78: Chapter 78 The Cold and Aloof Older Sister's Chuunibyou Performance
Hearing someone hurling insults, the four women were a bit angry and looked up one after another.
A woman who was unrealistically cold and beautiful walked over, her expression emotionless, her aura like the biting wind of winter.
It made them feel a sharp, cutting sensation.
Instantly, they didn't dare to speak!
It was as if there was a bloodline suppression, like a pheasant seeing a phoenix.
Xia Ning walked up to them, reached out, grabbed Qin Xun's hand, and pulled him out of the circle of women.
She naturally linked her arm with Qin Xun's, looked coldly at the four indignant women, and said softly.
"If you're ugly, don't learn from others and come to my doorstep to snatch a man."
Qin Xun: "???"
What do you mean, a man at your doorstep?
The four women looked at the cold, aloof, and noble Xia Ning, wanting to say something, but couldn't get a word out.
They weren't ugly; on the contrary, they were somewhat pretty.
If they weren't standing next to this cold beauty, that is.
Xia Ning said coldly.
"Get lost!"
The four women scattered in dejection.
After walking a few steps, one woman felt she had lost face, suddenly turned back, put on a fierce look, and asked.
"What's your name?"
Xia Ning stared at that woman with an expressionless face, and only when she had stared her into feeling guilty and wanting to slip away did she suddenly speak.
"My surname is Xia, Xia as in laundry."
"With a backhand, I can make the pugilistic world explode."
Her face was cold, she spoke with dead seriousness, and even carried a tone of an Ice Queen.
Compared with the content, there was a strong contrast.
The woman: "???"
Qin Xun: "???"
The other three women turned back abruptly, looking at Xia Ning with shocked expressions.
Could it be... that she's a lunatic?
No wonder Manager Wang said Mr. Qin had a girlfriend at home who liked to cosplay; she looked like an Ice Queen, but her combat power was fierce.
Now it seems she is not only cold and fierce but also... a Chuunibyou!
Xia Ning met their surprised gazes, her expression calm.
The four women, realizing they were asking for trouble, ran away in dejection!
Can't afford to offend her! Can't afford to offend her!
Seeing them flee, Xia Ning let go of Qin Xun's arm.
Qin Xun turned his head to look at Xia Ning, his expression strange.
"Little Xia, what was that just now?"
Xia Ning looked straight ahead, face tense, trying her best to keep her tone calm as she explained.
"I just suddenly thought, if I can't even say the lines I practiced this afternoon in front of four people."
"Then how can I say them when filming tomorrow in front of dozens of people?"
Qin Xun: "..."
He gave a thumbs up.
"Mhm, not bad, excellent employee!"
"Your attitude is extremely correct."
Xia Ning pursed her lips, taking it as him praising her.
Suddenly.
Qin Xun felt a lingering warmth on his arm from where Xia Ning had linked with him, and his mood was somewhat complicated.
He patted his arm, looked at Xia Ning, and warned her with a serious face.
"Don't... touch me in the future."
Xia Ning: "..."
Hearing words that should have come from an innocent maiden, she wondered if Qin Xun had stolen her lines.
She said coldly.
"Don't pretend to be aggrieved after getting the advantage."
She paused, then said slowly.
"Stingy!"
Hearing the word "Stingy," Qin Xun felt helpless, thinking that by returning the 2000 yuan she had transferred to him, he had wounded her fragile and sensitive self-esteem.
Little did he know, Xia Ning was actually thinking.
Isn't it just rejecting your confession?
Is it necessary to put on airs with me here?
This time, I rejected you quite politely!
The two of them stared at each other.
Suddenly!
Xia Ning suddenly lifted her foot and stomped her high heel onto the top of Qin Xun's foot.
It wasn't very hard!
Qin Xun let out a howl, sounding like a slaughtered pig.
"Ah—"
Xia Ning ignored Qin Xun, walked into the apartment building, got in the elevator, and without waiting for Qin Xun to enter, pressed the button for the 6th floor.
Back at the rented apartment.
She sat in the living room and turned on the TV.
Before long.
Qin Xun came back limping.
Seeing this, Xia Ning felt a bit embarrassed.
"I didn't step that hard!"
Qin Xun rolled his eyes at her.
"You stepped on my little toe."
Xia Ning: "..."
"I'm sorry!"
But seeing Qin Xun ignore her and walk into the bedroom on his own.
Before long, sounds came from inside, as if he were packing his luggage.
Xia Ning quickly got up and walked to the door of Qin Xun's bedroom.
Sure enough, she saw Qin Xun picking out clothes and stuffing them into a backpack.
She frowned and asked.
"Qin Xun, what are you doing?"
Qin Xun looked up at her, said nothing, and continued packing.
She asked again.
"Is it because of what you said this afternoon... about having children?"
Qin Xun zipped up the bag, put it on, and snorted coldly.
"Children, whether you want to have them or not, what does that have to do with me?"
In Xia Ning's mind, she automatically translated this sentence.
"My confession, whether you want to accept it or not, I'm done serving you!"
She looked at Qin Xun, her face turning cold.
What a stingy man!
Regarding someone else's confession, she had already made the biggest concession of her life to Qin Xun, yet he was still unsatisfied and was throwing a tantrum.
Acting just like a woman!
Xia Ning said coldly.
"You don't have money to rent a house now!"
Qin Xun snorted coldly.
"I can go work as a gigolo and still earn some money."
He shouldered his bag and walked out, but saw Xia Ning blocking the doorway with no intention of moving aside.
He sighed and explained.
"Little Xia, I wasn't stopped by those four women at the entrance of the apartment building today."
"I was dragged down all the way from the door of the rented apartment."
"This place has already been exposed. Those shameless headhunting companies have started using a beauty-combo tactic with four women at once; it's getting more and more... to my taste."
"If this goes on, I'll fall for it sooner or later."
Xia Ning: "..."
Qin Xun continued.
"I'm going out to hide for two days!"
He squeezed past Xia Ning and walked out, but heard Xia Ning's voice sounding a bit anxious.
"If you leave, what about me?"
Qin Xun turned back and saw a trace of sadness on Xia Ning's face.
"If I leave, you'll be safe."
After saying this.
He left without looking back.
Xia Ning watched his retreating figure, looked at the empty house, and suddenly felt very empty inside.
After a while.
She walked into the bedroom, started packing her luggage, and also left.
Returned to her villa.
Suddenly, she thought of a possibility.
"In this villa area, without the owner's consent, outsiders can't get in at all."
"Otherwise?"
...
The next day.
Qin Xun arrived at the company right on time, walked straight into the General Manager's office, and saw Xia Ning already sitting behind the desk typing.
He greeted her.
"Good morning, Little Xia."
Xia Ning didn't answer, still typing on the keyboard, seemingly still angry at him.
Qin Xun felt helpless, walked over, picked up the milk Xia Ning had been drinking and the sandwich she had taken two bites of, examined them carefully, and sniffed them.
"The things from this convenience store are clean and hygienic."
"You should buy from this store in the future; you won't... get a stomachache."
Xia Ning stopped typing, looked up, watched him silently for a while, said nothing, and lowered her head to continue working.
She suddenly said.
"I practiced for a long time last night and am already able to shout 'My surname is Xia' without changing my expression, just like you."
"For the filming later, if you need someone to set an example, please make sure to call me on stage."
She looked serious.
She wanted to shine in the promotional video and let her father see her capabilities.
Qin Xun was stunned, then laughed.
"Good, good, good!"
"I'll grant your wish!"
"I will definitely grant your wish!"
