The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 909 - 429
Chapter 909: Chapter 429
Lu Xinyi could only secretly glare at Xiao Xuyang. This man does things without informing her in advance. Moreover, he could point at her without blushing or flinching, saying she’s his girlfriend.
Lu Xinyi thought Xiao Xuyang wasn’t nervous at all, but in fact, Xiao Xuyang was incredibly anxious inside. He was afraid that if Lu Xinyi denied it the moment she opened her mouth, it wouldn’t just be his own embarrassment. Fortunately, although Lu Xinyi glared at him, she didn’t outright deny it in the end, which made Xiao Xuyang breathe a sigh of relief. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Xiao Xuyang and Lu Xinyi thought their subtle actions went unnoticed. In reality, Old Master Situ, Situ Xin, and Xiao Muli had seen everything.
Well, there was nothing left unclear, Xiao Xuyang hadn’t yet won the girl over. However, they wondered why Xiao Xuyang would bring her home before they were even officially in a relationship.
Of course, there were many thoughts in their minds, but they didn’t show any of it on their faces.
"Great-grandfather, hello," Lu Xinyi greeted with an especially sweet smile.
Old Master Situ was quite pleased with Lu Xinyi’s well-behaved appearance. At his old age, he had a sharp eye for people and felt that Lu Xinyi quite appealed to him.
"Good, good, good," Old Master Situ showed a different face upon seeing Lu Xinyi.
Lu Xinyi had been quite fearful of Old Master Situ, thinking he would be severe due to his high status all year round. To her surprise, Old Master Situ was as kind as her own grandparents, which eased her tense mood slightly.
"Yangyang, your taste in picking a partner must be inherited from your father. Not bad, not bad," Old Master Situ said, including Xiao Muli in his comment.
According to Old Master Situ, it wasn’t Xiao Muli who had sharp eyes. It was Xiao Muli who had set his sights on his precious darling early on. If it weren’t for knowing Xiao Muli from childhood, knowing his character was good and his intentions towards his granddaughter were sincere, he wouldn’t have agreed so easily to their marriage proposal.
Embarrassed by the praise from his own great-grandfather, Xiao Xuyang awkwardly scratched his head and smiled foolishly.
"Xinyi girl, don’t be nervous. Our family is very easy to get along with. Since you’re dating our boy, you’re considered part of our family," Old Master Situ softened his heart, seeing Lu Xinyi always so restrained and said.
"I understand, Great-grandfather." Lu Xinyi was truly well-behaved, especially good from a young age, not the fake kind, so this didn’t make Old Master Situ, Situ Xin, or Xiao Muli dislike her at all.
"It’s getting late, and soon it’ll be time for dinner. Xinyi, you should stay for dinner and then head back," Situ Xin invited her.
Since she was his son’s partner and he found her agreeable, Situ Xin rarely invited someone to stay for dinner: "Call your parents to let them know, and if they’re worried, give Auntie the number, and I will call them." Situ Xin was quite considerate.
With Auntie speaking to this extent, it would be rude to refuse. "Auntie, I can make the call myself."
Lu Xinyi took her cell phone to make the call outside to her parents.
Seeing Lu Xinyi stepping out to make the call, Xiao Xuyang took the time to prepare himself emotionally—actually, to get ready for what was to come.
"Great-grandfather, mom and dad, there’s something I have to be honest with you about," Xiao Xuyang said urgently, bringing Lu Xinyi home. First, he wanted to give Lu Xinyi peace of mind and clear the obstacles between them. Second, Lu Xinyi was pregnant. While the timing of the child wasn’t right, not within their plans,
Yet since the child had come, it was also fated to be with them.
Ever since he knew Lu Xinyi was pregnant, Xiao Xuyang never thought to have her abort the child. He wholeheartedly wanted the child to be born.
And to have the child born, he needed to bring the subsequent matters into the open.
"What is it?" Situ Xin could see her son’s nervousness.
"That... Xinyi, she’s pregnant." Xiao Xuyang was somewhat awkward admitting this to his family.
"What? Brother, you..." Xiao Shiyao was startled by what her brother said. "It couldn’t be that you forced Xinyi, right?" Xiao Shiyao knew that until today, Lu Xinyi had kept a safe distance from her brother. Even coming over today, it was because her brother had schemed to bring her home, and now her brother is telling them that Lu Xinyi is pregnant.
Xiao Shiyao can’t be blamed for thinking the worst.
Not just Xiao Shiyao, but even Situ Xin, upon hearing Xiao Xuyang’s words, looked stern. Xiao Muli and Old Master Situ appeared quite somber as well.
Still, she knew what her own son was like.
Even if he was mischievous, he wouldn’t do such things.
"Yaoyao, watch your words," Situ Xin chided Xiao Shiyao before turning to Xiao Xuyang. "Yangyang, what exactly happened? If it’s as Yaoyao said, you know what punishment you deserve."
Xiao Xuyang knew his family had misunderstood. But this couldn’t be blamed on their wild speculations: "Great-grandfather, parents, and Yaoyao, you are all really mistaken. Do you think I’m that kind of person? This matter is a bit complicated, hard to explain in a few words."
If possible, Xiao Xuyang would have liked to share his troubles with his family.
However, with Lu Xinyi there, it was not appropriate to say more.
"If that’s the case, since it’s the girl’s first time at our house and she’s still here, it’s not time to dwell on these things," Old Master Situ was willing to believe Xiao Xuyang’s words, after all, they knew the family upbringing of their own children.
They wouldn’t resort to using their power to force someone—that was not something their children would do.
Now that Old Master Situ had spoken, Xiao Muli had no choice but to comply, casting an angry glance at his negligent son, deciding to deal with him later.
Xiao Xuyang felt a chill down his spine, knowing without needing to look at his father’s expression at the moment, just by this feeling, he knew his father had noted this and he would have to face the consequences later.
But this time, he was ready to accept the punishment.
Unbeknownst to Lu Xinyi, in the time it took to take a phone call, Xiao Xuyang had already confessed her pregnancy to his family. She had also told her parents about dating on the phone, but she hid Xiao Xuyang’s identity. She decided it was best to discuss Xiao Xuyang’s status with her parents when she returned.
