Chapter 9

Meng Xue thought a lot last night and slept until she woke up naturally.

She got dressed and opened the door.

She saw Xi Jingchen leaning against the pillar in front of her room smoking, with three or four cigarette butts at his feet.

Meng Xue frowned.

Could it be that this guy didn’t leave and smoked all night?

When Xi Jingchen heard the sound of the door opening, he quickly put away the cigarette in his hand.

Meng Xue had changed out of her bright red wedding dress and put on a floral shirt that had become a little pale from washing and a pair of black pants.

Two big braided pigtails tied with red hairbands hung in front of her body.

With her already delicate facial features, she looks particularly youthful and beautiful.

Xi Jingchen couldn’t help but stare in amazement.

Meng Xue was about to call him uncle, but thinking of the warning from last night, she quickly changed her words and called him Brother Jing Chen.

She saw Xi Jingchen staring at her motionlessly and felt as if he was being frozen in place by a spell.

He waved his hand in front of him.

“Brother Jingchen? Brother Jingchen? What are you looking at? Is there something dirty on my face?”

Meng Xue touched her face after she finished speaking.

Did she wipe her face with a towel when she went out?

Wasn’t it wiped clean?

When Xi Jingchen saw her actions, he burst out laughing.

I feel that this girl becomes cuter the more I look at her.

“No! It’s clean!”

He walked up to her and pinched her fair, smooth little face.

Yesterday she wore a red wedding dress, and took the initiative to seduce him while applying Chinese medicine, giving him a charming feeling.

But her outfit today is fresh and lovely, like a girl next door, very friendly, making people want to get closer to her.

Meng Xue felt a tingling sensation on her face when Xi Jingchen’s hand touched her face, followed by a burning sensation.

My whole heart started to feel hot.

She looked at him slightly angrily.

“Hey, just talk, don’t touch me, you’re pinching my face and it hurts!”

She said as she put her hands over her face and rubbed it.

Xi Jingchen looked at Meng Xue’s slightly red cheeks, not knowing whether she rubbed them or he pinched them.

He still said, “Sorry!”

Xi Jingchen felt that he didn’t use much effort!

When I first saw her cute appearance, I couldn’t help but want to pinch her.

I wonder if her face is like a freshly boiled egg, white, soft and elastic?

It feels good, but I can’t help pinching it.

It hurt her without much effort.

When Meng Xue heard his apology, she didn’t know what to say for a moment.

The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward, and at this moment Meng Ning’s voice came over.

“Hey, cousin? Uncle? What are you doing?”

Meng Xue and Xi Jingchen turned their heads at the same time to look at the person who came.

Meng Ning and Xi Mu Nian came to them hand in hand.

Xi Mu Nian nodded to Xi Jing Chen and called out, “Third Uncle!”

Xi Jingchen said “hmm”.

Meng Xue looked at the two people opposite her.

They look so sweet.

But why do they have such dark circles under their eyes?

Didn’t you sleep well?

“Good morning, cousin! You look good! You must have slept well last night!”

Meng Ning glanced at Xi Mu Nian shyly.

After they left last night, the couple started their baby-making plan and hardly got any sleep.

“Thanks to you, my old brother and I really had a pleasant night!”

Meng Ning put his arm around Xi Munian’s arm, leaned his head against him, and smiled sweetly.

She looked at Meng Xue provocatively.

It seems to be saying, my brother is mine!

Meng Xue understood the deep meaning in her eyes and was not willing to be outdone.

She took Xi Jingchen’s hand and smiled.

“Just be happy, cousin. Brother Jingchen and I have something else to do, so we’ll leave first!”

After saying this, Meng Xue was about to pull Xi Jingchen away.

Seeing this, Meng Ning called her.

“Cousin, wait!”

Meng Xue stopped and looked back at her.

“Cousin? What’s up?”

Meng Ning smiled slightly, “After dinner, I’m going to the market with my brother Mu Nian to buy some daily necessities. Would you like to come with me, cousin?”

Meng Xue understood that Meng Ning wanted to show his affection with Xi Mu Nian in front of her.

If it was her in her previous life, she might still care, but since she no longer loves him in this life, she doesn’t care anymore.

She had thought it through last night.

I will not offend others unless they offend me.

She doesn’t want to depend on the Xi family for her living.

She has to be herself and work hard to become better so as not to let down the chance God has given her to live a second life.

In her previous life, Meng Ning harmed her, and she could explain it as being a stumbling block between them.

But she made them happy in this life.

There is no need for them to hurt themselves anymore!

“Brother Jingchen, what do you think?”

Xi Jingchen looked at Meng Xue who was looking at her with her head tilted, smiling brightly.

I feel warm in my heart!

“You decide!”

Meng Xue didn’t want to see Meng Ning and the others, after all, they treated her like that in her previous life.

When she was with them, she was always on edge and had to be on guard against them at all times to prevent them from setting traps for her.

She had learned her lesson in her previous life, hadn’t she?

“I’d better not. I still need to cultivate my relationship with Brother Jingchen! Brother Jingchen, what do you think?”

Xi Jingchen nodded and said “hmm”, then took Meng Xue’s hand and left.

Xi Mu Nian frowned slightly as he looked at their holding hands.

He never held her hand, but she held hands with his third uncle?

Xi Mu Nian felt like he was being cheated on and felt very aggrieved.

Even if that person is his third uncle…

Meng Ning saw Xi Munian staring in the direction the two had left, and frowned slightly.

“Brother Mu Nian? What’s wrong?”

Xi Munian withdrew his gaze and shook his head at Meng Ning.

“It’s okay. Do you think my third uncle will really marry her?”

Meng Ning felt a little uncomfortable when he heard him mention Meng Xue.

“Who knows?”

Meng Ning suddenly thought of Meng Xue’s Chinese medicine.

She bought that medicine specially, and the only antidote is a man.

She saw Meng Xue drink the medicine with her own eyes before she coaxed her to sleep.

Only then did she have the opportunity to go to the backyard with Xi Mu Nian.

Why did you feel she was fine later?

Found them yet?

“Brother Mu Nian, don’t you think that my uncle and Xiao Xue are too close? Do you think they will…”

Xi Mu Nian was slightly stunned, “You mean they have been together for a long time?”

Meng Ning gave him a look that asked him the truth.

Xi Mu Nian quickly denied it.

“Impossible, Third Uncle came back because I’m getting married! This is the first time you and she have met him! If they have been together for a long time, I have nothing to do with them. After all, it is Third Uncle who is engaged to Xiaoxue!”

It was because his third uncle had no choice that he was forced to fulfill the engagement.

After all, apart from his third uncle, he is the only man in the family who is of age.

After hearing what Xi Munian said, Meng Ning became more certain of his guess.

Two people who had no connection with each other before suddenly became close.

She thought of Xi Jingchen’s protection of her in the hall yesterday, and her mind suddenly became clear.

Meng Ning felt that he had uncovered the truth.

Because she knew a secret.

The man who provided the antidote for Meng Xue was Xi Jingchen.
