The couple grilling the meat was whispering to each other.
Fang Shanshan asked, “What’s the deal with those two?”
Chi Yuanfeng replied, “He likes her but she doesn’t know it, I think.”
Fang Shanshan cried out, “That’s so romantic!”
Chi Yuanfeng said, “Is that the only thing you know in this world…”
Fang Shanshan replied, “I also know you like me! Teehee!”
Chi Yuanfeng didn’t know what to say…
“Speak!” An Xiaxia waved the fork, putting on the most ferocious look she could think of.
To Kang Jian, that was as good as an empty threat, but it still gave him a bitter taste in his mouth.
“It’s really nothing…”
“I’m really going to hit you!” An Xiaxia took a step forward, but she tripped on a chair and fell to the ground with a thump.
And she fell face down…
Seeing her scramble to her feet covered in dust, Kang Jian pursed his lips. “Why bother? You can’t possibly win.”
“Says who?!” An Xiaxia waved her fist and gave Kang Jian a punch.
She drew back her hand without a word.
His muscles were so hard… she might as well have hit a rock.
Aah! It hurt!
“Fine! Don’t tell me!” She pouted.
Kang Jian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
The barbecue was delicious, but An Xiaxia was in no mood to savor it. She took a few bites before going back to staring at Kang Jian.
Unable to ignore her gaze, Kang Jian could only excuse himself. “Miss, I’ll leave you in peace if there are no further instructions.”
A cunning look flickered in Fang Shanshan’s eyes. “I’m assigning a new task to you!”
“?”
“Protect Xiaxia! Her safety is your priority! And you’ll do as she bids!” Fang Shanshan grinned mischievously. Kang Jian said in resignation, “Miss, I…”
“Do I need to remind you that you’re a hired gun of Imminent Night now? You can’t say no to my orders!”
An Xiaxia grinned at Fang Shanshan. “Thanks!”
“My pleasure~ So, ask whatever you want~”
An Xiaxia beckoned Kang Jian over with a finger. “Come here.”
Kang Jian walked over to her side reluctantly. “I’m really fine.”
“Take your pants off!” An Xiaxia ordered.
Chi Yuanfeng spat out the water in his mouth and shouted, “Xiaxia, you can’t do that! Brother is still waiting for you back at home!”
“… What on earth are you talking about?” An Xiaxia was speechless.
“Take them off! Now!” Fang Shanshan was always the first to stir up trouble and she shouted louder than anyone else.
Kang Jian’s tanned face reddened. An Xiaxia patted the table and said, “If you don’t take them off now, I’ll do it myself!”
At those words, Kang Jian’s face turned even redder.
However, it would be so inappropriate to take off his trousers out in public.
He knew what An Xiaxia was getting at, so he rolled up one of his trouser legs and said sincerely, “Look, it’s really not a big deal.”
An Xiaxia let out a sigh of relief. Good, his leg was still intact. For a moment back there, she had expected to see a prosthetic…
But that leg had crisscrossed scars all over it.
He must have gone through a lot all these years.
“I didn’t get treated in time the last time I got injured and this limp is a leftover from that.” Not wanting to make An Xiaxia worry, Kang Jian tried to make his tone as casual as possible.
Once that was cleared, Kang Jian felt like a great burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He then remembered that she had knocked into a table when she had fallen down just then.
He asked the servant to bring some ointment, then pulled An Xiaxia to his side and applied it for her.
Just then, An Xiaxia’s phone rang and she picked up happily. “Sheng Yize~”
“Yes.” Sheng Yize couldn’t help but smile a little at her voice. However, her whine then came from the other end. “Hey, be gentle. That hurts!”
Sheng Yize’s face darkened right away.
