After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 439 - 437: Better to Plague Her!
Chapter 439: Chapter 437: Better to Plague Her!
Her brow furrowed slightly. She had never imagined that Hao Jiayi would be categorized as "important" by Xia Wenqing.
Xu Zhenzhen felt a sourness in her chest, and for some reason, she felt a bit unhappy.
If Hao Jiayi genuinely needed legal consultation from Xia Wenqing and became his client, then him deeming her "important" wouldn’t be unacceptable...
Alright, it would be unacceptable!
She was super annoyed!
Xu Zhenzhen took a deep breath and decided she would express her dissatisfaction once Xia Wenqing finished talking.
That Hao Jiayi had always looked at Xia Wenqing with strange eyes, and now she was using such an excuse to get close to him—she definitely had no good intentions!
She was absolutely not going to stand by while someone else tried to steal him away!
Xia Wenqing glanced at Xu Zhenzhen and tapped her forehead, "Have you forgotten what you promised me before?"
"???"
What had she promised him?
Xu Zhenzhen’s mind started spinning rapidly, thinking about her arrangement with Hao Jiayi, wondering if there were any other related agreements.
But after thinking it over, she couldn’t remember any.
Her frown deepened, and she couldn’t help but glance at Xia Wenqing, trying to find a clue in his expression.
Unfortunately, she failed.
Xia Wenqing let out a long sigh, his gaze meeting Xu Zhenzhen’s with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "Some people, despite having previously promised to help when they’re unsure if the other person is a green tea b*tch, now seem to be feigning amnesia when I actually seek help, sigh..."
"!!!"
Xu Zhenzhen instantly understood.
Her petite frame tensed up, "Second Brother, that’s not what I meant. I didn’t catch on right away, but I’ll help, of course I’ll help! Don’t worry, I won’t let any of these little sirens get close to you!"
"Pu—"
Xia Wenqing couldn’t help but laugh at her address, "Am I Tang Seng? How do I attract sirens?"
Xu Zhenzhen pouted, "Second Brother, you attract far more sirens than Tang Seng does."
And all of them high-level sirens.
Liu Xiaozhen had already caused her to be away from Xia Wenqing for so long.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhenzhen felt uncomfortable.
Xia Wenqing, sensing Xu Zhenzhen’s upset demeanor, cautiously asked, "Zhenzhen, are you feeling unwell? Your complexion doesn’t look good..."
Xu Zhenzhen snapped back to reality, tugging at the corners of her slightly bitter mouth, "No, I just think Second Brother’s charm is too great. Last time you rejected her so clearly, yet she persists in pursuing you."
A complex expression flickered across Xia Wenqing’s eyes, his eyebrows raised slightly, "You make a good point. However, it seems... it wouldn’t be too difficult to extricate myself from the current situation."
His words trailed off suggestively, causing Xu Zhenzhen to sense something out of the ordinary.
She almost instinctively followed up on Xia Wenqing’s words, "Second Brother, do you have a way to get rid of them quickly?"
If there was a way to calm both Liu Xiaozhen and Hao Jiayi, she would actually be happy to see it happen. After all, without others harassing him, she could stay peacefully by Xia Wenqing’s side.
But... was there such a good method?
Xia Wenqing’s fist clenched slightly, feigning nonchalance as he spoke, "If I had a girlfriend, then naturally others wanting to get close would think twice. Don’t you agree?"
"..."
Agree what?!
If Xia Wenqing had someone, she would have no chance at all!
Xu Zhenzhen wanted to lie against her conscience for the first time and say no.
But this indeed seemed to be the best solution; if she proposed the opposite opinion now, Xia Wenqing would likely become even more suspicious.
Xu Zhenzhen was nearly sick of herself.
Xia Wenqing, sitting beside her and not receiving a reply from Xu Zhenzhen, turned his head to look at her with some confusion, then asked indifferently, "Do you think my idea is not that good?"
Xu Zhenzhen weighed her words for a moment before responding, "If it’s just for the sake of peace and quiet that you find a girlfriend, then that seems a bit too pitiful for the other person..."
Better to inconvenience herself than someone else!
Let her take the place, and set the other girls free!
If she could, Xu Zhenzhen wished she could shout this in front of Xia Wenqing.
But alas, she couldn’t.
Xia Wenqing suddenly chuckled, "If you think the other person would be pitiful... how about you help your second brother out?"
He spoke as if he were joking.
But the next second, he received Xu Zhenzhen’s reply, "Sure!"
"..."
For a moment, the atmosphere inside the car became deathly silent.
Xia Wenqing’s foot slammed on the brake, and the car came to a harsh stop by the roadside, eliciting a pronounced screech of the brakes.
Xu Zhenzhen was clearly startled by her own words as well.
It was after hearing Xia Wenqing’s words that she blurted out her response.
In truth, when she had spoken, she hadn’t expected Xia Wenqing’s reaction to be like this. She stiffly forced a smile and added, trying to recover, "Since I already said I would help my second brother, I’ve got to see it through to the end. Currently, I’m not seeing anyone, so if you think I’m not suitable, you might consider someone else..."
"No need for anyone else, just you," Xia Wenqing blurted out almost without thinking.
Actually, when Xu Zhenzhen said she would be his girlfriend, he was so taken aback that he hit the brakes.
He had uttered that sentence just to test the limits of Xu Zhenzhen’s feelings for him, to carefully plan his next move.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke those words, Xu Zhenzhen took her role seriously.
The shock surpassed his expectations and caught him completely off guard.
Just when he was about to feel elated, it turned out Xu Zhenzhen was doing this to help him.
This silly girl.
She thought she was helping someone, yet she didn’t realize she was stepping right into the trap he’d set for her.
While he despised himself for his shamelessness, he was also delighted that Xu Zhenzhen fell into the snare step by step.
As long as there was a title between them first, everything else would naturally follow in steps.
What he lacked was never patience.
Xu Zhenzhen’s cheeks turned crimson when Xia Wenqing spoke words akin to a confession.
She lowered her small head and couldn’t help but murmur, "Second brother, you shouldn’t talk like that to someone casually; it’s very easy to cause misunderstandings..."
"Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you from now on," Xia Wenqing said, watching her lower her head, unable to resist patting it gently, "So... does that mean from now on, to the outside world, you’re my girlfriend? Hmm?"
Xu Zhenzhen’s face reddened even more; she nodded lightly, "Mhm. Second brother, don’t worry, I will definitely uphold your honor in this role!"
"..."
Xia Wenqing suddenly felt a throbbing in his temples. He wasn’t in need of any honor—he wished he could give it all to her.
If she were willing, he wanted to be dishonorable with her...
