Though tears filled her eyes, this stubborn girl still managed to squeeze out a smile in front of him.

Seeing her pleading look now, a bitter smile spilled from the corners of Xu Fan's mouth.

"Your acting is indeed very good..."

At this moment, whether she was happy or sad, Xu Fan found he could hardly tell anymore.

The only thing he could do was praise her acting.

"Hey, big dummy, don't you want to ask what my sister actually told me?"

Xia Xiaodie wiped her eyes and asked Xu Fan with a smile.

Xu Fan grinned, his smile more forced than genuine, "I'm not interested in whatever that creepy old maid did."

"Don't speak ill of my sister!"

Hearing Xu Fan's annoyed tone, Xia Xiaodie puffed up her cheeks and fiercely pinched the soft flesh around his waist.

Then, resting her chin on her hands, she leaned on the table and said, "Actually, my sister is under a lot of pressure, carrying the entire burden of the Xia Family alone. She has her difficulties. It's just that I'm useless and can't share her worries..."

After speaking, Xia Xiaodie made a fist at Xu Fan, threatening, "My sister is not a creepy old maid. There are many people chasing after her; she just doesn't fancy you, that's all."

"Heh, I truly feel sorry for those blind people."

Xu Fan rolled his eyes but wasn't opposed to Xia Xiaodie defending Xia Yanyu, as the two were biological sisters, after all.

"Big dummy, close your eyes."

At that moment, Xia Xiaodie, holding his arm, asked earnestly.

"What are you trying to do?"

Xu Fan looked at her warily, who knows what this stubborn girl was up to...

"Hurry up! You big dummy!"

Before Xu Fan complied, Xia Xiaodie puffed up her cheeks and forcibly closed his eyelids.

"Thank you for saving me."

As if afraid she would never see his face again, Xia Xiaodie gazed deeply at Xu Fan, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then pressed her soft lips directly onto his.

Whoo...

The soft touch on his lips, like an electric shock, made Xu Fan instantly open his eyes.

This stubborn girl, now with her eyes closed, was actively kissing him.

Probably due to lack of experience, Xia Xiaodie's kissing skills were not impressive, and it took her quite a while.

Xu Fan, for some reason, felt somewhat off.

Seemingly struggling to breathe, Xia Xiaodie hastily ended this clumsy kiss.

Now with a flushed face and catching her breath, she winked at Xu Fan and giggled, "Isn't it thrilling to do such a naughty thing in the classroom with the class beauty?"

"Thrilling, my foot!"

The stubborn girl looked quite pleased with herself. Seeing her smug look, Xu Fan couldn't help but pinch her charming cheek.

"Hmph, so ungrateful, you big dummy!"

While Xu Fan played with her face, Xia Xiaodie pouted and complained to him.

"Xu Fan."

Now grabbing Xu Fan's hand, Xia Xiaodie looked very serious.

Seeming a bit nervous about what she was about to say, her face turned slightly red, and Xu Fan looked at her puzzledly, unable to resist asking, "What's wrong? Hooked now?"

"Hooked, my foot!"

Xia Xiaodie rolled her eyes at Xu Fan, and his teasing somehow made her feel less nervous.

"Purse those lips and say, 'Why don't you be my boyfriend?'"

"What?"

Caught off guard by Xia Xiaodie suddenly saying such things, Xu Fan took a moment to really look at her and asked, "Little devil, aren't you afraid your sister will kill you?"

Xu Fan hadn't forgotten what Xia Yanyu, that old spinster, had mentioned earlier about him having wild ideas.

What if she finds out that her trusted younger sister is now boldly making advances on him? Wouldn't she be mad enough to explode?

"Don't worry, my sister won't find out," said Xia Xiaodie.

Holding Xu Fan's hand and blinking mischievously, she boasted, "I told you, my acting skills are top-notch."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, aren't you lucky to be confessed to by the beauty queen herself? If the others find out, they'll be green with envy."

It seemed she was truly expressing her thoughts, as Xia Xiaodie looked especially joyful now, laughing while pinching Xu Fan's cheeks.

This little devil was now straddling him, and who knows what anyone passing by might think if they saw them. Xu Fan removed her hands from his face and said, "Little devil, what are you so excited about?"

"I didn't agree yet."

"You, you, you!"

"Big dummy!"

Finally letting her guard down, and then he starts to show off. Xia Xiaodie, now annoyed, puffed her cheeks and gave Xu Fan a big kiss on the cheek.

"Hmph, big dummy, I've marked you with my stamp now. Starting today, you're mine, understand?"

"..."

Sitting astride him and chin tilted up proudly, Xia Xiaodie proudly declared her territorial rights while Xu Fan, wrapping his arms around her slim waist, just zoned out a bit.

Recalling her previously indifferent demeanor, he suddenly thought that this playful side suits her better.

"As long as you're happy," he said.

Doting on her, Xu Fan pinched Xia Xiaodie's nose, then pulled her into his embrace, watching this little devil forget to breathe in nervousness, he smirked and kissed her lips.

"Little devil, remember, you're Xu Fan's woman, and no one can take you away from me."

Xu Fan looked seriously at the woman in his arms as he said this.

He didn't care what Xia Yanyu was up to or whether she acknowledged the marriage papers in his possession, but there was one thing he wanted Xia Yanyu to be clear about.

What's his, no one can snatch away.

"Big dummy..."

Seeing Xu Fan's expression for the first time, Xia Xiaodie lay in his arms, dazed for a while before smiling and climbing up.

"All right, take me to see Shimeng," she said.

Seeming to want to change the subject, Xia Xiaodie pulled at Xu Fan's hand, ready to head out of the classroom.

"What are you up to?"

Xu Fan looked at Xia Xiaodie's eager face and curiously furrowed his brow.

At this time, Guan Shimeng was probably still broadcasting; whether she had time to entertain them was a question.

"Big dummy, you've had such good fortune; don't you think she should celebrate for you too?"

"Besides, aren't you going to let me in on what you two have been secretly up to lately?"

As she spoke, Xia Xiaodie squeezed her own eyebrows and said, "I heard everything just now."

Helping Guan Shimeng with her broadcast was something Xu Fan guessed he couldn't keep from Xia Xiaodie any longer. Now that he had unexpectedly established a relationship with Xia Xiaodie, Guan Shimeng should be informed too.

Xu Fan sighed and nodded, "True, an ugly bride will eventually meet the in-laws."

"You're the ugly bride! Big! Dummy!"
