Chapter 188: Cohabitation As A Marriage Trial?
As much as Su Yuxuan was furious, he did not blatantly, uncaringly leave his sister in the ‘lion’s den’.
He stormed away for a distance and he stopped. He was prepared to return to where Huo Chenhuan and his minions were and have a go with them for a few rounds.
Thankfully, before he could do anything, Su Yayan came up behind him.
Su Yuxuan was slightly taken aback, the expression on his face softened a little. “They didn’t stop you?”
“Why would they stop me? Brother, really, nothing happened between me and him last night.”
“If nothing happened, why didn’t you come home last night?”
Su Yayan’s words choked in her throat as she muttered remorsefully, “We’ve spent too much time on the island last night, and we forgot about the time. By the time we realized it, it was too late at night and unsafe to travel out in the seas.”
Even though her explanation was valid, Su Yuxuan could still point out obvious holes that were in her explanation. He huffed coldly and asked, “Who brought you onto this island?”
“… Him.”
“Now, who gave you such a crazy good time on the island, causing you to forget about the time?”
“… Also him.”
Only with two questions, Su Yuxuan had jumped to a conclusion. “Huff, forget about the time? I think he did it on purpose! He deliberately brought you here, blatantly dragged out the time so he could ask you to stay on the island, and went to your room on purpose…”
Even though her brother may have been correct, Su Yayan still tried to salvage what she could. “Brother, the storm was raging and I was afraid alone, so I’ve asked him to accompany me. Also, you saw just now, he slept on the floor and I slept on the bed. Putting the two factors aside, did you think he had arranged for the storm and pouring rain to happen?”
This time, it was Su Yuxuan’s turn to be speechless. Just like what his sister said, as powerful as Huo Chenhuan may be, he could not control the weather, he could not order the storm around.
So, this was all a coincidence? Were the heavens on his side too?
As soon as this thought appeared, Su Yuxuan’s facial expressions darkened. Huff, how infuriating!
Su Yayan saw the several changes that had happened on her brother’s face and how it became darker and darker, she lamented in her heart and changed the topic quickly. “Brother, how did you come here? Shouldn’t you be in the office at this hour?”
“How is work more important than you?” Su Yuxuan’s face was murderous. He huffed coldly. “You didn’t come home last night, your phone is unreachable, dad and mom nearly called the cops.”
Su Yayan’s face was clad with embarra.s.sment. “No one told you guys that I’m not coming back?”
It was better when Su Yayan did not bring this up, but since she did, Su Yuxuan’s face became more murderous. “Of course there was. It’s precisely because he came to our house and announced that you’re not coming back, and would be staying over at his Young Master’s house, dad and mom became more anxious! You guys aren’t married yet and you’re already staying at his house. What would people say about you again once the news had gone out?”
They were worried that something might have happened to Su Yayan when her phone was unreachable, but after knowing that she was okay, as much as they were relieved, they had new things to worry about.
The news of Su’s and Huo’s getting caught in a row had already caused Su Yayan to be the target of much slander, so once the world knew about what had happened today, she would surely be the target of more infuriating words.
Su Yayan’s face was filled with awkwardness as she grimaced. “This is such a secluded place, so no one would know, right? Besides, we’re engaged. It’s perfectly normal to cohabitate so we can have a trial run of marriage, isn’t it?”
“You’re actually thinking about cohabitating with him to try out married life?” Su Yuxuan’s tone had risen instantly, and the glare at his sister was filled with horror and exasperation.
