Chapter 49 – Dugu Xianmeng’s Little Scheme
Ma Xiaotao had indeed come to speak with Zhou Sichen about something important, but with Dugu Xianmeng standing right beside him, she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Seeing Xianmeng's smug and gleeful expression, Ma Xiaotao swallowed her anger. After finishing the roast meat in her hand, she stood up.
"I'll come see you tomorrow morning, junior," she said before turning and walking away.
Dugu Xianmeng watched her go, humming triumphantly with an exaggerated grin.
Zhou Sichen smiled helplessly and turned to the charming beauty beside him. "What are you doing? Anyone watching would think you're my wife or something!"
Even though Zhou Sichen sounded a bit serious, Dugu Xianmeng responded with a sweet smile. "Well, it's not like that's off the table..."
Zhou Sichen raised an eyebrow. "Huh?"
Xianmeng giggled. "What I mean is, since Big Sis isn't here, it's only right for me, as her best friend, to take care of you in her place."
"Ma Xiaotao has always been the type to keep her distance from people. Waiting for a guy outside his house in the middle of the night? Clearly, she has ulterior motives. I'm just protecting you, alright?"
Zhou Sichen was speechless. "So, her intentions aren't pure... and yours are?"
As he spoke, he tried to let go of Xianmeng's soft hand—only to find she had already tightened her grip on his.
