BXBX NOVEL Chapter 109 - 109: Yes, I Have Someone
Xie Wensheng’s gaze remained on the string of dragon-eyed bodhi. “That’s not what I want to say. I just want to ask, why aren’t you wearing the bracelet
Grandma gave you?”
“I gave it to someone,” Xie Xuan replied indifferently.
As soon as he finished speaking, his phone vibrated.
There was a reply to the WeChat message he had sent to Lu Haiqiao.
Lu Haiqiao said, “I was in a meeting just now and didn’t bring my phone. It’s very late in Country M now, right? You should rest well when you get there and before dealing with things.”
Xie Xuan quickly typed a reply. “Yes, have you eaten?”
Lu Haiqiao replied, “Not yet. I have something to take care of first.”
Seeing this, Xie Xuan exited the app and called the takeout number of Donghao Garden in B City.
He quickly ordered some dishes and said, “That’s all. Please deliver as soon as possible.”
After receiving a guarantee that it would be delivered within half an hour, Xie Xuan nodded and hung up.
Returning to WeChat, he sent a message to Lu Haiqiao. “I ordered lunch for you. It’ll arrive later.”
She was probably busy and didn’t reply.
Xie Xuan put away his phone. The moment he looked up, he met Xie Wensheng’s probing gaze.
“Why are you looking at me?” he asked.
Xie Wensheng narrowed his eyes and asked as if he had already seen through everything, “Do you have someone you care about?”
Other than playing games, he had never seen his son look at his phone so often and even order food for others. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed that this kid could be so meticulous.
“Yes, I do,” Xie Xuan admitted frankly. Xie Wensheng was slightly surprised. “Male or female?”
Xie Xuan didn’t know what to say.
He didn’t expect his father to be so trendy.
“Don’t worry. It’s a she!” It was a girl he liked very much.
Xie Wensheng dragged out his words and said, “It’s not that I’m worried. At first, I thought you would partner up with that kid from the Zhou family for the rest of your life.”
Xie Xuan didn’t know what to say.
“Should I say that your thoughts are trendy, or that you’re too blind?”
Xie Wensheng said, “Since you have someone you care about, bring her back home another day.”
Xie Xuan asked, “Why? Has Grandpa given in?”
Xie Wensheng said, “No, but if you bring your girlfriend home, your grandfather will be very happy to see her.”
However, after a few seconds, he added, “I can’t rule out the possibility that he’ll let the young lady and kick you out of the house.”
Xie Xuan didn’t know what to say.
“By the way, what’s her name?” Xie Wensheng asked curiously.
Xie Xuan said, “She’s Lu Haiqiao, Lu Jianyuan’s niece.”
“Lu Jianyuan from Country F?” Hearing this, Xie Wensheng seemed to remember something.
Xie Xuan narrowed his eyes. “You know him?”
With that, the bedroom fell into a strange silence.
“Dad?” Xie Xuan called out.
Xie Wensheng came back to his senses. “What? Right, Lu Jianyuan’s niece…
That little girl…”
His tone made it seem like Lu Haiqiao was an old friend he had known for many years.
Xie Xuan asked, “Is there a problem?”
Xie Wensheng lowered his eyes and sighed meaningfully. “If it’s that young lady, then treat her well. Don’t let anyone hurt her. This is your responsibility as a man.”
Hurt her?
There was something wrong with that statement.
Why did his father think someone was going to hurt her?
And from his tone, he seemed to know who that person was, but he couldn’t say it out loud.
With that thought in mind, Xie Xuan said, “Dad…”
He had to ask.
However, Xie Wensheng waved his hand. “Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore. I have to rest. I promise your mother to go back as soon as possible. I can’t exhaust myself anymore..”
