The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 868 - 391

Xiao Shiyao looked at Xu Haoyang with a face full of worry.

"Xu Haoyang, stop drinking, you’re already drunk," Xiao Shiyao couldn’t help but speak out. She was worried about Xu Haoyang, she knew, by her speaking up, her dad and her two brothers would definitely hold an even worse opinion of Xu Haoyang. But seeing him like this, she couldn’t hold back.

Situ Xin didn’t stop her this time, she could tell that Xu Haoyang was quite inebriated, however, she wasn’t worried at all. After drinking the medicinal soup she prepared, one would get drunk for sure, but there would be no harm to the body. Once the effects of the alcohol wore off, he would be fine.

This was the first time she saw her daughter so anxious about an outsider. Of course, he was an outsider for now, as to whether he would become a member of their family in the future, that all depended on whether these two children were meant to be.

"Yaoyao," Xu Haoyang, hearing Xiao Shiyao’s voice, followed the sound and looked in Xiao Shiyao’s direction. Upon seeing her face, he immediately spread a wide grin, looking particularly happy. His eyes became exceptionally bright. "Yaoyao, I like you. Ever since I first laid eyes on you, I fell for you. From then on, you’ve been the only one in my eyes. My friends all advise me, telling me not to harbor vain hopes. They say, even Eldest Master Qiu didn’t catch the eye of the Eldest Miss Xiao, you, just don’t even think about it. However, in my entire heart, apart from you, I can’t fit anyone else," Xu Haoyang’s eyes turned red as he spoke, and he patted his chest, continuing, "I also know that I might not be outstanding enough, maybe not even qualified to stand by your side, but I still can’t help but want to try. More than once I’ve told myself, maybe I’m really just doggone lucky, that you’d notice something admirable about me." As he spoke, Xu Haoyang pulled another big grin.

Xiao Shiyao really hadn’t expected that Xu Haoyang would suddenly confess his feelings for her in front of her family. Her face turned red, and the blush spread all the way to the tips of her ears. Strangely, she didn’t feel impatient as she did when other boys confessed to her; instead, she actually felt a touch of sweetness in her heart.

Situ Xin was also shocked to see Xu Haoyang become so bold after drinking too much. No, it should be said, he wasn’t becoming bold, but rather, he had excluded everyone else, and now, in his eyes, apart from her daughter Xiao Shiyao, he probably couldn’t see anyone else.

At this moment, Situ Xin found Xu Haoyang more pleasing to the eye than before. She didn’t have too many requirements for her children’s other half, as long as they were in love, that was enough. As for other things like wealth and status, their family didn’t need them at all.

Xiao Muli’s face had turned so dark it was as if ink could drip from it, his intention was to get Xu Haoyang drunk and down, to make it clear to him that if he dared to covet Xiao Muli’s daughter, he should weigh his own worth.

But he never expected that Xu Haoyang, unlike those other young fellows, didn’t play by the rules. Getting him drunk actually made him bolder, daring to confess to his daughter right in front of them.

Hearing this mushy confession made him feel goosebumps all over and rage burning in his throat. His eyes filled with anger, he was contemplating whether to directly throw Xu Haoyang out of the house.

But before he could act on his thoughts, his dear wife stopped him, "Husband, we’ve had our drinks, and finished our meal, I’m a bit tired, help me back to our room to rest."

Xiao Muli clearly understood the meaning behind his wife’s words. This was to make space for Xu Haoyang. He was very unwilling, but since it was his wife who had spoken, he could only reluctantly stand up.

His heart was already beating Xu Haoyang up and down.

"Uncle Xiao, Aunt Xiao, my feelings for Yaoyao are genuine, my heart only has Yaoyao. In the future, I will treat Yaoyao well, if Yaoyao tells me to go east, I certainly won’t go west," Xu Haoyang, after expressing his sincerity to Xiao Muli and Situ Xin, still smiled, showing his big white teeth.

Looking at Xu Haoyang’s big white teeth, Xiao Muli really wanted to punch him and knock them out. But considering Situ Xin and Xiao Shiyao were present, he could only hold back, snorting and glowering at Xu Haoyang, but couldn’t really do anything to him.

Situ Xin didn’t say a word, just cheekily turned her head and winked at her daughter Xiao Shiyao.

Seeing her mom’s smile, Xiao Shiyao’s face turned even redder. This Xu Haoyang, really, it’s not like she had agreed to date him yet, but he’s acting as if they were already boyfriend and girlfriend.

Situ Xin took Xiao Muli’s arm and pulled him to leave.

Xiao Muli was reluctant, fearing that his little Red Riding Hood would be gulped down by Xu Haoyang, the big bad wolf. "Wife, we’re leaving, but leaving Yaoyao with this kid, I’m not at ease."

"You’re just worrying about nothing. Yaoyao was raised by the two of us, don’t you know her? If she’s unwilling, what can Xu Haoyang do to her? I actually think Xu Haoyang is not bad, at least, he seems really sincere towards Yaoyao, and his affection for her doesn’t seem to be influenced by the relationship between the Xiao Family and the Situ Family. His feelings are quite pure." This was the reason why Situ Xin thought highly of Xu Haoyang.

She’s quite accurate in judging people. Of those who pursued her daughter before, it’s not that they didn’t like Xiao Shiyao, but there was always some other motive mixed in. However, with Xu Haoyang, she could see clearly, his feelings for her daughter were quite pure.

What Situ Xin saw, Xiao Muli naturally saw as well. It was also because of this that he tolerated Xu Haoyang more than the previous brats, otherwise, Xiao Muli wouldn’t have been so gentle.

"Yaoyao is not young anymore, and she should be dating. Dating doesn’t necessarily mean that they have to end up getting married, right?"

Hearing Situ Xin’s words, Xiao Muli turned his head and looked at her with a particularly aggrieved expression and said, "Do you regret it?"

"Regret what?" Situ Xin didn’t know where the sudden grievance from Xiao Muli came from.

"Regret not having dated someone before me."

Situ Xin, upon hearing Xiao Muli’s words, was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Her man was jealous. "You’re getting the wrong idea, that’s not what I meant. Both of us are each other’s first love, which is so wonderful. So many people envy us."

Xiao Muli’s feathers were instantly smoothed by Situ Xin’s words. "That’s right, who else has the kind of relationship we have."

Xiao Xuqu and Xiao Xuyang, standing near their parents, were fed a ton of dog food by them. However, both had long grown accustomed to their parents’ constant displays of affection.

Seeing their parents leave, the two exchanged glances and had no choice but to follow and leave as well.

Before leaving, Xiao Xuqu glanced at Xu Haoyang and said, "This kid, he’s really struck it lucky."
