<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Xie Dingyuan remained expressionless.
Zhong Ziang also turned around; his phone screen was still lit, clearly showing the picture of Jiang Fuyue.
“Uncle, why did you come out?”
Cen Jiuxiao: “Did we talk too loudly?”
Did they disturb someone?
Xie Dingyuan glanced indifferently at Cen Jiuxiao, finally fixing his gaze on Zhong Ziang’s face. “What were you talking about just now?”
“Nothing…” Zhong Ziang’s eyes seemed vacant. “Just, casual chat, right?”
“Ah?” Cen Jiuxiao received the hint and immediately put on a nonchalant expression, nodding. “Yes, just casual chatting.”
But he couldn’t help thinking, did Uncle’s gloomy expression have something to do with Zhong Ziang mentioning his “old age”? Or perhaps… the “old cabbage”?
Xie Dingyuan sneered, his gaze sharp.
“Brother Ang…” Cen Jiuxiao swallowed nervously; Uncle looked a bit scary.
Zhong Ziang muttered under his breath, “We were just chatting casually…” He wasn’t lying.
Instinctively, Zhong Ziang didn’t want to mention Jiang Fuyue in front of Xie Dingyuan.
“Ah Xiao, you speak.”
Suddenly called out, Cen Jiuxiao was a bit dazed. “Uncle, Uncle… say what?”
“The content of your conversation.”
“It’s just…” His eyes rolled, his expression tangled. Should he say it or not?
Xie Dingyuan said, “What, are you hesitating to speak ill of me?”
“No, no, we didn’t say anything bad about you!” Cen Jiuxiao quickly denied. “We were talking about Brother Ang’s girlfriend!”
Xie Dingyuan looked at them, his eyes slightly darkened. “Girlfriend?”
Cen Jiuxiao breathed a sigh of relief, immediately throwing Zhong Ziang under the bus. “Yes, yes, Brother Ang’s girlfriend is incredibly beautiful.”
“Oh?” Xie Dingyuan raised an eyebrow, then turned to Zhong Ziang. “When did you get a girlfriend? Why didn’t I know?”
Cen Jiuxiao, eager to sell out Zhong Ziang completely, quickly chimed in. “How could someone in an early relationship voluntarily inform their parents? Brother Ang isn’t that foolish.”
Xie Dingyuan: “….”
Zhong Ziang: “…… Your brain is full of bubbles!”
Cen Jiuxiao felt increasingly guilty as he thought more, feeling that it was because of himself that he had exposed Zhong Ziang’s secret.
He then attempted to discuss with Xie Dingyuan: “Uncle, can you help Brother Ang keep the secret? If Auntie finds out, what should we do?”
“Of course I can,” Xie Dingyuan smiled and readily agreed.
Cen Jiuxiao’s face lit up with joy, even Zhong Ziang couldn’t help but glance at him.
The h*ll with this old uncle, finally doing something useful today?
But the next moment—
“However, you have to tell me first, who is Brother Ang’s girlfriend?”
Without giving Zhong Ziang a chance to stop him, Cen Jiuxiao snatched the phone away and lit up the screen, then pushed it straight to Xie Dingyuan’s face: “It’s her! Isn’t she beautiful?”
Xie Dingyuan smiled and graciously nodded. “Beautiful.”
“Brother Ang, Uncle praised your girlfriend’s looks!”
Zhong Ziang wished he could tape this guy’s mouth shut.
“Is she your girlfriend?” Xie Dingyuan asked, a smile in his eyes.
“Of course!” Before Zhong Ziang could speak, Cen Jiuxiao immediately took over. “Brother Ang personally went to deliver chicken soup to her this morning!”
“Oh? Really?” Xie Dingyuan’s tone was ambiguous.
Cen Jiuxiao nodded heavily, acting like a spokesperson. “There’s still half a pot left inside. I’ll serve you a bowl for dinner!”
Xie Dingyuan patted his head, his smile deepening. “Sure.”
Cen Jiuxiao exclaimed in his heart: “Uncle just patted my head?!” He felt so happy.
Zhong Ziang: “…” He wanted to shut this guy up so badly.
“Ah Xiao, you go downstairs first. I have something to say to Brother Ang.”
“Okay.” Cen Jiuxiao obediently went downstairs.
As soon as Zhong Ziang opened his mouth to call him back, the kid disappeared in an instant.
“Since when did Jiang Fuyue become your girlfriend, huh?” The tone lifted at the end, a bit teasing, mixed with a hint of icy indifference.
Zhong Ziang felt his scalp tingle; he whispered, “… Anyway, sooner or later.”
Xie Dingyuan sneered, “In other words, not yet.”
He lowered his head guiltily.
“Fabricating lies out of thin air, making baseless accusations, have you satisfied your desire to gossip? Where does that leave the reputation of the girl?”
Xie Dingyuan’s severity caught Zhong Ziang off guard.
Zhong Ziang was stunned, “…Is it really that serious?”
“Hmph, do you know what your behavior would be called a hundred years ago?”
“What… would it be called?”
“Crimes of defamation, punishable by imprisonment.”
“….”
Xie Dingyuan looked at him deeply. “If you like her, go pursue her. But your methods should be transparent, and your heart should be upright. Otherwise, why would that girl be interested in someone like you?”
Someone like you Zhong Ziang: “?”
“Enough, just scram.”
Zhong Ziang turned to leave but suddenly halted, then turned back to face Xie Dingyuan, “Uncle, you don’t object to me pursuing Jiang Fuyue?”
Xie Dingyuan remained expressionless, “When did I ever object?”
“Just earlier…”
“Besides, what right do I have to object?”
Zhong Ziang’s expression brightened, “So, can I really pursue her?”
Xie Dingyuan coldly lifted his chin, “Yes.”
“Yes! I’ll message her right away!”
“…You have her WeChat?”
“Of course!”
“Oh,” Xie Dingyuan remained solemn, indifferent, seemingly unconcerned.
However…
After Zhong Ziang left, Xie Dingyuan’s previously calm brow suddenly furrowed.
