Chapter 82: I’m Here to Protect You
Shiyao held Duoduo in her arms as if holding a baby. Duoduo was both obedient and cute, and Shiyao took a picture and posted it on her Wechat Moment showily.
She got a like from someone the minute she posted the picture.
“Time?” Shiyao frowned. There were few strangers in her friend-list.
“Such an old-fashioned name.”
Shiyao looked through the chat history with the stranger, and there were only a few brief words. It was the doctor last time.
Since Shiyao was not used to chatting with strangers, she deleted him after thinking for a moment even though he was the doctor who had helped her once.
“Let’s go, Duoduo. Mom will get you something to eat!”
Duoduo looked at Shiyao with its tongue stuck out and its head aslant. It seemed to have understood Shiyao’s words, and it just kept rubbing against her bosom.
Duoduo suddenly barked at the gate alertly.
“Huh?” Shiyao looked at the gate with confusion, and she hadn’t expected the puppy which was only a few months old could be so alert.
A black sports car pulled up at the gate. Shiyao walked up curiously. Could it be that Miss Tang again?
“Be slow, Madame!” A maid hurried to help Shiyao immediately. Although Shiyao’s wound had almost healed, You Ze still exhorted the maid again and again to take good care of the girl, allowing no mistake.
As soon as Xiao Qing got off the car, she heard a maid call someone ‘Madame’ anxiously, and she raised her eyebrows slightly.
“Is she You Ze’s little wife?”
“Hi, I’m Xiao Qing!”
Xiao Qing had jumped in front of Shiyao before the latter could even react. Shiyao took a few steps back vigilantly, and stared at the girl in front of her alertly.
The girl wore a suit of leather clothes in black. Her hair was tied back high in a ponytail with her fair forehead revealed. Her eyes were sharp and she just looked so agile and aggressive.
“I don’t know you.” Shiyao said softly.
Xiao Qing looked at the girl in blue skirt. Shiyao didn’t wear any make-up, but was pretty as well. She seemed innocent and amiable.
“You Ze asked for me.” Xiao Qing said naturally.
“Then you can go to see him. He’s not here.”
Shiyao turned around with disdain, and she had swiftly pictured them two having a sad and touching love story. Why did You Ze get so many romantic affairs? Tang Ting had just stopped bothering her, but then here came a Xiao Qing.
Shiyao ignored Xiao Qing’s call, and walked back to the living room with Duoduo in her arms. Then she saw Xiao Qing walked in with vigorous strides.
Looking at the girl who was playing with the dog in the sofa, Xiao Qing got quite angry.
“As Mrs. You, You just attend to a guest this way?”
The You’s was not an ordinary wealthy family anyway, and they got their status and reputation today for some reasons. Shiyao looked just like a self-willed and innocent girl without any temperament of being a hostess.
“You just called me Mrs. You, so Miss, please make it clear. It is my home, and you have no right to make indiscreet remarks.”
The girl had just criticized her for not knowing how to attend to a guest, hadn’t she?
Shiyao sneered, and thought she had been so kind since she didn’t drive Xiao Qing out.
“You! I never expect You Ze to marry a stupid child! So ridiculous!”
“Who did you refer to!” Shiyao put down Duoduo and stood up with anger. Although she was just 1. 6 meters tall, her body was better developed than the average person. The girl had gone so far by calling her a stupid child!
“Yeah, it’s you!” Xiao Qing blurted out bluntly, and totally didn’t care about Shiyao’s identity as the hostess.
“Who’s there? Let me have a look!”
The voice of Jiang Fengyi came from the stairs.
“Grandma!” They shouted at the same time.
“Who’s here? Qing!”
Jiang Fengyi took quick short steps to Shiyao, and patted her on the back of her hand.
Xiao Qing looked at Shiyao proudly, and said, “Grandma, long time no see.”
Sizing her up amiably, Jiang Fengyi kept praising Xiao Qing.
“Look! You’re getting even more beautiful!”
The two greeted each other enthusiastically, while Shiyao, feeling upset, was eating an apple aside.
She should find a chance to make a thorough investigation of You Ze, shouldn’t she? Why did the guy get so many sweethearts? Could it be possible that he had been a playboy before?
Thinking of this, Shiyao bit the apple hard.
“Let me introduce her. This is the wife of A’ze–Shiyao.” Jiang Fengyi stood close to Shiyao delightedly, her every word and movement full of love and care for Shiyao.
“Hello.” Shiyao greeted Xiao Qing casually as if nothing happened just now.
Xiao Qing frowned all along. When Jiang Fengyi was young, she was a stern highflier who valued the good manners of the younger generation very much, and only turned a blind eye to You Ze. But now the girl acted so recklessly. How could it be possible that the grandma should dote on her so much?
“Yaoyao, it’s Xiao Qing, the grandchild of your grandpa’s comrade-in-arms. She is also A’ze’s comrade, and they two have been in the same unit.”
Shiyao rolled her eyes. Jesus, not only a playmate in childhood, but also a comrade who had fought shoulder to shoulder with him!
“Hi, Let me introduce myself once again. I’m Xiao Qing, A’ze’s comrade. I’m older than him, so you should call me sister.”
“Hi, sis!”
Leaning against Jiang Fengyi’s body obediently, Shiyao smiled to Xiao Qing sweetly, with a sense of cunningness that was only detected by Xiao Qing.
“Qing, you have been away from A City for a few years, right?” Jiang Fengyi recalled.
“Yes, I haven’t come back ever since I joined the army.”
“Why do you come here so unexpectedly? How’s your grandpa?”
Xiao Qing paused for a second, “He is in good health. My brother just got a new baby a few days ago, and he’s busy playing with the baby every day!”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Jiang Fengyi patted her thigh admiringly, “Do you hear it, Yaoyao! Come on! Give birth to a baby for A’ze as soon as possible!”
Biting the apple in hand silently, Shiyao giggled and nodded.
Xiao Qing looked at Shiyao calmly, “It’s A’ze that asked me to protect his wife this time.”
“Who? Me?”
Shiyao choked for a moment, and pointed to herself in suspicion.
“Or else? Does he get another wife?”
“Ha ha…”
Shiyao poked Jiang Fengyi in embarrassment.
“Grandma, I don’t need someone to protect me…”
Oh, God! She was not disabled. She had made the biggest compromise by staying at home every day. Why did You Ze send a female bodyguard to protect her!
Shiyao got goose bumps all over as soon as she thought of the fact that she had to take the fierce woman along with her wherever she went.
Xiao Qing rolled her eyes with disdain. Actually she didn’t want to come! She once was a dignified colonel, but was called to protect a stupid girl?! Jesus! If it hadn’t been for You Ze’s sake, she wouldn’t cast even a single glance at Shiyao.
Xiao Qing got an impulse to leave at once, but at the thought of being forced to date someone by her grandpa if she returned home, she got helpless and had to stay still.
She had planned to be a coach in the army after retirement, but her grandpa stopped her work by force, took her home and forced her to get married. If You Ze hadn’t said he needed someone to help him, her grandpa wouldn’t have allowed her out.
Having weighed the pros and cons at the thought of this, Xiao Qing decided she was more willing to protect the girl.
