150 Twitching Together (2/2)

”That's your problem,” Ye Shuang happily said on the phone. ”Perhaps you can create a reason that he had to bring his partner to the ball. Like, you said you're going to bring some important document to the ball, the one that he wouldn't want to miss out on. Finally, some people tell them what a good pair they are, and then another group of people tell the girl that Alexander is pursuing two girls at the same time. That'll definitely create some misunderstanding.”

”Honey, you're so naughty,” Anthony praised.

”…Tony, you don't really understand the meaning of the term 'you're so naughty' in Chinese, do you?”

”Is it not what it means‽” Anthony gasped before sighing. ”Your language culture is very weird. No wonder when I sent Han off at the airport, his face was also very ugly.”

”What did you say?”

”I said, 'Say hi to your mother for me.'”

Ye Shuang's brow twitched. You're lucky Han Chu didn't kick you at the time.

”By the way, I've been meaning to ask, don't you feel bad for cheating your ex-boyfriend?” Anthony asked.

”You've said it yourself, ex-boyfriend. Furthermore, have I really cheated?” Ye Shuang explained, ”I've always believed the ex is either a stranger or an enemy. Those staying as friends probably still have feelings for each other! After all, when you put yourself out there, you gotta know how to play the game.”

This time, it was Anthony's turn to twitch. Thankfully, you've only had one boyfriend, or else you'd get beaten up… No wait! A normal man wouldn't be able to beat her!

After her chat with Anthony, Ye Shuang put on her watch again. If she did not leave immediately, Xu Jian would think she was constipated. That would not be good for her image, so she went out to deal with the man again.

Then, she came up with some excuses, saying she might have other things to do on the day of the ball, and it was something that she could not miss. Even though Xu Jian felt like it was a shame, he did not force it.

When they parted, Xu Jian asked with a sigh, ”You still don't need me to drive you home?”

The woman said that she did not want others to have some misunderstanding, and Ye Shuang did not want to expose her current address.

She had used many different excuses before, so Ye Shuang came up with a new one. ”I still need to go to the university to fetch my brother… You know, Xiao Feng.”

Xu Jian was speechless. Last time when he asked Ye Shuang out for dinner during the weekend, Ye Feng was in attendance as well. His expression toward him during the dinner was not friendly but not hostile either.

Xu Jian now thought he had the ability to look down on others, and he respected Ye Shuang because she was a woman and had the talent, but the way Little Brother Ye, the wild child, treated him made him uncomfortable. Xu Jian, who was no longer a shy university student, had forgotten how to mingle with normal people. Even though he missed that period of his life, he actually would not be able to survive returning to it. He could not suffer others being rude to him.

For example, Xu Jian used to go out with Little Brother Ye and his dormitory friends. They could make deprecating jokes between one another, but if someone dared to make fun of Xu Jian now, there would be hell to pay! When he was young, Xu Jian thought that was games between friends, but now he thought it was signs of disrespect and barbarity.

Ye Shuang laughed meaningfully.

Xu Jian was shocked and immediately removed the expression of disgust on his face. He quickly explained, ”Xiao Shuang, don't misunderstand. I was just worried about Xiao Feng's future. With his current personality, he will step on other people's toes easily when he enters the society. Just think back to our previous dinner…”

Ye Shuang laughed again, and Xu Jian's remaining words were swallowed back down. Ye Shuang's rude laughs made him feel slightly awkward. Then again, he looked at Ye Shuang's face and then thought back to her identity and family background.

Xu Jian adjusted himself and soon recovered. ”So be it, if you're not happy, we shall not talk about it. Then I'll drive you to Xiao Feng's school.”
