"Don't sully my good name with baseless accusations like that. I'll have you know I'm already seeing someone."
Faced with this soul-searching question, Sun Buxiao shakily took a Pheobe King out of his pocket, lit it, and began reflecting on his life so far-not a particularly long one.
Granted, uh, he had indeed treated Little Yanzi pretty well, but...
Wasn't that a rather strange way to put it?
Your Brother Sun was a tough guy whose fists could hold a standing man and whose arms could carry a galloping horse. His ears had no room for such bizarre words.
"Um, what I meant was... you aren't simply using Brother Xiao Yan, are you?"
Xiao Xun'er also realized that her wording seemed a little off. A flicker of embarrassment crossed her eyes before she grew serious again.
"We'd have to clearly define what counts as using him first."
Sun Buxiao narrowed his eyes, a hint of wariness entering his gaze.
Miss Ku was a bit fussy and wishy-washy, just like her father Hajiyuan, but when it came to Xiao Yan, she could get rather intense.
I'd better hear what she's actually trying to say first.
"You... forget it. That jade fragment is still in your possession, isn't it?"
"Since you still have it, that means you should know something about what's behind it... I don't know what your ultimate goal is, but I hope whatever you're after won't involve Brother Xiao Yan and... the Xiao Clan."
"Otherwise, you'll definitely regret it...!"
Xiao Xun'er spoke quite bluntly-so bluntly that it already amounted to a naked threat.
"Are you telling me what to do?"
Sun Buxiao paid no mind whatsoever to her threat, giving her a distinctly contemptuous smile.
"Are you speaking for yourself, or for your father and the entire Gu Clan?"
