Chapter 61: Return to the Xia Family

His tone was like that used to cajole a tantrum-throwing child, which only served to irritate Xia Wanwan even more.

So much so that when she got into the car, she was unwilling to say an extra word to him.

It wasn't until she noticed the car wasn't taking the usual route home that she spoke up.

"Where are we going?"

"To the Xia Family," Xi Muchen answered indifferently, "Aunt Yang invited us to return for dinner."

"Xi Muchen..." Xia Wanwan frowned slightly, "I don't want to go..."

In truth, Yang Susu had already called her several times asking her to come back, but she had refused each time. Xia Wanwan guessed that this was why Yang Susu had given up on her and turned to Xi Muchen instead.

"I know," Xi Muchen looked at her, "but you have to go eventually, and I'm with you, aren't I?"

Xia Wanwan didn't speak again, silently consenting, although her face still bore traces of displeasure.
