The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 907 - 427

Xiao Xuyang knew in his heart, but he didn’t know how to persuade or comfort her. He wanted to give Lu Xinyi enough security, to let Lu Xinyi let go of the aversion she held towards their social circle.

But he had said so much, and also told Lu Xinyi that his parents were different from the other parents in the circle. Yet, Lu Xinyi refused to believe it, taking his words as just sweet talk to deceive her.

"Lu Xinyi, rest assured, my parents won’t make you uncomfortable; they will only be happy, really." Xiao Xuyang’s words were old-fashioned, but Lu Xinyi still refused, shaking her head in rejection.

Xiao Xuyang knew no matter how much he said, it would be to no avail, so he thought to bring her back home directly, to let her see his parents with her own eyes. He was certain that once Lu Xinyi met his parents, all of her previous worries and aversions would cease to exist.

However, he never expected that even when they were at the doorstep, Lu Xinyi refused to get out of the car. This made him incredibly anxious. And because Lu Xinyi was pregnant, Xiao Xuyang dared not to pull at her, fearing that he might accidentally hurt her.

"Hey, second brother, why is your car stopped here? And why aren’t you going inside after getting home? Why stand outside the door?" Xiao Shiyao just so happened to be returning home, and, rather unusually, she didn’t let Xu Haoyang drive her; she drove back by herself.

When she got to the doorstep, she saw her second brother, Xiao Xuyang, standing next to the car with the front passenger door open, as if he was talking to someone inside. Her car was too far to see clearly who was sitting inside.

Only when she drove her car closer did she see who was inside the car. "Lu Xinyi? Why are you in my second brother’s car?" Xiao Shiyao was surprised to see Lu Xinyi and blurted it out.

Xiao Shiyao’s words were purely out of surprise, but to Lu Xinyi, they carried a different implication. Right then and there, her complexion turned pale.

Hearing his sister Xiao Shiyao’s words, Xiao Xuyang inwardly cursed at the bad timing. Lu Xinyi was already nervous, fearing his parents would be like the parents of her cousin’s boyfriend, and now she must have misunderstood his sister’s words.

He was just about to tell Xiao Shiyao to be careful with her words.

But before he could speak, Xiao Shiyao had already turned off her car engine and then directly stepped out.

"Second brother, not bad, you’ve moved quite swiftly. It was just a while ago you asked me for help, and now you’ve already whisked her back home. You’re really quick. Are you bringing Lu Xinyi home to meet mom and dad today? Hey, does that mean I can start calling Lu Xinyi ’second sister-in-law’? By the way, if I do change how I address her, is there a fee for that?" Xiao Shiyao rambled on after getting out of the car.

Furthermore, as she spoke, she made playful faces at Lu Xinyi.

Lu Xinyi never expected Xiao Shiyao to come over, without reproaching her for having delusions of climbing up the social ladder, but instead teasing her with a playful wink.

Xiao Shiyao’s words made Lu Xinyi blush and turn away shyly, avoiding Xiao Shiyao’s gaze.

Seeing that the aversion in Lu Xinyi’s eyes had lessened, Xiao Xuyang breathed a sigh of relief, and the advice he was about to give Xiao Shiyao about being careful with her words was swallowed back down.

"Yaoyao, aren’t you getting things mixed up? Shouldn’t you be the one giving Xinyi a fee for changing address?"

"Second brother, are you dumb? Why should I pay the second sister-in-law? I’m the younger sister, do you understand?" Xiao Shiyao retorted, giving her second brother an impatient roll of the eyes.

She had actually thought her second brother was capable enough to quickly win someone over. But upon stepping out of the car, she realized she was mistaken. It seems her second brother tried a trick, directly bringing the girl home to meet the parents and settling things straight away.

However, here he was, having brought the girl to the doorstep, and she doesn’t want to come inside. How awkward.

Seeing that her second brother was quite advanced in age but rarely took such an interest, Xiao Shiyao begrudgingly reached out to help. "Xinyi, come on, let’s go inside. Ignore my second brother. He’s just not thinking straight."

Saying so, Xiao Shiyao stepped forward to link arms with Lu Xinyi.

"Shiyao, I..." Lu Xinyi started, wanting to tell Xiao Shiyao that she wasn’t ready to go in yet, that she and Xiao Xuyang hadn’t reached the point of meeting the parents.

But Xiao Shiyao knew exactly what Lu Xinyi wanted to say. "Aiya, forget ’my’ and ’your’, we’re at my family’s doorstep. If you can’t go inside for my second brother’s sake, do it for mine. You know, I actually quite like you. I thought you didn’t like talking to me, which is why I didn’t dare to strike up a conversation."

"I don’t dislike you. It’s just that we come from different environments, different circles. I was worried that approaching you too quickly might bother you," Lu Xinyi hurriedly shook her head, clarifying after hearing Xiao Shiyao’s words.

"Well, since you don’t dislike me, we are friends now. Come in, let’s sit for a bit. My mom’s pastries are quite good; give them a try."

Lu Xinyi could turn down Xiao Xuyang, but she couldn’t refuse Xiao Shiyao.

Invited by Xiao Shiyao like this, she could only follow Xiao Shiyao through the Xiao Family’s gates. She comforted herself by thinking she was just visiting a classmate’s home.

Situ Xin and the others had already seen all this from inside the house. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Situ Xin saw that her son hadn’t been able to invite the girl into their home for quite a while and knew that her son had played a trick, leading the girl back home to meet them. Since she didn’t understand Lu Xinyi,

She was clueless about what trick her son was trying to pull off.

Standing in the living room in front of the large French windows and watching the scene unfold, Situ Xin was incredibly anxious. She had prepared to do it herself, to personally invite the girl into their home.

But before she could act, she saw her daughter had returned.

"Yangyang is really so useless, he can’t even woo a girl and has to let his younger sister help," Situ Xin exclaimed, frustrated at his ineffectiveness.

However, it was precisely because of this that Situ Xin became even more curious about Lu Xinyi.

She considered her second son to be both handsome and with a good status, having not just the ability, but also his own career at a young age. Besides that, he was known for his integrity, unlike his counterparts in their circle who were known for philandering.

So, why wouldn’t this girl be interested in her son?

It never occurred to Situ Xin that the very reason that Lu Xinyi was resisting Xiao Xuyang’s advances was precisely because Xiao Xuyang was too excellent.
