Chapter 177: To be a judge once 2

"Huh? Okay then!" Leng Xuan inwardly groaned, thinking these two girls were really putting him on the spot asking him to be the judge. Wasn’t this just setting him up for trouble? Although that’s what he thought, he managed to keep a poker face and picked up a charred piece of lean meat with his chopsticks, placing it into his mouth. After chewing gently twice, he swallowed it, despite the outside being burnt and the inside still raw, and then he seriously said, "Hmm, it’s actually not bad, kind of has a barbeque flavor!"

With a snort of laughter, Li Mengjie burst into chuckles and said, "I’m just wondering why you didn’t mention it tastes like charcoal, Mr. Cold Bodyguard."

Ling Xuejiu’s face turned red, and she glared at Li Mengjie fiercely...

After dinner, when Leng Xuan came out with the cleaned dishes, the two young ladies were sitting on the living room couch watching TV. As he appeared, Li Mengjie turned off the television, then Ling Xuejiu hummed and hawed, but noticing that Leng Xuan didn’t even glance at her, she suddenly flared up and shouted, "Leng Xuan, come here!"

"Hm?" Leng Xuan was about to go change his clothes, but he had no choice and walked over, asking, "Miss Ling, what’s up?"

"Sit down!" said Ling Xuejiu.

Leng Xuan responded with an "oh" and took a seat.

Ling Xuejiu nudged Li Mengjie.

"Xuejiu, why are you pushing me?" Li Mengjie feigned ignorance.

Ling Xuejiu was really frustrated. It was Xiao Jie who had suggested they have a proper talk with Leng Xuan, and now she was acting like she knew nothing? It was infuriating. With a snort, she turned to Leng Xuan and said, "Do you even know what your responsibilities are?"

Leng Xuan looked somewhat surprised, not understanding why Miss Ling was looking for trouble with him again. He answered with a wry smile, "To ensure Miss Ling’s safety."

Ling Xuejiu pursed her lips and said, "That’s not a complete answer!"

"Huh?" Leng Xuan paused.

Li Mengjie suddenly said with a grin, "Cold Bodyguard, what Xuejiu means is that you have to stick close to her and not always run off chasing girls."

Ling Xuejiu found the comment quite awkward. Why was Xiao Jie always speaking on her behalf? And the way she said it, it almost seemed like she was jealous of Leng Xuan, which was really aggravating. After glaring at Li Mengjie, she told Leng Xuan, "In short, without my permission, you’re not allowed to go out on your own, got it?"

Leng Xuan acknowledged her with an "okay," his face as impassive as ever. "Is there anything else? If not, I’m going to do the laundry!" With that, he got up and went back to his room. He was truly irritated. It was just a morning out, and since when was his flirting any of Miss Ling’s business?

"Xiao Jie, look at him, that’s his temperament. Every time I talk to him, he acts all indifferent like that," Ling Xuejiu complained to Li Mengjie after Leng Xuan returned to his room.

"Oh~!" Li Mengjie said with a droll smile, "Maybe you should try caring about him a bit, see if it changes his attitude?"

A thought struck Ling Xuejiu. She had never really shown Leng Xuan a good face, hadn’t she? She hesitated and then her pride as Miss Ling came bouncing back. She scoffed, "Why should I? He doesn’t care about me!" As she spoke, her face flushed red and she thought, what a mess this was. Did she really need his care? Ridiculous...

"Hmm, Xuejiu, what did you just say?" Li Mengjie asked, somewhat puzzled.

"No, nothing," Ling Xuejiu replied. "I mean, he’s just a mere bodyguard, definitely not worth my concern!"
