No way, right?
Xiyan’s expression imdiately changed.
The next second, the sound of a cat owing echoed.
"Ah, maybe the bathroom window wasn’t closed properly, and a stray cat nearby snuck in!" Xiyan kept her composure on the surface, smiling as she clung onto Ou Jue’s arm. "Let’s go quickly."
Luckily, Ou Jue didn’t say anything further, only giving Xiyan a aningful glance.
After stepping out of the house, Xiyan secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Ou Jue drove toward the nearby forest park.
On the way, Xiyan secretly sent a text to Zeyu: We’ve already left, you can get out on your own, haha.
Mu Zeyu: I just ca to drop off a contract and pick up the gift I left at your place. What did I do wrong...
Ah, Xiyan felt terribly guilty and quickly replied: Sorry, sorry! I’m really just afraid he’d overthink it. How about I treat you to sothing to make up for it next ti, okay?
Mu Zeyu: Xiyan, it seems... you really care about him?
What the heck!!
Xiyan froze for a mont and then instantly bristled with indignation.
That’s so not it—she’s just scared that the Demon King Ou Jue would tear her house apart!
With Ou Jue’s demonic tendencies, it’s not impossible!
Just as Xiyan was about to type out a response to Mu Zeyu, the next second, Ou Jue slamd on the brakes.
The sports car ca to an abrupt stop.
Xiyan’s whole body lurched forward, and she quickly looked up in fright.
What’s going on? What’s happening?
Ou Jue turned his handso face sideways, the sharp lines of his features laced with an intense frost. "Xia Xiyan, if you’re so desperate to chat with soone else, then get out of the car and chat!"
"..." What’s with the yelling?
Anyway, now that Mu Zeyu had already left, Xiyan wasn’t afraid of Ou Jue anymore. She pretended to want to get out of the car. "Fine, I’ll go back."
The next second, Ou Jue spoke again, this ti with a threatening tone. "I dare you to try getting out!"
"..." Xiyan was speechless.
So, does this demon want her to get out of the car or not?
What kind of ridiculous tantrum is he throwing now...
Sitting in the back in the child seat, Luoluo blinked his pitch-black, sparkling eyes and softly bit on his sleeve before saying in a tender voice, "Big Sis, is the person you’re chatting with more important than Luoluo and Brother?"
Xiyan quickly shook her head. "No, of course not..."
"Then why has Big Sis been looking down at her phone since earlier and hasn’t been paying attention to us at all?"
Xiyan froze.
She glanced at Ou Jue out of the corner of her eye, and suddenly, a bold thought popped into her mind...
Could it be that Ou Jue was unhappy because she kept playing on her phone and ignoring him?
Wait, no way, not him... That’s Ou Jue we’re talking about...!!
"Alright, alright, I’ll stop texting now." Xiyan stuffed her phone into her bag.
*——*——*
Since it was the weekend, the park was quite crowded today.
There were several residential communities nearby, and the current season was sunny and pleasant. Many parents had brought their children out to play in the park.
Ou Jue and Xiyan, with Luoluo in tow, strolled along the winding paths of the forest park.
Uh... why does this feel like a picture-perfect family of three going on a spring outing?
Xiyan cleared her throat awkwardly.
Ou Xiaoluo was having the ti of his life. Initially, he had been walking in a rather restrained "hobbling" manner, but now, he had completely let loose.
Breaking free from both Xiyan’s and Ou Jue’s hands, he darted ahead with wild abandon.
"Huh?" Xiyan was stunned for a mont and turned to look at the demon young master. "Didn’t you say Luoluo’s old injury had flared up again?"
