I Love Her Because She’s Dim-Witted And Filthy Rich - Chapter 20

Su Miao’s shout was truly a bit too loud, drawing curious glances from several surrounding tables of diners.

Lan Hongxin felt a bit awkward. He had only cracked a joke; was it really necessary for Su Miao to have such a big reaction? Furthermore, Su Miao was usually so quiet—why had she suddenly started shouting like this? It was simply inexplicable!

However, since he needed a favor from her and was hoping to get on her good terms, Lan Hongxin said with a smile, “I’m joking, just joking! Su Miao, and Sister Bainian, don’t mind me, alright?”

Duan Bainian gave a small smile but didn’t say a word. It was impossible to tell if she was happy or upset.

Su Miao, however, took it for granted that Duan Bainian was unhappy, and believed that this unhappiness was caused by Lan Hongxin’s senseless joke.

She curled her lip. “The two of us are finished eating. We have things to do back at the hotel, so we’re leaving now.”

Having said that, she reached out to pull Duan Bainian along, but her hand met empty air.

Su Miao asked in surprise, “What’s wrong?”

Duan Bainian stood up on her own and walked out from the other side. “Didn’t you say we’re going back? Let’s go.”

Su Miao followed at a light jog. She peeked secretly at Duan Bainian; the other woman looked perfectly calm, revealing nothing at all.

Yet, Su Miao still sensed that Duan Bainian was angry. She even began to vaguely suspect that it was she who had made Duan Bainian angry.

But that was impossible! She had just gone out of her way to defend Duan Bainian! Usually, she never talked back to anyone, and if it hadn’t been for Lan Hongxin talking nonsense about Duan Bainian, she would never have snapped at him.

After thinking it over, Su Miao decided that Lan Hongxin must have been the one to anger Duan Bainian. It definitely wasn’t her!

At this thought, Su Miao caught up and adopted the air of a devoted best friend, trying her best to offer comfort. “Oh, Duan Bainian, that Lan Hongxin speaks without thinking. Don’t be angry anymore! How do you look anything like a lesbian? He was just talking pure nonsense!”

Duan Bainian: “…”

When Duan Bainian was silent, she wasn’t gentle at all, which terrified Su Miao.

Could it be that Duan Bainian misunderstood and thought she was the lesbian? Was that why she was trying to keep her distance right now?

At this thought, Su Miao grew anxious. “Ah, Duan Bainian! You don’t think I’m a lesbian, do you?! Don’t misunderstand! I’m not, so you don’t have to stay so far away from me!”

Duan Bainian felt a surge of nameless fire. Yes, yes, yes—you aren’t a lesbian, I am! Is that okay?!

Seeing that Duan Bainian’s expression was looking worse and worse, Su Miao was desperate to please her. As they passed a boutique, Su Miao boldly reached out to grab Duan Bainian. “Hehe, I see a really pretty dress in there. Let’s go try on clothes, I’ll buy it for you.”

Duan Bainian was completely exasperated. Communication with this idiot was impossible! At a time like this, she actually wanted to drag her to buy clothes?

She yanked her hand away. “I’m not going. Go by yourself.”

Su Miao stubbornly clung to her again. “Why won’t you buy it? Look at that red dress inside; you would definitely look beautiful in it!”

Duan Bainian suppressed her anger. “I’ve gained weight recently, okay?”

Su Miao looked at Duan Bainian skeptically, then reached out to wrap her arms around Duan Bainian’s waist, even giving it a few squeezes. “You haven’t gained weight, you’re quite thin!”

Duan Bainian hit her limit and slapped away the hands that were fumbling around her waist. “Are you going back or not? If not, I’m going back by myself.”

Unable to win against Duan Bainian, Su Miao obediently followed behind her back to the hotel.

When they entered, Guan Jing was mopping the floor. He greeted them warmly, but upon noticing the strange atmosphere, he quickly shut his mouth.

A moment later, Guan Jing saw Su Miao come out with a cup, seriously preparing some powdered milk.

Seeing Su Miao’s face full of worry, Guan Jing laughed. “What happened now?”

Su Miao replied, “I seem to have made Duan Bainian unhappy.”

Guan Jing asked in surprise, “How did you upset her again? Didn’t you just upset her two days ago?”

Su Miao scratched her head. “Huh? Is it really that frequent?”

Guan Jing: “…What do you think?”

Su Miao couldn’t help but sigh. Duan Bainian was becoming less and less gentle. At least last time she knew why she was angry; this time, she didn’t even know the reason.

Once the milk was ready, she returned to the room and held it out to Duan Bainian, attempting to curry favor. “Drink some milk!”

Duan Bainian turned her body slightly, looking at her phone, neither taking the milk nor saying a word.

Su Miao grew anxious. “Don’t you usually want to drink milk?”

Duan Bainian said coldly, “Take it away.”

Su Miao said aggrievedly, “Why are you angry? Just say it! I can’t guess!”

Duan Bainian was speechless.

What was she supposed to say? Should she say, ‘Your best friend is a lesbian, and she has designs on you’?

She suddenly realized that her anger was merely a frustration with her own helplessness; it had absolutely nothing to do with this fool, Su Miao.

Duan Bainian suppressed the irritability in her heart and reached out to take the milk. “It’s late. You should go to sleep early.”

Su Miao hesitated. “But you still seem unhappy. If… if you’re unhappy, I’ll feel like something is weighing on my mind, and I won’t be able to sleep.”

Duan Bainian gave a self-mocking laugh. “My unhappiness has nothing to do with you. Why wouldn’t you be able to sleep?”

Su Miao retorted, “How could it have nothing to do with me? You are my only friend! Besides my mom, you are the most important person to me! We have to help and support each other for the rest of our lives!”

Duan Bainian said, “In the future, you will get married, you will have a husband and children, and they will all be more important than me. By then, you’ll have long forgotten me.”

Su Miao thought about it and said, “Then I won’t get married. If I meet another person like the Class Monitor, it would be truly rotten luck. I think having my mom and you is enough. Sigh… I just don’t know if you will get married. If you get married, there will be no one to keep me company.”

Looking at the serious Su Miao, Duan Bainian was stunned.

So, the little idiot would actually say something like not getting married?

While lost in thought, she heard Su Miao press further, “Oh, Duan Bainian, you haven’t said—will you get married in the future?”

Duan Bainian snapped back to reality. “I probably won’t get married.”

Su Miao cheered, “Really! That’s great! That way, you can stay with me forever!”

Duan Bainian froze for a moment, then followed with a smile. “Of course I will stay with you forever.”
