Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Two Dogs Ca to the Blind Date Party
Song Xiao’s words were crisp, clear, and forceful.
Jiang Man could picture his animated expression even with her eyes closed as he said these words.
She lazily opened her eyes and glanced at the driver’s seat.
Song Xiao, as if possessing a telepathy-like sense, also turned his head to look at her at just the right mont.
Their eyes t, sparking an imdiate blaze.
Song Xiao felt as if his heart had been struck, and he licked his lips.
However, Jiang Man showed little reaction but instead reminded him coldly, “Where are you looking? Focus on driving!”
Song Xiao imdiately turned his head back, staring straight ahead, but occasionally he would steal glances at the girl beside him using his peripheral vision.
“You haven’t answered my question from before…”
“You’re not my type. There’s no chance for us,” said Jiang Man, her voice as still as water, devoid of any emotion.
Upon hearing this, Song Xiao felt incredibly aggrieved.
He had been a ladies’ man for many years, and there hadn’t been a single girl he fancied that he hadn’t managed to woo.
Today, however, the man who had always been unbeaten had just been rcilessly rejected by a girl, a blow unprecedented in his history.
“I was just kidding… What type do you like then?” Song Xiao asked, gritting his teeth softly.
Jiang Man closed her eyes again, utterly disinterested in the topic.
“Your good sister?”
“I’m a non-committal type. I don’t plan to marry or have children in this lifeti. I’m not interested in n,” she stated.
“What?” Song Xiao was dumbfounded and nearly jumped up from his seat.
He slowed the car, struggling to contain his excitent. “Non-committal, but you married Xingzhou?”
“Mind your own business,” Jiang Man’s voice was as light as smoke.
“Hey, I’m your brother, okay? It’s only right that I worry about you,” he protested.
“Why are you so talkative?” Suddenly, Jiang Man opened her eyes, her brows filled with irritation.
Song Xiao was shaless. Even though he found Jiang Man’s gaze terrifying, he still smiled cheerfully.
As the old saying goes, one does not slap a smiling face.
“Sister, we’re family now. I want to take care of you, so just tell , okay? I really want to know. If you’re non-committal, why did you agree to marry Xingzhou?”
Jiang Man gave him a sharp glance, her eyes like blades.
“You should take care of yourself first. Later, I’ll make sure to find an enthusiastic girl for you, so she can keep an eye on you. That way, you won’t have the ti to ddle in other people’s affairs,” she said.
“…” Song Xiao was left speechless by the retort.
He indeed had a crush on Jiang Man, but hearing that she was non-committal did not bring him any joy.
He knew that Lu Xingzhou and Jiang Man had married each other by mistake, thinking they were marrying soone else.
The two of them, having made a mistake, were now together, and he had initially thought they intended to make the best of it.
However, from what Jiang Man had said just now, it seed more like they were playing it by ear? As if they were just roommates living together?
Or perhaps, she was forced into this marriage after all?
…
Half an hour later, on a small cruise ship.
Jiang Man chose a window seat. She swirled the drink in her tall glass, glancing at the riverscape outside.
Song Xiao sat opposite her, drinking his own alcohol, not in the mood to check out any beauties at all.
In the past, at such events, his eyes would have been darting everywhere, like a hunter seeking prey.
But today was different. He felt blockage in his heart.
The real reason he had agreed to co to today’s matchmaking party was simply because he did not want to accept the arranged marriage his grandfather and Uncle Lu had planned for him.
Compared to Wen Jingya, he could accept any other stranger as a marriage partner, as long as it wasn’t Wen Jingya.
Others might not know Wen Jingya’s true colors, but he knew them crystal clear!
When he was a child and played with Lu Xingzhou, Wen Jingya would follow them around like a shadow, not knowing how much mischief she was creating behind their backs.
Lu Xingzhou’s favorite pet cat, Wen Jingya would secretly poison it to death with rat poison.
When Lu Xingzhou often went mountain climbing with him, Wen Jingya would deliberately injure her leg and then have Lu Xingzhou carry her down the mountain.
There were many more disgusting incidents like these, too nurous to count.
What was infuriating was that he had discovered these incidents secretly but couldn’t expose her wrongdoing due to lack of evidence.
When he found out that Lu Xingzhou had a whirlwind marriage with Jiang Man, besides being shocked, he was mostly happy and relieved for his brother.
Song Xiao was so deep in thought.
He picked up his glass and was gulping down the wine when he didn’t pay attention for a second, and the wine spilled out, staining his pink shirt.
He quickly grabbed a wet wipe to clean it but found that the more he wiped, the dirtier it got and the stained area increased.
“Manman, I’m going to the restroom.”
“That red wine stain won’t be easy to wash out,” Jiang Man said as she put down her wine glass.
Song Xiao stood up, “No problem, there are shops on the cruise, I’ll go buy a new shirt to change into.”
“Go ahead,” Jiang Man said indifferently.
After Song Xiao left, she took out her phone to play gas.
The cruise ship slowly sailed out of the port, moving leisurely along the river.
Skyscrapers lined both banks of the river, offering a magnificent view.
“Yanyan, let’s go up to the deck to see the scenery! I want to take pictures!”
“Sure!” Zhang Yanyan agreed cheerfully.
As the two walked past Jiang Man, Yu Qing suddenly stopped and tugged on Zhang Yanyan, whispering, “Yanyan, isn’t that the woman who hit you at Hu’s Hot Pot yesterday?”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yanyan focused her gaze on Jiang Man.
The girl leaned casually on a sofa chair, drinking wine with a lazy posture.
She was sitting there on her own, with a cold expression, radiating a keep-away aura around her.
“It’s her!” Zhang Yanyan gritted her teeth in hatred.
Yesterday, Wen Jingya gave her three slaps, all thanks to this woman!
“Didn’t Yaya say this woman married into a wealthy family? As a married woman, she’s still coming to a singles mixer?” Yu Qing scoffed.
Zhang Yanyan quickly took out her phone, snapped a picture and sent it to Wen Jingya.
“Yaya is afraid of this woman, but I’m not! Let’s not rush, we’ll wait quietly and when she’s in the sa fra as another man, we’ll take a picture and post it online!”
“Post online? Isn’t that a bit too much?” Yu Qing was sowhat worried.
The entrance tickets to today’s singles mixer were given to them by Wen Jingya.
Wen Jingya said she wasn’t interested in matchmaking, stating it was an arrangent by her family.
The two heard it was a high-end cruise mixer and wanted to see the world for themselves, so they accepted the tickets and ca together.
Yu Qing knew that those who appeared at such high-end mixers were either rich or noble.
If she and her roommate made a scene here, and a big ss resulted, they could never settle it.
“Don’t worry, I’ll post anonymously! We’ll do it sneakily without letting that woman notice, right?”
As Zhang Yanyan spoke, a wicked smile appeared on her face, “What if her husband finds out she’s at a singles mixer, do you think he’ll break her legs?”
“Yanyan… wouldn’t it be bad if this blows up? After all, the tickets were given by Yaya, and she said she didn’t want to offend this woman.”
“Rest assured, this has nothing to do with you! I’ll take full responsibility for my actions,” Zhang Yanyan completely ignored her roommate’s advice.
She no longer wanted to see the deck scenery and turned to walk toward an empty table.
She would lie in wait to see which unlucky man would show up, to accompany this woman to her downfall!
