Chapter 616: Sorry About the Bother, Goodbye
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Su Jin heard Hou Wan’er’s snarl over the phone and knew that this girl must be stomping her feet scolding her now. Su Jin ate the cherry Xi Chenxiao fed her, enjoying the pleasure, as she replied,
“Must I practice if I’m serious?”
Hou Wan’er’s face darkened with displeasure when she heard this. She had been preparing seriously for this piano compet.i.tion. She was determined to compete with Su Jin on stage, but Su Jin didn’t practice at all. Hou Wan’er said unhappily,
“How can you be serious when you don’t even practice? You won’t be any good when the time comes!”
Su Jin smiled confidently when she heard this. Hou Wan’er still did not know her well enough. Why else would she say such words? Competency wasn’t something that could be obtained through practice alone. Su Jin replied confidently,
!!
“How can I not be any good? Does not practicing mean I’m incompetent?”
Hou Wan’er was very depressed when she heard this. Recalling Su Jin’s almost abnormal performance back then, Hou Wan’er knew that Su Jin’s competency was definitely not a problem. Such a compet.i.tion might be very simple for Su Jin. Hou Wan’er said gloomily,
“I got it. Sorry for the bother. Goodbye!”
Su Jin was stunned. She did not expect Hou Wan’er to hang up just like that. Xi Chenxiao took the phone away from her. As Su Jin watched Xi Chenxiao get closer, she couldn’t help but slumped down into the bed. She looked shyly at Xi Chenxiao who was on top of her and said,
“Hubby, don’t tell me we don’t have to practice martial arts today?”
Su Jin’s face turned even redder as she said this. Xi Chenxiao had been acting like this every day for the past few days. Su Jin really could not take it anymore, but she dared not outright reject Xi Chenxiao. Thinking about her aching back after, Su Jin said seriously,
“Hubby, look, we’ve already rested for a day. Why don’t we rest for another day today?”
Xi Chenxiao’s expression turned cold when he heard this. They had already rested yesterday, yet she’s rejecting him today? This was not good. How could they waste the long night? Xi Chenxiao said calmly,
“It’s better to work overtime!”
Su Jin was speechless. Overtime? This was not overtime, it’s being forced to open for business! If the devil succeeded so easily today, wouldn’t there be more overtime in future? Su Jin’s face was flushed as she said,
“No, I object!”
Xi Chenxiao smiled wickedly when he heard this. Object? They were already home, what was there to object? Besides, they were already in bed. Why not enjoy this precious moment? Xi Chenxiao replied directly,
“Objection overruled!”
Xi Chenxiao then kissed Su Jin’s red lips. The next morning, Su Jin was still sleeping soundly when her phone suddenly rang. Xi Chenxiao picked it up and saw that it was Hou Wan’er calling. He immediately rejected the call and then hugged Su Jin.
Xi Chenxiao was extremely possessive. He would never let an ugly woman like Hou Wan’er have any chance. Su Jin could only belong to him! Hou Wan’er looked at the time. It was already past seven o’clock. Why was Su Jin not answering her call?
After a few minutes, Hou Wan’er was afraid that Su Jin would oversleep, so she called her again. Xi Chenxiao looked at the caller ID and was about to reject the call when Su Jin woke up and asked,
“It’s so early. Who’s calling?”
Xi Chenxiao couldn’t let Su Jin know that it was Hou Wan’er calling. He did not know what this woman wanted but she kept disturbing their rest. Xi Chenxiao hugged Su Jin and said calmly,
“Someone unimportant. It’s probably nothing. Go back to sleep. It’s Sunday!”
When Su Jin heard this, she closed her eyes again in peace. She was exhausted after last night, and her back was aching. Xi Chenxiao saw Su Jin close her eyes again and gently kissed her forehead when Su Jin suddenly opened her eyes and said,
“Something’s wrong!”
Xi Chenxiao was shocked by Su Jin’s reaction. Could it be that his overnight stubble p.r.i.c.ked her just now? Why else would Su Jin have such a big reaction? Xi Chenxiao looked at Su Jin and asked calmly,
“What’s wrong?”
At this moment, Su Jin remembered that Hou Wan’er had called last night to specially remind her about the compet.i.tion starting at nine o’clock this morning. She would not be able to take part if she was late. Su Jin immediately sat up and looked at Xi Chenxiao as she asked,
“What time is it now?”
