The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 878 - 399

"I’m just afraid you might misunderstand," explained Xu Haoyang with his particularly good-natured temperament.

His buddies couldn’t help but cringe at the sight of Xu Haoyang like this.

They felt so embarrassed by his wimpiness that they wanted to pretend they didn’t know him.

But they had to admit they saw it clearly now; Xu Haoyang had fallen for Xiao Shiyao, hook, line, and sinker. They had initially planned to talk Xu Haoyang out of clinging to Xiao Shiyao, but after witnessing their interactions, all those well-intentioned words of advice had to be swallowed down silently.

Xiao Shiyao saw all of this and had to hold back her laughter.

Xu Haoyang’s buddies were quite amusing.

"Afraid I might misunderstand what, exactly? To be honest, I’ve never really been. It does pique my curiosity, but my brothers won’t take me. How about this, after we finish eating, let’s go together." Xiao Shiyao looked genuinely curious like a baby.

Xu Haoyang glared at the person who had suggested going to KTV to sing earlier. What on earth was he thinking bringing the Eldest Miss Xiao to KTV? It was like he was asking for trouble.

It was meant to be a joke to make Xu Haoyang uncomfortable, but seeing his reaction, they realized that if they really dared to take Xiao Shiyao to KTV, not to mention Muli from the Xiao Family, even the Xiao brothers would have given them a hard time.

Thinking about the measures the Xiao brothers could take, especially the one who had suggested going to KTV, he felt completely deflated now.

Before Xu Haoyang could even come up with an excuse to dissuade Xiao Shiyao from the KTV idea, his buddies got cold feet and made excuses to beat a hasty retreat.

"Uh, sister-in-law, I just remembered that my dad called me for dinner, so I have to go, let’s hang out some other time."

"Yeah, right, I also remembered that my grandma told me I absolutely have to go back today, or she’ll break my legs."

In any case, they each came up with different reasons, some of which were so far-fetched that Xiao Shiyao almost wanted to laugh out loud.

In a short while, the once full table was left with just Xiao Shiyao and Xu Haoyang. The last person to leave even came over to pat Xu Haoyang on the shoulder, pursed his lips, nodded at him, and then left.

Xu Haoyang once again witnessed the formidable presence of Xiao Shiyao and the Xiao family members. They were truly something else.

"Did someone call you to have dinner? Or does someone need you to deliver something?" Xiao Shiyao tilted her head and asked Xu Haoyang, then she couldn’t help but laugh first. "Oh my, Xu Haoyang, your friends are too funny."

Xu Haoyang had his concerns and couldn’t manage to laugh. "Look, Yaoyao, you must believe me, I really don’t go to those kinds of places. There was just this one time during New Year’s that they dragged me along. But I swear to you, I just went there to sing and drink. I didn’t do anything else." Xu Haoyang was worried that Xiao Shiyao would really misunderstand, thinking that he frequented those kinds of establishments.

If Xiao Shiyao got that impression of him, he really would cry.

Xiao Shiyao hadn’t expected Xu Haoyang to be so hung up on this; she had said all that just to tease him, as a joke. freēwēbnovel.com

"How can you be so cute," remarked Xiao Shiyao while looking at Xu Haoyang.

Xu Haoyang was confused by the adjective Xiao Shiyao had used to describe him.

"Do you think that if you were a regular at those kinds of places, my parents or my brother would let you come anywhere near me? You wouldn’t even be able to sit here and have a meal with me." Xiao Shiyao knew her family well.
