Chapter 472: Anxiety
In the bathroom, Su Jin washed her face with cold water to calm herself down. After thinking things through, she started to put on her make-up. Since she had to give the devil an answer, she had look good doing it. But after she finished, she thought to herself – wasn’t she being overly anxious?
Su Jin then started to remove her makeup, thinking that it would be fine if she went as usual. After all, they had already received their marriage certificate. But after removing her makeup, Su Jin thought to herself – wouldn’t she be too unattractive if she went without make-up? Would the demon king dislike her? Would he think that she wasn’t worthy of him?
Su Jin was in a dilemma as she kept putting on and removing her make-up. After a few rounds of that, she felt like she was about to break down. This was too difficult. Why did she care so much about the demon king’s opinions? Could she have really fallen in love with him? Su Jin felt her heart beating rapidly in her chest. She looked at her nervous and shy reflection in the mirror and muttered to herself,
“Looks like I have fallen in love with the devil long ago, but so what? The devil stands at the top of the pyramid, and he had met all kinds of women. Why would he like an ordinary girl like me?”
Xi Chenxiao finished watching the instruction videos, but Su Jin still hasn’t appeared with her answer. He was a little worried and went to the bedroom. He was standing outside the bathroom when he heard Su Jin talking to herself. Xi Chenxiao felt strange; it seemed that his girl had some misunderstanding about being ordinary.
!!
Su Jin thought about her days with Xi Chenxiao since they got together and looked at her exquisitely made-up self in the mirror. It really did not matter even if she was a little ordinary. Didn’t the devil already say that he liked her? So, it’s alright for her to walk over there and tell him that she liked him too!
When Xi Chenxiao saw Su Jin like this, he gave up on walking over to her now. The girl was exquisitely made-up, and she was worried that he would not like her. This meant that the girl also liked him very much. Xi Chenxiao went back to the study with antic.i.p.ation. The girl was already made-up; she should be looking for him soon.
Xi Chenxiao sat quietly on his chair in the study and looked at the door with antic.i.p.ation. But almost an hour had pa.s.sed, and Su Jin had not appeared. Xi Chenxiao was suddenly a little impatient. What was Su Jin doing? Wasn’t she already made-up and ready to come to him with an answer? Why wasn’t she here yet? Xi Chenxiao looked at the time and could not help but order,
“Xi Tian, go and see what Madam is doing?”
Xi Tian frowned when he heard this. Although he was the head butler and head of security, they were now at home and Madam was a woman in her bedroom. How could Xi Tian, a grown man, go there to check on Madam? Xi Tian hesitated for a moment before he said,
“Chairman, it’s not appropriate for me to go, right? After all, I’m a man!”
Xi Chenxiao then realized that it was indeed inappropriate for a grown man like Xi Tian to check on Su Jin in her bedroom. What if she was changing or something? Xi Chenxiao nodded and replied,
“At least you’re sensible.”
Xi Chenxiao continued looking at the things that Su Jin had sent him helplessly while he waited for her. But Su Jin did not appear even late into the night. Xi Chenxiao realized that Xi Tian, who was behind him, was already sleepy. His expression was gloomy as he said coldly to Xi Tian,
“Go and rest!”
Xi Tian immediately perked up when he heard this. Although they were at home, he could not be careless. The chairman might be angry at this time. Xi Tian stood up straight and shook his head slightly; he had to do his job. However, he still asked in disbelief,
“Chairman, I’m fine. You haven’t even rested yet, how can I leave?”
Xi Chenxiao’s expression did not improve when he heard this. He did not know what Su Jin was up to. It had been so long, yet she hadn’t come over to profess her love. She had already put on her make-up, did she just give up? The more Xi Chenxiao thought about it, the angrier he became.
“Go if I tell you to. I’m still waiting for someone.”
Xi Tian was puzzled when he heard this. The chairman did not mention any prior appointments and up until now, the security guards outside had not informed him of anyone asking to see the chairman. Besides, it was already so late, and that person hadn’t turned up. It was a little too much. Xi Tian asked curiously,
“Chairman, did you have an appointment? It’s too much that the person hadn’t turn up after so long. Chairman, who is it? I’ll go and find this person for you right now, or I’ll help you hurry the person up with a call?”
