Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 303: All Men Are Heartless Pigs!

The weather is getting hotter and hotter.

The doors and windows in the house are covered with a thick layer of paper, making the already humid and hot weather even more unbearable.

This uncomfortable feeling will last for several months, which is really annoying.

"Is there any ice, is there any ice? It’s killing me with this heat! Ah ah ah..."

The Young Prince, Qi Jingyu, stuck out his tongue, stumbling into the main hall. It was better ventilated here and cooler than inside the house. Long Yue and Li Qingmu were lounging on a wicker chair, cooling off with watermelon.

The little guy was quite boisterous, grabbing a piece of watermelon as soon as he came in and started eating it frantically.

The watermelon had been chilled in well water, tasting sweet and cooling as it refreshed the heart and lungs, calming the restless heart.

"Ah, it’s so hot. Do you have any watermelon? Oh, it’s really nice that when you’re thirsty someone brings you a drink, hahaha!"

Cao Xiao swaggered in, his forehead covered in sweat, which he wiped off with his sleeve. Then he saw a few pieces of watermelon on the table and without saying a word grabbed one to eat.

Qi Jingyu had just eaten a small piece, and then this person came in and took the biggest one, making the little guy jump three feet high in anger: "Stop, that’s my watermelon, you’re not allowed to eat it!"

"Hey hey hey, why is the little kid so stingy? What’s wrong with eating just a little? I’m dying of thirst here..."

The two of them were in a lively scuffle, one grabbing while the other dodged.

Long Yue stretched lazily, a bit helplessly, and said, "When it’s hot, you should keep calm. A cool heart makes everything cooler. You two are making so much fuss, no wonder it’s hotter!"

These two truly were getting themselves overheated.

"Madam, Miss Chang from the Chang Family is here!"

At this moment, Wang Xiaoliu came in to report.

Long Yue frowned slightly, Miss Chang, Chang Lexi? What is she here for?

She immediately looked at Cao Xiao with suspicion. This guy seemed to be getting close to Chang Lexi lately? Last time by Jinming Lake, she saw the two shoulder to shoulder, this... something fishy is going on!

This was the first time Chang Lexi visited since the last incident.

Long Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "Let her in."

Let’s see what kind of tricks she’s up to?

Soon, Chang Lexi came in.

Today, she wore a white gown with a wreath of little white stars, and furry little balls hung from the belt at her waist, each ball adorned with two bells underneath, jingling cheerfully as she walked.

Long Yue narrowed her eyes at her cheerful appearance: "Miss Chang, visiting my home, do you have any business?"

Chang Lexi wasn’t very fond of Long Yue, because this woman was too beautiful. For women... when faced with a woman more beautiful than themselves, they tend to feel a bit inferior. Too much inferiority breeds jealousy, and too much jealousy turns into hate...

Chang Lexi was in the throes of jealousy, but now she couldn’t be jealous.

Because she liked Cao Xiao, if she married him, this woman would become her junior, making her feel quite comfortable just thinking about it, hahaha!

Her heart gleeful, Chang Lexi wore a reasonable smile: "I came to deliver some ice! It’s been too hot lately, and since we made quite a bit of ice at home, I thought to bring some over!"

"Deliver ice?"

Long Yue looked at her curiously; would this woman be so kind as to bring them ice? It’s like the weasel paying respects to the chicken, up to no good.

"Yeah, don’t you guys feel hot?"

Chang Lexi walked in, looking around before shaking her head, "This place is decently ventilated. A breeze blowing, with some chilled watermelon, gets by, but what about at night? What do you do inside the house? Closing windows and doors makes it stuffy and unbearable, but if you open them, the cicadas outside make such a racket you can’t sleep!"

Those words made perfect sense; it was indeed the case.

Long Yue nodded, "It is really stuffy, and while I’ve tried to buy ice blocks before, it seems they’re unavailable."

With that, Chang Lexi lifted her chin, hands behind her back, looking very proud, "Of course. The Capital City is full of nobility and wealthy people, too numerous to count. Once summer comes, everyone needs ice, but there’s only so much ice available, it naturally goes to the more notable figures first!"

Long Yue rested her chin on her hand, thoughtfully, "No wonder I couldn’t buy any. I should have used my grandfather’s name, who wouldn’t sell me ice then?"

Uh... using the Xiping General Mansion name, you surely went to buy things, not to intimidate others?

"Then bring it in!"

Since ice blocks are being delivered, there’s no reason not to take them. It’s not just me, A Mu and the Young Prince are all waiting desperately for ice to get through these days!

Chang Lexi clapped her hands lightly, and immediately someone brought in five large wooden boxes.

Even before the boxes were opened, cool air wafted over.

"Wow, ice blocks, finally some relief, Shi Qin, hurry up, take a box to my room first!"

Qi Jingyu, feeling at home, didn’t care whether Chang Lexi minded or not, instructed Shi Qin to carry the ice blocks.

Chang Lexi’s face changed, a bit embarrassed and angry, as the ice blocks were specially sent for Cao Xiao. She had already been not too happy about it being used by Long Yue, but who was this brat that dared to use such precious ice blocks?

With her young lady temper flaring, she huffed, "Where did you come from, little thing? You think you deserve to use these ice blocks? These are especially for Brother Cao Xiao, go play in the mud!"

"Pfft..."

Chang Lexi actually dared to scold Qi Jingyu, making Long Yue unable to hold back a smile, for the first time finding her so adorable.

But fortunately, the little guy wasn’t angry, merely crossed his arms, and said loftily, "You said these ice blocks are for Cao Xiao?"

"Yes!"

"He’s my brother; his things are mine. Why shouldn’t I use them?"

"Wh... what?"

Chang Lexi was astonished, finding it unbelievable. She subconsciously looked at Cao Xiao, seeing him nodding furiously.

Immediately, an inexplicable sourness swept over her heart, making Chang Lexi blink away tears.

She thought about how she had worked hard to bring him ice, only for them to carry a box away. Her stopping them was only to let him use more, but he still nodded...

Aren’t you slapping me in the face?

Chang Lexi felt she was truly unfortunate, always down on her luck with the Cao family!

Cao Xiao, being clueless in romance, still had no sense of Chang Lexi’s feelings for him, though everyone else could clearly see it, especially Qi Jingyu.

This tiny mastermind could easily see through Chang Lexi’s intentions.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "But under certain circumstances, I wouldn’t dare misuse them."

Chang Lexi rubbed her eyes, forcing back tears, but couldn’t resist asking, "What circumstances?"

"Well... Friends’ wives should not be coveted! If it is something given to Cao Xiao by his future wife, no matter how close we are, how could I just help myself?"

At this remark, Chang Lexi’s already reddened face from the shame and anger grew even redder, like a boiled lobster.

She glared fiercely at Qi Jingyu, stomped her foot in fury, and found everyone looking at her with strange eyes, only then realizing her overreaction was like confessing her feelings without prompting.

"Damn it, damn it, men are all jerks!"

She shouted loudly, then turned on her heel and stormed off in anger.

Cao Xiao stood there confused...
