Chapter 1622 - Mo Xicheng Reinstated (95) (1/2)

Shi Jinyan fell silent upon hearing these words.

He recalled Shi Nianyao’s unhappy expression and started to reflect on the matter. Had he been a little overprotective perhaps?

As he contemplated it, he heard sobbing coming from upstairs. “Sob, sob, sob.”

Shi Nianyao was trying to suppress her tears.

Shi Jinyan immediately caved in.

He got to his feet and coughed lightly.

Upstairs, in the meantime.

Shi Nianyao glared at Shi Xun and asked, “Big Brother, what’s the big deal? Why are you asking me to pretend to cry?”

Shi Xun gave a cold snort and replied, “Well, do you want to go on your date tonight or not?”

She quickly replied, “Of course I want to! Big Brother, don’t you even know what I’m thinking? You were so stern all of a sudden and even agreed with Dad. He’ll just think he’s in the right!”

Shi Xun laughed and said, “No, he won’t. Just you watch.”

Shi Nianyao was surprised. Then she heard footsteps coming upstairs.

Shi Xun threw her a look as she quickly lowered her head and pretended to cry. “Big Brother, how could you do this? You’re awful! I’m a grown adult and I have the right to date! You can’t be so overprotective!”

Shi Xun snorted and replied, “So what if I’m overprotective? I’m telling you, I’m not letting you out of the house today!”

Shi Nianyao: …

Shi Nianyao was about to say something in protest when Shi Jinyan coughed and interrupted. “Fine, enough already. Nianyao, come out here. I’m going to the supermarket to get a few things, come with me!”

Shi Nianyao got to her feet.

Shi Xun cleared his throat and insisted, “Dad, we just agreed that we’re not letting her out of the house.”
