Chapter 36: Chapter The moment those words left Xi Wenzhe’s mouth, the entire courtyard fell into complete silence.
Meanwhile, Su Yueqing stood rooted to the spot.
Her face was completely blank.
Inside her mind, something exploded.
[WHAT DID HE JUST SAY?!]
The system immediately answered.
[Host, based on my analysis, he appears to have invited you to his chamber.]
[I HEARD THAT PART!]
[Then why are you shouting?]
[I’M NOT SHOUTING!]
[You are.]
[I’M PANICKING!]
The system thoughtfully considered this.
[That seems accurate.]
Across the courtyard, Xi Yunchen immediately rubbed his forehead.
"Finished."
Gu Xiang sighed.
"Completely finished."
Xi Yunhao looked toward his elder brother’s retreating figure.
For the first time in years, he genuinely could not understand what Xi Wenzhe was thinking.
After all, wasn’t his relationship with Su Yueqing terrible?
Didn’t he hate her or something?
Then why had he suddenly announced such a thing in front of everyone?
Meanwhile, Su Yueqing finally found her voice.
"Wait!"
Xi Wenzhe’s footsteps paused.
Slowly, he turned his head.
His expression remained calm.
"Something else?"
Su Yueqing pointed at herself.
"You want me to go where?"
Xi Wenzhe raised an eyebrow.
"My chamber."
The answer was simple.
Inside Su Yueqing’s mind, another explosion immediately followed.
[NO.]
[ABSOLUTELY NOT.]
[OVER MY DEAD BODY.]
[DOES THIS MAN HAVE NO BOUNDARIES?]
[NO SENSE OF PERSONAL SPACE?]
[NO FEAR OF HEAVEN?]
The system quietly interrupted.
[Host, you are his wife.]
[STOP REMINDING ME.]
Xi Wenzhe watched her changing expressions with increasing amusement.
One moment she looked angry.
The next she looked horrified.
Then confused.
Then horrified again.
It was honestly difficult to tell what she was thinking if one ignored the fact that everyone in the Xi family could hear her thoughts.
