Chapter 38: Who Told You to Cheat

After they finished eating, they planned to go shopping.

“Click!”

The bedroom door opened, and Jiang Yubing walked out gracefully.

She wore a loose yellow T-shirt on her upper body.

Although the T-shirt was loose, the curves of her proud figure still faintly showed through.

She paired it with an ultra-short skirt below.

But the yellow T-shirt was too long and just happened to cover the skirt.

Only her long, slender legs were left exposed.

Shen Qingxuan took in the whole scene at a glance.

His gaze seemed glued in place, unable to move away at all.

“What are you looking at?”

Jiang Yubing’s eyes sparkled as she pretended to be angry.

“Huh?”

Shen Qingxuan snapped back to his senses.

His eyes darted around in panic, eventually landing on the door.

He put on a serious face and blurted out nonsense, “I’m looking at the door!”

“What’s so good about the door?”

Jiang Yubing raised her eyebrows slightly.

Shen Qingxuan’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down.

He stammered, “This door… does look like a door.”

A sly smile tugged at the corners of Jiang Yubing’s mouth; she knew all too well what Shen Qingxuan was thinking.

“It’s not like I told you not to look, so why are you pretending to be a gentleman?”

“There’s really a chance like this?”

Shen Qingxuan’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn’t help but exclaim out loud.

“Three!”

Jiang Yubing suddenly began to count down, a mischievous gleam in her eyes.

“Two!”

Her voice rang out, the smile at her lips growing even more obvious.

“One! Time’s up! You’re not allowed to look anymore.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she smirked playfully, her eyes filled with pride.

Damn!

That was it?

He was still savoring the stunning scene from just now, not yet snapping out of it.

“Three seconds isn’t enough!”

“Give me another chance, I’m in high school.”

Jiang Yubing, seeing his look, laughed so hard she bent over: “Beg me then!”

“Please!”

Shen Qingxuan didn’t even think and blurted it out.

“No sincerity at all.” Jiang Yubing pouted her lips.

“What counts as sincere?”

“Kowtow for me.”

Jiang Yubing tilted her head, a teasing glint in her eyes.

“A man kneels only to heaven and parents. How could I, Shen Qingxuan, bow down before your skirt?”

Shen Qingxuan straightened his back at once and said righteously.

“How about just one knee?”

Jiang Yubing couldn’t help bursting into laughter.

Her eyes were full of tenderness. “I was just teasing you. Did you really want to keep looking?”

…

The two strolled leisurely down the street.

Shen Qingxuan still held a breath of resentment because of what had just happened.

His strides dragged and he fell way behind Jiang Yubing.

“Shen Qingxuan, I want some milk tea.”

Jiang Yubing stopped in her tracks.

She turned around.

Her voice was soft and carried a hint of coquettishness.

“No money!”

Shen Qingxuan responded flatly without thinking at all.

Even though he felt a bit thirsty himself.

But he was still upset, after being toyed with by Jiang Yubing for so long.

Now she wanted to send him off to buy milk tea.

What a dream!

Shen Qingxuan felt that, even if he died of thirst on the street today, he wouldn’t get milk tea for Jiang Yubing.

“Really not going?” Jiang Yubing gave a mysterious smile.

“Not going!” Shen Qingxuan remained unmoved.

“I was just thinking, since you’ve behaved well lately, I’d reward you with a thousand yuan! Pity.”

Jiang Yubing gave a soft sigh, feigning disappointment.

Yet her gaze was fixed on Shen Qingxuan, watching his reaction.

“How… how much?”

Shen Qingxuan jerked his head up, his face full of shock and anticipation.

“One thousand.” Jiang Yubing repeated unhurriedly.

“Miss, what flavor would you like? I’ll go buy it right away.”

Shen Qingxuan jogged to stand before Jiang Yubing.

His whole demeanor changed, face brimming with a fawning smile.

Since he started school, his living expenses never passed four digits!

That one thousand yuan was a huge sum for him.

“Isn’t that difficult for you?”

Jiang Yubing lifted her chin slightly and spoke blandly.

“Not at all! I love running errands for Miss!”

“Little Xuan, go ahead.

Buy two cups. One pearls milk tea will do, regular ice.”

Jiang Yubing waved her hand.

Then she took out her phone, her slender fingers tapping quickly on the screen.

When Shen Qingxuan heard “Little Xuan,” a flash of annoyance crossed his face.

He thought to himself: Who’s “Little Xuan,” your whole family’s “Little Xuan.”

Just as he was about to retort, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

He immediately pulled it out.

As soon as he unlocked the screen, he saw the money transfer from Jiang Yubing.

One thousand yuan, not more, not less.

“Your Highness, are two cups enough? Maybe I should buy a few more?”

With the money received, the smile on Shen Qingxuan’s face grew even wider.

Even being called that by Jiang Yubing just now, he no longer felt annoyed.

“Go on, two cups is enough, your lord awaits here.”

“Yes~”

Shen Qingxuan dashed off to the milk tea shop.

While queuing, he glanced back from time to time in Jiang Yubing’s direction, afraid his golden goose would wander off.

It wasn’t easy to get the milk tea.

He carefully held the two cups as if they were rare treasures and hurried back.

“Your Highness, your pearls milk tea is here!”

Shen Qingxuan’s face was plastered with smiles.

He handed the milk tea to Jiang Yubing and even thoughtfully inserted the straw.

Jiang Yubing took the milk tea and took a light sip.

A satisfied look blossomed on her face.

“Hm, it tastes pretty good. You really did well.”

A hint of a smile lit up her eyes, and she was very pleased with Shen Qingxuan’s performance.

As soon as Shen Qingxuan heard this, joy burst in his heart.

He hurriedly raised his own cup and took a big gulp.

He had to admit, milk tea bought with his own hard-earned money tasted just a bit sweeter.

The smile on Shen Qingxuan’s face simply wouldn’t go away.

He kept grinning foolishly, his mouth nearly stretching to his ears.

“What are you grinning for?”

Jiang Yubing’s big bright eyes carried obvious confusion.

Shen Qingxuan scratched his head with a silly smile.

He said with utmost sincerity, “I finally have some spare money to buy my little wife beautiful clothes.”

Little wife?

Those two words were like a bomb, instantly chilling the air around Jiang Yubing.

Her face became expressionless as she stepped closer and closer to Shen Qingxuan.

At that moment, Shen Qingxuan was still lost in daydreams, His head filled with the scenes of choosing pretty clothes for his “little wife.”

Suddenly, He felt a chill sweep straight up behind him.

Shen Qingxuan’s heart sank.

He silently cried out: Which rebel was plotting against me?

“Hiss—”

Shen Qingxuan winced in pain, his features twisting, unable to help but cry out.

He spun around instantly.

He saw Jiang Yubing standing expressionless right behind him.

Her gaze seemed icy enough to freeze people on the spot.

“Jiang Yubing, what are you doing?”

Shen Qingxuan frowned, He rubbed his aching waist, looking at her with deep grievance.

Jiang Yubing’s voice was so calm it was like a motionless lake: “Did I do anything?”

“You pinched my waist!” Shen Qingxuan raised his voice.

“Who told you to cheat? Serves you right!”

Jiang Yubing’s brows arched up, a flicker of anger in her eyes.

“Cheat?”

Shen Qingxuan froze.

Was this the cheating he thought of?

He didn’t do anything!

He just drank a cup of milk tea…

Wait.

Could it be…

Shen Qingxuan’s gaze drifted slowly to the milk tea in his hand.

As if he suddenly understood something, he muttered to himself: “This cup of milk tea was hers…”
