Capítulo 2285: Chapter 2221: I’m Just a Passerby
Watching her like this, smiling in front of him, playing around in front of him, being so close he could hug her if he just reached out, and kiss her if he leaned in—how wonderful.
He had resigned himself to his fate. To love a woman to this extent, to the point that being apart for just a few days felt unbearable, was sothing he figured he’d experience again and again in this lifeti.
Chiang Xiao snuggled in his embrace, biting her lip with a light smile.
The two of them leaned into each other, gazing at the sunset-lit sky. For once, they felt peaceful and warm inside, completely forgetting about the past bitterness and sadness.
“Ahem!”
A figure slowly stood up from behind a row of bean plants next door.
Chiang Xiao was startled.
What? Soone on the rooftop next door?
Were her ears broken? She hadn’t heard a single sound just now!
“These old legs of mine are going numb from squatting.” A voice, filled with a hint of laughter, rang out. It sounded like an elderly person.
“But, luckily I caught the thief. Last ti I had a tomato that finally ripened, I was waiting to make candied fruit with it, the old man loves that sweet and sour taste, but then in a blink, it was gone.”
Chiang Xiao suddenly looked at ng Xinian, her eyes widening.
Heh heh, Tyrant ng, you’re done for! You got caught stealing tomatoes!
She found it suddenly funny and quickly pushed him away, jumping a few steps back. “I don’t know you!”
ng Xinian’s face was instantly lined with black streaks.
He glanced at Chiang Xiao and turned to the old man with a cough.
The man was a lean elder over sixty, but his eyes were bright, holding two strips of lon while looking at ng Xinian.
There had been a half-height red brick wall between them; for the old man it would be hard to climb, but for ng Xinian, he could flip over it in the blink of an eye.
“Old Yang.”
ng Xinian called out, and Chiang Xiao guessed that this must be Yang Zhiqi’s father?
Back then, Yang Zhiqi had followed Old ng, but it was said that his father was also quite a character. There had been so misunderstanding between the father and son, and that was why Yang Zhiqi left with Old ng in a huff.
Now that she looked, Yang Zhiqi did indeed resemble the elder standing before her.
“Young ng,” Old Yang said, then looked at Chiang Xiao, “is this your wife?”
Chiang Xiao quickly shook her head and waved her hands, “No, no, I have nothing to do with him. I’m just a passerby, a complete stranger! Old man, don’t mind , settle accounts with him.”
ng Xinian: “…”
Who said this girl had cald down? Clearly, she’s still holding a grudge.
Isn’t this what they call, even married birds will fly their separate ways in the face of disaster?
Agh, spit, spit, spit.
If this girl dares to fly, he’ll just have to chase after her.
ng Xinian’s glanced askance at Chiang Xiao carried a hint of danger she could catch.
Ha, Tyrant ng is definitely not thinking good thoughts right now.
Old Yang looked at Chiang Xiao, then at ng Xinian, and suddenly laughed, quite enjoying their predicant. “I heard young ng here was finally tad. I didn’t believe it at the ti, but now it seems to be true. Co, co, young lady, want to co to this old man’s place and have so fruit? These little apples from my hotown are so sweet.”
“Old Yang, I just took one of your tomatoes, you don’t have to kidnap my wife too, do you?” ng Xinian’s face turned dark.
His wife had co all this way to see him; preferably, they would stay glued together with no one playing third wheel.
If Old Yang took her away, who knows when she’d co back.
Old Yang chuckled, “The girl clearly says she has nothing to do with you.”
