Chapter 293: Chapter 293: She is My Wife (6)
"Enough!" Xiao Grandma suddenly slapped the armrest, as if shaking the heavens and earth.
All the Xiao sisters were silent as cicadas in winter. Xiao Shuju even quickly retracted her outstretched finger, crying out with grievance, "Grandma, I’m doing this for his good—"
With a gaze cold as ice, Xiao Yebai indifferently swept across Xiao Shuju’s face.
Gu Nuan could clearly feel his emotions, the way he gripped her hand, just like when they had encountered his second sister at the hospital, holding her very tightly.
"Look at the time, does everyone no longer need to eat?"
The elderly lady suddenly brought up the matter of eating at this critical juncture, which seemed reasonable yet also unexpected to everyone.
The butler immediately came up and said, "Old Madam, the dishes are about to get cold, they are set outside."
Xiao Grandma decided, asking all guests to proceed to the lawn where an outdoor buffet was ready for a lavish lunch.
Seeing this situation, it was clear that the Xiao family was about to close their doors to deal with their family affairs.
Wa Zicong and Lin Yishan, being merely fiancés and not officially married, were not considered part of the Xiao family. He was left alone, following the crowd, being ushered out of the hall by the Xiao family’s servants.
As he turned his head, from a distance, he could glimpse Gu Nuan’s profile through the crowd.
Cool and detached.
She always looked like this, even after dating him for so many years, resembling a white magnolia blooming alone in the harsh winter.
It seemed there was never a reason for him to worry.
Yet in reality, her outward demeanor of pride only made one feel a deep tenderness for her, making him want to cherish her even more.
But everything had not come in time.
Now, the man by her side was another man—that man—
Wa Zicong’s eyes narrowed into two arcs, surveying the white suit on Xiao Yebai that symbolized the aristocracy of platinum nobility.
This person was reportedly the most notorious prodigal of the Xiao family.
How could she fancy such a wastrel?
Out of character for her!
The heavy doors of the grand Xiao residence, made of fragrant sandalwood, slowly pulled shut, slamming closed with a bang, seemingly symbolizing that those outside were far removed from this wealthy family.
Seeing that only family members were left on the scene, Xiao Grandma signaled to the butler beside her.
The butler nodded, walked up to Gu Nuan, and gestured, "Young Madam, please follow me this way."
Calling her "Young Madam" was probably out of regard for her husband’s face.
So no matter what they said about her husband being a prodigal and a wastrel, he still held a special status in this family, almost the most secure as an only child, unshakeable by anyone, even the elderly.
Seeing through this, Gu Nuan undoubtedly felt a sense of reassurance in her heart.
As she was about to release his hand, his fingers caught hers briefly, letting her fingers slowly leave amidst his tangled emotions.
She glanced downwards, seemingly able to meet his eyes.
In fact, Gu Nuan felt it was needless to say, had it not been for anticipating entering his family from the beginning, neither of them had planned on getting married, right?
Precisely because of this, she had come here, and, of course, she was determined to establish her place in this family for his sake!
Everything was according to their plan.
Seeing that Gu Nuan was following the butler to the study on the first floor, Xiao Grandma was helped up by a woman beside her. As she left her seat, she swept a warning glance over her grandchildren and commanded, "Whatever it is, let’s wait until I return to discuss it."
