Chapter 447 - Why Am I the Unlucky One?
Keng pondered for a mont before saying, “I might be away for about a month this ti.”
Su Ming nodded, adding, “The capital is quite cold at the mont. Make sure to dress warmly.”
Hearing Su Ming's concern, Keng's cheeks flushed a deeper shade of red, making her look even more charming.
She hadn't expected Su Ming to be so attentive to the weather in the capital on her account.
A girl with no romantic experience can often be deeply moved by even the slightest show of care from a man.
The BBQ Street wasn't far from the Xiao family villa. Upon Su Ming's arrival, he noticed a fiery red sports car parked out front.
He scanned the area but didn't spot President Chen. It dawned on him that President Chen must have already left.
Before getting out of the car, Keng unexpectedly said, “Thank you.”
Su Ming paused, puzzled by her gratitude.
Before he could gather his thoughts, Keng suddenly leaned in and planted a soft kiss on Su Ming's cheek.
Her face instantly heated up following the kiss.
Su Ming, already bewildered, was left even more speechless by Keng's gesture.
He could still feel the warmth of her lips on his cheek.
Neither Keng nor Su Ming had any romantic history. Although he had watched his share of adult films, Su Ming had no actual sexual experience.
“I'm going to get out now,” Keng announced, then flung the car door open as if to escape.
The mont she did, she jumped in surprise and let out a scream. Su Ming was startled too. Xiao Chen was gaping at them from outside the car, and behind him stood Keng's parents, Xiao Luomu and Yueqiu, equally astonished.
Despite the tinted windows of Su Ming's car, they were rolled down. It was already dark, and in her nervousness, Keng had failed to notice them. Consequently, the trio had seen everything.
The air turned tense in an instant.
Out of nowhere, Xiao Chen blurted out, “Dad, Mom! My sister just kissed my brother-in-law!”
Su Ming was taken aback. He had the urge to punch Xiao Chen right then and there.
Inside the car, Keng sat frozen, unsure of her next move.
She turned to her parents, biting her lip, and said apprehensively, “Dad, Mom.”
As soon as Keng finished speaking, Luomu imdiately gave her a thumbs up and exclaid, “Daughter, that was impressive! You've managed to captivate Mr. Su so quickly! That's exactly how I fell for your mother! Honey, please stop pinching my waist!”
Mid-sentence, Yueqiu's hand had already found its way to his waist and gave it a firm twist!
Keng was taken aback.
She had braced herself for her parents' anger, but instead, they appeared overjoyed.
Yueqiu said, “Daughter, you're not getting any younger. It's ti to think about marriage. Your father and I have been concerned about it. But now, we can put our worries to rest. Being with Mr. Su is wonderful. Honestly, there's no one in the capital who holds a candle to him.”
Yueqiu's grip only tightened as she spoke, causing Luomu to wince in pain. Despite this, he looked at Keng with a warm, affectionate smile. His eyes brimd with happiness when he turned to Su Ming.
“Thank you, Mom!” Keng said, breathing a sigh of relief.
She rushed to her mother's side and wrapped her arms around her.
Sitting in the car, Su Ming sensed that sothing was amiss.
The pace of events seed to be accelerating too quickly.
He hadn't even spoken yet, and they were already discussing marriage.
He couldn't shake the feeling that he was being ensnared.
Keng was not only beautiful and well-educated but also ca from a distinguished family.
He genuinely liked her, but sothing still felt off.
Considering how modest she usually was, her boldness in kissing him ant he couldn't just brush this off.
“Mr. Su, would you like to co in and sit for a while?” Luomu asked, massaging his waist and forcing a smile.
It wasn't that he was reluctant to invite Su Ming inside; the pain had simply been too much, making his smile sowhat strained.
”Uncle Xiao, please don't call Mr. Su anymore,” Su Ming responded.
“You're my elder, and I'm the younger one here. Just call Su from now on.”
With that, Su Ming stepped out of the car.
Su Ming had ntioned this several tis already.
Whether it was Old Master Tang or Old Master Qin, both esteed elders seed to disregard his words.
Xiao Luomu chuckled and said, “No worries. Once you and Keng tie the knot, you can call Dad, and I'll address you as Sir. No conflict there.”
Su Ming blinked, sensing a strange familiarity with the phrase.
“Mr. Su, are you pressed for ti? If not, co inside for a cup of tea before you leave,” Yueqiu invited.
Su Ming nodded, “Sure.”
Xiao Luomu, Yueqiu, Su Ming, and Xiao Ke'er made their way toward the villa.
Xiao Chen stood frozen, watching their retreating figures.
He was still there!
Was he truly that inconspicuous?
Unable to contain himself, Xiao Chen blurted out, “Sis, brother-in-law, I…”
”I forgot about you. Co on over,” Xiao Ke'er called out, turning around with a smile.
“I always knew my sister cared about the most!” Xiao Chen exclaid joyfully as he ran to Xiao Ke'er.
With a grin, Xiao Ke'er instructed, “Later, head to the study and copy the Tritric Classic five more tis!”
Xiao Chen was bewildered.
Why did he suddenly have to write out the Tritric Classic five tis?
He had spent the afternoon copying it as a punishnt.
No sooner had he finished than a new punishnt was assigned.
Why was it always him facing misfortune?
“Why?” Xiao Chen asked, his face a picture of confusion.
”Because you startled just now,” Xiao Ke'er explained.
“Dad, Mom, my sister is picking on ,” Xiao Chen appealed to his parents.
”Just do as your sister says,” they advised in unison.
”Brother-in-law!” Xiao Chen turned to Su Ming as his last resort.
“I'm rely a visitor here,” Su Ming replied with a blink.
Then, all four of them turned in unison and continued on their way to the villa.
