Master Xiao, Your Wife Has Reborn

Chapter 229 Showcasing One’s Talent

Xi Chenxiao looked at Max in surprise when he read her lips. He did not expect his young wife to have already seen through it. He held Su Jin’s hand in satisfaction and suddenly felt quite proud that he married well. Xi Chenxiao said calmly,

“Not bad, this wife I married was a treasure!”

Su Jin blushed. She retracted her hand and looked at Xi Chenxiao, surprised that the devil actually said those words.

“Boss, I didn’t expect that a ten-thousand-year-old iceberg like you, an old straight man, could actually…”

Before Su Jin could finish, Xi Chenxiao stared at her coldly. The aura around him instantly became much colder. The ice devil’s back. He looked at Su Jin unhappily and said,

“Su Jin, who are you calling an old straight man?”

Su Jin felt immense pressure and her mind became clear. Her face stopped blushing and her heart stopped racing. She looked at Xi Chenxiao seriously and told a white lie.

“Actually, I wanted to say husband just now but there were too many people around. I’m sorry that I called you an old straight man.”

Xi Chenxiao smiled icily. He couldn’t believe that this young girl still wanted to lie to him. He saw it very clearly just now. She had intended to call him an old straight man. Su Jin’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Xi Chenxiao’s icy smile. Could Devil Xi know that she was lying? Her survival instinct made her smile quickly at him and say fawningly,

“Boss, I’m telling the truth. Please don’t misunderstand. How can a handsome man like you be old?”

Xi Chenxiao looked at Su Jin coldly and hid the smugness in his eyes. He nodded arrogantly and forgave Su Jin based on her flattering words.

“Fine, I’ll trust you this time.”

When Su Jin heard this, she wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead. Fortunately, she reacted in time or this old straight man would teach her a lesson. She had to be more careful when she spoke next time. Xi Chenxiao suddenly said,

“Oh right, you didn’t finish what you said just now, did you?”

Su Jin turned serious when she heard this. How did this old straight man have such good memory? Couldn’t he just drop something on a happy note? Why did he have to hear that sentence? Wouldn’t she be courting death by saying it out loud? Su Jin quickly changed the topic.

“I’ve forgotten. Hurry up and let’s go see Mr. Max!”

Xi Chenxiao saw the fine sweat on Su Jin’s forehead and let her off for now. She wouldn’t be able to escape anyway. He would question the girl properly when they were home. She’s letting on more than she knew and has a lot of secrets. He said lightly, “Okay, we’ll talk about it when we are home.”

Su Jin’s face was filled with helplessness. This devil still held a grudge? She’s already apologized, but he couldn’t move on? Seeing that Xi Chenxiao was ready to go over to see Mr. Max, Su Jin whispered, “Boss, wait, can we tell Mr. Max directly about his illness? His condition could be serious.”

“But, fainting just like that already shows that his condition is worsening.”

Xi Chenxiao frowned and thought for a moment. Even if Su Jin told now, people might not believe her. It could even attract unnecessary trouble. He responded calmly,

“Let’s not rush. These people won’t believe you. I’ll let you tell him when the right opportunity arises.”

Xi Chenxiao held Su Jin’s hand again as he said this. He felt very proud that his wife was so amazing. If these fools still did not believe her, they should just wait until they were slapped in the face!

When Su Jin heard Xi Chenxiao’s words, she instantly understood. She looked too young. Even if these people listened to her, they would only treat it as a joke. She felt very safe with Xi Chenxiao holding her hand and nodded,

“Okay, I’ll follow your lead.”

While the two of them were talking, Mr. Max had everyone drink to their heart’s content, letting everyone know that he was fine. The atmosphere became lively again, and when time came for Merlin to showcase her talent, everyone looked towards the stage.
