Chapter 284 – Satisfy Both Sides (1/2)

Lin Xiao gulped and thought he was hearing things as he stiffened up.

He had already been frightened enough times today, so he didn’t want to get anymore stomachaches.

Elena already left him, if ShenDai Ying also came to stab at his heart, he didn’t think his heart could take it and will explode any second.

But who could he blame? Wasn’t it all his own fault?

This was probably the price he had to pay for being greedy, his indecision doesn’t just affect others, but also trapped him without any way out.

For the first time, Lin Xiao suddenly realized that he was doing something really bad, letting someone down and tormenting himself… was he a two-timing scumbag?

Strange, he never would have thought he would do something like that!

For all this time, Lin Xiao saw himself as a pure virgin boy. Of course, after being single for so long, how could he become a scummy playboy? But now, he started to look at himself again and realized he was doing something unbelievable.

For the first time, he realized that he may have been too greedy.

“Hey Lin Xiao, why aren’t you saying anything? Was that a difficult question for you?”

ShenDai Ying pouted but still continued with her graceful dancing. Her entire mind was concentrated on this dishonest greedy scum before her as she forced him to answer.

“Um… Sister Ying, killing Caesar doesn’t seem like a good idea, right? I-I know you’re joking, please don’t tease me like that.” Lin Xiao tried to brush it away, but it didn’t work.

“Joking? No way! Although I wont actually kill Caesar, but… okay, let me rephrase that.” ShenDai Ying unhappily glared at Lin Xiao then asked again, “Lin Xiao, if the engagement didn’t exist, would you be willing to marry me right now?”

“I-I still don’t understand…”

“Are you still playing dumb? Okay, let me put it another way… Lin Xiao, between me and Elena, who do you like more!?”

“…”

Hearing that question, Lin Xiao’s heart jumped.

Over, it was all over.

It really was the worst day of his life! Why was everything trying to go for his life?

First, it was Elena, now it’s ShenDai Ying. An originally happy dance, became an interrogation for a heartless man.

Elena and ShenDai Ying, who did he like more?

If it wasn’t for ShenDai Ying mentioning it, then Lin Xiao might have never had to think about this question.

But even if he did think about it, he couldn’t answer.

Because it was a question without an answer.

Before asking which one he liked better, the prerequisite was for him to like both of them, right? If that’s the case, how could he have a clear answer?

ShenDai Ying was the first person he fell in love with, and Elena was someone he desired to have stay by his side.

Why did he have to choose between the two?

Lin Xiao naturally knew how naive his way of thinking was, and how greedy he was being, but that was his honest thought. Even if it was a mistake that had to be corrected, he couldn’t get a new answer that quickly.

So muddling his way through it was his only choice, just like with Elena.

“Sister Ying, you’re drunk.”

Lin Xiao said so as he saw how flushed her cheeks were.

Unlike him, ShenDai Ying was actually drunk, her nerves became strangely excited under the influence of alcohol. The only reason it hasn’t affected her dancing was because she was professionally trained. She could even carry out an assassination in high-heels, so a little alcohol wouldn’t affect her balance.

“Is that so? Hehe, Lin Xiao, don’t try to change the subject! I know you’re one cunning brat, if it wasn’t for me watching you, you would have already ran off with that maid, right!?”

“Sister Ying, it’s not like that, you’re mistaken, we were just… sigh, Sister Ying, you’re actually drunk.”

“Hmph, no I’m not! Even if I was, my eyes aren’t wrong!” ShenDai Ying spoke as she laid her head against his chest. It seemed like she was getting tired and her head was getting heavy from the alcohol, she also had to slow her pace to focus on their conversation, “I saw everything, how you were feeding Elena, protecting her, and getting angry…”

“Sister Ying?”

Lin Xiao fell silent as he listened to her muttering, he didn’t know what else to say.

“Lin Xiao, did you know? I’m really envious of her! Why isn’t that person me? I don’t understand, why do I have to wear these damn clothes, and stand here for everyone to look at? I’m just dancing with the man I like, why is everyone so surprised? Can I not choose how to live my life?”

Feeling Lin Xiao’s body temperature and the faint smell of his sweat comforted ShenDai Ying. She closed her eyes and didn’t dance because of the expectations of other people and just stood there, silently enjoying that brief warmth.
