Chapter 28: Grandma, Don't Make It Sound Like I Abducted Her

It turned out that Old Madam Xu hadn't gone to bed yet. She simply took some rest to regain her energy. The sole purpose was to unleash her wrath on Calix.

"Hurry and go ah," Vernon pushed the sacrificial lamb Calix alone in a direction, "Come back alive."@@@@

"..."

Thus, a defeated-looking Calix headed to Old Madam Xu's bedroom. Seeing how slumped his shoulders were made Leslie feel sorry for him. She quietly tailed him from behind.

Old Madam Xu's bedroom was at the end of a hallway on the first floor. Right outside the room was her private garden, separated by the sliding wooden door. She loved being there from time to time.

The garden was enclosed by an inner stone wall where a few bodyguards were stationed outside. They were able to quickly jump over the high wall if an emergency happened.

Standing outside the room, Calix gestured at the closed door while raising his brows. His eyes fell on Leslie.

"Wanna come inside? If you wanna see your grandmother-in-law's prowess in disciplining me, you can tag along. Not like she can see you anyway."

Leslie stifled her laughter. Tilting her head, she asked jokingly, "And see your grandmother caning you for being naughty? CEO Xu, you've really amazed me ah."

This guy really didn't act his age. He was already thirty-two yet, his actions showed as if he aged backward. Even a high schooler wouldn't be as mischievous as him.

Well... how did he look like when he was in high school? Surely, many female students admired him, right?

Most probably, the group made up of Calix, Xander and their close friends was as popular as the one in a classic teen drama.

Realizing that her thinking had gone strayed, Leslie inwardly shook her head. The faint color of blush tinged her cheeks.

"Go inside alone ah. I don't wanna see such an undignified scene of you being punished."

Leslie almost stuttered, trying to hide the embarrassing thoughts from showing on her face

"Haa... you're right."

Calix let out a sigh, thinking what would happen once he faced his grandmother. He knocked on the door twice before immediately opening it.

"I'll wait here," Leslie chuckled, "Behave. Don't make her blood pressure high because of you."

"...thanks for your pep talk. It's really helpful."

In the next second, Calix's figure disappeared behind the door.

"...yeah, yeah. Nothing we can do now."

Calix nodded like a chicken pecking grain.

"Still dare to talk back, you brat?" shouted Old Madam Xu.

"..."

Old Madam Xu had a small frame. Compared to the towering Calix, she could barely reach her grandson's chest. Yet, she seemed to be imposingly gigantic in front of him right now.

"Aiyaa... Forget it. It's my fault for pushing you to get married," Old Madam Xu kept pressing her temples, "Oh, poor girl. What should I do to make it up to her? She's just a victim."

Calix was speechless.

"...Grandma, don't make it sound like I abducted her."

"You dare to say that? Huh?"

Old Madam Xu glared at her grandson. Her fiery eyes shut Calix's mouth once again.

"Aiyo, forget it. Just forget it."

An exhausted Old Madam Xu waved her right hand. Calix sat quietly as he waited for the next words coming from her grandmother's mouth.

"But, I'm curious."

Old Madam Xu glanced at Calix. Her twisted eyebrows expressed the questions lingering in her mind. The young man still replied nothing.

"This old lady has known you from a young age ah. Calix, you won't randomly pick a lady just because she's in a coma. Is there something I don't know?"

Calix smiled, his gaze showed no fluctuations, "What? Are you guessing something, Grandma?"

Old Madam Xu squinted her eyes, trying to peer into her grandson's heart.

Even though Calix was always being playful, he was still capable of hiding his true feelings. If not, he wouldn't be suited to be the heir.

"Calix, do you actually have feelings for her? To Charlene?"

Calix continued smiling. He answered nothing to Old Madam Xu's question.
