Chapter 2098: Twin Sister vs Socialite Sister (Part 26)

A moment of silence.

Old Master Xiao even stopped watching his favorite show, turned around with his cane, and looked at his grandson: "Did I just hear ’granddaughter-in-law’?"

Xiao Cheng pressed his lips together and answered honestly: "Not yet."

How well does Old Master Xiao know his grandson?

Just from those words and his grandson’s current expression, he knew what stage his granddaughter-in-law was at.

Obviously, this brat hasn’t won her over yet!

He tapped his cane against the ground, not too light, not too heavy: "Then why aren’t you going?"

Xiao Cheng agreed and walked out.

He was just outside the door when he heard Old Master Xiao’s energetic voice: "Remember to bring her back for me to see!"

...

Xiao Cheng sat at his seat, keeping his eyes on the watch.

It was clearly something he should have felt assured about, but now he was feeling anxious.

He kept thinking, were yesterday’s conversations just a hallucination? Would she regret it after going back?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt like an idiot.

If this were happening to someone else, he would have them picking up their lost IQ in ten minutes with sharp words.

But when it came to himself...

Sigh.

He sighed lightly.

Indeed, when you care too much, you get anxious.

Although he seemed outwardly humble and polite, a gentleman from a prestigious background, and his life always a smooth journey, how could he not have a hint of pride deep down?

Not to mention far away, but even just two days ago, if someone told him one day he would be so anxious and lacking confidence because of someone, Xiao Cheng would have smiled faintly, externally pounding, internally cursing "MDZZ," and adding them to the permanent blacklist.

But now, Xiao Cheng thought expressionlessly that maybe the idiot was himself.

It’s half-past ten.

He couldn’t resist taking out his phone, wanting to call Chu Ming.

Just as he dialed the familiar number, he saw a familiar figure walking towards him.

Xiao Cheng flipped his phone face down on the table and stood up.

On the other side, after partying all night with friends, Chu Ming, still dazed, answered the call from his buddy despite his drowsiness: "Hello?"

No one spoke.

Chu Ming: "???"

He called out two more times.

Xiao Cheng watched as Gu Shengyin sat down.

It was only then that he remembered his phone, saw it was still connected, and immediately hung up without another word.

Chu Ming: "???"

He thought Xiao Cheng needed something and called back.

Xiao Cheng saw the incoming call and quickly responded.

Poor Chu Ming, looking at the reply: "I’m busy right now, can’t talk, let’s discuss it tonight," took a moment to process with his foggy brain.

Damn, who’s bothering you! Clearly, you called me!

He angrily tossed his phone towards his feet and continued to sleep.

"You can take the call first." Gu Shengyin said, noticing Xiao Cheng’s actions.

Xiao Cheng shook his head: "It’s nothing important."

He knew Chu Ming well, if there were something important, he would call you ten times in one breath.

Either you answer, or he’d annoy you until you block him.

Xiao Cheng handed the menu to Gu Shengyin: "Take a look at what you like to eat?"

Gu Shengyin glanced, not being polite, and pointed at several dishes.

Xiao Cheng seemed very happy with her straightforward attitude, and he added another three or four dishes himself.

After ordering, he handed it to the waiting server, watching Gu Shengyin without blinking.

Gu Shengyin laughed: "What are you looking at me for?"

Two updates for now, more later.
