Chapter 688 - Investment (1/2)

When she heard what Xiao Ruyi said, Su Li immediately blushed and her heart started racing. Indeed, she had lost the aloofness and haughtiness of a female CEO; she was thoroughly embarrassed, just like an ordinary, young lady.

It was natural to visit one’s father and mother. Xiao Luo was prepared to bring Su Li and Su Xiaobei to visit Luo Village in a few days. Su Xiaobei could meet her grandparents. They could enter the Xiaos’ ancestral hall and pay their respects there and finally complete the traditional marriage customs of the Xiao family. At the end of it all, he and Su Li could travel the globe again for another honeymoon. They could enjoy the views of every spot in the world and it would leave them with the memory of their hands locked with each other’s.

His phone rang suddenly—it was his mother, Hua Heying, calling.

Xiao Luo picked up. He heard his mother ask, “When did you break up with Siying?”

This was a sensitive question, and Xiao Luo had no choice but to find an excuse to leave the room. He walked out and said with a frown, “It’s complicated, Mom. I’ll explain everything to you when I have the time.”

“You don’t have to explain anything to me. I’m just calling you to tell you not to let that lady Siying down, because I can tell she likes you a lot. If you let her down, she’ll be very sad,” Hua Heying said.

“What kind of mother are you? How can you say something like this? You’re just outright telling little Luo to cheat.” Through the phone, he could hear his father Xiao Zhiyuan reprimanding Hua Heying in a raspy voice.

Hua Heying did not back down. She replied, “What’s wrong with cheating? Siying is the daughter-in-law I acknowledge, and I even gave her the jade bangle that’s been handed down in our family. She’s part of the Xiao family, so both you and your son will have to recognize this.”

“This country advocates and recognizes monogamy. What are you trying to do? You trying to ask our son to marry two women?” Xiao Zhiyuan hit back.

“And what about it? The other day on the news there was this factory owner who had three wives. Each of them runs a factory, and they get along pretty well. We have a brilliant son whose net worth is billions. So what’s wrong with marrying two wives? Is that too much?” Hua Heying remarked rather unashamedly.

Xiao Zhiyuan was at a loss for words.

Xiao Luo was embarrassed beyond compare, and he laughed wryly. “I can handle this, Mom. I think you should stay out of this matter.”

“I trust that you can handle this matter well. I just want to tell you that Siying is a pretty nice lady, and my heart would break for you if another man snatched her,” Hua Heying responded in a tone several degrees warmer.

Xiao Luo nodded. “I know.”

Thereafter, they talked about their day-to-day lives before finally ending the call.

Xiao Luo’s emotions were in a mess when he thought about Ji Siying. He did not know whether this counted as cheating, but he had fallen in love with two women at the same time.

He heaved a sigh and slid his phone back into his pocket, getting ready to go back to the room. Just as he turned, he saw a woman standing about two meters away from him. Black hair fell down her back like water and her skin was pale as snow. She had clear eyes and her brows were elegantly arched; her lips were dainty like rose petals.

Who was it if not Ji Siying?

“What are you doing here, Siying?” Xiao Luo asked, confused.

“I am where you are, Mr. Xiao Luo.”

Ji Siying walked over with a sweet smile on her face, stopping in front of Xiao Luo. Her beautiful eyes stared wistfully at him and on her wrist was the jade bangle that Hua Heying had given her.

“Come to the room with me,” Xiao Luo said.

Ji Siying shook her head. “I should know my place as your mistress. I’m satisfied as long as I have a place in your heart, Mr. Xiao Luo.”

“Siying…” Xiao Luo suddenly felt guilty. He felt like he had wronged this girl.

Ji Siying walked up and wrapped him up in a loose hug. “Just let me stay in your arms like this for a little while, Mr. Xiao Luo.”

Xiao Luo could not find the words for his guilt. No matter what, he would have to find a way to properly resolve this situation between the three of them.

“The NSA warriors are actually having dinner here. I knew you booked a room here, so we chose this place as well. King Kong and Fu Yiren are here, too,” Ji Siying said.

“Has Drug Lady recovered?” Xiao Luo inquired.
