Chapter 74: Be My Girlfriend

more suspicious it becomes. 。"Boss……” Shen Er suddenly raised his head, his eyes widening in fright!He had followed Shen Xiuqin for so long, when Shen Xiuqin finished speaking, Shen Er almost knew wh...Jian Tong was forcibly dragged out by Xiao Heng.

The night market buzzed with activity, the cries of street vendors filling the air. Xiao Heng held her hand, but she was unaccustomed to being led this way. She tried to pull away a few times, but he just chuckled and pulled her back, his grip unwavering.

At this moment, wandering through the night market, the aroma of food surrounds me.

Jian Tong walked slowly, Xiao Heng did not urge her.

She looked up and saw the person holding her hand, that strong and slender back... Xiao Heng didn't urge her to hurry, but she noticed this man slowing his pace without saying a word.

The night market was very crowded, it being a weekend made it even more so. There were couples everywhere.

In the bustling crowd, a handsome and dashing man was walking slowly with a woman of less than average appearance.

This in itself is a striking combination.

Jian Tong instinctively wanted to dodge the gazes that were fixed on her... She hated those stares intensely.

Can you please, stop looking

Can you please, don't look at yourself like that

Those gazes, as if they were trying to look into her very flesh and bone.

Can I…

"Let go! Let go!" Her hands struggled frantically: "Xiao Shao, please let go of me!"

"Please!"

In a voice rough with power, almost a guttural roar!

Her wrist was already red from being twisted, “Please…” her voice, finally from the throes of a silent scream, revealed a glimmer of pleading.

She looked at Xiao Heng, and Xiao Heng turned his head to look at her. Suddenly, Xiao Heng let go of her hand. Jian Tong hadn't had time to breathe a sigh of relief when Xiao Heng tightly clasped her hand again this time, tighter than before. From the palm of Xiao Heng's hand, she felt a surge of masculine strength.

"Don't be afraid, who are they" Xiao Heng said as he suddenly pulled Jian Tong closer to him with a force from his palm. The next second, he hugged Jian Tong tightly. He raised his head and looked around:

"Look Look what Haven't you ever seen a couple shopping affectionately"

Those myriad eyes that had been surrounding him, were quelled by Xiao Heng's loud rebuke.

"Come, let's eat." Xiao Heng then forcefully hugged Jian Tong's shoulders, half-hugging and half-pushing her into a small alley.

In the alley, there was a beef noodle shop. The noodles weren't as delicate as those in the outside shops, and even seemed a bit old. Xiao Heng half-forcefully pulled Jian Tong into the shop:

"Boss, two bowls of beef noodle soup."

"Ah, Xiao Xiaozi, what brings you here today" The boss was a man in his fifties with some gray hair, but he wore a perpetual smile and was very friendly. Seeing Xiao Heng walk in, he hurriedly put down his work, wiped his hands on his apron, and poured a cup of hot water for both Xiao Heng and Jian Tong first.

"What is this"

"He's my friend," Jian Tong said.

Xiao Heng smiled. “Girlfriend.” He then raised his head to look at the old uncle in the noodle shop, “Uncle Hu, isn’t my girlfriend great”

Simple was stunned… Girlfriend

She stared blankly at Xiao Heng as he chatted with that amiable Uncle Hu, who seemed to have a different story for each side of his face.

"Uncle Hu, don't listen to Xiao..."

"Well, this young lady is quite good. She's pretty and well-proportioned, but she's a little too thin."

Jian Tong stared blankly... She looked at Hu Shu with suspicion. How did this Hu Shu tell that her features were good-looking

Three years ago, Jian Tong's face was indeed pretty, but now it appears much more world-weary.

"Little Xiaozi, your Uncle Hu is going to cook beef noodles."

"Uncle Hu, I really don't..."

Jian Tong wanted to explain, but Old Man Hu had already walked away. She was stunned for a while...

"Hey hey, hey hey. You like daydreaming so much"

Beside her ear, a teasing male voice rang out. Jian Tong came back to her senses and looked at the handsome face across from her. A strange feeling suddenly surged in her heart, and she softly and strangely called out, “Xiao Zi”

Xiao Heng paused mid-air, teasing her mischievous hand, his ears suddenly reddening as he hurriedly explained: "Don't listen to Uncle Hu. When I was little, my family didn't let me eat snacks and had strict control over my diet. That's why I loved sneaking here to Uncle Hu's place for a bowl of beef noodles."

Let me tell you, Uncle Hu's beef noodles are a family recipe passed down for generations. They say it dates back to the Ming and Qing dynasties, and you can't find anything like it outside.

"Little Xiaozi," a hint of a smile flickered in Jian Tong's eyes. At this moment, she had a trace of the innocent spirit she possessed three years ago.

Xiao Heng flushed from his earlobes to his neck, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Hu is an elder, you're not. Don't learn from Uncle Hu and call me that way, just call me Ah Heng."

Jian Tong remained silent. Two bowls of steaming beef noodles were brought to the table by Hu Shu, “Eat while it’s hot, I’ll add more if you need it.” He then specifically instructed Xiao Heng, "Let your girlfriend eat a little more, she's so thin, how do you do as a boyfriend"

"I really didn't…" was his girlfriend…

"Yes, yes, yes," Xiao Heng cut Jian Tong off, smiling and hurrying Hu Shu away. "Hu Shu, you go about your business. Me and my girlfriend are being lovey-dovey here, don't you old geezer dare peep!"

"Go to hell, you little brat." Hu Shu smiled and threw down a sentence.

Jian Tong looked at Xiao Heng: "Why did you deceive Uncle Hu I'm not your girlfriend at all."

Xiao Heng held chopsticks in his hand, handing them to Jian Tong while saying, "Who said I deceived Uncle Hu" He suddenly raised his head: "Jian Tong, think about me."

Too shocked!

That came out of nowhere!

Jian Tong's ears buzzed, and she stared blankly at Xiao Heng for a while... "Mr. Xiao, you just... what did you say"

A burn appeared on the back of her hand, and she heard Xiao Heng say, "I said, how about being my girlfriend Let's give it a try."

Jian Tong quickly retracted her hand and didn't hesitate: "Mr. Xiao, the noodles are cold, and... please don't make this joke again in the future."

"I'm not opening..."

"You are!" Jian Tong suddenly glared and shouted: "You must be joking, Mr. Xiao!"

"I…" Xiao Heng wanted to say something, but his voice suddenly stopped. He looked at Jian Tong for a moment and sighed: "Yes, I was joking. The noodles are getting cold, eat them."

She was too stubborn, the pain that had just flashed in her eyes, did not escape Xiao Heng's keen gaze.

After a while, “You’re not eating scallions” Xiao Heng looked up and saw that even though Jian Tong was trying to be discreet, she kept avoiding the tender green scallions. Xiao Heng didn't say a word. He stretched out his long arm and directly took the bowl in front of Jian Tong, bringing it to himself.

Jian Tong was truly dumbfounded this time. The man across from her deftly scooped all the chopped green onions from her bowl into his own: "Here you go, I love scallions the most."

Jian Tong was still staring blankly at the beef noodles that had been put back in front of her. There wasn't a single sprinkle of chopped green onions in the bowl.

After finishing the beef noodle soup, Xiao Heng grabbed Jian Tong's hand again. He walked half an arm's length in front of her, leading her through the crowd with her hand clasped in his. Every now and then, he would tell Jian Tong about his childhood anecdotes while she trailed half a step behind him.

Behind her, Jian Tong's eyes were fixed straight on the two intertwined hands, completely stunned. She remained motionless as the man in front of her led her through the crowd.

"You, aren't you afraid of losing face"

Suddenly, she asked.

"Why are you ashamed"

Jian Tong opened her mouth, hesitated for a long time, and finally managed to squeeze out a voice from her throat: "Because I'm a joke."

"Jokes bring people joy and positive energy. Why would I feel ashamed of something positive"

"...Can...understand it this way"

Jian Tong lowered her head, she felt herself to be so despicable... As Mr. Xiao led her to dinner, the whole way, all she could think about was: Maybe ask Mr. Xiao for help, recommend herself to him, maybe, she could sell herself for a good price.

"Do you have anything to say" Just as Xiao Heng sent Jian Tong to the gate of the Eastern Emperor, Xiao Heng suddenly stopped Jian Tong and asked.

Jian Tong opened her mouth, for a long while……

"No, nothing. Nothing at all." Originally, she wanted to brazenly ask a man: "Would you pay money for me" But right now, Jian Tong only felt her throat was dry and scratchy, unable to voice the question.

Glancing at Xiao Heng's face, she turned and hurried towards the East Imperial Gate, as if fleeing from something.

But her leg was slow, so she walked forward like a clown, dragging it along.

He dared not look back, his heart constantly churning with shame: "Jian Tong, you are so ugly!" "Jian Tong, you are so disgusting!"

Standing before the elevator, with a *ding*, the doors opened. She was just about to step in when she looked up and saw that the man inside had sculpted features full of anger and coldness.

Instinct, Jian Tong took a half step back, instinctively feeling that this man was terrifying at the moment. A hand reached out from inside the elevator and quickly pulled her in.

Before she could even steady herself, a hot body pressed her against the elevator wall. Without a word, a wave of kisses rained down on her.

Jian Tong's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a surge of anger. She reached out to push back, but her hands were grasped by a pair of large ones, lifted high above her head, and pressed against the elevator wall.

"Ugh! Ugh ugh ugh!" Let go! Stop!

She struggled, but he pinned her down with his long limbs.

His kiss, her evasion.

His anger, her fear.

The elevator door opened, and the person outside gasped: "Jian Jian Jian Tong"

Jian Tong's heart was in turmoil, and from the corner of her eye, she glanced. Her eyes widened... "Hmm!" She struggled even harder.

Shen Xiujin didn't even look at the people outside. He raised a hand and pressed the close door button!

The elevator went straight to the 28th floor without stopping at any other levels this time.

The man squinted with his narrow, elongated phoenix eyes, glanced at the breathless Jian Tong, bent down and hugged her, then strode out.

Not a single word did the man utter from beginning to end, until Jian Tong was thrown onto the bed.

Jian Tong was thrown onto the big bed, bouncing once before stabilizing herself. She braced herself with her arms, preparing to push herself up, when she saw at the foot of the bed, Shen Xiu Jin silently unbuttoning his white shirt.ing understood Shen Xiu jing, looking at Shen Xiu jing like this, his heart skipped a beat, “Then, what about her”What about her"She" refers to whom need not be reminded, both parties understand.For t...
