am2_1 Chapter 10 Annul Your Engagement, Woman

His words were aimed at her.

His eyes looked as dangerous as those of a lurking beast, waiting to eat her any time.

Bai Xixi almost became breathless at his gaze. His growing anger made her panic.

At this moment, no matter what she said, he wouldn't let her off the hook.

Besides, if she answered the question he had specially asked her, no doubt people would read into it.

Bai Xixi pursed her lips together tightly and made a quiet sound of agreement.

She then changed the topic and said, "I will go find Grandpa now and leave you two to chat."

After she said that, she bent down and pick up the bottle on the ground and fled.

Sheng Zixiao sneered and thought to himself, "What a disgusting woman! All she does is rely on Grandpa."

He turned around to chat with his Ninth Uncle, wanting to explain the incident that had happened yesterday morning.

But before he could start, his Ninth Uncle had walked away from him with a cold expression.

"Strange how nonchalant the Ninth Uncle was today." Sheng Zixiao thought.

"Even more so than he was yesterday morning."

In the dining room. The dinner was especially lavish because of Sheng Yuansen's notification.

Servants served the dishes discreetly and carefully. Every dish looked delicate and delicious.

Sheng Yaozhong and his wife, who always came home late, were sitting in their positions politely. However unhappy Sheng Zixiao was, he had to sit next to them.

Opposite them sat Sheng Shinian alone. He didn't quite fit in because of his cold and noble posture.

Bai Xixi walked into the dining room following Sheng Yuansen.

She lowered her head with guilt when she saw that everyone was there and Sheng Shinian's face was as frosty as ice.

Somehow she became nervous whenever she thought of her relationship with him.

When Mr. and Mrs. Sheng saw Bai Xixi, they became noticeably unhappy.

The daughter-in-law they wanted was a rich woman of a noble family. Only in this way could their son consolidate his position. A broken girl like Bai Xixi would only hold him back.

The more they thought of it, the angrier they became.

Sheng Zixiao was too proud to look at Bai Xixi. He sat there playing with his chopsticks, looking uninhibited.

Sheng Yuansen glanced at them and patted Bai Xixi's hand amiably. "Sit down, Xixi."

He held Bai Xixi's hand and led her to the table.

Because there were already three people sitting along one side, he arranged for her to sit next to Sheng Shinian.

They sat quite close, but not too close.

Bai Xixi could smell the special minty smell of Sheng Shinian. She fidgeted in her seat and moved to the edge of it.

When he noticed what she had done, Sheng Shinian's eyes became extremely cold.

Sheng Yuansen sat down at the high seat and glanced at everyone.

He announced, "Xixi and Zixiao will get married in half a year, but from now on, she is a part of our Sheng family. No one can bully her.

"As for Zixiao, if you don't want to marry her, you can hand the position of vice president over and move out of the Sheng family.

"Anyway, if you don't like the wife I choose for you, you won't like the job position I choose for you either."

The determined words showed where he stood.

Mr. and Mrs. Sheng changed their expressions at his words and echoed.

"Dad, it is not as bad as you think. Zixiao just hasn't got used to it yet. He will like Xixi if they see each other more often."

"Zixiao, convince your grandad."

Sheng Zixiao hadn't expected his grandad to be so determined. He glanced at Bai Xixi disgustedly.

She must have said something to Grandad before they got there.

Although he didn't dare to argue with his grandad, he still said, "What are you saying, Grandad? I was flirting with Xixi in the yard just now. Why would I have done that if I didn't want to marry her?

"Xixi, what do you say?"

Bai Xixi's hand turned sweaty when she heard his question.

Sheng Shinian had already misunderstood her because of what had happened in the yard. If she agreed to Sheng Zixiao now, would he...

But if she didn't agree to him, Sheng Zixiao would hate her even more and it would be difficult to explain to Grandpa.

After struggling for a while, Bai Xixi pressed her lips together and then said, "Yes, Mr. Sheng is quite nice to me."

Sheng Shinian's face turned frosty when he heard what she had said. He pressed the silver chopsticks in his hand so hard that they bent.

Since the question had been raised, he glanced at her and was waiting for her explanation.

But she dared to agree to Sheng Zixiao!

Bai Xixi felt a dangerous gaze on her. She turned and saw the dark eyes of Sheng Shinian.

She panicked and looked away. Her back was sweaty.

Sheng Yuansen's expression became happier when he heard what Bai Xixi had said.

He said amiably, "Xixi, if that is the case, you should get in touch more often with Zixiao, so that you two can become closer."

Bai Xixi nodded unnaturally, still in a panic. She lowered her head and ate the rice in her bowl quietly.

During the meal, she was agitating because of the man sitting next to her.

After the meal, Bai Xixi intended to leave, but Grandpa had said he could only stay at home for a night and had to travel abroad tomorrow. He wanted her to stay.

And so she had to stay.

After chatting with Grandpa in the yard for a while, she stood up and walked up the stairs to the guest room to sleep.

When she was about to walk past a room, a hand suddenly reached out from the doorway, grabbed her by the wrist, and dragged her in the room.

"Thump." In front of her was a handsome man's face.

Bai Xixi's throat tightened and she said guiltily, "Mr. Sheng, Grandpa also went up the stairs. Let go of me."

Her voice was shaking.

There were so many eyes watching her in the Sheng family. She was really scared of being caught.

Looking at her worried face, Sheng Shinian said coldly, "Shouldn't you give me an explanation first, woman?"

Last night she had pushed him away, but today, in the blink of an eye, she was in Sheng Zixiao's arms.

Once he thought of it, he felt anger boiling up inside him.

Despite the fact that his room was big, it still felt oppressive because of his bad mood.

Bai Xixi was like defenseless prey and couldn't escape at all.

She knew he was referring to what had happened in the yard and explained hurriedly, "I came here after receiving Grandpa's message, but was stopped by Mr. Sheng as soon as I got out of the car. He thought I made Grandpa come back to force him into marrying me, so he... did that to me...

I tried to push him away, but it didn't work. Apart from that, nothing happened between us," she explained discreetly, trying not to piss him off.

Sheng Shinian stared at her. His eyes were as dark and deep as a cold lake.

After a while, he said, "If you don't like him, I will annul your engagement for you."

He sounded cold and tyrannical.
