Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 1167 - 1169: Sworn Siblings (Part 5)

Leaving the consultation room, Xin Xiaoxiao finally got close to Xiang Yiqing, their arms brushing against each other, she looked down at the mousse cake in his hand and confidently asked, "Did Qiu Yang buy this cake for you?"

Xiang Yiqing nodded, "Yeah."

"Looks like you want to rekindle the old flame with her." Xin Xiaoxiao smiled ambiguously.

Xiang Yiqing stopped walking, stared at Xin Xiaoxiao with a dark expression, "I haven’t had lunch yet; I still have a chance to back out."

Not even three sentences in, she started teasing him.

Xin Xiaoxiao ignored his threat, giving him a sidelong glance, "If you don’t want to rekindle the old flame with her, why won’t you let me have the cake?"

There was a hint of displeasure in her tone that she wasn’t aware of.

She finished speaking and raised her chin, looking very high and mighty.

Xiang Yiqing said, "It’s just a piece of cake."

Why does it have to be about something this complicated? What does it have to do with rekindling anything?

He just really felt that it was inappropriate earlier; he didn’t expect this little girl to think so much.

Xin Xiaoxiao pouted and nodded, "Yeah, it’s just a piece of cake, but if you didn’t want to rekindle anything with her, you should definitely let me eat it in front of her to completely crush her hopes."

She looked as if she really cared and wanted to protect that cake, isn’t that giving someone hope?

Xiang Yiqing frowned, "You think she wants to rekindle something with me?"

Xin Xiaoxiao looked up at him with an exasperated expression.

After a good half minute, she finally said, "Only a blockhead like you can’t see it. She’s single without a boyfriend, gave up her opportunities abroad to come back and develop her career here, just happened to join your hospital, conveniently in the same department as you, and even sharing the same consultation room, facing you, a single eligible bachelor, you think she wouldn’t have any thoughts?"

She challenged Xiang Yiqing with a raised eyebrow, then pointed at the cake in his hand and asked, "Do you know how long the queue usually is for this mousse cake?"

Xiang Yiqing blinked, clearly not knowing.

Xin Xiaoxiao said, "Even half an hour is considered short."

Saying that, she continued walking forward.

As she walked, she said, "If it wasn’t for someone I like, I wouldn’t even stand in line for a minute to buy something, so only a fool would believe she has no thoughts about you, anyway, I don’t believe it."

She analyzed it as if it made a lot of sense...

Xiang Yiqing looked at Xin Xiaoxiao, contemplating her words when suddenly Xin Xiaoxiao turned around, expressionless, and said to him, "If it were me, I’d already have stripped you naked and jumped you."

After saying that, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Xiang Yiqing: "..."

He darkened, reached out, and lightly tapped Xin Xiaoxiao’s forehead a few times, "Can you not think about something serious for even a moment?"

Xin Xiaoxiao cheekily stuck out her tongue at him, "The most serious thing I think about every day is you."

As she said this, her expression suddenly became serious.

Xiang Yiqing was momentarily stunned, then raised an eyebrow, "I’m not eating the pickled fish anymore."

Xin Xiaoxiao immediately reverted to her playful demeanor, wrapping her arms around Xiang Yiqing’s arm, "Eat, eat, eat."

Used to her unabashed behavior, Xiang Yiqing let her hold his arm without resisting.

"Why don’t we swear an oath of brotherhood?" Xin Xiaoxiao, impulsive as ever, suddenly suggested they swear an oath.

She said, "In the future, when I get married, and you rekindle with your ex, it wouldn’t be good for a married woman like me to frequently have meals with a married man like you, but if we swear an oath as brother and sister, we’d have a legitimate reason."
