“She’s lying! She clearly wants Brother Hao Bai!” A girl suddenly sprang out from the house—wasn’t she the same girl from before? She was gripping the old man’s arm and shaking it, trying to get him to strike me down.
“Ahem, we can’t put it that way. We must consider a broader perspective. I, Xiao Xin, am loved by everyone. What if Jing Hao Bai falls for me at first sight and insists on marrying me?”
Since he’ll eventually become my husband, what’s wrong with me saying I’m looking for him now?” I continued holding the old man’s hand.
“He’s in the bamboo forest behind. Whether he likes it or not is his own business. I just hope the young lady doesn’t force anything.” The old man spoke calmly, causing the girl beside him to stomp her foot indignantly: “Daddy!” She glared at me and rushed back into the house.
Releasing the old man’s hand, I waved at him: “Thank you, sir! When I’ve won over my beauty, I’ll definitely come back to pay my respects!”
“That old man was quite understanding,” Xiao Zi said with a light smile.
Understanding? I looked at my hand. Just after the old man said “what brings you here,” I had instantly moved, gripped his hand, and pinched his pulse point, preventing him from causing harm.
“Is it you?” Jing Haobo seemed to have a very good impression of me. I hurriedly responded, “Yes, yes, it’s me.”
“What are you doing here?” Jing Haobo turned his head. Wow, he’s truly an exceptionally beautiful man! I struggled to contain my excitement, realizing the number one handsome man in the martial world was indeed not an exaggeration!
Unlike Xiao Zi’s demonic charm, Xiao Chen’s ethereal style, Xiao Yin’s tranquility, and Yi Qing’s gentleness, Jing Haobo exudes a refined and elegant gentleman vibe—gentle yet not distant. Like a fine jade pendant, he offers a warm feeling even when cold.
“I came to see you.” My eyes squinted in satisfaction. Beautiful man, oh beautiful man, just surrender to me.
“Now that you’ve seen me, you can leave.” With that, he vanished in an instant.
