The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 871 - 394

Xu Haoyang was muttering to himself about who was calling him early in the morning while reaching for his phone. When he saw the name displayed on the screen, his headache immediately disappeared and his spirits lifted.

He quickly pressed the answer button, fearing that if he was a step slower, Xiao Shiyao might hang up, and he would have nowhere to cry.

"Yaoyao," Xu Haoyang answered the call, lifting the phone to his ear, his face wearing a particularly foolish smile.

"Xu Haoyang, are you sober now?"

Upon hearing Xiao Shiyao mention his drinking, Xu Haoyang immediately straightened his back. His mind began to spin rapidly, trying to recall the events after he had been drinking yesterday.

But other than the headache from the hangover, he couldn’t remember anything else.

"Awake, awake. Um, Yaoyao, I didn’t do anything embarrassing in front of your parents yesterday, did I?" Xu Haoyang cautiously asked.

"Embarrassing things?" Xiao Shiyao could tell from Xu Haoyang’s words how cautiously he was probing. She was in a great mood, covering her mouth to giggle silently, but her tone of voice didn’t let Xu Haoyang detect that she was giggling. "Like what?"

"Like saying or doing something excessive."

"Does incessantly pulling on you and saying I like you count?" Xiao Shiyao said.

"Of course that doesn’t count. That’s the voice of my heart. I already liked you," Xu Haoyang answered earnestly.

"Other than that, there’s nothing else." Xiao Shiyao wouldn’t admit it, but she felt sweet inside after hearing Xu Haoyang’s reply. Her mood improved a lot.

"That’s good, that’s good," Xu Haoyang said, honestly relieved.

Originally, Xiao Shiyao’s parents and her two brothers guarded against outside boys as if they were wolves. Previously, when he had fallen in love with Xiao Shiyao at first sight and told his friends he wanted to pursue her, they had advised him to give up, telling him it’s better not to chase her, lest he fails to win her over and gets heavily chastised by the Xiao and Situ families.

But having been indifferent his whole life, and for the first time feeling moved and deeply liking a girl, he thought he would regret it if he didn’t do something. Thus, he prepared to face any harsh treatment from the Xiao and Situ families, and he took action.

When he was invited to the Xiao family’s house as a guest, he was mentally prepared, ready to spend months recuperating in bed. This was because his friends, in order to dissuade him from pursuing Xiao Shiyao, had told him about the miserable experiences of other boys who had been guests of the Xiao family. They meant to wake him up and tighten his reins, but he was stubborn. With newfound affection, to not try at all and give up was simply not acceptable to him.

He was ready to face harsh treatment from the Xiao and Situ families if needed.

But giving up just like that was something he really couldn’t do.

After Xu Haoyang breathed a sigh of relief, he cautiously asked: "Yaoyao, um, did I gain approval from your parents and your brothers?"

"Xu Haoyang, shouldn’t you be asking if you passed my test?" Xiao Shiyao pouted, showing dissatisfaction. Even she didn’t realize she was unconsciously acting coquettishly towards Xu Haoyang. Out in public, she was usually very cold, sometimes not sparing anyone a glance.

"Yes, it’s my fault. Then Yaoyao, did I pass your test?" Facing his beloved girl, Xu Haoyang asked in a particularly good-natured manner.

"Well, that depends on your future behavior. Oh, by the way, I called to ask if you’re feeling any discomfort now that you’re sober, my mum has prepared some medicinal remedies for hangovers for you," Xiao Shiyao was quite worried about Xu Haoyang, knowing he must be feeling bad after drinking so much last night. However, for her as a girl to initiate the call wasn’t ideal. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

As she was hesitating, her mother, Situ Xin, brought the medicine over for Xu Haoyang. Although her mother had provided them with preventive medicines yesterday to avoid harm from the drunkenness, the amount he drank was so much that he was bound to feel terrible waking up next day.

Thus, her mother Situ Xin had prepared medicine for Xu Haoyang.
