Chapter 1538: Jealousy
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xiao Shenbin, who had planned to leave a few minutes earlier, did not expect Feng Shengxuan to come knocking on his door before his people could break the firewall down. When he saw the message, he was dismayed.
Did they not say that Feng Shengxuan had a crush on their sister-in-law? Xiao Shenbin was pursuing Bai Liyue; he really could not understand why this Feng Shengxuan was overextending his control over here too.
“Miss Bai, we’re considered friends, at least, right?”
Xiao Shenbin, who was originally discussing matters related to business, suddenly asked this question.
Bai Liyue did not suspect anything and nodded straightforwardly. “Yeah.”
After all, Young Master Xiao was Chi Yang’s sworn brother while Bai Liyue was Nuannuan’s sworn sister. There was nothing wrong in calling each other friends, right?
Xiao Shenbin’s gaze softened. “Then… can I call you Yue’er or Lil Yue?”
“You can call me Luna.”
Luna meant “the moon” in the first place—it was almost the equivalent of calling her Yue’er.
“But I’m from Camino…”
Bai Liyue was never a person to instigate conflict. Noticing that Xiao Shenbin was unwilling to call her by her nickname, she did not insist further and said, “Up to you.”
Hearing footsteps coming up the stairs, Xiao Shenbin utilized his newly obtained permission.
“Yue’er, where do you want to eat lunch later?”
Following Huang Ziyu up the stairs, Feng Shengxuan stopped dead in his tracks instantly.
Yue’er?!
He could feel something crashing against his mind. As though there was a layer of barrier, he sensed another crash happening.
Feng Shengxuan’s face turned even bleaker.
Even Feng Shengxuan himself never called Bai Liyue by this name before. Xiao Shenbin, this cunning old wolf! How shameless could he be?
Also, that stupid woman, Bai Liyue! Had she not realized that the man was taking advantage of her?!
“Looks like you’re pretty good at picking up girls, Young Master Xiao! I’m surprised to hear how quickly you’ve gotten close to Miss Bai.”
Feng Shengxuan’s words reached the balcony before he reached the balcony physically himself. When he finally reached the top of the balcony, he saw that they were only drinking tea, eating dimsum, and enjoying the view of the river below. That strange surge of annoyance instantly disappeared.
However, he recalled how he went through each door here and even utilized the satellites to search for her. Yet, this woman did not bother picking up his calls and came here to flirt with this man. This thought gave rise to Feng Shengxuan’s newly dissipated anger.
Xiao Shenbin was a little displeased when he heard what Feng Shengxuan said. He solemnly said in front of Bai Liyue, “Chairman Feng, it’s fine to use the word ‘pick up girls’ on others, but it’s not right to use it on me. Anyone who knows me personally will never accuse me of being promiscuous—I’m serious with my feelings.”
Then, he turned to Bai Liyue and said, “And I’ve never been in a relationship before, so to me, there’s no such thing as picking up girls to me. When it comes to my feelings, I think I’m one to stay loyal to the end.”
Bai Liyue started to feel slightly awkward.
After all, this was the first time she had come out to drink tea and chat. Although she had the intention to give Xiao Shenbin a chance, she would much rather progress to be slow and develop feelings over time.
Therefore, having to deal with Xiao Shenbin’s raw expression of his feelings, Bai Liyue could not help feeling awkward.
Even so, Xiao Shenbin did not mention Bai Liyue’s name in this statement, so there was nothing she could say either.
Feng Shengxuan glared at the man who dared to pursue Bai Liyue so blatantly in front of himself, as if he was dead. While Xiao Shenbin spoke with such confidence, Bai Liyue seemed to be unaffected—she did not refute Xiao Shenbin even when he gave such an unfiltered statement.. Feng Shengxuan nearly failed to suppress that indescribable frustration in his heart.
