Chapter 590 - 588: Better Looking Than Me?
Jiang Yixiu returned to his place, lay on the bed staring at the old ceiling, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He immediately sat up and took out his phone, "Hey! Old Xiao...""It’s me." Xiao Jinghuai’s voice was a bit low, as if he didn’t want to disturb anyone, "What’s up?"
"Have you met any strange people lately? Besides... that Yan Mingxiu of yours."
"Yes."
"Who?" Jiang Yixiu looked vigilant.
"You."
"..."
"Xiao Jinghuai, I’m seriously talking to you." Jiang Yixiu was almost bursting with anger, "Just came out from Dynasty, I ran into... a woman, that woman had a very special aura, my sixth sense tells me her identity is not that simple."
"Heh." There was a faint chuckle from the other end of the phone, "If you’re interested in her, just say it, why come up with such an excuse!"
"Hey! Of course not." Jiang Yixiu suddenly became a bit anxious, "How could I be interested in such a tomboyish woman."
Well, he admitted that the "tomboy" was indeed very beautiful, one of the few faces he found stunning.
The person on the other end of the phone remained silent for a while, Jiang Yixiu felt something was wrong and immediately restrained his joking manner, "Looks like someone special really appeared."
Xiao Jinghuai said, "He should be back."
"..." Jiang Yixiu instantly gripped his phone tightly, "Old Xiao, if you need help, just speak up."
"Heh, it’s fine, I’ll handle it."
"Hmm—"
Song Song saw Xiao Jinghuai hang up the phone with a serious expression, and moved a bit closer to him, "What did Jiang Yixiu say to you? You look like something big happened, what’s the matter?"
"Don’t worry, it’s nothing." Xiao Jinghuai tossed the phone aside and reached out to pull the woman into his arms, "He told me he met a very special woman today, I think he might be looking to fall in love."
"Pfft." Song Song inexplicably found it amusing, "Hope he falls in love with a very formidable woman, so she can give him a good lesson and prevent him from causing trouble in the future."
"What’s wrong, are you upset about today’s thing?" Xiao Jinghuai pinched her hand; her palm was not as soft as before, with a bit of roughness.
Song Song looked up and glanced at him, "If you were in my shoes, would you feel comfortable?"
"Heh, of course not." Xiao Jinghuai said frankly, "I might even feel like killing someone."
"Then why blame me?"
The man held the woman in his arms tighter, "Just stay in this room, don’t leave, okay?"
"No way!" Song Song urgently pushed him away, looking tense, "Are you trying to backtrack again?"
"No, I just..."
Before Xiao Jinghuai could explain, Song Song got up from the sofa, "I’m going back to my room, you rest up! By the way, your little uncle should be thirty-five now, right? Just five years away from forty, can’t always stay up late or you’ll really age."
Xiao Jinghuai: "..."
This girl disappeared from his life for four whole years, and after coming back, not only did her personality become assertive but her tongue became particularly sharp.
No beating around the bush.
Yet this change wasn’t because of him, but because of someone else. Just the thought of it made him very uncomfortable.
"Song Song—"
"Hey?"
"All three of your masters are men?" Xiao Jinghuai suddenly asked.
"Yes!" Song Song hadn’t noticed anything strange about the man and said with a smile, "All three of my masters are like gods, they are incredibly handsome, each with their own charm and style. When I first met them, I felt like living in a dream, because there couldn’t be such good-looking people in the mortal world."
Xiao Jinghuai’s eyes suddenly chilled, "Better looking than me?"
