Chapter 137: I’m Done
“There, there, accept your fate. Who asked me to be a charmer to everyone?” Ning Xia was amused and then ruffled Ling Hanmu’s soft short hair like petting a puppy.
Ling Hanmu bristled, “I! Am! Not! Your! Puppy!”
Xia Chenge couldn’t help but chuckle, increasingly feeling that Ling Hanmu was still childlike in many ways.
Living with a mask on all these years, suppressing your true nature, must be very difficult?
Thinking of this, Xia Chenge began to pity Ling Hanmu. Although Ling Hanmu seemed worlds apart from the original owner, they were essentially the same: unable to be themselves.
“Chenge, your fiancé is too childish. Why don’t you consider me instead? How about we go for a lesbian relationship? Look at us, we’re evenly matched, so perfect for each other.” Ning Xia said, then paused, feigning shyness, “I can be protected by you!”
“I’ll ask you to get out of the car!” Ling Hanmu’s eyes were like still water, “Don’t force me, Miss Ning Xia!”
Xia Chenge covered her mouth and chuckled, “Silly, Sister Ning is just teasing you, why are you taking it so seriously?”
Ling Hanmu snorted coldly, “You can joke about anything else, but never about my wife. Little Brother, you can only be mine. No one, regardless of gender, can snatch you away from me unless they step over my dead body.”
His expression was incredibly serious, not at all like he was joking.
Xia Chenge looked at his handsome, resolute profile, and her heart couldn’t help but stir.
Ning Xia looked at the two of them and shook her head helplessly. This Ling Hanmu guy was terrible at flirting. He had the powerful advantage of being the fiancé, and after all his tantrums and begging, he still hadn’t won the girl over. He was truly the most unsuccessful tycoon heir she had ever seen. She had to help.
However, seeing their close interaction reminded her of Meng Beichen, and she couldn’t help but feel dejected.
“Alright, alright, I won’t tease you anymore. If I keep it up, I’ll probably really get kicked out of the car.” Ning Xia put away her emotions, her expression returning to normal, “Chenge, let’s discuss the plan we’re about to execute. Do you have any thoughts on it?”
Xia Chenge thought for a moment, “In terms of hype, I’m arguably the undisputed number one high school student in Country A. If we debut as a group, we’ll quickly attract attention, but at the same time, we’ll also be dug up by those people.”
“Although it diverts some attention, their gaze will still remain on us. To be honest, I’ve already been targeted.”
Ning Xia frowned slightly, “I’ve been in Europe during this time and haven’t paid much attention to the situation in Country A. Give me two days, and I’ll investigate Country A’s forces thoroughly.”
“Oh, and Xiao Mu, don’t interfere in my business.”
Ling Hanmu said haughtily, “Who would want to interfere in the business of someone who almost stole my wife? You’re overthinking it!”
“That’s good. Be careful, I might actually steal your wife,” Ning Xia threatened playfully.
Xia Chenge listened from the side and found that the word ‘wife,’ which she used to strongly dislike, now sounded rather pleasant. She didn’t even consider refuting Ling Hanmu.
Ling Hanmu noticed this and was secretly delighted.
He wanted to gradually make Xia Chenge accustomed to his presence, and then make her unable to leave him.
Yes, it sounded like a great plan.
As they spoke, the three of them had already arrived at Yan Sheng High School.
Ling Hanmu, as usual, parked his car in front of the ‘No Parking’ sign at the school gate, high-profile and arrogant.
As Xia Chenge and Ning Xia got out of the car, they immediately drew the attention of the students returning to school.
Both of them were exceptionally good-looking. Especially since Xia Chenge’s theory was recognized by Jiang Xian, the students of Yan Sheng High School admired her from the bottom of their hearts.
However, they were also curious about who the petite, ethereal girl was.
Xia Chenge was already accustomed to such attention, while Ning Xia maintained a ladylike demeanor, following Xia Chenge into the school.
“It seems the School Belle of Yan Sheng High School is none other than you,” Ning Xia teased. “Xiao Mu is probably going to have a headache. Since we got out of the car, countless admiring glances have fallen on you.”
“Sister Ning, why are you so gossipy?” Ever since she learned of Tong Yangyang’s true identity, she felt an instant connection with Ning Xia.
Ning Xia smiled, “It’s hard to ignore them, their gazes are too intense. Alas, poor Xiao Mu, the road ahead is long and arduous!”
Xia Chenge playfully bumped her, “You’re talking nonsense again.”
“How about we ask Xiao Mu for confirmation?” Ning Xia leaned in and whispered in Xia Chenge’s ear.
A moment later, Ning Xia huffed indignantly, “So annoying! Why are you even a tiny bit taller than me? Hmph, this height disadvantage is something I’ll probably never overcome, boohoo!”
Xia Chenge found this both helpless and amusing.
Ning Xia looked dejected and held up her hand to compare, “Last year in Country H, I met a girl named Lu Tangtang, who was also so much taller than me. So annoying, but I still have to smile.”
“There, there, you’ll grow taller,” Xia Chenge naturally patted Ning Xia’s head, just as Ning Xia had petted Ling Hanmu earlier.
Ning Xia bristled and glared at Xia Chenge, “Is it really okay for you to pet me like this? I’m the older sister!”
Xia Chenge couldn’t help but burst into laughter, attracting even more attention.
Ning Xia playfully hit her, looking like a bullied little cabbage.
Seeing how close the petite girl was to Xia Chenge, everyone silently told themselves not to provoke them.
Meanwhile, Ling Hanmu watched their interaction from behind, sulking inwardly. He should have known better than to let that troublemaker Ning Xia come. Now, it really felt like his wife was about to be snatched away…
The baby is sad, but the baby won’t say it!
Class 2-F.
Xia Chenge and Ning Xia appearing at the classroom entrance simultaneously made the classmates in the room’s eyes light up.
They stared blankly as the two walked in, momentarily forgetting what they were supposed to be doing.
After a while, Li Nan walked over and asked Xia Chenge, looking at Ning Xia, “Chenge, is she a new student?”
“Yes, let me introduce you, this is Tong Yangyang, she just transferred here,” Xia Chenge nodded, then said to Ning Xia, “Yangyang, this is our class monitor for Class 2-F, Li Nan.”
Ning Xia smiled gracefully at Li Nan, “Hello, my name is Tong Yangyang. I’m new here, please take care of me in the future.”
“Hello, welcome to Class 2-F,” Li Nan quickly welcomed her.
At the same time, Ling Hanmu arrived at the classroom with a dark expression.
The previously bright and sunny Class F was immediately filled with a low-pressure atmosphere.
Sensing Ling Hanmu’s displeasure, everyone lowered their heads in fear, trying to minimize their presence to avoid incurring the wrath of the Young Master.
“This is my seat!” Ling Hanmu said aggressively, tapping on Ning Xia’s desk. “Dare to sit here? Do you, the transfer student, want to make trouble at Yan Sheng High School?”
Tong Yangyang timidly looked up, “Yes, Chenge told me to sit here.”
“Move aside!” Ling Hanmu said menacingly. Hmph, this person was here to steal his wife, and now she was sitting in his seat, trying to get close?
Unbearable!
