When Rosiley and Ying Xiaoxiao came out of the bathroom, Ling Yao immediately shouted at them, “sisters-in-law, come here quickly!”
sister-in-law?!
Ying Xiaoxiao frowned. Was he talking to her?
Ruo saw her confusion and teased her with a smile. “That’s right! Ah Yao is calling you. Don’t you find it weird to get used to?”
“I’m definitely not used to it.”
“You’ll get used to it after a while.” Rosiley then dragged her towards the group of men.
They saw Corey smack Ling Yao’s head angrily and mutter. “I asked you not to call her sister-in-law and you’re still doing it! This is your punishment!”
It was obvious that he was not happy with Ling Yao calling Xiaoxiao sister-in-law, which also meant that he did not really think of her as his girlfriend.
Of course, this was understandable. After all, they were just a fake couple.
Rosiley glanced at Xiaoxiao, who clearly looked a little let-down. Then, she said loudly, “What’s wrong? Corey, is it wrong for Ah Yao to call Xiaoxiao his sister-in-law?”
Corey’s hand froze while smacking Ling Yao’s head. He turned around and looked at her. Then, the corners of his lips twitched and he explained a little awkwardly, “sister-in-law, I’m just afraid Xiaoxiao will be embarrassed. After all, we’re only dating, and we’re not married yet. It’s not appropriate for Ah Yao to call her that so early.”
“Oh?” Rosiley pulled Xiaoxiao towards them and sat down. Then, she glared at Corey with a smile. “Corey, are you saying that you don’t intend to marry Xiaoxiao?”
Her tone had a hint of sharpness as she asked the question. Not only could Corey sense it, but everyone else could, too. Her eyes were even a bit cold as she stared at him.
Corey did not know how to answer her. He and Ying Xiaoxiao were pretending to be together, but how could he possibly say it out loud here? Would that not embarrass her?
He was at a loss, but Ying Xiaoxiao spoke up for him. “Okay, Rosiley, what Corey said is also right. After all, we are not married. It’s too early to call me sister-in-law.”
She really cared about Corey.
Rosiley looked at her with a deep gaze, but Ying Xiaoxiao averted her gaze awkwardly.
“Ah Yao, you’d better call her sister-in-law from now on. Don’t listen to Corey,” Rosiley said to Ling Yao. since she wanted to help Xiaoxiao, she should start from here.
Although it was just a way to address her, it meant a lot.
“But… ” Ling Yao glanced at Corey carefully.
Corey could not keep the bitterness out of his voice. “Listen to sister-in-law.”
He could call her whatever he liked, he would not lose a piece of his flesh anyways.
Moorine Shen and Chu Yuan did not understand why he was so worked up over a formality. However, they did not ask. They just watched silently as the scene unfolded.
Meanwhile, Sachin was also watching quietly. However, his gaze betrayed a hint of thought.
Later on, the group of people goofed around until it was nearly midnight. Then, they left the club and went back to their respective homes.
On the way home, Sachin focused on driving. Meanwhile, Rosiley was still in good spirits after playing around for so long. Her beautiful eyes were wide-open as she stared at the scenery flashing past outside the window.
It was late at night, and the shops were closed. Only a few people were still on the streets. The hustle and bustle faded away, leaving behind silence and loneliness.
Sachin turned his head to glance at her. He asked, “What’s up with Corey and Xiaoxiao?”
Rosiley turned her head to look at him. After a moment of silence, she replied, “They’re being a fake couple.”
Sachin raised his brows slightly. This answer was not very surprising.
Rosiley knew that he had already guessed the true relationship between Corey and Xiaoxiao, so she continued. “Uncle Ying asked Xiaoxiao to go on a blind date, but Xiaoxiao did not want to, so she came up with this idea.”
Sachin could not help laughing. “Then she is quite clever.”
