Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1027 - 1026: Reaching an Understanding

Just as the two of them were lingering, Su Xiao had already caught up.

Out of respect, Tangtang and Guoguo naturally felt embarrassed to run away again, otherwise, it might cause a big fuss.

Who knows what Su Xiao might say; he’s sure to spread the word about meeting the two sisters here. On this point, Tangtang understands him quite well.

To be honest, at times, they really do look like childhood sweethearts.

No matter how Tangtang felt, Su Xiao never considered Tangtang as an outsider. In his eyes, Tangtang was his future wife, nothing to worry about.

That’s the talk, but Tangtang herself didn’t see it that way. Deep down, she felt the handsome guy approaching her wasn’t quite right for her.

"Sis, I’m leaving. You’ll have to handle this future brother-in-law yourself. I’ll be waiting on you."

Guoguo ran out of the tea house with a mischievous grin.

She never got involved in such matters, believing her sister’s man could definitely handle another man.

Although, from a fair perspective, this man was indeed quite handsome.

"Tangtang, I haven’t seen you in so many days. Why do you want to run when you see me now?"

At this moment, Tangtang felt helpless. Is this man blind? Can’t he see how impatient I am, coming to bother me at this hour?

Little did he know, she’d cursed Su Xiao hundreds of times in her mind by now.

"Oh... well, I have something to do, so I have to go. Su Xiao, if you still want to be friends with me, I advise you not to tell anyone about seeing me today."

After saying that, Tangtang turned to leave.

Su Xiao was left standing there, dazed. What did he do wrong today? Why was Tangtang speaking to him in this tone?

Left behind, Su Xiao wore a puzzled expression, but at least he got to see Tangtang. Counting the days: it had been a while since he’d last seen her.

Halfway down the road, Tangtang suddenly turned back.

"Su Xiao, let me tell you, if you tell others about seeing me here, I won’t let you off lightly."

Tangtang’s face was serious, not at all joking.

Su Xiao was puzzled by her sudden coldness, but he heard from others that Tangtang had been getting close to a man named Xu Ke recently.

After seeing her leave, Su Xiao stayed where he was, with no intent to leave.

He had many questions: What had Tangtang and Guoguo been up to lately, being so secretive as if involved in something big, completely unlike the Tangtang and Guoguo he used to know.

"Sis, left already? A guy as handsome as he is came looking for you, and you just brushed him off."

Guoguo was still in the mood to tease her sister, but then again, Tangtang didn’t realize Su Xiao had feelings for her.

It was just that, currently, she had no feelings for any man.

For some reason, whenever such topics came up, Xu Ke’s figure flashed in Tangtang’s mind.

"You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting all day?" Tangtang glared at Guoguo fiercely.

Though it looked like a glare, her eyes were full of affection.

"Sis, acting as if you’re so ’big’—you’re just a minute older than me after all, really now?"

Guoguo fidgeted with her pinky, muttering quietly while looking at the sky. Her words were heard by Guoguo...

"What are you saying? So what if it’s a minute?"

In this world, a minute is still time. Because of that minute, Guoguo should call her sister, right?

The two sisters, playing and fooling around like this, quickly reached the street outside.

Today’s tea house visit was a bust; if they went back and ran into Su Xiao again, who knows what might happen.

"Sis, speaking of it, your effeminate admirer, why’s he in this place? He seems familiar with it."

Guoguo’s words reminded Tangtang. Indeed, Su Xiao shouldn’t have been there logically.

Seeing Tangtang silent, "Sis, what if he could help us somehow, you never know? With just our skills, meeting the tea house owner might not be particularly easy."

These days, without connections, nothing can be done; Tangtang understood this clearly.

But asking that effeminate guy for help felt quite reluctant to her.

The tea house looked picturesque from the outside.

But knowing someone she didn’t want to see was inside killed her interest instantly. Guoguo saw Tangtang was a bit reluctant.

From Tangtang’s standpoint, Guoguo understood her sister, after all, using one’s connections isn’t something to do often.

However, this time, they really had no choice but to use them.

"Sis, think about it: this is a clue we managed to find with great difficulty. If we give it up, we might drift farther from the truth."

Guoguo tried to persuade Tangtang.

But could things really go as she hoped? At the moment, Tangtang was conflicted inside, genuinely not wanting to approach that effeminate guy.

The man was indeed quite good-looking, but he spoke effeminately and was clingy, making Tangtang very averse to him.

If not for the bigger picture, she’d never compromise.

"Sister, have you decided?"

"Alright, there’s no other way now, do I have a better choice?"

Tangtang looked helpless.

In the tea house, two more lovely girls appeared. "He was just here a moment ago, how come he’s gone now? Didn’t he return?"

However, at this time, Su Xiao was chatting with the tea house owner; they were old acquaintances.

Su Xiao’s presence today wasn’t without reason.

The tea house owner invited him not just for a casual chat and a game of chess.

"Sis, how did he disappear in the blink of an eye? Could it be he’s already left? I just saw him coming."

Could it be her sister rejected him, and in despair, he left?

"Don’t say random things, he’s probably still here in the tea house. He surely hasn’t left yet." Tangtang knew Su Xiao a little.

Yet, now his figure was nowhere to be seen.

As the two searched, Su Xiao emerged from the third-floor compartment. Seeing Tangtang still there, seeming to look for someone,

he was suddenly overjoyed. Was Tangtang waiting for him?

"Tangtang, didn’t you leave? Why are you still here? Were you waiting for me?"

This man was truly narcissistic.
