Super Sweet, 100\% Honeymoon-Chapter 723 - 731: Xiyan’s Father (4)

Xiyan felt a bit deflated.

"Are you upset?"

"..."

Ou Jue’s voice remained steady and even, "Call me when the party is over. I’ll come pick you up."

Xiyan pouted, "Pick me up? Don’t you have something going on?"

This guy, his words were totally inconsistent.

Ou Jue chuckled softly, "No matter how important it is, it can’t be more important than picking you up and bringing you home."

Hmph, nice words.

It felt like he just didn’t want to accompany her to the party.

Why?

Because Qiao Qianmo would also be attending this party, and he wanted to avoid any gossip?

Hmm, why did thinking about that make her chest feel so tight?

Without saying more, Xiyan hung up the phone, pushed the door open, and walked out.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Imagining Ou Jue in her mind, Xiyan waved her little fists dramatically, shouting into the air, "You big liar! Deadpan face! Emotionless freak!"

Who would’ve thought, as she looked up, she saw Ou Jue’s Lamborghini parked right there.

A young man in a tailored suit was standing in front of the car, one hand casually in his pocket.

No way?

Xiyan froze on the spot. "Ou Jue?"

Ou Jue gave a "gentle" smile, "Deadpan face? Emotionless freak? Hmm?"

"Ahahaha." Xiyan laughed awkwardly before hurrying forward. "Y-you... why are you here? Didn’t you say you couldn’t come with me?"

Seriously, there’s no defense against being overheard—speaking ill of someone really should stay in your head only.

Ou Jue turned around. "Then I’ll leave."

"No!" Xiyan immediately latched onto him. "You’re already here; why leave?"

Ou Jue let the young girl hang onto him. Though he said he would go, he still supported her weight with his hands. "Because I’m a liar, a deadpan face, and apparently also an emotionless freak."

Xiyan: No, no, no! I didn’t say anything just now. You imagined it! Either way, you’re not allowed to leave.

As she spoke, she clung even tighter around his neck.

"Let go."

"No."

"Xia Xiyan!" Ou Jue looked down at her. "How am I supposed to carry you to the car in this position?"

Huh?

Xiyan blinked, realizing he wasn’t planning to leave after all.

Such a prideful man. ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Once inside the car, Xiyan glanced sideways at him. "You said you couldn’t come with me, didn’t you?"

"That was a lie for fools."

"Y-you-you! Are you calling me a fool again?"

"Because only a fool like you would believe it. When has this young master ever gone back on a promise to you?"

Well, true.

Xiyan’s earlier gloom disappeared entirely.

-

When they arrived at the venue, they saw a large crowd gathered near the entrance.

A luxury car was parked at the end of the red carpet. The door opened, and a slightly overweight middle-aged man stepped out.

Following closely behind him was Qiao Qianmo. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

She was holding onto the arm of the middle-aged man, smiling as they walked into the venue.

Xiyan gave them a brief glance before looking away.

People around them were murmuring softly.

"I heard that’s Qiao Qianmo’s father. He flew in from Country S just for this charity gala."

"Did you see the car Qiao Qianmo’s dad came in? That model is a global limited edition! I heard it cost thirty to forty million!"

"Having a rich dad really makes a difference..." Someone lowered their voice. "And these past few days, the gossip about Qiao Qianmo and Summer has been all over the place. Honestly, wasn’t there that huge scandal not long ago about Summer’s dad?"

"You mean the rumor that Summer’s an illegitimate child and nobody knows who her real father is?"

At that, Xiyan’s breath hitched.
