Deceive Me, Marry Me Chapter 16 Brother Xu Claimed He Preferred Girls Like Second Miss Sheng!

When two siblings went back, they didn't see Shen Jiuniang talking to Xu Baomo. Well, because he had already gone.

But Shen Jiuniang was still standing there, reluctantly seeing his back off.

Well, even a blind person could feel the sense of infatuation and intoxication through her eyes. Sheng Shuihe showed a faint smile when she looked at the expression of Sheng Weiqiao. First, she frowned, and then she pouted. When she realized that his eyes were on her, she glared at him angrily and shouted, "What?!"

"Big Weiqiao?" Sheng Shuihe hadn't answer yet, Shen Jiuniang was already shocked by the voice. She was fl.u.s.tered. She turned around, making her gourd-shaped earrings shook violently, and her red cheek became even redder as blood. "When, when did you guys come back?"

"Good to see you, Cousin Shen!" Sheng Weiqiao was going to say something, but Sheng Shuihe took the chance to speak first, and he smiled, "We were just playing around, you know. Just after sister blocked me and said it was YOU who want to see Brother Xu, so we definitely should come back to see if there we could help you, shouldn't we?"

What he said made Shen Jiuniang very embarra.s.sed. She actually did not want to use Sheng Weiqiao as a cover, but she had a hard time to find the trail of Xu Baomo. Besides, she had no reason to meet him alone, so she thought of her cousin. Now, Sheng Shuihe hit the nail on the head and indicated that he and his sister had been watching her in an obscure corner for a while. So now, feeling guilty and ashamed, she didn't even realize it when her fan fell on the gra.s.s. She just looked down and didn't know what to say.

Sheng Weiqiao felt something was wrong, and then stared at Sheng Shuihe again, and snorted, "Little Jiuniang, don't listen to him. He just couldn't stand my fist, so he ran back here. I just followed him back, that's all!"

Then she went up to Shen Jiuniang and grabbed her arm, "Let's go! There's no need to pay attention to him!"

The two cousins went back to Zhuying Mini Villa. Sheng Weiqiao told all the maids to leave the room and then pulled a long face, "Little Jiuniang, you've gone too far today! You could just tell me directly that you wanted to see Brother Xu. Do you think I won't help you? It's fine that you lied to me and used me as a cover today, but you let that son of a mistress realized what you did. Now, he's going to be the one to see our jokes!"

"I am sorry!" Shen Jiuniang had hoped maybe her innocent cousin would not know anything. Now, she realized that what she said back then was just trying to protect her dignity in front of Sheng Shuihe, and she felt very guilty. So, she mumbled, "I… I really didn't mean to hurt you, and I was just too embarra.s.sed to say!"

"Now that you've apologized. I forgive you!" Sheng said generously, "But next time, I won't let you use me like this again. We are not strangers. What's the point to play this kind of game?"

She saw Shen Jiuniang nodded her head, and then asked curiously, "What did you guys talk about? So, does that Brother Xu like you?"

"Don't even mention that!" Shen Jiuniang almost cried after she heard this. She twisted her handkerchief and said in injured tones, "You are the only one who doesn't mind after you knew my purpose. Not only that son of a mistress… not only that Cousin Sheng knew it, I guess that Young Lord also could feel it! After you guys left, he was going to leave as well after he knew who I am. I tried to talk to him brazenly, but he only smiled but never replied to me. At first, I thought that he probably wasn't really interested in the topic, but then I realized that he must had known what I was doing, and felt I was so flighty that he didn't even bother to talk to me!"

So, like what she said, it was totally like throwing the helve after the hatchet!

Not only did she annoy her cousin, but also left a wrong impression on Brother Xu. Well, if she had known that, she wouldn't have done it!

When Sheng Weiqiao saw the way that she looked at Xu Baomo, it was so affectionate that she thought two of them might not going to pledge to marry without parental consent, but at least they would have had a good chat.

She didn't expect the result could be like this. So, she was kind of confused, "Well, this is the first time you guys talk in private. Maybe you will get closer after a few conversations?"

"He doesn't even want to talk to me. If I do it again, it will only make him despise me more." Shen Jiuniang said dishearteningly, "The status of Shen Family is way too low compared to the status of Feudal Prince. He must have thought that I am a gold-digger who only likes his ident.i.ty and money."

"She doesn't care about my ident.i.ty." Inside the guest courtyard, Xu Baomo closed the folding fan, dabbing it upon his palm again and again. He was talking to his servant elatedly, "The thing she cares so much is obviously my pretty and handsome face as well as my casual and elegant bearing, okay?"

He sighed, "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. As the Young Lord, I have a good family and a beautiful face. I can shoot and read very well. Even the girls who read countless people in the brothel can't help but fall in love with me! I mean moreover a good girl like Miss Shen? Ha! You know, I didn't actually pay much attention to her, and she's probably still struggling with it, and afraid that she bored me. Or, she might be crying in bed right now!"

"Young Lord, just keep flaunting your romantic affairs in the past!" Xu Cong stood somewhere not far away with folded hands, saying with a lukewarm att.i.tude, "Don't forget why your grandfather kept asking you to follow Grandfather Sheng here. Also, here is not our home, so be careful because the wall has ears. Sheng Family would certainly help their own people. So, if they know why you are here. according to Grandfather Sheng's temper, he will definitely kick you out! When that day comes, I really don't know how you are going to explain that to your grandfather!"

Speaking of his grandfather, Xu Baoting, the smile on his face froze. He quickly replied scornfully, "Well, you could trust me for sure! I mean, seriously, Second Miss Sheng? I have so many pursuers, but I can keep my nose clean already. Isn't it just too easy for me to win her heart? However, because tomorrow is Grandfather Sheng's birthday, and the purpose of me coming here is also to offer the birthday congratulations, I'm going to cut her some slack at this point!"

"I think, Young Lord, you'd better be serious!" Xu Cong deadpanned, "Your grandfather always keeps his words. He said that if you couldn't marry that Second Miss Sheng, and then he would break your legs! Then, I have to order a pair of crutches for you, in case one day that Second Miss Sheng is not your wife! I mean, I am still young, I don't want people to talk about me serving a disabled master at such a young age…."

"Shut Up!" Xu Baomo's face became sullen. He tapped Xu Cong's forehead with a folding fan and snorted, "Ever since I was thirteen years old, I've been the only one who has let the girls down. When have I ever been rejected by a girl?! This mission is way too easy. What are you worried about?! If you curse me again, I'll break your legs first!"

Speaking of which, Grandfather Sheng often said his granddaughter was gentle, virtuous, considerate, intelligent, beautiful, respectful, sensible, and so on. So how could she chase Sheng Shuihe in public today? That's not ladylike!

Xu Baomo frowned, thinking about it, and soon understood, "It actually could prove that Grandfather Sheng did not lie! That Sheng Shuihe was the son of a mistress who just returned home. It is said that Uncle Sheng's Wife was so angry that she went back to her parents' home. However, this Second Miss Sheng was very concerned about her brother. When she learned that her brother had been injured and had not stayed at home to rest, she even didn't care about her image and forgot herself in public. It showed how gentle and kind she is!"

He liked such kind of girls!

In the future, even if he wanted to have more than eighteen beautiful concubines, this kind of princ.i.p.al wife not only would not be envious or play scheming but also would try to mediate disputes of his concubines in the backyard for him and raise his illegitimate kids!

Thinking of this, Xu Baomo opened the folding fan with a clatter and ordered, "Later, you go ask if there is anywhere romantic nearby. After Grandfather Sheng finis.h.i.+ng to celebrate his birthday, I will invite Second Miss Sheng to go on a tour!"
