### Chapter 118: Dopey Little Ning
This time, Jiang Kekai didn’t hide anything from Xia Yu. But before answering, she couldn’t help but tap Xia Yu’s tiny forehead: “I knew you’d forget to tell me right away, that’s why I asked your father earlier.”
After saying this, Jiang Kekai boldly walked over and sat on the sofa, playfully patting her thigh: “Sit here, Xia Yu. Oh, by the way, what about your parents? They haven’t come back from work yet?”
Xia Yu: “…”
Even though Jiang Kekai had hinted for Xia Yu to sit on her lap, Xia Yu really couldn’t bring himself to do it. After all, Jiang Kekai was a young lady, and he couldn’t be disrespectful.
So, Xia Yu just nervously sat beside her and answered: “They went out to work and won’t be back until tonight.”
“Is that so?” Jiang Kekai nodded, “Busy, huh? Since they’re so busy, how about I take you out for some fun tonight?”
“This… doesn’t seem like a good idea? My mom and dad said they would take me and Xiao Ling shopping tonight.”
“No worries, I can come along with you,” Jiang Kekai said nonchalantly.
“But what about your parents? Won’t they worry about you being out late?”
Indeed, Xia Yu remembered that it took over two hours to get from Demon City to Peng City. If Jiang Kekai accompanied them to the shopping mall, they’d definitely be back home very late.
Just at that moment, Jiang Kekai’s phone rang from inside her bag.
Jiang Kekai wasn’t surprised at all. She knew that Zhao Wei must have spent a lot of money to buy a house, which Jiang Bin couldn’t possibly keep hidden. She had been waiting for this call all along.
Jiang Kekai calmly retrieved her phone, checked the caller ID, and it was indeed “Dad.”
She pressed the green answer key and spoke lazily, “Dad.”
“Daughter, what did you buy just now that cost so much money?”
“Not much, I just bought a place near Xia Yu’s house for when I visit him in the future.”
“So you’re at Xia Yu’s place now?”
“Yeah, it’s boring at my place so I came over to see Xia Yu.”
“Alright, be careful.”
“Okay, bye-bye.”
With a lazy sigh, Jiang Kekai leaned provocatively against Xia Yu and wrapped an arm around his neck.
Xia Yu felt somehow restricted and couldn’t resist Jiang Kekai’s boldness.
Snap!
Hearing the noise from outside, Xia Ling immediately rushed out from the bathroom yelling, “I knew it was you! Let go of my sister!”
“No.”
Seeing Xia Ling’s urgency, Jiang Kekai teased even more, holding Xia Yu tighter and grinning mischievously.
“Y-You! Why are you stealing my sister?”
Xia Ling was truly anxious, disregarding her still-damp hair, she charged between the two, trying to separate them.
Xia Ling wasn’t stupid; Jiang Kekai’s persistence in pursuing Xia Yu made her feel genuinely threatened. Before, Xia Ling might have comforted herself with the thought that Jiang Kekai wouldn’t often come around, but now, she found herself helpless.
Jiang Kekai joyfully held Xia Yu and showed no signs of letting go. She even taunted Xia Ling cheekily, “So what if I took Xia Yu? Got a problem? Go ahead and take him back then.”
“Y-You…”
Xia Ling was utterly exasperated, especially seeing as Xia Yu wasn’t resisting, allowing Jiang Kekai to hold on tight, which put Xia Ling in a tough spot.
At that moment, the door unlocked with a clink.
As expected, Xia Hong and Wang Wenjuan walked in and saw Jiang Kekai, the young lady, playing around again.
When they noticed that Jiang Kekai was practically hugging their son, Xia Hong and Wang Wenjuan were speechless, thinking maybe their son was just irresistible.
Ignoring the disbelief, Xia Hong decided to handle the situation gracefully, “We’re going out tonight to dine and shop. Would you like to join us, Miss Jiang?”
“Uncle Xia, don’t be so formal. Call me Xia Ning. I’m here today just to play with Xia Yu. Wherever Xia Yu goes, I go.”
Upon finishing, Jiang Kekai flashed Xia Ling, knowing Xia Ling’s confidence would crumble once their folks arrived.
Xia Ling was annoyed but restrained herself from doing anything rash given her parents’ presence and Jiang Kekai’s status.
This truly distressed Xia Ling—how could someone be so audacious as Jiang Kekai?
Xia Hong saw the interaction but said nothing, merely reminding Xia Yu and Xia Ling, “Get your shoes on, we’re off to eat. We have a lot to buy tonight.”
Obediently, Xia Yu and Xia Ling returned to their rooms to change their shoes.
Of course, Jiang Kekai followed Xia Yu into the room, her curiosity piqued.
Seeing Jiang Kekai following Xia Yu, Wang Wenjuan whispered to Xia Hong, “Husband, do you think this young lady is actually interested in our Xia Yu?”
“What if she is? She’s a young lady, and Jiang Bin probably insists on a match suitable in status. He definitely won’t let his daughter suffer.”
“But I’ve seen her show affection for Xia Yu.”
“So what? Maybe she just wants to play?”
Jiang Kekai realized something was off but shrugged it off. Xia Yu’s room was still sparse.
Jiang Kekai thought it made sense since Xia Hong had just moved in yesterday. Today being empty was to be expected.
And Xia Hong had said they would buy lots of stuff today. This was just the chance Jiang Kekai needed to buy Xia Yu something nice for his room.
Jiang Kekai had fallen for Xia Yu, or rather, instantly taken a liking to him. She didn’t want Xia Yu to feel bad anywhere.
Xia Yu walked slowly to his bed, attempting to grab his sneakers under the bed. Suddenly, a dizzy spell overwhelmed him, making his vision blur and causing him to break out in cold sweat.
This sensation…felt familiar…
Alert Jiang Kekai was quick to react, rushing over to help Xia Yu sit up on the bed: “Xia Yu, what happened?”
Sitting up straight, Xia Yu felt somewhat better, but her eyes were still closed, brows furrowed in discomfort.
At that moment, Jiang Kekai wanted to ask Xia Hong and Wang Wenjuan what was going on. Xia Yu only left for a day, and now look at her like this.
But Jiang Kekai felt it wouldn’t be wise to leave, so she stayed, silently waiting with Xia Yu until she recovered.
Not long after, Xia Yu’s face eased as she finally spoke, answering Jiang Kekai: “It’s fine, just a sudden dizzy spell.”
“Dizzy? Could it be a fever?”
Jiang Kekai gently felt Xia Yu’s forehead with her own forehead, more trusting it than her hands.
This caught Xia Yu off guard again, blushing madly.
Flustered? Only Xia Yu felt this way. Jiang Kekai remained unfazed. Even after stepping back, she remained composed: “No fever. Tell me the truth, Xia Yu. If not, I’ll take you to the hospital for a checkup.”
Right, Jiang Kekai looked serious. If Xia Yu didn’t say, she wouldn’t give up easily.
Plus, she didn’t mind a little expense.
Seeing Jiang Kekai’s determined gaze, Xia Yu secretly sighed and revealed everything: “It’s a mild concussion…from yesterday.”
“A mild concussion? How did it happen? Did you get it checked?”
Understanding the seriousness of Xia Yu’s injury, Jiang Kekai felt more worried. Why hadn’t Xia Yu told her?
Xia Yu, knowing Jiang Kekai’s temper, confessed everything, including going to the hospital for a checkup.
Listening attentively, Jiang Kekai relaxed, then rubbed Xia Yu’s head and teased, “Next time, if anything like this happens, use your phone to inform me right away.”
“Eh? Okay.”
Xia Yu, a bit flustered, agreed hesitantly.
Jiang Kekai smiled, pinching Xia Yu’s cheeks: “Good girl, I like obedient children.”
Then, she squatted down to help Xia Yu put on her shoes, because Xia Yu couldn’t bend down to do it alone. Jiang Kekai took on this task willingly.
Without knowing how to stop Jiang Kekai, Xia Yu had no choice but to let her.
After putting the shoe on, Jiang Kekai eagerly picked up her phone to plan revenge for Xia Yu, anyone who dared hurt her newfound interest clearly had a d*ath wish.
