306 Princess or piggy (1/2)
”No. Call her Mrs. Qin.”
Zeke: ”. . .”
Zeke pinched the skin between his brows. ”When did she even become Mrs Qin?”
”Well, just now. She'll be my future wife.” He smirked at him and then in the next second, he became serious again. ”So give her the respect she deserves and address her as Mrs Qin, understand?”
”Oh, so Alexander the great actually wants to marry now? And what's ever more newsworthy is that he wants to marry a human maid of all girls he can choose from in this world?”
”Well, isn't it time for me to settle down? I'm sick being single! I have been single for thousands of years!”
”. . .”
Zeke silently sighed. When did this man become so annoying? Was he actually being serious right now?
”Great. Yeah, Alex. But I personally think you're getting way too ahead of yourself. Does the girl even like you?”
”She will. Soon,” he declared, confident. ”So don't even think about hitting on her, Zeke. You will just get rejected and then I would be forced to say 'I told you so' as you nurse your broken heart.”
What the hell is he even talking about now?
”What if she's already married? Did you think about that?” Zeke rebutted.
”She's not! She isn't wearing a wedding ring,” Alex said proudly, as if he had actually done his research on the matter, as if that was the one and only thing that he needed to look for to come to that conclusion.
Zeke threw him a disbelieving look before his poker face took over. ”Enough with this nonsense, Alex. I have an important matter to tell her. She needs to know about the journey we just decided to go on because there's someone out there who wants to take her home.”
Alex's face darkened. The dragon seemed to be ready to devour whoever this 'someone' was.
”Don't even think about it. The guy is important to her. You will make her hate you if you touch him so control yourself.”
”Important to her…” he echoed. ”How important?”
”Her childhood friend, I hear.”
Alex's face brightened. ”Oh… just a little childhood friend.” He leaned against the wall, looking relieved that this 'someone' wasn't a threat.
Zeke could only shake his head and finally entered.
”Your friends are coming,” he told Abi and Abi finally remembered Kelly and Chris.
She looked for her phone and found it dead on the table, literally.
”I killed it. It was noisy,” Alex butted in as he leaned against the door.
Ah, this man…
”You will deal with them. Make sure that your friend Chris won't make a scene,” he instructed like a king.
