Chapter 208: Chapter 208: That Is Vulgar, Not Flirting
Xiao Jinghuai turned his head and saw the girl’s bright, sun-like face. He also glanced at the edge of the teacup she held, suspended just beneath his mouth.
Her pink fingers lightly pinched it, made even more crystalline by the transparent cup, tempting him to take a bite.
Shang Tao looked on nervously, afraid her iron-faced and impartial uncle might not accept the gesture.
Once he drank, it would mean there was still room for maneuver in this matter.
Song Song saw him just staring at her without making any further moves. Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, he suddenly took the edge of the teacup into his mouth, his lower lip lightly touching her right index finger...
The sensation was as if her hand was placed in his mouth, being gently sucked.
Thus, under the watchful eyes of the two on the opposite side, Xiao Jinghuai took a sip of tea, and then became stern again!
Shang Tao and Cheng Hennan witnessed this, feeling inexplicably they had been force-fed romantic drama.
The previously tense atmosphere suddenly turned somewhat romantic.
Especially Shang Tao, she pitifully said to Cheng Hennan, "Did you see that? That’s what true flirting looks like, not your kind where you strip naked and lie on the bed—that’s vulgar, not flirting!"
"Flirting should be understated, yet make one’s inner universe explode, you understand?"
"...I don’t understand."
Cheng Hennan shook his head, "I truly don’t understand."
Initially, Song Song didn’t think anything was amiss, but after Shang Tao’s comments, she realized, and her face instantly turned red. She deliberately turned her head to look elsewhere, grabbed the cup haphazardly, and started drinking water.
Did he just flirt?
Actually, it wasn’t too bad!
But after Shang Tao mentioned it, why did she feel her body start to tremble?
Is it appropriate to react like this in such a serious setting?
"Baozi..."
Shang Tao’s voice rang again, and Song Song instinctively looked over with the teacup in hand, "Wh-what’s wrong?"
"Baozi, the cup in your hand is your uncle’s..."
Shang Tao kindly reminded her, even though their relationship was close enough to be inseparable, it didn’t mean they could share everyday items, right!
If she remembered correctly, someone seemed to be a serious germaphobe.
Song Song was startled, quickly put down the cup, then picked up hers again, deliberately turning her head away, feeling all sweaty!
Why does she become so abnormal whenever he’s present?
The atmosphere was genuinely tense to the point of explosion, but thanks to Song Song’s random antics, it shifted from tight to romantic, then relaxed...
Seeing someone’s expression became less stern, Shang Tao said, "Uncle, I know you and my parents mean well, but I’m grown up now and want to make my own decisions on many things."
"The main thing is that Nannan is willing to give up and withdraw from those matters. I think as long as he has the determination to stay out of it, we can surely live an ordinary life, right? Nannan..."
Actually, Song Song still didn’t understand why they opposed them.
This Cheng Hennan seemed like a talented person, most importantly, the way he looked at Taozi, so gentle, really gentle. She believed that being with him, Taozi would definitely be spoiled like a little princess.
Xiao Jinghuai looked at the man sitting opposite, his expression turned cold again, "Is this the promise you give?"
"...Yes, I’m willing to give up those. Mr. Xiao, isn’t that sincere enough?"
"Ha!" Xiao Jinghuai’s smile became even colder, "You want nothing, what will you use to support her, just with your ungraduated high school diploma?"
Song Song clearly felt the atmosphere returned to its former tension, even more suffocating than before.
