Chapter 385: I’ll Protect You
When Su Jin heard Xi Chenxiao’s words, she immediately stopped moving and lay in Xi Chenxiao’s embrace. She felt that Xi Chenxiao seemed to be trembling. For some reason, she reached out with one hand and patted Xi Chenxiao’s back as she said softly,
“Okay, hold me tight. Don’t be afraid anymore. What happened just now is over. I’ll protect you. Everything will be fine.”
Xi Tian heard this as soon as he got into the car and was stunned. His face then darkened. What kind of joke was Madam telling? She protecting the chairman? Also, when had the chairman ever been afraid? This was a joke.
Xi Chenxiao also heard Xi Tian getting into the car. The vulnerable Xi Chenxiao turned into the ice-cold demon king in an instant. He looked at Xi Tian coldly and asked,
“Have you found out everything?”
!!
Xi Tian looked at Xi Chenxiao who became more cold-blooded and ruthless after every murder. He could not help but feel nervous. There was too much pressure. But whenever the pressure increased, Xi Tian’s endurance grew stronger. Xi Tian replied respectfully,
“I’ve already asked, Chairman.”
Xi Chenxiao’s eyes turned cold when he heard this. He really wanted to know who had the gall to find trouble with him. Fortunately, the girl was obedient today and stayed in the car. He asked coldly,
“Who sent them?”
Xi Tian was instantly depressed when he heard this. He purposely left an a.s.sa.s.sin alive just to ask who was so tired of living that they sent a.s.sa.s.sins after the chairman, but that a.s.sa.s.sin had committed suicide before saying anything. With a strange gaze, he looked at Su Jin before replying helplessly,
“Chairman, the last survivor committed suicide before I could ask.”
Xi Chenxiao looked at Xi Tian unhappily. To him, this was an oversight on Xi Tian’s part. But when Xi Tian looked at Su Jin just now, he must have discovered something which he couldn’t say directly.
Xi Tian was extremely depressed when he saw Xi Chenxiao’s dissatisfied gaze. However, he thought that the chairman should be able to understand what he meant. He would explain it properly to the chairman when they were home. He then asked in a businesslike tone,
“Chairman, where are we going now? Are we going back to the manor or to the old residence?”
When Xi Chenxiao heard this, he turned to look at Su Jin with a hint of antic.i.p.ation in his eyes. The girl had not answered his question just now, and then something happened. He asked again,
“Girl, you still haven’t answered the question from before.”
Su Jin was confused. The devil had gotten out of the car just now, so how could he have asked anything? Although she was nervous, she would never forget anything. She looked at Xi Chenxiao with question marks on her face and asked carefully,
“What question?”
Xi Chenxiao was a little unhappy when he heard this, but he suppressed it. He held Su Jin’s hand tightly, and his heart raced. After all, their relationship would be even better after she met his family. He then asked expectantly,
“The question was – are you willing to go back with me to the old residence and meet my family?”
When Su Jin saw Xi Chenxiao’s expectant look mixed with a little fear, she wanted to laugh but dared not. She did not expect the devil to have such a cute side. She looked at him and nodded shyly as she said,
“Of course.”
When Xi Chenxiao saw Su Jin like this, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart. This girl was too good. As expected, she did not disappoint him. Then, they would go back to the old residence together. He ordered Xi Tian excitedly,
“Go to the old residence.”
Then, he looked at Su Jin again. He held her hand tightly and did not want to let go. He was afraid that if he let go, this girl would run away and disappear. He was still a little worried, so he asked nervously,
“Have you thought it through? You won’t regret it?”
Su Jin was confused when she heard this. What was there to regret? They were already married, so it was only a matter of time before she met his family? She replied Xi Chenxiao with a serious face,
“What’s there to regret? Isn’t there a saying that even an ugly daughter-in-law needs to meet her in-laws?”
Despite what she said, Su Jin was panicking. After all, this was her first time meeting the devil’s family. Would they be happy? Would they think she was worthy?
