Chapter 10 Do you think I'm old?

"Uncle, please understand. I am truly wronged!"

Cen Du hurriedly proved his innocence. Kneeling in the ancestral hall was really uncomfortable. He didn't want to anger the King of Hell and kneel again!

Regardless of whether it was a misunderstanding or not, it was not a good topic to be mentioned in public, and Cen Xihuai was not someone they could joke with.

Although everyone was curious, they did not dare to bring bad luck and get into trouble.

Xu Qingwu quietly pulled the hem of Cen Xihuai's shirt under the table.

Cen Xihuai placed the wine glass on the table with neither heavy nor lightness, and said in a gentle voice, "It's not proper to make such a scene at a family dinner."

Cen Du slid to his knees: "Uncle, I was wrong."

Cen Xihuai looked at Cen Du's father and said, "Second brother, isn't it time for Xiao Du to join the company for some experience?"

Cen Du's parents' eyes lit up, and they didn't care about Cen Du's life or death at all: "It's long overdue. This child has a strong desire to play."

Cen Du was about to cry. What had he done wrong? Why did he suddenly lose his freedom?

"Dad, Mom, I'm still young..."

Cen Xihuai smiled: "In my opinion, it's time to find a marriage for Xiaodu so that he can focus on his studies. Xiaoyue has become much more stable after getting married."

Cen Yue nodded repeatedly: "That's right!"

Cen Du glared at her, but when he met Qi Yan's cold warning eyes, he shrank back. He couldn't afford to offend his sister's husband.

But what on earth did he do wrong?

Except for the injured Cen Du, everyone finished the meal in peace and harmony. Then, Old Master Cen called Cen Xihuai and Xu Qingwu to the study room alone.

The old man asked, "Have you signed a prenuptial agreement?"

Xu Qingwu's heart tightened.

The two families' interests are tied together in marriage, but for the sake of safety they will basically sign a prenuptial agreement. After all, business is permanent, but love is not necessarily long-lasting. If something unexpected happens, it will be a huge blow to both families.

Is the old man here to call for punishment?

Cen Xihuai said calmly: "There is no need."

The old man slammed his cane down on the ground. Xu Qingwu jumped in surprise. Cen Xihuai was a little displeased: "Dad, you scared my wife."

The old man looked dignified: "Why is it unnecessary? Can you guarantee that you will never divorce and will not harm the interests of the Cen family?"

"I can." Cen Xihuai said firmly, "Since I decided to get married, I have never thought about divorce."

The old man, who was originally full of anger, suddenly laughed. When he heard his eldest daughter-in-law's drunken joke at the dinner table, he thought that Cen Xihuai and Xu Qingwu had joined forces to fool him and do the kind of marriage agreement that was popular among young people like them.

Now he felt relieved after hearing Cen Xihuai's assurance. His son would keep his word and would not go back on his word.

The old man handed Xu Qingwu a brown paper bag and said with a smile, "Qingwu, were you scared just now?"

Xu Qingwu shook her head obediently.

The old man motioned for her to open the paper bag. Xu Qingwu took out the document, which was a share donation agreement, and the recipient was in her name alone.

"At first, I didn't know that you and Xihuai didn't sign a prenuptial agreement. You are so much younger than him, and I was worried that you would be bullied, so I drafted this document to protect your rights."

The separate gift notarized after marriage is her own marital property.

Xu Qingwu's eyes were moist.

The old man laughed: "Why do you look like you're about to cry? You're richer than Xi Huai now."

Xu Qingwu returned the equity agreement to the old man: "Dad, I don't need it. We won't get divorced, and I can't spend all my money in my lifetime."

Hearing her words, the old man was even more delighted: "I will give one to each of my son and daughter. I am not partial. This is originally for you. Take it, take it."

Xu Qingwu looked at Cen Xihuai for help.

Cen Xihuai's expression remained calm as he made the decision for her directly: "Keep it. Consider it his apology for scaring you just now."

Xu Qingwu: "..." You are also a person who can talk.

In the end, Xu Qingwu accepted the gift agreement. After all, it was their deserved share. At worst, she could transfer it to Cen Xihuai later.

After giving them a big gift, the old man asked them to stay overnight, and Xu Qingwu agreed.

The banquet was over and everyone went home.

The two stayed in Cen Xihuai's room.

It is still decorated in Cen Xihuai's style, with black, white and grey as the colors, exactly the same as the master bedroom in Chu Yue Mansion.

There were only two people left in the room. Xu Qingwu thought of what happened at the dinner table before, and now she wanted to hide when she saw Cen Xihuai.

Wouldn't Cen Xihuai punish her by making her kneel in the ancestral hall after he found out the truth?

Seeing how scared Cen Du was, he knew that kneeling in the ancestral hall was not an easy task.

"I'll go find Xiaoyue."

Best friend is a panacea excuse, but Cen Xihuai doesn't allow her to use it.

"What do you want to see her for?"

"I don't have any clothes to sleep in here, I'll borrow some from her."

Xu Qingwu really admired her clever little brain. She stayed up until eleven o'clock before coming back. Cen Xihuai would definitely not bother her again if he wanted to go to bed on time.

Cen Xihuai said calmly, "It's in the wardrobe."

Xu Qingwu opened it and it was really there, with everything he needed.

If you can't avoid it, just face it. And in the final analysis, it can't be considered her fault. She was also very panicked because she recognized the wrong person.

Xu Qingwu confessed without hesitation: "I admit that I was wrong before. I didn't know the marriage partner was you."

"So you agreed to the marriage in the first place because of Cen Du."

Declarative sentences, not interrogative sentences.

Xu Qingwu nodded: "I guess so." She initially thought that since they were just playing their own games, it didn't matter who they married. Cen Du only had one sister, and their family relationships were simple.

The dark color in Cen Xihuai's eyes deepened, and he narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do you like someone like Cen Du?"

What's good about being a playboy?

Xu Qingwu explained: "No, it's just the right age..."

"Do you think I'm old?"

"No, I didn't!"

Xu Qingwu was a little anxious because of him, and she said frankly: "At first I thought that Cen Du was Xiaoyue's cousin, and this relationship was quite convenient. He likes to play, so after marriage we just don't interfere with each other."

"Like you said at the beginning?"

Xu Qingwu nodded.

After hearing Xu Qingwu's complete explanation, the haze in Cen Xihuai's eyes dissipated, and he suddenly felt a little happy.

She didn't want to have an intimate relationship with Cen Du, but she agreed to it last night.

Xu Qingwu lowered her head slightly, the blush spreading from her cheeks to the tips of her ears, like a peach waiting to be picked.

Cen Xihuai's throat rolled slightly.

"Madam, intimacy also includes kissing, holding hands, hugging..."

"Um?"

"I mean, have you ever been kissed?"

No, why did the topic suddenly turn to kissing?

Is this a new fatal question?

Cen Xihuai locked his gaze on her: "Answer me, and don't lie."

Does a simple encounter count? She and her ex-boyfriend had kissed on the cheek while playing Dare or Not.

"Is it considered as taking it?"

Cen Xihuai grabbed her wrist and pulled her onto his lap.

He took off his gold-rimmed glasses and put them aside, looking up at Xu Qingwu, the darkness in his eyes deepened, and his voice was as mellow and intoxicating as if soaked in aged whiskey.

"I didn't take it. Madam taught me."
