Gain A Cute Wife By 'Kidnap'

Chapter 64 - Shang Xiaojie's Vinegar

“Honestly, what's the reason for your anger?” Mu Sifa questioned. “I did it for your benefit, you know?”

Shang Xiaojie's lips twitched as he muttered, exuding an air of ‘I have good intentions, but you're treating me like a workhorse.'

“If you doubt me, go ask the guy inside!” Shang Xiaojie gestured toward the receptionist using a subtle nod.

The staff member seemed somewhat awkward, but his guilty avoidance of Elina's gaze implied agreement with Shang Xiaojie.

“You see? I'm not just spouting nonsense! This perfume really smells… pungent. Using less of it would be wiser. Mu Sifa was so close to you just now, is his nose alright?”

Concern for Mu Sifa's well-being crept into his expression, causing Shang Xiaojie's brow to furrow.

Hearing this, Elina was left speechless. She had been wearing this perfume ever since she knew Mu Sifa, and each time she would deliberately apply a generous amount, hoping to radiate her mature allure. But now she was being told that her signature scent was unpleasant, making it hard for her to contain her embarrassment!

“Hey, hey, hey? What's the matter? Petrified? Just tell me if you're okay!”

Shang Xiaojie inquired about Mu Sifa's expected return time, but instead of Elina replying, she appeared lost in thought. This led Shang Xiaojie to wave his hand in front of her, snapping her out of her reverie.

Elina, abruptly snapping back to reality, swatted his hand away and exclaimed, “Who asked you to babble so much?” Then she chastised him before striding away.

Shang Xiaojie blinked, perplexed. “Did I say something wrong?” His gaze shifted to the front desk staff.

The staff remained flustered, unsure of what to say. Yet, they couldn't help but steal a few more glances at Shang Xiaojie. His exchange with Mu Sifa had left them in a daze.

Was he really the dean's wife? A man? It seemed too surreal!

Oh, right! Mr. Xi Men and Mr. Gong Haoran were, after all, a married couple.

But what kind of situation was this? Why did it seem like numerous men were marrying same-sex partners and having children? Could it truly be a man?

The staff were at a loss. The top two individuals had them completely befuddled.

“Excuse me, when will Mu Sifa come out?” A mere ten minutes of waiting had Shang Xiaojie already feeling fatigued. He rested his upper body on the counter as he let out a soft sigh.

Observing Shang Xiaojie's expression, the staff member couldn't help but blush as they stammered, “I believe he should be out shortly. Madam, if you could please wait a little longer.” Ye Zichen turned to the side, avoiding direct eye contact with Shang Xiaojie.

Oh no, not good! This lady is just way too adorable! Even her simple gestures have the power to captivate souls and charm one to the point of sheer cuteness.

It's no wonder the principal married her. He indeed possesses the ability to sway a man's heart.

“Then I'll just watch the video and wait for him!” It's quite dull anyhow.”

Ye Zichen retrieved his phone to play a video clip, but he still remained seated. He tilted his head, peered at it with a sullen expression, and eventually just aimlessly swiped through his phone out of boredom.

The staff member who had merely glanced earlier blushed again, hastily averting their gaze.

All of a sudden, the sound of footsteps echoed not too far away. Shang Xiaojie's excitement prompted her to sit up, her gaze fixated on the source of the noise with anticipation. Soon enough, Mu Sifa approached, accompanied by another man.

Though Shang Xiaojie couldn't discern their conversation clearly, it was evident the other person held Mu Sifa in high regard.

Was it a patient? Family?

Shang Xiaojie was perplexed, but her discomfort surged when she observed the individual walking and conversing beside Mu Sifa.

“Why do you always engage with others?” She murmured softly, a tinge of annoyance in her voice.
