Chapter 355 Xia Zheng Returns (7)_1
Lin Yuan pursed her lips, thinking that he doesn’t get jealous because he’s too busy being vain again. She pushed Xia Zheng’s suddenly enlarged face to the side with disdain and huffed, "Still trying to look like a graceful gentleman? Have you even seen what you look like right now? Your beard is scruffy, your hair’s a complete mess, and you still have the nerve to criticize someone else for being dark-skinned. I think even Little Iron Head is cleaner and more pleasant to look at than you!"
Xia Zheng, whose face had been pushed away, leaned in close again, vigorously shaking his face in front of hers, "What kind of eyesight is that? Even with a scruffy beard and covered in dirt, I’m still more handsome than anyone else!"
After saying that, he suddenly hummed with a sense of grievance, "Besides, if I’m unkempt, it’s all because of a certain person. If I hadn’t been so eager to meet that person, I wouldn’t have traveled non-stop for eight hours! Ah, such a waste of my devoted heart to have been given to the wrong person."
While speaking, Xia Zheng even covered his own chest with his hand as if he was truly taking out his heart, only to have mistakenly given it away.
Lin Yuan was both annoyed and amused, and tugged his hand away from his chest, scolding, "Cut the dramatics; go and wash up already, and get some rest."
Her words, however, came from the heart. Truth be told, when she first saw Xia Zheng, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. She thought about how this gentleman, once so elegant and distinguished, had become such a mess—all because of her, a mere village girl. Her heart swelled with a mix of tenderness and warmth.
Having such a man dote on and love her truly was a very fortunate and happy thing.
However, to her surprise, as soon as Lin Yuan finished speaking, Xia Zheng promptly refused, "No, I want to go with you!"
Having said that and seeming to have thought of something, he pointed to Lin Yi, who was already sitting on the shaft of the cart, ready to leave at any moment, "He can now stay at your place; I want to stay at the Lin family’s home too."
