Chapter 196: Challenging Jiajia
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shen Yijia was thinking that she could not let him be traumatized by the kiss from before. Otherwise, he would not kiss her again.
The best way to overcome the trauma was to face the ‘difficulties’.
Song Jingchen was speechless.
The fact that he thought she didn’t know anything… It was indeed an illusion.
Seeing that he did not move, Shen Yijia complained, “You lied to me!”
“I didn’t…”
“Then I’ll kiss you.” As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Yijia leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
“We’re even now. Don’t be embarrassed.”
Song Jingchen blushed. What kind of logic was this?
“You guys…”
A familiar tone sounded. Furball, Song Jingchen, and Shen Yijia looked at the courtyard door in unison and saw three people standing there.
The red-faced Madam Li, the embarrassed Fan Mingyuan, and the angry Xiao Ruoshui.
Shen Yijia ignored two of them. She stood up and smiled at Madam Li. “Mother, why are you back?”
Madam Li was usually in the workshop at this time.
Madam Li’s lips twitched. “Zixiu and Ruoshui said that they were here to visit you. You guys chat. I still have something to do at the workshop.”
After saying that, she glanced at Song Jingchen reproachfully, thinking to herself that Sister Jia was fooling around. He didn’t stop her from doing this in broad daylight.
The corners of Song Jingchen’s mouth twitched, indicating that he was innocent.
The few of them did not speak. After Madam Li left, Xiao Ruoshui glared at Shen Yijia angrily and walked towards her.
Shen Yijia rolled her eyes. He kissed her husband, not anyone else. Where did this anger come from?
“Little Furball!” Song Jingchen suddenly said.
Furball immediately stood up and walked towards Xiao Ruoshui.
Fan Mingyuan’s pupils constricted, even though he believed that Song Jingchen wouldn’t hurt others casually.
He took a few steps forward and stood in front of the pale Xiao Ruoshui.
Furball didn’t do anything. It just circled around their feet.
Occasionally, its tail would wag. Every time it touched Xiao Ruoshui, the latter would tremble.
When Shen Yijia saw her terrified expression, she snorted.
“You-” Xiao Ruoshui bit her lower lip and said,” She looked at Song Jingchen pitifully. “Brother Chen…”
“Tell me why you’re here today. Go back after you’re done,” Song Jingchen interrupted her without even looking at her.
“Song Jingchen.” Fan Mingyuan couldn’t stand seeing Xiao Ruoshui travel from afar just to get treated like this. He said angrily, “No matter what, we grew up together. Don’t you care about our past relationship at all?”
A mocking smile appeared on Song Jingchen’s lips. Without waiting for him to speak, Xiao Ruoshui panicked. She didn’t want Brother Yuan and Brother Chen to quarrel at all.
He turned to look at Shen Yijia and pointed at her. “I want to challenge you. If I win, leave Brother Chen and stop pestering him.”
Her words were fierce, but she did not dare to move at all, since Furball was already crawling at her feet and staring at her.
As soon as she said this, Fan Mingyuan thought to himself, “This is bad.”
Sure enough, before Shen Yijia could react, Song Jingchen’s face turned cold.
Fan Mingyuan, who knew him well, knew that he was really angry. He tugged at Xiao Ruoshui’s sleeve and explained, “Ruoshui said the wrong thing. Don’t lower yourself to her level.”
Shen Yijia rolled her eyes and looked at Xiao Ruoshui as if she was looking at an idiot. “This is my husband. Why should I leave him?”
Xiao Ruoshui was also frightened by Song Jingchen’s expression, but she couldn’t take it lying down. She pretended to be calm and said, “Are you afraid?”
“Me? Afraid?” How could Shen Yijia withstand this provocation? However, she did not forget that she could not wager her marriage with her husband, even if she was confident that she would not lose.
After some thought, he said, “Let’s change the bet. If I win, you’re not allowed to look at my husband or call him Brother Chen in the future. If I lose, I’ll promise you three things, but they can’t be related to my husband.”
Shen Yijia spoke matter-of-factly. When Xiao Ruoshui heard that she had accepted the challenge, she also felt that it was unrealistic for Shen Yijia to just leave. She had to get divorced first.
She stole a glance at Song Jingchen. Seeing that he had no reaction to anyone other than Shen Yijia, she was a little angry.
This double standard was unbearable.
As long as she won, she would definitely humiliate this damn woman.
Xiao Ruoshui was afraid that Shen Yijia would go back on her word, so she quickly nodded in agreement. Thinking about how good this woman was at using a whip, she said, “To be fair, neither of us can use weapons.”
When Shen Yijia heard her words, her heart was filled with joy, but she put on a conflicted look. After a few seconds, she scratched her head and said, “Alright.”
Xiao Ruoshui thought that she had won this round, so she raised her chin proudly. “Brother Chen, she agreed to this herself. You can’t interfere with what I ask her to do after I win.”
Song Jingchen looked up at her. If not for the fact that Shen Yijia was having fun, he really wouldn’t have let her have too much contact with this person.
Shen Yijia was already silly enough. What if she became even more silly after interacting with Xiao Ruoshui?
Fan Mingyuan was also speechless. After thinking about it, he didn’t say anything in the end. He had learned from his mistakes. He hoped that they could teach Xiao Ruoshui a lesson this time.
There was no need to find another location. The two of them stood facing each other in the middle of the courtyard.
Compared to Shen Yijia’s plain clothes, Xiao Ruoshui was wearing a fiery red riding outfit today. Wherever she stood, she gave off a valiant feeling.
“Don’t go back on your word!” Xiao Ruoshui glared at Shen Yijia and reminded her.
Shen Yijia was speechless.
Was it a characteristic of the people here to say a few words before a fight?
She couldn’t be too unconventional, so she nodded solemnly. “I won’t.”
“I won’t hold back.”
Shen Yijia continued to nod. “Just don’t cry when the time comes.”
“You-” Recalling how embarrassing it was for her to cry on the streets, she thought that Shen Yijia was mocking her. She was so angry that she clenched her fists and rushed forward.
Shen Yijia was silent. “Is that it?” she thought.
Her body turned into a blur as she faced the attack.
Fan Mingyuan walked to Song Jingchen’s side worriedly and asked softly, “Young Madam won’t kill her, right?”
Song Jingchen glanced at him and said, “It’s already over.”
Fan Mingyuan was shocked. He turned around and saw that Xiao Ruoshui had been pressed to the ground by Shen Yijia.
Shen Yijia sat down on Xiao Ruoshui and asked, “Do you admit defeat?”
Xiao Ruoshui was still in a daze. She had yet to make a move, so why was it over?
Shen Yijia thought that she was unconvinced and exerted more force. Xiao Ruoshui gritted her teeth in pain and reacted at the same time.
Realizing that she was being pressed to the ground in such a shameful manner, she blushed. “I admit it. I admit it. I admit defeat.”
Shen Yijia raised her eyebrows and let go of her.
