Chapter 360 Explanation (2)_1
Xiao Muli’s character was something Situ Xin knew well, so she was certain that he was unaware of the matter. After some thought, she said, "Okay, you handle that so-called arranged marriage yourself. Once you’ve settled it, I’ll consider whether or not I want you as my boyfriend, how about that? Until you’ve dealt with it, I’ll pretend I never heard your confession." This was an extra chance Situ Xin was giving to Xiao Muli.
Upon hearing Situ Xin’s words, Xiao Muli felt as if a weight had been lifted from his heart. He had feared that Situ Xin would completely kick him out of the race because of this issue, leaving him no time even to cry about it.
"Alright, I understand. I’ll take care of it," Xiao Muli said confidently.
However, Xiao Muli could never have expected that things would change so quickly.
That very day, after parting with Situ Xin, he received a call from his assistant reporting some issues at the Xiao Family Ancestral House that needed his attention. After the call, Xiao Muli planned to deal with the matter first and then have a serious talk with his mother.
Since it was particularly late by the time he finished handling the situation, and considering there was a woman engaged to him by an arranged marriage at home, he felt uncomfortable. As a result, he spent the night at his apartment outside.
The next morning, Xiao Muli finally returned to the courtyard.
"Oh, isn’t that Muli? I didn’t expect you to have a fiancée already," an elderly lady said with a smile upon seeing Xiao Muli.
