The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 879 - 400
Chapter 879: Chapter 400
Xiao Shiyao cheerfully used her chopsticks to continue picking up food to eat, while Xu Haoyang seemed like he had taken a big hit.
His brain seemed to stop functioning properly when he was in love.
He had always known that if he wanted to pursue Xiao Shiyao, he must pass the test of the Xiao Family and the Situ Family. Like Xiao Shiyao said, if it was really discovered that he frequented those kinds of places, then sitting down and having a meal with Xiao Shiyao would definitely not be allowed at all.
Xu Haoyang’s devastated look didn’t last long; soon after, he put on a new face, baring his teeth, showing a big smile: "That’s right. Yaoyao, does that mean I’ve passed your parents’ test and I can legitimately pursue you now?"
Xiao Shiyao said, Xu Haoyang’s face changes so quickly, he apparently figured out the ins and outs suddenly. "But whether or not I agree to your marriage proposal, and discussing about dating, it seems like I’m still the one who has the final say."
Xiao Shiyao did not directly answer Xu Haoyang’s question, however, her implied meaning was all there.
How could Xu Haoyang not understand? Hearing Xiao Shiyao’s words, his smile became even sillier. "As long as your parents do not oppose, I am confident in pursuing you. Anyway, if you don’t agree to be with me for a day, I’ll pursue you for a day. After all, since the day I fell in love with you, I prepared myself for a long battle."
What Xu Haoyang said was not just for Xiao Shiyao to hear, but it was truly what he thought. "I have grown up, and you are the only girl who has made my heart race. It was only from the moment I saw you that I knew what blushing and a faster heartbeat meant. Before meeting you, I thought I’d possibly remain single forever. It’s embarrassing to admit, but my buddies even secretly asked me if I didn’t like women, but men instead."
Speaking of this, Xu Haoyang appeared helpless.
He didn’t like men at all, his sexual orientation was perfectly normal. However, he was not fickle, and did not like settling for less. If it wasn’t someone he loved, he would rather be misunderstood about his sexual orientation than find a woman to date.
And now, Xu Haoyang was particularly glad that he hadn’t settled, hadn’t casually dated any woman. Otherwise, he would probably not even have the right to be close to Xiao Shiyao now. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Thinking of this, the smile on Xu Haoyang’s face grew even bigger.
"You look really silly when you laugh," Xiao Shiyao said with a tone of disdain, but her smiling face betrayed her true feelings.
Actually, her thoughts were the same as Xu Haoyang’s; she wouldn’t settle. If she didn’t like someone, she’d rather stay single for life. "But, you are quite adorable. I don’t dislike you, I think we can give it a try. Of course, you are still in your probation period right now, if during the probation period, I feel that we are not suitable, I will end your probation."
Upon hearing this, Xu Haoyang was once again stunned. He stared blankly at Xiao Shiyao.
While Xiao Shiyao, seeing Xu Haoyang silent after listening to her words, felt a twinge in her heart. She thought the probation period concept might have made Xu Haoyang uncomfortable. She was thinking about whether she should explain to him that actually, she had a good feeling about him.
Before Xiao Shiyao could speak, Xu Haoyang, who had digested Xiao Shiyao’s words, had bright eyes and a look of disbelief: "Yaoyao, are you serious?"
"Hm?" Now it was Xiao Shiyao’s turn to not follow.
"I mean the thing about the probation period. Don’t worry, I will definitely perform well, hoping to officially get the job after the probation period ends. Haha, I am so happy." Xu Haoyang thought he would have to remain in the suitor position for a year and a half. He was prepared for a long fight.
Unexpectedly, his luck was really too good. In the blink of an eye, he had already taken a big step forward.
Xu Haoyang suddenly felt, the time when he would win his beauty wasn’t far off.
Xiao Shiyao, seeing the big smile on Xu Haoyang’s face, was also infected and in a particularly good mood: "It depends on your performance." Xiao Shiyao slightly lifted her head, speaking with an air of coquettish pride.
Yet, her facial expression betrayed her current mood.
From then on, the newly established couple, Xiao Shiyao and Xu Haoyang, happily finished their dinner.
After dinner, Xu Haoyang wanted to invite Xiao Shiyao to a movie or accompany her shopping. However, glancing at the time, he could only suppress his reluctance and take Xiao Shiyao back to the Xiao Family.
He feared that if he returned Xiao Shiyao home too late, next time, he might not even see her face at all.
Arriving at the gate of the Xiao Family, when Xiao Shiyao opened the car door to get out, she noticed Xu Haoyang’s pitiful gaze, like an abandoned puppy, which made Xiao Shiyao unable to suppress a laugh. "No matter how pitiful your eyes look, it won’t help. Of course, unless you’re not scared of my dad making you join him in our home gym, we could still go see a movie." Saying this, Xiao Shiyao couldn’t help covering her mouth, laughing.
"Yaoyao." Xu Haoyang cooed at Xiao Shiyao, but he also knew now was not the time. If he annoyed his future father-in-law now, his journey of pursuing his wife would become much tougher. "See you tomorrow. Remember to dream about me tonight."
"Keep dreaming."
Xiao Shiyao got out of the car and walked inside.
After Xiao Shiyao got out, Xu Haoyang didn’t immediately start the car but parked there, watching her retreating figure until he was sure she had entered her home, only then did he start the car and leave.

Xiao Shiyao, listening to the sound of the car starting outside, wore a sweet smile that even she hadn’t noticed herself.
"Cough cough."
However, the sweet smile on her face didn’t last long before it was startled away by her father Xiao Muli’s cough.
"Dad."
"Hmm. Did you have a good dinner?" Xiao Muli, seeing his daughter’s demeanor, knew that the girl might be really into that brat. He felt a particular distaste in his heart. He wished he could drag Xu Haoyang to the gym to let off some steam.
But, his wife had spoken out against it.
His wife’s words were there, and he dared not disobey.
"I had a good meal."
"Did you eat with that boy?" Xiao Muli gritted his teeth tightly when he mentioned "that boy."
Seeing her dad like that, Xiao Shiyao knew it wasn’t good. She quickly walked up to her dad, took his arm, and said: "Dad, don’t be angry. I didn’t eat alone with him, there were many other people. Moreover, I told him that he’s on probation now, and if he doesn’t measure up, I’ll kick him out immediately."
