Gain A Cute Wife By “Kidnap”

Chapter 58

C58 – Shang Xiaojie’s Counterattack

“Alright, my wife isn’t blushing. It’s just the scorching weather.” With a sudden move, he embraced Shang Xiaojie and helped him up, playfully patting his rear end with a smile.

Initially taken aback, Shang Xiaojie’s face then turned crimson due to Mu Sifa’s playful butt-patting, which resembled treating him like a child.

“Mu Sifa, you… you’re exasperating.” A mixture of annoyance and embarrassment overwhelmed him, leaving his thoughts in disarray. He couldn’t decide whether he should be angry or bashful.

“I’m irksome? How did I earn your ire? I didn’t coerce you into doing anything of that sort with me, nor did I sneakily kiss you?”

He maintained a constant smile, yet despite his claim of not having kissed her, Mu Sifa freely pressed his lips to Shang Xiaojie’s. It was a gentle touch, but it carried a mischievous undertone.

Shang Xiaojie felt too embarrassed to face anyone, especially with others present, yet Mu Sifa acted as if they were alone.

“I say!” “Must you be so affectionate every single time, you daft husband?”

Mu Xiaoxiao’s expression grew darker and darker. She found herself unable to come up with any retort.

Jia Tianxia wondered if he had hallucinated. He rubbed his eyes repeatedly, but the reality remained unchanged.

Oh my goodness! Is this truly my boss?

Elina’s irritation surged, causing her to hold the folder askew. Anger gripped her heart.

Wife? Mu Sifa’s wife? Was this some kind of joke? The position of Mu Family’s Third Young Madame should rightfully be mine. Why was this youngster snatching it away from me? A man? This is outright humiliation.

“No, I didn’t. It was your third brother who insisted,” Shang Xiaojie gently pushed Mu Sifa’s face aside, maintaining a blush on his own.

“What’s this? Wasn’t it you, Shang Xiaojie, who drew near first?”

It was he himself who prompted the approach and the search for him here.

Only then did Shang Xiaojie regain his senses. Unintentional as it may have been, he was indeed the one following Mu Xiaoxiao here.

Admitting his mistake and having no words to counter Mu Sifa’s words, he could only puff up his cheeks and sulk.

“He’s even pouting now!” Mu Sifa playfully teased.

“Ignore me!” He turned his face away, ignoring Mu Sifa. Despite his irritation, he remained as adorable as ever.

As he turned his gaze aside, he unexpectedly came face to face with Elina’s fierce expression, startling him.

Elina was also taken aback by Shang Xiaojie’s sudden gaze. Swiftly adjusting her expression, she replaced it with a sweet and affectionate smile.

Taking the initiative, she greeted him, “Hello.”

“Oh! Hello, hello.”

Shang Xiaojie was left in a state of shock. He couldn’t help but question if what he was seeing was merely a trick of his eyes.

“Sifa, why didn’t you introduce us?”

Elina’s demeanor had reverted to the same polite smile, erasing all signs of the jealous woman from earlier.

When Elina addressed Mu Sifa so familiarly, Shang Xiaojie was taken aback, and a twinge of discomfort pricked at his heart.

I despise it, I truly despise it when she refers to me as Mu Sifa.

This was the first time such thoughts had surfaced in Shang Xiaojie’s mind, and his brows furrowed.

“My wife, he’s still young. Please pardon his behavior in the future.” Shang Xiaojie wasn’t fond of Elina addressing him by his name out of politeness either. Yet, Elina possessed considerable competence and served as a valuable assistant. Thus, he had no choice but to let it slide.

“So, you’re Sifa’s wife! Pleasure to meet you.” With a warm smile, he extended his hand to shake hands with Shang Xiaojie.

Shang Xiaojie gazed at him for a moment and, rather than taking the handbag, turned directly to Mu Sifa and inquired, “Are you ready? When are you coming back?”

He completely disregarded Elina, infuriating her to the point that her expression grew even more ferocious.

Could this reckless kid actually be daring to humiliate me? Is he seeking a death wish?
