Chapter 731: Chapter 721 Analysis (1)_1

"I heard from Grandpa Xiao that Muli announced at their family gathering yesterday that you are his fiancée, is that true?" It was still Old Madam Loo’s gentle voice. But now, no matter how Situ Xin listened, she couldn’t feel its gentleness anymore.

Situ Xin inwardly exclaimed, "This is bad." How could she forget such an important matter? She should have called home after returning from the Xiao Family gathering yesterday. She should have been the one to tell her family about it, and now, not only had she not mentioned it to her family before it happened, but also she didn’t call them immediately afterward to inform them about the engagement, allowing them to hear about it from someone else.

Situ Xin wanted to give herself a good knock on the head. How could her usually reliable brain fail her at such a critical moment? After swallowing hard, she said with difficulty, "Yes, there is such a matter."

"Baby, did you accept Muli’s proposal?" Old Madam Loo asked tentatively.

Situ Xin nodded on the phone. After nodding, she remembered that this was a phone call, and her grandparents couldn’t see her nodding, so she hurriedly replied, "I accepted. But Grandma, the situation was a bit complicated yesterday, that’s why I forgot to tell you afterward. Grandma, I’m sorry."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, a silence that lifted Situ Xin’s heart into the air, fearing that her thoughtless behavior hurt her concerned family members. Thankfully, the silence didn’t last long, and Old Madam Loo’s voice was still kind and gentle, "Baby, your Grandpa and your Grandpa Situ were very angry about this. It’s not something we can explain over a phone call. You and Muli hurry back here."

As soon as Old Madam Loo finished speaking, Old Master Loo’s irritated voice came through the line, "Old lady, tell Baby to tell that boy Muli to hurry back here. He dared to propose to Baby without telling us; he’s planning to present us with a fait accompli, hoping that once the deed is done, we’ll have no choice but to agree to their union, hmph, wishful thinking."

"It seems that the last time he was disciplined was not enough, he hasn’t learned his lesson. This time, I’ll see if I hold back." If Xiao Muli were in front of them now, they would certainly give him a good beating right then and there.

"Baby, you and Muli start packing and come back, he went a bit too far this time," Old Madam Loo said, clearly angry, but she also understood why Xiao Muli did what he did.

"Okay, I understand, I’ll start packing and head back," Situ Xin said as she hung up the phone, her mood for breakfast completely dissipated. She stood up and said to Baibai, "Baibai, stop eating, there’s a big problem. We need to hurry back home."

Baibai heard everything Old Madam Loo and the others said on the phone. As for the situation, Baibai was not worried at all; instead, it looked forward to the unfolding events with a touch of schadenfreude. Of course, this feeling wasn’t directed at its owner, Situ Xin, but towards Xiao Muli, who dared to play this trick behind its back—hmph, this time, Baibai wondered how Xiao Muli would extricate himself from the situation and if he could avoid a thrashing from the men of the Situ and Loo Families.

Without giving Baibai time to react, Situ Xin picked it up and turned to ask the Xiao Family’s servant at the door, "Where is your Family Head, Xiao Muli?"

"He’s in the hall," the servant replied. The young man, barely in his early twenties, blushed with excitement that the beautiful Miss Situ was speaking to him, his heart fluttering with joy.

"Thank you," said Situ Xin, holding Baibai and leaving behind the young man with a heart that had just begun to stir.

Situ Xin was unaware of these emotions; holding Baibai, she dashed towards the hall, her urgency unconsciously invoking her spiritual energy, making her move with the swiftness of qinggong. Xiao Muli’s people, watching from the shadows, were stunned, having to admit to themselves that their future mistress was indeed not to be taken lightly.

Because Xiao Muli had previously issued a command within the old mansion that Situ Xin could go wherever she wanted without being obstructed, she had a clear passage, "Baby? Why are you here?"

Situ Xin swept into the hall like a gust of wind, so fast that besides Xiao Muli, no one else could make out who had arrived the moment she entered. It was only when Situ Xin stopped next to Xiao Muli that they finally saw her clearly.

"Oh, you need to come with me to pack our stuff; we have to rush back," said Situ Xin, who, despite her hurry, wasn’t panting or flushed. However, the urgency in her voice was clear to everyone present.

The fact that they had just heard about how formidable Situ Xin was from Xiao Muli made them even more puzzled by her urgency. They all had doubts about what sort of matter could have made someone as mysterious and poised as Situ Xin so anxious.

"What’s wrong, what happened?" Xiao Muli’s words voiced everyone’s thoughts, and they all looked at Situ Xin, waiting for her to answer.

At any other time, Situ Xin would have noticed all these eyes on her, but today, because she was so anxious, she automatically blocked out everything around her.

"My grandparents just called. They seem to have heard from Grandpa Xiao about last night’s incident. They called and asked me about it. As soon as I confirmed it, my grandparents were furious. They want me to bring you back immediately to give them a proper explanation," Situ Xin explained, grabbing Xiao Muli’s hand as she headed for the door.

As soon as Xiao Muli heard Situ Xin’s words, he inwardly cursed, "This is bad." He had planned everything so carefully, how could he have forgotten about his grandfather’s boasting nature, especially concerning his dearly awaited granddaughter-in-law? "Let’s go, we’ll head back right away. Baby, don’t worry, I’ll explain everything to Grandpa Situ and the others."

This response from Xiao Muli earned him a disdainful look from Baibai. The creature thought to itself that he better worry about his own situation first. If he wasn’t chastised by the men of the Situ and Loo Families such that he couldn’t even get out of bed, they certainly wouldn’t let the matter rest. Yet, here he was, thinking of explaining on behalf of his owner.
