Chapter 23 - Act Like Nothing Had Happened

While Xia Jiannan tried his hardest to suppress his inner beast, the gossip-lover Xia Jinhu hoped otherwise.

That's why, when his older brother stopped advancing, Xia Jinhu could not help but be disappointed.

This was supposed to be the first time that he'll be able to see his big bro in action... Why did they stop?!

'Continue! Continue!'

As he was lamenting over this lost of opportunity, Xia Jinhu felt something vibrating in his pocket. Then...

"So baby let's just turn down the lights

And close the door

Ooh I love that dress

But you won't need it anymore"

Xia Jinhu's back instantly stiffened. His whole body felt as though a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over him.

'Sh*t! Where is it?!'

Xia Jinhu started to break out in a cold sweat as he frantically search for his phone.

"No you won't need it no more

Let's just kiss 'til we're naked, baby

Versace on th–"

Finally, he was able to cut off the phone call!

But before he could let out a sigh of relief, Xia Jinhu felt a chill ran up his spine. He slowly glanced up and met a pair of cold and piercing black eyes...

'Uh oh..'

Sitting on the passenger's seat of Wang Rouxi's car, Xia Jiannan's expression was extremely cold. His gaze was sharp and icy as he looked at his youthful younger brother who was standing outside the car.

"Ah... bro... Brother, you're back!" Xia Jinhu's back was drenched with sweat.

Being leveled with that cold gaze, no one would have the courage to even speak a single word in front of Xia Jiannan!

But Xia Jinhu had to act nonchalantly like he was not peeping at them just a while ago.

He racked his brain trying to find an acceptable alibi...

"Bro, you're finally here! I'm really worried sick about you!" In the end, the busybody tried the hysterical route.

Putting his phone back in the pocket of his pants, Xia Jinhu wailed as he moved closer to the car window.

The high-resolution camera from earlier was nowhere to be seen! It was as if it never existed in the first place!

With his hand slightly quivering, Xia Jinhu reached for the car door's handle and opened it like a porter in a hotel.

"Hn," came Xia Jiannan's monosyllabic response.

Xia Jinhu knew his brother all too well. He was the kind of person who does not want others meddling in his personal matters...

And now, he overdid it!

He was sure that he was dead this time! His Big Bro would not let this pass...

Xia Jiannan's whole body was emitting a cold and frightening air, scaring the hell out of Xia Jinhu so much that he almost pissed his pants.

Looking at his younger brother, Xia Jiannan was thinking of what he'll do to him. But something was more important than that at the time being.

Xia Jiannan then turned to Wang Rouxi who had already fixed the car seat back to its original position.

She was looking at him indifferently, seemingly unaffected by what had happened earlier.

Seeing this, Xia Jiannan surmised that it was best not to mention the matter any longer.

At that thought, he pulled out a customized black and silver calling card from his coat.

If others would see this black and silver calling card, they would instantly recognize it as Xia Jiannan's.

Only a handful of people had this in their possession, and those who did would not let other people see it.

It was the personal contact number of Xia Jiannan!

This was like an ultimate pass that could be used in many different situations.

Looking directly at Wang Rouxi's clear eyes, Xia Jiannan handed the card over to her and said sincerely, "Thank you for all the things you've done for me, Ms. Rouxi. You can give me a call any time."

Wang Rouxi did not think too much about it as she accepted the card. She nodded her head to signify that it was all good.

"It was a pleasure serving you, Mr. Xia."

Seeing the two of them act like nothing had happened, the busybody Xia Jinhu was speechless.

He did not really know what to say!

After all that hot and steamy kissing just a while ago, they could still act like nothing had happened!?
