Stubborn Love of a Roguish Scion

Upon looking past her shoulders, she saw Xu Xu standing a short distance away, staring with a complicated expression between her and the flowers in her hands that she pushed back into Sun You’s arms.

Xu Xu’s eyes darkened as he stared closely at Ye Erruo as though he had caught the two of them committing adultery.

“N-No. It’s not what you think.” She shoved the flowers into the other guy’s arms and shook her hands and head frantically at him. Alas, it only made her appear guiltier than ever about being caught red-handed.

His gaze then landed on the bunch of flowers in the young chap’s arms, and the complicated look in his eyes intensified even more.

She glanced at Sun You before hastily snatching the flowers back from him.

“Is this a yes?” His eyes sparkled with hope as he gazed fixedly at the woman before him.

Countless images and scenes instantly played in the other man’s mind. Sis-in-law has taken a fancy to some young chap and is wooing him with flowers behind Boss’s back, yet that chap still dared accept her pursuit? They must really have a death wish.

Her brows formed a tight line as she stared at the flowers in her hands. She then returned them to Sun You again before turning around and walking in Xu Xu’s direction.

“Sis-in-law.”

Staring at him, she said, “Don’t let your imagination run wild and don’t tell Mo Jiangye anything.”

The man felt conflicted. She has indeed committed evil sins behind Boss’s back.

“Sis-in-law, you mustn’t do anything to let Boss down or make him angry. He’s terrifying when he flares up, and you won’t be able to handle the aftermath.” He gave her a grave warning.

She shot him a warning look in return and said solemnly, “Exactly, so you’re not allowed to tell him anything. I didn’t do anything to let him down, so just forget what you just saw.”

With a straight face, he replied, “I’m sorry, sis-in-law, but I’ll definitely tell Boss about this.”

Her beautiful, big eyes widened as she reminded him, “He’s terrifying when he flares up.”

Looking righteous, he advised her, “Things will be fine after you apologize to Boss. I’m sure he’ll forgive you if you tell him that you won’t meet this lad ever again.”

“…”

Upon saying that, he turned his head away and left.

“Sigh… Hey, Xu Xu.” With a backhand, she grabbed hold of his arm.

“W-What are you doing?” Startled, he jumped away from her and evaded her hands dramatically.

Her lips twitched. “Don’t tell Mo Jiangye.”

Mo Jiangye is bound to get upset if Xu Xu tattletales on me and things will get blown up. Sheesh, this misunderstanding can completely be avoided, but he just has to overthink things.

Sun You then walked over. “What’s wrong with telling him? Ruoruo, you don’t have to be afraid.”

The man used this opportunity to flee from her, running in the direction of his chief.

With her lips pursed, she told Sun You solemnly, “I hope you won’t come to disturb my life again.”

Then, she hastily chased after Xu Xu. Gosh, I’m dead.

Sun You stared at his crush’s departing figure forlornly as the flowers in his hands drooped and fell to the ground. She claims to be married and says she doesn’t want me disturbing her life, but is that possible? No, it’s impossible! I don’t believe she’s married!

Xu Xu, Zheng Yi, and Wang Yiyang cast looks of sympathy in Ye Erruo’s direction when she came running back to the original spot of their campfire. Beside them was Mo Jiangye, whose jacket had been stripped off and was hanging on a nearby branch. His white shirt, pair of black boots, and black belt highlighted his extraordinary coldness and aloofness. His head was dipped as he polished his gun, so his handsome features were somewhat hidden. As the fire crackled, the fragrance of roasted meat wafted in the air.

“It smells good. Is it fully cooked?” She approached him with feigned calmness and ease and rubbed herself against him when she reached his side.

“I’m cold, hubby.”
