Chapter 394 - Fickle

Chapter 394: Fickle

Xi Chenxiao looked at Su Jin who had been a little reserved the whole night and knew that she must be uncomfortable here. She wasn’t normally like this. This was not their home after all. To make Su Jin more comfortable, Xi Chenxiao rejected the old man directly,
“There’s no need. Xi Tian can drive us home.”
Grandpa Xi was very unhappy when he heard this. His grandson had always been obedient but today he defied his grandfather. It was unbelievable. He looked at Su Jin and thought that perhaps Xi Chenxiao was doing this for her. Grandpa Xi didn’t care too much and replied in a commanding tone,
“It’s very late. It’s not safe even if Xi Tian drives.”
Grandma Xi nodded when she heard this. After all, the old residence was located in a remote area and there are long stretches of uninhabited areas on their way home. It could be dangerous. Grandma Xi persuaded,!!
“Alright, I know that you’re a germaphobe, so we have someone clean your bedroom every day. Rest assured, stay here!”
Xi Chenxiao held Su Jin’s hand tightly. Seeing that she was still very reserved, he knew that he had to bring her home tonight no matter what. Otherwise, she would not be able to sleep well and be lethargic tomorrow. Xi Chenxiao replied firmly,
“It’s not because of that. We are just not used to it.”
Grandma Xi was slightly displeased when she heard this. Since they were already here, she wouldn’t let them leave just like that. Moreover, it was not that she did not like this girl, so she said to Xi Chenxiao,
“This is your home too. What’s there to be unaccustomed to? You’ll get used to it if you stayed here long enough. No matter what, you have to stay here tonight.”
Su Jin was a little disappointed when she heard this. The old couple clearly looked down on her and wanted to get rid of her. They even asked her to divorce Xi Chenxiao immediately! Why were they suddenly so enthusiastic that they wanted them to stay the night?
Moreover, they have stopped talking about her divorcing Xi Chenxiao immediately. They were completely different from before! Su Jin understood that young people nowadays could be fickle, but she did not expect that old people were fickle too!
Xi Chenxiao was still resistant but when he saw his grandparents’ insistence, he felt a little helpless. The two of them would not be able to walk out today without the old couple’s consent. He massaged his temples as he said helplessly,
“Alright, we’ll stay then.”
He then led Su Jin sullenly upstairs. Su Jin followed Xi Chenxiao with a look of surprise. Wasn’t the courtyard they went to earlier Xi Chenxiao’s room? Why were they going upstairs now?
Su Jin followed Xi Chenxiao upstairs with a face full of question marks. They arrived at a huge bedroom. The decoration was simple yet luxurious with an antique feel. Xi Chenxiao saw the doubt on Su Jin’s face and explained,
“This is also my room. I grew up with my grandparents. I moved into the courtyard when I was an adult and later to the manor where we are living now when I became head of the Xi family.
Actually, Xi Chenxiao moved so far away because he knew that he might be in danger and did not want to bring the danger to his grandparents at the old residence. That was why he moved out, so he had less worries.
Su Jin nodded to show that she understood, but she really wanted to ask Xi Chenxiao why his parents were not here. She thought she would meet the devil’s parents when they came to the old residence today but in the end, they were not here at all.
Xi Chenxiao was relieved after he saw Su Jin’s nod to show that she understood. Since they had decided to stay the night, they would stay in peace for the night and go home tomorrow. He stroked Su Jin’s beautiful hair and said calmly,
“Go wash up first. I’ll get the helpers to bring you a change of clothes.”
Su Jin nodded when she heard this. She then walked into the bathroom with doubt. Since the devil didn’t mention his parents, she dared not ask. After she was done washing up, she wrapped herself in a towel and walked out shyly. Xi Chenxiao was also wrapped in a towel when he walked into the bedroom. Su Jin mouthed in surprise,
“Isn’t there only one bathroom here? I went in to take a shower and you weren’t there. Where did you shower then? Is there another bathroom?”
