What on earth has this guy been through?
It's just a weight loss exercise, how could the effect be so significant?
Xia Yuxin looked down at her flat stomach and slender legs, her eyebrows drooping in distress.
All right……
Given her weight, gaining weight is what she should be considering; if she tries to lose more weight, that would probably be a real problem.
"I'm not a perverted brother-complex!"
Tang Yanyan's words contained a great deal of information, and it took Xia Yuxin a long time to process it all. She was quite smart, but she had been distracted and exhausted lately, and her whole body had become haggard. Only now did she seem a little dazed and realize that Tang Yanyan had secretly cursed her at the beginning.
"When a stone is thrown at a pack of dogs, only the dog that gets hit will bark. So tell me... who is the one that gets hit?"
Xia Yuxin's belated counterattack was like a cat hissing in Tang Yanyan's eyes—not threatening at all, but rather adorable.
"you……"
Xia Yuxin was almost driven to her death by anger. She finally understood why some people in ancient times could be verbally abused to the point of suicide.
Tang Yanyan's lips look shiny and seem very kissable, but in reality, they're poisoned!
Just one glance at it could poison you to death.
"So... have you already told my dad and the others about this? What did they say?"
Xia Yuxin didn't want to argue with Tang Yanyan anymore. This woman's verbal skills were top-notch, and she was no match for her.
"Yes, I've already said that. Uncle Xia said he'd think about it, but I understand what he meant... He just wants Xia Che and me to resolve this through negotiation. Times have changed, and marriage is no longer something that parents have to decide. Whether or not the engagement should be dissolved depends on the two of us."
Tang Yanyan shrugged and said, "It's a coincidence. I'm going to Jiang City to meet a business partner, so I can get this done right away."
"Aren't you worried about what will happen if my brother doesn't agree to you canceling the engagement?"
Xia Yuxin frowned, but a secret joy welled up inside her that she herself was unaware of.
If their engagement is truly called off, then the biggest imaginary enemy that resides deep within her heart...
Does that mean we'll just disappear?
Great news!
wrong!
Xia Yuxin, now is not the time to think about this!
Xia Yuxin was startled. Xia Che's current situation in Jiang City was dire, and he was even on the verge of losing his life. Yet she was still thinking about such a problem.
We should save the old man's life first!
After thinking it over, Xia Yuxin tried her best to come up with a reason that Tang Yanyan could accept, preferably one that would allow her to give up her plans to go to Jiang City. Although Tang Yanyan was a bit sharp-tongued, Xia Yuxin still didn't want to see her get into trouble.
The situation in Jiang City is very complicated right now. Before we figure out what exactly happened, Tang Yanyan, who is Xia Che's fiancée, may also be drawn into the danger.
That wouldn't be fun at all.
"He will. I don't have a good impression of Xia Che."
Tang Yanyan calculated the time in her mind. The tea should be almost cold by now. She picked up the teacup, felt the lukewarm tea after it cooled down, took a sip, and felt the warmth flow into her throat. Then she said calmly, "Have you ever seen how awful he is?"
"Was it bad? It was alright... My brother is quite gentle, isn't he?"
Xia Yuxin didn't understand what Tang Yanyan meant by "bad".
She gradually developed feelings for her older brother because of his gentle personality.
"No...you were just deceived by his appearance. This guy took a bottle cap that someone else had casually thrown away on the roadside and exchanged it for a full five hundred dollars from me, just because he lied to me and said that this bottle cap was a lucky bottle cap, and that as long as I put it on my forehead, everyone would smile at me...I believed him, I really believed him."
"He also knew how to play hard to get. At first, he didn't intend to sell at all. Back then, I was just a naive and innocent girl. If he had sold to me readily, I might have become suspicious. But he understood human nature too well, so... I kept raising the price, even spending my lunch money that day, before finally reluctantly selling to me."
"Then...can you imagine a chubby girl parading around with a bottle cap on her head? What's most infuriating is that I actually believed the bottle cap worked, because everyone would laugh when they saw me. Now that I think about it...that wasn't a smile! Anyone who saw a chubby girl who couldn't even walk properly just to hold up a bottle cap on her head would laugh!"
Tang Yanyan grew angrier as she spoke, her teeth practically grinding together: "Not only did he cheat me out of my money and leave me starving, but he also made me the laughingstock of others... This guy is utterly wicked! How could you possibly have feelings for someone like that? And it's an immoral relationship between siblings? Are you crazy?"
When the topic of her childhood trauma came up, Tang Yanyan couldn't even maintain her aloof demeanor anymore. Her teeth were clenched, and she looked as if she wanted to mistake Xia Yuxin for Xia Che and pounce on her to take a big bite.
Even this level of anger isn't enough to vent my anger!
What an evil fellow! He wants me to marry him?
dream!
Tang Yanyan is determined to cancel this engagement no matter what!
"Um...this...um..."
Xia Yuxin's lips curled up, then she pressed them down again, then curled up, pressed down, curled up, pressed down...
what to do?
I really want to laugh.
But Tang Yanyan is so angry, wouldn't it be impolite to laugh now?
Xia Yuxin's stomach was sore from holding it in.
She really didn't expect that her older brother would actually prank Tang Yanyan like that. No wonder even after so many years, Tang Yanyan still looks like she's gritting her teeth whenever Xia Che is mentioned.
If we put ourselves in their shoes...
Xia Yuxin felt that even she herself would probably cancel the engagement without hesitation.
"Tell me! Isn't this going too far? Speak up!"
Tang Yanyan slammed the teacup down on the coffee table, her anger written all over her face.
"I think..."
Xia Yuxin raised an eyebrow, then said seriously, "Kids don't know any better, they were just playing with you. Don't take it to heart, it's all in the past."
"What the hell?"
Tang Yanyan's high, delicate nose almost crooked from anger. Could this guy even say a few human words?
Are children too young to understand?
He knows it all too well.
Aside from this incident, Xia Che had played pranks on her more times than the stars in the night sky. When she was little, she was practically Xia Che's personal stash of money; he would come here to beg for her money whether he had any or not. And what was most infuriating was...
I always fall for their tricks!
If they're this bad even as children, what will they be like when they grow up?
This was confirmed by Tang Yanyan when she saw the recent photos of Xia Che that her elders had given her.
So he really grew into that evil blond guy...
That guy, he's not strange at all.
