Chapter 296: Bah! Shameless!
“Of course not.”
Chen An’s eyebrows shot up.
If she were to live with him, would he be able to sleep soundly at night?
He was afraid that as soon as he lay down in bed, another person would appear in the covers the next second.
It wasn’t that he was that resistant to intimacy with Eileen; in fact, it was the same for Luo Cong’an.
However, if things happened too hastily, he couldn’t get past that mental hurdle and felt very awkward.
Receiving the expected answer, the woman pouted and didn’t press further.
She had only asked casually. Given how the Priest had acted before, he most likely wouldn’t agree.
But it was okay.
Eileen wasn’t in a hurry; it was fine to take her time.
She had endured so long waiting in the temple, so could she really not wait for this moment?
However…
She thought again and couldn’t help but glance out the window.
The thought of that crazy woman outside inevitably gave her a sense of urgency.
Her eyes flickered, and she feigned a look of being on the verge of tears.
Her delicate hand quietly clasped the young man’s palm.
The warm touch made her feel at ease.
“Priest, I finally found you. Are you going to abandon me again?”
Hearing this, Chen An frowned.
He hadn’t quite figured out how to deal with Eileen yet.
Since she was already here, he naturally couldn’t just abandon her.
A hint of hesitation flashed across his face.
“But…”
Seeing an opportunity, Eileen quickly seized the moment and pressed her face against his hand.
Her gentle words slowly flowed.
“Priest, you don’t have to worry so much. I definitely won’t cause you any trouble.”
As she spoke, she looked up again, gazing intently at the young man.
“I did offend you a bit today, but that was only because my longing after our long reunion was difficult to suppress…”
Her tone carried a hint of helplessness, and her eyes blinked, appearing pitiable.
“Please forgive my offense, can you?”
“I promise I won’t do anything that makes you unhappy again in the future.”
Eileen said, her voice suddenly lowering.
Her posture changed from leaning on the young man to kneeling on the ground.
Her hands were still clasped tightly, her head buried in Chen An’s lap.
Her expression conveyed an unshakeable attachment.
“I just… don’t want to be separated from you again, Priest.”
Her soft voice was filled with heart-wrenching unease.
She was afraid of being separated from her Priest again.
A soft sigh echoed in the room.
Chen An bent down and cupped her cheek with his hand.
Her skin felt incredibly smooth, making him not want to let go once he touched it.
He opened his mouth, about to speak.
Suddenly, the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside, and half of the noon sunlight streamed in.
Immediately after, an extremely cold voice rang out.
“I disagree!”
Luo Cong’an burst in, her eyes fixed on the seemingly fragile woman on the ground, her gaze seeming to flicker with flames.
Judging by her appearance, she had probably been hiding behind the door, eavesdropping.
“I’m not even living with mister, so why should she?”
Luo Cong’an’s question made the young man raise his eyes slightly.
But before he could answer, another equally cold voice sounded.
“Since you said he’s your mister, what reason is there for a student to live with their mister?”
Eileen frowned, her previous fragility vanishing.
She cursed her bad luck inwardly. Just as she was about to succeed, this crazy woman had interfered again.
Luo Cong’an raised her eyebrows and glared.
“And what about you? Who do you think you are to be living with mister?”
“I, I…”
Eileen instinctively wanted to answer, but she stopped herself before she could.
Although she always called him Priest, she was stumped for a moment when it came to their actual relationship.
After all, if one were to be precise, she was merely a “Witch” that Chen An had casually saved back then.
Seeing the woman stammer, Luo Cong’an’s expression faltered slightly.
Then, she smiled.
“As expected, you’re just a big moth that flew out from who knows where, taking advantage of mister’s good temper here and acting recklessly.”
Seeing the hypocritical bad woman falter, Luo Cong’an felt an immense sense of satisfaction.
Her words, filled with a hint of mockery, fell into Eileen’s ears one by one, causing her anger to surge.
Not wanting to lose face in front of this crazy woman, she bit her lip and said loudly, “I, I am the Priest’s child bride!”
The words hung in the air, and the entire room fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Luo Cong’an’s eyes widened slightly. She looked at the young man sitting on the chair in disbelief, then at the woman who had spoken.
Her lips parted slightly, clearly shocked.
She lowered her head, her body trembling slightly, her red pupils growing even more scarlet, and her entire aura changed.
Chen An’s heart sank, and he quickly denied, “Eileen, when did I get a child bride like you??”
As his words fell, the woman’s trembling body finally began to calm down.
Luo Cong’an took a deep breath, raised her head again, and said coldly, “Mister is a distinguished person. Why would he need some damn ‘child bride’?”
As she spoke, she suddenly recalled when she first met her mister; she seemed to have been about seven or eight years old.
The biting cold wind and heavy snow were not terrifying death.
It was the hand that her mister extended.
Then, Luo Cong’an changed her tone, “Even if there were one, it would definitely be me.”
Hearing this, Eileen’s eyes widened slightly, and she blurted out in anger.
“Bah, shameless!”
How could Luo Cong’an tolerate that? She immediately retorted.
“Who is it that ran all this way, begging on their knees for mister not to kick them out? I think you’re the shameless one!”
Eileen refused to back down and immediately retorted.
“That’s still better than some bad women who are thinking about their own mister!”
Due to Chen An’s presence, neither of them could make a move, so they could only resort to verbal sparring.
Struck at her weak point, Luo Cong’an’s face turned red.
She bit her lip, steeled herself, and stopped arguing with the big moth. Instead, she turned to look at the young man.
Her eyes flickered, showing a hint of moisture.
“Mister, no matter what, I will never agree to let her live with you.”
“If anyone is going to live here, it must be me!”
Seeing her go from fierce one moment to pitiful the next, Eileen couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
“What an act!”
Facing the gazes of the two women, Chen An silently reminded them, “But this is a dormitory.”
“I’m not living alone here. Even if you want to live here, there’s no space to make room for you…”
