Chapter 260: Chapter 188: Xiao San and Xiao Si

"Chen Xiao?"

Wavy, long hair, a black wool coat, and underneath, a short skirt revealing a pair of pale, long legs—so white they were almost blinding.

Wasn’t she afraid of getting arthritis in this weather? Still, it was a real treat for the eyes.

Chen Xiao thought for a moment. Right, she was Xu Wu’s best friend. They’d had a meal together once. A few days ago, he’d run into her again when he was eating with Li Guoqiang and the others at Bailu Manor.

Including today, this was already their third time meeting.

"Gao Yue?"

"Hee hee, that’s me! Why didn’t you go look for Xu Wu?"

Gao Yue plopped down in the seat across from him and asked in a familiar tone.

Chen Xiao smiled. "I just came from her office."

Gao Yue pouted. "No wonder Miss Xu had no time to see me this afternoon. She’s too busy with work, and when she finally gets a moment to spare, she has to spend it with her boyfriend!"

She wasn’t really angry, just joking around.

Given Xu Wu’s current position, she was always in meetings, so this wasn’t the first time Gao Yue had come by and failed to see her. She was already used to it.

"Are you alone?"

Chen Xiao saw that she had sat right down across from him, so she probably wasn’t with a friend.

"Yep. Miss Xu is busy, so I just came over here to sit for a bit by myself."

"Then you should order something."

’I actually wanted some quiet time alone,’ Chen Xiao thought, ’but she’s already sitting across from me. It would be rude to shoo her away.’

This coffee shop was a bit pricey, so the average salaried worker rarely came here.

As Chen Xiao was telling her to order, he caught sight of a familiar face out of the corner of his eye.

Xia Bin!

He was with a beautiful woman who carried herself with great elegance. They looked like a perfect couple, drawing the gazes of many people.

The woman looked to be about the same age as Gao Yue. One glance and you could tell she came from a good family. Furthermore, she probably held a management position, as she carried a faint air of authority.

Chen Xiao was sitting by the window, a spot that all incoming customers would naturally want. It was inevitable that they would glance in this direction.

And so, Xia Bin spotted Chen Xiao as well.

He said something to the woman beside him, and she nodded. Then, Xia Bin started walking toward Chen Xiao.

"We meet again."

Chen Xiao was speechless. ’Why is it that I’ve screwed you over a thousand times, yet you still treat me like your first love?’

’Am I really that attractive to you?’

But he soon realized he had misunderstood. It wasn’t that he was attractive; it was that they wanted his seat.

"Skipping work at this hour to have tea with a pretty lady?"

Chen Xiao’s patience wore thin. "None of your damn business!"

Xia Bin’s expression immediately soured. He hadn’t expected the kid to be so disrespectful.

This was the first time Gao Yue had seen Chen Xiao get angry. She couldn’t help but glance back at Xia Bin—a stranger—before turning her head forward again.

After snapping at him, Chen Xiao didn’t even bother to look at him again. Xia Bin was left standing there awkwardly, thinking about how he had just told Lin Ya he was coming over to ask Chen Xiao if they could switch seats.

What a slap in the face.

According to his original line of thinking, the other party would know he was the owner of Four Seasons Clothing, and since they were both in the retail industry, he would surely be shown some respect. Who knew it would go wrong from the very first sentence?

He could only brazenly say, "We’re all out and about, it’s rare to make a new friend. Why be so hot-headed? Let’s discuss it, how about we switch seats?"

"See that beautiful woman over there? That’s President Lin from Tianlong Square. You’ve surely heard of her, right? I can introduce you in a bit."

Chen Xiao looked at him like he was an idiot. "Not switching. And I have no interest in meeting her."

’What’s the point of meeting her? Once Tianlong Square is acquired, she’ll either be a stranger or a subordinate. Why would I need to meet her?’

Gao Yue giggled from the side and turned back to Xia Bin. "Hey handsome, the man already has a girlfriend. You shouldn’t be playing matchmaker."

She wasn’t the least bit impressed when she heard Xia Bin offer to introduce President Lin of Tianlong Square to Chen Xiao. After all, no matter how important President Lin was, could she possibly be more important than President Xu?

She had just glanced back and seen her. In terms of looks, elegance, and figure, that woman was outstanding, even a cut above herself.

But compared to Xu Wu, Gao Yue felt she was at least a tier below, in terms of both looks and status.

She was teasing Xia Bin, her meaning clear: Chen Xiao already had Xu Wu, so he shouldn’t be randomly introducing him to other beautiful women.

But she didn’t realize this comment would infuriate Xia Bin. He was an extremely confident and chauvinistic man. He would definitely not let it slide if someone joked about his fiancée.

"Playing matchmaker? Is he even worthy?"

Before Chen Xiao could even react to those words, Gao Yue was already displeased. ’This is Miss Xu’s boyfriend we’re talking about! A man good enough for Miss Xu isn’t worthy of your so-called President Lin?’

"If he’s not worthy, are you?"

Xia Bin said arrogantly, "She’s my fiancée. You tell me if I’m worthy or not."

Gao Yue pursed her lips. "Oh, so she’s your fiancée? What a shame."

Xia Bin said angrily, "A shame about what?"

Gao Yue said, "Otherwise, we could have introduced her to him to be his Xiao Si."

Xiao Si? Chen Xiao and Xia Bin were both speechless, not understanding what she meant for a moment.

Then they heard her continue, "I’m over here, groveling and dying to be his number three. If your fiancée were introduced to him, wouldn’t she have to get in line behind me?"

Holy shit, so she meant number three and number four. Xia Bin was half-dead from rage.

Chen Xiao had been about to slap Xia Bin, but after Gao Yue’s little performance, he wasn’t angry anymore. Because Xia Bin was about to explode with rage.

He knew Gao Yue had deliberately mentioned queuing up to be number three as a setup to call Xia Bin’s fiancée a "number four."

If Gao Yue weren’t a woman, Xia Bin probably would have already gone up and started throwing punches.

He was helpless against Gao Yue, so he could only turn his spearhead back toward Chen Xiao.

He roared, "You must be blind to want to be a mistress for this kind of person! With his social status, the best he can do is find some village woman to make do with!"
