With just one look, Chen Changan could see what Meng Family Head was thinking.
Disdain. Regret.
Clearly, the more outstanding Meng Xiaoxiao was now, the more Meng Family Head regretted his decision.
How had he ever thought of sending such an outstanding girl to marry that useless young master of the Chen Family?
"Chen Changan pays his respects to his future father-in-law."
Meng Family Head's mouth twitched at Chen Changan's words. He had a knack for saying exactly what Meng Family Head didn't want to hear.
Meng Family Head was already regretting his decision, and Chen Changan's words only made him feel worse.
Still, Meng Family Head wasn't a child. He knew how to keep up appearances.
"Hahahaha!"
"My dear nephew, it's been years. How have you been?"
"Have you still not solved your cultivation problem?" Meng Family Head returned the favor, bringing up a sore subject.
"It's a small problem. Solving it or not makes no difference."
"I may not be able to cultivate, but my future wife is incredible."
"Wouldn't you agree?" Chen Changan said with a smile.
"Indeed. Our Xiao Xiao is truly outstanding."
"Truly outstanding."
Meng Family Head put particular emphasis on those last words. He was sure Chen Changan understood what he meant.
Xiao Xiao was so outstanding. Did Chen Changan really think he was still worthy of her?
"You're absolutely right."
"But Xiao Xiao belongs to our family now."
"After all, only someone this outstanding could be worthy of me," Chen Changan said with a smile.
Chen Changan's words had some sting, but they weren't devastating. What nearly made Meng Family Head lose his composure was Xiao Xiao standing beside him and nodding earnestly.
What did that nod mean?
Did she actually agree with him?
Meng Family Head gave Chen Changan a humorless smile,
