14 Stalk Them

Tang Xinyue pat Fan Lingxin's head. "You're so cute."

Fan Lingxin's face was flushed red after hearing the compliment.

Li Xia analyzed Tang Xinyue further.

He thought that Tang Xinyue faked her whole relationship with Fan Lingxin, just so she could plan her downfall.

It seemed that it wasn't the case, seeing how genuine Tang Xinyue treated Fan Lingxin.

Li Xia swiped dust off his shirt, and stood up to exit.

"L- Li Xia? Where are you going? You still haven't explained yourself!"

Li Xia only swept a glance at her before he headed to the exit.

Tang Xinyue was dumbfounded. What was the matter with this psychopath? He didn't even answer me!

"Let's go." Li Xia grabbed Fan Lingxin's hand as he walked farther.

"..." Tang Xinyue.

How do I solve this?

She knew what would happen next. Fan Lingxin would head to her maiden family as it was the third day of their wedding.

Fan Lingxin, being the meek but unruly woman that she was, would lose face in front of all of her family members.

Li Xia wouldn't even lift a finger as she got berated by her father, her mother, and her uncles and aunts.

Actually, he would lift a finger. To sip tea!

Tang Xinyue couldn't possibly go with them to make sure Fan Lingxin didn't do anything out of line.

"Should I... stalk them?"

.....

Li Xia walked through the living room, while Fan Lingxin followed behind him.

Mrs. Tang saw the two and couldn't help but comment, "The beauty and the beast..."

Hearing her comment, Win Huiying furrowed her eyebrows. "Who are you calling the beast? That's my son! The audacity!"

"No, what I meant was that Fan Lingxin was the beast!" Mrs. Tang hurriedly corrected her statement.

Li Xia did not mind her mindless words, but Fan Lingxin was more unrestrained than him.

"Who are you calling a beast?"

Before she could continue, a hand pulled her outside of the room. The same hand slammed the door shut.

The atmosphere in the living room was now awkward, the result of Fan Lingxin's outburst.

Mrs. Tang looked at the floor all this time, she had memorized the pattern of the tiles.

Qin Huiying cleared her throat. "Ahem... let's play mahjong, shall we?"

The ladies nodded, the atmosphere cleared up again.

.....

Grandma was outside sipping tea. She admired the scenery in the garden.

It was then she saw someone wearing all black. She had a black coat that reached to her ankles, black heels, a black facemask, black shades, and a black hat.

"Hmm?"

Earlier, she saw Fan Lingxin following shyly behind Li Xia who entered the car before her.

This person who was in black hailed a taxi, which seemed to follow the car that her grandson and daughter-in-law rode.

Until the two cars were out of her sight, Grandma observed them.

The person in black only had her long hair which wasn't black. The hair was blonde, reminiscent of the Tang family.

"...Tang Xinyue?"
