Chapter 302: Chapter 305 I’m Seriously Asking You_1

Young Master Yang may have a low emotional quotient, but his ability to make up stuff is top-notch.

He cleared his throat a couple of times, then said: "Ahem, the thing is, I have something tonight and won’t be able to make it to your place."

Su Xiaoxi was taken aback. Her beautiful eyes shimmered with an indescribable gleam. She collected herself and asked lightly, "Because of Yang Fei?"

"Yes." Yang Gang recovered his wits and quickly added, "But not the way you think."

"Hmm... then what is it?" asked Su Xiaoxi lightly.

"Well... it’s just..."

Before Yang Gang could come up with an excuse, Su Xiaoxi lightly laughed, "No need to make up an excuse. In a nutshell, if you can’t come over, then you can’t blame me for not fulfilling my marital duties. Goodnight, darling."

After hanging up, Su Xiaoxi got up and poured herself a glass of red wine. She then carried her glass to the balcony, gazing silently at Hangcheng beneath the night sky.

She swirled the wine in her glass, her expression calm and unreadable, lost in thought.

At that moment, her phone rang.

Su Xiaoxi returned to her room to pick up the phone, glanced at the caller ID, then pressed the answer key.

"Hello, Miao Miao."

"Eh, Little Xi, you sound low. Did you have a fight with your lover?" Zhang Miao laughed.

Su Xiaoxi rolled her eyes, "What lover?"

"Handsome He Deng, of course. You’re pretending to be ignorant, aren’t you?"

Su Xiaoxi fell silent, then after a moment, asked with uncertainty, "Hey, Miao Miao, do people think I’m too close to He Deng?"

"It’s more than just closeness. To everyone, you two seem like a couple. Although it’s kind of a blow to poor Gang, from an outsider’s perspective, you and He Deng are a perfect match."

"No. Although I’m often with He Deng, we’re just work partners. And we haven’t done anything inappropriate. Mature and rational men would understand that, wouldn’t they?"

Zhang Miao sighed: "Unfortunately, your precious Gang is not mature yet. His tolerance level isn’t enough to accept ’fiancée often with another man alone’ calmly. He’s just a common man who can feel hate, blame, jealousy, and anger."

"But Gang is also often with Xiaorou, and I didn’t see Zhang Yu making a fuss about it," Su Xiaoxi chimed in.

Zhang Miao: ...

She hesitated for a moment before then lightly saying: "Just because Zhang Yu doesn’t say anything doesn’t mean he’s unbothered. It’s just that there are some things he can’t change."

"You’re being too cryptic. I don’t understand." Su Xiaoxi paused, then added: "Miao Miao, this trait of yours is really annoying. In our circle, you’re like this detached goddess observing our romances from a God’s view."

"What can I do? I’m a steadfast single lady and super intelligent too!" Zhang Miao laughed.

Su Xiaoxi rolled her eyes again, "Give you a little praise, and you really let it go to your head."

Laughing, Zhang Miao paused for a moment before suddenly asking, "Little Xi, seriously, do you really like Yang Gang?"

Su Xiaoxi fell silent. After a long while, a look of confusion filled her eyes: "I don’t know. I’ve always treated him like family. But during this trip to Hangcheng, I realized my feelings for Gang have shifted slightly. Besides the blood-deep camaraderie, there’s also some inexplicable feeling."

"That inexplicable feeling might be love," Zhang Miao suggested lightly.

"I don’t know. I just know when I see Gang with other women, I feel very uncomfortable."

"Miss, that’s called possessiveness. Little Xi, just admit it. You like Gang, not as a relative, but as a lover," Zhang Miao said lightly.

Su Xiaoxi looked puzzled: "Like Gang? How could that be? You know, I’m a single lady too, never considered marriage."

"Even now, you don’t have the desire to get married?" Zhang Miao asked lightly.

Su Xiaoxi shook her head: "No. Having seen too many disastrous marriages, I’m truly terrified of marriage."

Now it was Zhang Miao’s turn to fall silent.

After a while, Zhang Miao spoke again in that light, casual tone: "Little Xi, just break it off with Gang already. Keeping him on the hook like this is also hurting him."

After a pause, Zhang Miao added, "Gang, he has been in love for so many years, even though it has been very hard, he never gave up on love. He has always looked forward to having a warm marriage, because it will give him a sense of home. But, you can’t give him that."

"Miao Miao, are you saying I should break up with Gang?" Su Xiaoxi’s voice trembled slightly.

"Yes. Since you can’t give Gang the happiness he seeks, give another woman the chance to. Gang might be a silly goody-two-shoes, but he deserves his own happiness. Of course..."

Zhang Miao paused then chuckled, "Of course, this is just my personal advice. You don’t have to take it. Perhaps this is manipulative Miss Zhang Miao deliberately stirring up trouble to make you break up with Gang, and then take him for herself. Hehe."

Su Xiaoxi was speechless.

"Just kidding." Zhang Miao yawned, "Alright, enough chatting. I’m going to bed."

After ending the call with Zhang Miao, Su Xiaoxi downed the rest of her wine, then stared blankly at the neon lights flickering beneath the night sky, lost in thought.

...

At the Yang’s villa.

The Yang’s villa has an unexpected visitor.

It turns out to be Little Qi who has been missing for many days.

"Yang Gang, is Zhang Yu in Hangcheng?" Little Qi cut to the chase.

Yang Gang was startled: "Little Qi, what are you up to? You’re not planning to kill Zhang Yu are you? Hey, hey, even if you like Gu Xiaorou that much, you can’t use this method right? Moreover, are you even sure you can kill Zhang Yu?"

"Tch!" Little Qi sneered, "I’m not that bored."

"So, why are you looking for Zhang Yu? For a little drink?"

Little Qi looked at Yang Gang, calmly stated, "I am officially declaring war on him: I want to compete fairly with him for Gu Xiaorou."

Having said that, Little Qi made his exit.

It took Young Master Yang a while to process this.

"What the hell? What was Little Qi up to? He declared a war against Zhang Yu, so why come to me?"

Yang Gang contemplated while stroking his chin, "Xiaorou will be back in Hangcheng soon. Zhang Yu’s partner Dong Qian is still in Hangcheng. Will these love-rivals fight when they meet? And then there’s Little Qi and Zhang Yu, these love-rivals too..."

What a complicated circle this is.
