The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 892 - 411

Hearing Xiao Shiyao’s laughter on the phone, Xiao Xuyang felt utterly defeated inside: "You’re still laughing, such a conscientious little sister you are. Why do you think Big Brother and I got scolded by Dad and Mom? It’s all because of you, and oh, I forgot one person, Xu Haoyang. This kid, Big Brother and I will have a good heart-to-heart with him later." Xiao Xuyang gritted his teeth as he spoke.

Xiao Shiyao kinda guessed it, her parents, especially her dad, probably thought her two brothers didn’t look after her well enough, and allowed Xu Haoyang, this big bad wolf, to sweep her away, hence the scheming to torment them.

Xiao Shiyao didn’t particularly avoid Xu Haoyang, so, the words from Xiao Xuyang over the phone, not that he heard everything crystal clear, but he heard what was just said. Hearing his future uncle-in-law wanted to "exchange feelings" with him chilled him to the bones.

And thinking further about his future big uncle’s face, which was strikingly similar to his stern future father-in-law’s, his heart turned even colder.

His journey towards wooing his wife is feared to be fraught with thorns.

However, turning his head to look at Xiao Shiyao’s face, full of determination. No matter what, he wouldn’t give up.

"Hehe, second brother, I think you won’t have time in the future to exchange feelings with Xu Haoyang, you’ll probably be even busier than us," Xiao Shiyao joked hesitantly.

Hearing Xiao Shiyao’s words, Xiao Xuyang choked on his water again: "Xiao Shiyao, can you be a bit ambitious, please? It’s barely been any time, and you’re already siding with that kid. You’ve broken your second brother’s heart."

"I’m not siding with Xu Haoyang, I’m just saying, second brother, you’ll be busy dating, busy marrying your second sister-in-law, where would you find the time to bond with him, right?"

"Xiao Shiyao, you," Xiao Xuyang realized then, that his sister had definitely grabbed him by his weak spot. "A daughter siding with outsiders! How did it come to this, the arm is already twisting outwards. Ahh, Big Brother and I are to blame, we failed to keep you in check, letting Xu Haoyang, this big bad wolf whisk you away. Dad scolding us both, he really did the right thing. But, how come you still have the energy to whine on the phone with me; shouldn’t you be worried about how the two families’ meeting is going? What’s the situation now? Do you think, with Dad’s temper, he might want to give Xu Haoyang’s dad a lesson?"

"Xiao Xuyang." Although Xiao Shiyao knew her second brother’s words were intentionally said for her, she couldn’t help starting to worry as well. What can she do when her dad is such a daddy’s girl.

Xiao Shiyao straight up hung up the phone, she didn’t want to talk to her second brother. Ever since they were little, she had never been able to outtalk him. She thought that seizing his weak spot this time would give her an upper hand, but in the end, she got so angry she hung up.

Seeing Xiao Shiyao quite upset, Xu Haoyang hastened to comfort her: "Yaoyao, calm down, calm down. Getting angry is bad for your health. Don’t stoop to second brother’s level, he’s just teasing you."

"I know, but every time, he manages to make me so mad. Eh, by the way, our parents must have met by now, I wonder what my parents will say to yours." As she spoke about it, Xiao Shiyao grew a little worried, a bit nervous.

"Don’t worry," Xu Haoyang was not nervous at all.

"Hmm?" Xiao Shiyao didn’t know where Xu Haoyang’s confidence came from. She remembered Xu Haoyang was always particularly nervous every time he met her parents, even her two brothers. How come this time, with both families meeting, he isn’t nervous at all.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, my mom is your mom’s idol, and my dad really admires your dad. So, there won’t be any problems. My parents always though me chasing you is like a toad wanting to eat swan meat," Xu Haoyang even laughed as he spoke.

Xiao Shiyao was speechless. Xu Haoyang really had a big heart. His parents even said that, yet he could still laugh about it. Perhaps he was struck too hard, a bit delusional.

"Your mom is really unique," Xiao Shiyao thought about it, and it seems she could only go along with it.

"Exactly, so don’t worry, once we’re married, you and my mom will definitely have no mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues. I bet my mom would treasure you beyond measure. You don’t know, my mom always wanted a daughter, it’s just unfortunate that I turned out to be a boy. I heard from my dad, the moment I was born, upon learning she had a boy, she thought the hospital swapped the babies. She was certain she was carrying a girl, how could it turn out to be a boy."

Xiao Shiyao couldn’t help but burst out laughing: "Your mom is adorable. Looks like, your mom and my mom really do have things to talk about. I think, you and my two brothers probably will have things to discuss as well. The family favors girls over boys. Maybe there really will be common topics."

Xiao Shiyao said that and couldn’t help but imagine that scenario. Three grown men, coming to a sorrowful point, holding their heads and sobbing, making Xiao Shiyao laugh uncontrollably.

This left Xu Haoyang utterly confused. He didn’t know what Xiao Shiyao was laughing about. He couldn’t fathom what could make Xiao Shiyao laugh like this.

"Yaoyao, what are you laughing at?"

"No, nothing." Xiao Shiyao couldn’t possibly tell Xu Haoyang what she was laughing about. "By the way, what should we do now? Should we go check out the banquet?"

"No need, I think it’s actually better if we don’t go. Let them have their own discussion, it’s better." Xu Haoyang flatly refused. Going there now would mean facing his future father-in-law, and he didn’t want to face his naturally cold aura — too terrifying, too much pressure.

He believed his dad should be able to handle it.

"That makes sense, if we were there, it would be harder for them to talk. Okay then, I’m going back, see you tomorrow," thought Xiao Shiyao. She and Xu Haoyang were dating and she felt quite good about him.

But they had just started dating and it wasn’t time to think about marriage yet. Meeting the parents now would be too soon.

Knowing that his future in-laws were busy tonight and wouldn’t have time to look after Xiao Shiyao, Xu Haoyang thought it could be a good chance to spend more time with her. Unexpectedly, Xiao Shiyao was not cooperative at all and showed no sign of wanting to stay.

"Hey, Yaoyao, you’re leaving just like that?" Knowing that his future father-in-law was not at home and no one was there to watch his every move, Xu Haoyang felt more courageous.

"Otherwise?" Xiao Shiyao withdrew her hand that was already on the car door, turned her head, and looked at Xu Haoyang questioningly. "At this time, if we go for a movie, by the time we return, we might just run into my parents. You know better than I do what they would do to you then."

Xu Haoyang felt wronged. Is this his dear girlfriend? No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like his dear girlfriend was quite happy to see him getting disciplined by her future father-in-law, even somewhat gloating.

"Yaoyao, you actually don’t mind me getting disciplined by your dad?"

"There’s nothing to mind about. If my dad lays a hand on you, it must be because you did something to displease him, or something that wronged me. Otherwise, my dad wouldn’t just strike for no reason," Xiao Shiyao said proudly.

No matter what, Xu Haoyang’s place in her heart was nowhere near her parents’. She wasn’t one of those who would get so lost in love that they would forsake their own family.

"Anyway, Xu Haoyang, for now, you are far from being as important as my parents are to me," Xiao Shiyao said frankly. What she thought in her heart, she didn’t want to hide as she felt there was nothing to hide.

"I know that, don’t worry, I will work hard. But, before that, could you give me some motivation to strive harder?" Xu Haoyang looked at Xiao Shiyao with a cheeky grin.

For some reason, seeing Xu Haoyang like this made Xiao Shiyao feel he had ulterior motives, as if there was a tail wagging behind him.

"How do you want me to motivate you?" Xiao Shiyao was intelligent, and her EQ wasn’t low either. But when it came to relationships, since she had less experience, she wasn’t very knowledgeable and could be a bit slow to catch on sometimes.

"Can you give me a kiss? Just one. On the cheek." Xu Haoyang actually wanted to kiss her on the lips, but he was worried that by saying so, he would end up getting slapped by Xiao Shiyao. "Or, you could give me a kiss instead."

Xiao Shiyao didn’t expect Xu Haoyang to say that; her face flushed red instantly. "Xu Haoyang."

"Yaoyao, don’t get excited, just one, just one." As Xu Haoyang said this, he didn’t wait for Xiao Shiyao’s reply and leaned in to give her a big kiss on her cheek.

Xu Haoyang wanted to kiss her lips, but in the end, he didn’t muster enough courage. He was afraid that if he did, he might end up with a slap mark on his face.

Xiao Shiyao’s scent was a light sweet fragrance, so pleasant that Xu Haoyang loved it and even tried to find a perfume to gift her. He couldn’t find the same scent despite checking all brands. Eventually, when he asked Xiao Shiyao, she was clueless as she didn’t use any perfume.

That’s when Xu Haoyang learned that the unique scent belonged to Xiao Shiyao, and he became more addicted to it. Right after the stolen kiss, he was relishing the touch and the scent, his eyes squinting in happiness.

"Xu Haoyang, you dare to kiss me." Xiao Shiyao, covering the cheek Xu Haoyang kissed, widened her eyes in shock at him.

"I kissed my girlfriend, it’s totally normal. Yaoyao, you smell so good." Xu Haoyang also found, only after dating Xiao Shiyao, how thick-skinned he could be in front of the woman he liked.
