Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Miao Xuanxuan Comes to Scrounge a Meal

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "I don’t have any plans to settle down yet. Having worked so hard abroad for so many years, I also want to relax for a while. Getting a wife so early, wouldn’t I be under her control? How could I play and enjoy myself then?"

Wang Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, it depends on the kind of woman we’re talking about. With beauties like Lin Su’er, what could you possibly be dissatisfied with?"

"With someone like me, do you think I would lack beauties?" Song Xiaodong swaggered arrogantly, jutting out his chin.

Wang Xiaoqiang looked at Song Xiaodong and, although he found him quite boastful, couldn’t help nodding and said, "That makes sense. Your skills are now so great, who knows how many beauties will want to throw themselves at you? You really don’t need to be in a hurry to go looking, unlike Gangzi and me. Finding a beauty isn’t that easy for us."

Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, "Don’t worry, with me here, are you still afraid there won’t be beauties surrounding you?"

"Hehe, you’re right. From now on, I’ll just follow you. If there aren’t any beauties, we’ll only have you to blame."

After joking around for a while, Song Xiaodong went to sit with He Wenbai for a bit and took care of the favor he had promised.

He Wenbai took the pamphlet and his hands shook with excitement. For him, it was an absolutely priceless treasure. Song Xiaodong just gave it to him like that, leaving him so excited that he didn’t even know what to say, and then he didn’t even notice when Song Xiaodong left.

Today, Song Xiaodong didn’t wander around aimlessly; he went back home early and bought a lot of groceries, cooking a full table of dishes himself, just waiting for Song Xiaoru to return for dinner.

Song Xiaoru hadn’t come back yet, and to his surprise, Miao Xuanxuan, the kid, had run over.

"Why have you come?" Song Xiaodong looked at Miao Xuanxuan with some astonishment.

"Wow, you made so many delicious dishes; you’re not going to tell me you made all of these, are you?" Miao Xuanxuan completely ignored Song Xiaodong’s question, her eyes glued to the dishes on the table, sniffing the air with a look of longing.

Song Xiaodong rolled his eyes and said, "Hey, can you not? You, a young lady of wealth, run to my poor place without any reason, and you’re salivating like a greedy cat; what’s the meaning of this?"

"Can’t I do what I want?" Miao Xuanxuan then turned to look at Song Xiaodong, sticking out her chest proudly.

"Alright, your word just defeated me." Song Xiaodong was suddenly speechless; she had no reason, only her pleasure, what more could he say?

Miao Xuanxuan giggled proudly and said, "I came to hang out with you. I don’t really have any true friends, and nobody else treats me not just as some rich girl, so I like to come to you for fun."

Song Xiaodong narrowed his eyes and said, "Really? Should we play like we did in Las Vegas again?"

"Shoo!" Miao Xuanxuan gave Song Xiaodong a big eye roll and said, "You don’t still think I’m that person, do you? If I were, I could go to the casino to play with you, get married just for kicks, or ride in a hot air balloon, but I would definitely not go to bed with you."

"What are you two talking about?" Song Xiaoru’s voice rang out from the doorway.

Miao Xuanxuan immediately greeted her with a cheerful smile and said, "Sister Xiaoru, I’ve come to your place for a meal."

Song Xiaoru said with a smile, "Oh, that’s great. Otherwise, it would be too quiet with just Xiaodong and me eating. It’s more lively with more people."

"I knew Sister Xiaoru was the best."

Song Xiaodong said teasingly, "I say, Miao Xuanxuan, you sure make yourself at home."

Miao Xuanxuan tilted her chin up and said, "It’s mainly because Sister Xiaoru has a kind of affability about her, whenever I see her, I just want to get close."

Song Xiaodong gave a thumbs up and said, "That’s some nice brown-nosing, I like it."

Song Xiaoru tapped Song Xiaodong’s head and asked, "Are you saying that Xiaoru was lying?"

Song Xiaodong, rubbing his head, replied, "Ah! No, no, my sister is indeed the most affable sister in the world, not a single bit false."

Miao Xuanxuan immediately giggled and said, "Haha, turns out you do have someone you’re afraid of, I would never have guessed, a guy like you being scared of someone as gentle as Xiaoru."

"What do you know? My sister is the person I respect most. In this whole world, apart from my sister, I’m afraid of nothing and no one. If anyone dares to mess with my sister, I would definitely skin them alive and pull out their tendons."

Song Xiaoru chuckled softly and said, "Don’t listen to the sweet nothings he’s spouting. This kid controls everything about me. Lately, whenever he sees someone getting cozy with me, his eyes bulge out like a bull’s."

Miao Xuanxuan laughed and covered her mouth, glancing at Song Xiaodong, "Tell me Song Xiaodong, you kind of seem like a sister-complex type of guy."

Song Xiaodong rolled his eyes and said, "Sister-complex? I never planned on controlling my sister, I’m just helping her pick out a boyfriend, that’s all."

"That’s it, you do control her, you meddle so much, if it’s not sister-complex what is it? Look at me and Miao Qingqing, do either of us control the other? We both just take care of ourselves, right?"

Song Xiaodong stroked his chin and said, "Now that you mention it, it does kind of seem that way. Sis, you’re not annoyed with me, are you?" he said, looking pitifully at Song Xiaoru.

Song Xiaoru smiled slightly and said, "I’m really happy that you take care of me, I take care of you too, right? We only have each other, so shouldn’t we look out for one another?"

Miao Xuanxuan then looked at Song Xiaoru and said, "Looks like Xiaoru is a bit of a brother-complex too."

Song Xiaodong glared and said, "Stop talking nonsense all the time, if you don’t want to eat, just go home."

"Eat! Why wouldn’t I eat? Of course, I need to eat," Miao Xuanxuan said as she eagerly took a seat.

With Miao Xuanxuan joining them, the atmosphere at the dinner table became much more enjoyable, Song Xiaoru’s face constantly beamed with a sweet smile as she looked back and forth between Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan.

Song Xiaodong knew his sister all too well and could tell right away what her glances meant. They were clearly the kind of looks someone gives to a prospective sister-in-law.

Song Xiaodong was also a little puzzled. What was Miao Xuanxuan up to? Were they really getting along so well now that he’d come over to their place to freeload meals?

After dinner and chatting for a while, Miao Xuanxuan got up to leave, and Song Xiaoru immediately said, "Xiaodong, go see Xuanxuan off, this place isn’t exactly peaceful, don’t let him run into any bad people."

Miao Xuanxuan pouted and said, "If we’re talking about bad guys, Xiaodong here is a major bad guy. I just need to keep an eye on him."

Song Xiaoru immediately put on a stern face and said, "He’s been bad to you? Tell me, so I can take care of him later," but there was a clear hint of amusement on her face.

"Ah!" Miao Xuanxuan suddenly realized his slip of the tongue and quickly covered his mouth, then dashed out. Song Xiaodong’s face instantly darkened. What kind of expression is that? It’s as if he’s telling Song Xiaoru that there’s something going on between them...
