Chapter 1292: How Could You Possibly Be So Out of Your Mind

Watching Xi Siyan interact with her parents so familiarly, Zhou Chengchen, although not sure what was going on, could at least sense that Xi Siyan must have had some contact with them while she was absent.

It was already dinner time, so after exchanging some pleasantries, they all sat down at the dining table.

Zhou Chengchen was to the left of Xi Siyan, with Zhou Qi on the right. She reached under the table and gave Xi Siyan a sharp pinch. Looking at him, he remained unperturbed, his face unchanged, not even a twitch of his eyebrow.

Zhou Chengchen became even more certain that he was doing it on purpose.

But they had just parted ways, and he hadn’t let slip a single word.

In frustration, Zhou Chengchen increased the pressure in her hand and pinched Xi Siyan hard again, yet he still didn’t flinch an inch, and instead, peeled a shrimp and placed it in her bowl.

Zhou Chengchen was at a loss for words. She knew he was calm, but not to this level, right?

Frustrated, she withdrew her hand and took a fierce bite of the shrimp to vent.

Aside from the sulking Zhou Chengchen, the atmosphere at the table was great, especially when her father and Xi Siyan were discussing some business collaboration. The mood was even livelier.

Because her father didn’t hide his admiration for Xi Siyan in the least, the praise in his eyes made Zhou Chengchen stare blankly. She had never seen such an expression on her father’s face.

Wait, it wasn’t entirely absent, it seems he had that look when facing Sheng Yanxiao.

Now he had that expression with Xi Siyan too.

Zhou Chengchen slightly shifted her position, silently tugged at Zhou Qi’s clothes, and then typed a line on her phone for him to read: [Bro, I think your ranking is in jeopardy!]

Zhou Qi glanced at Zhou Chengchen, just as calmly as Xi Siyan, and typed a reply: [So what should we do?]

[How about we throw him out?]

[Good idea, you go; I strongly support you in spirit]

Seeing the last sentence, Zhou Chengchen rolled her eyes at Zhou Qi without holding back.

After dinner, Zhou Chengchen finally understood why Xi Siyan was so familiar with her parents.

It turned out that when Xi Siyan was starting his business, both the Zhou Family and Sheng Family had corresponding investments at prestigious schools like Q University and K University, and Xi Siyan was involved.

Moreover, he was indeed impressive, and through a fortunate coincidence, Zhou Chengze and Xi Siyan had communicated long ago.

Although at that time, Zhou Chengze didn’t know Xi Siyan’s connection with his daughter.

Listening to this, Zhou Chengchen just thought the world was really small. No, no, that’s not the point. The point is, why didn’t she know anything about this, and even more, why hadn’t Xi Siyan mentioned it to her?

Zhou Chengchen pouted, looking at Xi Siyan with increasingly unfriendly eyes. Was teasing her fun? Hmph!

"Si Yan, speaking of which, I’ve always had a question I’m really curious about. I’d like to ask you."

Zhou Chengchen was eating fruit in frustration when she heard her mother say this.

Xi Siyan smiled calmly, "Please ask, Auntie."

"What made you so troubled that you ended up liking Chengchen?"

"Pfft..."

Zhou Chengchen was eating an orange slice, which was very sour. She just drank some water to alleviate it when she heard this. She immediately spat out the water and then coughed several times.

Xi Siyan gently patted her back and handed her a tissue to wipe the water splatters bit by bit.
