Chapter 46: Chapter 45 Miss Loses Her Temper

"I’m not wearing clothes?" Lin Tian looked down and indeed had no shirt on. The previous excitement had seemed like a dream, but luckily, he reacted quickly enough to continue, "Oh, that’s because I have a habit of sleeping naked."

The little girl took a step back in shock, her eyes wide as she exclaimed, "What kind of disgusting habit is that? Have you no shame!"

"Second Miss, what’s wrong with sleeping naked? It’s good for development, really. I suggest you try sleeping naked too." Lin Tian didn’t actually have the habit of sleeping naked; he was just trying to divert her attention.

He still needed to go out and get medicine for Zhang Lingyu, and scaring Xiao Manxuan away would be for the best. However, Xiao Manxuan wasn’t scared off; instead, Zhang Lingyu, who was in the bed, got the fright of her life.

Knowing that Lin Tian was naked in the bed every day made Zhang Lingyu feel uncomfortable, especially since her clothes were torn, and she was covered by his quilt, essentially making her sleep naked too, which felt even more awkward.

If Xiao Manxuan hadn’t been in the parlor, she would’ve gotten up despite the pain.

Seeing Xiao Manxuan eyeing him warily, as if on guard against a wolf, Lin Tian took the opportunity to say, "Second Miss, if there’s nothing else, I’ll continue sleeping naked."

"Tch, Lin Tian, I’m asking you, why didn’t you eat dinner? Where did you go?" Xiao Manxuan gave him a scornful look, not deterred by Lin Tian’s talk of "naked sleeping."

Facing this bold little girl, Lin Tian knew that without a clear explanation, she wouldn’t leave. He couldn’t tell her he had gone to kill Uncle Zhao, so he fabricated an excuse, "An old colleague looked for me. I had something urgent to deal with, and as soon as it was done, I hurried back."

"Oh, so you must not have eaten, right? Look, what’s this?" Xiao Manxuan brought her hand from behind to the front, holding a thermal lunch box.

Turned out the little girl wasn’t there to probe into Lin Tian’s activities but to bring him dinner. In that moment, Lin Tian was truly moved. She was a pampered daughter from the Xiao Family, and he was just a bodyguard. She was usually somewhat willful too.

Who would have thought Xiao Manxuan could have such a considerate side? Lin Tian looked at her, wondering if he should go ahead and make the little girl his own.

Last time, in front of his classmates, Lin Tian announced that Xiao Manxuan was his woman. Although he harbored that thought too, it was also meant to protect her and to warn Sun Decai.

Moreover, she was only eighteen, quite young, and her temperament had not fully settled. Mostly, Lin Tian’s intentions were protective. But in that moment, a faint romantic interest blossomed in his heart.

Unable to withstand Lin Tian’s intense gaze, Xiao Manxuan lowered her head shyly and murmured, "This dinner was saved by the auntie. Eat it while it’s hot, okay?"

"Thank you!" Lin Tian said sincerely as he took the lunch box.

"Hmph, it’s not easy to get a thank you out of you, Lin Tian," Xiao Manxuan said, raising her pretty face and huffing.

"Who said that? Not only do I want to say thank you, but I also want to devour you, this delicious little girl," Lin Tian leaned in close to her pretty face.

"You jerk, I’m not talking to you anymore!" Xiao Manxuan’s face flushed, and she turned to open the door, intending to run off.

When Lin Tian saw her trying to leave, that was exactly what he wanted since he was in a rush to go get the medicine. But as soon as Xiao Manxuan opened the door, she didn’t leave; instead, she backed into the room again. He found it odd and turned to look outside the door. The Miss had walked in.

What’s with tonight? One after another, they all came running here. Lin Tian was utterly bewildered. Three beautiful women gathered in his room at night; Lin Tian should have been happy, but why couldn’t he muster any joy?

Especially the last to come in, Xiao Manxue, with a stern face, her eyes coldly staring at Lin Tian.

"Sister..." Xiao Manxuan murmured like a child who had done something wrong, bowing her head.

"Xuanxuan, what have I told you, stay away from this bodyguard in private! Go upstairs first," Xiao Manxue said harshly, her impression of Lin Tian, who had messed with her underwear, was very bad.

"Oh..." Xiao Manxuan glanced at Lin Tian and then left the room.

This Miss was somewhat baffling. Lin Tian, in a rush to leave and with a very bad tone, said to her, "Miss, step aside, I need to go out."

"Hmph, going out at night, probably to enjoy yourself," Xiao Manxue snorted, showing no intention of moving aside.

God damn it, what is wrong with this Miss? Seeing that she wouldn’t move, Lin Tian raised his voice and said, "What I do outside is none of your business. If you have something to say, say it, otherwise let me through."

He had no patience to waste time with her. So what if she was a Miss? Did that mean she could be so overbearing?

"Lin Tian, I don’t know what sweet nothings you’ve been whispering to Manxuan to make her take a liking to you, but she’s still young. You best stay away from her!" Xiao Manxue stated coldly.

"I’m an honest man, I only speak the truth, no sweet nothings. As for the favorable impression, it’s simply because the Second Miss has few friends and happens to get along with me," Lin Tian replied, not backing down.

Lin Tian was also very annoyed with the Miss’s temperament. It’s not like he had done anything wrong; did she need to be like this? Xiao Manxue was even more infuriated by his attitude, wishing she could beat up the man in front of her.

If she weren’t angry with him, Lin Tian thought to himself that her angry appearance wasn’t half bad.

"Just getting along? Then why did she just bring you dinner? I have never seen Xuanxuan treat any man so well since we were kids. You must have sweet-talked her into liking you. You think just because Xuanxuan is young she’s easy to bully, right? I, as her sister, can see through you clearly!"

The more the woman talked, the more agitated she became, treating Lin Tian like he was a bad man who had deceived her sister’s feelings. Especially since Lin Tian had barged into her room and played with her lingerie, which she found particularly intolerable.

Of course, this idea was wishful thinking on her part. Lin Tian had merely picked the lingerie up to look at it and it was purely coincidental he emerged from the bathroom undressed, causing her to misunderstand him like this.

"Miss, ask yourself why the Second Miss gets along with me. If I were all sweet talk, wouldn’t she, being as clever as she is, have seen through it?" Lin Tian couldn’t contain his irritation. He was tired of being accused of being all talk and no substance.

As a zombie of all things, if he really ill-intended, he would have gotten Xiao Manxuan into bed long ago, instead of maintaining a proper relationship as they were now.

Xiao Manxue was left speechless by his words, obviously unable to retort that her sister wasn’t smart or that she was a fool.

Seeing she had nothing to say, Lin Tian continued, "Miss, the Xiao Family’s business might indeed be important, but what can compare to one’s own family? You and Mrs. Xiao have been busy with the family business, but have you ever thought about Xiao Manxuan? She never tells you how lonely she feels, because she’s well-behaved and sensible. I truly understand the loneliness in her heart, and that’s why she favors me. It’s that simple!"

After saying so much in one breath, Lin Tian suddenly felt a little tired inside. He didn’t want to explain anymore and just looked at her indifferently.
