Chapter 1466: Chapter 1466: Driven to Tears
"Alright, who’s going to bully you, a kid like you? Just look at you; no one dares! Stop bickering with me. Send the lady back properly. If she gets even slightly hurt or feels any dissatisfaction, I’ll handle you slowly when you return."
After Wang Cuixia spoke, she was satisfied and left with Uncle Li. Watching their backs, Xiao Keyi felt like the obstacles in front of her had entirely disappeared.
"I didn’t expect your mom to be so easygoing, and auntie’s personality is just wonderful! Besides having a good personality, auntie’s taste is great too. The things she bought with me just now—I absolutely love them. If I ever have the chance to shop with her again, it’ll definitely be a pleasant surprise."
Xiao Keyi spoke earnestly and then opened her pocket, revealing the clothes she bought, all for girls.
Originally, Wang Cuixia wanted to have a daughter. Yet, out came a boy, and she never had the chance to buy girls’ clothes. Now, she has found Xiao Keyi and treats her like her own daughter, stuffing all the best things onto Xiao Keyi.
Although these things can’t compare to Xiao Keyi’s custom-made items, she’s particularly satisfied. Since young, she never had a mother. Now, finally, someone plans for her wholeheartedly, which is truly rare.
It’s like suddenly having a mother, and this feeling is really nice. If there’s a chance, she wishes to maintain this feeling.
Xu Ke wasn’t aware of Xiao Keyi’s feelings. He just thought it saved him a lot of trouble if the two got along well.
"Alright, you two are getting along so well I’m starting to feel like an outsider. Okay then, let me send you back. Your grandpa must be very worried, and your dad might be waiting too."
Though Xiao Zhen isn’t a bad person, having his daughter stay out is naturally unsettling.
Not to mention Mr. Xiao, who dotes on Xiao Keyi so much. Anyone who dares upset her should be ready for trouble.
Upon hearing she’s going home, Xiao Keyi felt a bit sad. They’ve not seen each other for so long, and with the rumors circulating recently, she was reluctant. It’s hard to find a chance to be together, yet she’s leaving so soon.
"I’ll explain to grandpa when I get back. It’s still early now. Anyway, grandpa won’t know today. Even if he knows, he won’t object. We’re justifiably together now, so why can’t we stay? Besides, dad’s just temporarily upset."
After Xiao Keyi finished speaking, her face turned red, and she lowered her head. As a girl, expressing her intentions was already challenging, but Xu Ke completely missed the point.
He even thought Xiao Keyi was shielding him from family objections and felt a bit sorry for her.
"You don’t have to go to any trouble for me. The truth will come out eventually. It’s better not to anger your grandpa. Plus, he’s getting old. If he gets upset, it could be a lifelong regret for you. Let me take you home now. If it’s any later, I wouldn’t be at ease."
Xu Ke spoke as he drove toward the Xiao Mansion, and Xiao Keyi’s eyes reddened with anger.
This is totally a dense guy. Why can’t he understand even when she made it so clear? How explicit must a girl be for him to get it? It really drives her mad.
Xu Ke heard sobbing from the side and froze, puzzled. He’d been trying to cheer her up all along. Why would Xiao Keyi suddenly cry, and so severely?
"What’s wrong? I’m bringing you home. Are you missing your grandpa? Don’t worry, we’re almost there. Please don’t rush; I’ll ensure your safe return. No worries."
As he comforted her, Xiao Keyi cried even harder upon hearing that, leaving Xu Ke unsure. They were on the highway and couldn’t stop; he handed a tissue pack to the girl beside him.
He kept mumbling, "It’s all my fault for insisting you come out. So when your grandpa scolds you, say it was all my idea. Alright, your grandpa won’t punish you heavily, trust me. If you’re scared, I’ll personally apologize to your grandpa."
Who needs you to apologize to my grandpa?
Xiao Keyi dried her tears and had nothing more to say to this dense guy. Anymore words could infuriate her.
After exiting the highway, Xu Ke noticed the girl finally stopped crying. "What happened just now? Did I unknowingly upset you? If my mom finds out, she’ll scold me. What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Should I take you to the hospital?"
It shouldn’t be like this; everything was fine during dinner, and in the car too. How did it end up like this? Could it be because Xiao Keyi dislikes him?
But it’s been such a short time; it shouldn’t happen so quickly.
Seeing they were almost at the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Keyi quickly tapped the window.
Xu Ke was startled. Could she be trying to force her way out?
"I understand; we’re almost at your place. Please don’t rush."
Xu Ke slowed down a bit, "It’s all on me today. If I hadn’t left work late, it wouldn’t be delayed. Something did happen in between; please forgive me. But I haven’t done anything wrong by you."
It must be because Jin Yina interrupted them, and Xiao Keyi was embarrassed to mention it in front of the parents, leading to the mood.
Hearing this, Xiao Keyi went speechless. If she doesn’t say anything, this dense guy might never realize.
She rolled her eyes and angrily formed little fists, lightly hitting Xu Ke, "What are you thinking? I clearly said it’s still early, and we haven’t seen each other for a long time. Why the rush to go home? Are you going back to play video games?"
Xu Ke was surprised Xiao Keyi guessed he’d play games at home, yet felt somehow connected.
"Yes, I’ve been playing games with your dad lately. It’s really fun, and he loves it too. After work, I plan to help him level up. Want to join? You’ll love this game. Let’s play together."
"I’m sure you’ll cool off as we play!"
Xiao Keyi: "..."
