Chapter 233 Comfort
Su Jin’s face was gloomy. She had barely sat down and she was targeted again? She has not even had a bite, not even a sip of water. At the very least, let her go to the toilet, right? Was there a need to be in such a hurry?
Randall had heard from Merlin that Su Jin was mute. Just now when he spoke with Xi Chenxiao, this beautiful girl didn’t say a single word either.
When he heard Merlin’s words, he knew that Merlin was just hostile towards Su Jin. It was as if she was determined to embarrass this beautiful girl tonight. He frowned in dissatisfaction and whispered,
“Merlin, don’t go too far.”
He was clear with his words. After all, this girl was the wife of the internationally renowned Chairman Xi, who’s not someone to be trifled with. Everyone would be in trouble if anything bad happened.
Mr. Max frowned too. He did not understand why his usually calm and intelligent daughter seemed to have lost her mind today. He asked the butler about these inexplicable actions. “When did Merlin become friends with this Su Jin? Why haven’t I heard of it before?”
The butler was also confused. Despite the young miss living under his care, he knew nothing about this. He could only reply helplessly,
“Master Max, I don’t know either. I’ve never seen this Miss Su Jin before.”
Xi Chenxiao glanced coldly at Merlin. This woman was too much; did she really want to start a war with the Xi family? It’s disgusting. He turned and looked at Su Jin gently.
“It’s okay if you don’t know how.”
When Su Jin heard Xi Chenxiao’s gentle, comforting voice, her heart softened. There was a smile on her face. She looked at him with pride and mouthed the words,
“If I just admit defeat, or if I don’t sing as well as Merlin, would you feel embarrassed? Would it make you lose face?” Xi Chenxiao’s eyes flashed with kindness when he heard this. He dotingly stroked Su Jin’s beautiful hair. What was this little fool thinking? She’s worried about these things at a time like this? He said softly,
“I don’t expect my wife to be superhuman. Moreover, it should be the man who protects the woman, not the other way around.”
Su Jin was inexplicably moved and happy when she heard these words. Devil Xi was not too bad. He knew that he had to protect her at a time like this. She smiled at Xi Chenxiao and said plainly,
“If I sound terrible later, don’t think it’s unpleasant.”
Xi Chenxiao smile and tugged Su Jin’s hair behind her ear. He gently stroked Su Jin’s hair and looked at her trustingly as he said,
“Don’t worry. If anyone says that you sound terrible, I’ll make them cry. No one will think it’s unpleasant.”
Su Jin was touched yet helpless when she heard this. Did Devil Xi not know that it’s illegal to coerce someone? Wouldn’t it be even more embarrassing if he did that? While the two of them were talking, Merlin had started singing. This song was specially customized and was her hit, “Ignite.”.
“Ignite” was an energetic and passionate rock song. It became a hit as soon as it was released. The atmosphere became high when Merlin opened her mouth to sing along with the music. Everyone screamed and clapped along.
Merlin’s performance was over soon. The crowd did not seem to have had enough of the high. Merlin was not only a noble young miss, she was also a relatively famous local celebrity. She would not easily lose when it came to singing. Moreover, it was something that she had studied seriously.
Xi Chenxiao frowned after listening to Merlin’s song. He did not expect Merlin to sing so well. He turned and looked at Su Jin worriedly. Could this girl do it? He said softly to Su Jin,
“If you don’t want to sing, I’ll go and tell
them.”
Su Jin shook her head. Although Merlin sang well, Su Jin was confident. She would not admit defeat today. If she admitted defeat, it would be equivalent to telling Merlin that she was inferior to her. This was not going to happen. She replied softly,
“It’s okay, I can sing!”
