Chapter 656: Chapter 3: Our Child Has Grown Up
Under the vibrant nightlife, in a high-end private club, a group of young people with extraordinary temperament gathered in a private room.
The atmosphere was a bit tense.
The dazzling Li Yun, holding a bottle of foreign wine, walked up to the nonchalant Hunter under everyone’s gaze and slammed the bottle down on the table in front of him.
"Hunter, I’ll ask you one last time: are you sure you have no feelings for me?"
Hunter’s expression didn’t change; he just glanced at Li Yun and then looked away.
Seeing that Hunter didn’t speak, Li Yun wasn’t in a hurry, just looked at him fixedly, as if determined to get an answer.
Chuanqi, who had always been protective of Li Yun, couldn’t sit still. She kicked towards Hunter but was deftly blocked by him.
Chuanqi glared at him, "What do you mean, give a straight answer, don’t waste people’s time."
Hunter sighed helplessly, "I’m your brother!" Li Yun is just a little girl, how could he be wasting her time? Li Yun is naïve, you’re my sister, why are you stirring things up!
Chuanqi insisted, "You be careful or I’ll tell Uncle Li and let him deal with you."
Hunter felt a headache, "I’m a young man in his prime, a promising youth, and now I’m being tied down, it’s just not right!"
"Pfft!" someone laughed, Chuanqi turned back and glared at Xiao Xiao Bai, who raised his hands in surrender, always having had a fear of his cousin Chuanqi since childhood.
"Sis, I didn’t mean to ruin your mood, it’s just that Brother here stole my lines." He pointed at Hunter, accusing with grievance.
Chuanqi didn’t even turn her head, "Huaili, throw him out for me."
Thus, Xiao Huaili, who was sitting behind her, stood up, ready to grab Xiao Xiao Bai without a word. Xiao Xiao Bai quickly ducked his head and dashed out, feeling embarrassed that Xiao Huaili was such a disgrace to their men, always obeying cousin Chuanqi. If Chuanqi said one, he would never think of two.
Chuanqi told him to throw him out, and he would indeed throw him out. To avoid embarrassment, it was better to slip out on his own.
As the door closed, Xiao Xiao Bai cheerfully reached out to pat Xiao Huaili’s shoulder but was avoided with disdain.
Clearly not even touching him, yet pretending to dust off his clothes.
Xiao Xiao Bai was very frustrated, muttering, "Little Li Zi, if you keep this up, I’ll complain to Aunt Chu, and make sure she doesn’t like you."
Xiao Huaili remained calm, glanced at him, and said indifferently, "Aunt Chu trusts me more, and Chuanqi’s feelings for me won’t be influenced by anyone."
Xiao Xiao Bai almost exploded in frustration. This guy is too narcissistic! Shameless, but everything he said was true, which was the most frustrating part for him.
In the private room, Li Yun stubbornly looked at Hunter.
Hunter, helpless, had to patiently say to the girl in front of him, "Xiao Yun, you’re only twenty-two, just graduated from college, your wonderful life is just beginning. You’ll meet more people in the future and realize the world is actually very big."
Alright, even if she sees more people, the most excellent and charming one is still him, Zhuo’er!
Beside him, the strong-willed Xiao Huaihua elegantly took a sip from her wine glass, secretly mocking: hitting on someone without wanting to take responsibility, huh! Arrogant man!
Li Yun looked carefully at Hunter, seeing no other change, suddenly picked up the bottle and downed it fiercely. Hunter was speechless and quickly signaled his twin tomboy sister.
Chuanqi mouthed a threat to him: You wait until Uncle Li comes to deal with you!
Li Yun, this little girl, had been cherished by everyone, never encountered any setbacks—this could be a small bump, let her drink a little to vent.
When a third of the bottle was gone, Chuanqi quickly snatched it away, wrapped her arm around the young girl, and walked out.
"Sis will take you somewhere else to have a good time, don’t waste time with these smelly men."
Once Chuanqi and Li Yun left the private room, Hunter pointed to himself and asked Xiao Huaihua, "Am I a smelly man?"
Xiao Huaihua gave him a faint look and said, "Here’s an exclamation mark for you!"
Hunter: "..." What kind of women are these! Since childhood, he grew up with these people, and none of them were normal.
Xiao Huaihua elegantly finished the remaining wine in the glass, patted her clothes, and stood up gracefully, walking out.
"Hey, where are you going?"
Xiao Huaihua didn’t turn back, raised her hand, and waved, "Going home."
Hunter thought for a moment, then stood up and followed, talking to himself, "It’s not safe for a woman to go home alone when drunk, I’ll take you home; otherwise, if something happens, your brother will trouble me."
Just at the door, he turned back, sharply glancing at Yan Jue and Chen Xiaojiao whispering in the corner, using a parental tone to reprimand:
"You two are still students, don’t keep running to these places of debauchery, seek pleasure, and you need to study hard and improve every day."
Chen Xiaojiao giggled, "Hunter, our studies are none of your concern, we’re graduating next year. If you don’t go now, Sister Hua might miss catching up with you."
Having teased Hunter, Chen Xiaojiao and Yan Jue burst into laughter.
Hunter felt even more of a headache; these girls were not ladylike at all. Chen Xiaojiao had a mother who was so carefree like Auntie Mai, but Yan Jue’s parents were one of the most desirable couples in Beijing, yet they couldn’t raise a lady.
Enough! Enough! Enough! He couldn’t manage these young girls, better to hurry and send the older girl Xiao Huaihua home.
Under a high-end single apartment building.
Xiao Huaihua looked at Hunter with a half-smile, "The night is still young, the excitement has just begun. I won’t disturb your nightlife, see you." She then turned to head inside, but Hunter grabbed her clothes.
"I brought you back, I’m thirsty, let me have a drink of water at your place."
Xiao Huaihua turned around, took out her phone, and dialed a number without a word.
Hunter quickly snatched her phone, saying, "Young lady, I’m just borrowing some water at your place, who are you calling at this late hour."
Xiao Huaihua stated calmly, "There’s no water for you at my place, I’ll ask Aunt Chu where you can find water to drink."
Hunter: "...Could we not use this move from the Gao family?"
"I’m used to it."
Hearing this, they stared at each other for a while, eyes locking fiercely.
Finally, Hunter sighed, "I concede." After speaking, he turned and left.
What exactly he conceded, he didn’t say, but Xiao Huaihua laughed as she watched him walk away, silently counting his steps.
One, two, three,...ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine, a hundred.
Just as she was about to speak, Hunter stopped in frustration, turned to her, and shouted, "You silly woman, weren’t you supposed to take the step after the ninety-ninth?!"
Xiao Huaihua laughed, shouting, "I enjoy watching you take all one hundred steps. I suddenly remembered there’re a few bottles of your favorite water at home, do you still want to come up?"
"...Nonsense, of course, I do!" Gritting his teeth, Hunter rushed over, attempting to hug Xiao Huaihua, but she deftly dodged.
Finally, in the elevator area, Hunter managed to tightly embrace Xiao Huaihua.
"There’s surveillance in the elevator, let go."
"No, it’s your punishment!"
