Chapter 868 - 391
Xiao Shiyao looked at Xu Haoyang with a face full of worry.
"Xu Haoyang, stop drinking, you’re already drunk," Xiao Shiyao couldn’t help but speak out. She was worried about Xu Haoyang, she knew, by her speaking up, her dad and her two brothers would definitely hold an even worse opinion of Xu Haoyang. But seeing him like this, she couldn’t hold back.
Situ Xin didn’t stop her this time, she could tell that Xu Haoyang was quite inebriated, however, she wasn’t worried at all. After drinking the medicinal soup she prepared, one would get drunk for sure, but there would be no harm to the body. Once the effects of the alcohol wore off, he would be fine.
This was the first time she saw her daughter so anxious about an outsider. Of course, he was an outsider for now, as to whether he would become a member of their family in the future, that all depended on whether these two children were meant to be.
"Yaoyao," Xu Haoyang, hearing Xiao Shiyao’s voice, followed the sound and looked in Xiao Shiyao’s direction. Upon seeing her face, he immediately spread a wide grin, looking particularly happy. His eyes became exceptionally bright. "Yaoyao, I like you. Ever since I first laid eyes on you, I fell for you. From then on, you’ve been the only one in my eyes. My friends all advise me, telling me not to harbor vain hopes. They say, even Eldest Master Qiu didn’t catch the eye of the Eldest Miss Xiao, you, just don’t even think about it. However, in my entire heart, apart from you, I can’t fit anyone else," Xu Haoyang’s eyes turned red as he spoke, and he patted his chest, continuing, "I also know that I might not be outstanding enough, maybe not even qualified to stand by your side, but I still can’t help but want to try. More than once I’ve told myself, maybe I’m really just doggone lucky, that you’d notice something admirable about me." As he spoke, Xu Haoyang pulled another big grin.
Xiao Shiyao really hadn’t expected that Xu Haoyang would suddenly confess his feelings for her in front of her family. Her face turned red, and the blush spread all the way to the tips of her ears. Strangely, she didn’t feel impatient as she did when other boys confessed to her; instead, she actually felt a touch of sweetness in her heart.
Situ Xin was also shocked to see Xu Haoyang become so bold after drinking too much. No, it should be said, he wasn’t becoming bold, but rather, he had excluded everyone else, and now, in his eyes, apart from her daughter Xiao Shiyao, he probably couldn’t see anyone else.
At this moment, Situ Xin found Xu Haoyang more pleasing to the eye than before. She didn’t have too many requirements for her children’s other half, as long as they were in love, that was enough. As for other things like wealth and status, their family didn’t need them at all.
