Chapter 500: He Pulls Her Into His Arms
"Um, next Sunday.""I’ll go with you."
"Huh?" Xiyan was a bit surprised, "You’re not planning to attend with me, are you?"
The celebration party will be full of people, and all from within the industry.
It’s practically the same as going public.
Ou Jue raised an eyebrow, "What, you don’t want me to?"
How could she not want that?
Who wouldn’t want their relationship with their boyfriend to be openly announced to the world?
And to be openly accepted with everyone’s blessings.
But...
Xiyan lowered her head, looking at her index finger, "Will Auntie Ou agree?"
Even though it seems Auntie Ou no longer misunderstands her.
But that doesn’t mean Auntie Ou would accept her being with Ou Jue.
Just as she finished speaking, Ou Jue’s phone rang.
He glanced at it; it was Mother Ou.
Ou Jue answered, "Hello?"
"Xiao Jue, where are you guys? Why has it taken so long?"
"We’ll be home in about twenty minutes, don’t worry."
Mother Ou was busy stir-frying, "Who’s worried about you? I just wanted to time the rice steaming. Don’t forget to bring Xiyan back, I cooked a whole table of delicious food just for her today."
Ou Jue: "..."
"You must be tired from the drive home, right? I’ll have the maid fill the bathtub with hot water, let her take a bath when she gets back, okay?"
Ou Jue’s expression was indifferent, "Mom, I was the one who drove for almost four hours."
"So what? The girl is delicate and can’t be compared to a big guy like you, can she?"
Ou Jue: "..."
After hanging up the phone, he looked at Xiyan, "You heard all that?"
Awestruck.
Xiyan held her cheeks, her heart feeling sweet.
Could Auntie Ou not dislike her anymore?
Could it even be that... she likes her a bit?
-
It was just noon when they arrived in City B.
Mother Ou insisted that Ou Jue bring Xiyan back to the Ou Mansion first.
Unexpectedly, they ran into Qiao Qianmo when they got there.
Not having seen her for so long, Qiao Qianmo seemed to have become much more reserved.
She used to always look so innocent and carefree, but now she appeared somewhat quiet.
Xiyan was completely unprepared for Qiao Qianmo’s presence, feeling a little awkward.
Grandmother Ou quickly spoke up, "Um, Xiyan, Qianmo is going back to Country S. She’s here to pack her things after staying at the Ou Family for so long!"
What?? Qiao Qianmo is going back to Country S?!
Xiyan was a bit taken aback, but saw Qiao Qianmo walking over to her earnestly, "Sister Xiyan."
"Uh." Xiyan was dumbfounded.
What’s going on?
"I’ve thought it through these days. It was my fault before, I’m sorry. But I know that an apology is useless, and I’ll make it up to you with action when there’s a chance in the future."
After saying this, Qiao Qianmo bowed to everyone, "I’ll go upstairs to pack now."
After about ten minutes.
Xiyan was helping Mother Ou and Grandmother Ou with setting the table when she heard sounds of someone coming downstairs.
Turning her head, she saw Qiao Qianmo dragging her luggage down alone.
With her small frame, dragging such a large suitcase looked exceptionally cumbersome.
Ou Jue fetched a bottle of water from the fridge, twisting it open as he walked over.
Suddenly, Qiao Qianmo stumbled, her suitcase tumbling down the stairs, her body also uncontrollably rolling down.
"Ah—"
Mother Ou put down her chopsticks, raising her voice urgently, "Careful!"
The young man’s steps paused, and he raised his chin to look over.
His gaze steady, Ou Jue instinctively caught Qiao Qianmo, holding her securely in his arms.
