Chapter 1114 Being Jealous (Part One)
"You are Patricia''s friend. I should at least stay for a while for her sake." A sweet smile spread across
Leena''s face. At the moment, she looked like an innocent angel. However, she cursed Patricia a
thousand times in her heart. Patricia had told her that she had been forced by her family to go on a
date. She had begged Leena to apany her. Now it seemed that everything Patricia said was to
fool her intoing here alone. She took advantage of Leena''s kind heart. What was more, Leena
knew Patricia was a sly one. She had told herself that she wouldn''t get caught in Patricia''s trap. How
wrong Leena was! Now she sat there, fuming and pretending nonchnce.
"At least? You wound me! I must really have a bad reputation if you are so harsh on me." Summer Xia
forced a wry smile andughed at himself. This woman was sharp with her words. She didn''t call him
names, but what she said frustrated him very much.
"Summer Xia, right? In this cold winter, I am literally feeling the warmth of summer... not because of
you, but because of the idiotic way you act. Stop behaving so foolishly. You make me want tough!
You know what, Summer? You act so childishly and I could not be more familiar with it. I''ve been bored
with these antics since middle school. It is so out of date. Please! If you want to impress me, you''ll have
to try another way." The smile on Leena''s face still looked beautiful and pure, but her words revealed
that she wasn''t so easy to please.
"Well, maybe I can''t keep up with the trend these days. Come on, don''t be so harsh on me! Don''t
dismiss me so easily." Summer''s eyes widened. Leena''s harangue surprised him and he stared at her,
puzzled. Didn''t Patricia describe her as gentle and sweet? From where he sat, he did not feel that way
at all! Leena was more of a cunning girl, who did not allow herself to be in a situation she didn''t want to
be in.
"I''m sorry. I''m just not used to a cunning man behaving as if he is truly innocent and wet behind the
ears," Leena said sardonically, pursing her lips. He should probably ask Edward - who was a real
expert in this respect - for tips. Edward certainly had rich experience and Summer would be a good
student under him.
"Hah! That''s funny. Can I call you Leena?" Summer never expected Leena to be so potty-mouthed.
She disregarded his feelings and spoke without any charity towards him. She unmasked him right
away, leaving him at a loss. Summer did not know how to respond to her and changed the topic of
conversation.
"I''m sorry, but I don''t think we know each other well enough to be on a first-name basis. Call me Miss
Leng, please!" Leena was well-aware that she was a married woman, so she replied to Summer in a
polite and distant manner. She refused his proposal and kept her restraint in check.
"Well, fine. But we''ve gotten to know each other today and I''m sure we will get more familiarter on."
Summer shrugged and smiled indifferently. He had foreseen her refusal so he was not too
disappointed.
"Summer Xia, I want to make sure. Do you merely want to get to know me or do you want to date me?
Or is it that you are one of those wile men, who only want to have a one night stand with a woman?"
Leena sneered lightly. Judging from Summer''s appearance, she did not believe that Summer was
single and didn''t have a girlfriend. He was interested in Leena only because Patricia told him
something about her that aroused a need for conquest in him. Leena knew such men very well, who
believed in showing off their power by the notches on their bedposts. Unfortunately, he had mistaken
Leena for the wrong woman. She was not an innocent girl who would easily fall into his trap, nor was
she interested. She had many excellent men around her. More importantly, somebody already resided
in her heart, and both her heart and soul belonged to that person.
"I want to make sure too. Are you always so straightforward with everyone, Miss Leng?" Summer was
not an expert at being artful. Leena''s direct responses made him feel a bit awkward. He admitted that
he wanted to get to know her because of her beauty, but he was no yboy.
"Oh, not necessarily. It depends on the subject at hand, not the people I am talking to. Please don''t
mind if you feel offended," Leena replied, her teeth gritting. If Patricia was here, Leena would set her
straight. How could she fool her into a date with this childish man?
"Now I know why you don''t have a boyfriend despite your beautiful face." Summer touched his hand to
his forehead and smiledzily. He thought this pretty little woman would be softer and sweeter than
Patricia. He now realized he had gotten it all wrong. She was like a little hedgehog who protected
herself with her thorns.
"Oh? Why do you think so? I''d like to hear more." All of a sudden, Leena wondered if he was as bad as
she imagined. She grew curious about what he had to say.
"ording to me, a man would not want a girlfriend who is more forceful than he is," Summer said
wickedly. He was not as enchanting as Rain, who left him far behind in that respect. Summer sounded
more like a bully when he responded to Leena.
"Then that man is narrow-minded. Why? Are you also one of those men, Summer Xia?" Leena''s eyes
shed in annoyance as she gazed at him with fake interest. She looked adorable and geeky wearing
her sses, so Summer did not sense any guile in her.
"Miss Leng, will you stop calling me Summer Xia every time you speak to me? It makes me feel
stressful. Please just call me Summer," Summer argued, frowning.
"Don''t you worry. I''m not your professor. You don''t need to be stressed around me. Also, you are
Patricia''s friend, and I''m sure you are not a student anymore." Leena reached out and pushed her
sses up. She regretted wearing them as she had to adjust them from time to time.
They chatted with smiles on their faces. Even though their conversation was not as pleasant as an
onlooker would think, the two of them managed to keep the atmosphere peaceful. However, they didn''t
notice the pair of eagle eyes staring at them from a corner of the coffee shop.
"Major General, it''s Leena. Shall we go over and greet her?" At first, Lee had no idea what his Major
General was staring at so intently, until he followed his gaze and saw Leena.
"Yes. Why not? Shall we say hello?" Kevin turned his stare away from that direction and took a look at
Lee, his eyes gleaming. He didn''t expect to see such an interesting scene, yes, ''interesting'', when he
arrived to meet a client here. He noticed Leena the moment she came in. She didn''t see him because
he sat in a barely noticeable corner of the shop. Kevin had nned to walk over after he finished with
business, but unexpectedly, a young boy he had never seen before appeared before her. That was
right, a young boy. To Kevin, he was merely a kid in a candy store.
"Uh. I don''t know. But Major General, are we not heading to the army base now?" The corner of Lee''s

mouth turned down. The client had already gone. But the Major General neither walked over to Leena
nor did he decide to return to the army base. ''What is he nning?'' Lee thought, puzzled. ''The report
needs to be dealt with urgently.''
"Why are we in such a rush?" Kevin asked him frigidly. A troubled feeling surged up in his heart when
he saw Leena talking to the other man with an angelic smile on her face. He did not know what to do
about it, so he decided to wait and watch.
