After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 1178: Chapter 1182: I Don’t Want Him to Get Jealous and Beat Me Up

”Cough!” Xu Xia choked on a sip of juice, immediately breaking into a violent cough.

Leng Zirui smiled faintly, ”I just mentioned someone wants to be my wife, never said it was you. Why so excited?!”

”You... cough...” Xu Xia had words but couldn’t speak them, just glaring at him while coughing.

”Is it true or not?!” Huangfu Ruo asked Xu Xia curiously.

It took a while for Xu Xia to stop coughing. She glanced at Leng Zirui and nodded earnestly, ”It’s true, but as far as I can see, that gentleman seems more like he’s preparing to marry him as his wife!”

She had planned to cease fire with him temporarily, but Leng Zirui intentionally provoked her, so she didn’t hold back.

”Ha!” Huangfu Ruo laughed out loud, ”Brother Zirui, when are you planning to come out?!”

”Xu Xia, that’s where you’re wrong!” Leng Zirui glanced at her chest, ”Even if someone’s feminine features aren’t obvious, you can’t just say they’re a man, can you?”

”That’s true, some people may look like men, but they are no longer men.” Xu Xia retorted sharply.

Leng Zirui was about to say more, but sensing Leng Lin’s gaze, he shrugged, ”A real man doesn’t fight with a woman.”

As he spoke, he raised his hand to grab the dish in front of him.

Xu Xia reached her chopsticks and picked the shrimp he intended to take, not forgetting to give him a provocative look.

Leng Zirui gently tapped her elbow, catching her off guard, and the shrimp dropped from her chopsticks onto his extended plate.

Retracting the plate, Leng Zirui smiled and said, ”Thanks!”

Xu Xia reached her chopsticks to snatch it, but Leng Zirui grabbed the shrimp with his hand and tossed it into his mouth.

Watching the shrimp-snatching battle between the two, everyone had a look of confusion in their eyes.

What’s going on with these two?!

They used to be together but weren’t this confrontational. Now, why do they start bickering as soon as they meet?!

Even Leng Zimo looked inquisitively at Luo Xiaoqian, but Luo Xiaoqian just shook her head with a smile, signaling him not to mind.

With Xu Xia and Leng Zirui, these two jokesters bantering, the dinner was filled with endless laughter.

Everyone chatted while eating, and unknowingly, it was past nine in the evening.

Huangfu Ruo’s family, along with Tong Ya and Shen Yizhou, successively got up to bid farewell, and Jiao Yang also stood up.

”The meal today was sumptuous, thank you for the hospitality. I have work tomorrow, so I’ll head off first.”

Throughout this meal, he was probably the quietest one.

The food Leng Zimo prepared was delicious, but he didn’t eat much, focusing more on the family of three, watching as Leng Zimo peeled shrimp and served dishes for Luo Xiaoqian attentively, as she naturally accepted this care.

Leng Zimo and Luo Xiaoqian personally escorted him to the door.

”See you later.”

Waving to the two, he turned to descend the steps.

Under the light, the man’s silhouette appeared lonely as he stepped towards where his car was parked, and suddenly, Luo Xiaoqian hurried two steps, sprinting down the steps.

”Jiao Yang!”

Jiao Yang stopped and turned around.

Luo Xiaoqian looked at his face, stepped forward, and reached out to embrace him.

”Thank you, Jiao Yang, thank you!”

Jiao Yang’s arms instinctively rose, then forcibly retracted. He softly sniffed the fragrance in her hair, and with a smile, said, ”Your man is watching, I don’t want him getting jealous and beating me up.”

Luo Xiaoqian laughed lightly through her tears in his arms and slowly released her hold, ”I believe you’ll find a girl better than me.”
