Super Sweet, 100\% Honeymoon-Chapter 704 - 703: Climax! Mr. Ling Takes the Stage (5)
Xia Xiyan lowered her head, looking at the invitation in her hands, a mocking smirk tugging at her lips.
Qiao Qianmo had already entered the venue under the staff’s guidance.
Susan crossed her arms, watching Xiyan stare silently at the invitation.
What’s wrong? Did seeing the invitation strike her dumb so she couldn’t even say a word?
Thinking this, Susan felt elated, a sense of being in total control surging through her.
Xia Xiyan, in her current pitiful state, was no different from Xia Zhiyun back then.
Like mother, like daughter—they were destined to be trampled underfoot by her, never to rise again!
"If you don’t bring Xia Zhiyun tomorrow, I’ll look down on you," Susan declared arrogantly, dropping her arms. "Of course, even if you don’t show up, you can still watch it on TV. Makes no difference."
With that, she laughed heartily twice before following them into the venue.
Xiyan lifted her gaze to their retreating figures, her small hand gradually clenching into a fist.
"Summer..." Her assistant was nearly in tears with anger. "That old witch is so detestable! What business does Qiao Qianmo have at today’s event? Why is she sticking her nose in? I’m sure it was her who arranged for those people earlier to throw dirt at us. Shameless!"
She was furious.
But now wasn’t the time for retaliation.
Xiyan loosened her clenched fist, turned around, and said, "Let’s go."
"We’re just leaving like this?" The assistant couldn’t believe it.
This wasn’t the Summer she knew at all.
Xiyan chuckled lightly.
Sometimes, withdrawing a punch is so it can strike harder later!
Qiao Qianmo, Susan.
Just wait and see tomorrow.

The next morning.
At the Chi Mansion.
An Ran was setting the table when a lazy voice greeted, "Morning."
She froze for a moment, then glanced shyly at Chi Cheng. "Good morning," she murmured.
Chi Cheng pulled out a chair and sat across from her, resting his chin on one hand and smiling lightly. "So now that we’re officially dating, you don’t even have the courage to look me in the eye anymore?"
An Ran quickly raised her head, like a startled little rabbit. "You... stop teasing."
They were at home right now.
Although her mom and Uncle Chi hadn’t come downstairs yet, and the servants were busy in the kitchen with breakfast, it was just her and Chi Cheng for the moment.
But she still couldn’t quite adjust to the transition from "brother" to "boyfriend." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
It felt as though the confession that day had drained all the courage she had left for the rest of her life.
She was... dating her "brother."
How absurd.
Not having figured out how to explain this to Uncle Chi or her mom, An Ran was constantly on edge.
But Chi Cheng was different.
He was as handsome, refined, and composed as ever.
Just like before—unchanged.
"Stop saying what?" Chi Cheng asked knowingly.
"You know exactly what I mean."
Chi Cheng chuckled softly. "I don’t. Are you referring to the part about going from my sister to my girlfriend?"
This guy was definitely doing it on purpose.
How could he be this devious—ahhh!
Uncle Chi’s cheerful voice suddenly came from behind them. "What are you two chatting about?"
An Ran jumped in shock, utterly flustered.
Oh no, oh no.
Did Uncle Chi hear what they just said?
Chi Cheng remained completely composed, as calm as ever. "Just talking with Ranran about the press conference for Little Jue later."
An Ran’s mom walked over as well, and everyone took their seats.
Sitting across from Chi Cheng, An Ran couldn’t shake the feeling of being riddled with guilt.
