Chapter 683 - 689: The Eve of the Wedding 5
After seeing Xing Chen, Ran Xiangsi’s little face was filled with happiness and satisfaction.
She hadn’t even had time to change out of her maid outfit, and she was instantly as joyful as a butterfly, flitting around the back garden.
She wandered around half a circle happily until her excitement was interrupted by Xingtian sitting at the stone table not far away.
"Are you comfortable hiding behind the curtain?"
The cool voice reached Xiangsi’s ears like a bolt out of the blue!
She stared blankly ahead, her mind completely blank.
She saw Xingtian sitting leisurely by the small stone table in the garden, sipping tea.
For a moment, she thought...
No wonder they are father and son, that tone was exactly the same kind of indifference and sarcasm!
But that wasn’t the point. The point was... Did Xingtian mean that he knew she was hiding behind the curtain just now?
Impossible... But Xingtian didn’t expose her at the time?
Or was Xingtian talking about something else, not what just happened?
Holding on to this glimmer of hope, Ran Xiangsi swallowed and walked toward Xingtian.
"Dad..." Ran Xiangsi called out weakly, cautiously watching Xingtian’s expression.
Even though Xingtian had acknowledged her, she still didn’t dare act presumptuously...
She always felt that the father role was very serious and terrifying?
Perhaps it was because she had been exploited and oppressed by Ran Zhonghai since she was a child?
"Hm, sit." Xingtian pointed to the bench opposite with a stern face.
Ran Xiangsi sat down obediently, only to find that the stone bench she sat on had a soft cushion, making it very soft and not cold.
Looking at the benches next to it, they didn’t have cushions.
So, this cushion was specially added by Xingtian for her?
Uh... She seemed to feel that the stern father actually had a soft heart.
Ran Xiangsi lowered her head, her whole body tense, feeling very uncomfortable.
For some reason, as long as she was in front of Xingtian, she always cared very much about her words and actions.
Xingtian poured a glass of water for Ran Xiangsi and said again, "Did Rui’er not tell you that you couldn’t meet for half a month?"
"She told me..." Ran Xiangsi deflated. Sure enough, Xingtian knew something.
"I’m not an unreasonable father-in-law. This is your first time, so I’ll pretend I didn’t see it. But if it happens again..."
Ran Xiangsi hurriedly promised, "There won’t be a second time!"
Now she was sure that Xingtian definitely saw her in the room earlier!
After Ran Xiangsi made her promise, Xingtian didn’t continue speaking.
The two of them, one drinking tea and the other drinking water, sat in a strangely quiet atmosphere.
Ran Xiangsi couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked, "Dad... Why didn’t you expose me?"
"Some things, once you know, you just know. Why expose it?" Xingtian continued drinking tea, his expression calm and serene, "Since you came here, we haven’t had a good chat as father and daughter-in-law."
"It seems... so..." Ran Xiangsi nodded. Seeing Xingtian less serious, he actually looked very kind.
"What happened in the past is in the past. You don’t have to dwell on it. Since you didn’t have parents growing up, this will be your home from now on. Xiuyun and I will be your parents. If Chen’er dares to bully you in the future, just come to me. Dad will stand up for you!" Xingtian’s words were meant to reconcile with Ran Xiangsi with a smile...
Although the previous events couldn’t be considered a great grudge, at least there was a barrier.
Xingtian didn’t want the future mother of his grandson to have a bad relationship with him.
Ran Xiangsi was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to come back to her senses.
A bright smile appeared on her face.
"Thank you, Dad!"
The evening breeze lightly brushed into the garden, a bit cool.
Xiangsi got up voluntarily and poured tea for Xingtian.
Xingtian also talked with Xiangsi about many things from Xing Chen’s childhood...
As they talked, Xiangsi suddenly felt that marrying Xing Chen was truly a good deal.
She had a husband, had parents, and in the future, she would have children too.
Happiness had come quietly.
