Rosiley was joking. After she spoke, she lowered her head to sip on her soup and didn’t notice that Xiaoxiao’s expression had changed once she heard what she said.
Xiaoxiao thought about it with twisted brows before asking, “Rosiley, who do you think he will bring?”
“Huh?” Rosiley raised her head and saw her friend’s solemn expression. Having reacted to what was happening, she found it amusing. “Xiaoxiao, don’t tell me that you are concerned that Corey will be bringing a female partner?”
“I am indeed concerned.” Ying Xiaoxiao was straightforward.
Rosiley could not help smiling. “Xiaoxiao, you’re just pretending to be his girlfriend. You have no right to object to him or to be concerned about who he is bringing to the dinner.”
“But I like him.”
That was a simple and strong reason.
Rosiley smiled and shook her head. “Xiao, I know that you like him. However, other than that contract, both of you are single. Corey can bring anyone he wants, and it will be all right, do you understand?”
Her words made Ying Xiaoxiao uncomfortable as her expression turned cold. “Rosiley, are you still my best friend?”
“Of course.” Rosiley nodded her head.
“Then, why do you keep speaking up for Corey?” She realized that every sentence her friend spoke was from Corey’s point of view, making her unhappy.
Rosiley’s brows raised in surprise. “I wasn’t speaking up for him. I was merely being objective.”
To be honest, when Corey didn’t make his intentions clear, she wished that Xiaoxiao could stay away from this relationship. Otherwise, if Corey started dating someone else, Xiaoxiao would be unable to handle it.
since she worried that such an issue might happen, she decided to be a clear-headed and rational person and remind Xiaoxiao’s confused-by-love brain.
Ying Xiaoxiao bit her lips as she stared at her friend with dissatisfied eyes.
In the end, she still didn’t listen to her advice.
Rosiley sighed and smiled helplessly. “Xiaoxiao, I know you like Corey. However, this is a one-way street, for Corey doesn’t appear to like you yet. Hence, you need to endure it and take whatever he does as if he is single. Regardless of which girl he flirts with, he is free to do so, and you have no right to interfere.”
That sentence pissed off Ying Xiaoxiao. “What do you mean I have no right to interfere? I don’t like the fact that he’s so close to other girls.”
Right, as the domineering and individualistic Ying Xiaoxiao, she could only allow the man she liked to like her. Furthermore, he could only love her alone and must not have other girls.
“Are you his girlfriend?” Rosiley asked gently as she stared at her with a cold gaze.
“I…” Ying Xiaoxiao turned her head away and bit her lips unwillingly.
This time, she could not answer her question. Rosiley pursed her lips and suggested thoughtfully, “Xiaoxiao, if you start to interfere in Corey’s personal life with no status, he will just think that you are annoying. Hence, it’s best for you to keep a distance from him and to give him space.”
Ying Xiaoxiao didn’t reply.
Rosiley smiled and continued, “since you like him, you should be smarter and tend to his needs. Allow him to think that you are a great girl so that he will slowly fall in love with you.”
At this point in time, Ying Xiaoxiao sighed and said in a depressed tone, “But how could I know if he will fall in love with me?”
“Xiaoxiao, you think he can’t tell?”
Ying Xiaoxiao raised her head to see that her friend’s brows twitched as she smiled thoughtfully.
“Does Rosiley mean that Corey actually knows that I like him?”
…
“Did you say that you are going to accompany Xiaoxiao to the Ying manor tonight?” Morphy lifted up her head to look at the man sitting on the sofa in shock.
