The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 891 - 410

Hearbeat heard her second brother’s words and only then did she feel that the house seemed different from usual today, too quiet somehow.

"Big Brother, be honest with me, where did Dad and Mom go? If you dare to keep glancing around, do you believe I will tell Mom about those things of yours? I believe Mom would be especially delighted if she knew," Hearbeat threatened her brother without batting an eye.

"Hey, Yaoyao, how could you do this?" Xiao Xuyang grumbled through gritted teeth, full of regret. He really shouldn’t have been so careless, not locking the door when he was on video.

Now look what happened, this girl had stumbled upon it by chance, and it became something she could use to threaten him.

"Why can’t I be like this? You’ve treated me, your little sister, this way, so I can’t do the same to you? Actually, it’s good to let Dad and Mom meet their future daughter-in-law sooner," Hearbeat said arrogantly, with a sense of pride.

Xu Haoyang watched his beloved girlfriend’s arrogant demeanor, her pouting lips, and he fell more and more in love, his heart racing. His brothers always complained when they were dating their girlfriends, saying that after truly being together for a while, they would lose that feeling of excitement, growing more and more displeased with their girlfriends. They also wondered if this was a case of aesthetic fatigue.

Just yesterday, his buddies joked around asking him, now that he has won over Goddess Xiao, doesn’t he feel like Goddess Xiao is just so-so, just a bit prettier than the average girl?

Some asked him if, after chasing Goddess Xiao, he feels like that’s all there is to her, if he can tolerate her temper.

Although his buddies were asking him, they actually had their own answers in their minds, ones unrelated to him.

He simply did not have the feeling his friends talked about; the more he interacted with Hearbeat, the more attracted he became to her. Sometimes, he could just watch her absent-mindedly for a long time, feeling like he could never get enough.

And Hearbeat’s temperament was not at all like what his friends thought, not the princess type, hard to serve. In fact, Hearbeat was very easy-going, without any bad temper, never acting spoiled, only occasionally being coquettish, which tickled Xu Haoyang’s heart.

Hearbeat was simply irresistible, making people want to pamper her and treasure her in the palm of their hand.

"Yaoyao, I was wrong, your Big Brother was wrong," Xiao Xuyang quickly pleaded for mercy as soon as he heard Hearbeat’s words. Their family’s young lady would surely do as she said.

"Big Brother, why such a big reaction? What’s going on? Isn’t it, why are you hiding your girlfriend, not daring to let Mom and Dad know? I think, given the openness of Mom and Dad, they wouldn’t oppose it," Hearbeat suddenly thought of a possibility, her eyes instantly widening. "Big Brother, your girlfriend couldn’t possibly be male, right?"

As soon as Hearbeat said these words, not only did Xiao Xuyang on the other end of the phone choke on his drink: "Cough, cough," Xu Haoyang was so scared he didn’t dare make a sound, afraid that knowing some terrible secret of the Xiao Family’s second brother would lead to him being silenced.

Hearbeat seemed oblivious to the reaction her words had provoked, nonchalantly saying, "That shouldn’t be possible."

"What do you mean ’shouldn’t be possible?’ It must be impossible," Xiao Xuyang felt he had to speak up and stop his younger sister from going off on a tangent, "Goddess Xiao, please, pack away that wild imagination of yours, your Big Brother is normal, I like women. Also, don’t go off imagining all that messy stuff. I just think it’s not yet the right time to meet the parents. Oh, right, didn’t you want to know where Mom and Dad went? I’ll tell you now." Xiao Xuyang didn’t dare to give Hearbeat the runaround anymore. This girl could really drive him insane.

"That’s more like it, spill the beans," Hearbeat was satisfied, very content with the result she had caused.

"My parents are throwing a banquet at our own restaurant," Xiao Xuyang had a strong will to survive at this moment. He wouldn’t dare to mess with the two women in his family.

"You’re saying mom and dad are throwing a party? Second Brother, are you joking with me? You know how lazy mom is, she hates attending banquets the most."

"I would lie to you about this? It’s all for you, you girl."

"For me?" Xiao Shiyao was even more confused.

Xu Haoyang, who was sitting beside her, could faintly hear what Xiao Xuyang was saying on the phone and pieced together the conversation between the two.

Their conversation seemed to touch upon something in his mind. He remembered that his parents had been acting odd these past two days, always huddled together, whispering about something.

But he had been busy dating Xiao Shiyao. A man in love often lacks observational skills.

Now, recalling the conversation, Xu Haoyang vaguely remembered something about a Xiao Family banquet.

"Yaoyao, it could really be a banquet your parents are throwing, I think my parents have also been invited," Xu Haoyang said, gently tapping Xiao Shiyao’s arm.

"You knew? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?" Xiao Shiyao took her phone away from her ear and covered the receiver with one hand while speaking to Xu Haoyang.

"I didn’t pay much attention to it at first; only after hearing your Second Brother mentioning it did I remember," Xu Haoyang said, scratching his head.

Great, Xiao Shiyao didn’t need to ask her Second Brother Xiao Xuyang anything more now, wasn’t it clear? Her parents wanted to meet Xu Haoyang’s parents to get to know them better.

"Alright, I got it. Where are you right now?" Xiao Shiyao inquired about Xiao Xuyang’s whereabouts, thinking if her Second Brother was near the banquet hall, he could keep an eye on how her parents were getting along with Xu Haoyang’s parents.

"Yaoyao, don’t even think about it. Big Brother and I left the banquet hall a long time ago. You have no idea, our parents are really scheming! They almost had us on display like monkeys. Luckily, Big Brother and I were quick to escape," Xiao Xuyang recalled with a shiver.

If he hadn’t listened to his Big Brother and escaped early, he would’ve ended up being spectated like in the past. Xiao Shiyao had witnessed such an event before and couldn’t help but reminisce about the scene as her Second Brother mentioned it.

"Looks like the two of you did something to offend mom and dad, or they wouldn’t have dealt with you like that," Xiao Shiyao said, barely holding back a laugh.

Xu Haoyang watched her every move and everything about Xiao Shiyao made his heart beat faster.
