Xi Chenxiao’s casual words had a pressurizing undertone that brought Su Jin back to her senses. Even her heartbeat accelerated; she didn’t know where to look. She could only lower her head and reply shyly,
“Okay, I got it!”
Xi Chenxiao noticed that Su Jin’s face was slightly red, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. The girl was actually bashful. It looked like she did have some feelings for him!
When they returned to the manor, Su Jin happily entered the house and sat on the sofa in the living room. Xi Chenxiao followed behind; he took off his coat and handed it to Xi Tian as he said seriously,
“Have you thought about the question I asked you last time? Where’s the answer I asked for?”
Su Jin sat on the sofa and ate fruits that a helper had just delivered. She was a little confused when she heard this. What question? Hadn’t she already answered the question in the car just now? What other answer was Devil Xi expecting? She asked doubtfully,
“Boss, what question? When did you ask me?”
Xi Chenxiao’s face darkened when he heard this. Could this girl have forgotten about that question? She had the nerve to ask him this now? He glanced coldly at Su Jin and said,
“Are you sure? Didn’t I ask it?”
Su Jin felt Xi Chenxiao’s threatening cold aura and instantly became nervous. She really did not know what question he was referring to and she didn’t want Xi Chenxiao to teach her a lesson. She replied with a smile,
“Boss, didn’t you tell me that you will be away for a week? Why did you come back so soon?”
Xi Chenxiao looked coldly at Su Jin who was avoiding the question. Why did he come back? It was all because of her that he quickly settled the matter and came home earlier.
“Because I missed you.”
Su Jin did not know what to say when she heard this. She had assumed that the devil would reply seriously that he came home after settling the matter. But he said that instead. She didn’t know how to continue the conversation so she took out her phone and said hurriedly,
“Oh right, I have a problem with my studies. I don’t quite understand something and I need to ask my teacher. I’m going upstairs to study now!”
Su Jin then got up to leave. She didn’t want to stay another minute by the devil’s side for fear of her life, not knowing when the devil would explode and beat her up… But just as she was about to leave, the devil grabbed her arm. Xi Chenxiao’s eyes were cold as he said with a smile,
“You want to go upstairs and study? You can avoid the question today but there’s still tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!”
Su Jin could feel Xi Chenxiao’s breath on her neck and caught a whiff of his fragrance. Her face instantly turned red. Su Jin collected herself and cough lightly before she said,
“Well, I really want to study!”
Su Jin thought that one day she avoided the question was one good day. She would delay answering his question. Anyway, she wouldn’t let the devil find any weakness in her today! When Xi Chenxiao saw Su Jin like this, his cold heart melted a little as he said plainly,
“Alright, but you must come down for dinner!”
Su Jin let out a sigh of relief when she heard this. She had no clue how to answer a question she didn’t remember. She nodded quickly and said,
“No problem, Boss!”
Xi Chenxiao frowned when he heard Su Jin call him “boss”. They had been together for so long, yet the girl still called him “boss”. This was not good. The two of them were already legally married, so they ought to have a different way of addressing each other. He replied softly,
“Don’t call me ‘boss’ anymore, call me ‘hubby’!”
Su Jin was stunned. She didn’t know what to make of it at all. She could only run upstairs quickly, like she was running for her life. She went back to her room, closed the door and leaned against it. She covered her chest with her hands and felt her heart beating rapidly. Her face was filled with shyness and even a little anticipation!
Su Jin realized now that she was completely done for. She had completely fallen for Xi Chenxiao’s beauty. What should she do? She should quickly do something to calm herself down and get to work. Su Jin patted her chest, pretended that she was fine and walked to her computer!
However, when she sat down, she didn’t know what to do. Her heart was beating like a wild animal trying to escape her chest. Her entire mind was thinking about the question that Xi Chenxiao had asked her the other night.
“Do you like me? I like you!”
