Sucker!

Ye Xiao smirked wickedly and said, "Well, if that's what you think, then sure, this sucker will definitely invite you to dinner. I guarantee it. We're currently near Minghai Academy, we can meet at the entrance of Minghai Academy!"

Hearing Ye Xiao's seemingly sly laughter, Song Jiaqian immediately hesitated and asked, "Who are you with? Is it a classmate of yours?"

"Not really, let's say a half-friend!" Ye Xiao kept smiling as he looked at Song Jiamin, who was glaring at him.

"Half-friend? What does that even mean?" Song Jiaqian was instantly confused and said, "Male or female? It's not your girlfriend, is it?"

Of course, it was a half-friend situation. Ye Xiao and Song Jiamin, if they were enemies, still had the substantial relationship of a mentor and apprentice. However, if they were friends, Song Jiamin currently hated Ye Xiao to the bone!

Upon hearing that, Ye Xiao chuckled to himself, knowing full well that Song Jiaqian would think that way. However, he did not explain and instead told Song Jiaqian, "This person is indeed a female, someone you see often. I can assure you that you won't be angry when you see her, and actually, you'd be very willing to have dinner with her!"

"Impossible!" The moment Song Jiaqian heard Ye Xiao mention he was with a girl, a sour feeling surged in her heart. And hearing Ye Xiao say that she would definitely be willing to eat with this girl, she thought Ye Xiao's words were far from realistic. How could such a person exist? She resolved never to dine with Ye Xiao's woman. The reason was simple: Song Jiaqian had a crush on Ye Xiao, so the thought of Ye Xiao being with another girl and having dinner together was unbearable. Even if she wanted to go, she decided to suppress her rationality and not go!

Ye Xiao, hearing Song Jiamin's decisively uttered 'impossible,' knew even more about Song Jiaqian's thoughts!

"I'll be waiting for you here. I believe you'll come. You should understand that I've never lied to you," Ye Xiao said to Song Jiaqian with a smile!

The reason why Ye Xiao wanted Song Jiaqian to come here was quite simple. That day, he and Song Jiamin had some ambiguous moments, and he even caught Song Jiamin watching adult films, causing her—a usually strong-willed woman—to repeatedly suffer losses and be left without a way to voice her distress. Ye Xiao feared that once he and Song Jiamin parted ways, she might go to those shady nightclubs to drown her sorrows. That was definitely not an outcome Ye Xiao wanted to see!

Hearing Ye Xiao's words and sensing his determination, Song Jiaqian hesitated for a moment. In the end, she compromised and said very seriously to Ye Xiao, "Ye Xiao, if things aren't as you described, I will leave immediately, and I won't bother with you anymore!"

To Ye Xiao's surprise, Song Jiaqian was unexpectedly earnest. However, looking at Song Jiamin before him, he believed that Song Jiaqian would definitely want to have dinner with this person!

Then Ye Xiao said very seriously to Song Jiaqian, "No problem, but I can guarantee that your concerns won't come true."

Afterward, both Ye Xiao and Song Jiaqian ended their phone call.

Song Jiamin had been listening attentively to Ye Xiao's conversation with the person on the phone all along. Judging by Ye Xiao's tone, it seemed that the person on the other end was someone she knew and was quite familiar with. Curiosity piqued, she immediately looked at Ye Xiao quizzically and asked, "Who is it? Do I know them?"

Ye Xiao then handed the phone to Song Jiamin, smiling and saying, "Why don't you take a look for yourself?"

Song Jiamin took the phone, which was the one she had given to her sister, Song Jiaqian, and now it had become Ye Xiao's phone. Initially, Song Jiamin wanted to take it back, but then she thought better of it. Ye Xiao had, after all, saved her sister once; if she rashly demanded the phone back, it might seem ungrateful. And if Ye Xiao were to twist his words, accusing the Song family of not knowing how to reciprocate a favor, that could be troublesome!

So, having already given the phone to Ye Xiao, Song Jiamin decided to let it be, given was given after all!

Song Jiamin took the phone, skillfully checking the call log. However, when she saw the note for the most recent inbound call, she was momentarily stunned, and, looking up at Ye Xiao with slight surprise, she said, "It's Jiaqian!"

Ye Xiao nodded and replied, "That's right, it's Jiaqian. She should be arriving soon!"

"No, I have to leave; I can't let Jiaqian know I'm with you!" Song Jiamin immediately looked at Ye Xiao with seriousness.

Ye Xiao was utterly puzzled and asked Song Jiamin, "Why? Jiaqian has a very good impression of me, and she won't think there's anything inappropriate about you being with me, I'm confident about that!"

"I have no freaking confidence!" Jiamin Song said to Ye Xiao somewhat anxiously, "Are you such an idiot that you can't see that Jiaqian likes you?"

Her voice wasn't loud. After having just yelled at Ye Xiao, now she didn't dare to speak loudly to him!

When Ye Xiao heard what Jiamin Song said, he wasn't very surprised. He could tell that Jiaqian Song had feelings for him, but so what? Even if he and Jiaqian Song got together, got married, and had children, couldn't he still have meals with Jiamin Song?

That seemed a bit of an overreaction!

Ye Xiao immediately smiled and said to Jiamin Song, "You're thinking too much. Besides, no one knows what our relationship is right now. If I really end up with Jiaqian Song, are you saying that you'd decide never to come home or see Jiaqian and me again?"

"Why shouldn't I come home? The home is mine too!" Jiamin Song shot Ye Xiao a look.

Ye Xiao chuckled and replied, "Exactly! If you don't tell and I don't tell, how would Jiaqian know? Plus, I've already assured Jiaqian that someone would definitely take her out for a meal, and besides you, I'm afraid there's no suitable candidate. If you leave, Jiaqian might end up ignoring me!"

"Oh? So that's how it is? Well, that's wonderful. I should leave even more now. I definitely can't let Jiaqian fall into the hands of someone like you!" Jiamin Song said resolutely, looking at Ye Xiao. It seemed that she believed that once she left, Jiaqian would think Ye Xiao was untrustworthy, and then she wouldn't bother with him anymore. It would be a great thing to keep Jiaqian out of Ye Xiao's clutches!

However, she thought this way, but Ye Xiao didn't want that at all. Keeping in touch with beauties and seeing them often was something that could prolong his life. If his prime years didn't have the embellishment of beauties, they would surely be dull and tasteless!

"Heh heh, you can leave if you want, but don't regret it later!" Ye Xiao had an indifferent you-can-leave-if-you-want-to attitude.

Jiamin Song, who was originally planning to leave, now found herself utterly perplexed upon seeing Ye Xiao's attitude. She couldn't claim to understand him completely, but she knew that Ye Xiao was smart and full of cunning tricks; he must have some plan. So, she walked up to Ye Xiao and said, "What are you thinking of now? I'm telling you, you'd better not go too far, or else, hmph, I definitely won't let you off easily, especially if you threaten Jiaqian in any way!"

Ye Xiao touched his nose, then casually pulled out a cigarette, leisurely lit it, took a drag, and then exhaled the smoke in Jiamin Song's direction, making her cough repeatedly.

"What the hell are you doing? I'm telling you, Ye Xiao, don't go too far, or I won't give you any more face!" Jiamin Song said furiously.

Ye Xiao shrugged, smacked his lips, and then said to Jiamin Song with a smile, "Don't get so angry. It's definitely not good for a girl's health to be so hot-tempered all the time, not to mention the hormonal imbalance could make it even worse."

Jiamin Song, though irritated inside at Ye Xiao's preachy tone, wanted him to spit out whatever he was trying to say, so she forcibly suppressed her anger and said, "What are you trying to say?"

Ye Xiao smiled, noticing that Jiamin Song was truly anxious, and then told her, "You're very selfish!"

"Selfish?" Jiamin Song was utterly perplexed when she heard these two words. How was she selfish?

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "And you are very selfish towards your own sister!"

"What do you mean by that?" Jiamin Song asked with a sardonic laugh, genuinely wanting to know what Ye Xiao was getting at.

Ye Xiao explained, "Do you think I can't see it? You want to possess me, this dashing hunk, and in order to prevent Jiaqian Song from getting a chance to be with me, you purposefully make it so Jiaqian doesn't bother with me. Once that's done, you can hang out with me every day without any guilt!"

After Ye Xiao finished speaking, Jiamin Song felt like she was going to throw up. She had seen narcissistic people before, but she had never encountered anyone as narcissistic as Ye Xiao, who even called himself a good-looking hunk. That she would want to possess him and push her sister aside for such a so-called hunk!

"Ye Xiao, you bastard, that's a barefaced slander of me. I'm telling you, if there's anything my sister wants, I will certainly give it to her without hesitation. And let me tell you, in no uncertain terms, you really don't have the right to be associated with the word 'handsome' because you simply don't deserve it!" Jiamin Song said furiously, "I'm telling you, I'm leaving because I want to keep my sister from falling into the clutches of a jerk like you!"

"But you still want to leave, which means Jiaqian Song will stop bothering with me, and then you can be with me all the time. Isn't that the truth? Alright, no need to explain!" Ye Xiao said with a sly smile, "Humans are always selfish. I understand!"

"You..." Jiamin Song felt like her lungs would explode with the frustration caused by Ye Xiao.

"Fine, fine, I won't leave. But if you dare to bully my sister, I swear I'll tear you to pieces!" Jiamin Song said menacingly to Ye Xiao.
