C169 (2/2)

However, the man in front didn't seem to be happy, he only carried the girl and silently walked back.

Sensing the gaze behind him, Xiao Qian turned around and smiled at him, ”Come here, A-Jin. Uncle Xiao is holding you.”

A Jin smiled as she let go of Su Zhi's hand and climbed onto the man's strong arm.

The three people in front were enjoying themselves, leaving Su Zhi alone as she silently followed behind. She stuck her tongue out at the man and muttered something to herself. And then there were the two stinking children, the little traitor.

As soon as the family returned home, it began to rain.

Although it was not past spring, the rain was not gentle at all, and crackling and rattling violently.

Mrs Ding enjoyed her meal. After a long time, she didn't see Xiao Qian come back and prepared a big table full of good wine and dishes.

Bi Yue and Danxue were busy doing their work as well, and didn't notice the man's little mood in the slightest.

For the first time in her life, Su Zhi was happy with the rain.

It was raining so heavily that the man couldn't have left tonight, right?

She understood Xiao Qian. His temper came a bit faster, but it also dispersed a bit faster. It was actually very easy to coax. He was only thinking of his big brother, yet he still had to coax him. It gave him a feeling that he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Su Zhi did not have much experience in love, so she did not know how to handle this kind of thing. She could only rely on instinct to decide. He would be better after a while.

After the meal was served, Xiao Qian did not slow down his mood and remained silent. Mrs Ding took A Jin and Little Dou Bao away, hoping that the two of them would be more at ease. But without the child by her side, Su Zhi felt even more uneasy.

The two of them ate in silence. The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Su Zhi ate the rice in the bowl and secretly sized up the man in front of her. She saw that his eyebrows were stiff and his curved, beautiful lower jaw was moving slightly with the sound of chewing. It was obvious that he was unhappy.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but no words came out.

This man was really annoying. Wasn't he just being stingy? Wasn't he just admitting his wrongs in the wrong words? Was there really a need to be so stingy?

”That …” This Jealous Ribs is not bad. ”

Unable to bear the awkward situation anymore, Su Zhi picked up a pork chop and placed it in the man's bowl, as a show of goodwill.

Xiao Qian stared blankly at the small piece of pork chop before continuing to eat his own. He didn't show any displeasure nor did he appear very happy.

He was speechless.

Su Zhi felt that she had lost a lot of face. As expected, this man was not easy to coax. Forget it, just let him be!

So what if I like it!

She lowered her head in exasperation, but there were only a few dishes in front of her, so she no longer spoke to him.

After a long while, Xiao Qian put down his chopsticks and looked at her seriously.

”Ah Zhi, tell me the truth, are you unwilling to marry me because of Lord Liu?”

Su Zhi could not swallow a mouthful of rice as she choked on her tears.

”You don't have Waters in your head, do you? If I don't want to marry you for the sake of Lord Liu, why would I waste time and emotions with you! ”

The man looked helpless. ”But you refused to say yes.”

It's not because you have a powerful grandmother and you don't want a girl like her, who has no background, to come in.

”Take care of your grandmother first.”

She was clearly such an easy person to deal with, yet she was the one who had to talk nonsense. If the elders agreed, would she be unhappy?

”Then, you've agreed to follow me?”

Su Zhi rolled her eyes at him, she was so angry that she could not eat anymore.

Could this man be any more stupid?

With this guarantee, Xiao Qian quickly cleared the haze. His mood was elated. ”Alright. You don't need to worry about the rest of it. Just leave it to me.”

He gave a silly smile to Su Zhi, then picked up a piece of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs and passed it to her, ”This taste is indeed not bad, eat more.”

”Don't go against the madame. She doesn't like me so she naturally won't let you marry me. I don't want you to be unhappy with my family because of my matter.”

Xiao Qian quickly finished the large bowl of rice and said happily, ”Don't worry about that. I have a way to get Grandmother to let you in.”

He didn't say that Su Zhi also knew that he was trying to deceive Madam Xiao by saying that she was pregnant, but how long could he keep this a secret? Even if he managed to get through to the doctor, he would not be able to hold on to the fact that there was nothing in his stomach after a few months.

It was still raining heavily outside. After dinner, the rain didn't seem to lessen as Xiao Qian stayed behind.

Mama Ding took the two children to her room to rest while lying alone on the bed with Xiao Qian. Su Zhi was still a bit shy.

After washing up, she was the first to get into bed. She leaned against the wall and wrapped herself in a blanket as she squinted at him.

”What? Everything was fine before, but now you're feeling shy?”

”That's different. In the past, you were just a bedhead …”

Her voice trailed off until she buried her face in the covers and didn't dare look at him.

Xiao Qian took off his outer garment, leaving only a snow-white inner garment. Su Zhi clearly remembered that she had personally sewn this lining for him.

The material on his shirt was thin to begin with. He slightly opened his collar revealing half of his strong, wheat colored body, as well as a faintly discernible red bead …

This man's figure was simply impeccable. Su Zhi withdrew her peripheral vision and disappointedly swallowed her saliva. He was definitely doing it on purpose. He was just trying to be perverted. Lure her!
