Chapter 479: Chapter 479: Rubbing Salt into the Wound
“Bro, what’s wrong? You don’t seem in high spirits,” Fang Qianqian, who joined Fang Dongxun on the outing today, immediately approached him, noticing he returned with an unfriendly expression, and joked, “Could it be that your fiancée went out to have fun with another guy? By the look on your face, it’s as if your girlfriend was stolen and someone put a green hat on you.”
Fang Dongxun did not expect his own sister to speak so venomously, nearly choking on his anger. But in front of so many people, he couldn’t bring himself to scold his little sister, so he said irritably, “If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute.”
“Right, Mr. Fang, isn’t it widely rumored that you’re going to get engaged to the princess of the Yang Family, Yang Qingyin? Why didn’t you invite her to come out and play?” Chen Xiaoxiao, who came along with Fang Qianqian to join the fun, giggled and twisted the knife deeper into Fang Dongxun’s wound, even sprinkling some salt, “Isn’t today Sunday? She definitely doesn’t have school. Why didn’t you invite her out to have fun?”
Fang Qianqian, aware of Chen Xiaoxiao’s active pursuit of Yang Qingyin’s brother Yang Qingye, immediately joined in the clamor, “Bro, are you just shy? After all, Qingyin has a big reputation, different from other girls. How about I call her for you? I can invite both her and her brother. The more the merrier, right?”
“Hurry up and call,” as soon as Fang Qianqian mentioned inviting both Yang Qingyin and Yang Qingye, Chen Xiaoxiao seemed very excited and urged Fang Qianqian, “Your brother must be too embarrassed to directly invite Qingyin or maybe he’s afraid she would be too shy to come out. Don’t worry, we’ll help you invite her. Qianqian, make the call quickly.”
As she spoke, she pulled Fang Qianqian towards the car because their bags had been thrown in there, and they hadn’t brought their cell phones with them.
Fang Dongxun, seething with anger, thought about reprimanding Fang Qianqian and Chen Xiaoxiao, but in the end, he could only growl fiercely, “You two, can you please stop making trouble?”
“We’re trying to help you, not make trouble,” Fang Qianqian, not at all intimidated by Fang Dongxun’s threat, ignored his reaction and headed to the car with Chen Xiaoxiao, reaching for her phone from her bag.
As a wealthy heiress, Fang Qianqian knew Yang Qingyin’s phone number, although she seldom contacted her.
Possibly out of jealousy and dissatisfaction, neither Chen Xiaoyi nor Chen Xiaoxiao, nor Fang Qianqian, would invite Yang Qingyin out to play. They felt Yang Qingyin was too arrogant and cold, with a personality that clashed with theirs, and they didn’t enjoy her company.
The call connected quickly, and Yang Qingyin’s voice came through the phone.
“Qingyin, it’s Qianqian. Today, my brother and I are out on a picnic, barbecuing over at Miyu Reservoir. Come and join us. Ah?! You’ve gone out with your classmates and can’t make it today? Hehe, no worries, we’ll be here all afternoon; you can make it then, right? You’re busy this afternoon too? Well, okay then! Wait, is that a male classmate I hear with you? Oh, okay, then have a good time.”
After hanging up, Fang Qianqian said to Chen Xiaoxiao with a dejected expression, “She said she’s out with classmates and can’t come over.”
Chen Xiaoxiao had actually heard the conversation between the two; yearning for Yang Qingye to join, she felt quite down as well after hearing the news.
When the two returned to Fang Dongxun’s side, Fang Qianqian said with a gloomy face, “Bro, your fiancée doesn’t want to come over. She’s gone out to play with male classmates.”
Of course, Fang Qianqian said this to provoke him, as she, although hearing the voice of a man over the phone with Yang Qingyin, assumed they were out in a group just like themselves, so she didn’t really take it to heart. But because she wasn’t feeling particularly thrilled, she decided to tease Fang Dongxun in his presence.
Unexpectedly, this comment infuriated Fang Dongxun, and he finally couldn’t hold back his roar, “Enough is enough, can you stop messing around? Go away and stop annoying me!”
Then, grabbing a can of beer, he popped it open with a “pssht” and strode towards a lounge chair, drinking as he went.
Seeing Fang Dongxun like this, Fang Qianqian, who was normally doted on by him, couldn’t help but be shocked, and Chen Xiaoxiao was also taken aback.
“What’s gotten into my brother?” Fang Qianqian asked Chen Xiaoxiao with a puzzled look, completely at a loss.
“Yeah, what’s gotten into your brother?” After her eyes flicked around a few times, Chen Xiaoxiao suddenly had a brainwave and whispered, “Could it be that Yang Qingyin is actually dating another guy and really put a green hat on him?”
“That’s impossible!” Fang Qianqian shook her head, “She’s so picky; does she even fancy any guys?”
Seeing Chen Xiaoxiao like that, Fang Qianqian’s mind raced, and she asked, “You’re not still hung up on Yang Qingye, are you?”
“So what if I’m not over him?” Chen Xiaoxiao glared at her and then plopped down on the folding chair beside her, “Both the siblings are quite detestable.”
“Hehe, I think that little guy who played with your sister that day is not bad, even better-looking than Yang Qingye,” Fang Qianqian said with a sleazy laugh.
“Are you encouraging me to compete with my sister for a boyfriend?” Chen Xiaoxiao pouted her pretty lips, “With her attitude, being so enthusiastic about a guy clearly means she has her sights set on him.”
“Are you afraid that you can’t compete with your sister? Hmph, to handle such a young guy, being bold enough to throw yourself at him will definitely win him over,” Fang Qianqian said shamelessly: “Why don’t we try it together? Even if we can’t snatch him away, getting a taste of him wouldn’t be bad. Looking at his sturdy body, he’s sure to satisfy you!”
Chen Xiaoxiao’s face turned red instantly, and she pinched Fang Qianqian, “I’m not as cheap as you!”
“Look, Big Sis, what era are we living in? Still holding onto that sort of mentality? It’s not like we’re getting married, having a bit of fun is no big deal, even if he eventually marries your sister, so what? It’s too much of a pity not to experience what a good man tastes like,” Fang Qianqian said, laughing triumphantly, “Anyway, I’m going to give it a try, lure him into bed first!”
“You’re so shameless,” Chen Xiaoxiao looked at her with contempt but seemed somewhat persuaded by Fang Qianqian’s words, “When we set a day to hang out with him, I’ll come along and lend you a hand.”
“Is it your heart that’s fluttering?” Fang Qianqian squeezed Chen Xiaoxiao’s chest and whispered: “Looks like you’ve been well moisturized!”
“Keep talking nonsense, and I’ll tear your mouth apart,” Chen Xiaoxiao became furiously embarrassed and pretended to hit Fang Qianqian.
Fang Qianqian ran away laughing.
While Fang Qianqian and Chen Xiaoxiao were discussing matters concerning him, Luo Ziling was intimately spending time with Yang Qingyin.
After carrying a very tired Yang Qingyin up to a Beacon Tower, Luo Ziling jumped onto the battlement and seeing Yang Qingyin standing there catching her breath, he couldn’t help but tease her, “Senior Sister, if you had just agreed to go play with Fang Dongxun, then I would jump down from here, and I’d be done for!”
With her pretty face blushing, Yang Qingyin looked nervously at Luo Ziling standing so high up and said, “Stop messing around, come down quickly. If you slip, it will truly become an everlasting regret!”
Behind where Luo Ziling stood was a cliff at least a hundred meters deep; if he really jumped down, how could he possibly survive?
“Give me a kiss voluntarily, and I’ll come down!”
“In your dreams!”
“Then I’m jumping!” Luo Ziling said and indeed jumped off.
Yang Qingyin never expected Luo Ziling to actually jump and couldn’t help but scream out loud.
