“A-are you worried about me?”

He specifically got someone else to drive because he was worried about her being tired… what was going on?

Claire didn’t understand.

Was Lin Xiao really interested in her?

She’s never been in a relationship and didn’t even have any self-awareness as a woman. Even if someone lecherously stares under her skirt, she would just be disgusted but not be aware of her own charms as a woman.

So was Lin Xiao worried about her because he likes her as a woman?

Claire suddenly remembered something she once heard when she recollected how Lin Xiao treated her.

When chasing after women with stronger personalities, some men would initially pretend to not care and even purposely insult them to attract their attention and leave a memorable impression and then attack them with gentle concern.

So was that Lin Xiao’s plan?

Claire shook her head with disdain.

There have been people who believed those kinds of stupid plans and purposely did that in front of her, but that didn’t work on her, she didn’t hesitate to take care of those bastards, and then that never happened anymore.

Unfortunately, Lin Xiao came to do it again…

“That’s right, he’s obviously worried about you, as a playboy scum that falls for every woman he sees, isn’t worrying about a beauty like you normal? …. Even though he doesn’t like flat chests, hmph.”

She didn’t even speak yet and Elena started to mock and ridicule. She held up her chest and stood behind Lin Xiao while complaining like she was blaming her that a mere flat chested tomboy would try to seduce her man.

Claire was even more sure after hearing that and her face blushed a bit, but she felt more of disgust and annoyance!

So Lin Xiao was interested in her!

On her side, she was already thinking about how to thoroughly crush his delusions. But before she could say anything, Lin Xiao’s words disappointed her and she was filled with humiliation.

“Cough, I indeed don’t like flat chests.” Lin Xiao awkwardly coughed as his gaze landed under her flat chest and near her short skirt and pale legs…

It had to be said, Claire’s handsome beauty was really unique. When Lin Xiao looked at her, it felt like one of his good friends was cross-dressing.

It was a mysterious feeling, they were both princesses, but when Lin Xiao first saw ShenDai Ying, he felt inferior, like a virgin meeting a goddess and he couldn’t even speak properly. But he felt none of that towards Claire, rather he felt a sense of intimacy.

Handsome, generous, straightforward, if he had to describe it… it would be like ‘brother, you gotta think of me when you turn into a girl’.

Claire was holding the reins with one hand and one of her legs was dangling over the side with the other crossed under her butt. She was a beauty but her posture was so crude, like a middle-aged man. All she was lacking was taking off her shoes, picking her feet, then yelling ‘ What the hell are you looking at?’

Although her feet would probably be beautiful…

Cough… Lin Xiao shook away his perverted delusions and focused on what was in front of him and almost got a nosebleed.

Since Claire was always unguarded and her posture was very crude, her opened legs completely revealed what was under her skirt.

“Sky blue is it, it’s pretty…”

He took a deep breath and slightly raised his head to avoid a nosebleed and revealing a grateful attitude.

“Pervert, don’t look!”

Elena viciously kicked him when she noticed him peeping, he could only smile and cover his mouth and whisper to her.

“Stop messing around… didn’t we agree earlier to take her with us for safety reasons?”

“But I didn’t tell you to stare at her underwear!”

“Uh… sorry, I guarantee you that I won’t look at other women’s panties, I’ll only look at yours! Okay?”

“Hmph, that’s more like it… wait, no! Lin Xiao, what the hell are you saying? Not mine either!”

“Hehe, whatever you like.”

“Pervert! Enough…”

Elena could never win when they argue, so she just lets him do as he likes. But getting back on topic, bringing Claire with them was something they discussed.

They were officially entering the plague zone and they were probably already caught in the sights of the enlightened and could be ambushed at any time. Lin Xiao’s team could protect themselves but if Claire and they followed too hard behind, Lin Xiao couldn’t protect them and it would be troublesome if they were to be caught!

Even though Elena may hate this little fangirl, it’s not like she wanted anything to happen to her, so she suggested bringing Claire along with them.

“Wait… for safety reasons? What are you talking about?” Claire felt something wrong when she hear their conversations.

“To prevent ambush from enemies.” Lin Xiao explained, “It’s too dangerous here, as long as you follow me, I can guarantee your absolute safety.”

“… Heh, I see.” Claire faintly scoffed.

“Hm, so let’s go together, don’t hang so far behind… did you think I didn’t notice?”

Lin Xiao thought she would agree so he prepared to go back to his carriage, but Claire unexpectedly clenched her teeth and glared at him like a leopard stalking its prey.

With Lin Xiao’s head, he couldn’t understand Claire’s resentment.

She had thought that Lin Xiao liked her and was ready to reject him, but it turned out she was just full of herself.

Lin Xiao didn’t like her, it was the opposite, he was completely looking down on her!

What does he mean? I’ll be ambushed if I’m far behind and I’ll be safe if I’m close by?

So in other words, I’m weak and you’re strong, so the weak me needs to rely on your protection???

Peh!

“Lin Xiao, I’m telling you, I don’t need your protection!”

“Uh… what are you getting so agitated for? You’re going to follow me anyways, so why don’t we just go together, it’s more convenient that way.” Lin Xiao scratched his head and tried making a friendly suggestion, but those words touched her fragile self-esteem.

“Hah? You bastard, who has to follow you!?”

When she thought about how she was discovered even though she was trying to keep a distance, she wanted to find a hole to hide in. Perhaps in his eyes, she was already a flat chested, annoying thirsty woman?

“Ah, just let me finish, Claire, this time’s enemy isn’t normal, they might be…”

Lin Xiao wanted to persuade her one last time, but she didn’t plan to give him the opportunity to,

“Hmph, just take care of yourself! I can deal with them no matter how strong they are!”

Claire said that and whipped the poor horse and shot out and almost collided with Lin Xiao that was standing on the side.

The carriage kicked up dust, Elena was fine since she noticed Claire’s minute movements and moved away beforehand, but it left Lin Xiao in a miserable state.

“Cough…”

Lin Xiao expressionlessly saw the tomboy off and was foolishly left standing there.

“Hehe, what, she doesn’t appreciate it?”

ShenDai Ying walked over and saw Lin Xiao’s appearance, she linked arms with Elena and pulled her back while smiling.

If it was normally, Elena would reject her intimacy, but this time… Elena smiled slightly and her mesmerizing smile stunned ShenDai Ying.

“He thinks he can always capture the hearts of young girls… alas, this is the outcome.” Elena muttered taking joy in his misfortune.

“Is that so? I don’t necessarily think so… she may look angry, but she may have already left a spot in her hear for him and all that’s remaining is the last attack.”

“I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

“Hehe, really?” ShenDai Ying hugged Elena’s arm while feeling up her bountiful chest and smiled, “Weren’t you conquered like that? Just like Claire now…”

“… What do you mean by that?” Elena’s slight smile stiffened and her gaze turned chilly.

“In order to conquer a strong woman, you have to ridicule her, diminish her, then find an opportunity to completely conquer her… Elena, even someone cold like you was conquered by Lin Xiao. Claire wouldn’t stand a chance, right?”

“Peh! W-who was conquered by him? Tsk, are you even sure that works? Were you also conquered by him like that?”

“Hm, but I wasn’t… but I once heard of a certain grand magician called half a crate of peaches, and that happened to her before! I’ve read her books, so that’s exactly right!”

“Hah? I don’t understand what nonsense you’re saying!”

“Hehe, don’t be so angry, Elena, your chest is so soft, let me feel some more!”

“Scram, don’t touch me you slut!”

“Hm? It feels nice… As expected! Lin Xiao was right, Elena, your voice is so pleasant that getting insulted by you is bliss!”

“Hah? W-why did you become so disgusting as well… ah! … Not there~ l-let go you bitch!”

Lin Xiao wasn’t able to enjoy the show behind him because he was still lost in thought.

He wasn’t really planning on conquering her or anything, but if this continued…

He began reflecting on his own problems, perhaps being too nice was also a problem, people would easily misunderstand.

He quickly found the problem.

Sigh, being a good person was really difficult.
