Chapter 242 Call Her Madam Xi

Merlin’s sincere apology made everyone believe that she was an honest and brave girl. She knew that she had made a mistake and knew to apologize. Everyone instantly felt that it was all right that they couldn’t get that beautiful girl. There was still the outstanding Miss Merlin.

Su Jin heard Merlin’s apology and broke free from Xi Chenxiao’s embrace. Her heartbeat also calmed down. The face-slapping incident was over yet this foreign woman wanted to make things difficult. She had to teach her a lesson. She looked at Merlin and said calmly,

“It’s fine, and there’s no need to apologize. Just remember, you owe me a request.”

Merlin quietly clenched her fists when she heard this. Her nails had dug into her flesh, but she kept a smile on her face. The extreme anger in her eyes, however, could not be hidden. After all, Merlin was noble young miss and when had she ever been bullied like this? Merlin replied with a faint smile,

“Of course, Miss Su Jin. I won’t forget our bet. It’s just that this request won’t be fulfilled so easily. Let’s have another match. It’ll be the same as the previous bet.”

Su Jin frowned. What did this horrible woman want? Could it be that she did not feel enough pain after being slapped in the face? Did foreigners enjoy trouble? It could be said now that Su Jin had crushed Merlin in more ways than one. Su Jin asked calmly,

“Oh? Are we going to compete in singing

again?”

It would be more troublesome if it was a singing competition. After all, Su Jin’s voice had just recently recovered. She had struggled to sing just now and would need to nurse her voice to make sure there would not be any problems down the road. She could not sing as often as before.

Xi Chenxiao heard their conversation and frowned. He looked coldly at Merlin. When was this woman going to stop? He looked at Su Jin’s frown and thought that perhaps she has had enough, so he said plainly,

“My dear wife, just decline if you don’t want to. I’m here.”

Merlin became angrier after hearing Xi Chenxiao’s words. How could he protect her like that? Did he really think that Merlin was that easy to bully? No matter what, she must find a way to regain her face tonight. This matter would not be laid to rest just like that. She snorted, “Miss Su Jin, please don’t joke. How can I compete with your superb singing? Let’s compete in a violin duet. You and I each choose a partner. Of course, it must be onsite. If you decline, the previous bet will be voided.”

The crowd was a little disappointed when they heard Merlin. This was not the sincere and polite girl from just now. If she lost the bet, she lost. How could she not admit it? And she’s now forcing the other person to cancel the previous bet? Merlin saw their gazes and quickly explained,

“Miss Su Jin, please don’t misunderstand. I’ve always thought that geniuses are hard to come by. You performed so well just now. I’d really like to know if Miss Su Jin is also talented in other aspects.”

Xi Chenxiao frowned. This woman had always referred to his wife as Su Jin, never Madam Xi. Her intentions were deplorable and she must be corrected. He must let everyone know that this girl belonged to him, Xi Chenxiao, and no one should try anything funny. He said coldly, “Call her Madam Xi.”

Merlin was stunned. What’s going on? Wasn’t this girl Su Jin? Su Jin looked at Xi Chenxiao, confused. Why did he insist that Merlin call her Madam Xi? Does it really matter? Everyone knows that I’m your wife!

Xi Chenxiao held Su Jin’s hand and looked at Merlin coldly with threat in his eyes. Merlin’s lack of response after a long while and the confusion on Su Jin’s face changed his mind about explaining himself. He opened his mouth slowly and said coldly to Merlin,

“Su Jin is my, Xi Chenxiao’s, lover, so you must call her Madam Xi.”

A hint of shyness flashed across Su Jin’s face. It was just a form of address, why was there a need to be so serious? Must Merlin call her that? Could it be that the crowd still did not know? The actions just now had already explained everything, right?
