A Real Trap?

244: Chapter 244: Fake Sweetness!

A Real Trap?

The voice was loud and clear, like thunder to the ear.

On the bus, everyone was startled and turned to look.

And Wu Jie abruptly woke up as well.

He turned his head to see, and Tang Xiao’s eyes were practically shooting fire.

He quickly withdrew his hand like a flash of lightning and hastily said,

“I was asleep, it really wasn’t on purpose!”

Tang Xiao replied coldly, “Your hand can move around even when you’re asleep?

Who are you kidding?”

“I really did it unconsciously, I was just dreaming.”

Wu Jie curled his lips and scoffed, “Weren’t you a former War King?

How do you sleep without any alertness?

You even rested on my shoulder.”

Tang Xiao rolled her eyes.

“It’s not like I’m on the battlefield, how can I be alert all the time?

I…

I was just exhausted from taking photos, and I got muddled in my sleep.”

“Me too!”

Wu Jie turned his head to look at Tang Xiao’s expressionless face, “Are you angry?”

“Angry about what?

Worse things have happened, what’s this in comparison?”

Tang Xiao leaned on the window ledge with her elbow and supported her cheek with one hand, sinking into thought.

She wondered why she had been so unguarded.

She could actually lean on Wu Jie’s shoulder and sleep soundly, not even knowing when Wu Jie wrapped his arm around her waist.

If it weren’t for Wu Jie’s ‘slip of the hand’, she wouldn’t have woken up.

This wasn’t being careless!

Nor was it because she was too sleepy!

Tang Xiao had received professional psychological training, and she knew that people subconsciously relax body and mind more in a safe environment.

Like not sleeping deeply in a stranger’s taxi, but being able to sleep soundly and boldly in a close friend’s private car.

But the problem is…

When did I start to trust Wu Jie so much?

This guy is a rogue!

Tang Xiao couldn’t quite figure it out.

Meanwhile, Wu Jie was apologizing to the other newlyweds around him.

“Sorry, force of habit, I slept as if I were at home!”

This apology…

truly made the women blush and the men surprised.

And it completely rendered Tang Xiao speechless.

“Buddy, if you can’t hold it in, just ask the driver to stop and head to a quick hotel!”

Someone, in a soft voice, gave a hint.

Tang Xiao was on the verge of bursting with anger, but the words at the tip of her tongue were swallowed back.

Can’t be bothered to explain!

On this bus, aside from the staff members, everyone was in pairs of newlyweds.

Should she tell them that she and Wu Jie had a fake marriage?

Too unnecessary!

Watching the street scenes fly by outside the window, Tang Xiao continued to ponder life.

Ding ding ding…

Wu Jie’s phone kept ringing, and he quickly opened it to find that the staff had sent photos.

The photos, carefully selected and simply beautified.

Young couples these days all have the habit of posting on social circles, so the photography company specifically considered this.

“Wow!

Look at me in a suit and leather shoes, I look really dashing!”

With an exclamation from Wu Jie, Tang Xiao immediately turned her head to look.

“Did the photos arrive?

Let me see!”

“Look, how sweet we kiss in this picture!” Wu Jie handed over his phone.

Tang Xiao took a look and widened her eyes.

The photographer was really good at capturing moments, lips touching, expression just right.

The photo was exceptionally beautiful.

Wu Jie’s expression carried a bit of dominance, while Tang Xiao seemed a bit startled, as if a young girl being kissed for the first time.

“Tsk tsk!

The more you look, the more you two resemble a married couple!” Wu Jie tsked in wonder.

Tang Xiao pursed her lips and said, “It’s just the photographer’s skill, and for sure this has been photoshopped!”

Wu Jie turned to size up Tang Xiao carefully.

“Look at your complex expression, what’s on your mind?

Do you feel a tiny bit of sweetness and happiness?”

Tang Xiao shook her head, “Sweetness and happiness?

I think it’s quite an achievement not to feel too awkward!”

“Come on!”

Wu Jie snatched back his phone, complaining on the fly,

“I’ve been cooperative enough with you, almost giving myself to you, and yet you say you feel nothing?”

Tang Xiao gave a light snort and smiled, “That just proves we really are not suitable for each other, doesn’t it?”

“Not suitable to still sleep on your brother’s shoulder?”

Wu Jie replied sarcastically, instantly leaving Tang Xiao at a loss for words.

When the last photo finished buffering, Wu Jie asked, “Do you want to post the photos to your friend circle?”

“Even if I don’t post them, I still need them.

Dad’s waiting to see them!

Hurry up!”

As she spoke, Tang Xiao immediately took out her phone.

After transferring the photos to Tang Xiao, Wu Jie casually posted them to his friend circle.

Once Tang Xiao had forwarded them all to her father, she too made a post in her friend circle, officially announcing her ‘single’ status was over.

A moment later, the system notifications began rolling in with good news.

But compared to the previous posting of the marriage certificate, this time the buzz was significantly less.

And there was no hatred, just pure envy and jealousy.

By the time they drove back home, the increase in energy points was insignificant.

Things didn’t look good!

The news of dating and marrying Tang Xiao wasn’t attracting as much envy, jealousy, or hatred anymore.

“Go wash up and hit the sack early.

I’m heading to the special forces base tomorrow, might get back very late!”

After reminding him, Tang Xiao hurried back to the master bedroom.

Wu Jie smiled faintly.

The two had spent the entire day taking wedding photos, striking numerous poses, making various expressions…

For Tang Xiao, who had never been in love, today’s experience was definitely profound.

“If you accidentally fall in love with me, then I might just reluctantly accept it!”

Muttering to himself, Wu Jie went back to his room to change into swim trunks and swim a few laps before washing up and going to bed.

The friend circle was exploding.

There were many likes and congratulatory comments.

It was particularly striking to see comments from Tang Xin, Tang Kun…

these younger brothers and sisters were eerily unanimous in their responses.

“May you have children soon and grow old together!”

It was one thing for strangers to be unaware, but for that crazy girl, Tang Xin, to join the frenzy was another.

Wu Jie felt truly relieved he hadn’t posted ‘that’ kissing photo to his friend circle.

Otherwise, her mockery would have been even harsher.

And looking at Tang Xiao’s friend circle, the situation was strangely the same.

Wu Jie casually liked the post and tossed aside his phone.

He was preparing to read a book to help him fall asleep when a call came from an unknown number from Liuli City.

“Mr.

Wu, it’s me, Xu Feng!”

Wu Jie cursed, “Fuck!

You’re still alive?”

Xu Feng erupted into laughter:

“Haha!

The good die young while scoundrels live forever, so how could anything happen to me?”

“Cut the crap.

I’m already in Liuli City, but I’ve been wearing that watch and necklace for so long, I feel uncomfortable without them!”

“So I want to spend some money to get them back.

Name your price, and I’ll send someone to get them anytime!”

Wu Jie laughed, “The things I give away, there’s no taking back.

You think I’m running a pawn shop?”

“One million, how about that?” Xu Feng made a direct offer.

“Fuck!

You think I’m blind and can’t appreciate value?

Previously, in the car, you bragged those two items are worth five million.

Now you’re only offering one million.

Are they fakes?”

Wu Jie’s voice rose in mocking tones.

Ding!

[System: You’ve gained +23000 hatred from Xu Feng]

Wu Jie silently rejoiced.

This was the first time he had managed to earn Xu Feng’s hatred.

And for someone from a wealthy family like Tang Xin and Tang Kun, it was usually just a few thousand points of hatred.

But Xu Feng’s whopping 23,000 – now that was impressive.

His net personal wealth was even higher than Tang Xiao’s used to be.

After a while, Xu Feng finally said through gritted teeth:

“With my family background, do you think I’d use fakes?

If it weren’t for old times’ sake, I wouldn’t even bother to pay to redeem them, and even if you tried to sell them, they wouldn’t be worth much.”

Wu Jie scoffed, “The items might not be worth much, but I took a risk to drop you at the airport.

After you ran away, they fucking questioned me several times…”

“Flat rate, two million!”

Xu Feng suddenly interrupted with another offer.

“All right!

They’re no use to me.

How should I get them to you?”

“Name a place, and I’ll immediately send someone over with cash to make the exchange!”

Upon hearing this, Wu Jie’s brow furrowed immediately.

Paying two million in cash in the middle of the night to redeem a watch and necklace.

Why did this sound so much like a setup?
