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.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

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 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.
