Chapter 2261: Chapter 2263: Gu Linxi vs. Cui Jiangjing
Huo Xiahe chuckled with a smile, “I don’t want those things! I can buy what I want myself, why waste such a precious opportunity having you buy it for me.”
Cui Jiangjing wasn’t used to dealing with kids, and didn’t know how to take care of them either. He pressed his thin lips together and looked at her, “Then what do you want?”
“I want…” Huo Xiahe suddenly stared at him intently, her bright and intelligent eyes almost speaking the word ‘you’.
If it were another woman, she might have understood what she meant.
But Mr. Cui, having gone through countless flings without a mark, simply regarded Huo Xiahe as a sister from abroad, despite passersby being able to tell what the girl meant.
“What do you want?”
“Pfft~” Huo Xiahe laughed out loud, pointing at him with a finger, looking utterly amused, “Why have you bee so serious suddenly, it’s too funny.”
Cui Jiangjing, “…”
When it came to women other than Gu Linxi, his patience was actually limited. In the past, Huo Xiahe was the type he liked: beautiful, with a good figure, interesting, cute, and their families were trying to match them up. He might have had the patience to try things out with her, and who knows, maybe feelings could have developed. But after knowing what it felt like to genuinely like someone, he lost interest in such things.
All the shallow ‘likes’ that he once thought were interesting became boring.
No matter how beautiful, fun, or lively a girl appeared before him, he had no interest in getting involved, he even found it annoying.
It seemed as if beauty or lack thereof meant nothing to him anymore. Whether pretty or not, what did it have to do with him?
“Think about it first, and let me know once you decide. I have something else to do, so I’ll be leaving. Text me once you’ve made up your mind.”
Huo Xiahe saw that he was about to leave and bit her lip, grabbing onto his clothes, “Wait a moment.”
“?” Cui Jiangjing turned back, suppressing his irritation, “What, have you already decided?”
Huo Xiahe, not being blind, could see his indifference towards her. Her initial expectations and confidence were doused with cold water. She forced a smile, “Yeah, I’ve decided. I want you to have a meal with me and your girlfriend.”
What kind of request is that?
Without thinking, Cui Jiangjing refused, “Pick another. She doesn’t like to interact with strangers.”
Huo Xiahe argued, both jealous and aggrieved, “I’m your sister, not a stranger. You said yourself you’d agree to any lawful request. Now I’ve made my request and you’re refusing, that’s playing dirty! You’re a grown man and promised me you’d grant a wish if I got into Briton University, you acknowledged it, and now you want to go back on your word, that’s too much!”
On this matter, he still had no intention of relenting, “No way, she doesn’t like interacting with people she doesn’t know. If you want to eat, I’ll take you wherever you want, but not this.”
Huo Xiahe insisted, “I just want to have a meal with my future sister-in-law, see what she looks like, and get to know her in advance. Are you afraid I’ll bully her?”
Hearing this, Cui Jiangjing couldn’t help but recall how that little woman handled Shen Yu at the police station, and he inexplicably smiled, with a bright demeanor and eyes sparkling, “You couldn’t bully her, it’d be good enough if she doesn’t bully you.”
“…”
Watching his gentle and focused expression, Huo Xiahe felt a sour pain in her chest.
What the heck, she already found out before ing that his girlfriend was just a mechanic. How could he talk like she was omnipotent?
