Chapter 406: Stuffed to death with dog food
The dinner went much better than Xiaoshi had anticipated. After learning that Xichen was the grandson of a renowned cardiologist as well as a reputable doctor, Uncle Yun was no longer suspicious of him. After all, the Yun family was nothing in comparison to the infamous Han clan. There was no way a man with such an excellent background would be interested in playing a charade with his daughter. On the other hand, his daughter was a stunning beauty. Although it was also almost impossible for her to be affiliated with a man of such social standing, it was more believable for them to be in a relationship than to team up and lie to him.
Never would he have expected that these two incompatible individuals were, in fact, teaming up to trick him.
When Uncle Yun learnt that Han Xichen was one of Xiehan’s close friends, he was even more impressed. He knew that his nephew was careful while making friends. Based on this fact, he was convinced that his daughter would not be at a disadvantage.
...
When they were done, Uncle Yun left first and let the youngsters catch up.
As the two of them walked to the parking lot, Xiaoshi let out the breath she had been holding. She excitedly let out a squeal and launched herself into his arms. "You were awesome! What a sweet tongue you have, you have totally convinced him!"
After rambling for a while, she finally realized that she was hugging him tightly...
She awkwardly pulled away, wishing nothing more than to punch herself. She was so used to hugging her friends when she was excited that she forgot her manners.
Seeing her embarrassed little face, Han Xichen thought that she looked quite cute. He smiled and changed the topic. "You can ask your friends out a few times and let your dad assume that you are with me. I don’t think he has the time or thought to stalk you."
"Okay! Why don’t I treat you to a meal as thanks?" She added as she nodded to his suggestion.
Han Xichen would have readily agreed. However, although she was jovially inviting him, he could tell that she was conflicted about it. The meal was not a mere thanks. It was a way to entirely cut ties with him, so they would no longer have to see each other. Seeing that she was forcing herself to make a decision she didn’t know whether she was ready to make, he spoke up. "There’s no need for a meal. If you feel so indebted to me, you can owe me a favor and I will contact you in future if I ever need your help."
