Chapter 178: Bad Taste

“No need to be so courteous, Grandma Mu. Just call me Feiting from now on. After all, you’re an elder and Kexin and I are peers.” As the saying went, “Love me, love my dog.” Long Feiting was very protective of his beloved ones.

“Kexin? You’re acquainted with Kexin?” asked the elderly woman in surprise.

“I not only know her, but I also fell in love with her at first sight and I’m wooing her now.” Even though he had been searching for Song Xing for years, he had no intention of revealing his identity to her despite having found her. He did not want her to think that he was only pursuing her because of what had happened in their childhood or for her to recall the fatty that he once was whenever she looked at him.

Hence, he told others only that he fell in love at first sight with Mu Kexin, and he decided to woo her.

His answer left the matriarch even more surprised than ever.

In contrast to her fake reaction, Mu Dongsheng, who was clueless of the real reason, was truly astounded as he instinctively blurted, “Love at first sight for Kexin? Surely not?”

Naturally, the father knew the capabilities and worth his daughter had, so he could not fathom just how a figure like Long Feiting would fall in love with his daughter at first sight.

“It’s exactly that!” The young guy was extremely displeased with how disdainful the father was toward his daughter; hence, his harsher tone.

“You have—” Mu Dongsheng wanted to say that the chap had a bad taste in women when he received a stern glare from his mother, which scared him speechless.

“Is Kexin home?” Long Feiting made no further comments about the older man since he was Mu Kexin’s birth father.

“Yes, yes! She’s in! Come inside, please!” Matriarch Mu hastily ushered the young man inside.

As Mu Dongsheng watched the young man’s retreating figure, he felt that he was blind to even have feelings for his younger daughter.

Not long after entering the house, the grandmother signaled her granddaughter with a look before making an excuse to leave with her son.

Mu Kexin dared not to continue speaking after exchanging greetings with him, lest she shoot her mouth off.

Initially, Long Feiting thought that once he finally found the girl he had been longing for, he would be crazy for her and would want to stick to her side for the entire day. Alas, contrary to his expectations, he had no such feelings despite his declaration of pursuit. The cause of this might be because his dear Xingxing was not what he had been expecting her to be.

This was their first meeting with each other since his declaration of pursuit at her school.

He had nothing much he wanted to say to her after meeting her, though.

Still, he couldn’t let things be so awkward between them. He therefore asked, “Have you heard what happened to your sister?”

“What happened?” As she was constantly fraught with worries that Mu Huan would expose her after learning about why Long Feiting was wooing her, she had been avoiding her. Hence, she was clueless about the happenings regarding her half-sister.

“The school is going to make an example out of her and put her on probation for cheating during examination.”

“What?” Her eyes bulged wide in shock as she instinctively asserted, “That’s impossible! She wouldn’t do such a thing when she’s so good at studying!”

Even though she was very reluctant to admit it, it was a fact that her half-sister performed well academically, so she could hardly believe the news of her cheating in exams.

Having mistakenly assumed her reaction for kindness, he finally found hints of the childhood feelings he had for her. “It’s my doing.”

“Pardon?” She was baffled by his reply.

“She deserved it for bullying you in the past!” He had never wooed a girl before, so he did not know the way to do so and decided to exact revenge on her behalf first to let her know that she was under his protection.

Mu Kexin: “…”

She did not know what sort of reaction she should have after hearing that. Since it involved her half-sister, she was afraid that it would look bad on her if she rejoiced at her misfortune and would make him find her to be a bit of a white lotus if she told him not to do such a thing to her sister.
