The phone rang continuously about three tis and then fell silent.
Su Xiaong thought angrily: Only three tis and gave up! Hmph!
She pulled open the quilt, took a breath of fresh air, sat up, and squinted at the phone not far away:
Ring again, ring again, if it rings again I’ll pick it up...
Just as she was muttering this to herself, the phone really rang once more.
Su Xiaong pursed her lips, holding back a smile, and amusedly crawled to the end of the bed to get the phone. However, when she saw the unfamiliar number displayed on the screen...
The smirk disappeared without a trace.
An unspeakable sense of disappointnt and dejection filled her, as she listlessly answered the call, "Hello..."
"Su Xiaong, you’ve got guts now, hanging up on your man’s call just like that."
The deep, magnetic voice of Yin Shixiu ca through the phone.
Su Xiaong felt like her heart took a heavy blow, with a "thump" it went...
Then she knew, she might really be hopelessly in love with Yin Shixiu.
"Haven’t you also gotten bold..."
She muttered, "Daring to say things like ’not suitable’..."
Yin Shixiu leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window and hearing the little girl’s muttering, the annoyance that had just risen dissipated, and he chuckled softly...
"ng ng..."
"What?"
"I love you very much."
"...Hmm."
"You’re not that ordinary, and I’m not that capable."
"Actually, I think you understand all these things, there’s no need for to say it again, but... I guess sotis, won are just so troubleso. Even if they know it perfectly well, they still need to hear it once more to feel at ease."
Yin Shixiu said this with a tone of helplessness, but... also very patiently.
After all, the person on the other end of the phone was his beloved.
Su Xiaong hugged her knees, bowed her head, and listened to Yin Shixiu’s pleasant voice.
"You think you’re particularly ordinary, so when others see no worth in you, you start to doubt if my love is inexplicable. But ng ng..."
"In other people’s eyes, I may be considered a rich, talented, and handso guy, right? So can I suspect that you love just because of my money, my power, my status, my family?"
"I didn’t..."
"See?"
"Others might think you’re up to sothing by loving , others might think I’m crazy for loving you... but only we know what Su Xiaong ans to Yin Shixiu and what Yin Shixiu ans to Su Xiaong."
"Shixiu..."
"Hmm?"
"I really think you talk too much..."
The gloom in Su Xiaong’s eyes shone with a hint of brightness, gradually radiating in the dark room.
"You can even make a piece of grass sound poetic..."
She teased softly, "And so cheesy too..."
"Eh, did I misunderstand? Isn’t it cheesy lines my wife wants?"
Su Xiaong pouted, "You just talk nonsense..."
"I’m telling you, girl, being lodramatic doesn’t suit you... if you think you’re plain, ordinary, then what is it to be extraordinary, remarkable?"
Su Xiaong raised her eyebrow, "Do you really think I’m good?"
Yin Shixiu smiled slightly, his gentle eyes reflected in the window, "I’m not stupid, I know what’s ordinary, common."
"But... why don’t they like , why do those in your world not like ..."
"Those in my world? Haha... Who?"
Su Xiaong blinked her eyes and whispered, "Like your mom, your dad, your family... uh, also Bai Shunyuan..."
Mr. Yin and Mrs. Yin’s issues are water under the bridge, Yin Shixiu could tell, the real issue was with Bai Shunyuan.
He knew the problem lay with Bai Shunyuan.
"ng ng, that’s where you’re wrong."
"Huh?"
"Firstly, your positioning is wrong, my parents are antiques, as for those relatives, you should refer to ng ng’s parents, refer to Ming Lang who likes you a lot, not those Chairman Gu’s types like my parents."
"Secondly, asuring Bai Shunyuan with my standard, isn’t that a bit of an insult to ?"
"Pff..."
Su Xiaong burst into laughter suddenly, "Can you stop being so narcissistic?"
"If everyone could have such discerning eyes, would it be my turn then?"
"Um... I like to hear that."
Seeing Su Xiaong in a better mood, Yin Shixiu felt relieved, "Stop overthinking, listening to everybody’s opinions will bring you undue suffering."
"Um... I don’t listen to everyone’s opinions..."
Su Xiaong denied a bit sheepishly.
"Even if you don’t trust yourself, you should trust your husband’s judgnt, shouldn’t you?"
"Hmph, must you always flatter yourself within three sentences?"
Su Xiaong lay down with the phone, wrapping herself up in the quilt again...
"Going to sleep?"
"...Are you busy?"
"No, just finished a eting, resting now, it’s Christmas Eve, most employees have the day off."
"Then... stay with a little longer."
Su Xiaong murmured.
"Miss ?"
"Um... a little starved for love."
"Love-starved... or needy?"
Su Xiaong’s drowsy brain instantly cleared, then her eyes widened, her face flushed.
She truly admired how Yin Shixiu could make her tongue-tied with just a few words!
"Surely you’re not... feeling it now?"
"Yin Shixiu, you’re such a rascal!"
"Haha... don’t worry, back tomorrow."
"Who’s worried!"
"Then should I stay a couple more days?"
"I dare you!"
"Haha, wouldn’t dare, wouldn’t dare."
Yin Shixiu quickly responded.
Su Xiaong took a soft breath and then said, "Shixiu... today, Bai Shunyuan said so very harsh things to ..."
Yin Shixiu’s eyes darkened, "What did he say?"
"He said he really dislikes , thinks it’s embarrassing to be cousins with ..."
"I feel hurt..."
"Xiao ng, whether it’s relatives from the Bai family or Yin family, you don’t need to cater to them."
"...Mm."
"Though your grandfather is your grandfather, you haven’t lived with him for these twenty years, and those relatives from the Bai family are also unfamiliar to you."
"...Yeah, really unfamiliar."
"No need to deliberately interact, the environnt Bai Shunyuan grew up in is different from yours, and the impact of being cousins affects you both differently."
"Yeah, I definitely don’t want to acknowledge him as my cousin..."
Su Xiaong said, but then pursed her lips and shifted the tone of the conversation, "But uncle and mom have a great relationship, I feel like having a fallout with Bai Shunyuan... will be awkward, and if mom knows, she might feel uncomfortable."
"Your uncle knows very well what his son’s personality is like, there’s no need for you to worry unnecessarily."
"...Mmm, I’ll listen to you."
After Su Xiaong said that, she yawned, keeping the phone by her ear, "What ti is your flight tomorrow... when will you arrive in Beijing? I’ll pick you up..."
"Arriving in Beijing should be around four or five a.m. Beijing ti... I’ll have soone book a place at the hotel, in the evening... let’s stay out?"
