Master Xiao, Your Wife Has Reborn Novel - Chapter 232

Chapter 232 A Coquettish Act

Xi Chenxiao heard the sweet voice in his ear. He smiled with a hint of love in his eyes and caressed Su Jin’s beautiful hair. With a smile, he said to Su Jin,

“Not bad, keep it up.”

Su Jin’s heart raced when she saw the perfect smile on Xi Chenxiao. Devil Xi was indeed perfect. Even though he’s usually cold, he’s gorgeous when he smiled.

“Madam, you’re amazing. That was impressive and made Chairman really proud,”

Xi Tian praised. He had always thought that Su Jin was a lazy good-for-nothing. She actually had such talent. Not only did she defeat her opponent, she made the chairman proud. He made a cheering gesture and said,

“Madam, keep up the good work. Oh yeah.”

Su Jin looked at Xi Tian speechlessly. My God, Xi Tian, you’re a cold and heartless chief. How could you do such a silly thing? It was simply too scary; was he still Xi Tian?

Xi Chenxiao heard Xi Tian’s praise. It didn’t seem appropriate if he said nothing. After all, Su Jin was his wife, so he had to say something. After thinking for a moment, Xi Chenxiao said seriously, “My dear wife, you’re really good. Keep up the good work…”.

He wanted to add “Oh yeah” but he couldn’t. He always felt that it was a weird phrase. When Su Jin heard Xi Chenxiao’s words, she blushed and said softly,

“Thank you.”

Xi Chenxiao saw that Su Jin’s face was flushed, and she was very cute. The blood in his body was boiling again and his mouth was a little dry. He had never been close to women, and was a career-minded, cold man. He did not know what it felt like to like someone, so he did not know that he had completely fallen in love with Su Jin.

He thought that he simply admired Su Jin and was fond of her. He did not think he had other feelings, nor would he think about it. People close to him also did not realize this because Xi Tian, like them, had been single forever.

When Merlin saw that everyone was praising Su Jin, she was very jealous but she could now show it. She could only grit her teeth and walk onto the stage with a smile, saying to the crowd with a hypocritical tone,

“Everyone, I wasn’t lying to you. This friend of mine is really a master pianist. I’m only at the kindergarten level.”

“But the piano is just a hobby. Sorry for making a fool of myself.”

When the audience heard Merlin’s words, they secretly agreed with her but they could not say it. After all, this was their dinner party. How could they ruin someone’s party? So, they played along and said,

“Miss Merlin, you’re too modest.”

“However, Miss Merlin, you’re truly an honest person. It’s admirable that you’re brave enough to admit your shortcomings.”

When Merlin heard that the crowd was not commenting on her inferior skills but rather that she had a good character, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. She has controlled the situation. In order to avoid further criticism, she turned around and said to Su Jin with a smile,

“Miss Su Jin, thank you for your performance. I admire you very much.”

Su Jin looked at Merlin, a little confused. But she smiled politely and nodded. After all, she was here with Xi Chenxiao, so she could not tarnish his reputation. She had to control herself and not give any opportunity to Merlin.

Merlin saw that Su Jin only nodded but did not say anything. She instantly thought of an idea that could make Su Jin lose face. Xi Shi had said that Su Jin was a good-for-nothing mute. Wouldn’t her biggest pain be that she could not speak? Since she was not stumped on the piano, then she would have her sing on stage. When that happened, how could a mute sing?

At the thought of this, Merlin’s lips curled into a smile and her eyes flashed with smugness. She must embarrass this little mute today or how could she get a man like Xi Chenxiao? She said to the crowd again,

“Everyone, I’m sure you know that I graduated from the Music Academy and my favorite subject’s singing. Coincidentally, my friend, Miss Su Jin, also loves music. Do you want to hear Miss Su Jin’s beautiful voice?”

“Of course, would Miss Su Jin’s singing be as perfect as her piano?”
