บท 86: Love and War

"Don't break up with me!"

Xue Ning stood in stunned silence after his pleading words.

"Okay…" she said slowly, drawing out the word. Xue Ning tilted her head to the right, giving him a look of abject disbelief. 

"First of all, we can't exactly break up because we are not really dating," She stated. Jingwei looked relieved at first, but then her words really sunk in and he deflated like a balloon, sulking. 

"We could be married. I could arrange it," He muttered petulantly under his breath. 

"And secondly," Xue Ning said in a louder voice, ignoring his grouchy mumbling. "I highly doubt someone who has lived with an entire bevy of servants at his beck and call can clean up after themselves. Rich kids are all the same." 

"I'm different!" He protested. "I'll prove it!" 

"How?" 

"I'll do all the house chores for a week!"

"Only a week?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. "Pathetic."
