“I told you before, remember, that Xue Ning would bring her boyfriend home today.”
Hearing what Xu Sin Xiao said, Xu San Zhien suddenly looked up. His eyes widened. His lips trembled. He looked at Xu Sin Xiao like he had gone crazy.
“W…What did you say?!?”
Xu Sin Xiao thought that maybe his father had hit his head hard against something. He had mistaken Bai Chen for someone else and even knelt before him like this.
He must admit that this situation created a great deal of surprise and incredulity in him. He had never seen his father kneel before anyone like this since he was born.
“I told you that maybe you have mistaken Bai Chen, Xu Xue Ning’s boyfriend, for someone else. Please get up.” Xu Sin Xiao shook his head and sighed. He rushed to help his father up.
Hearing what his son said, Xu San Zhien trembled violently and he felt slightly dizzy.
His pale, fear-filled face was now flushed red with excitement. It was unbelievable.
“I…Is it true?” His lips trembled harder than before.
“Yes!” Xu Sin Xiao nodded to confirm it. He thought that his father really had mistaken Bai Chen for someone else.
Xu Jing Xie sighed without knowing it after seeing what her father-in-law had done.
She thought the same as Xu Sin Xiao did.
‘Maybe he overworked himself to the point his brain is experiencing problems. He should rest more,’ she thought and shook her head.
‘But it is still unbelievable that he would mistake Xue Ning’s boyfriend for someone and kneel before him like this.’
“Heavens!” the sixty-five-year-old Xu San Zhien suddenly yelled out. His face was extremely delighted.
If what Xu Sin Xiao said was true, then the Xu family was in luck to have a legendary realm cultivator as a son-in-law!
Xu Xue Ning’s face went pale. No, her flawless face had been pale since she saw her grandfather kneel and apologise.
Her pretty hands curled up into fists. She moved closer to Bai Chen and whispered to him.
“E…Elder Chen Bai, please forgive my great-grandfather. I know he didn’t mean to offend you.”
Bai Chen’s facial expression had changed since he had seen Xu San Zhien kneel and apologise.
Even though he did not understand much, he could guess a thing or two.
If his guess was correct, there was a high probability that the one who had been trying to attack him psychically was Xu San Zhien’s father, Xu Xue Ning’s great-grandfather.
Maybe the ability of the mind-reflecting bracelet had made the other party think that he was a stronger cultivator and send Xu San Zhien here to ask him to spare the Xu family.
And Bai Chen was correct.
“If I don’t forgive you, what will you do, Xue Ning?”
Bai Chen’s facial expression was back to normal. He looked up at Xu Xue Ning.
However, his words were like lightning striking Xu Xue Ning’s perfect body. Her face went even paler, becoming almost bloodless.
Without any hesitation, she inhaled deeply and before starting to kneel down.
However, before she did it, Bai Chen stopped her with his hands.
“To be honest, I don’t like what your great-grandfather did one bit, but because it’s you, I’ll forgive him this time,” Bai Chen said. He spoke so softly that only he and Xu Xue Ning could hear.
“I hope there won’t be another time.”
“T…Thank you very much!” Her beautiful eyes were wet with tears. She quickly thanked Bai Chen. “Please don’t worry. There won’t be a second time!”
She did not think that she had to tell her great-grandfather about this. He would not dare to do it again anyway.
He would be a fool to do it again, because making legendary realm cultivators angry and challenging them could lead to the Xu family, one of the five big families of Beijing, being wiped off the face of the earth as easily as brushing a grain of dust off a shoulder!
“A…hem!”
Xu Sin Xiao, who had been helping his father to stand up, cleared his throat when he saw that Bai Chen was holding his daughter’s hands and that they were whispering something to each other like they didn’t see him or anyone else in the room.
Bai Chen, seemingly realising it, quickly released Xu Xue Ning’s delicate hands.
He had held on to her hands without knowing it when he’d tried to stop her from kneeling down.
Xu Xue Ning’s flawless face reddened. She could feel embarrassment like she had never experienced it before. She lowered her head to hide her rosy cheeks.
‘I…I really like elder Chen Bai. I’ve fallen for him!’
Among all the emotions she felt, Xu Xue Ning finally accepted her true feelings.
Xu Jing Xie was surprised. She had never seen her daughter act like this before.
‘This man had really made our daughter fall in love,’ she thought and smiled.
“What do you think, father? Is he qualified enough to be Xue Ning’s husband? Do we also need approval from the other high-ranking members of the family?” Xu Sin Xiao had the same idea as Xu Jing Xie.
To be honest, he did not like that his daughter was in love with someone. It was only normal for a father to be overprotective of his daughter.
“If you think he’s still not suitable, we’ll probably have to break them up. Xue Ning will have to meet Wang Cheng Yong, the man whom you chose for her later. What do you think?”
“Nonsense!” Xu San Zhien burst out at Xu Sin Xiao angrily. “What do you mean ‘not suitable’?!? Do you think I and others in the family have the right to evaluate elder Bai Chen?!”
“Who cares about Wang Cheng Yong? If Xue Ning and elder Bai Chen are in love, of course, they’ll have our full support!”
“If anyone in the family dares to object, I’ll fight them until I die!”
“.......” Xu Sin Xiao, Xu Jing Xie, Xu Xue Ning, and even Bai Chen were speechless!
The facial expressions of Xu Sin Xiao and Xu Jing Xie could not help but grow wry.
‘Wasn’t it you who said that you’d like Xue Ning’s boyfriend to come here and be evaluated? And you also said that if he wasn’t suitable, Xue Ning would be sent on a matchmaking date with Wang Cheng Yong, whom you had chosen for her instead!’
The couple thought this and shook their heads tiredly.
