Ex-Girlfriend Blackens Every Day: Chapter 65
ARC 3: YOUNG MASTER'S EX-GIRLFRIEND (14)
He had a good dream.
In his dazed state, the young master could sense that someone was touching his face.
Then, his ears were twisted hard.
"Ow!"
The sleeping kitten suddenly woke up.
He stared at the troublemaker but still wasn't able to react.
So cute.
"I'm hungry. Go make something."
Linlang rolled up the paper book and thwacked his forehead.
"Oh-oh," he said this several times. After jumping to his feet, he secretly looked behind him.
Linlang was leaning on one side with her slender legs folded at random. She was resting her book of poems against she lightly pressed the poems against her delicate chin. She was looking at him with a smile.
Wh-why does she always happen to be looking at him?
His ears suddenly flushed red. With his back facing her, he shyly picked out a pair of long trousers and a long-sleeved shirt from the closet to cover himself up.
Like a little wife, the little wolf dog turned his head and looked at her before lowering his head in a shy manner. Then, he scampered into the kitchen with small steps.
Linlang wondered if he was trying to develop from a "tsundere1 young master" to an "understandng wife and loving mother"?
While the young master was washing the dishes, he giggled foolishly as he thought about what happened last night.
A cell phone rang from the living room.
He immediately ran over, but just when he was about to deliver it to Linlang, he caught a glance of the contact name.
Master Xue.
Xue Shao connected the call with a deadpan expression.
"Why didn't you come last night?"
A somewhat lonesome voice carried over from the other end of the phone.
"I waited for you for a long time. There were fireworks, but unfortunately, you didn't get to see them."
"Is that so? What a shame."
The young master's mouth twitched slightly.
The caller fell silent for a moment.
"Xue Shao, you're back."
The person he thought would never return has appeared.
"Thanks to my brother, I'm still alive."
I didn't die. Are you happy?
As soon as Xue Shao returned, he asked Hua Shao to find out who schemed against him. After exhausting all the leads, it turned out that there were loose indications that the Xue family had a hand in this matter; more specifically, his brother.
Linlang said that Xue Shen liked Zhang Mengmeng. He used to believe that, but when he saw the man kiss her with his own eyes, he had a foreboding feeling. One can't really hide other feelings for someone. If words don't reveal it, then your micro-expressions will inadvertently show it.
Xue Shao felt that his brother must have deceived Linlang. He may have said they were acting as lovers, but he could have been planning to act out a play then abduct his younger brother's wife.
What if he really died abroad? Wouldn't he have succeeded?
Just thinking about this made him feel distressed for his wife.
It was bad enough that she had such an unbearable family, but because of him, she has to suffer hardships. Now she's being eyed by some other wolf.
It was his fault. He didn't do a good job protecting her.
But it's fine now. Since he's back, he will never let her suffer any harm!
"What's wrong? Who's calling?" Linlang came out and asked. "No one. It's just a wrong number."
He downplayed the situation as he swiftly deleted the call log and blocked Xue Shen's number.
While the young master was doing bad things, he smiled brightly at her without a guilty conscience. "You can watch TV. Dinner will be ready soon."
For several days, neither of them went out.
Linlang really served this needy little wolf dog.
Sometimes he would entangle her and kick up a fuss the entire day.
If she doesn't let him hug or raise her up, he's unhappy, as in very unhappy.
So, she ended up doing whatever he wanted.
Linlang has woken up in the middle of the night to the scene of a head sneaking its way into her bed. Is he trying to be a ghost?
When she couldn't stand it anymore, she simply kicked him away.
The young master would behave himself for a while. But when morning arrived, he began a new round of coquettish behavior. His eyes would balance tears and twist his mouth in a pout. He was really trying to wear her down.
However, Linlang was in dire need of some fresh air, so she proposed they go buy groceries together.
Unhappiness was written all over the little wolf dog's face. No-no-no-no-no. No one else can see his wifey.
It was only after a lot of gentle coaxing on Linlang's part that he reluctantly agreed.
Linlang didn't bother to move her fingers. She let the young master help put on her coat and lead her downstairs. This was the VIP treatment.
Normally, he was very obedient. If she points to the east, he will never go to the west.
But there were times he was very stubborn.
"Little Xue, I want to eat mapo tofu!" Linlang patted his face vigorously.
He shook his head. "I said that's not an option."
"Why? You don't know how to make it? What a big dummy."
She curled her lips into an expression of disgust.
The young master peeked around and made sure that no one was passing by before he whispered, "Your period's almost here. Spicy food isn't good for your body. Give it up for now."
Having heard this, the empress dowager glanced at him and sneered. "I don't know who's been wrapped around me enjoying his dessert all day and all night without worrying about getting cavities. Why don't you 'give it up for now'?"
"*Cough*——"
He covered his mouth with his fist and coughed violently to cover up his blushing cheeks.
"Let's talk about these things at home, okay?"
The young master wanted to drag her away from the scene, but she wouldn't budge.
"No, the first thing you'll do when we get home is to slam the door and grab my hair. Then you'll give me that evil smile and call me a little fairy..."
Young Master: "..."
Nonsense!
Slander!
That's your script！I've never done such a thing!
The corner of his mouth twitched. He asked in a low voice, "Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
"No!"
Linlang grinned and grabbed his hand, "Or you can feel my heart and feel how healthy it is. How could it hurt?"
His morally upright hand landed on her shoulder.
She feels soft and warm, just like cotton.
The young master's face flushed immediately.
"You just touched my shoulder, and you're blushing?" Linlang asked with a smile, "Why are you acting like a little girl?"
He was stammering, but no words came out.
Seeing her playful gaze, the young master felt provoked. His courage swelled up and steeled himself to reach out.
But then, his hand stopped in mid-air.
An old man who was walking by kept glancing their way until he finally just shook his head.
That look in his eyes was saying, 'You beast'.
Young Master: "..."
Uncle, you misunderstood. This young lady is the beast!
He just wanted to teach her a "moral lesson"!
But he didn't dare to say that out loud, so he meekly led her to the counter to pay.
———
Bang!
The door was slammed shut.
Grinning evilly, Linlang propped up his chin with a pale finger. "Peevish little fairy, give your master a smile."
The young master turned his face away and spoke shyly, "Minister, please act with decorum. This gentleman sells his talents, not his body!"
He cooperated with Linlang and decently performed orchid shaped fingers before running off2, letting her tease him until he had to run away in a flurry of tears. The person on the street leaned against the car and gazed indifferently at the figures through the window. He could vaguely hear peals of laughter from the pair chasing one another.
The glowing cigar burned to his fingertips before he flicked to the ground and crushed it under his leather shoes.
Huh, it turns out he worried for nothing.
He thought Xue Shao would settle the score with her once he returned. He even thought to protect her but didn't expect her to be more capable than he imagined. She managed to coax the ferocious wolf into a tizzy and indulged in a happy domestic scene.
Oh, Xue Shen, you should have known she was the most deceptive person. The same person who called them a match made in heaven can be unscrupulous and affectionate with another in the blink of an eye.
Why did you fall for her nonsense?
Why did you lose your common sense for her?
The current him feels so unfamiliar.
Chiding himself, he pulled out the red box from his pocket to stare at it. Then suddenly, he flung it away.
Pa——
The glimmer of a ring rolled into the darkness.
A gloom descended in his eyes.
———
One day, Xue Shao was the first to wake up.
He carefully pulled his arm from under her and covered her with the blanket. Half of her face had sunk into the soft pillow. Long hair cascaded down, and her beautiful appearance was like fresh gardenias.
The young master kissed her forehead piously.
Good morning, my empress dowager.
He first went to prepare breakfast. After writing a note to remind her to eat, he went to take a shower then changed into formal clothes for going out.
He looked quite dashing in the white suit.
The man smiled slightly at the face in the mirror.
He smiled slightly at the face in the mirror.
A Hongmen banquet3? He's looking forward to it.
Xue Shen asked him to meet at a western restaurant. There were still fifteen minutes before the agreed time, but Xue Shan could already see he was there.
The man wore a dark purple suit that exuded elegance and noble temperament. He glanced indifferently at the guest then made a motion for him to sit.
The two men ordered separately. After the waiter took their menus away, Xue Shen casually brought up the topic. "Why did you return from abroad?"
The young master showed his white teeth in a bright smile that contrasted his dark tone. "Someone wanted to stab me in the back, but it's a shame I didn't die, so I flew back. Why, doesn't Brother welcome me?"
The man chuckled softly. He didn't conceal the truth.
"Of course, I don't welcome you. I was eagerly hoping for you to die out there and never come back."
Xue Shao's expression didn't change at all. "Then I must have really disappointed Brother," he said with a smile.
"I'm not the only one. Someone else was also disappointed."
"Oh?"
Xue Shen smiled deepened. "It's your wife, Xu Linlang."
The young master's expression hardened, and his gaze turned frigid.
"Don't forget, you made a wager on her feelings. Women can hold a grudge.
"She hates you, don't you know?
"That's why she provoked your relationship with your parents and made you leave the Xue family.
"Tsk, to think a wealthy young master was reduced to becoming a waiter.
"But she still couldn't let go and swindled you into going to a foreign country—"
Bang!
He swung a fist at him.
Screams sounded from everywhere.
"Say one more malicious word about her and believe it or not..."
I will make you regret coming into this world.
The youth smiled grimly, and the curl of his red lips resembled a deadly poppy.
He looked down on the unconscious man lying on the ground.
Hah, lightweight.
