“In the parking lot across the road.” Song Xuanhe pointed to a store across the street. Although the store was small, there was quite a line outside. His lips curved into a smile. “I came to buy a roast goose. I heard that this shop’s roast goose is delicious.”
Xiao Yuanmu cast an indifferent glance at the shop and asked, “Who said that?” dh3yfN
“Zhou Nan.”
After responding, Song Xuanhe stiffened. He didn’t know if it was because he felt guilty, but his conversation with Xiao Yuanmu made him feel like he had just been caught cheating. In this scenario, he was the scummy boyfriend, and Xiao Yuanmu had just caught him in the act.
Song Xuanhe was about six or seven centimetres shorter than Xiao Yuanmu. When Xiao Yuanmu lowered his gaze, the other’s slightly curled lashes were right at eye level. He stared at them for two seconds before averting his gaze. He said, “Let’s go.”
“Go where?” Song Xuanhe was confused for a second. dqcrdF
“Roast goose.”
After they had bought the roast goose, they made their way to the parking lot. Song Xuanhe replayed their conversation in his head, and only then did he realize that he had been the one questioned the whole time. It was Xiao Yuanmu who had tailed him though. Song Xuanhe hadn’t done anything wrong. What was there to feel guilty about?
When Song Xuanhe thought of this, he raised his chin up slightly and cast a glance at Xiao Yuanmu’s profile. He coughed once and then slowly asked, “So, why were you following me?”
Xiao Yuanmu looked at him with a cool gaze for a second and said, “I left something in your car.” Mkgdcb
Song Xuanhe cocked an eyebrow up slightly when he heard this. He wasn’t that easy to fool. When he spoke again, his tone now carried the same calmness and indifference as Xiao Yuanmu’s when the other had been the one interrogating. “What was it? If you had left something in my car, you could have called me. Why’d you follow me?”
“My phone.”
Song Xuanhe was silent for a few seconds. “Then, why didn’t you ask me at the company?”
“I was busy. Didn’t see you at lunch.” MiUmqO
Song Xuanhe looked unmoved. He seemed intent on not letting Xiao Yuanmu off. “Couldn’t you have come find me?”
“Okay.”
Okay?
Because something had come up earlier, Guo Tao had just arrived. He didn’t know what had happened just now. He had just come over because he had noticed that his partner and the university roommate he had invited were standing together.
Chrysanthemum Garden.
Thus, he smiled and said, “Did you forget about the friend I wanted to introduce to you? The one with the really impressive background? Well, this is him, my university roommate, Song Xuanhe. He’s one of the successors of the Song Group.”
When they heard this, several people’s eyes congregated on Song Xuanhe’s face. They all gasped collectively. They hadn’t thought that such a person would appear at the opening reception of such a small company. 2AknPj
When Song Jiabao heard everyone gasp at Song Xuanhe’s identity, Song Jiabao’s expression stiffened again. He hadn’t expected that Guo Tao would know Song Xuanhe or that Song Xuanhe was the friend he had said could possibly become a major client for them.
Everyone had heard what Song Jiabao had said just prior to this. Song Jiabao thought that there were certainly people making fun of him, saying that he didn’t know how to differentiate between what was good or bad for him. They were probably ridiculing him for daring to offend Song Xuanhe.
Why? He clearly shared the same great-grandfather with Song Xuanhe, but there was such a gap between their grandfathers. One grandfather was rich and powerful while the other could be considered middle-class at best. His father and Song Xuanhe’s father’s statuses were completely different.
Since they were young, because they were close in age, everyone had always compared him to Song Xuanhe. Although Song Jiabao would beat him in everything, everyone would conclude their comparison with: What a pity though. It’s Song Xuanhe who’s Song Guochao’s son. CMJiaY
After that, all the praise would be given to Song Xuanhe. No one ever looked at him twice.
It was only because Song Xuanhe was Great-Uncle’s grandson. Why was it like this?
Upon seeing Song Jiabao remain silent with an ugly expression on his face all this time, Guo Tao couldn’t help but ask, “Are you okay? And, are you and Xuanhe acquainted? I saw you guys talking just now.”
Song Jiabao immediately turned to look at Song Xuanhe when he heard this. When he saw the ridiculing smirk on the other’s lips, his anger only rose. However, he calmed himself down despite feeling so angry. He suddenly recalled the extremely handsome man who had been standing next to Song Xuanhe. The rumours about Song Xuanhe then popped up in his head. 3Jpxdf
Song Jiabao had an idea. His expression also improved. He laughed coldly. “He’s my cousin. But, he was kicked out of his house, because he had a fight with my uncle, so I haven’t seen him for a long time. I heard that the fight was about a man, because he had forced a man who didn’t like him to be with him.”
Song Jiabao turned around, his gaze landing on Xiao Yuanmu. With pride in his tone, he said, “If I’m not mistaken, the man in question should be this gentleman in front of me?”
Eve: I can never get enough of subtly jealous XYM. He’s even jealous of ZN I can’t.
Kara: Nah, nah, nah. He did not. He did not just do that. Boy, trying to embarrass both SXH and XYM?? Best square up, I ain’t afraid to fight. ϱ(`ન̇´)⁼³̳ Whelp, I bet neither of them will take this lying down though, so I’ll just leave it to the babies. _( :⁍ 」 )_ R0LYe
