67: Chapter 66: Xiao Qing’s Fiancé?

“Oh, so that’s how it is.

Well, why didn’t you explain earlier?

That thief, huh,” Xiaoqing clenched her tiny fists and pouted, “daring to steal underwear, we definitely need to teach him a lesson.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll get him to the police station soon and give that thief a good questioning,” Song Yun immediately relaxed.

He had cleverly managed to redirect the conversation.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known how to face Xiaoqing later on.

After Li Shishi came out, she saw Song Yun teaching Xiaoqing.

When Xiaoqing looked her way, Li Shishi’s face flushed red, but then she thought that she hadn’t actually done anything wrong, so why feel guilty?

She rubbed her face and loudly exclaimed that she was hungry.

Hearing that, Song Yun also touched his stomach and said, “I’ll go buy some food for you, don’t wander off now.”

Li Shishi, with a look of disgust, pushed Song Yun a couple of times and urged him to hurry and buy the food.

Song Yun forced a smile, shook his head, changed his clothes, and left the house.

Just as Song Yun left, a sports car pulled up at the courtyard gate.

A handsome guy got out of the car, honked twice towards Xiaoqing’s residence next door, and finding no one there, he knocked on Song Yun’s door.

When the guy saw Li Shishi come out, his eyes lit up but he quickly disguised it, putting on what he thought was a charming smile and asked, “Excuse me, does a girl named Xiaoqing live next door?”

“What is it?

You looking for Xiaoqing for something?” Li Shishi asked, her tone guarded.

“I’m a good friend of Xiaoqing.

I was passing by Sunan City, so I specifically came to see how Xiaoqing is doing,” the handsome guy said, smiling like a warm spring breeze.

Li Shishi scrutinized the man carefully.

He had a handsome face and oozed a certain charisma, his smile revealing two dimples that were lethal to women.

He was dressed in a black Armani suit.

And when he spoke to her, showing his neat set of eight little teeth, Li Shishi’s fondness for him grew considerably.

“Wait here for a bit.

Xiaoqing is at my place right now, I’ll go and ask her,” Li Shishi said, before gently closing the door and going to find Xiaoqing, who was still practicing martial arts in the courtyard.

Following her out, Xiaoqing frowned unconsciously and asked, “What are you doing here?”

“I’ve missed you terribly, Xiaoqing.

On my way to Sunan, I made a special visit to your uncle and aunt.

They’re in good health, but they’re still a bit heartbroken about you leaving home, especially your aunt — she’s visibly lost a lot of weight.

She misses you deeply and asked me to come and see you.”

“Thank you for your kindness and for visiting my parents,” Xiaoqing replied with her lips pursed, showing none of her usual vulnerability.

Instead, she was the picture of a frosty goddess, keeping everyone at arm’s length.

“Hahaha, Xiaoqing, we’re practically family, why so formal?” the good-looking guy chuckled.

“Your aunt said that if you have time, you should go home and visit more often.

After all, you’re their flesh and blood.”

“What I want to do is none of your business, you better manage yourself first,” Xiaoqing said calmly.

The handsome guy’s eyes darted to Li Shishi, who stood still, looking perplexed, and he felt a surge of anger.

‘How can you be so clueless?’ he thought.

‘You should be making yourself scarce right now, or at least invite me inside, not just standing there looking like a complete fool.’

“The intention of your uncle is that we go back together for the National Day holiday.

It coincides with my grandfather’s birthday, and I’ve come to Sunan City mainly to distribute some invitations to family and friends.”

“Oh, what does that have to do with me?

Besides, the Xiao Family will surely send someone to his birthday celebration, so there’s no need for me, a young girl, to go especially,” Xiaoqing said, her voice laced with irony.

“But if you don’t go, grandpa will be really upset.

Xiaoqing, have you forgotten that you’re my girlfriend?

Not just my girlfriend, but my fiancée,” the handsome guy said with an embarrassed look.

Li Shishi’s face registered shock; she had never heard about Xiaoqing having a boyfriend.

Could it be that they had been dating in secret?

“Su Qin, I think you’re misunderstanding something.

I am not your girlfriend, nor am I your fiancée.

I remember when I was your girlfriend, you didn’t cherish me.

Later, you dumped me aside and now have the audacity to come looking for me?” Xiaoqing said angrily.

“I wish your grandfather a long life, but as for attending the birthday, I won’t be going.

Don’t ever bring it up again.”

“Ah, Xiaoqing, why must you be like this?

Although I admit I was once a terrible person—a heartless playboy—I know you still love me.

Every night, I pray to the stars, hoping you will forgive my past mistakes and that we can get back together.

But each morning, I wake up to realize you won’t come back—that’s the undeniable truth.

Xiaoqing, I love you; I truly love you.

Your family and mine both want us to be together.

Why must you be so stubborn?” Su Qin performed convincingly, as if he were the prodigal son whose return was truly priceless.

Before he had met Xiaoqing, Su Qin didn’t care much about their arranged marriage.

But once he saw her, he felt like he had fallen for that pure girl.

He knew that even if Xiaoqing had no background, he had to win her over.

But after winning her heart, Xiaoqing insisted that they wait until their wedding night, a seemingly simple request that was actually hard to fulfill.

How could a dog that had tasted meat be content with porridge every day?

How could a cat that had stolen a taste now settle for regular cat food daily?

So, at yet another gathering, he met Xiaoqing’s best friend and the two became embroiled in an affair that eventually led to Xiaoqing catching them in the act.

This was a disaster.

Although the Xiao Family wasn’t as prosperous as before, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse.

Xiaoqing insisted on breaking up and he didn’t dare object, though the reason was not publicized, so both their parents thought it was just a simple falling out.

“Su Qin, I don’t want to deal with you right now.

Maybe marrying into the Xiao Family would be beneficial for both our families, but remember, I am not an object for anyone to play with.

If there’s a girl in the Xiao Family willing to marry you, let her do it,” Xiaoqing said, her brow furrowed.

“If you’ve come all this way to Sunan City just in hopes of my forgiveness and to take me back with you, I think you’ll be disappointed.

Leave, I don’t want to see you again.”
