Chapter 94: You Owe Me a Kiss
Hearing Duan Qingxue's question, Xiao Yun couldn't help but feel flustered.
Thinking about her situation with Nie Xiaoqian, she really didn't know how to explain it to Duan Qingxue.
"Well..." Xiao Yun's face turned red, and she stammered, "Sister Qingxue, this... of course it's just you!"
Upon hearing this, Duan Qingxue let out a charming laugh and said, "Alright, don't act like you don't know anything. Nie Xiaoqian is someone you like too, right? Don't worry, I'm not that kind of petty woman!"
Uh...
What did I, Xiao Yun, do to deserve such generosity from every beautiful woman I encounter?
Throughout history, the most virtuous women have been no different!
Feeling touched, Xiao Yun rubbed her nose and awkwardly smiled, "I know Sister Qingxue cares for me the most and understands me best!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Xiao Yun regretted it and wished she could slap herself.
Understand what?
Understand her own fickleness?
Xiao Yun inwardly complained about his inability to speak.
"Hey, I didn't expect you to be so thick-skinned!" Unexpectedly, Duan Qingxue lightly poked his forehead with her jade-like finger, showing him little reproach.
Her expression, a mix of light anger and shyness, combined with the blush on her face, made her even more charming than flowers, exuding a unique grace.
Ancient people said that a beauty should have the appearance of a flower, the voice of a bird, the spirit of the moon, the bones of jade, the skin of ice and snow, the posture of autumn water, and the heart of poetry. In Xiao Yun's eyes, these words perfectly described Duan Qingxue.
Xiao Yun's heart fluttered as he leaned closer to her ear and said mysteriously, "Sister Qingxue, since we have some free time now, why don't we find a place to engage in some secretive activities under the flowers and moon?"
"Bah, you wish!" Duan Qingxue was flustered by him.
Just as Xiao Yun was about to tease Duan Qingxue again, his phone rang: "Master, you have a call..."
The caller was Luo Mingyue.
Upon answering, a soft voice came through: "Mr. Xiao, do you have time this afternoon?"
Sweat,
Luo Mingyue was indeed a bit impatient!
Xiao Yun didn't want to deliberately avoid Duan Qingxue regarding Luo Mingyue's call. He smiled mischievously and said into the phone, "Yes, beautiful. You seem eager to find me. Is there something you need?"
"Of course there is! You owe me money; you can't just ignore that!"
"Do I owe you a debt?"
"Yes, did you forget?"
Xiao Yun was a bit confused. "What do I owe you?"
"You owe me a kiss!" Luo Mingyue said.
Uh—do I owe her a kiss?
Three black lines appeared on Xiao Yun's forehead.
No way, when did I owe her a kiss?
Mud Horse, is it common for you to tease handsome guys like this?
Before he could respond, the other party said, "See you at noon, Full City Fragrance!" With that, Luo Mingyue hung up the phone.
Duan Qingxue, sitting nearby, smiled and asked, "Hehe, what's up, handsome? Which beauty is asking you out?"
Xiao Yun scratched his head and laughed. "It's Feng Wushuang's mom calling. This woman is really funny; she says I owe her a kiss!"
"Well then, you have to go give her that kiss at noon!"
"Are you jealous, Sister Qingxue?"
"Well, a little," Duan Qingxue giggled, "but I don't understand. Feng Wushuang's mother is over twenty years older than you, right? Would she like you too?"
Hearing her words, Xiao Yun reined in his smile and said, "To be honest, I find it strange as well. There must be something going on here!"
Xiao Yun was certainly not foolish. When he first met Luo Mingyue, he could tell from her Bone and Qi Mechanism that she was not the kind of casual woman. Even though Feng Yue told him that Luo Mingyue seemed to have feelings for him, there had to be a reason behind it.
He knew that Luo Mingyue's eagerness to see him was definitely related to his realization of her and Feng Yue's true identities; he also wanted to meet her to figure out the relationship between her and Feng Yue.
Recalling Ouyang Bing and Xiaomei, and connecting it to the sibling dynamic between Luo Mingyue and Feng Yue, he suddenly had a thought that perhaps there was some similar situation behind the scenes involving their families.
Duan Qingxue noticed Xiao Yun's serious expression and curiously asked, "Xiao Yun, what are you thinking about?"
"Oh, here's the thing..."
After Xiao Yun explained the situation regarding Feng Yue and Luo Mingyue as a fake couple to Duan Qingxue, her expression turned to one of immense surprise.
"Xiao Yun, are you serious?" Duan Qingxue asked.
Xiao Yun replied, "I am serious. When I went to the Feng Family to treat Feng Wushuang, I could tell from the bone structure and Qi Mechanism that Luo Mingyue and Feng Yue are siblings, while Feng Wushuang has no blood relation to either of them."
"Why is that?"
"That's exactly what I want to figure out."
"It seems you owe her a kiss now!" Duan Qingxue teased with a mischievous smile.
Her mischievous smile exuded a charming playfulness. A woman's charm can be incredibly powerful.
However, Duan Qingxue was different from other women. Nie Xiaoqian was gentle yet innocent, Ouyang Bing appeared domineering but carried a sense of loneliness, and Luo Mingyue seemed graceful but hid deep schemes... Yet Duan Qingxue was like a poem written on flower petals; no matter how you read her, it always resulted in two words: stunning!
Duan Qingxue's charm was equally breathtaking.
Little did Xiao Yun know that after hearing Duan Qingxue's words, he seriously said, "Sister Qingxue, to be honest, I might really need to kiss her to find out the reason."
Duan Qingxue nearly broke down.
Could he really be serious? Did kissing have such a function?
This guy was truly peculiar; painting bones could heal people, and kissing could...
"Don't you believe me?" Xiao Yun asked with a smile.
Duan Qingxue didn't directly answer him but replied with a smile, "It's getting late. Who knows, she might already be waiting for you to kiss her. You should hurry." There was clearly a hint of jealousy in her words.
"Sister Qingxue,"
Xiao Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you come with me?"
Duan Qingxue smiled slyly and said, "This is a very private matter. If I go, would she still dare to share her true feelings with you? Besides, with me as the third wheel there, you wouldn't be able to give her that kiss anyway! Forget it; I won't go."
Thinking about it, Xiao Yun had nothing more to say. As he was about to leave, he clenched his fist and smiled at Duan Qingxue, saying, "Sister Qingxue, see you the day after tomorrow!"
His intention was clear: he would definitely take her away at the banquet the day after tomorrow.
Duan Qingxue listened to his words, momentarily stunned, without responding. She silently saw him out of the flower shop.
Watching Xiao Yun's retreating figure, Duan Qingxue suddenly felt a pang in her heart.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Yun," she murmured to herself. "I wanted to tell you some heartfelt words today, but with Grandpa present, I really couldn't bring myself to say them. Perhaps in this lifetime, we are truly fated to be apart. I like you, I love you—but... do you know? I simply cannot be with you!"
Then she sighed again, "Actually, Xiao Yun, you still owe me a kiss..."
Since they met, he had never taken the initiative to kiss her even once.
Thinking of this, crystalline tears suddenly surged from her eyes.
Even if Grandpa hadn't come, there were many things buried deep in her heart that she might not have been able to express.
Duan Qingxue knew Xiao Yun's temperament; she feared that if she spoke those words, it might end up hurting him...
