A Contractual Marriage with the Best Leading Actor - Chapter 24

Meeting the Parents (8)

The attractive lady stood there as her cheeks grew redder. “Mn, I knew that the Eldest Young Master would be coming over, so I…” She changed her way of addressing him.

“Alright alright, that’s enough. Let’s not have you embarrassing yourself in front of Si Si.” Father Jiang irritatedly interrupted her.  “Let’s go, let’s head over to the dining table.” 

Bai Qi could somewhat figure out the relationship between them.

The lady could possibly be playing the role of a stepmom in Xi Chengyun’s life…

Bai Qi was still in his thoughts when suddenly, he felt emptiness below his feet. Xi Chengyun had picked him up with one hand.

Ah, this arm strength of his! 

Xi Chengyun smoothed out the crumples around his waist that came about due to Bai Qi sitting on him. Then, he placed Bai Qi on the ground.　　

Bai Qi was a little shy to just straight up kiss him, so he opted to snuggle into his chest instead, arching himself against Xi Chengyun’s chest twice.　

He was like a coquettish little kitten.

“Muack, muack.” After he made those sounds, Bai Qi straightened his body upright again. 

“…” Father Jiang reacted.

He couldn’t take this anymore.

He was going to go blind soon! This was seriously pissing him off!

While Xi Chengyun was rubbing his fingertips against one another, a thought suddenly came to mind.

Bai Qi’s head looks nice to the touch…  

Everyone maintained a posed state of calmness all the way to the dining room. 　

The lady didn’t dare to call him ‘Chengyun’ anymore. Throughout the meal, she only addressed him as ‘Young Master’. She acted like a servant, standing up to pour wine for Xi Chengyun. She also poured a cup of wine for Bai Qi when she walked past him.

“Why are you doing that for him?!”

“He can’t drink. Let him have some milk instead.” 

Father Jiang and Xi Chengyun said almost simultaneously.　　

The lady froze and she didn’t know what to do. Just then, the steward came in and announced, “The Second Young Master has arrived.”

The lady was overjoyed. “Go ahead Si Si.”

Han Si squeezed out a fake laugh and stood up, lazily taking a few steps. She didn’t really plan to go out and greet him.　

Jiang Fangcheng darted past the hallways very fast, and he soon reached the dining room. “I heard that my older brother has brought a girlfriend back home.” His voice rang gloomily from the direction of the door. 

After he said that, he stepped foot into the dining room.

Jiang Fangcheng simply stood there in complete stillness.

Father Jiang rubbed his hands on his forehead.

If he knew that this would have happened, he wouldn’t have asked Han Si to come over…

Let’s hope that Jiang Fangcheng can keep his cool…

Father Jiang was only halfway through his thoughts and Jiang Fangcheng’s expression was already as dark as an evil spirit.

Jiang Fangcheng strode forward and shoved everything off the dining table.

“What the hell?!”　

Jiang Fangcheng was beyond furious.

Han Si was also shocked as she looked at him. It’s likely that she’d never seen Jiang Fangcheng in such a state.

The lady was stunned. Then, two beads of tears rolled down her cheeks.

She reached out, making her best effort to grab onto Jiang Fangcheng’s hands. “Cheng Cheng, what happened? Don’t be like that. Your older brother brought someone back home. You should be happy…”

Her intention was to hint at Jiang Fangcheng to recognize the occasion he was currently in. However, she didn’t expect her words to instead add fuel to the fire. 

Jiang Fangcheng randomly grabbed something and smashed it.

Bai Qi took a shallow breath.

… How could he have not known that Jiang Fangcheng was so problematic back then? It seemed like he had no control over his emotions at all.

“You’ve completely humiliated yourself! Are you happy now? ” Father Jiang gritted through his teeth.

This seemed to be directed towards both Xi Chengyun and Jiang Fangcheng.

Nonchalantly, Xi Chengyun twisted the watch strap on his wrist. 

“Father, look, isn’t your second son a complete psycho too? I’ve said this a long time ago. He has inherited some of those low-class genes of yours.” Xi Chengyun said this in a calm and elegant tone, yet it somehow carried an air of chilliness to it; each word penetrating deeply into one’s bones.

“Stop it, stop it,” the lady begged, crying.

Then, Xi Chengyun cast his eyes on Jiang Fangcheng. “If you’ve got so much strength, then you can go ahead and flip the table as well. But I didn’t come home today to look at you flipping tables.”

He paused, and then continued indifferently, “Since everyone’s here, let me give you guys an introduction.”

“This is my marriage partner,” Xi Chengyun said as he pointed at Bai Qi.　　

Jiang Fangcheng’s shoulders trembled violently; his reactions as if he were a prey that had caught sight of a hunter.

He looked up and turned to Xi Chengyun, a look of terror appearing in his eyes.

In an instant, Bai Qi seemed to have made sense of something.

Today’s dinner was truly unnecessary.

The reason why Xi Chengyun had brought him here was most likely to wholly quash any ideas Jiang Fangcheng had about finding him again.

This was an affirmation of supremacy.

A supremacy that was absolute and untouchable; a supremacy just like the king of a pride of lions.
