Chapter 17 - Chapter 17 The Days Between

Looking at his best friend giving him a smirk while his eyes were shining as though he had found something interesting, Xiao felt a headache just looking at him.

Before getting into his car to leave, Lin Fan spoke to Xiao, saying that if he ever needed anything, he could just contact him.

Then Xiao watched silently as he slowly waved his hand and saw his friend drive off in his car as he left.

A few seconds later, he slowly sighed as an unknown smile formed on his lips.

"What a chaotic mess."

Truly, today was a very chaotic and unpredictable day. So much had happened in a single day. From his graduation ceremony to Xi Hong's confession, to learning so much information, and then this party.

Really, today was a very busy day. But he did not hate it either. Instead, Xiao loved those mundane yet interesting things, as in the end, he was, after all, a curious person.

'A self proclaimed one! Maybe.'

He thought as he criticized himself. Then Xiao turned around and entered the house while muttering.

"Maybe the coming days will be much more interesting."

And after that, from then on, his life continued in its normal way. Xiao would spend his time idly as he chilled out with his friends, did many fun things, and enjoyed life. At other times, he would work on setting up his business, improving his communication skills, and expanding his network.

While doing this, he also visited many countries, such as Singapore, India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Africa, Ghana, Switzerland, Sweden, Poland, Norway, and Australia, along with many other countries around the world.

In those countries, he simply toured while also communicating with people. This approach of his had proven to be more successful than he would have given it credit for.

As this allowed him to slowly form a vast network of connections and influence, and at the same time, he also worked on his business as he expanded and scaled it up.

During that period of time, he also kept in contact with Xi Hong, as he would occasionally meet with her as well. And just like that, five months went by.

During those five months, Xiao had already launched his business, and it was doing great. At the same time, he had also asked Xi Hong when she was going to take him to meet her family.

To which she simply replied that the time had not come yet. When the time was right, she would simply tell him. So after that, he did not ask her any more about it.

In the meantime, Xi Hong had also visited his house many times after he had moved back to the USA, to his grandmother's farmhouse. And when she had first visited them.

For some reason, his grandmother was really very happy and seemed relieved and peaceful, as though a burden had been lifted from her shoulders. And when he asked them what it was actually about.

They simply said that it was between girls and refused to tell him, ignoring him instead. Xiao was really bewildered at that time because couldn't he at least deserve to know that?

But alas, since they did not say it, he did not ask anymore either. At the same time, his grandmother gave Xi Hong the gift that she had spoken about before.

One was a painting made by the great artist Picasso, and another was an extremely luxurious diamond necklace. All of those things were his grandmother's family inheritances that had been passed down through generations.

Since Xi Hong was going to become her granddaughter-in-law in the future, his grandmother decided to give her those things ahead of time. At that time, Xiao very badly wanted to say that Xi Hong was still not her granddaughter-in-law yet, and life was unpredictable while fate was uncertain.

But he resisted the urge to say so because he did not want to get beaten to a pulp by those two.

At the same time, his grandmother had also given Xi Hong twenty thousand acres of land in Texas along with a mansion worth more than fifty million dollars as a gift.

When Xi Hong wanted to refuse, saying that those gifts were too expensive and that she already had enough, his grandmother stopped her, gave her the papers and documents, and made her sign them while saying with a serious expression on her face,

If in the future she were ever in serious trouble or lost everything and had to start again, then she could use those things as her backup and foundation.

After all of that, things went on as usual as Xi Hong spent around two days at his house. During that time, both of them had fun while enjoying each other's company and became more comfortable around each other.

As they deepened their bond even more. And during those five months, Xiao also had a lot of fun as he explored the world, making more friends and allies, as he believed that having one more friend was better than having a new enemy.

During those five months, he had also rapidly grown his business, and because it was doing great, he was considering expanding it further. And when he shared his idea with Xi Hong, she said that whenever he decided to do so,

She would support his business and its expansion in every way she could and would also support him to the fullest. But the way she said that to him was so cool and badass that he was almost turned on.

As he thought to himself that his yandere girlfriend really knew how to make him fall for her again and again, as he cursed and criticized himself in his mind that she knew her stuff well.

Well, other than that, during those five months, his life was more or less good as it was filled with enjoyment, surprises, and hard work as well. And then, five months later, on a certain day,

Xiao received a call from Xi Hong, saying that today she would take him to meet her family. Learning this, Xiao was slightly nervous at first as he wondered what would happen during the family meeting.
