Chapter 1545: Chapter 1545: Tearing Faces (3)
The sight of the two walking together was indeed so beautiful that it was hard to look away.
“Xingxing, everyone thinks we make a great couple.” Xiao Ji noticed this detail, full of joy.
It was just like when they were together back in the day; everyone said they were a golden couple, a match made in heaven. Back then, they were still young, Su Hongxing hadn’t gained weight yet, and even the neighbors said they looked good together.
He never wanted to resign to fate. If he didn’t fight for it, Su Hongxing would surely have treated him as a stranger by now.
Su Hongxing didn’t respond. Xiao Ji obviously forgot that she was a married woman. When she was with Ye Qilan, everyone said they were a perfect match.
Whether they were a good match or not, that’s not something for outsiders to decide.
They strolled all the way to the back gate, exited the park, and headed to the Xiao Family’s house,
Xiao’s mother couldn’t stop grinning the moment she saw Su Hongxing.
“Xiao Mama, I’m here to mooch a meal again. You’re heading out to buy groceries, right? I’ll accompany Xiao Mama.” Su Hongxing just wanted to get away from Xiao Ji and at the same time get some information from Xiao’s mother.
Xiao’s mother readily agreed.
Xiao Ji saw what was happening and wanted to follow, but Su Hongxing stopped him: “Xiao Ji, it’s rare that you’re home; help clean up the house a bit. I’ll go with Xiao Mama to buy groceries and be back soon.”
Xiao Ji saw Su Hongxing say this, so he didn’t insist and agreed.
Su Hongxing accompanied Xiao’s mother to the market and chatted about some trivial matters. Then, she subtly tried to extract information: “Xiao Mama, I remember Xiao Ji used to always hide things at home. I wonder if he’s changed that habit?”
Xiao’s mother didn’t suspect anything and nodded continuously: “Yes, it’s amazing you remember his habit. Just the other day, I found he had hidden a box under the altar…”
Su Hongxing’s heart raced, she couldn’t believe what she heard and looked at Xiao’s mother. This was like finding something where one least expected.
Xiao’s mother saw Su Hongxing’s odd expression and asked, “Child, why do you have that look on your face?”
Su Hongxing suppressed her excitement and replied nonchalantly, “I just think Xiao Ji’s habit is quite amusing. No matter how much he changes, some little habits stay the same.”
She thought, the things in that box are probably photos and videos of Qiao Qiao, right?
With this in mind, her thoughts drifted far away, she just wanted to hurry back to the Xiao Family’s house and find a chance to see if the things in that box were the photos she was looking for.
After buying the groceries, Su Hongxing carried them back to the Xiao Family’s house.
Xiao Ji was cleaning and when he saw them return, he stepped forward to help with the groceries: “Bought so many groceries?”
Su Hongxing was absent-minded; she handed all the groceries to Xiao Ji, smiling: “It’s rare for you to come home, it’s your turn to show filial piety to Xiao Mama. You cook lunch today.”
Xiao’s mother only had Xiao Ji as her precious son, she couldn’t bear to let him into the kitchen: “Son, let me do it.”
“Mom, I’ll cook today. Xingxing is right, I rarely come home. Now that I am, it’s only proper that I show you my appreciation.” With that, Xiao Ji took the groceries into the kitchen and got busy.
Xiao’s mother stood at the kitchen door, watching Xiao Ji busy about, and sighed softly: “Girl, Xiao Ji still listens to you the most.”
Su Hongxing’s words were much more effective than her own, it had always been this way since they were young.
If only Su Hongxing could become her daughter-in-law, how nice would that be? Alas, it was all just wishful thinking.
“Xiao Mama, I’ll join you to see our old family photos. Let’s leave lunch to Xiao Ji!”
