"Even if, even if you are his lover, you shouldnât be a hindrance," Jackson said, shivering.
Xia Chuyi really had no words for Jacksonâs remark.
"But, Mr. Jackson, you and I are not casual friends," Xia Chuyi frowned. "We arenât having a proper conversation either."
"To be precise, I had no intention to communicate with you; it was you who unilaterally started talking to me."
This basically meant nothing less than accusing the fake foreigner of pestering her.
Jackson was incredulous, glanced at Xia Chu and then at Huo Shiqian.
Were these two really a couple?
Seeing Huo Shiqianâs military uniform, a thought flashed across Jacksonâs mind: Could Miss Xia be under duress?
After all, this military man appeared too domineering and unreasonable.
From his experience, no woman would like such a dictatorial brute.
Moreover, he had heard that in China, many arranged marriages occurred.
Thus, Jackson wondered: Could it be possible that Miss Xia is not here voluntarily?
Thinking this, Jacksonâs gaze toward Xia Chuyi involuntarily filled with pity.
Xia Chuyi and Huo Shiqian both frowned simultaneously: What sort of look was this from the fake foreigner?
Jackson coughed twice, trying hard to hide his fear, and said, "I... I just wanted to be friends with Miss Xia, nothing more..."
Jackson still tried to explain.
Huo Shiqian and Xia Chuyi really couldnât be bothered with him any longer.
Xia Chuyi simply shook her head and directly said to Uncle Liberation Army, "Brother Shi Qian, letâs go."
Staying any longer with this fake foreigner, she feared her IQ might drop.
Huo Shiqian nodded expressionlessly and, together with Xia Chuyi, they prepared to leave.
But as soon as they turned, they heard someone shout from behind, "Hey, what are you doing?"
It was Nixonâs sister, Annie, who had suddenly run over from around the corner of the corridor.
"Hey, you people, what exactly have you done to my brother?" Annie yelled at them.
After running over, Annie checked on her brother Jackson.
Finding that he was okay, she then stood with her hands on her hips, glaring angrily back at Xia Chuyi as she turned around.
"Itâs you again, you annoying Chinese woman!" Annie pointed at her aggressively.
"Ugh, we already apologized for before, why are you still harassing us?" Knowing Xia Chuyi understood English, Annie bombarded her with a sequence of accusatory questions.
While speaking, Annie even pointed a finger at Huo Shiqian next to her: "You, this annoying woman, not only do you constantly harass, but you also stoop so low as to bring reinforcements? What exactlyâ"
Mid-sentence, Annieâs gaze met Huo Shiqianâs as he also turned around.
Her voice abruptly stopped.
"Is this, is this your reinforcement?" Annie couldnât believe it. "How could someone like you have such an outstanding man by your side?!"
Xia Chuyi: ...
Truly unreasonable.
"Brother Shi Qian, letâs go." If they stayed any longer, she was afraid she might truly become foolish.
However, Huo Shiqian stood his ground.
"Miss, this is China. Please speak to our Chinese citizens with some respect and politeness."
