, ”I still haven't been able to understand your intention…”
”You don't understand… that's good too! It would be quite unfortunate if you were clearly able to comprehend everything.” Sun Xiao Mei smiled faintly. She then unexpectedly looked at him in a pensive manner, ”Third Young Master, you're not a good man; or at least not what they call an 'upright gentleman'! In fact, I'm still quite curious to know how many people you actually deem important.”
The Hitman was terrified! He suddenly raised his head, and asked in a serious tone, ”What did you say?”
Had he underestimated this woman…
”Arrogance! Disdain for all under heaven! This prominence of this character trait can be clearly gleaned from your eyes! Perhaps your eyes appear serene and calm to most people; so much so that you may be considered cool-headed and peaceful. However, they constantly reveal your arrogance in reality. In fact, your efforts to conceal it are useless in front of someone who understands this!”
Sun Xiao Mei smiled gently, ”Now I'll tell you this… as a customary gift for our first meeting, okay? — It will bode well to rein-in your arrogance and act amicably; no matter how much money you have, or how arrogant you are… After all, now is not the time for you to be so hubristic.”
She smiled sweetly after saying this. She then stood up and went over to Dugu Xiao Yi, and started caressing her beautiful hair as she warmly addressed her, ”Little sister, your way of looking at things is good, but it's such a pity…”
”But what's a pity? Sister Sun?” Dugu Xiao Yi's face couldn't hold that bashful shade as she anxiously asked.
”It is such a pity that you're still very young.” Sun Xiao Mei replied with a smile. Her heart wanted to say more, but she suppressed those words nonetheless: [Such a man cannot be tamed by any woman. You will taste a lot of bitterness for this in the future, little sister…]
[This woman is very difficult to deal with], Jun Mo Xie's heart shivered with cold, [she can perceive even the minutest of changes, almost as if she has a sixth sense. Otherwise she would've never been able to recognize the pride I conceal…]
[Surprisingly, this woman is quite talented.] Jun Mo Xie pondered for a while, and then smiled as a devilish thought suddenly came to his mind. [If she marries Tang Yuan… wouldn't I also gain a capable helper?]
Sun Xiao Mei finished speaking, and went over to Tang Yuan. Then, she suddenly kicked his plump buttocks: ”Stop playing dead! Quickly get up and follow me to my house. My father wishes to meet you!”
Tang Yuan jumped up wailing, and started massaging his posterior as he chided her angrily, ”Crazy woman! Don't come near me! Who'd want to return home with you!? Whatever… just leave me alone!”
Sun Xiao Mei's face was blank as she suddenly reached out and tightly grabbed Tang Yuan's big-and-fleshy ear. Then, she forcefully dragged him by it and took him outside. Tang Yuan's initial curses later turned to pleas for mercy; his beseeching continued to remain audible inside restaurant until they had gone so far that he couldn't be heard anymore.
At present, the only ones remaining in the hall were the Hitman — Jun Mo Xie — who was busy contemplating, and Dugu Xiao Yi — who still sitting giddy and red faced.
Dugu Xiao Yi's embarrassment was clearly visible on her face. She's had always considered that woman to be quite clever. It was difficult for her to fathom why her elder sister would betray her like this since Sun Xiao Mei clearly knew about her feelings towards the man; [Speaking of it so bluntly in front of Jun Mo Xie was like leaving me to die of embarrassment…]
