Qiao Yang gently brushed a few strands of hair that had fallen onto her cheek, his movements very natural, and then he smiled and said, "But don't call her Sister Xiaoxiao, you're older than her."
Tang Xiaoxiao is only 23 years old this year. Yu Duo was born two years late and started school because her family was poor. So although she is a senior in college and has not yet graduated, she is already 24 years old.
Yu Duo already felt somewhat inferior because she was two years older than her classmates at school. After hearing Qiao Yang's words, a sinister glint flashed in her eyes.
Hearing that his words implied a great admiration for Tang Xiaoxiao, she felt a dull ache in her heart, as if a piece of cotton was stuck inside.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao. I thought you were at least twenty-five or twenty-six since you're married and so capable. I didn't expect you to be younger than me," Yu Duo explained softly.
Her explanation only made everyone in the room feel uncomfortable.
Yu Xiao didn't have that much thought and said directly, "Xiaoxiao's face looks like she's eighteen, not twenty-five or twenty-six at all. I think she looks younger than my cousin who's a sophomore in college."
Yu Duo twitched the corner of her mouth: "I didn't say she looked old. I just felt that graduating from university and then starting a business takes several years." She then seemed to suddenly remember something, raising her hand to cover her mouth: "Did I say something wrong again? I'm sorry, I didn't know you didn't go to university..."
Tang Xiaoxiao leaned lazily against Han Yunqi and said, "I skipped two grades and graduated two years earlier than others. And I'm not married yet, although I'll be soon."
Did you skip two grades?
Yu Duo felt like she was being mocked again.
That was just her overthinking. How could Tang Xiaoxiao know that she had delayed starting school for two years?
"You're not married... I saw that Brother Han was so familiar with this place, and since you two live together, I thought you were already a couple."
Is this implying that she is immoral?
Living together before marriage?
Even a straight, single man like He Haisheng could tell that something was off about her words.
This was the first time Tang Xiaoxiao had encountered such a scheming and manipulative little bitch since her rebirth.
"The wedding is in two months. I hope to see you then," Tang Xiaoxiao said with a forced smile.
"Qiao Yang! What does she mean by this?" Yu Duo turned to face her boyfriend. How could she not understand what Tang Xiaoxiao meant? Was she saying that she would be dumped soon and would not be eligible to attend the wedding in two months?
Who cares? She wouldn't go even if you invited her, and she wouldn't let Qiao Yang go either!
However, Qiao Yang, who had been smiling just moments before, now had a grim expression, and his cold gaze made her heart tremble.
Yu Duo cleverly changed her tone, coquettishly saying, "Did you change girlfriends a lot in the past? Otherwise, why would people say that!"
Qiao Yang stared at her for a while without responding to her words, until Yu Duo became increasingly guilty and could no longer help but avoid his gaze. Only then did he turn to Tang Xiaoxiao and say, "Don't ruin my reputation. You said that was Lao Bai, not me."
"Hey, what do you mean by that, Qiao?" Bai Siming casually threw an orange peel at his face.
Yu Xiao pinched Bai Siming's arm at the right moment: "What do you mean? I want to know too."
"No way, he's just talking nonsense, my dear! Stop pinching me, it hurts!" Bai Siming cried out in exaggerated pain.
Their banter immediately eased the tense atmosphere. Since everyone was emotionally intelligent, they quickly changed the subject and no one brought up the previous incident again.
