Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 123: "Sister, I Miss You So Much

Xie Qingci was still holding a pack of small bagged snacks.

Seeing her glance over, He Mingjie came out to explain: "Doesn’t he have a lot of points? So he used them to forcibly exchange for five bags of snacks. Do you want some?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Xie Qingci had already opened a bag and handed it to her.

Yu Xia accepted it with a smile.

"Thanks, little brother. I was just worried about watching a show without any melon seeds to crack; having some snacks is pretty nice."

Xie Qingci smiled: "No problem, Sister Yu Xia, just call me when you finish them."

She opened the bag, stuck her index finger inside, and a snack perched on her fingertip like a hat. She brought it to her mouth and bit into it, crispy and fragrant, perfect for watching a show.

Nearby were a few low stone pillars, just right for sitting.

Xie Qingci glanced at her, and after politely exchanging places with several others, ended up sitting next to her.

Yu Xia was focused on munching the snacks, awaiting the gossip to begin.

Performing the story today were two brothers, one with a piece of paper labeled "man" on his back, and the other wearing a pink cardigan.

The cardigan was so tight it threatened to pop its buttons.

In her mind, she named the two "Black-Pants Man" and "Pink Lady" for now.

Black-Pants Man gently took Pink Lady’s hand, and they walked sweetly for a couple of steps before a phone suddenly rang.

Black-Pants Man’s face stiffened; he said a couple of sweet words to Pink Lady, then walked aside to take the call, opening with, "Stop pestering me!"

Pink Lady tiptoed to eavesdrop. Upon hearing that, she widened her eyes and stormed over angrily.

"Who are you talking to?!"

The angry woman’s shout shook the man into a stupor, and he hurriedly hung up the phone in a fluster in the next second.

She snatched the phone decisively, angrily poked at the call history, seemingly wanting to poke a hole right through with one finger.

"Let me see which shameless little hussy has bewitched you! You shameless thing, finally going out with me once, and still... Oh, it’s your sister! My dear, really, it’s your sister calling; why didn’t you tell me~"

Yu Xia’s eyes lit up.

Wow, this sister is definitely up to something!

Black-Pants Man laughed dryly and seized the chance to retrieve his phone and pocket it.

"It’s not your fault, you shouted at me for no reason, scaring me, my dear. Don’t overthink it. You’re the only one in my heart; there’s no chance for any hussy."

Pink Lady giggled and playfully punched his chest.

"You’re so annoying~ Why did your sister call you? Why did you answer behind my back?"

Black-Pants Man crafted a lie effortlessly: "I wanted to surprise you; it’s a plan I discussed with my sister."

"What surprise?"

"Oh, dear, if I told you, it wouldn’t be a surprise anymore; don’t worry, it will definitely satisfy you!"

Just as he finished speaking, the phone in his pocket rang again. He smiled at Pink Lady and walked aside to take the call.

"I told you to stop pestering me! I know I’m great, but if you don’t want a pleasant separation, that’s your fault. If you really want to say something, I’ll come over tonight and... What?! You’re nearby?!"

He raised his head and looked around; Yu Xia and the others followed suit and looked around.

Then, someone actually emerged from around the corner.

A brother wearing a bright red cardigan, originally a slim figure, now awkwardly bulky due to the tight-fitting cardigan.

Let’s call him Big Red Sister for now.

Big Red Sister rushed forward and grabbed Black-Pants Man’s arm, affectionately calling out, "Chu Nan~"

He Mingjie: "Pfft—cough, cough, cough!"

Yu Xia had just picked up another snack and turned to He Mingjie, teasing him: "He, don’t get too excited."

The brother playing Chu Nan struggled not to laugh, withdrew his hand in slight panic: "Sis, what are you doing?"

Pink Lady affected her voice and cried out too: "Sis is here! Sis, I’ve missed you."

Yu Xia: "Pfft—cough, cough, cough!"

Xie Qingci’s expression stiffened momentarily.

He Mingjie turned and asked her: "Why are you getting so excited?"

"Eating, eating snacks, almost choked." Coughing to the point of tears, she dared not look at Xie Qingci, listening to Pink Lady calling "sister" repeatedly, unsure whether to laugh or feel embarrassed.

Fortunately, no one else seemed affected by those words, and Xie Qingci didn’t take advantage of the situation either. She quickly wiped the corners of her eyes and continued watching the show.

The two "girls" exchanged warm greetings while Big Red Sister clung to Chu Nan’s arm throughout.

Pink Lady didn’t talk for long before sensing something was off, grabbing his other arm, she wobbled and said, "Sis, where’s brother-in-law?"

Big Red Sister paused before responding: "Oh, he’s working. Not everyone finds a rich second-generation like you, so they don’t need to work."

Pink Lady suddenly felt wronged: "Sis, it’s not that I don’t work, it’s that Chu Nan won’t let me over-exert."

Big Red Sister looked displeased, then shook Chu Nan’s arm, speaking in a high-pitched voice: "Brother, can you support sis too? I’m less expensive than her. Come on, brother."

The final "brother" sounded like a threat; Black-Pants Man nodded reluctantly.

Pink Lady grew upset, tears flowing immediately.

"Are you annoyed at my spending?"

"I’m not..."

Big Red Sister jumped in: "Of course he’s annoyed at your spending, using him at such a young age!"

Pink Lady was deeply hurt, ready to faint, looking at Black-Pants Man: "Tell me, is that really what you think? Tell me! Were all those promises lies?! Where are your vows?!"

Black-Pants Man was overwhelmed.

"I don’t think that way, don’t listen to her... Hey! Hong Fen! Don’t go!"

He rushed to chase but was grabbed by Big Red Sister.

"Why chase? I’m still here. Now’s good timing. Come on, you neglected me all day; she’s too dumb to notice anything; what are you afraid of, a kiss~"

Big Red Sister’s hand pressed against Chu Nan’s head, and as they were about to kiss, Yu Xia’s eyes widened.

Then Pink Lady ran back.

"Aaaah! What are you doing?!"

There, didn’t kiss.

Chu Nan gasped in shock: "Dear, let me explain!"

"I don’t want to hear, don’t want to hear, don’t want to hear!" Pink Lady, eyes red, looked at them, "You, you... You’re doing LL!"

Big Red Sister didn’t care, just as she was about to speak, another person ran up.

"Hey, Chu Nan, so there you are? Geez, no wonder you’re not coming home to hang with us, two beauties with you instead."

Pink Lady turned quickly: "What are you saying? Isn’t this big red ghoul his sister?"

The friend said: "Huh? He’s an only child, no sister."

The two people belatedly looked at Chu Nan’s Big Red Sister still hugging him, and after the shock came piercing cries.

"Chu Nan! I want your lives, you shameless!"

The voice was so piercing that Yu Xia flinched, biting deep into the snack, grazing a fingertip, which hurt a bit.

"Ouch—"

Xie Qingci glanced at her extended fingertip, eyes flickering slightly.
