Chapter 544 - 545: Don’t Push Me Out
Di Mingzhe’s handsome brows furrowed almost instantly, and after a two-second silence he asked, "What do you think?"
"How should I know?" Xiaxia pursed her lips, and suddenly remembered that Fang Hao had insisted he must go.
So, quite urgently, she said, "Actually, I think there is no harm if you do go? After all, it gives a bit of face to mother. You can leave if you do not like it, considering it a free meal."
After saying that, Xiaxia had a very sincere look on her face.
Mingzhe gazed at her, his expression slowly darkening into an undetectable, cold smile, and said faintly, "You really want me to go?"
"As I’ve said, there’s no harm in going." Xiaxia muttered softly. "Mainly because mother entrusted the task of persuading you to go to me."
"Xiaxia, are you being silly?" Mingzhe inhaled deeply, struggling to control his temper.
He had confessed his feelings to her so openly the night before. They both agreed to give it a try, to give him a chance, give him time to love her, to wait for her to love him!
And now, she was suggesting arranged meetings!
Xiaxia also felt it was extremely unfair to say such a thing, but it was Fang Hao who had strongly demanded it.
Fang Hao was also oblivious to the situation between them, and he hadn’t told Fang Hao about it either, so what else could he do?
"I..." Xiaxia blushed and quickly explained, "Actually, it’s not what I want, but rather what the mother desires. Since mother has strongly entrusted it to me to get you there, what can I say? I can’t just refuse mother, and you know very well how difficult mother can be! She’ll certainly curse me out.
Considering you haven’t told mother about us and our situation, how could I deny her?"
She spoke so softly towards the end, sounding quite embarrassed; her face was also tinged slightly pink.
Oh my god, saying all these words made her feel so embarrassed!
It seemed as if she’s forcing Mingzhe to admit their relationship in front of the family.
Something about this seemed so... wrong!
With this thought, Xiaxia quickly added, "It’s alright, you don’t have to go, it’s not a big deal if mother yells at me."
As she hurriedly and flustered explained, Mingzhe seemed helpless as he suddenly grabbed her head.
Xiaxia froze.
Mingzhe looked at her, somewhat exasperated yet resigned, and said, "Xiaxia, stop saying such foolish things. The person I love is you, not some potential match."
Xiaxia, feeling awkward, couldn’t help but lower her gaze and stuttered, "Actually, it doesn’t really matter if you go to the arranged meeting I suppose.."
Her words were cut off by a sudden warmth pressing against her lips.
Xiaxia’s eyes widened, "Hmm..."
This time he didn’t use his hand to create a distance between them, he just leaned in directly, an action that seemed to carry some annoyance.
Their lips met, stirring a strange sensation in the air.
Xiaxia didn’t dare to move, she seemed to be in a stupor.
Mingzhe was looking at her while their lips were pressed together.
Xiaxia’s eyes widened with a hint of fear, but she didn’t resist and didn’t pull away.
Mingzhe parted his thin lips and gently kissed her while suppressing his deep voice, "Xiaxia, don’t even think of pushing me away, or pushing me towards anyone else. Do you hear me?"
