After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 422 - 420: Do you have any misunderstandings about me?
Chapter 422: Chapter 420: Do you have any misunderstandings about me?
Even Pei Huai was taken aback on the spot.
He subconsciously touched his cheek and heard Xia Wenyan say with extraordinary delight, aiming a taunt at Avril, "Even if Brother Pei and I don’t get married, we still have a bond stronger than gold, much better than some people who are always desperately trying to marry someone and still can’t find anyone to take them."
As he spoke, Xia Wenyan casually hooked Pei Huai’s arm and leaned on it very affectionately.
Pei Huai immediately realized Xia Wenyan’s intentions.
He was an actor himself, and an award-winning one at that, so how could he not play along with Xia Wenyan’s act?
The corners of Pei Huai’s mouth curled up slightly, and he raised his hand to gently pat Xia Wenyan’s hand, "Well, that’s just because she’s jealous I get to be with you. After all, she had her heart set on marrying you before, didn’t she?"
Avril, who was already concerned that Xia Wenyan’s baseless claims might affect her chances of marrying the man in front of her, exploded the moment she heard what Pei Huai said.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Avril glared at them both indignantly, asserting firmly, "I’ve never thought about marrying Xia Wenyan. Besides, with his unclear relationship with you, how could I possibly marry him?"
After saying that, Avril immediately tugged at Farhad beside her, "Darling, please don’t believe a word they say. They’re just jealous of our relationship and are trying to drive a wedge between us, to split us up!"
Farhad clearly believed Avril’s words.
He looked displeased at Pei Huai and Xia Wenyan, "I thought you two were Avril’s neighbors and friends, which is why I was nice to you. Since you are not, I advise you to leave now or you will face consequences that you cannot handle!"
"Oh, the mighty one," Xia Wenyan couldn’t help but roll his eyes. "What consequences could possibly befall me that I couldn’t handle? We’re in our own country, not your ZD nation. You should watch where you’re trying to flex your muscles!"
Xia Wenyan already disliked Avril.
He had followed her to the mall to see what kind of trouble she was stirring up again.
Who would have thought she was here on a date with another man?
If he had known, he wouldn’t have bothered following her since he found the man equally disagreeable.
Xia Wenyan rolled his eyes again, and thinking back on Farhad and Avril’s scornful looks towards him and Pei Huai, he couldn’t resist rolling his eyes at them in return.
Look down on someone, please—who hasn’t mastered that?
Hmph!
Farhad’s brow instantly furrowed in response to Xia Wenyan’s retort.
If not for the people above him insisting he pursue this woman in this country, why would he be interested in a woman like her?
In his ZD nation, didn’t he have his pick of any kind of woman he wanted?
Did he need to endure such mockery here for her sake?
In their country, they practiced polygamy, and wives were seen as possessions of their husbands.
If it weren’t for the fact that he’d have to settle in their nation after marriage, he couldn’t stand women like her.
Avril, clearly sensing Farhad’s upset mood, quickly stood in front of him, angrily addressing Xia Wenyan, "Xia Wenyan, don’t push your luck! You’re clearly bullying us because we’re foreigners! I’d like to see if you’d dare be so arrogant in ZD nation!"
She knew that Farhad had a significant background in ZD nation.
The first time Avril met Farhad, he pursued her relentlessly, and she too had worried whether his identity and background were fabricated. Thus, she had someone investigate, only then discovering that he indeed had an extraordinary background in his country.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have easily agreed to marry him.
But this damn Xia Wenyan just had to stir up trouble!
He just couldn’t stand to see her well off, getting married to someone so rich and powerful, couldn’t stand to see her outranking them.
The more Avril thought about it, the angrier she got. She glared viciously at Xia Wenyan, "If you have a problem with me, come at me directly. Farhad is just my boyfriend, don’t drag innocent people into this!"
"Are you misunderstanding something? From the beginning to the end, you’re the only one I’ve targeted. If he hadn’t been nosy standing beside you, would I have involved him?" Xia Wenyan couldn’t help but roll his eyes again.
He didn’t even leave Avril with an ounce of dignity.
Listening to their back and forth, Farhad also started to feel annoyed.
He looked displeasedly at Xia Wenyan, "Little brother, leave some room for maneuver. You’d best not anger me."
Upon hearing this, the corners of Xia Wenyan’s mouth involuntarily twitched. He’d been frightened since he was a child!
He’d seen plenty of his father Xia Nie’s tactics, which were even more ruthless than the international Mafia.
A mere foreigner from ZD country was not worth his concern.
Moreover, they were in his home country now—the foreigner’s reach was limited. What did he have to fear?
"Elder, you should also leave some room for maneuver and best not anger me." Xia Wenyan’s lips curled into a brilliant but insincere smile as he looked at Farhad.
Just as he wanted to boast a little more, he was restrained by Pei Huai, "Alright, the squabble’s been had, the jokes made, we have other more important matters to attend to, let’s not waste more time."
Pei Huai spoke in a light tone that seemed flat, but it still made Xia Wenyan feel a clear pressure.
He pursed his lips, looking at Pei Huai somewhat guiltily.
In his battle with Avril, he’d completely forgotten how he had used Pei Huai as a shield just moments ago. Brother Pei wasn’t angry, was he?
Thinking this, Xia Wenyan suddenly quieted down, "Brother Pei is right, let’s hurry back. There’s no need to waste time with certain people."
Avril was so angry she wanted to curse. Who was wasting whose time?
If those two hadn’t been following them around, would she have gotten angry?
Now that they had all been irritated, they had the gall to say that?
Avril was about to speak when she saw Xia Wenyan eagerly dragging Pei Huai away, and her frustration simmered inside her.
But she couldn’t show it in front of Farhad; she had to force a smile, trying hard not to explode with anger.
"Dear, let’s go too. We shouldn’t bother with that nutcase."
As she spoke, she tried to wrap her arm around Farhad’s, but he dodged her.
Avril was momentarily stunned, standing there dumbfounded as she watched Farhad.
Looking at her expression, Farhad’s brows furrowed slightly, but thinking of that person’s orders, he gritted his teeth and offered his arm, "Don’t associate with those kinds of people in the future, seriously bad luck."
He already found his interactions with Avril unpleasant, and yet he had to push himself to marry this woman and take her back to ZD country, or else that person wouldn’t let him return.
No matter how much Farhad disliked Avril, he had no choice but to continue appeasing her. Otherwise, if this woman wouldn’t marry him, his return to ZD country would be indefinitely postponed...
