I liked straightforward people, but I didn’t like straightforward and self-righteous people. Probably Dong Xiaoye had been harassed by some young masters too many times, so it made this Wang Jie person become very jealous. He probably could no longer stand it anymore after seeing that I was talking to Dong Xiaoye. However, as a policeman, he shouldn’t humiliate me before he even found out what was going on, right? Even if I was a nice guy, I could also get angry. The most ridiculous thing was that he wanted to pretend to be Dong Xiaoye’s boyfriend. It made me feel both funny and angry.
What was happening tonight? First, Mo Fei openly declared that she was my girlfriend, and then Dong Xiaoye casually lied that she was my wife. And now, the guy in front of me actually said that he was my “wife’s” boyfriend. . .
I retracted my hand in embarrassment. Feeling a little annoyed, I pretended to be dumb and asked with a smile, “Oh? I don’t know who Xiaoye’s boyfriend is.”
Dong Xiaoye covered her face with one hand, couldn’t bear to see Wang Jie making a fool of himself. She didn’t even bother to deny her relationship with him.
Wang Jie saw Dong Xiaoye’s reaction, but he didn’t understand why she was reacting that way. He still stood with his back straight, his chin up, and said proudly, “he is in front of you.”
“It’s you!?” I pretended to be surprised.
Wang Jie thought he had helped Dong Xiaoye to get rid of me, and said triumphantly, “Yes!”
This guy said that I was shameless, but clearly, he was not much better than me. I deliberately pretended to have a cold expression and asked Dong Xiaoye with a reproachful tone, “You were afraid that I would be jealous when someone invited you to dance earlier. But now someone said that he is your boyfriend, are you not afraid of me being jealous? Xiaoye, how many times did you cheat on me? And how many men do you have exactly? Forget it. Let’s get divorced. . .”
“Get lost. How dare you make fun of me? When did I cheat on you?… Wait, no, when did I marry you?”
“Eh? Didn’t you cry and beg me to take responsibility yesterday?” I patted my chest, let out a sigh of relief, and smiled, “So you were joking, then I’m relieved. . .”
“You wish!” Not only did Dong Xiaoye lose the fight in the duel yesterday, but because of the accident, I unintentionally took advantage of her. She even threatened me that if I did not have a fair fight with her again, she would tell Liusu that I had molested her and she wanted me to take responsibility. So when she heard I wanted to use this opportunity to annul the agreement, how would she let me do it? But as soon as the words were spoken, she immediately felt that something was wrong. It sounded like she really wanted me to take responsibility. Her pretty face instantly blushed, “Do you want to die? !”
Sister Tiger was really dense in some respects. Of course, I knew that she was cursing me for being too cunning, but in Wang Jie’s ears, this sentence had a completely different meaning. He bit his lips very hard, his body was trembling. When he opened his mouth again, even his voice was also stuttering, “you, Xiaoye, you two are. . .”
Dong Xiaoye pinched my arm very hard. My eyes almost teared up because of the pain. Then she said to Wang Jie in an angry tone, “He is my friend. Don’t listen to his nonsense, and don’t talk nonsense to him.”
Although his lie was exposed in front of me, this Wang Jie person seemed to be more worried about Dong Xiaoye’s relationship with me. “friend? What kind of friend?”
Dong Xiaoye was dazed for a second. She then coldly said to Wang Jie, who cared too much about her private life, “A friend is a friend, what do you mean what kind of friend?”
What Mo Fei said earlier was still lingering in my mind. I really didn’t want to think about it anymore, so I wanted to make some jokes to distract myself. Although I knew that this kind of joke was not appropriate at the moment, I still couldn’t help but blurt out, “Of course, it’s boyfriend.”
Earlier, Dong Xiaoye pretended to be my wife and suspected my relationship with Mo Fei, so I also wanted to use this opportunity to get even with her.
“You really want to die, don’t you?” Dong Xiaoye kicked my shin with pointed high heels, blushing with embarrassment, but she did not deny my words in front of Wang Jie. Instead, she glanced at the two glasses of grape juice in his hand and said sternly, “Wang Jie, remember what Captain Lin reminded us before? Regardless of whether the content of the report letter is true or false, we must treat it as true, and we must be very cautious. We are not here to play! Go back to the place that you need to keep your eyes on, and don’t always come to me. Also. . .”
Dong Xiaoye glanced at me, and then rebuked him in a deep voice, “Pay attention to your task. Fortunately, he is my friend. Otherwise, it would’ve exposed our identity and purpose and caused panic among the guests. Can you bear the consequences if that really happened? I’m telling you, I don’t care if you don’t want your job or not, but please don’t drag me into it!”
Dong Xiaoye’s words were really not polite. It seemed that she didn’t like Wang Jie at all. . .
“Xiaoye, I. . .”
Wang Jie still wanted to say something, but Dong Xiaoye didn’t want to listen to it. She pulled me towards the dancing crowd, “Chu Nan, dance with me.”
“Dance? I don’t know how to. . .” This woman was so strong, I couldn’t even break free. How on earth did she still have that much strength when she was wearing high heels?
“Neither do I,” Dong Xiaoye pressed her voice and said, “I just want to avoid him. That guy is so annoying. He looks like a nice man, but he is even more petty-minded than a woman. And he even wants to chase me. So disgusting!”
This woman. . . was really ruthless. Why did I feel like she was like Yuan Yuan? I understood that she didn’t like the other person, but there was no need to be so rude to him, right?
“Although he is not as handsome as me, I think he is still pretty good. You are also not young anymore, you should really lower your standard a bit. You don’t have to find a man who looks exactly like me. That will be very difficult. Handsome guys like me were basically taken away by women when they were seventeen or eighteen. . . Ouch~!”
Dong Xiaoye definitely stepped on my feet with her heel deliberately. She simply snorted coldly, not even bother to say anything to despise my narcissistic words. She glanced at Wang Jie with her beautiful eyes, seeing him finishing two drinks in two gulps and still standing there glaring at me angrily. “His conditions are not bad, but he is too narrow-minded, and. . . How to put it, you have also seen it too. He would always find some ways to take advantage of me, pestering me all day long. He also talks nonsense to others in private, saying that I am his girlfriend. The worst thing is that he even gave gifts to my superiors, begging them to match him up with me. Because of him, I became a laughing stock in the criminal police team. Everyone thought my superiors were worried that no one wanted me.” She said in a low voice.
I was speechless. . . Dong Xiaoye should be twenty-six this year. She was indeed at an age when she would be very sensitive about the topic of marriage. Coupled with the strong and aggressive temperament, Wang Jie’s behavior undoubtedly touched her bottom line. No wonder she would dislike him so much. . . But then again, asking her superior to be a matchmaker? To be able to come up with this kind of idea, this guy was also really something else. . .
No matter what, this woman’s temperament was really a problem, I couldn’t help but sigh, “As I said, you should really lower your standard. If you delay it a few more years, it will be very hard for you to choose. . .”
Dong Xiaoye glared at me and said, “What did you say? !”
“I said this because we are friends. If it was someone else, I wouldn’t even bother to talk to them,” I said. “Sister Xiaoye, do you know how the leftover women are made? It’s because their standard is too high, always complaining that they haven’t found their perfect men. But what they don’t know is that they are wasting their precious time. When they finally lower their standard, there will be no one left around them, let alone the perfect man. Your condition is really great, so you should really hurry up and find one.”
My true thought in my mind was, “You need to hurry up to find a boyfriend, so you won’t be thinking about beating me up every day. . .’
“The women in their thirties are no longer as popular as the women in their twenties,” my words may have touched Dong Xiaoye’s heart, she said gloomily, “I also know that, but. . . I am not in the mood to get into a relationship yet. I want to find someone. I swore that I would never get married until I found that person.”
“Find someone? A man?” I had a sudden realization, “Oh… Then no wonder you are not in a hurry. . .”
“It’s my elder sister! What were you thinking?” Dong Xiaoye rolled her eyes at me, and her eyes instantly lost cheerful luster. The flowing sadness made me suddenly remember that she seemed to have mentioned her elder sister to me before.
“Your elder sister? Didn’t she get married and have a kid already?” I remembered Dong Xiaoye said that her elder sister’s child was almost as old as Chu Yuan.
“Mhm. . .” Dong Xiaoye seemed to be immersed in certain sad memories, and said quietly, “Fifteen years ago, she ran away from home with her child. . .”
“Run away?” I was dazed. Missing for fifteen years? In other words, at that time, Dong Xiaoye was only. . . Eleven years old? ! No wonder her face was so complicated every time she mentioned her elder sister.
“Actually, it was the second time she ran away from home, and it was all because of that man. . . Eh? Why am I telling you this?” Dong Xiaoye also felt that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, and she forced herself to smile and said, “My elder sister told me that you must be cautious when looking for a man. If you don’t meet someone you like or someone who really likes you, don’t rush to marry someone you don’t like. So, don’t worry about me. You should worry about yourself. Huh! Liusu and Miss Mo, you are such a playboy.”
Er. . . Dong Xiaoye’s words directly pointed out what I deliberately tried to avoid, causing a lot of troubling thoughts and worries to pop up in my mind. . .
Dong Xiaoye and I both didn’t know how to dance. We only moved slowly and laterally like two crabs in the dance crowd. Earlier we had topics, so we didn’t feel anything, but now, because we both had something on our minds, we both fell silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became very awkward.
I had experienced Dong Xiaoye’s fists. They punched very hard, but her hands were very small. They felt soft when I held them in my palms. It did not feel like the hand that should be holding guns. My other hand gently embraced her waist. Although I was just pressing against her back lightly, it was enough to feel the slenderness of her waist. It turned out that the ferocious Dong Xiaoye’s figure was so dainty and exquisite. I really didn’t know how this body could unleash that powerful strength.
According to what Dong Xiaoye said just now, her elder sister ran away from home because of a man. So it was no wonder that she didn’t like Wang Jie, who used dishonest tricks to chase her. She seemed to want to show that she disliked him on purpose, so she also pressed her body very close to me. It was so close that I could sense her perfume. When I lowered my head subconsciously, I immediately saw the soft and smooth skin under her fair-skinned neck. In addition, because it was a low-cut design, I was able to see how plump her chests were, and how sexy and deep her cleavage was. It even stunned me for a moment. . .
