We Are Destined to Meet

26. I’m Not Jealous!

Translator: Iris Guo

The legendary Mr. Long was Ms. Liu’s son?!

The good-for-nothing son?

The wretch who wet his pants at the age of six, cried after being beaten by a little girl when he was seven, and was kissed by his teacher at the age of eight?

I was dazed. The messy information made my mind go blank. I needed to get this straight.

I still felt fuzzy. Ms. Liu kept shaking my shoulders with her hands, “Look! This is my son. Is he handsome?”

“…” I stopped looking at Ling Xiao and cringed, “Ms. Liu, I suddenly feel sick. I want to go back first…”

Ms. Liu looked at me worriedly, “Are you okay? Do you need me to send you to hospital?”

“No, I’m fine.” I shook my hand in an instant, “I can go back by myself. Your son’s marriage is more important. You don’t have to worry about me.”

Ms. Liu saw that I was clutching my stomach and suffering pain. She decidedly stood up, “I will go with you. They can have a chitchat themselves. They might have a crush on each other and get things done tonight.”

“It’s okay. I can go by myself.” I shook my head violently and was about to go out.

I had to walk past Ling Xiao’s booth before I went out. Two persons would more easily catch his attention!

I pulled my hat down over my eyes, and covered half of my face with the sunglasses. When I passed them, I glanced at the girl sitting opposite Ling Xiao subconsciously.

“Ling Xiao, you know I always have a crush on you. Can’t we just go back to everything the way it was?” Staring at Ling Xiao, the girl was a little sad.

Ling Xiao didn’t say anything, but his cold expression meant everything.

I felt strange. Ms. Liu said this girl was newly selected by her, but it seemed that Ling Xiao and the girl had known each other before. The beauty was trying to patch things up with Ling Xiao.

As I was dumbfounded, Ling Xiao rose to his feet out of the blue and grabbed my hand. He smiled at me, “Honey, you are here! Let’s go back together.”

I was speechless.

‘What? Honey?’

Ling Xiao clutched my wrist, looking down at me. His cold expression softened to some extent. Though his voice was indifferent, I could sense a hint of fondness.

I got goosebumps. I wrapped myself tightly as a mummy. How could he recognize me?

I jerked away my hand as fear came over me. Disguising my voice, I yelled at him, “I’m just passing through. Don’t touch me, or I will call the police!”

Ling Xiao couldn’t stop smiling. He didn’t let go of me, but dragged me near him.

‘Fuck! I’m done!’

When I was thinking about how to get rid of him, he stretched his long arms and pressed me against his chest. He said in a hoarse voice, “Well, are you jealous?”

‘You dickhead! I’m not jealous!’

‘Do I become a scapegoat?’

The beauty fixed her woeful eyes on me, which made me uncomfortable. I tried my best to push away Ling Xiao’s body, but in vain.

“Ling Xiao, don’t be an arse! Let go of Huan!” Ms. Liu reprimanded him. I let out a sigh of relief.

Ling Xiao was obedient. He instantly got his hands off me. I stepped back, but I didn’t expect this would happen!

Warm liquid gushed out down my legs. I came to realize that it was my period. I squatted instantly, trying to hide my embarrassment.

“What’s wrong?” Ling Xiao was serious. He thought I was injured. Holding me up, he rushed out of the café.

I repeated that it was my period in the car, and told him I didn’t have to go to hospital. Ling Xiao didn’t believe me. He was so nervous as if I had been diagnosed as a cancer patient. He kept accelerating and drove me to the hospital.

I gripped the door of his car and refused to step into the hospital. ‘Does anyone go to hospital because of her period? I will be laughed at!’

I kept talking him out of it. My words finally worked. Ling Xiao drove me back to Ms. Liu’s place.

The pensive expression of Ling Xiao made me think that I was mortally ill.

When we were at Ms. Liu’s place, I was suddenly aware of another serious question, which was how to explain the relationship between Ling Xiao and me.

Finding Ms. Liu was in fury and her hands were rested on her hips, I roared inwardly, ‘How can I forget this?’

When I considered how to make the explanation, Ms. Liu rushed over and slapped Ling Xiao on the back of his head.

“Stupid thing! You screwed up the blind date and picked on Huan. I want to beat your ass!”

‘Well…’

It was different from what I thought.

‘Why doesn’t Ms. Liu denounce me first?’

According to Ms. Liu, I knew that Ling Xiao always messed up his blind dates. Hence, Ms. Liu thought it was still his fault, not mine.

Ling Xiao turned a deaf ear to Ms. Liu’s reproach. He said he needed to buy something and left, which really pissed Ms. Liu off.

Observing this scene, I noticed they loved each other though they had a quarrel when they met. They warmed my heart.

When I dealt with the blood stains, Ms. Liu went into my room with a plastic bag in her hands. Suppressing a smile, she handed it over to me.

“Ms. Liu, what’s this?” I just changed my clothes and washed my skirt. Looking at the huge bag, I was puzzled.

“Take a look at it. My son just bought it for you.”

I fumbled inside the bag. It was soft. ‘Is it a bag of sanitary pads?’

I then opened the bag and my eyes widened.

Ms. Liu craned her neck to catch a glimpse of that. She couldn’t hold back her laughter and started to deride her son.

Ling Xiao bought me a bag of diapers!
