Chapter 93: Leng Xiao – If I Care About You Again, I'll Be a Dog!
> "Hmph, if you dare to show up in front of me right now, this witch will give you a punch! I'll let you know that your sister Xiaoxiao is not someone to be messed with!"
> "Stinky Lin Ze, bad Lin Ze!"
The more Leng Xiao thought about it, the angrier she became.
Bang!
She slammed her hands hard on the table and stood up.
> "Hmph!"
Leng Xiao snorted coldly and said angrily:
> "If this witch cares about you again, I'll be a dog!"
But just as she said those words—
The door suddenly opened.
The person who entered was none other than Lin Ze, returning alone.
As soon as Lin Ze opened the door, he heard the sound of the table slam... and her angry declaration.
> "Sister Xiaoxiao, who made you so mad?"
Lin Ze was a little surprised. This was the first time he had ever seen Leng Xiao so furious.
The moment Leng Xiao saw Lin Ze, her eyes widened in shock.
The resentment she had tried to bottle up—just like the door that had been flung open—came bursting out the moment she heard his voice.
She instinctively wanted to call out to him, but when she remembered Lin Ze's relationship with Yue Ye, she bit her lip hard to stop herself from saying something impulsive.
> Hmph, go back to your Yue'er. Why are you coming to me, you big liar! I don't want you to accompany me!
> If I care about you again, I'll really be a dog!
Leng Xiao suddenly turned her head away, determined not to look at Lin Ze.
> But... what if it was just a misunderstanding?
> After all, Sister Yue's situation...
> Maybe I should give him a chance...
> But they kissed! How can that be fake?!
> And it looked way too natural—it definitely wasn't their first time!
Just as Leng Xiao struggled with the storm in her heart, Lin Ze—seeing her sulking and silent—subconsciously walked over and gently patted her shoulder.
But this light touch shattered the last bit of restraint holding her back.
The floodgates of grievance opened.
With a choked voice, Leng Xiao looked at him:
> "Why didn't you tell me about you and Sister Yue..."
Lin Ze was about to explain, but paused when he saw her red, tear-filled eyes. It was obvious she had been crying before he arrived.
> "Sister Xiaoxiao, what's wrong...?"
Seeing her tears and the grief in her expression made Lin Ze's heart ache.
He gently cupped her cheek, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with his thumb.
But that tender gesture only made things worse.
The moment Lin Ze touched her, Leng Xiao's fragile emotions completely collapsed.
Tears flowed again.
> "Don't touch me, you big liar!"
> "How am I worse than Sister Yue?"
> "Even if you choose her, you shouldn't have hidden it from me..."
> "Big liar! I'm never playing with you again, and I'll never like you again!"
> "Get out..."
Lin Ze felt miserable seeing her cry like this.
> "Sister Xiaoxiao, will you please let me explain?"
> "Not unless you kiss me first..."
> "Will you stop crying if I do?"
> "That depends on my mood..."
Before she could finish her words, she felt something soft press against her lips—
Lin Ze had kissed her.
Her lips, already wet with tears, carried a distinct bitterness.
Lin Ze had once read that tears from extreme sorrow were bitter. He hadn't believed it—until now.
His heart tightened with guilt. The once lively, energetic Leng Xiao was now breaking down because of him.
He slowly pulled back and asked softly:
> "Sister Xiaoxiao, do you feel a little better now?"
Leng Xiao sat there in a daze. She didn't expect him to actually kiss her.
But...
It felt good.
Soft. Warm.
She nodded slightly, then said:
> "Unless you kiss me again. Just like you kissed Sister Yue..."
Hearing that, Lin Ze didn't hesitate. He leaned in again, this time parting her lips gently, absorbing her desire energy—an aura of deep sorrow.
It was extremely bitter...
Yet Lin Ze didn't mind it at all.
Maybe it was because it came from Leng Xiao.
Though bitter, it felt strangely sweet.
Lin Ze didn't quite understand his feelings for her. Yue Ye gave him the feeling of a gentle older sister. Cai'er felt like a soulmate—an emotional bond that healed his wounds.
But Leng Xiao...
She made him feel free. Like he could just be himself, with no burdens.
Although it was her first time kissing, Leng Xiao quickly adapted—driven by the love buried deep in her heart.
In fact, she became a little aggressive—like she didn't want to let him go.
She only let go reluctantly when she was too out of breath to continue.
But after just two breaths—
She threw herself into Lin Ze's arms and kissed him again...
---
Half an hour later.
Leng Xiao finally let go of Lin Ze, her eyes filled with satisfaction.
At the same time, Lin Ze had also regained his physical strength, much of which he had lost in his earlier fight with A Bao. The "sorrow desire" he absorbed from Leng Xiao's deep emotional state replenished his energy.
Still, Lin Ze felt guilty.
That the ever-quirky and cheerful Leng Xiao had produced such a sorrowful aura because of him made his chest feel tight.
After her sorrow energy was drawn out, Leng Xiao's emotions finally calmed. She slowly pulled away from him.
Thinking back on what had just happened, she began to feel a little more clear-headed.
She realized... she had probably done something wrong to Yue Ye.
But at that moment, she hadn't been able to control herself.
The thought that Lin Ze didn't belong to her—had crushed her.
She gently wiped her still-wet lips, rubbed the tears from her eyes, and asked softly:
> "Shouldn't you be with Sister Yue right now? Why'd you come to me?"
Lin Ze was relieved to hear her voice return to normal.
> "Sister Yue went back to the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce. I didn't see you in the audience, so I figured you came back on your own."
Leng Xiao pouted slightly.
> "So... when did you and Sister Yue start?"
> "Sister Xiaoxiao, you've misunderstood." Lin Ze smiled wryly.
> "Huh?" Leng Xiao looked up, eyes wide.
> "Didn't you agree to be her fiancé?"
> "Well, technically, yes. I am her fiancé—but only because we had to act the part in front of His Majesty. It was just an emergency. We were pretending."
