Chapter 62: Acting Intimately as If Nobody Was Around

“What do you do for a living, Mr. Lin?” asked Xue Haolin.

Leng Yihuang blurted out without a second thought. “Software development. It’s not worthy of mentioning.”

“Do you have any hobbies in your spare time?”

“Well, I like photo-shopping photos.”

Xue Haolin cocked his brows and asked with a laugh, “Your hobby is very special.”

“It’s funny. You don’t like it, perhaps because you haven’t found the fun, I guess,” said Leng Yihuang meaningfully without any guilt shown on his face (after all, he photo-shopped Xue Haolin’s photo last night).

Leng Yihuang was talking to Xue Haolin but strictly grasped Lin Xiaomi’s hand reaching out to the lobsters.

Both Xue Haolin and Lin Xin’er got confused by his behavior.

Only Lin Xiaomi slightly frowned and looked back at him with a hint of resistance.

Never had she eaten such big lobsters in her life. She really wanted to have a taste.

Thus, she exerted more force and tried to set her hand free.

Leng Yihuang said with his words full of love even if he sighed, “I’ve said it many times you can’t eat seafood, for there are cuts on your hand, you little greedy kitten.”

Lin Xiaomi felt very embarrassed and didn’t dare to do it again, submissively eating those Leng Yihuang allowed her to eat.

Leng Yihuang poured her another glass of orange juice and said gently to coax her, “Angry? I’ll take you here to eat lobsters once you get a full recovery, okay?”

His tone sounded like he was coaxing a kid.

He indeed considered her a kid.

Lin Xiaomi was overwhelmed with shame and bowed her head down without the courage to look at the two people whose eyes, she believed, were full of sarcasm.

By contrary, the jealous almost drove Lin Xin’er crazy.

She watched the man she loved take care of Lin Xiaomi and don’t give her a look.

Her envy almost killed her.

She was more beautiful than Lin Xiaomi.

Why did he not look at her?

Having long stayed outside, Lin Xin’er hadn’t felt well. Now, stung by her envy, she coughed violently. Since she had no strength, she coughed like an old dying woman, which made the hearers feel uncomfortable, especially when the sounds came from a woman in her early twenties.

Lin Xiaomi turned blushed, which startled Xue Haolin. He slightly patted her on her back, only to find that his behaviors let her cough more violently, so he was at a loss and didn’t know what to do.

When she tried her best to stop coughing, she feebly fell into her chair. She raised her head and found that Leng Yihuang tried to keep away from her with Lin Xiaomi in his arms. Such a behavior deeply hurt her sensitive heart.

She was indisposed to be said that she was in poor shape, so in front of people, she tried her best to endure it even if she felt sick.

She hated it the most if people saw such an appearance of her. But today, she exposed all of these to them.

As her eyes turned slightly red, her blushed face looked a little purple.

“Any better? Are you still uncomfortable? Drink some water and I’ll send you home,” whispered Xue Haolin softly in her ears. Although he frowned, he didn’t find her disgusting at all.

Seeing this, she felt much better, but she couldn’t hold onto anymore and thereby slightly nodded.

Xue Haolin beckoned a waiter and wanted to foot the bill.

Leng Yihuang said waving his hand, “I’ll pay it. You can leave first.”

Xue Haolin nodded, glanced at Lin Xiaomi for an instant, and then looked away. Afterward, he walked outside with Lin Xin’er in his arms.

Today, he was stunned, too. Although he knew that Lin Xiaomi wasn’t in good health, he thought she was a little weaker than ordinary people. Judging from the situation she coughed, he just learned that she was more severe than he thought.

Looking at his wrinkled brows, Lin Xin’er asked with a trace of weakness, “Did I scare you just now? Will you loathe me?”

He was thinking about what illness she suffered and then said rubbing her hair upon suddenly hearing this, “You silly girl, why do I loathe you? In the world, you saw the most embarrassing and dirtiest side of me but never walked out on me. Xin’er, I’ll never loathe you.”

Hearing him mention his childhood again, she subconsciously frowned. On second thought, she didn’t care about it so long as he never knew the truth.

She, hence, said with a nod, “Thank you, Haolin.”

He asked with worries, “Xin’er, what on earth is wrong with you? You said you were weak, didn’t you?”

She unconsciously hid the truth. “When I was a kid, I had a fever but didn’t get a full recovery, so I’ve become weak since then. It’s no big deal, actually. I usually pay attention to it, but I’ve had a cold these days. I indeed scared myself just now, let alone you.”

Speaking of which, she pouted.

She said those reasonably and didn’t look like she told a lie. Besides, he didn’t think that she needed to hide her illness from him, so he believed her.

At the restaurant where they left, Leng Yihuang immediately asked a waiter over to remove all the food away and then took Lin Xiaomi to another table before ordering two quick meals.

Lin Xiaomi couldn’t help laughing when seeing his wrinkled brows and darkened face.

He asked Xue Haolin to take Lin Xin’er away as soon as possible, which everyone would think that he worried about Lin Xin’er.

However, only she knew what a clean freak he was. He indeed detested Lin Xin’er and wanted Lin Xin’er out of his sight fast.

He even didn’t allow her to eat the food again with the reason that the food was full of germs Lin Xin’er coughed out.

Though she thought that he was a little exaggerating, she was relaxed with relief, for she knew that he disliked Lin Xin’er very much.

When the food was served again, he got full and started to dally with her.

“It was Xue Haolin just now. Tut tut, what a disappointment! He looks much older.”

She said, “Does he?”

“Yes, he does. Look at his forehead wrinkles and canthus wrinkles! Doesn’t he look like an old man who has been through the vicissitudes of life? Tut tut, if you stand with him, you’ll look like his niece.”

She felt a little speechless, for he didn’t even blink when slandering others.

Xue Haolin looked exactly the same as the photo. She just took a photo of Xue today that didn’t need photo-shopping.

Seeing her say no word, he continued to defame Xue Haolin. “Did you see he cared about Lin Xin’er very much? In my eyes, they’re perfect for each other. One looks like an uncle, and the other one looks like an aunt. Their ages are matched.”

“Well, if you stand with him, he’ll look like your uncle, so you’d better stay away from him next time.”
