Chapter 551: Chapter 552: Miao Xuanxuan’s Marriage

The next Sunday, Song Xiaodong felt a little guilty when he saw Song Xiaoru, afraid that if his older sister wielded her authority, he’d really be in trouble.

However, Song Xiaoru acted as if everything was normal, and even when Song Xiaodong intentionally found an opportunity to be alone with her, she didn’t bring anything up as if nothing had happened.

This made Song Xiaodong realize that Song Xiaoru was just pretending to be ignorant, which also meant that the relationship between them was truly becoming ambiguous.

It seemed like Song Xiaoru’s pretense of ignorance was actually the best way to get along at the moment. If she cared about it, things would become truly awkward. At this point, Song Xiaodong couldn’t tell whether he felt joy or guilt—ultimately, it seemed best for him to pretend to be ignorant as well.

After a relaxing weekend, Song Xiaodong got busy with work over the next few days. However, on Wednesday, Miao Xuanxuan called him.

"Dongzi, you need to come to the clubhouse quick."

"What’s wrong?" Song Xiaodong’s heart sank upon hearing the urgency in Miao Xuanxuan’s voice.

"That annoying guy actually showed up here looking for me."

"The annoying guy, are you talking about the one the Su Family introduced to you?"

"That’s the one—I mean, what the hell is he doing here? I already rejected him," Miao Xuanxuan said, her voice filled with intense irritation.

"What does he mean by coming here? Do you know?" Song Xiaodong asked, frowning.

Miao Xuanxuan huffed, "What else could it mean? He’s not giving up. Ugh, he’s followed me all the way here—I’m really fed up with him."

Song Xiaodong replied, "Alright, then I’m heading over."

After hanging up the phone, Song Xiaodong told everyone to take a break and then immediately drove to the clubhouse.

In the parking lot of the clubhouse, there was a standout blue Lamborghini. The car, unquestionably priced over ten million, was causing a stir as several people stood around it, clearly envious of such a luxury vehicle.

Without a doubt, that was the guy’s car. Song Xiaodong frowned; he had known this situation wouldn’t be simple, but it seemed the guy was going overboard in his pursuit of Miao Xuanxuan. He probably came here just to tell Miao Xuanxuan that their relationship was a done deal.

When Song Xiaodong reached the third floor, he saw a large group of people gathered at the top of the stairs, and as some of them caught sight of him, their expressions turned curious.

In the eyes of the clubhouse members, Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan were a couple. Now, someone was openly trying to woo Miao Xuanxuan and Song Xiaodong had hurried over, promising an interesting show.

Making his way through the crowd, Song Xiaodong saw three men surrounding Miao Xuanxuan. The one in the middle held a large bouquet of roses while Miao Xuanxuan frowned, looking impatient.

Miao Xuanxuan snapped, "Hey, I already told you I don’t like you, and I have a boyfriend." Then she caught sight of Song Xiaodong and immediately pointed at him, shouting loudly, "See? My boyfriend is here!"

Song Xiaodong walked straight over, and Miao Xuanxuan immediately latched onto his arm, tilting her chin up defiantly as she glared at the man.

The man was about twenty-five or twenty-six, with a gaunt face and a sallow complexion, evidently someone who indulged too much in alcohol and pleasure. His looks were decent, and he was expensively dressed, a typical rich kid.

This guy named Sun Zi’ang glanced at Song Xiaodong and said indifferently, "You don’t have to lie to me, I know who he is, Song Xiaodong, right, Miao Qingqing’s boyfriend."

Miao Xuanxuan’s face changed as she said, "What nonsense are you spouting, he’s my boyfriend."

Sun Zi’ang smiled slightly and said, "Xuanxuan, there’s no need to lie to me. I already know everything about you and Qingqing here, do you think I don’t know about your relationship with him? Using him as a shield is pointless. Even if he really was your boyfriend, our families have already arranged our marriage, and you must marry me."

Miao Xuanxuan’s expression grew even uglier as she said, "I’ll make my own decisions about my life, I don’t need anyone else to do it for me."

Sun Zi’ang’s smile deepened as he said, "It’s not for you to decide, and your refusal means nothing. I suggest that we get along well to avoid any disputes after we get married, that would not be good."

Miao Xuanxuan clenched her teeth and said, "Keep dreaming, even if I were to marry a chicken or a dog, that would be my decision, and you can’t control me."

Sun Zi’ang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don’t be so sure, look at me, I’m here sincerely pursuing you, so that when you do marry me, it won’t be awkward. I’m doing really well."

"You’re doing great my ass," Miao Xuanxuan retorted angrily, then grabbed Song Xiaodong’s arm and said, "Let’s go."

Sun Zi’ang didn’t stop Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan, and said leisurely from behind, "There’s only a month left until our wedding day, I hope you get ready soon."

Miao Xuanxuan stumbled and nearly fell, but fortunately, Song Xiaodong steadied her right away.

The two got into the car, and Miao Xuanxuan was still livid, slamming the car door angrily and said, "How could this be? Didn’t my aunt say that it was just a look, that they wouldn’t force me?"

Song Xiaodong started the car and said calmly, "Just look at your mother’s situation now, and you’ll know it’s not that simple."

Miao Xuanxuan turned her head to look at Song Xiaodong and said, "What do we do now? I’m telling you, I would rather die than marry him."

Song Xiaodong replied, "Of course, you’re mine, no one can take you away from me unless you want to."

Miao Xuanxuan said, "Good, as long as you say so, then you think of a way."

Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but laugh, "So, you’re just throwing the problem onto me now, huh?"

"Who let you want to monopolize me? If you don’t think of a way, who will?" Miao Xuanxuan replied, suddenly looking more relaxed.

Song Xiaodong shrugged and said, "Well said, I must carry this burden."

"What’s your plan?" Miao Xuanxuan asked, tilting her head to look at Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong said, "I don’t have any specific plan right now, but there’s always a way to figure something out. Don’t worry, I will definitely solve this problem."

Miao Xuanxuan nodded and said, "Then I’ll leave it to you, hmph, it’s up to you to decide whether to let other men have me or to have me yourself."

"Have..." Song Xiaodong found the word somewhat amusing yet couldn’t help but smile thinking about their time together; even in that regard, they were more playful and happier.
