She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment Ⅱ Chapter 686

Chapter 686

Chapter 686: Discussing the Marriage (3)

Days were short during winter in Beijing, so the skies were already dark at 5 pm.

At that moment, the street lamps were lit up.

The three of them felt the biting cold as the wind whistled around them.

Biting her lip, Xia Nuannuan said after a moment of hesitation, “Dad, Mom, why don’t we go home first?”

She wouldn’t mind it so much if they made things difficult for her alone. After all, she understood how Shen Xiu felt. Given that his son had gotten married without so much as informing him, of course he felt like she had seduced Zihao.

However, her parents had done nothing wrong.

What right did these people have to be treating them like this?

Xia Nuannuan’s eyes reddened. Fortunately, the skies had darkened and her parents couldn’t tell. Otherwise they would be really upset.

Dad Xia frowned when he heard her suggestion. After a brief moment, he turned to glance at the towering gate and huge courtyard. Then, he laughed and said, “It’s okay. The security officer has to pass the message to the big boss and it might take some time. We can wait, we’re in no hurry.”

Xia Nuannuan’s heart wrung with pain when she looked at her father.

She knew why he said that.

He had been a proud man all his life. When had he swallowed his pride like this?

He did so now because he felt that if they went away, it would put his daughter in a difficult position with her mother-in-law, and it would make things difficult for his daughter ultimately.

His heart ached for his own daughter.

And now, for the first time, she regretted this marriage.

It was the second day of their marriage, but she wished they hadn’t registered it the day before.

Mom Xia spoke as well, saying, “That’s right, let’s wait for a while, it’s okay. You’re too impatient, child.”

Xia Nuannuan hung her head and did not say a word. Holding the cell phone in her hand, she said, “I’ll call a cab, let’s go. Let’s not wait here any longer.”

There would be few taxis coming into the villa district, and the one that brought them here had already left.

In order to leave, the only way was to call a taxi.

However, even the nearest taxis were at least ten minutes away.

Xia Nuannuan swiftly made the call.

Another five minutes passed.

Xia Nuannuan’s hands had turned as cold as ice.

Mom Xia stepped forward and held her hands. “Nuannuan, you must be cold. Come, let me warm you up a little. Put your hands under my armpits, it’s quite warm there.”

Xia Nuannuan was silent.

She felt tears welling up in her eyes.

She had never felt such shame, which made her curl her finger into a tight fist.

She was about to say something when, at that moment, the little side gate swung open.

Following this, a voice came from beyond. “Ah! In-laws! Look at you, really… I scolded Xiao Zhao. How could he make you wait here?!”

Mei Feng was wearing a mink coat, looking every inch the wealthy man’s wife that she was. She stood on the inside of the gate, smiling apologetically.

When she saw them, she approached the family at once. She grabbed Xia Nuannuan’s hands, saying, “Oh dear, Nuannuan’s hands are so cold! You must be freezing. Come in quickly! Come in quickly!”

She kept chattering, “I was watching over things in the kitchen after I called you, so I inadvertently forgot to inform the security officer. You don’t understand, this place is too conspicuous and we often have offenders trying to break in. So the security officer has always been careful to remain impartial. I just scolded him! That blind fool! In-laws, please don’t be angry.”

Her attitude was quite sincere as she apologized once more. Both Dad Xia and Mom Xia kept silent.

Mom Xia smiled as she took a step forward and said, “It’s nothing. I’m not angry. We just waited for a short while, we’re not angry.”

And then, turning to Mei Feng, she asked, “Where’s Zichuan’s Dad?”
