Chapter 686 - Discussing the Marriage (3) (1/2)

Days were short during winter in Beijing, so the skies were already dark at 5 pm.

At that moment, the street lamps were lit up.

The three of them felt the biting cold as the wind whistled around them.

Biting her lip, Xia Nuannuan said after a moment of hesitation, “Dad, Mom, why don’t we go home first?”

She wouldn’t mind it so much if they made things difficult for her alone. After all, she understood how Shen Xiu felt. Given that his son had gotten married without so much as informing him, of course he felt like she had seduced Zihao.

However, her parents had done nothing wrong.

What right did these people have to be treating them like this?

Xia Nuannuan’s eyes reddened. Fortunately, the skies had darkened and her parents couldn’t tell. Otherwise they would be really upset.

Dad Xia frowned when he heard her suggestion. After a brief moment, he turned to glance at the towering gate and huge courtyard. Then, he laughed and said, “It’s okay. The security officer has to pass the message to the big boss and it might take some time. We can wait, we’re in no hurry.”

Xia Nuannuan’s heart wrung with pain when she looked at her father.

She knew why he said that.

He had been a proud man all his life. When had he swallowed his pride like this?

He did so now because he felt that if they went away, it would put his daughter in a difficult position with her mother-in-law, and it would make things difficult for his daughter ultimately.

His heart ached for his own daughter.

And now, for the first time, she regretted this marriage.

It was the second day of their marriage, but she wished they hadn’t registered it the day before.

Mom Xia spoke as well, saying, “That’s right, let’s wait for a while, it’s okay. You’re too impatient, child.”

Xia Nuannuan hung her head and did not say a word. Holding the cell phone in her hand, she said, “I’ll call a cab, let’s go. Let’s not wait here any longer.”
