Chapter 1655 - Bai Xiao (9)
“You...” Lotus reflexively jerked backwards to avoid the guy who made the abrupt move, “you won’t get any sympathy from me even if you do this. I won’t accept you so you can forget it.”
I would rather give the Snow Clan to Big Cousin than to give it to him. No outsider will take my family’s wealth and power away by using underhanded means. Only Big Cousin can bring glory to the family, I don’t get what Father sees in this guy....
Due to the noise from the inside, one of the maids standing watch outside immediately came running in to help. However, Bai Xiao has never been accustom to having strangers touch him, that’s why he swiped the helping hand away without forethought.
This wouldn’t be anything special aside from being a bit rude, but in Lotus’s view, this behavior only appeared even more disgusting like he’s trying to get her to personally help.
“Don’t think I can’t tell, you not letting the maid help you is to have me do it. I’m stating this now, I won’t touch you, not even a pinky! If I must help anyone, it will only be my cousin who gets it. You’re such a delusional fool, don’t think everyone can be so easily deceived by your act.”
Caring even less at the rant coming his way, Bai Xiao pulls himself back up using the bed corner. Sweating in the forehead as he spoke: “Scram!”
Stumbling backwards due to the outburst coming at herself, “Are you putting up a act again?”
It must be because I saw through his plan of acting hard to get, that’s why he scolded me so that I would be more interested. Humph, I’ve seen too many people like that, always acting so cool and tempered before me. They’re all the same, conniving after my family’s wealth and influence. Only Big Cousin is different, only he would use his own abilities to achieve great things.
BaI Xiao could tell his words would never get through this strange girl and decides to not even give it a effort. It’s not like he needs to anyways. If he could move then he could leave, by then he would never need to speak to this unreasonable person. The only issue was would they let him leave, that’s the main problem.....
“I’m warning you again, I will never marry you so you better lose that idea. Your dream will never come true!” With a glare as her final act, Lotus quickly turns for the door and ran outside.
Once she was alone again, the young miss of this household immediately scans the surrounding for signs of others. Upon certain there’s no one around, she promptly tosses the dagger hiding under her sleeve away. Only then did she head towards the guest room where her supposed lover resides.
Wen Yi has been standing at the entranceway during this period. He’s also part of the plot to kill Bai Xiao so of course he would be wary. “Lotus, how did it go?”
Making a aggrieved face as she walked over after hearing that, “I failed, that asshole woke up before I could move. I got scared since the commotion would alert my father....”
Without surprise, the gentle light in the man’s eyes quickly shifted to that of disappointment, but he’s not one to give up so easily. Pressing down his internal emotion, the guy pulls out his almost cooing voice, “It doesn’t matter, a failure is a failure. Since he’s awaken now, we only need to threaten him a bit to give up the initiative.”
“You don’t know Big Cousin, he’s trying to play hard to get with me. There’s no way he would let go so easily.” Stomping her feet in frustration, Snow Lotus acts like she’s been sexually harassed by the mere idea.
