Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 304: Qixi Festival, Will You Accompany Me?

Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Qixi Festival, Will You Accompany Me?

Long Yue watched Chang Lexi leave crying, and suddenly felt a bit guilty. After all, she came to deliver ice, treating her like this didn’t seem right.

She turned around to look at her still bewildered brother-in-law and said, "Why don’t you hurry up and chase after her?"

"Oh..."

Cao Xiao responded, dazed, and dashed out.

Qi Jingyu, deep in thought, propped up his chin: "This Miss Chang seems to like your brother-in-law. The Chang Family is a staunch supporter of the Third Prince, and you’ve had conflicts with her before. Is this really okay?"

Long Yue shook her head: "I don’t know if this is good or bad, but I can see that Chang Lexi is serious about him. Finding someone who truly cares for you in this world is not easy.

Though I’ve had a conflict with Chang Lexi, Cao Xiao is my brother-in-law, my dear kin, of course I wish him well."

These words are undoubtedly true.

The Chang Family and the Cao Family are not mortal enemies. Long Yue and Li Qingmu stood against them for revenge, whereas the Cao Family never picked a side. The Cao Family has always been loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!

So, if they really want to form a marriage alliance, it’s entirely possible.

Moreover, the Third Prince is protective. If there’s an alliance with the Chang Family, it would add an extra layer of protection in the future, and also another ally. Why not?

Qi Jingyu had already opened the box, placing a block of ice in a wooden basin. The room’s temperature instantly dropped, the coolness refreshing the heart, and people instantly felt better.

Qi Jingyu sat in a chair, legs crossed, and without Cao Xiao’s contention, he comfortably devoured a slice of watermelon.

He then said, "Cao Xiao is a naive fool, probably doesn’t understand Miss Chang’s feelings toward him. As a friend, I’ve pointed it out to this extent, which is quite considerate, isn’t it? The rest is up to him."

...

Chang Lexi felt very aggrieved.

She went to great lengths to procure these five boxes of ice blocks from her father, intending to give them to the man she cared about, yet the ice hadn’t even warmed, and she was giving it away—not to mention being publicly humiliated!

She is the cherished daughter of the Chang Family, a precious gem in the palm, adored by many, flattered by others, never treated harshly, let alone being embarrassed like this!

Yet, she has been thwarted by the Cao Family people more than once or twice.

Are they naturally cursed against me?

Chang Lexi felt sad, tears fell uncontrollably.

"Whew, Miss Chang, you... you ran so fast?"

Cao Xiao had just eaten quite a few slices of watermelon, his stomach was full of water, making it hard to run, so he couldn’t run fast, ending up exhausted after chasing Chang Lexi all the way.

Upon hearing the voice from behind, Chang Lexi quickly wiped her tears and showed a happy smile, he actually caught up, is he worried about her?

Indeed, last time she almost encountered danger, it was thanks to him?

Recalling the past incident, Chang Lexi felt both scared and delighted, she quickly turned around and looked expectantly at the man who caught up.

"Brother Cao, do you have something to say?" she called sweetly, her small face slightly flushed, her hands placed beside not knowing where to put.

Cao Xiao scratched his head, feeling a bit awkward and embarrassed: "It was Yue’er who asked me to chase, I don’t know why..."

"You..."

Chang Lexi’s beautiful eyes widened, she looked at him angrily, feeling furious.

This man... clearly has a wooden fish head!

In annoyance, she flicked her sleeves and huffed: "Since you don’t know why you chased me, then go away, go, I don’t want to see you!"

"But... I was worried you’d encounter danger!"

Chang Lexi’s originally big eyes filled with water again, but upon hearing Cao Xiao’s words, they instantly brightened, the tears rolled back.

"Really?"

"Of course it’s true, why would I lie to you?"

Chang Lexi became even happier, nodded slightly: "Then, will you send me back?"

"Sure!"

Thus, Cao Xiao led the way, with Chang Lexi following step by step behind, occasionally raising her head to look at the man in front, blushing each time she took a glance.

She did not know what he felt about her, only aware his carefree demeanor probably did not put her in his heart?

The crucial thing is that youth...

He speaks too plainly, does he understand?

Nervous at heart, Chang Lexi hesitated a bit, but still asked: "Brother Cao, you know... previously that young man said friends’ wives shouldn’t be entangled, you think..."

"That boy is simply a scoundrel, talking nonsense, Miss Chang, don’t take it to heart, or I’d feel bad for you!"

Cao Xiao instinctively said, Chang Lexi’s face paled slightly.

Why is this...

He doesn’t care about her at all, sob sob sob...

This man is just a big pork chop!

"Cao Xiao!"

Chang Lexi was angry, suddenly shouted loudly.

"Hmm?" Cao Xiao turned around, curious, "What is it?"

"Cao Xiao, in a few days it will be Qixi Festival, you... I want to see the lanterns, can you accompany me?"

Qixi Festival, also known as the Seven Sisters’ Festival, is a day for men and women to express love, and many young lads and ladies invite their beloved to wander together.

Chang Lexi didn’t intend to say it, too shy, but upon seeing Cao Xiao’s dazed expression, she wanted to throw a punch, and instinctively said it.

Cao Xiao nodded, but quickly shook his head: "No, you can find someone else, why choose me?"

"Who do you want me to find?"

Chang Lexi hummed dissatisfied.

Cao Xiao thought about it, and said: "You can find your elder brother?"

"My elder brother is busy, and I don’t have close friends, even if there were, everyone is weak, what if we encounter bad people?"

"This..."

Cao Xiao was dumbfounded, scratching his head vigorously, indeed, if it wasn’t for him last time, Chang Lexi would have been ruined, even losing her life.

What to do? Should I really accompany her? What if it tarnishes her reputation?

Cao Xiao was very conflicted, seeing the girl’s teary eyes, he instinctively said: "It’s inconvenient, after all, you’re a young girl, if I accompany, it might cause gossip."

Now they were at the Chang Family’s gate, a steward came out to welcome the young miss home.

Chang Lexi, seeing Cao Xiao’s repeated refusals, was extremely frustrated, pointing at him, she yelled: "Cao Xiao, you bastard, I hate you!"

What?

Cao Xiao was completely bewildered, feeling inexplicable, he spoke nicely and even escorted her back, how did she hate him?

And...

He glanced around, noticing passersby pointing at him, with unfriendly gazes.

This is... what does it mean?

While Cao Xiao was confused, many people came out of the Chang house wielding swords and sticks, the leading one sneered: "Mr. Cao, please!"

"What do you mean?"

Cao Xiao took a step back, seeing these people with weapons, apparently ready for real action, his hair stood on end, scanning around, his body slightly crouched, assuming a defensive posture.

"You bullied our young miss, the master invites you over for a chat!"

Another person appeared, coldly.
