However, even under such circumstances, just when Old Master Xiao thought Xu Ke would decline, unexpectedly, the other party agreed directly.
"Alright, just send the location to my WeChat, and I’ll head over tonight."
After Xu Ke finished speaking, Xiao Keyi let out a cold laugh, as if she’d heard a joke.
"Our family’s villa, regular taxis can’t get in, and they don’t run in this area. So, you might have to beg , and perhaps, out of the kindness of my heart, I’ll send soone to pick you up."
At this mont, Old Master Xiao spat out his tea; clearly, they were inviting Xu Ke, but sohow, his granddaughter’s manner made it sound like coercion.
Old Master Xiao was truly worried now; his granddaughter might not be able to pull this off, and this might end up botched again.
Xu Ke was indeed a bit helpless; this young lady was inviting him with an attitude as if he was desperate to visit. In that case, he might as well not go at all. Just as Xu Ke was about to speak again, a voice ca from the other side.
"Although I really wanted you to plead with , today I’m in a generous mood, so let’s skip all that."
"So just send your location, and I’ll co to pick you up."
After hearing his granddaughter say this, Old Master Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, even as he relaxed, Old Master Xiao’s caution was heightened; his granddaughter could behave like this over a phone call, what next—
"Grandpa, you all just sit tight, I’ll go pick him up."
After Xiao Keyi finished, she grabbed her bag from the couch and dashed out, while Old Master Xiao shook his head; once his granddaughter grew up, she was beyond control.
"I’ve never seen the young lady go out to pick soone up; it was a big deal before when she didn’t demand others to be her chauffeur, and now she’s acting as a chauffeur for soone else."
The butler spoke sincerely; indeed, those family chauffeurs, when picking up the young lady from school, sotis got berated if they were late.
anwhile, knowing that Xiao Keyi was coming to pick him up, Xu Ke tidied up his place a little, changed clothes, and washed the remaining laundry.
Just as Xu Ke was about to head down, unexpectedly, the doorbell rang; he thought it might be the landlady.
He opened the door, and soone stord in.
Holding a sun umbrella in hand, she entered, looked around, and shouted loudly, "Xu Ke, Xu Ke, where are you?"
As Xu Ke looked at this young lady, he erged from behind the door; this young lady certainly had strength, and upon seeing Xu Ke, Xiao Keyi pointed at him with the umbrella.
"Why are you hiding from ? I’ve called out to you multiple tis; this is ridiculous."
After speaking, and seeing that Xu Ke had already tidied up, Xiao Keyi was just about to pull Xu Ke out when the landlady, with shampoo in her hair, ca over grumbling.
"I say, miss, there’s no rush to find a man like that, you’re all over the place, even knocked my toothbrush to the ground. Can you be a little more careful, miss?"
And Xiao Keyi, dazedly looked at the landlady, "Isn’t this place ant to be open for entry?"
Upon hearing Xiao Keyi’s words, the landlady was montarily speechless. Looking around the hallway in this apartnt building, it was clear Xiao Keyi had been knocking and barging in.
Even when she ca up, she mistook the door number, disturbing many households.
After hearing the landlady’s comnt, Xiao Keyi’s face flushed instantly, having never lived in a place like this before and failing to reach Xu Ke by phone, she barged in.
"This old lady, I’m really sorry, I..."
As Xiao Keyi was about to apologize, the landlady waved her hand: "Just hurry and leave; you young couple are causing a fuss every day; by the way, don’t let it be too late tonight, if you disturb my sleep again, I won’t be polite."
The two quickly nodded along, and the landlady looked at Xu Ke with a grin on her face.
"You, young man, truly fortunate; renting here, and unexpectedly having such a pretty girlfriend. You better work hard; otherwise, if your girlfriend runs off, don’t co crying to this old lady."
Xu Ke was trying to explain, but the landlady cut him off again.
"Moreover, your girlfriend seems quite naive; if you don’t treasure her well, you’ll regret it, young man."
After finishing her words, the landlady humd a song and left with foam still in her hair, while Xu Ke locked the door and turned around to see Xiao Keyi’s earlobes were red.
"Why are you blushing? Didn’t you say to leave? Then hurry up?"
Upon hearing Xu Ke’s words, Xiao Keyi froze montarily, then ca to and clenched her fists, punching Xu Ke’s shoulder.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and leave. It’s all because of you, dawdling and not answering calls; otherwise, would the landlady scold us? It’s all your fault."
The two of them kept pushing the bla back and forth the entire way until they finally arrived at the old Xiao Family residence, which due to Old Master Xiao, was decorated in an antique style.
Xu Ke stopped the car, and the young lady opened the passenger door and slamd it shut.
"I say, can’t you drive a bit slower? I’m feeling quite dizzy; I’ve told you so many tis, yet you won’t listen."
Xiao Keyi was in a temper; just monts ago, if it weren’t for a sip of water, she might have thrown up.
Now, as the breeze blew, she felt a little better. Xu Ke turned his head to look at her, a hint of a smile on his lips.
Indeed, in the car, this person wouldn’t stop chattering, so he drove fast, but seeing that the young lady was really suffering.
Upon hearing the car, servants were already approaching with wet towels, bags in hand; seeing Xiao Keyi like this, she looked every bit the young lady.
"Alright, alright, you can leave now."
Xiao Keyi wiped the sweat off her face and turned, glaring at Xu Ke; if not for him, she wouldn’t be so disheveled, and barely into the outing, she had just done her makeup.
"Young lady, the al is ready, and the master is waiting for the two of you, so consider whether you want to head to the dining room now."
After the servant spoke, fearing that Xiao Keyi might throw a tantrum, strangely enough, Xiao Keyi didn’t.
"For Grandpa’s sake, I won’t be an to you right now. Alright, let’s hurry inside; otherwise, Grandpa will be anxious waiting."
Just as Xiao Keyi finished speaking, she saw soone moving even faster than her.
