Chapter 474: Xiao Jinghuai, let go!
Originally, Song Song was indeed not very interested, but he quickly piqued her curiosity.She had a feeling this seemed to be a long story...
Xiao Jinghuai felt her body relax a bit, not as tense as before, so he boldly held her tighter from behind, resting his chin directly on her slender shoulder, "Want to hear me tell a story?"
"...Mm."
Song Song pouted slightly in acknowledgment.
"What are you doing! Don’t rest on my shoulder, it hurts."
Xiao Jinghuai refused to leave, acting childishly to insist, "It should hurt, so you’ll remember, you’re always my woman!"
— My woman!
He had never told her this before, at least not in her memory.
Though his words were domineering, they made her heart feel tender and warm.
She struggled a bit, "I—I want to hear the story, why did Uncle do that?"
Xiao Jinghuai chuckled, "The answer is quite obvious because he’s not really my uncle. When I was thirteen years old, Grandpa brought home a child from outside, saying he wanted to adopt him. At that time, he was the emperor in the Xiao Family, no one dared to say no, whatever he said was the decree."
"That child is now my uncle, Xiao Jiuru."
Song Song was puzzled, "According to you, Uncle should be very grateful to your family, so why did he turn against you?"
Xiao Jinghuai’s gaze deepened, "Because he later believed that the person who caused the death of his parents and made him an orphan was Grandpa, so... he always wanted revenge."
"What’s the truth? Is it really the case?" Song Song didn’t expect this reason.
"Not sure," Xiao Jinghuai pursed his thin lips and said helplessly, "Grandpa doesn’t want to talk about it."
Song Song noticed a loophole, "Since Grandpa Xiao doesn’t want to talk about it, how did Uncle find out?"
"Do you think... someone might have stirred things up between them?"
Xiao Jinghuai hadn’t expected the little girl to think so deep, "There is such a possibility, but every time I asked him, he refused to reveal who told him."
Song Song smacked her lips, "So mysterious! The more mysterious, the more likely there’s something fishy."
"Maybe," Xiao Jinghuai said meaningfully.
"Who was the person who went to the Xiao Family last time? The one who looked like a bandit, so unlikable—"
Song Song clearly remembered that person, especially the gold chain around his neck, which made him look more like someone from the underworld.
"That was the great-grandson of Di Xing, the old man we went to see last time."
"..."
Song Song couldn’t recall for a moment, only after a while did she remember there was such an old man who called her "Little Liuli" the moment they met.
Turned out the bandit-like man was his great-grandson, really doesn’t seem like it.
Xiao Jinghuai continued, "Previously, I had some conflicts with him, so this time he teamed up with Xiao Jiuru to try to take me down. Actually, things aren’t that complex, just that simple."
He deliberately summed it up briefly, though those who understood the situation knew how thrilling the time had been.
However, he didn’t plan to elaborate to her.
Song Song roughly understood, "Then they must be furious now?"
Xiao Jinghuai saw her biting her lip trying not to laugh, and couldn’t help feeling a little stirred, "So... you should know how hard I’ve worked during this time, right?"
Song Song could clearly feel the man’s calloused hand skillfully slipping under her clothes from the hem, slowly moving upwards...
"Xiao Jinghuai, what do you want to do? Let go!"
As soon as she spoke, Song Song startled herself; her voice was incredibly soft, like it didn’t really mean to reject, more like inviting—
The man asked from behind, "Is there anything else you want to ask? Better ask all at once to prevent any future quarrels with me."
Of course, Song Song had things she wanted to ask, like about Bao Bei, about Qiao Yu, about how he turned defeat into victory this time...
So many, too many things.
But her mind was too chaotic at the moment, a little disoriented.
Just then, the man said from behind, "We haven’t tried by the window yet..."
Song Song’s heart jumped, could he possibly want to do it right now...
"Mmph!" The man suddenly answered his own question, "Seems like aside from the bed and the bathroom, nowhere else..."
Song Song couldn’t take it anymore, exerting all her strength to escape from his side before her body could turn too soft, she said breathlessly, "Xiao Jinghuai, don’t think you can gloss over things with a few words as if nothing happened?"
"Even if you did it for my safety by deliberately sending me away, it also reflects the issues between us."
"Not just that, also Qiao Yu, also Bao Bei, these are all..."
"So, you should go back! My decision will not change!"
Xiao Jinghuai didn’t expect her to be so determined this time, admiring her straightforward character, he said with a smile, "Alright, but it’s too late today, so I’ll stay here for the night, is that okay?"
Song Song, always soft-hearted, "...Alright, you can stay in the guest room for one night, but you must leave tomorrow."
Xiao Jinghuai stepped forward, and when Song Song tried to resist, he held her shoulders, bending down to try and kiss her—
Song Song timely dodged, their lips missed each other, his kiss landed on her cheek.
Xiao Jinghuai’s smile became even more charming, he whispered in her ear, "Goodnight."
Song Song felt a tingling from her ears down to half her neck. After the man left the room, she immediately deflated and ran to the bed, throwing herself onto it, pulling the covers over her face in frustration, "Song Song, have some dignity, will you?"
"Don’t listen to him, don’t listen..."
Thinking this, Song Song suddenly sat up from the bed, didn’t Brother say there were roses?
Where are the flowers!
She didn’t see even half a bloom!
Damn Xiao Jinghuai, bastard!
The poor pillow on the bed was hammered by her half the night before she could catch her breath.
...
At the same time, in Qingcheng City, Di Shiyi was taking a stack of materials to the head of the Di Family, "Mr. Di."
As he approached, his knees were suddenly struck hard by Mr. Di’s cane.
Di Shiyi, caught off guard, almost knelt, but fortunately, as a young man with a strong physique, he quickly stabilized...
Mr. Di snorted through his nose, "I heard you suffered another defeat with Xiao Jinghuai?"
This matter, better left unsaid. Mentioning it made Di Shiyi feel uncomfortable all over. How could he have anticipated Xiao Jinghuai being so cunning, even deceiving his own wife!
That bastard Xiao Jiuru was confident that Xiao Jinghuai wouldn’t keep anything from his wife because he couldn’t bear for her to worry!
In hindsight, it all turned out to be nonsense.
Thinking of himself as a promising figure, Di Shiyi hadn’t expected to be defeated twice by the same man.
"Grandpa Zeng, rest assured, I will not let Xiao Jinghuai off!"
Di Xing made a motion to strike again, "Utter nonsense! You’re no match for him, stop disgracing the Di Family!"
Di Shiyi was frustrated, yes! In his eyes, only Big Brother Di Wujiang was competent enough in the entire Di Family.
Regrettably, his high-minded elder brother wasn’t interested in the Di Family, preferring to stay in the mountains.
Di Xing calmed down and asked, "Did you find any leads on the person I asked you to find last time?"
Di Shiyi said, "Yes."
And handed over a photo and some documents to Di Xing, "This is Little Liuli’s daughter—"
