Xia Yuxun looked at Ou Mingxuan, who had suddenly fallen silent, with trepidation, wondering if he was going to come up with some cruel scheme to torment her again.
"Yuxun, find some time to take me to see your father, let's just say it's to make amends!"
"Wh... What? Meet my dad?" Xia Yuxun almost shrieked out loud.
They clearly hadn't done anything, so why meet the parents? Why, oh why?
If her dad found out, wouldn't he break her legs!
And what about Sichen? Wouldn't that make their relationship even less possible?
"Senior, spare me! I'll never dare to do it again!" Xia Yuxun wailed with tears streaming down.
It's better to beg for forgiveness from her senior now than from her dad later.
"Where did your mind go!" Ou Mingxuan chuckled before becoming serious, "I just want to learn some martial arts from your father."
"Huh?" Xia Yuxun was suddenly startled, "What made you suddenly want to learn that? Aren't you too busy traveling and enjoying scenic places?"
"Who said I travel all around just for leisure? Couldn't it be for work?" Ou Mingxuan twitched his mouth corner.
After graduation, he had just taken over the family company, had so much work that he was almost burnt out, and she thought he was just roaming for fun!
"How could that be..." Xia Yuxun muttered weakly.
She had no idea about Ou Mingxuan's family background, only knew that his geographical location on QQ changed daily like a little motor.
For her to imagine a non-mainstream, decadently romantic Ou Mingxuan, who normally didn't take things seriously, busy working in a bright and clean office was harder than imagining herself in a ladylike dress.
If you said he was a vagabond artist touring the world by selling his art, she might more readily believe it...
If Ou Mingxuan knew what she was thinking, he would definitely be outraged enough to cough up blood.
Seeing Ou Mingxuan's displeased expression, Xia Yuxun hurriedly changed the subject, "My dad doesn't just accept anyone as a disciple!"
After finishing her scrutinizing look up and down at him, she realized... actually, he was quite fit.
Ou Mingxuan laughed, "I know, you've told me. Now one must pass three trials and defeat six generals to be apprenticed at Jingwu Hall."
Xia Yuxun beamed proudly, "Of course! My dad is currently at odds with Juying Taekwondo Pavilion and is planning to gather some talented disciples. But geniuses like me, rare in a hundred years in martial arts, are not easy to find."
"I've never seen a girl proud of being able to fight!" Ou Mingxuan watched her with a headache.
Xia Yuxun looked at Ou Mingxuan with disdain, "You men won't understand, you all like those gentle, virtuous women who cling to their men like birds. How shallow!"
Ou Mingxuan stroked his chin, "Well... not necessarily..."
"Huh? What did you just say?"
"Nothing! Will you help me with the introduction or not?"
"Helped, helped! So, when are you planning to go?"
"This Friday, I'll pick you up from your office after you finish work,"\ Ou Mingxuan said.
"Okay then!" Xia Yuxun ruffled her messy hair, and while doing so suddenly felt something was off.
A few seconds later, she excitedly grabbed Ou Mingxuan's collar, "Senior, what day of the week is it today? What time is it now?"
Ou Mingxuan said gloomily, "No need to ask, you're already late."
Xia Yuxun screamed, then rushed into the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face, as fast as lightning.
Two minutes later, she burst out, "Senior, where are my clothes?"
Ou Mingxuan sat leisurely on the sofa, letting her tug his collar as he spoke unhurriedly, "Are you planning to wear last night's pile of red fabric?"
Xia Yuxun rolled her eyes, "I'm doomed..."
Thinking of Leng Sichen's sharp, cold, disapproving, impatient, and complex little expressions, Xia Yuxun wished she could shrink back into her mother's womb.
Xia Yuxun feared nothing under the heavens but one look from Leng Sichen was enough to make her tremble all over.
Alas, when it comes to love, what can it be? Just one being overpowering another...
