Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Shameless in Broad Daylight

As Miao Xuanxuan looked at him expectantly, Song Xiaodong grinned and said, "You just said Qingqing was with me two years ago, which means she and I were close. Why would I share our private matters with you?"

Miao Xuanxuan blinked and replied, "If you tell me, I wouldn’t let you do it for nothing."

"Oh? What can you offer me?" The smile on Song Xiaodong’s face grew thicker.

"Think about it, I’m her sister, so I know a lot about her. If you want to know something about her, can’t I just tell you? Plus, if you like something special, like bras or panties, I can steal them for you."

"Pfft..." Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but feel defeated by Miao Xuanxuan’s words. "You seem to be really setting your sister up."

Miao Xuanxuan tilted her chin up and said, "Sisters are there to be used, right? Who made her let me take the blame for her."

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "That’s between you sisters, I won’t interfere. And even if it really is Qingqing, since she doesn’t want to admit it now, why should I insist on exposing her?"

Miao Xuanxuan looked at Song Xiaodong perplexedly and said, "Are you really giving up? Don’t you want to be with her?"

"The thing from two years ago was just a moment of impulse, and afterwards, it was as if we were unrelated. Although I was surprised to see her again, I never thought about being with her."

"My sister is so beautiful and our family is so rich. She’s a typical rich and pretty girl. If you could be with her, you’d save decades of struggle. Our family’s company would be yours then. Don’t you find that tempting?"

Song Xiaodong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your sister is great, but first, I’m not thinking about getting married now. I’m not interested in any beauty, not even if a goddess descends. Second, if your sister doesn’t want to admit it, then I have to respect her wishes. I can’t do something as desperate as clinging to her unwillingly."

Miao Xuanxuan curled her lips, a mischievous smile appearing, "Woah... I didn’t see that coming. You’ve got quite the character."

"It’s not character; it’s a man’s bottom line."

"Alright, if you won’t tell, never mind. By the way, can you tell me about how you saved my sister?"

"Hasn’t your sister told you?"

"My dad won’t let me ask too much. My sister is also tight-lipped, and talking about it seems to scare her a lot. I’d be too cruel to reopen her wounds. I heard my dad on the phone saying you took down those two thugs. That’s really cool."

Song Xiaodong frowned and immediately said, "I didn’t take those two men out; I just crippled them so they couldn’t escape. They were fierce enough to choose to kill themselves."

"That’s still impressive. Those guys, I heard they were ruthless, killed many people. This time, my sister ended up in their hands. My dad and sister are still scared. If it weren’t for you, she would really have been killed."

Song Xiaodong said indifferently, "Well, I couldn’t just do nothing when I encountered it."

Miao Xuanxuan’s eyes sparkled and she said, "So that means you’re really good at fighting. Have you practiced any Kung Fu? Are you, like, really, really skilled?"

"Just average, but good enough to handle the ordinary people."

Miao Xuanxuan’s eyes twinkled with a sly gleam as she said, "Then that’s settled, I have thought of how you can help me."

"How can I help you?" Song Xiaodong squinted and asked.

"You go fight a battle for me." Miao Xuanxuan clenched her fist and waved it.

Song Xiaodong rolled his eyes at Miao Xuanxuan and said, "Not interested, and besides, you’re a girl, why are you setting up fights with others? Also, you have so many bodyguards at home, just let them fight for you."

"It’s not that kind of fighting, silly. I work at a gym as an aerobics instructor, and there’s a Sanda coach there who keeps pestering me. He’s driving me crazy. If you defeat him, he won’t bother me anymore."

"Oh, that doesn’t seem like a problem," Song Xiaodong nodded.

"So you agree?" Miao Xuanxuan exclaimed excitedly, grabbing Song Xiaodong’s arm.

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "Agreeing to this lets me off the hook for owing you one, seems like a good deal."

"Hehe... that’s right, but there’s a little catch."

"What’s the catch?"

Miao Xuanxuan blinked and said, "You’ll have to pretend to be my boyfriend; otherwise, even if you win, he could still keep pestering me."

"Pretend to be your boyfriend?" Song Xiaodong narrowed his eyes, sizing up Miao Xuanxuan.

Miao Xuanxuan puffed out her chest and said, "Hey, you think being the boyfriend of a beauty like me is degrading?"

"Of course not, but I’m wondering, what exactly does this boyfriend role involve? How far do I have to go? Are there any other perks?" Song Xiaodong asked with a sly grin.

"Tsk tsk tsk! Dream on, it’s just a title, you think you can take advantage of me?" Miao Xuanxuan stared at Song Xiaodong fiercely.

Even when she glared, Miao Xuanxuan’s eyes were watery, making her look even cuter.

"That’s really boring, sigh," Song Xiaodong shook his head, looking disappointed.

"No wonder my sister says you’re nothing but a jerk and a scoundrel," Miao Xuanxuan scorned him with a glare but then quickly blinked and said, "But a person like you who flaunts his loutishness may not secretly be up to no good, which isn’t so scary, I guess."

Song Xiaodong smirked, leaning his head closer to Miao Xuanxuan’s face and said, "Then you’re too trusting. This is one of my tricks for picking up girls. Who knows, one day you might actually end up as my girlfriend inadvertently."

"In your dreams! I’m not looking for a boyfriend so soon, and you... hmph, with my sister involved, the best you could aspire to be is my brother-in-law. Ah, you’re so sleazy, already thinking about your sister-in-law while you’d be my sister’s husband. Do you fancy the idea of having both sisters?"

"Pfft..." Song Xiaodong was thunderstruck by Miao Xuanxuan’s words, but her suggestion made him secretly thrilled—what a stroke of luck that would be!

"Ahhh... you jerk, you actually entertain such thoughts, how shameless!" Miao Xuanxuan took a step back and crossed her arms.

Song Xiaodong laughed out loud and said, "See, you make me think, it’s just harmless fantasizing."

"Keep dreaming," Miao Xuanxuan swung her fist at Song Xiaodong and then burst into laughter, saying, "Suddenly, I find you quite amusing, being brazen enough to say such shameless things outright."

Song Xiaodong puffed out his chest and said, "This is called being shamelessly upright."

"Alright, Mr. Righteous, let’s go. I have a class this afternoon, let’s go knock that guy out now, so he stops bothering me."
