Chapter 406: Newlyweds
Su Jin rejected Xi Chenxiao. After all, Xi Chenxiao’s grandparents were there, and she was embarrassed to have them watch all this. More importantly, a family like the Xi’s was particular about rules. This behavior would make Su Jin look ignorant and unruly.
Xi Chenxiao did not care. He was going to hug Su Jin and feed her no matter who was watching today. He ignored Su Jin’s words and continued hugging her as he ordered,
“Be good, open your mouth.”
Su Jin felt helpless when she heard this. What could she do when the devil said this? She could only obediently open her mouth, let Xi Chenxiao feed her the dumpling so she could eat it quickly.
Grandpa Xi put down his chopsticks angrily when he saw this. These two children showed no respect at all when they behave like this in front of him. He scoffed,!!
“This is unacceptable behavior.”
Madam Xi didn’t think so. What was so bad about the young couple being lovey-dovey? Did they have to force their grandson to be a cold-blooded and heartless machine? She said open-mindedly to Grandpa Xi,
“Old man, what’s wrong with the young couple being so loving? They are newlyweds after all. Of course, they would be inseparable.”
The old man who was already very angry got even angrier when he heard his wife speak up for Xi Chenxiao and the girl. He felt a strong sense of betrayal as he said unhappily to Grandma Xi,
“What newlyweds and inseparable? This girl is a vixen. She seduced our Chenxiao and made him not like him anymore.”
Su Jin didn’t have much appetite under Grandpa Xi’s scrutiny anyway. She forced herself to eat something. Half-filled, she said to Xi Chenxiao,
“Boss, I’ve had enough. Can I go to school now?”
Xi Chenxiao nodded. He was busy feeding Su Jin that he didn’t eat anything himself. Now that the girl had had enough, he ought to eat something too or he wouldn’t have the energy to work all day.
“Okay, give me a few minutes. I’ll drop you off at school.”
Su Jin nodded. She dared not defy Xi Chenxiao. After all, the devil was her financier, and this was the Xi family’s old residence. She could only listen obediently.
When Xi Chenxiao finally put down his chopsticks, Su Jin let out a sigh of relief. They were finally getting out of this place. The atmosphere was too depressing. Every minute spent here was a torture. But before they could get up, Grandpa Xi ordered,
“Xi Chenxiao, come with me.”
Xi Chenxiao looked at the time and nodded lightly. They were thirty minutes away from the school bell. He could speak with his grandfather before sending the girl to school. He would not make her late.
Su Jin became anxious when she saw this. If Xi Chenxiao went with his grandfather, who would send her to school? What if the two of them went into the study and talked for hours? Wouldn’t she miss school again? At the thought of this, she tugged at Xi Chenxiao’s clothes and whispered,
“Boss, can you let the driver take me to school first? I have something important to do today.”
Xi Chenxiao frowned when he heard this. What important thing could this girl have that she could not wait for him even for a little while? It shouldn’t take him long, so he wanted to reject Su Jin’s request directly.
Su Jin also knew that Xi Chenxiao would not agree easily but she could not miss school today. Otherwise, she would have wasted too much energy talking yesterday. She stood on tiptoes, leaned into Xi Chenxiao’s ear and coaxed,
“Please I beg you, can you let the driver take me to school first?”
When Xi Chenxiao heard Su Jin’s coquettish voice, his heart started to beat faster and love and gentleness flashed across his usually cold face. He nodded and replied,
“Sure.”
Su Jin smiled happily when she heard this. Once she was in school, she would collect her winnings from all those people and not be poor anymore! She would be a little rich girl! She was full of smiles as she said happily,
“Thank you. You’re very kind.”
Xi Chenxiao stroked Su Jin’s hair lovingly. Just a small matter like this made the girl so happy. Wasn’t she too easy to please?
