Ben Shaojie allowed Xiao Xiao to vent her emotions, his face filled with indulgence. This scene left the bystanders astounded, unable to believe their eyes. Was this really the same Jue Shao who was always decisive and overbearing?
"Alright, stop now, can you?" Ben Shaojie gently embraced her, pulling her into his chest. She, petite and fragile, leaned against his tall figure, looking particularly delicate despite her unhappy expression.
Ben Shaojie carefully tidied her disheveled hair, a hint of teasing in his eyes. "Xiao Xiao, what kind of new hairstyle is this? Your hair is such a mess, is this the latest trend in America?"
Mentioning her hair, Xiao Xiao pursed her lips and glanced at Han Yun'er, her tone tinged with chill, "Thanks to you."
"Me?" Ben Shaojie looked puzzled. "What does this have to do with me? I just learned that you're back."
Xiao Xiao snorted, her gaze fixed on Han Yun'er. "Your 'girlfriend' is really something. I just came in to find you, and she picked a fight with me, even pulling my hair. Ben Shaojie, you have a unique taste in women!"
The last sentence was filled with sarcasm.
Ben Shaojie, who had known her since childhood, understood her underlying meaning perfectly. He suddenly turned to Han Yun'er, his eyes sharp and his tone icy. "Han Yun'er, you pulled her hair? Who gave you the nerve? How dare you touch her?"
Han Yun'er, who had been aggressive moments ago, now looked like a deflated balloon. Especially with Ben Shaojie's piercing gaze, she realized that she was in big trouble.
"Jue… Jue Shao… Please hear me out. It's not what she said! It's her, her attitude was too arrogant. And how dare she call you by your first name! That's disrespectful to you. I lost my temper in the moment…"
Han Yun'er tried to make her words sound more convincing, striving to find fault with Xiao Xiao.
Ben Shaojie's lips curled into a sneer, his slender arm casually draped over Xiao Xiao's shoulder, his gaze piercing through Han Yun'er. "Oh, why can't she? Because I allow it! How she addresses me is none of your business."
Xiao Xiao, who had still harbored some resentment, felt her grievances dissolve upon hearing Ben Shaojie defend her so firmly.
Han Yun'er's face alternated between pale and red. She had never seen such a situation before. Since meeting Ben Shaojie in middle school, she had harbored a crush on him and kept tabs on his activities over the years. But she had never heard of any woman being so favored by Ben Shaojie.
All of Ben Shaojie's past girlfriends had addressed him as "Jue Shao," with no exceptions. Yet, Xiao Xiao was now the one and only exception.
How could Han Yun'er swallow this? Her eyes welled up with tears, her expression one of helpless vulnerability.
"Jue Shao… I didn't know, I didn't know she had such a close relationship with you… I'm sorry, I really didn't know…"
Ben Shaojie hated it when women cried, turning his face away with impatience. Xiao Xiao also felt annoyed; she had been waiting to see how Ben Shaojie would punish Han Yun'er and get some satisfaction for herself. But now that Han Yun'er was crying, how could he punish her?
However, Xiao Xiao also realized that Han Yun'er was indeed clever and must have known Ben Shaojie well to choose to show weakness at this moment.
