Her Waywardness

In Chi Yi’s bedroom—

Su Jieyu stood before Chi Yi and presented an exquisitely wrapped gift box to her. “Yiyi, here’s a little gift that I brought back from the UK for you. Open it and see if you like it.”

Pretending that she had heard nothing at all, the latter did not bother sparing the former a single glance. Instead, she lounged on the sofa and played a game on her cell phone while habitually chewing on a piece of gum.

“Chi the Fourth.”

Chi Zuxu’s forehead creased in displeasure.

Only then did the lass look at the man before her.

“Take the gift!” His face was solemn.

She cast him a gaze with her glistening eyes before taking a glimpse at the woman who had a pretentious smile plastered on her face. She slowly reached out for the gift, then tossed it into the bin beside her without so much as a look at it and did not forget to add, “I have received plenty of such souvenirs each time my parents come back from abroad that my drawers can no longer contain them!”

No matter how strong Su Jieyu’s patience and endurance was, even she could no longer bear the sight of that lass’ haughty look. The smile on her stiff face began to show signs of cracks and her face was turning into an awful shade of purple.

“Pick it up!”

A cold and hard command abruptly interrupted the confrontation between the two women.

It was Chi Zuxu.

His voice was as frigid as an icy pond and his tone was firm and irrefutable.

“Nope!”

Chi Yi’s attitude was even firmer than his.

Having been showered with love as she grew up, Chi the Fourth had never been afraid of anyone.

Even if the person was her third uncle!

“Chi the Fourth—”

His frigid face completely darkened as he coolly warned her, “Don’t you test my patience with your waywardness!”

That glare from him got her panicking somewhat.

Truth be told, she was just a meek paper tiger who would turn into a pushover after getting yelled at a few times.

How can I put down my pride and eat the humble pie by picking up the gift right in front of that woman now?! It’s too humiliating! No way am I gonna do that!

And so, she sat there motionless without a peep.

“Zuxu, don’t be so fierce to her, she’s just an insensible kid. We can slowly teach her…” chipped in Su Jieyu from the side, putting a good word on her behalf. However, from what she saw, that woman was just being pretentious.

‘We can slowly teach her’? Who’s the ‘we’? And, who needs her teaching? In what capacity is she going to teach me? My Third Aunt? Dream on!!

An inexplicable ball of fury instantly surged from within. Feeling irked, Chi Yi screeched at the other woman, “I don’t care about such gifts!! It’s nothing but garbage to me! I don’t care about it at all! And, I might be insensible, but you have no right to lecture me! Dreaming of becoming a member of my family? Hell yeah, over my dead body!!”

As soon as she vented her frustrations, she rushed out of her bedroom.

“You—”

Su Jieyu’s face turned pale from infuriation.

Even Chi Zuxu’s dashing looks were now taut and his eyes were somewhat dark. He bent down to pick up the gift box that his niece had dumped into the bin earlier and handed it over to her. “Don’t go to the expense of buying gifts anymore!”

“…” Feeling aggrieved, she bit down on her lower lip, her face looking ashen and awful.

“I apologize for her waywardness. She’s still young, so she says and does a lot of mindless things. You don’t have to pay much attention to them.”
