her appearance was very clear to him. Hence, he quickly found Wang Xiaoya, only to discover that she looked somewhat different from what her photo showed.Looking at her cute little face, it was almost...Chapter 423 Meeting the Parents

Shu Jing originally thought no one was at home, so she didn't mind Xia Tian following her. However, now that she knows someone is inside, at least one of her parents is home, and things are different.

"We should go to my dormitory instead." Shu Jing turned around and wanted to leave, but just then, the door opened by itself, and a man appeared in the doorway.

The man looked to be in his mid-twenties, quite sturdy and tall, at least 1.8 meters or more in height. He was dressed formally in a suit, which wasn't completely out of place considering the weather was still slightly warm but bearable for wearing suits.

"Eh, Xiao Jing, you're back" Seeing Shu Jing, the man looked pleasantly surprised. "I heard from Mr. Shu that you were at the basketball gymnasium; I was just about to go look for you!"

Seeing this man, Shu Jing froze for a moment and then forced a smile. "Brother Yu, it's you."

Before the man could respond, Shu Jing pulled Xia Tian inside hurriedly: "Brother Yu, I have an urgent matter to attend to; let’s talk later!"

Shu Jing pulled Xia Tian and quickly entered her bedroom, then she closed the door from inside. Her room was rather simple; there was a bed, a desk with a computer on it, and an armoire. On the wall were some posters of sports stars, nothing else.

"Hey, I'd like to discuss something with you," Shu Jing said to Xia Tian in a low voice.

"What is it" Xia Tian asked, somewhat puzzled. He then added: "You can't go out without changing clothes, okay If you don’t want to change them yourself, I’ll do it for you!"

"It’s not about changing clothes. When we leave later, could you pretend that you’re my boyfriend" Shu Jing asked in a whisper as if she was afraid someone outside would hear her.

Xia Tian immediately looked displeased: "I’m clearly your husband; why should I pretend to be your boyfriend"

Shu Jing froze for a moment, feeling somewhat depressed. She momentarily forgot about this matter. In her mind, Xia Tian and she were still in a rather ordinary relationship. As such, it made sense to have him act as her boyfriend first. But now that Xia Tian had pointed it out, Shu Jing remembered that, theoretically speaking, he was already her husband.

"You see, my dad doesn’t know about us. A while ago, I told him I didn't have a boyfriend. If I suddenly tell him I have a husband, he’s bound to get upset. So why don’t you pretend we’re just dating for now In the future, when it's time, I’ll gradually let him know that you're my husband, which will make him more accepting of us," Shu Jing quickly came up with an excuse.

Summer doesn't think much of it, saying, "It's not a big deal if your dad is upset."

"Ugh, my dad will stop us from being together if he’s unhappy!" Shu Jing said irritably.

"Then I’ll beat him up!" Summer responded without hesitation.

Shu Jing was speechless. What kind of person is this She's his wife and yet he even wants to beat up her father!

"Wife Jingjing, hurry up and change your clothes!" Summer started urging.

"I won't change unless you agree to pretend to be my boyfriend!" Shu Jing said poutingly.

Summer looked at Shu Jing and wondered if he should take off her clothes for her. However, seeing that his wife seemed genuinely unhappy, maybe he should try to console her instead.

After thinking about it, Xia Tian nodded: "Alright, as long as you wear that outfit again, I'll pretend to be your boyfriend."

"You said so yourself, no backing out!" Shu Jing finally turned from anger to happiness, "Hey, go out now!"

"Why do I need to leave" Xia Tian was puzzled.

Shu Jing got annoyed again: "If you don't leave, how am I supposed to change clothes"

"I can just change like this," Xia Tian said with an innocent expression, "I really enjoy watching you change clothes."

"You..." Shu Jing glared at Xia Tian; was this rogue fond of seeing her unclothed

"Jing!" An adult's voice called out from outside at that moment.

"Dad, I'm coming out!" Shu Jing hurriedly responded and gritted her teeth. She no longer forced Xia Tian to leave and quickly took off the basketball jersey, put on a tight dress she wore when posing as a car model from her wardrobe, and then changed into high heels. Thankfully, Xia Tian didn't do anything during this process, which made Shu Jing feel relieved; she was worried he would take advantage of her while she was undressing.

"You can come out now!" After tidying up her clothes, Shu Jing looked at Xia Tian but found him staring at her with a strange expression. She felt very uncomfortable and shot him an annoyed glance as she said, "Why are you looking at me like that"

"My lovely wife Jingjing, you look even more beautiful in just your bra!" Xia Tian said seriously, then added, "But if you were completely naked, you would definitely be even more gorgeous."

"Pervert!" Shu Jing glared fiercely at Xia Tian before pulling the door open and stepping out.

In the living room, there were two men. One of them was that young man from earlier while the other was a middle-aged man in his late forties—Shu Ming, Shu Jing's father.

With her new outfit on, Shu Jing looked exceptionally sexy and eye-catching. The young man's gaze towards Shu Jing instantly turned heated as well, with an almost imperceptible hint of desire flashing in his eyes. However, upon seeing Xia Tian stepping out alongside Shu Jing, the young man’s expression became unfriendly and even a bit furious.

Shu Jing had just changed her clothes inside while this guy was also there—could it mean that their relationship must be very close

Su Shiming also frowned slightly. He knew that his daughter had never had a boyfriend, although she often hung out with the boys from the basketball team, but she always kept herself clean and pure. However, now not only did she bring back a boy, but she also changed clothes in front of him. In his opinion, it seemed that his daughter was quite fond of this boy.

If Su Jing knew that her dad misunderstood her so much, she would definitely feel like banging her head against the wall. She didn't like Xia Tian at all; this rogue was just bullying her.

"This is my father, he's called Su Shiming, but he likes it when others call him Teacher Su. Later on, you should greet him like that," Su Jing said to Xia Tian quickly and then looked at Su Shiming: "Dad, this is my boyfriend, Xia Tian."

After saying that, she poked Xia Tian with her finger and whispered softly, "Hurry up and call him!"

"Hello, Teacher Su," this time Xia Tian cooperated with Su Jing and really greeted Su Shiming.

"Nice to meet you, Xia Tian," Su Shiming was quite amiable in return, "You're also a student of our sports college"

"Dad, he's not a student here. You don't have to question his background when you first meet someone," Su Jing said with a tone that sounded like she was trying to be cute and affectionate. She didn't give Xia Tian the chance to speak because she knew the principle of "the more you talk, the more likely you'll slip up." If Xia Tian, this rogue, let out some astonishing words by accident, it would make her very embarrassed.in, the trail began to wind around Qingfeng Mountain like a ring road."The path above seems to have been constructed by someone," Zhao Yujiej thought, feeling confused.
