After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 920: "You pretty boy, stop embarrassing yourself here
CHAPTER 920: CHAPTER 920: "YOU PRETTY BOY, STOP EMBARRASSING YOURSELF HERE
"I’m here to see my future wife!"
The gatekeeper was visibly surprised to hear this.
He didn’t expect that his late-night visit was for such an unorthodox reason.
"Young Master Xiao, isn’t this a bit inappropriate?"
The gatekeeper probed cautiously.
Even though Zhen Yunjin usually had a mischievous temperament.
But this late-night visit, if it got out, would not sound good at all.
Xiao Shanghe didn’t mind, "We’re going to get married anyway, what’s inappropriate about it?"
"Well..." The gatekeeper thought about it and felt he had a point, so he went to report.
"Young Master Xiao is here to visit."
The gatekeeper first informed the servant attending to Mei Yueyan and then also reported to the servant guarding Zhen Yunjin’s door.
Zhen Yunjin had said not to disturb him unless necessary.
But it didn’t matter.
It’s modern times now.
Can’t disturb, but can’t I send a text message?
Fortunately, Zhen Yunjin’s phone was right on the table.
Once the text message lights up, he can see the content clearly.
Seeing the message that Xiao Shanghe came looking for him, Zhen Yunjin raised an eyebrow, very curious.
"What’s he here for?"
After replying to the message, the servant quickly forwarded what the gatekeeper had said word-for-word.
After reading it, Zhen Yunjin simply let the gatekeeper allow the person in.
At the same time, he joked with Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei, "Just in time, Xiao Shanghe is here, we can form a mahjong game, how about it, play a few rounds?"
Although it was in a questioning tone, he showed no intention of waiting for a response.
After asking, he magically pressed a button, and a mahjong table rose from the ground.
When Xiao Shanghe arrived, he saw three people sitting around a mahjong table, with one spot empty, waiting for him.
Suddenly, he doubted whether his decision was correct.
Why did he feel like his brain had been kicked by a donkey?
Suppressing the absurd feeling in his head, he walked step by step toward the table.
As he walked, he observed the decor of the room.
The more he looked, the less he felt this was a girl’s room.
He finally couldn’t help but look at the other person besides Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei.
As he... Xiao Shanghe was about to vividly describe the famous Zhen young lady’s appearance, his gaze was drawn to the obvious Adam’s apple on her neck.
Although, girls do have Adam’s apples.
But...
The prominence of a girl’s Adam’s apple and a man’s...
There’s still a big difference.
Xiao Shanghe didn’t think he would confuse a man with a woman.
But he quickly pushed down the bad feeling in his heart.
And warned himself silently.
What’s there to be nervous about?
Nothing to panic about?
So what if there’s a man here?
Maybe he’s one of Zhen Yunjin’s close confidants?
After all, Zhen Yunjin’s reputation outside had been bad for a long time already.
Seeing her close companion in her house wasn’t surprising at all.
Xiao Shanghe suppressed the feeling of a green hat on his head and sat down heavily at the table.
Zhen Yunjin raised an eyebrow and asked, "Want to play a round?"
Xiao Shanghe looked at him viciously, "Let’s go!"
Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei usually don’t play mahjong, Shi Yaoguang already knew how, and Quan Jinbei, being a smart person, once he understood the principles, knew how to play without any problem.
Some people rely on luck to play mahjong.
But this thing called luck, you can’t predict or see it.
Others, once they understand the pattern, use algorithms to win.
This way, unless you’re extremely unlucky, you won’t lose terribly.
Xiao Shanghe considered himself a smart person.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have relied on his wits to get by in front of Shi Yaoguang.
But he didn’t expect, this mahjong game completely crushed his intelligence.
He was naive.
He was too naive.
He always thought he was smart enough, but now he realized he was overthinking it.
His intelligence was just petty cleverness.
True intelligence...
Haha, it’s definitely not like him.
Xiao Shanghe sighed quietly in his heart, blaming it all on bad luck.
"This round doesn’t count, my luck is bad!"
Zhen Yunjin seemed unexpectedly surprised that Xiao Shanghe would openly cheat, puzzled for a moment, "What did you say?"
Xiao Shanghe looked smug, "I said, this round doesn’t count, let’s start over!"
Zhen Yunjin: "..."
So he didn’t mishear.
This guy can really be so shameless.
Xiao Shanghe pouted, looking at him disdainfully, "Now you know how awesome I am, right?"
Zhen Yunjin: "????"
Xiao Shanghe, "In the host’s territory, it’s not your place to act out as an outsider."
Zhen Yunjin: "????"
If he remembered correctly.
This is the Zhen family.
And he, Zhen Yunjin, is the host.
While Zhen Yunjin was questioning his life, he heard Xiao Shanghe speak again, "It’s important for people to know their place, you’d better understand your own identity."
Zhen Yunjin felt a bit speechless.
He pondered for a moment, then asked, "What is my identity?"
Xiao Shanghe pouted, "Oh, you’re so shameless! Just a kept man, I’m the male host here, I won’t bother you for strutting around in my place, and you’re questioning me about it?"
"Do you have any scruples?"
Zhen Yunjin looked at him with an expression suggesting he was looking at an idiot, "Young Master Xiao, did water get in your brain? Do you need me to drain it for you?"
Xiao Shanghe glared, "What are you talking about? Is sarcasm so great?"
Zhen Yunjin: "I wasn’t being sarcastic."
He defended himself very seriously, "I was merely stating the facts."
Xiao Shanghe snorted, "Oh please! If you could recognize reality, not be so shameless, I might even regard you highly!"
Zhen Yunjin: "So what standard are you using?"
At the same time, he silently mocked in his heart, Xiao Shanghe is such a freeloader, how can he say this so self-righteously?
Is this the art of shamelessness?
So sophisticated.
While Zhen Yunjin was lost in thought, Xiao Shanghe looked towards Shi Yaoguang, "Miss Shi! You’re on my side, right?"
Shi Yaoguang nodded.
Compared to Zhen Yunjin, she was more familiar with Xiao Shanghe, so she could barely be considered on his side.
Xiao Shanghe raised his chin proudly and looked at Zhen Yunjin, "Did you hear that? Zhen Yunjin’s guest is on my side!"
Shi Yaoguang and the others said nothing, waiting for his next words.
Xiao Shanghe continued, "Seeing as you’ve worked so hard serving my future wife, I won’t hold your arrogance in front of me against you."
"..." Zhen Yunjin looked confused, "Since when was I arrogant in front of you."
Xiao Shanghe: "I’m Zhen Yunjin’s future husband, and I’m here in person, yet you have no qualms sitting here and even invite me to play cards, isn’t this a provocation?"
Zhen Yunjin: "..."
Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei: "..."
Xiao Shanghe continued confidently, "And I believe, given my relationship with her, she’ll definitely be on my side when the time comes, so you, kept man, better stop embarrassing yourself here, and leave while you can!"
Zhen Yunjin: "..."
