In front of Xia Xiao, Shu Shuang was always gentle and virtuous, like an all-powerful young wife who could handle everything for him. But at this moment, her eyes were fierce and murderous, as if she could kill Yu Ling in front of her in a breath.
This was the first time Xia Xiao saw Shu Shuang showing such an expression, and Yu Ling was also surprised. And Shu Shuang's identity as a member of the church made Yu Ling back out.
"Shu Shuang?"
Xia Xiao held her hand, and Shu Shuang gradually restrained her breath. The murderous intent in the air slowly dissipated. Women are indeed the most terrifying creatures in the world. Even Shu Shuang has such a fierce side. Xia Xiao still doesn't know why Shu Shuang is angry. I didn't do anything, right?
"What are you doing here?"
Shu Shuang asked Yu Ling with contempt. She obviously dressed like this on purpose. Lin Tian was unreliable so she came to tease Xia Xiao? How shameless.
"I was ordered to deliver something."
Yu Ling was also a smart person. Seeing Shu Shuang listening to Xia Xiao, she lost her fear. She didn't show any hostility, so they couldn't chase her away, right?
"Give me the stuff."
Shu Shuang held out her hand, feeling a little unhappy. She hated this kind of woman, who deliberately tried to sell herself out, as if this was success. Shu Shuang couldn't care less if Yu Ling did this to others, but she couldn't do this in front of Xia Xiao. In Shu Shuang's eyes, Yu Ling's behavior was an insult to Xia Xiao, as if they were the same kind of people.
"Give it?"
Yu Ling looked at Xia Xiao, waiting for him to make a decision. Although Shu Shuang was also beautiful, in Yu Ling's eyes she was just a village girl who didn't know how to dress herself up, so she threw a coquettish look at Xia Xiao, her graceful figure was charming and delicate.
Oh my——
No man can stand this kind of temptation, and Xia Xiao is no exception. However, he was not overwhelmed by it, so he uttered a word.
"Give."
When Shu Shuang mentioned the exquisite lunch box, her face lit up, as if she had won a battle. Xia Xiao would not speak for her just because she showed her chest and legs. And Shu Shuang knew that Xia Xiao liked her. Even if it was just a little, it was still love, Yu Ling couldn't compare!
"Thank you for the gift, please go back!"
Xia Xiao's voice was very cold. Shu Shuang showed a proud look, snorted, and turned her head away.
Seeing the two people walking by, Yu Ling felt insulted. She didn't believe that Xia Xiao had such good self-control, so she immediately said:
"Master Xia, I have come such a long way. If I don't have a cup of tea, you should at least ask me to sit for a while, right?"
"you……"
Shu Shuang was about to speak when Xia Xiao gently pinched the back of her neck and made her turn around.
"Play with her."
Xia Xiao leaned close to Shu Shuang's ear, and the hot breath he exhaled made her face blush. Then, Xia Xiao said casually:
"There's no tea at home, but there are plenty of chairs. Sit down if you want!"
"Thank you, Master Xia!"
Yu Ling was secretly arrogant. Didn't Shu Shuang have the status of a member of the Zou Shou Church? That broken church was a shabby place where she had to run around every day. She would not go even when invited to go. Now that Xia Xiao had kept her, she was going to start performing.
Pulling her skirt in front of her chest, Yu Ling deliberately showed more of her proud chest, then lifted her skirt to show her slender legs, and walked into the room. Sitting elegantly on the chair, Yu Ling saw three cups next to the teapot, but Shu Shuang handed one to Xia Xiao, held one herself, and left the other one there, with no intention of giving her any.
Looking at Xia Xiao again, the latter did not express her opinion, but just looked at her, as if she was going to send her away if she didn't speak anymore.
Gnashing her teeth, Yu Ling was not interested in the wine, nor in the cup of tea. Her family had a mountain of fine tea leaves, enough for the people of Rongcheng to drink for several days. But what she cared about was Xia Xiao's eyes. This guy didn't look away, which made her feel a little strange, and even doubted her own looks again.
Yu Ling lowered her eyes and saw that her skin was white, tender and smooth, and then she regained her confidence.
"Master Xia has recovered really quickly. When I sent someone here the day before yesterday, you were still in a coma."
The day before yesterday, Yu Ling returned to Rongcheng as soon as she left the Wild Beast Forest. She prepared some things and asked someone to send them to Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang. She didn't expect that they could move normally at this time. Such recovery ability is really terrifying.
"Thank you, Miss Yu."
Yu Ling glanced around and said awkwardly:
"Master Xia's house is really clean and tidy. If you don't mind, you can go to Yu's house and have a seat. There are all kinds of things in there."
"Thank you, Miss Yu, but for a place like home, you have to look at the people inside, not just the house."
Yu Ling sat with her legs crossed, which made Shu Shuang's teeth itch. This woman is so annoying, why doesn't she just take off her clothes?
"So what kind of mistress does Young Master Xia want to find?"
"Isn't it too early to talk about this now?"
"Graceful lady, the skirt is perfect. Master Xia is young and promising, but there will definitely be a day when he will worry about family affairs. Why don't you think about it carefully? Should you find a gentle and beautiful female companion who can impress the audience and make soup? Or should you find a simple and plain little girl?"
Yu Ling glanced at Shu Shuang with contempt, causing the latter to clench her fists. If Xia Xiao hadn't been there, she would have taken action long ago.
"That's true. It's time to think about it."
Seeing Xia Xiao's answer, Yu Ling giggled, and there was a little more contempt in her eyes when she looked at Shu Shuang.
"Master Xia, which one do you think is the best?"
Shu Shuang looked at Xia Xiao, waiting for his answer. Would he like someone like Yu Ling? Although Yu Ling was not a good person, she had a really good figure, even comparable to Sister Hui Yue. If he liked someone like that, then she would be finished, and she might not be able to become like that. Shu Shuang lowered her head and looked at Yu Ling again. The difference was too big.
"Um……"
Xia Xiao's hesitation aroused Yu Ling's expectations, but he then said:
"Someone like Shu Shuang is good."
The bright smile froze for a moment, and Shu Shuang looked at Xia Xiao, with stars in her eyes. This feeling of being affirmed made Shu Shuang feel very good, and no matter what she did, it was worth it.
The two girls looked at each other. Shu Shuang could raise her head proudly again, but Yu Ling had not given up and asked Xia Xiao.
"What do you think of me, Master Xia?"
"It's pretty good, but there's one thing missing."
Xia Xiao was in a good mood today and successfully performed the Supreme Breathing Array, otherwise he would not have the heart to make a fuss with Yu Ling. Now that it has come to this, he also wants to see what other tricks Yu Ling has.
"Master Xia Xiao, please go ahead."
"She's so ugly."
Xia Xiao did not hesitate, but his words shocked Yu Ling, who was stunned. Looking at her livid face, Shu Shuang could not help but sneer.
Yu Ling had prepared many excuses. If Xia Xiao said that she was too domineering before, she would say that Lin Jing was the city lord and their family was forced to rely on him. If he said that she was not kind enough, she would say that Xia Xiao did not understand her well enough and they should just date for a while. If he said that she was wearing revealing clothes, she would say that she only wore them for the people she liked. These words were perfect, but Xia Xiao's words were too ugly, which made Yu Ling swallow all the words back.
Xia Xiao's face was calm, as if he was telling the truth. But Yu Ling's face was ugly, and even his tone became hurried.
"Master Xia, are you serious?"
"Do I look like I'm kidding you?"
Yu Ling nodded angrily, his eyes gradually becoming more arrogant.
"Okay, you're kidding me!"
"It was Miss Yu who tried to play tricks on me first, wasn't it? If you're being so attentive to me for no reason, you're either a traitor or a thief."
"Can't we make friends?"
Yu Ling revealed her true appearance. The image of a good girl did not suit her, but Xia Xiao was a person who would not give in once he made up his mind, and he refused to give in at this moment.
"I don't need you as a friend."
Yu Ling suddenly felt ashamed. She was dressed so sexily. If she was rejected like this, she would lose all her face if the news got out!
"Goodbye!"
"Wait a moment!"
As soon as Xia Xiao finished speaking, Yu Ling, who was facing away, stopped and prepared to give him a chance to please her. If he didn't say a few nice words, she wouldn't be happy. But Xia Xiao would disappoint her, so he wouldn't please anyone. He just took out the expensive tonic that Yu Ling had given him the day before yesterday, and the exquisite lunch box.
"Miss Yu forgot to bring something."
Seeing this, Yu Ling's face turned red and tears welled up in her eyes, which was heartbreaking.
When Shu Shuang saw this, she secretly called him a master, since he could control his tears. In fact, Shu Shuang didn't know that Yu Ling really cried, because she was angry!
"Do you dislike me so much? Do you dislike me so much?"
If Shu Shuang was Xia Xiao, he would be in a state of confusion. Girls can solve most problems by crying in front of boys and acting like a spoiled child. But how should Xia Xiao deal with it? Shu Shuang had never done this before, and he didn't know how Xia Xiao would react. But he was frighteningly calm and just continued to carry the things in his hands.
"then."
Yu Ling stamped her feet, her tone coquettishly filled with blame.
"Don't you know you need to comfort a girl if you make her cry?"
Xia Xiao scratched his head and uttered two words.
"Won't."
Yu Ling slammed the door and walked out. Xia Xiao watched and just shrugged his shoulders, not chasing after her. He didn't want to indulge in this false land of tenderness, and he didn't care about Yu Ling's pretentiousness.
After going downstairs, Yu Ling threw away the lunch box in her hand, and the medicine was scattered all over the floor, and the medicine bags were scattered. Seeing her so angry, passers-by were so frightened that they dared not move, but they were fascinated by her breasts and her slender waist.
"Let's go! Go back home!"
Yu Ling got on the carriage with tears in her eyes. She gritted her teeth in anger. Damn Xia Xiao, how dare he humiliate her like this! But she was helpless. She couldn't do anything to Xia Xiao. If Lin Jing heard about this, their Yu family would suffer.
What happened in front of the pharmacy was, naturally, the old man cleaning up the mess. Seeing such good medicinal materials, he picked them up and went back to sort them one by one, thinking it would be a pity to waste them.
After a while, Huiyue came, and the young apprentice stood at the door and peeked again.
"You're only ten years old and you're already peeking around. What will happen to you when you grow up?"
Grabbing his ears, the old man took him to the pharmacy and scolded him.
Huiyue didn't know what trouble she had gotten herself into. After entering the room, she said:
"I made some chicken soup."
"I'm so hungry."
Xia Xiao no longer disliked and blamed her, which made Huiyue gradually relax. Taking the cup of water handed over by Shu Shuang, Huiyue asked:
"I just saw Yu Ling. What is she doing here?"
Speaking of this, Shu Shuang described it vividly. Seeing her excitement, Xia Xiao didn't want to interrupt her.
Huiyue listened and laughed with Shushuang. But Xia Xiao kept reflecting on himself, thinking that he didn't perform well.
