Gain A Cute Wife By 'Kidnap'

Chapter 85



Chapter 85 - Is Not Just Possessive

From his vantage point upstairs, Huangfu Shao had been observing everything. Noticing Shang Xiaojie's evident nervousness, he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, what truly astounded him was Mu Sifa's transformation. Mu Sifa had always been a person of a challenging demeanor, appearing as if he could stand above everyone and never concede.

But in front of Shang Xiaojie, his usual proud and unrestrained demeanor faded. All he displayed was anger towards those who had wronged Shang Xiaojie's group.

The rapid change in Mu Sifa's attitude took him by surprise. Could Xiaojie have been the reason behind it? Was this why Mu Renying wished for him to wed Xiaojie?

Such thoughts sparked Huangfu Shao's curiosity, yet he soon dismissed them. He believed that Mu Renying's thought process was unconventional, so this possibility might not have crossed his mind.

“Regardless, it's commendable that he realizes his wrongs towards Xiaojie. I'll overlook it this time,” he thought.

Huangfu Shao stepped back, clearly showing more respect towards Shang Xiaojie.

He then dialed Huangfu Qiao on his phone. Upon connecting, he immediately remarked, “Brat, you should be home by now.”

A disappointed Huangfu Qiao responded, “I planned to go shopping with Mu Xiaoxiao and Xiaojie. May I return a bit later?”

“Acting up, are we? Have you completed your tasks? Remember what you promised before leaving? That you'd come right back after seeing Xiaojie?”

The tone was stern, characteristic of Huangfu Shao when dealing with Huangfu Qiao. Perhaps his stringent ways stemmed from his protective nature, being wary of Huangfu Qiao mingling in raucous environments.

“I'll catch up on it as soon as I'm back. I guarantee I won't be late. I'll return this afternoon, alright?” Huangfu Qiao's reply was a blend of appeasement and charm.

Huangfu Shao was inherently tender-hearted. He wasn't one to overly confine Huangfu Qiao. Yet, amidst this, Xiao Ming interjected, “Why do you always take the meat from my plate? Isn't it mine?”

“There is! But I finished it.”

Mu Xiaoxiao remained composed, even though Xiao Ming seemed on the verge of losing his temper. After her comment, she audaciously ate the meat from Xiao Ming's bowl, unbothered by his intimidating look.

“Why are you so miserly?” “Is it that if you eat a little less meat, you'll perish?”

Dealing with someone like Mu Xiaoxiao must have been challenging for Xiao Ming. He often felt dominated and unsure of how to handle her.

Xiao Ming's anger was not directed at her actions but rather Mu Xiaoxiao's audacity.

Finally, he simply served more meat, allowing Mu Xiaoxiao to indulge.

“You mentioned you wanted to speak to Mu Xiaoxiao, so why do I hear a man's voice?” His displeasure was evident as he frowned.

Huangfu Qiao felt a pang of regret. He realized he had forgotten to instruct them to remain silent.

“That, and our classmates.”

He chose his words cautiously, fully aware of his elder brother's jealous and possessive nature.

“I should head back now, big brother.” He was eager to end the call and escape the tense mood.

Huangfu Shao wasn't going to let him off easily, his voice laced with threat, “Should I come and fetch you? Or will you come to me?”

Feeling cornered, Huangfu Qiao nearly choked up, “I'll come to you.”

He had no choice but to comply at once. Ignoring Huangfu Shao's demands would lead to dire consequences for him.

“You have three minutes. Be even a second late, and I'll ensure you won't walk tomorrow.” With that, he ended the call.

“This isn't good.” Realizing the gravity of the situation, Huangfu Qiao wasted no time and made a hasty exit.

“What's going on? Another one?” Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned.
