Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 659: Chapter 672: He Doesn’t Reject Me?

Xiao Xiao reached out and pushed away the head that had leaned in, pouting.

”Come on, you can see it too. When the two of us are together, we can’t go three sentences without arguing. Honestly, there are many times I really don’t want to argue with him, but when I see him like that and hear his words, I just can’t help it.”

”If you can’t help it, then don’t. I find the way you two argue back and forth quite amusing.” An Ran patted Xiao Xiao’s shoulder and wrapped her arm around it.

Xiao Xiao let out a long sigh and stared at the sky wordlessly. ”Ranran, let me tell you, I really like Lin Junyang. This is the first time I’ve liked a man this much. You know, back in high school, there were boys who chased after me, but I didn’t even give them a look. Over the years, I’ve seen clearly how my mom has come through. Honestly, I’ve lost hope in men until I met Lin Junyang. That feeling of heartthrob—doesn’t it make you want to give up everything? Have you ever felt the same?”

An Ran looked at Xiao Xiao with a bit of sympathy, ”I know, I understand.”

”Understand? What good does understanding do? I haven’t even started dating, and I’ve lost love already.” Xiao Xiao pretended to cry, putting her arm around An Ran.

An Ran had been friends with Xiao Xiao for years and knew her personality well. Though the sadness was real, it hadn’t reached the point of crying a river. She shoved her away disdainfully.

”Xiao Xiao, honestly, I think you don’t need to be pessimistic. Brother Yang hasn’t outright rejected you, right? Besides, I’ve spent so much time with him, including that period in Imperial City, and I’ve never seen him get so close to any other girl. Look, not only does he pick you up and drop you off, but he also lets you stay in the same room with him. What does that tell you?”

”What does that tell me?” Xiao Xiao asked.

”It tells you that you still have a chance. At least he doesn’t reject you.” An Ran said to her seriously.

”Haha, haha,” Xiao Xiao sneered, ”He doesn’t reject me?”

When we’re together, we argue; this is not rejection? Sharing the same room, making a delicate girl sleep on the sofa all night, falling off five times without a care and instead blaming her for being too fussy—this is not rejection?

This isn’t rejection, it’s practically the North and South Poles.

”Come on, Xiao Xiao, who are you? You’re Xiao Xiao, the one who’s more resilient than a cockroach. Don’t be discouraged, show him your infiltration tactics. With enough effort, you can grind an iron rod into a needle.” An Ran encouraged Xiao Xiao, genuinely worried she’d give up.

Lin Junyang is an exceptional man, and if he could end up with Xiao Xiao, it would be ideal.

Soon after hearing An Ran’s words, Xiao Xiao straightened up, eyes glittering with determination. ”Exactly, who am I? Who can out-argue me? If he wants to argue, I’m game, I’ll make him regret ever coming into this world.”

”That’s the Xiao Xiao I know.”

An Ran flattered her smoothly, causing Xiao Xiao to burst into laughter.

”By the way, An Ran, what are you planning to do about Instructor Mu? Are you just going to keep the marriage hidden?”

Lately, every weekend, An Ran would return to Longteng Xinyuan. The last time she got injured, she even went directly to the Guard Team to recuperate. Xiao Xiao knew Mu Xingfeng was a responsible man, but seeing An Ran follow him like this made her feel a bit unfair.

An Ran waved her hand indifferently, ”For now, let’s keep it this way. I think it’s quite good, avoiding a lot of trouble. But Instructor Mu did mention that if there’s time before his sister’s wedding, he wants to hold an engagement ceremony in Imperial City.”
