At that moment, the street lamps were lit up .
The three of them felt the biting cold as the wind whistled around them .
Biting her lip, Xia Nuannuan said after a moment of hesitation, “Dad, Mom, why don’t we go home first?”
She wouldn’t mind it so much if they made things difficult for her alone . After all, she understood how Shen Xiu felt . Given that his son had gotten married without so much as informing him, of course he felt like she had seduced Zihao .
However, her parents had done nothing wrong .
What right did these people have to be treating them like this?
Xia Nuannuan’s eyes reddened . Fortunately, the skies had darkened and her parents couldn’t tell . Otherwise they would be really upset .

Dad Xia frowned when he heard her suggestion . After a brief moment, he turned to glance at the towering gate and huge courtyard . Then, he laughed and said, “It’s okay . The security officer has to pass the message to the big boss and it might take some time . We can wait, we’re in no hurry . ”
Xia Nuannuan’s heart wrung with pain when she looked at her father .
She knew why he said that .
He had been a proud man all his life . When had he swallowed his pride like this?
He did so now because he felt that if they went away, it would put his daughter in a difficult position with her mother-in-law, and it would make things difficult for his daughter ultimately .
His heart ached for his own daughter .
And now, for the first time, she regretted this marriage .

It was the second day of their marriage, but she wished they hadn’t registered it the day before .
Mom Xia spoke as well, saying, “That’s right, let’s wait for a while, it’s okay . You’re too impatient, child . ”
Xia Nuannuan hung her head and did not say a word . Holding the cell phone in her hand, she said, “I’ll call a cab, let’s go . Let’s not wait here any longer . ”
There would be few taxis coming into the villa district, and the one that brought them here had already left .
In order to leave, the only way was to call a taxi .
However, even the nearest taxis were at least ten minutes away .
Xia Nuannuan swiftly made the call .

Another five minutes passed .
Xia Nuannuan’s hands had turned as cold as ice .
Mom Xia stepped forward and held her hands . “Nuannuan, you must be cold . Come, let me warm you up a little . Put your hands under my armpits, it’s quite warm there . ”
Xia Nuannuan was silent .
She felt tears welling up in her eyes .
She had never felt such shame, which made her curl her finger into a tight fist .
She was about to say something when, at that moment, the little side gate swung open .
Following this, a voice came from beyond . “Ah! In-laws! Look at you, really… I scolded Xiao Zhao . How could he make you wait here?!”
Mei Feng was wearing a mink coat, looking every inch the wealthy man’s wife that she was . She stood on the inside of the gate, smiling apologetically .
When she saw them, she approached the family at once . She grabbed Xia Nuannuan’s hands, saying, “Oh dear, Nuannuan’s hands are so cold! You must be freezing . Come in quickly! Come in quickly!”
She kept chattering, “I was watching over things in the kitchen after I called you, so I inadvertently forgot to inform the security officer . You don’t understand, this place is too conspicuous and we often have offenders trying to break in . So the security officer has always been careful to remain impartial . I just scolded him! That blind fool! In-laws, please don’t be angry . ”
Her attitude was quite sincere as she apologized once more . Both Dad Xia and Mom Xia kept silent .
Mom Xia smiled as she took a step forward and said, “It’s nothing . I’m not angry . We just waited for a short while, we’re not angry . ”
And then, turning to Mei Feng, she asked, “Where’s Zichuan’s Dad?”
