272 HER GRANDFATHERs ON A MISSION! edited (2/2)
”What's that 'something general'?” Senja probed impatiently.
”Ask your grandfather if you want to know.” Xiao Tianyao walked away and Senja immediately went after him.
She grabbed his sleeve to get his attention. ”You know he won't tell me anything.”
She remembered that her grandfather had refused her before, when he'd reprimanded Xiao Tianyao about that assassin in Carnation Resort. She had tried everything, but the man just wouldn't talk. This time she was sure it wouldn't be any different.
”Then, it means you don't need to know.”
”When did you become so petty?” Senja tugged at Xiao Tianyao's sleeve pitifully making him smile.
”Tell me, won't you?” Senja was trying to act spoiled. She'd always used this method to get what she wanted, not only on her brothers, but even on most of her exes.
”No.” He replied as his lips curved visibly.
Vexed, Senja bit his upper arm. Xiao Tianyao was startled by her action. But, before he could say anything, Sana's voice traveled from behind them.
”Young Miss Senja, that wasn't appropriate!” She lectured Senja in a virtuous tone as she walked towards them. Oddly, she was alone, her entourage of female servants was nowhere to be seen.
”Young Miss Sana it's been a while.” Senja greeted her without a smile on her lips. She was in no mood to pay attention to Sana's nonsense.
”It's indeed been a while since you went with your brother-in-law.” Sana taunted as she emphasized the words 'brother-in-law' to make Senja uncomfortable.
But, of course Senja treated it like air. Precisely because she didn't really care about it.
Xiao Tianyao hadn't stopped walking even when he'd heard Sana's voice. Seeing that the man beside her had walked away, Senja raised her hand and waved. ”Too bad I can't chat with you because I have to go again with MY brother in law.” Senja emphasized the words 'my' childishly, like a kid who was bickering over his possession.
”Senja! You have crossed the line!” Sana stomped over. She lifted her dress and ran to catch up with Senja and Xiao Tianyao.
She blocked their way by standing right in front of them. Sana didn't dare to look at Xiao Tianyao, so she directed her gaze at Senja.
