Same-day in the evening,br>Nixxxie was excited to go on a dinner with Jiang Yang but she was hesitant to ask her mother for her permission. In an hour he was going to be there to pick her up and time was moving faster. Gathering some courage, she went to her mother’s room and saw Song Meilin was sitting on her bed, resting back at the headrest while reading a book.
Seeing her daughter, she said without giving her a chance to speak, "What are you doing here instead of getting ready to go out for a dinner?"
Nixxxie was stunned to hear it. There she was worried about how to tell her mother and here her mother was saying this. She was not able to say a single word as to know what to feel about it, should she feel happy that her mother was fine with letting her go or should she feel embarrassed that her mother was already aware of it. but how?
"Doctor Jiang Yang called me to get permission from me to take you out for dinner and I already said Yes." Song Meilin said again to answer her daughter’s question which she didn’t ask.
"M-Mother I...."
"Don’t waste your time here and go hurry up. He will be here in an hour," Song Meilin said as she knew what was going on in her daughter’s mind but she didn’t want her to waste her time and wanted her to get ready nicely.
Nixxxie nodded, "Thank you, mother."
"Wear the dress I gifted you on your last birthday and get ready like a lady," saying it, Song Meilin focused on her book again and had a pleasant smile on her face.
Nixxxie left her mother’s room to go to her own room. Opening a wardrobe, Nixxxie pulled out a dress from her wardrobe, the one her mother asked her to wear. while standing in front of the mirror holding a dress in her hand she was looking at herself from head to toe and at the same ti, me she was looking at the dress.
Remembering the words of her mother ’Get ready like a lady’ she was thinking about how she dressed up always was so unlike a delicate and pretty girl. After her brother’s death and during these few years, she almost forgot how to be like a lady but at the same time, she thought, how a man like Jiang Yang can like her when he is so handsome and he can get any pretty girl out there.
Going through all these thoughts, she started to get ready in a hurry before Jiang Yang could reach to pick her up.
In Jiang residence.
Jiang Yang was ready for his dinner date in his grey suit. He was standing in front of a mirror observing everything carefully from head to toe.
"I was never this worried about these things whenever I went out with other girls in the past but this one is making me feel nervous." Closing his eyes he gave out a deep sigh and said, "Calm down doctor Jiang Yang, as usual you are looking really handsome." saying it he patted his chest on the left side, "And you buddy, control yourself from jumping out of my chest when you will see her, got it?"
He picked up his mobile, wallet, car keys and left to get her. When he reached Xi residence, Jiang Yang stopped outside of the gate and called Nixxxie. He didn’t prefer to go inside as for him it was a waste of time because he planned to spend every moment only with her so he preferred to take away from there as soon as possible.
Nixxxie went to her mother. Song Meilin was happy to see how pretty her daughter looked, "You are looking so pretty that I am sure doctor Jiang Yang will ask you for more of such dinners."
Nixxxie blushed to hear it and said, "He is here so I should leave now."
"Right! Go and take your time as you are going out after a long time. I am sure doctor Jiang Yang will send you safe and sound back to me." Saying it, Song Meilin hugged Nixxxie, "Have fun."
Nixxxie went downstairs and just then Xi Cheng came out to the living room. "Little sister," he called her.
Hearing him, Nixxxie stopped and looked at him. She was surprised to see him home at this hour and so early. Her heart started pounding faster as to think about what he will do after knowing she was going out with a man.
"You are looking really pretty. I hope you will enjoy your date with doctor Jiang Yang." Xi Cheng said stepping towards her and stopped exactly in front of her."
Nixxxie gulped with her eyes wide open. She realized, she can’t hide anything from this man but before she could say anything he spoke again, "I know you are pretty but today you are looking exceptionally beautiful."
She didn’t know what to say and he continued speaking. Observing her carefully from head to toe he said while giving out a deep sigh, "It’s sad that you took so much effort to get ready for another man. I regret that I am your brother." He had a mischievous smile on his face and his eyes looked different like he was a stranger to her but not her brother.
Nixxxie stepped back to see him like this while Xi Cheng was enjoying to see her like this.
Having an evil grin on his lips, Xi Cheng asked, "Are you scared of me, little sister. Hmm! My fault as I never showed you my other side that knows how to care and how to love a woman."
This time his words had a different meaning that scared her even more. She couldn’t say a single word and turned in a hurry to run outside of the home and away from the evil man in front of her.
Looking at her retreating back, he said, "Looks like I scared a poor girl."
