Gain A Cute Wife By “Kidnap”

Chapter 63

C63 – Elina Was Angry

Aiyo! His expression doesn’t look too pleasant! Seems like I hit the nail on the head.

Hmph! I don’t have to overthink handling a little kid like you. It won’t be long before you voluntarily make your exit from Sifa’s side!

“Is everything alright, Madam? You don’t seem well! Is he sick?” Ye Zichen gazed at Shang Xiaojie with genuine concern and reached out his hand toward Shang Xiaojie’s forehead, as if in earnest.

“No, everything’s fine.” Shang Xiaojie smiled and readily patted Elina’s hand.

Even though Shang Xiaojie was unsure about Elina’s intentions or what game she was playing, his instincts signaled that Elina wasn’t trustworthy, so he remained cautious.

Darn kid, you dare to slap my hand away? Have no sense, do you?

Whatever was going on in her mind, she sustained her customary smile.

She apologized, “I apologize for touching you without your consent. However, as a doctor, I’m accustomed to examining patients, so this sort of occupational habit comes naturally. Madam, please accept my apologies.”

It seemed as if Shang Xiaojie was asserting dominance.

Shang Xiaojie was quite displeased about this! Was that even an apology? Why the arrogance?

“It’s okay, I’ll consider it as if I got bitten by a dog. No hard feelings.” Shang Xiaojie shot her a sidelong glance, his evident distaste for Elina’s presence radiating in his aura.

Adolescents, after all, were prone to defiance and wouldn’t simply accept a slight. Just by seeing her bullying someone on her own, she was essentially inviting trouble, similar to the situation with Elina.

A dog? This little brat dares to call me a dog? Does he want to be obliterated?

Frustration billowed within her, her hair almost standing on end in her rage.

Unexpectedly, Shang Xiaojie quipped, “I understand that Mu Sifa is exceptional and has many admirers. But you’re all outsiders, aren’t you? You can’t truly measure up to me, can you?”

It sounded like both a warning and an assessment directed at Elina. Nevertheless, he ended with an endearing smile, his dimples already on display.

It would be surprising if Elina wasn’t fuming mad, but she couldn’t reveal her temper to this extent.

No, Elina. You must bear with it. There are others present. Don’t expose your true nature for this kid. Consider it letting him off for now, and next time, make sure to make it doubly difficult for him. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

“Are you alright? You don’t look too good! Should I call someone to check on you?”

Shang Xiaojie gazed at Elina with an innocent and tender expression, an air of softness enveloping him.

Elina’s mouth twitched at the boy’s words. What did he mean? Did he want to take back what he’d just said?

Yet, after observing Shang Xiaojie for a while, she noticed his innocent expression persisted. It seemed he wasn’t plotting anything.

Blast it! It was infuriating to possess a face that attracted men.

“I’m good! I just feel like the air is all hazy and repugnant.” Ye Zichen grinned mischievously at Shang Xiaojie, as if hinting that the repugnant smell was coming from him.

Upon hearing that, Shang Xiaojie adorably sniffed around and retorted, “Is it the smell coming from you? Your cologne is way too overpowering; it’s gross.”

“What the fuck… Did you just call me smelly?”

The act of robbing the chicken only heightened Elina’s agitation; veins stood out on her forehead, her face twitching. “Who do you think stinks like a kid? This is a limited-edition fragrance. Even if you have money, you can’t buy it.” Her temper had finally burst.

Shang Xiaojie was taken aback, then he turned to the side with a triumphant look and shot back, “Haven’t you bought it already!? A limited edition one at that? I wouldn’t even want it if you gave it to me for free.” His attempt at asserting his pride came across quite childlike.

If she had the chance, Elina might have slapped him ages ago! Her popping veins were evidence of how close she was to losing her temper.
