My Wife is an Evil Dragon Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Boss Xia

“Boss Xia, I’m here on official business this ti.”

“My mom said your mom said you might be in love, and your mom asked my mom to take care of you a little more.”

“……”

Xia Li felt dizzy listening to this guy’s monologue, which sounded like a tongue twister.

No wonder this guy’s Chinese is so bad.

At least organize your language when you speak.

The young man at the door was nad Chen Tao, the sa age as Xia Li. He was currently a working-class “social animal,” and usually lived near Chunbei Road, where Xia Li had taken Lucia yesterday, in order to shorten his commute. He occasionally ca back to the old district to visit.

Today was a weekend with two days off, so Chen Tao rushed over at noon.

His goal was very clear…

He seed to have heard so incredible news!

Actually, after receiving Fang Xia’s questioning text ssage last night, Xia Li knew he had been exposed.

Knowing Fang Xia’s personality, she definitely wouldn’t be able to sit still.

And sure enough, she found a solution the next day.

Since the place where Xia Li was currently living was his old ho, many of the residents in the complex knew each other.

In addition, Xia Li’s mother, Fang Xia, was very popular. More than ten years ago, when living conditions were difficult, everyone helped each other out. Even after they moved to a new ho, these elders maintained contact.

Of course, it wasn’t just the elders who kept in touch, but also the children who grew up together in the neighborhood.

For example, the strong, honest-looking young man in front of Xia Li who was actually quite cunning.

The friendship between Xia Li and Chen Tao lasted from kindergarten to the end of elentary school. After elentary school, Xia Li moved away from his old ho, and their relationship was interrupted for a long ti.

It wasn’t until Xia Li was in college, when his school happened to be in his old neighborhood, that he applied for day school in his third year. From then on, he and Chen Tao resud contact.

It was easy for the friendship between boys to rekindle. Even though they had fought countless tis over trivial matters when they were young, once they t again as adults, they beca good brothers who “grew up wearing the sa pair of pants.”

Incidentally, this guy was the one who liked to stuff the vegetable leaves he didn’t like into the dog’s mouth, which made little Xia Li want to get a dog too.

“Let in.”

Chen Tao stood in front of the tal door, his eyes darting around the room restlessly.

Xia Li was tall, and just stood at the door, not giving Chen Tao any space to peek.

He glanced sideways, secretly looking at Lucia who was hiding behind the bedroom door.

Hiding a dragon in the house was unrealistic, unless Xia Li had his own place.

He was currently living in his old ho, and not to ntion that Mrs. Fang would co back to visit every now and then, even Old Xia would co to feed Xia Li every other day, and he would definitely discover Lucia sooner or later.

Xia Li should have considered this when he took Lucia in.

It was just that at the ti, he acted impulsively, and it had been a long ti since he had dealt with interpersonal relationships on Earth, so he hadn’t thought too much about it.

Now he was in a difficult position.

Mrs. Fang wouldn’t do anything drastic.

Mom had a gentle personality. Apart from being a bit overwhelming when she used her Sichuan-specific “I’m from Sichuan” skill, she was usually very kind, especially kind-hearted and helpful.

From childhood to adulthood, Mrs. Fang had always respected Xia Li’s ideas.

In an era when other kids’ bedroom doors didn’t have doorknobs, Xia Li’s room door not only had a lock but also ca with a key.

Although their thinking was still conservative, the old couple’s parenting style was not “bla-based education” but “praise-based education.”

Their parenting style gave Xia Li confidence and allowed him to have a very complete childhood.

Now, the pig that Fang Xia had raised for twenty-two years was finally ready for market, and she was naturally very happy.

Knowing that her little white pig had started eyeing the little white cabbage next door, she was even more delighted.

So, in the end, Fang Xia was just simply excited.

She might be secretly discussing counterasures with Old Xia at ho right now, wanting to understand the latest developnts without alerting him.

And so, she sent Chen Tao as a spy.

Xia Li leaned against the door fra and thought for a mont.

Finally, he decided to let Chen Tao in.

◈◈◈

He wanted Mrs. Fang to think he had sent in a spy.

In reality, this guy was a double agent.

Xia Li could use Chen Tao to provide Mrs. Fang with false information.

“Co in, co in, rember to change your shoes,” Xia Li said helplessly.

“Okay, Boss Xia.”

Chen Tao laughed cheerfully and skillfully took out his slippers from the shoe rack at Xia Li’s house.

Xia Li went to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of soda and threw it to Chen Tao.

Chen Tao was sweating profusely, just like when he was a child. He would get tired after running just a few steps.

“Thanks, Boss Xia.”

Xia Li: “……”

“Can you please change that stupid nickna? It’s so embarrassing.”

The story of how Xia Li got called “Boss Xia” started when he was very young.

At that ti, the children in the complex were divided into different groups. Xia Li’s group had a total of five people, all of whom were kids of similar age from the sa building.

Because Xia Li was a good student and tall at that ti, he was called the “boss” by the other kids in his group, and naturally, the nickna “Boss Xia” stuck.

Back then, there weren’t so many internet slang words, and “Boss Xia” simply ant “leader.”

Now it had a different connotation.

At first glance, it sounded like an insult.

“Hey, Old Xia… where have you been all week? Aunt Fang kept calling a few days ago, asking where you were. I didn’t know where you were, so I could only lie and say you went on a trip.”

Chen Tao said as he unscrewed the soda bottle and took a gulp.

His wandering gaze was like a mosquito in the living room, circling east and then west, before finally landing on Xia Li’s face.

Xia Li had already heard what Chen Tao was talking about from Fang Xia.

If Chen Tao hadn’t covered for him, his disappearance for a week might have worried the old couple sick.

“It’s a good thing you ca back within a week. If you had disappeared for a few more days, and Aunt Fang called the police, I would have been the pri suspect.”

Chen Tao’s tone was a bit scared.

Xia Li nodded and said, “I was on a trip.”

After all, a trip to another world could be considered a trip.

“So where did you go?” Chen Tao asked curiously.

“I went to et my online girlfriend,” Xia Li answered imdiately.

The expression on Chen Tao’s face imdiately changed.

As if he had finally received the confirmation he wanted, Chen Tao’s face lit up. He shifted his butt and sat next to Xia Li, and said mysteriously,

“Online girlfriend? You’re into online dating?”

“Aunt Fang said you were dating, but I didn’t believe it. It turns out it’s true?”

“Don’t worry, you know .”

“I’m your inside man.”

Chen Tao said confidently.

Xia Li didn’t even raise his eyelids. He stared at Chen Tao’s swearing gesture and remained silent for a while.

After a while, Xia Li hesitantly made a decision.

He turned to the half-closed bedroom door behind him and said, “Co out.”
