CHAPTER 14

Another Slap in the Face

An Chuxia is momentarily shocked. Like a fool, Han Qilu stares at her eyes. As soon as Xiao Mingluo appears, he deliberately spouts nonsense to give them a good show.

“I’m simply going out with An Chuxia since the beginning of summer,” he says with disdain. “Are you open to an inside joke? She is nothing but the Han family’s maid. When I get tired of her, I will kick her out!”

Although his statement is far from the truth, the joke struck her like a knife. The force of the insult plunges straight into her heart.

As he puts his hand on her shoulders, she says, “Don’t expect too much!”

“Listen”, Han Qilu chortles. “If you are not our family’s maid, then what are you to my family?” Well … other than saving the old man’s life, right?

“You … .” She does not know how to refute his statement.

“Han Qilu!” Xiao Mingluo quietly scolds him. He realizes the problem is deeper than what Qilu implies. He suddenly feels sorry for An Chuxia.

Han Qilu does not know how to tease her lightly.He can’t but laugh at the tension. “An Chuxia, do you think that putting on an angel face won’t let me see through your dirty heart? Your dead mother would find it disgusting!”

“I won’t allow you to say anything about my mother!” She suddenly raises her head and walks toward Han Qilu and hands him the slap he deserves.

Han Qilu frowns and raises his hand to counter her arm in the air. Jaw tight, he is now very angry. This damn woman actually thinks she can beat him again?

“Do you think I don’t know? You don’t even have a father. Who knows what kind of wild man your mother took home to have you?”
