Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Played Miao Qingqing

"I love hearing that, let’s do what we both enjoy the most."

Upon hearing this, Miao Qingqing immediately felt irritated, "Look at you, Miao Xuanxuan, getting bolder by the day."

"Okay, then come pick me up," Miao Qingqing said in a coquettish tone, making it hard to associate her with the image of a beautiful female boss.

"Or you could just come over here since I don’t have a car. Oh, and you can book the room too, that way, I can save some money."

Miao Qingqing’s face turned green in an instant. How shameless could he be? Asking Miao Xuanxuan to even pay for the room? Could he be any less decent?

"Alright, wait for me a bit, I’ll call you when I get there," Miao Qingqing said, barely holding back her anger.

"Sure, and once the room is booked, go get cleaned up and wait for me."

"Fine!" Miao Qingqing couldn’t continue any longer. If she went on, she felt she might explode.

After getting dressed, Miao Qingqing opened the door and saw Miao Xuanxuan. He tilted his head, sizing her up, and said with a cheeky smile, "Hey, you’re actually in casual wear. Are you planning to use me to deceive people? I must tell you, you better not mess around and ruin my reputation."

"You have a reputation?" Miao Qingqing glared fiercely at Miao Xuanxuan and walked away quickly. Just looking at Miao Xuanxuan made her blood boil.

Miao Qingqing had booked the room and was sitting on the bed with a gloomy expression. She didn’t know when a pencil in the room had been broken into four pieces by her.

She had thought Song Xiaodong would rush over immediately, but after waiting almost an hour, Song Xiaodong still hadn’t arrived.

"Hello, why haven’t you come yet?" Miao Qingqing called Song Xiaodong.

"Oh, right away, I’m already on the road."

In a sweet voice, Miao Qingqing said, "Then hurry up, I’m waiting for you." After hanging up the phone, she gritted her teeth.

Half an hour passed and Song Xiaodong still hadn’t arrived, which made Miao Qingqing even more frustrated. She called him again and said, "Weren’t you on the road? How come you’re not here yet?"

"There’s a traffic jam, don’t worry, don’t worry, have another bath, make yourself whiter."

Miao Qingqing agreed and was about to hang up when she suddenly heard a chuckle from Song Xiaodong over the phone, and immediately realized something was off. She quickly picked up the phone and exclaimed, "Song Xiaodong!"

This was her usual way of speaking.

"Oh, I haven’t hung up yet. What’s up?" Song Xiaodong’s voice came through, clearly with a teasing note.

Miao Qingqing said through gritted teeth, "You jerk, did you know all along that I wasn’t Xuanxuan?"

"I’m saying, Miao Qingqing, if you’re going to pretend to be Xuanxuan to trick me, you should at least familiarize yourself with the situation thoroughly, okay? Xuanxuan and I are just friends who get along well. You actually assume the worst. It’s disrespectful to both me and Xuanxuan. Tricking you this time is a consequence of your own actions. Of course, if you’re jealous, I might still forgive you. But if it’s just about you thinking you’re acting for Xuanxuan’s best interests, then I truly despise that."

Miao Qingqing was initially very upset by Song Xiaodong’s trickery, but after his rebuke, she was left speechless. It seemed she really had adopted the most malicious perspective in estimating Song Xiaodong’s intentions, which was fundamentally wrong. Validating a wrong judgement with incorrect methods was indeed a compounded mistake.

"I still have to accompany my sister, I don’t have time to bother with you, entertain yourself." Song Xiaodong dropped another line and then hung up the phone.

"Hello... hello..." Miao Qingqing called out twice, only to be met with a dial tone, which left her rather frustrated. She had no choice but to call again.

"Song Xiaodong, don’t hang up the phone. I know I messed up, and I sincerely apologize to you."

"Wow, you, the pampered princess, are actually apologizing to me? That’s not easy at all."

"Come on, you’re a man, don’t be so petty. I’m really at the hotel. Can you come over? I have something I want to discuss with you."

"You actually booked a room waiting for me?" It was Song Xiaodong’s turn to be surprised.

"I just wanted a quiet place to talk; don’t think too much about it."

"Well, if a beauty invites, how can I not go?"

This time, Song Xiaodong truly hurried over. Throughout his time spent with Miao Xuanxuan, he had essentially ruled out that Miao Xuanxuan was the person from two years ago. Thus, by the process of elimination, that person had to be Miao Qingqing. Knowing Miao Qingqing was waiting for him at the hotel indeed stirred his heart.

It took less than twenty minutes for Song Xiaodong to arrive at the hotel and directly head to Miao Qingqing’s room.

Miao Qingqing let Song Xiaodong in, but the moment she closed the door, she suddenly realized something—it might be inappropriate, a man and a woman alone in a room. Could this lead to trouble?

"What did you want to talk about?" Song Xiaodong took a seat on the couch and casually lit a cigarette.

"Hey, you can’t smoke here." Miao Qingqing immediately glared at Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong squinted his eyes and pointed to the ashtray on the coffee table, saying, "This room allows smoking. It’s not a non-smoking room."

Miao Qingqing rolled her eyes at Song Xiaodong and said, "Then go ahead and smoke. I really don’t understand you men who smoke; you know it’s bad for your health, and yet you still do it?"

"I’m a doctor; I know what will affect my health." Song Xiaodong grinned.

Miao Qingqing was speechless and could only glare fiercely at him again, saying, "Song Xiaodong, here’s the thing. Today, after you saved President Cui, he was extremely grateful. He even said he wants you to check his health again tomorrow."

"And you agreed?" Song Xiaodong looked at Miao Qingqing.

"Yes, I agreed. I know it wasn’t right making decisions for you in private, but at that time, I was acting as your girlfriend, so I couldn’t really refuse. I hope you can help me with this. What do you think?"

Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, "No, I can’t help with this."

Miao Qingqing immediately asked, "Why? Is it about money? I can pay you. How much do you want?"

"It’s not a matter of money."

"Then what is it?"

Song Xiaodong’s eyes narrowed, and he said, "You said... you asked me to fulfill the duties of a boyfriend, help you save someone, negotiate a big deal, and then even have to deal with boring body checks. And yet, you don’t grant me any of the rights that a boyfriend should have. Is that really okay?"

"Rights? What do you want to do?" Miao Qingqing subconsciously hugged her shoulders, nervously watching Song Xiaodong.
