Chapter 12: An Unexpected Kiss

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xiao Ying froze and blinked innocently at Cheng Yang.

“What’s wrong, brother?”

Cheng Yang said nothing and led Xiao Ying to the exit.

Xiao Ying looked at Cheng Yang in surprise and said, “Brother, you’re awesome. You found the exit so quickly!”

The corners of Cheng Yang’s mouth twitched. He had underestimated this girl’s shamelessness.

“Ying’er, let’s go.”

Xiao Lingbo suddenly appeared and called out to Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying said goodbye to Cheng Yang warmly.

When Xiao Ying ran towards Xiao Lingbo, the amulet kept clamoring in her mind.

“Master, no! I’m almost full! Master, just a little more!”

“What can I do? I can’t stay here any longer.”

“Master, go and kiss him. I’ll get full immediately.”

“I’d be courting death!”

Xiao Ying completely refused.

She was really annoyed by the amulet.

Xiao Ying stopped running towards Xiao Lingbo and turned around to run towards Cheng Yang instead.

Stopping in front of Cheng Yang, Xiao Ying took in the height difference between the two.

She calculated the possibility of performing a successful ambush.

It was 0!

Having no choice, Xiao Ying waved at Cheng Yang, indicating for him to lower his head.

Cheng Yang wanted to know what this girl was up to again.

She was trying to match his movements.

He had just lowered his head when he felt a soft touch on his cheek.

Even when Xiao Ying had run far away, Cheng Yang was still frozen to the spot.

Touching his cheek, which seemed to be still wet with saliva, Cheng Yang’s body stiffened even more.

Xiao Ying had quickly run away after doing something bad.

She only hoped that once she had enough energy, she would never see him again.

She was afraid that he would kill her the next time they met.

“Ying’er, you know Mr. Cheng?”

Xiao Lingbo paused when he said Mr. Cheng.

He was obviously not used to saying that.

Looking at Xiao Lingbo, Xiao Ying could guess what he was thinking.

She deliberately said vaguely, “Brother Cheng? I know him.”

Xiao Lingbo had never expected his daughter to have such an ability.

He had gone to collect her just now because he had seen her with Cheng Yang.

Naturally, he had also seen Xiao Ying’s parting kiss.

Xiao Lingbo naturally misunderstood, thinking that Xiao Ying and Cheng Yang had known each other for a long time.

Now, he had to reconsider the value of his daughter.

“You should invite Brother Cheng over for dinner someday.”

Xiao Ying sneered in her heart and agreed sweetly.

The reason they were afraid of Cheng Yang was because he had never befriended anyone.

But if their daughter had a relationship with Cheng Yang…

Then it would be easy for the Xiao family to rise to the top amongst the wealthy families.

Xiao Lingbo had been fantasizing along the way, his eyes filling with ambition and greed.

Upon returning home, Xiao Ying felt warm and fuzzy. She had never received such treatment before.

Madam Xiao brought Xiao Ruoxuan home early in the morning.

Xiao Ruoxuan blamed everything on Xiao Ying.

This made Madam Xiao furious.

Upon seeing Xiao Ying return, she immediately roared in rage, “Xiao Ying, how dare you harm Ruoxuan like this? I raised you for so many years, yet you dare to harm my daughter like this?!”

“Qin Yu!”

Xiao Lingbo directly called Madam Xiao’s name.

Madam Xiao knew that she had misspoken and immediately shut her mouth.

Xiao Lingbo’s accusation made Madam Xiao feel even more aggrieved. She looked at Xiao Ying fiercely.

Xiao Ying immediately hid behind Xiao Lingbo in fear.

Xiao Lingbo patted her arm and whispered to her not to be afraid.

This scene agitated Madam Xiao, but she did not dare to say anything that might cause Xiao Ying to misunderstand. She could only suppress her anger and say, “Lingbo, Ruoxuan was really embarrassed today because Xiao Ying wanted to swap clothes with her.”

Xiao Lingbo was now pinning all his hopes on Xiao Ying being the Xiao family’s ticket to becoming a first-rate wealthy family. Forget Xiao Ruoxuan making a fool of herself – even if Madam Xiao made a fool of herself because of Xiao Ying, he would not care.

“Alright, don’t worry about the child anymore.”

Xiao Lingbo’s strange reaction made Madam Xiao unable to suppress the anger in her heart.

Recently, everything had been going wrong because of this Xiao Ying.

Madam Xiao quickly walked towards Xiao Ying and reached out to pull her out from behind Xiao Lingbo.
