Intimate? I don't think so. There is only one reason for your dirty mind; you have a problem understanding others. It looks like that we are on different mental levels because I am far smarter than you."
Brian had been abroad, and hadn't been back in the country for long. So he didn't know the two aggressive women. But he would never miss the opportunity to speak up for Daisy without hesitation as long as someone, no matter who they were, talked badly of her. No matter how powerful their family might be, he would always be on Daisy's side. Daisy was the most important person in his mind.
"Hey boy! Is this the family education of Ouyang? Watch your manners. How can you be so rude talking with your elders?" Coco disliked Brian's easy smile. Also, she hated it when he made fun of her intelligence because she had done terrible in school. Else she wouldn't have decided to give up on university and be an actress. It was a sensitive topic for her.
"Colonel, Mr. Mu's calling." The moment Brian was about to move his lips and retort, Mark suddenly walked in and passed the phone to Daisy respectfully.
"Hello! This is Daisy." Daisy believed it was hard to tell whether someone in a manner matched their family education or not. Just examining the words would be not enough. Actions speak louder than words. So she just turned a deaf ear to them.
"Honey, are you busy at work?" Edward had been waiting for quite a long time, but he didn't see his little woman. So he got the phone from Luke and made the call. He didn't mean to nag her. He was just a little worried.
Oh, a little bit. But I'm already back in town. Are you feeling okay now?" Daisy frowned for an instant. She had wanted to go to the hospital as early as possible, but her original plan was disturbed by these shrews who asked for trouble. It was already so late now!
"I'm good. Take care and don't worry." Though he had round the clock care, he couldn't stop missing her all day. He didn't know if it was because he had been wounded or if he loved her that much. Maybe a lot of both. That's why he missed her so much.
Yes! I see. I'll get right back to your hospital suite as soon as I finish up. Don't worry about me." Daisy comforted Edward softly. Daisy's gentle voice seemed to be a flea in Jessica's ear. There seemed to be fire burning in her heart. She felt so heartbroken. Oh, Edward, what a proud man! When did he care about her like this? Even during the time when they were getting well along, he didn't make any phone calls to show he cared. But now he worried about and loved Daisy Ouyang so much. How could she not hate him?
"I'm not worried. I'm just missing you." Edward had already become an old hand at saying those sweet words. Unlike the former Edward, he didn't refrain from showing his love for Daisy at all. He was sure about one thing; all his love, gentleness and tenderness belonged to Daisy and he would never be stingy with them. He would take advantage of every opportunity to care for and love Daisy.
"I miss you too. Bye." Just then, both Daisy's ears and delicate face flushed all of a sudden. She looked so cute and gorgeous.
"Wow." Brain always showed his angry face to those women who made fun of Daisy. But now he whistled to encourage Daisy when he heard her express her love to Edward so boldly.
"Brian, I need to go now. Are you coming with?" Daisy passed the phone back to Mark. She felt a little shy about his whistling. But she had already get used to it because she could always hear such whistles in the military. So she didn't mind it at all.
"Of course I'll go with you. I'd have to be insane to hang out with these old hags. It's a waste of my time." Brain was never afraid of abusing and offending people when he was speaking. He was somewhat like Belinda in this respect. Both of them were very blunt and direct.
"Then let's go!" Daisy smiled. Of course it would be a waste of time staying with them. What's more, it was torture talking to women who thought too much of themselves.
"Daisy Ouyang, wait, what's wrong with Edward?" Jessica overheard Daisy mention something about a hospital, and she was worried. Edward didn't love her, but she still had feelings for him. So she became quite anxious, afraid something had happened to Edward. Seeing Daisy turn to leave, she reached out to grab her hand. But Mark stepped in her way.
Sorry, miss. Watch your manners, please. The Colonel doesn't like it when someone approaches her like that. Please keep your distance." Mark was quite familiar with Jessica Lin. He had stopped her from slapping Daisy in the face last time, he was supposed to do the same this time. He didn't know the history between Mr. Mu and her, but he would never allow her hurt his colonel.
You again! Are you a dog? Why are you always following her?" Jessica had only concentrated on the words 'Mr. Mu's calling' when Mark came in just now. She hadn't paid much attention to other things. But now seeing Mark standing in front of her, she recognized him as the guy who grabbed her hand when she was about to slap Daisy.
Sorry, no! I'm a dragon, not a dog. But how kind of you to ask about my birthday. Oh, what's more, I'm colonel's accompanying officer, namely her bodyguard. I'm in charge of her daily life and safety. So it's reasonable that I am always following her.
Mark explained in a serious manner. His words, together with his good natured expression were so funny. If they were not in the wrong place at the wrong time, Brian would burst into laughter at what he saw now. Mark look like a good natured man, but he actually insulted Jessica. What he said was damn ironic! He mocked her without a single dirty word.
