Problematic Little Sister Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 448 - Protection from women

“Those were accidents, alright! How can you compare me with Lu Hao because of that?” Although I felt sorry for accidentally taking advantage of her, it was not like I did it intentionally.

“That’s why it’s more irritating…”

“What did you say?!”

“Nothing! Now, get out of the way, you are blocking my way!” Dong Xiaoye pushed me aside and walked straight to the investment department.

I was sure that she was angry, but I didn’t understand why she was angry. Was there something wrong I said.

The thoughts of a woman are really difficult to understand.

“Cousin Dong, have you eaten yet? If you haven’t, I’ve bought an extra portion of breakfast…”

“Cousin Dong, yesterday you said you wanted to see Roman Roland’s biography of Celebrity Biography. I just collected a set and brought it to you today.”

“Cousin Dong…”

Since I walked into the investment department, I’ve constantly heard people calling Dong Xiaoye “Cousin Dong”. No one seemed to be surprised by the appearance of Dong Xiaoye, but it became the most strange thing for me.

This woman greeted everyone happily. Her gentle and graceful look was completely different from the look she had normally. For men’s enthusiastic greetings, she didn’t seem to be annoyed by it. Instead, she also greeted them with a smiling face as if she was deliberately showing off her beauty and attracting their attention…

I was accustomed to the charm of her big bright eyes under her unique single eyelids. I dared not say that I would be able to withstand the temptation if she winked at me with those eyes flirtatiously, but her pretentious act at the moment made me feel very uncomfortable. Maybe this would make her look more like a woman, but she also ruined her true beauty. What I liked about Dong Xiaoye was her dashing personality, not her sexy appearance!

Whether it was the people I knew or the people I didn’t know, all kinds of men came to strike up a conversation with Dong Xiaoye. From the elevator to the general operation team’s office, it was only thirty or forty meters, but it took us nearly twenty minutes and we still haven’t reached the general operation team’s office.

Dong Xiaoye didn’t seem to feel annoyed that she was surrounded by many men, but I was very annoyed. Unable to endure it any longer, I grabbed Dong Xiaoye’s hand, pulled her out of the group of men, and walked quickly into the general operation team’s office.

“What are you doing! Did you not see that I was talking to other people…”

“I saw it, but the way you talked to them disgusted me.” I wanted to say it with a joking tone, but when the words came out of my mouth, both my tone and my expression were very stiff.

Dong Xiaoye still maintained a disgustingly sweet smile and waved goodbye to the three men who were talking to her just now. After the three men left, she said nonchalantly: “I’m also disgusted by it, but why do you think I did this?”

“Why? Are you doing it for me?” I didn’t like Dong Xiaoye forcing herself to do something she didn’t like because of me, so I said in a deep voice, “If that’s the case, you should stop it. If you are worried that other people would question our relationship, then you don’t need to. I don’t care what other people think. There’s no need for you to force yourself to protect my image!”

“Who said that I was doing it for you?” Dong Xiaoye shook off my hand and lowered her voice as well, “I’m doing it for my work! My superior has asked me to protect you. Before I catch Xu Heng, I need a reason to go to work and get off work with you! Didn’t you also ask me just now that you are worried that you don’t know how to explain it to your colleagues?”

“Is Gong Fanlin, this reason, not enough? ”

“Not enough,” Dong Xiaoye felt very annoyed, “A small case like Gong Fanlin’s would make the police send someone over to protect you? In the eyes of some people, this kind of reaction would only be even more suspicious, right?”

“Who is this ‘some people’?”

Originally, I thought Dong Xiaoye would say ‘Xu Heng’, but she didn’t, “You know better than me how many people have their eyes on you.”

I was dazed for a moment after hearing what she said.

Seeing me and Dong Xiaoye entering the office and noticing that something didn’t seem right between us, Liusu and Ziyuan walked over.

Dong Xiaoye saw it, smiled at them, and then whispered to me: “I don’t know why you are so sure that Xu Heng will not retaliate against you, but I know that Captain Lin’s judgment is wrong. I have never suspected that you were working with Xu Heng, so putting you under police surveillance will not be able to help us catch Xu Heng. This is also the reason why I wasn’t that serious when it comes to protecting you before, but now I am serious because I don’t want to see incidents like Liu Xiaosheng or Gong Fanlin’s case happen again. This is not only the position of the police but also the position of me as a friend!”

I couldn’t help smiling bitterly, “For a friend, you don’t even want to adhere to your own principles?”

“I have no principles, just like you don’t have a good image,” Dong Xiaoye said: “Besides, I am a woman. Why do you think I don’t like being sought after by men? It’s only not normal for women not to like being sought after by men, right?”

‘You have never been a normal woman…’ This was what I thought in mind, but I dared not to say it directly to Sister Tiger, “You like it or not, I can tell it. You don’t need to lie to me…”

“As if you know me very well,” Dong Xiaoye was angry again inexplicably, “There is no woman who doesn’t like being sought after by men. Saying I don’t like it can only prove that you have never treated me as a woman!”

I didn’t want to argue with her, but saying that I didn’t treat her as a woman was clearly wrong. Feeling annoyed by her unreasonable anger, I blurted out, “If you want to be sought after by men, isn’t it enough to change your clothes and put on makeup? Why do you have to flirt with them?! ”

My voice was a little bit louder at the end. Although it would not be heard by other colleagues inside the office, Liusu and Ziyuan who had come near us could hear it clearly. The sudden change of the expressions of the two girls finally reminded me that what I said was too much.

Dong Xiaoye bit her lower lip tightly, her indifferent gaze made me unable to see what she was thinking.

“I’m sorry, what I said was a bit too much…”

Dong Xiaoye didn’t wait for me to finish speaking, she suddenly pushed me away and walked directly toward Mo Fei’s office without looking back at me.

“Nan Nan, no matter what you were arguing just now, what you said was too much!” Liusu scolded me slightly angrily. After that, she hurriedly chased after Dong Xiaoye. She decided that I was wrong without asking anything. Obviously, She knew why we were arguing just now.

Ziyuan patted me on the shoulder lightly and comforted me: “Xiao Nan, don’t be angry, Miss Dong is also doing this for you…”

Ziyuan quickly looked away after our gazes met, not daring to look into my eyes at all. I smiled bitterly and said, “You already knew it?”

“Not only do I know, but Liusu and Ms. Mo also know it as well,” Ziyuan didn’t hide it from me: “When Miss Dong arrived at the company yesterday morning, she told us about it and asked us to assist her. ..”

The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, “Assist her what? Assist her to flirt with other men?”

“Don’t say that… Actually, she is the one that feels aggrieved the most in this…”

“If she didn’t feel aggrieved, I wouldn’t be angry…” Looking at Dong Xiaoye’s back, I couldn’t help sighing helplessly.

The police would not trust anyone easily. Not letting go of any possibility is their professional habit. “Police protection” is just another word for “Police surveillance”. Regarding whether Xu Heng was working with me, there was no trust or distrust in Lin Zhi’s mind. He just established a possibility that could not be determined, so he asked Dong Xiaoye to protect me.

Instructing Dong Xiaoye to stay close to me was because of the successive accidents that happened around me. It made Lin Zhi feel that Dong Xiaoye’s surveillance work was not rigorous enough. In addition, Xu Heng has been hiding in the eastern region of the city, but the police still weren’t able to catch him, this also made Lin Zhi become more nervous, sensitive, and even a little paranoid. As a key person in Xu Heng’s case, there was nothing wrong with him paying close attention to me. However, it made Dong Xiaoye’s position become very awkward.

Dong Xiaoye trusted me and she didn’t want to ruin my peaceful life. Therefore, she must find a reason that would not raise other people’s suspicion when she came to Fengchang. Like she said, Gong Fanlin’s motive was Yang Wei and Qin Lan; so using this as an excuse was a bit far-fetched.

Yesterday, she did not come to the company as a police officer, but as a “cousin who was often looked after by me” to inquire about the progress of the case. During the time I was interrogated by Wang Jie, she was not idle either; she was chatting with male colleagues in the investment department outside the office. When she said that she was bored on her holiday, Liusu and Ziyuan, who had colluded with her, jokingly invited her to the company to play with them. Of course, some bachelors who thought they got along with Dong Xiaoye very well, also echoed. Then Dong Xiaoye ‘reluctantly’ accepted the invitation…

In the eyes of my colleagues, it would only be a high-sounding excuse to say that because Gong Fanlin has not been arrested, my safety was not guaranteed. It was Dong Xiaoye who came up with another much more reasonable and clever excuse with the help of Liusu, Ziyuan, making it impossible for Mo Fei to refuse her to come to the company to visit me.

Mo Fei was clearly working secretly with those three girls as well. Plus her ambiguous relationship with me, which was known to everyone, not only would it not raise people’s suspicion when she ‘reluctantly’ compromised, but it would also make people think that it was logical and reasonable.

All the male colleagues had ulterior motives, and all the female colleagues scoffed at Dong Xiaoye’s visit, thinking that Dong Xiaoye came to Fengchang purely to hunt for rich and attractive young guys.

Dong Xiaoye said that she didn’t want to monitor me. She just didn’t want another incident to happen again. I believed her, but it was because I believed her that I felt uncomfortable.

I didn’t like being protected by women, whether it was Dong Xiaoye or Ziyuan who was standing in front of me at this moment…
