Dong Jiaxuan was taken aback, never expecting that she would be called a rascal.
She quickly took two steps back, creating some distance between them, and hurriedly explained, "Brother Yexun, Xiaoxiao actually doesn't like you at all. She's just trying to use you to have an easier time in the team. She isn't favored at home, and her parents and brother are all highly capable people. It would have been easy for them to arrange a job for her. Still, they intentionally sent her to the countryside because they wanted her brother to gain a good reputation in the army."
"Are you saying all this because you think I want a free ride?" Jiang Yexun squinted his eyes and glared at Dong Jiaxuan, his gaze sharp.
Dong Jiaxuan knew that being accused of freeloading was extremely humiliating for a man. She instantly regretted her words, but it was too late.
"And stop calling me 'brother' so casually. I don't even know you," Jiang Yexun threatened, pointing at Dong Jiaxuan.
