She didn't consider them her family at all. To her, they were just familiar faces that had the same name and blood relation, but that was all. They were not worthy of being called her family; they were just family in name only.
Hearing this, Xiao was surprised and not surprised at the same time. He wasn't surprised because he had expected Xi Hong not to consider her uncles, aunts, and cousins as her family.
As she was the kind of person that if you did something for her, gave her respect, and showed her kindness, then she would repay you with the best of her ability and would secretly care for you, even though she would not show it directly.
That's the kind of person she was, and this was one of the reasons Xiao liked her so much, as he also believed in the motto of giving respect and receiving respect.
Anyway, he was surprised that she didn't have any siblings or any elders in the family. Only her mother and father.
He did not think that because of any specific reason at all. Instead, he had simply expected her to have a rather big family, that's all.
'Wait! She's the only child of her parents. Doesn't that mean I am done for after stealing their only child? Dammit!'
Thinking about all sorts of wild and crazy things that might happen during the family gathering with her parents for committing a crime that he shouldn't have, Xiao broke out into a cold sweat as he thought.
'Oh no! I am really... uh, what? Ah yes, a damn sinner.'
He let out a bitter smile as he thought jokingly.
'I just hope that they won't kill me outright.'
But even though he was thinking about this jokingly, Xiao was really slightly nervous about meeting her parents. And he could only hope that this yandere girlfriend of his would save him from this tribulation.
Seeing Xiao's bitter smile and how nervous he looked, to the point that even his legs were slightly shaking awkwardly.
Xi Hong smiled as she reached out to hold his hand.
"Don't worry, Xiao. My parents won't eat you alive. Since we are currently boyfriend and girlfriend, and in the future we will be getting married, it's only natural for them to meet you."
She comforted him.
"So don't overthink it and just meet them. I am sure that you will like them."
Xiao was really glad and grateful for that. He resisted the urge to kiss her right then and there. But then he noticed something amiss in her voice. Not the part where she told him that he would like her parents,
But the part where she said that they would be getting married. For some reason, when she said that, her lips curled up slightly into a sinister and sadistic grin, and her eyes also darkened slightly.
It was as though she knew and was extremely confident that they would definitely get married, and the way her yandere tendencies screamed with confidence.
Xiao wouldn't be surprised if she actually killed anyone or everyone to make it happen, or even kidnapped him and locked him in a basement if necessary.
'Dammit, what the hell did I get myself into? Oh gods, yanderes are just too scary.'
Xiao felt his heart grow cold from this yandere side of hers.
'But damn, I really like this side of her as well. Just what the hell is wrong with me? My girlfriend is a yandere by nature, but here I am feeling more turned on seeing her yandere side rather than feeling scared of it.'
Xiao criticized the nature of their relationship in his mind as he thought that there was something wrong with them. They were really just a mentally ill couple.
Anyway, after that, the rest of the journey went by very peacefully. After being comforted by her, Xiao did not bring up anything serious or any important topics.
Instead, they spent the rest of their journey comfortably as they chatted and discussed many things.
After that, time passed by, and soon an hour had gone by. During that hour, they had also reached their destination. It was a five star hotel, and to be honest, Xiao had expected something like this.
Because the standard and way of living that his girlfriend usually had could simply be described as luxurious. It wasn't that she liked to show off or anything like that, but from what he had learned about her, she had simply been taught to live like this from childhood. Because of this, in some ways, her sense of normalcy and the things she considered normal were something Xiao found rather broken and abnormal.
Because he had been raised by his grandmother after losing his parents, he did not grow into a spoiled rich brat or anything like that. His grandmother, even though she loved and spoiled him very much.
Was also very strict and serious whenever she taught him things related to money and would never simply allow him to waste it as he pleased. And Xiao was really glad that she had raised him this way.
Because this allowed him to develop his critical thinking abilities, intelligence, and many of his current qualities. All of those things had made him a better person in life who only cared about his family and friends and didn't give a flying fuck about anyone else.
Looking at the luxurious hotel in front of him, Xiao thought to himself.
'Here we go. I hope that everything else goes well.'
Then he turned to Xi Hong, who had been holding his hand from the moment they had come out of the car, and nodded to her.
Seeing him nod, Xi Hong smiled as she spoke.
"Let's go."
With that, both of them began walking toward the hotel entrance as they entered it. After that, the events that happened inside the hotel and his meeting with Xi Hong's parents were something that he had not expected at all.
Hours later, the car drove along as Xi Hong was driving while Xiao was sitting beside her.
She looked at him and smiled.
"What? Are you still surprised? Can't believe that things went this smoothly?"
