Xiao Ruoxuan straightened her clothes, appearing obedient.
Looking at Cheng Yang’s handsome appearance, her heart thumped wildly.
Copying what Xiao Ying calls Cheng Yang by, she called out, “Brother Cheng.”
Cheng Yang glanced at Xiao Ruoxuan and said calmly, “You randomly address people as Brother whenever you see them. Is this the obedience and sensibility of the Xiao family?”
Xiao Ruoxuan froze, her eyes filling with tears.
Madam Xiao’s expression also turned ugly, but she still tried to smooth things over. “Ruoxuan just feels like she’s close to you. Besides, didn’t Ying’er also call you Brother? Ruoxuan and Ying’er are sisters…”
Cheng Yang interrupted Madam Xiao and said in the same indifferent tone, “Can anyone compare to this little girl?”
He really had immense double standards.
Madam Xiao’s face turned green from anger while Xiao Ruoxuan shed tears behind her.
Cheng Yang ignored them. If Madam Xiao hadn’t come up and started saying bad things about Xiao Ying, he probably wouldn’t have bothered with them at all.
Watching Cheng Yang walk past them, Madam Xiao gritted her teeth. “Since Ying’er is injured, let me take her home. There’s no need to trouble you, Mr. Cheng.”
Cheng Yang paused his footsteps and gently patted Xiao Ying’s leg.
Xiao Ying thought for a moment and said, “Brother, put me down.”
Cheng Yang didn’t move. Frowning unhappily, he asked, “You want to go with them?”
Before Xiao Ying could answer, Madam Xiao said, “Ying’er is my daughter, so she naturally has to come with me.”
Her words were venting her anger as she looked straight at Cheng Yang.
Cheng Yang glanced over and Madam Xiao instantly took a step back.
He frowned and said to Xiao Ying, “I’ll drive you home.”
With that, he took Xiao Ying back to his car, unconcerned with what the two people behind him thought.
When Madam Xiao came back to her senses, she could only see the butt of Cheng Yang’s car.
Xiao Ruoxuan held onto Madam Xiao with tears in her eyes. “Does Brother Cheng Yang not like me?”
Madam Xiao also had a headache, but she couldn’t tell the truth to a child, so she responded tactfully.
“No, Ruoxuan is so cute, of course Brother Cheng Yang will like you. It’s just that your sister was injured today, so he’s a little anxious.”
Those words were obviously just meant to comfort her, but Xiao Ruoxuan took them seriously.
Xiao Ruoxuan was annoyed that Xiao Ying had ruined her plans, but at the same time, she continued fantasizing about Cheng Yang one day treating her like how he treated Xiao Ying.
Cheng Yang’s expression was still dark when he seated Xiao Ying in his car.
Xiao Ying smiled helplessly and said, “Brother, I’ll still come back to play with you in the future.”
Cheng Yang said nothing, his expression remaining cold.
Xiao Ying tried again. “Brother, I’ll come find you tomorrow, okay?”
Cheng Yang’s eyebrows moved, but he still did not speak.
Seeing the change in Cheng Yang, Xiao Ying secretly smiled before saying in a dejected tone, “Brother, you don’t like playing with me? I guess I won’t disturb you then.”
Cheng Yang quickly replied, “No.”
He then saw the smile on Xiao Ying’s face.
Despite knowing that he had been tricked, Cheng Yang was not angry. He stroked Xiao Ying’s head, feeling shocked at his own patience.
Cheng Yang did not send Xiao Ying home directly. Instead, he went to the nearest apartment he had.
It was only after bandaging Xiao Ying’s wound that he drove her home.
Xiao Ying stood outside the car and waved at Cheng Yang before entering the Xiao family’s house.
Cheng Yang stood by the door, watching until Xiao Ying disappeared inside before driving his car away.
When Xiao Ying returned home, the first thing she faced was Madam Xiao and Xiao Ruoxuan, both of them sitting on the couch.
Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Ying with an ugly expression and interrogated, “Why did you take so long to come back?”
Xiao Ying pointed to the wound on her foot and said, “Brother took me somewhere to bandage my wound first.”
A hint of jealousy flashed across Xiao Ruoxuan’s face as she tugged at Madam Xiao’s sleeve..
