章節 5: Chapter 5 The Devil Comes
If it hadn't been for being snatched at birth, Su Nuannuan would have been the daughter of a death row inmate!
Turning her head, Su Nuannuan was standing arm in arm with a girl, playing and frolicking.
Realizing it was really her, Su Nuannuan seemed even more delighted. She let go of her female companion and approached with joy, "It's really you, Chaoxi, how did you know I was eating here with Brother Tianchen?"
With that one sentence, the atmosphere became somewhat delicate.
The girl next to Su Nuannuan's face changed slightly and asked her, "Who is this?"
With a smile, Su Nuannuan stepped forward and introduced, "This is my sister, Su Chaoxi!"
"Ah... so it's Su Chaoxi." The girl's expression was a bit strange, "I heard that she and Xie Tianchen..."
Su Nuannuan quickly said, "It's all a misunderstanding, my sister and Brother Tianchen don't have anything between them! My sister is already married, and her kids are several years old now!"
This explanation seemed more like an attempt to muzzle the girl.
The girl's face was full of strangeness as she gave a smile to Su Chaoxi.
But her eyes couldn't hide a trace of disdain.
Su Chaoxi's eyes narrowed slightly, and she smiled.
Su Nuannuan was always like this.
She seemed careless, but an unintentional remark could always land her in an uncompromising position.
Su Chaoxi looked at the girl, her gaze steady and direct, "What about me and Xie Tianchen?"
The girl, along with Su Nuannuan, clearly hadn't expected Su Chaoxi to bring up the topic again.
Su Nuannuan's face filled with urgency, and she stepped forward to whisper a reminder, "Sister, this is Brother Tianchen's blind date, the Gu Group heiress, Gu Qinglan."
"So it's Miss Gu," Su Chaoxi said with a light smile, "Xie Tianchen and I indeed had a thing during university, but I'm married now, with a happy family and life. There might be some unfavorable rumors out there, but as they say, rumors stop with the wise. Everyone has a past; there's no need to cling to it, don't you think?"
Su Nuannuan was stunned, not expecting Su Chaoxi to speak like that.
This presence was completely different from usual!
Gu Qinglan felt awkward.
Su Chaoxi continued, "I brought my kids with me, and my twin son and daughter are waiting for me, so I won't stay any longer and will take my leave."
Gu Qinglan felt even more awkward and asked, "You brought your kids with you?"
"Yes," Su Chaoxi replied with a somewhat helpless smile, "the children like the food here and insisted on coming. I should go now."
She waved goodbye to them and quickly left.
Su Nuannuan watched Su Chaoxi's retreating back, feeling that she was a bit off today.
Gu Qinglan glanced at Su Nuannuan and asked with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, "Didn't you say she came for Xie Tianchen? But it doesn't seem like it."
Su Nuannuan felt a bit awkward, but then she smiled brightly and said, "Haha, that was just a misunderstanding on my part. Seeing that she's accepted the situation makes me relieved. Oh my, I can't hold it anymore; I need to pee!"
She darted into the restroom.
But as soon as she turned around, her smile collapsed.
Su Chaoxi's most hated topic was her two children.
What was with her today?
As Su Chaoxi turned around, her face grew cold as well.
Su Nuannuan's schemes were truly low-level.
Yet it was these kinds of obvious and secretive tricks that she fell for over and over again in her previous life.
Su Chaoxi hadn't returned to her seat when she noticed a man sitting next to her daughter.
When she saw who the man was, Su Chaoxi's scalp exploded!
Why was he here?
Sensing her return, Xie Xunzhi called out, "Dad, Mom's back!"
The boy's voice, innocent and childlike, sounded like a demon's trumpet!
Xie Tianyin was sitting next to Xie Mizhi.
Upon hearing this, he looked over at Su Chaoxi.
His dark eyes held a deeply hidden malice.
The cold vortex within seemed as though it could grind a person to dust.
Su Chaoxi's heart felt like it had missed a beat, and her instinct was to dodge.
This was her innate reaction every time she faced Xie Tianyin.
Avoidance, repulsion, fear.
However, Su Chaoxi quickly steadied her steps and returned his gaze.
There was none of the feared panic in her eyes; Xie Tianyin's expression rippled, casually watching her.
It was as if he was mocking a disobedient hamster.
Su Chaoxi made herself appear calm and composed and walked over naturally, asking, "How did you get here? Aren't you on a business trip?"
Xie Tianyin carelessly fiddled with the lighter in his hand, raised his eyes lazily, and sneered, "I am on a business trip, so you took the opportunity, didn't you?"
Su Chaoxi's pulse raced, but she kept her composure, asking, "What opportunity?"
Brooding shadows covered Xie Tianyin's face, and his eyes flickered with suppressed rage.
He gently patted his daughter, "Go sit with your brother."
Oh.
Xie Mizhi was obedient.
Clutching her Long-eared Rabbit toy, she went to her brother.
After Xie Tianyin sent his daughter away, his gaze fell upon Su Chaoxi.
He tossed the lighter onto the table, making a 'snap' sound.
The kids shrank back a little.
Su Chaoxi instinctively held her breath.
He beckoned, "Come here."
Here it came!
It was starting!
Xie Xunzhi quickly held his sister in his arms, ready to cover her ears at any moment.
He couldn't alarm her!
But unexpectedly,
Su Chaoxi obediently walked over and directly sat next to Xie Tianyin!
There was no resistance, no screaming.
She was so compliant, she hardly seemed like the real Su Chaoxi!
Xie Tianyin's gaze deepened, and the moment she sat down, he embraced her in his arms.
The man's body was a bit warm.
Through the thin fabric, it burned Su Chaoxi and made her heart race.
His voice arose beside her ear, "Stealing my key, you've got quite the nerve."
