Let’s Divorce! - Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Public Display of Affection

Xia Ran, who wasn’t far away, heard Zhu Qian’s words clearly.

She really laughed. How could this woman be so pretentious? She even had a nightmare after being beaten up by her. Wasn’t it because she had done too many guilty things that she had nightmares?

Seeing Zhu Qian complaining in Mu Hua’s arms, Xia Ran walked over. “Sir!”

This crisp and sweet shout caused Mu Hua and Zhu Qian to turn around.

A hint of viciousness flashed across Zhu Qian’s eyes when she saw Xia Ran in her cool pajamas and her slender arms.

Didn’t she just have a good figure? Her figure wasn’t bad either!

She was just a little girl. Zhu Qian believed that she wouldn’t lose.

“The wind is a little cold. Why did you come out?” Seeing that Xia Ran wasn’t wearing a coat, Mu Hua walked over and took off his coat to put it on her shoulders. This was how he usually took care of her.

Zhu Qian’s eyes widened and her fists clenched.

Why was Mu Hua so concerned about this little girl?

And he expressed his concern very naturally, as if they usually interacted like this.

“You’re so good to me. I saw that you ran out and thought that something had happened to you. I was worried about you, so I followed you out,” Xia Ran deliberately said to Mu Hua sweetly.

However, she glanced at Zhu Qian from the corner of hereye. She wanted to anger her!

Mu Hua was extremely helpless. “I’m a man. What are you worried about? Go back first.”

“Yes, yes.” Xia Ran nodded obediently, then deliberately said to the neglected Zhu Qian, “Auntie, let’s go. It’s a little cold here!”

Zhu Qian’s expression darkened when she heard her address her as auntie again.

Mu Hua also felt that it was inappropriate. He held Xia Ran’s hand and lectured her like an elder brother. “Ranran, you can’t be so rude and call her Auntie.”

“I think she’s about the same age as you. If I call you sir, then she’s an auntie, right?” Xia Ran looked innocent. “Why don’t we call her big sister?”

Zhu Qian was about to burst with anger. Not only did Mu Hua walk in front and ignore her, but he even discussed with Xia Ran whether to call her auntie or big sister!

“Ah!”

Zhu Qian deliberately fell to the ground.

Only then did Mu Hua turn around and immediately help her up.

Xia Ran stood at the side coldly and watched her act.

“I’m sorry, Mu Hua. I shouldn’t have disturbed you guys at such a late hour. I was alone… I was too lonely…” Zhu Qian pretended to be understanding and apologetic.

“We weren’t disturbed. Is the fall serious? Can you walk?” Mu Hua asked.

“I think my knee hurts a little. I might need your help…” Zhu Qian replied softly.

Xia Ran immediately went forward and pushed Mu Hua away. Then, she said considerately, “Then let me support her. Everyone here knows that we’re husband and wife. It won’t be good if someone sees you supporting her. Let me do it.”

It did make sense. Mu Hua didn’t insist.

Zhu Qian was furious. Why was this little girl so scheming? She even knew how to find brilliant excuses!

However, she couldn’t refuse and could only let Xia Ran support her.

After returning home, Auntie He poured a cup of tea for Zhu Qian while Xia Ran and Mu Hua sat opposite her.

“Sleep here tonight. There’s a guest room.” Mu Hua’s tone was neutral, but there wasn’thing wrong with it.

“Yes, sorry to disturb you two.” Zhu Qian was still pretending.

At this moment, her gaze suddenly landed on Xia Ran’s collarbone. There were two to three very obvious hickeys there.

For a moment, she felt extremely jealous!

Although she already knew that Mu Hua and Xia Ran had been sleeping together, Zhu Qian comforted herself by thinking that Mu Hua had found a hostess. However, upon seeing the traces of their lovemaking with her own eyes, she was still jealous and angry.

“It’s not cold at home anymore!” Xia Ran realized that Zhu Qian was sizing her up. She deliberately took off Mu Hua’s jacket, revealing her fair and slender shoulders. The hickeys were even clearer.

Zhu Qian’s hand was holding the teacup so tightly that she almost crushed it.

“Mu Hua, I have something to talk to you about. Is it convenient?” Zhu Qian only wanted to chase Xia Ran away.

Mu Hua glanced at Xia Ran and patted her shoulder gently. “Ranran, it’s very late. Go up and sleep first. I’ll come up later.”

“No, I’ll wait for you here. You guys can talk. Treat me as air!” Xia Ran refused. She wanted to be the third wheel.

Zhu Qian gritted her teeth in anger, but there wasn’thing she could do.

Mu Hua’s expression turned serious. “Be good and stop fooling around.”

“Alright, then kiss me. I’ll go up immediately afterwards.” Xia Ran deliberately showed off her affection.
