If You Are a Dodder Flower Chapter 58 part3

In the golden autumn of October, he sat in the courtyard drinking black tea, the aroma swaying with the wind. Under the sun, he saw her resting her head on her arms while reading her script, her brow furrowing at times and a fatuous smile gracing her face at others.

Cao Yang turned his teacup and thought the weather was particularly bright today.

He had learned there were many boys chasing after Xia Rou from several international calls from Hu Xuan specifically to inform him.

“Bro, you better pay more attention to this. Or else our Xia Rou will be baited by those wolves very soon,” he said. “Look what they did! Putting heart-shaped candles in front of the dorm. How childish!

“There’s one idiot that’s the funniest. He drove a BMW all the way to the dorm entryway and placed 999 roses on top of the car. It’s too funny! He must think our Xia Rou is someone who hasn’t seen the world; seeing her as a short-sighted lady, huh?

“Just a damn BMW and he thinks he can ask Xia Rou to get in his car? I give full marks to him for being such a poser! Just wait until I get back. I’ll take out my Maserati and show him!”

“How do you know what’s going on at Xia Rou’s school so clearly?” he asked.

“Some of the juniors at Nan Hua got into Sheng Da as well. I asked one of them to keep an eye on Xia Rou for me. Who was it again? Ah, Li Qun. Li Qun’s little cousin is quite close to me. When he told me about the BMW, I almost peed myself laughing!

“Bro, could it be because our Xia Rou has been keeping a low profile, so just anyone dares to chase her now?”

“Sheng Da is not Nan Hua. It’s fine for her to reveal her background at Nan Hua, since everyone knows each other well and they know well who they should get along with,” said CaoYang indifferently.

“But it’s different in university. Most students are ordinary people. If Xia Rou is too high-profile, then she wouldn’t be able to get along well with others.”

“But…” he asked in turn, “Why are you paying such close attention?”

“Err, that… I’ll be returning in two years’ time, anyway. Bro, help me keep an eye on Xia Rou. Wait just two years and don’t let just anyone steal her away. That’ll give me the edge. Look, the two of us are so well-matched, even our family backgrounds suit each other. Our Xia Rou is pretty, too, and I’m not that bad, either…”

“Xiao Xuan ah… ” Cao Yang smirked. “How’s the taste of foreign women?”

Hu Xuan ceased abruptly. After a brief silence, he said, “Bro, there’s such a huge time difference. It’s almost time for me to attend class. I’ll chat with you again next time. I’m hanging up now, bye bye!”

Damn little kid!

Cao Yang looked at his phone and gritted his teeth.

After searching the house, he found Xia Rou in the reading room. She was lying on the large wooden table reading books. It seemed like she had been influenced by the Cao Family style, as one of her hands was holding a cup of black tea, steam drifting upwards.

“Eh? No! Who did you hear this from?” She clutched her cheeks and lifted her gaze. “You’re exaggerating!

“It’s only a few people who have gone after me,” she said.

Cao Yang wasn’t satisfied with her answer. He tapped the table lightly. “Didn’t I tell you before to report anything about love to me. Why didn’t you do so?”

How could she actually let him get this news from Hu Xuan!

Xia Rou had no energy to retort.

Ever since she entered university and began living in the dorms, Cao Yang’s image seemed to be a little off.

Before this, when she was still in high school, he would encourage her to take walks outside often, and tell her to get along with her classmates as well. He also brought her along to attend banquets so she wouldn’t be so nervous.

But in the end, after she had entered university, he suddenly became such a granny, meddling in everything.

There was one time she had prepared to return to school on a Sunday, wearing low-waisted jeans with a cropped t-shirt. She could admit that the shirt was a little short. Every time she raised her arm it would ride up a little.

But her tummy was quite good-looking. It was milky-white and flat. It should be alright to reveal it a little.

Cao Yang had lectured her soundly then, a disdainful look on his face. In the end he had bundled her up like an old aunty and sent her back to school.

Even in her past life her big brother had never done this to her before!

At this time in the past… Cao Yang should have already brought Wang Man home to meet Cao Xiong officially. The two of them should have been engaged by now and began preparations for their marriage… Indeed, at that point in time he hadn’t had much time to pay attention to her…

But right now, not even considering engagement or marriage – there wasn’t even a shadow of a proper girlfriend from him! Those women outside, no one could be certain who they even were!

Hmmph!

“Big brother!” She pinched the area between her brows. “You said to report to you if I was dating someone. But I’m not dating anyone. Others are willing to chase after me and that’s their business. It has nothing to do with me.”

Cao Yang was a little satisfied before she continued, “If you have so much time to keep an eye on my dating life, you should first find a sister-in-law to bring back home! How old are you already…”

Cao Yang: “…”

How old are you already… Translated by The Novelst

Old are you already…

Old…..

Cao Yang turned his head to the side, taking a deep breath and only barely managing to suppress the painful feeling in his liver!
