Chapter 269 A Love for Male Homosexuality?

Xi Ningzhi glared at Xiao Siyuan, but the glare had no deterrent effect whatsoever; instead, it made Xiao Siyuan feel a surge of excitement.

Xi Ningzhi's charming face looked even more beautiful under the light.

"Zhizhi, it's time for our wedding night." Xiao Siyuan turned around and pinned Xi Ningzhi down.

"Ah!" Xi Ningzhi exclaimed in surprise, her lips were sealed by Xiao Siyuan's kiss.

The next day, Xi Ningzhi changed into a married woman's hairstyle and came side by side with Xiao Siyuan, wearing a red ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress).

The Xiao family members were already waiting in the main hall.

After the two paid their respects to their elders, Old Lady Xiao said to Xi Ningzhi, "Ningzhi, our family doesn't have many rules, so you don't need to be too reserved. Do whatever you want. Sleep in a little longer in the mornings, and you don't need to pay your respects."

Old Mrs. Xiao had heard that the young ladies and wives of wealthy families had to pay their respects to their mothers-in-law and others every day.

"Thank you, Grandma. My granddaughter-in-law understands." Xi Ningzhi nodded. In fact, Xiao Siyuan had already told her all this.

She liked the Xiao family very much; they were humane, even though they didn't have many rules.

"Oh, that's good. From now on, you and Siyuan should get along well. Our daughter-in-law won't be wronged. If anyone dares to make you feel bad, just tell your old lady, and she'll stand up for you."

Old Mrs. Xiao quite liked this granddaughter-in-law. Although her family background was better than her own, she didn't put on airs. Even though they had only spent a short time together, Old Mrs. Xiao could already tell that.

Moreover, Old Lady Xiao naturally believed that someone could get along well with her granddaughter.

This is the key point: Old Mrs. Xiao unconditionally believes in her granddaughter.

These past few days, Xiao Siyuan and Xi Ningzhi have been inseparable, spending all their time together, and Xiao Siyue hasn't bothered them.

Xiao Siyuan was riding high, and all the pressure at home fell on Xiao Sizhe, this older single man.

Previously, only Aunt Xiao would urge them, but now Old Lady Xiao has also joined in.

"Sizhe, you're not getting any younger, aren't you planning to get married yet? Look at your third brother and sister-in-law, aren't you envious?" After dinner, Old Mrs. Xiao kept Xiao Sizhe behind and said earnestly.

"Grandma, I'm not envious." Xiao Sizhe had a smile on his face and his tone was very gentle, but what he said was quite hurtful.

Was that what she wanted to ask? She wanted to know when they planned to get married.

"Sizhe, look at me, I'm getting old and I don't know when I'll be gone. I just want to see you get married and have children before I leave." Old Mrs. Xiao was going to use a conciliatory approach, so she deliberately covered her face with her sleeve and pretended to cry.

"Grandma, don't cry, you don't have any tears left." Xiao Sizhe was quite helpless. He didn't know what was wrong with his grandmother lately, but she kept urging him to get married every day.

"Ahem, Sizhe, it's not that Grandma is pressuring you. Look at your older brother, he already has two kids, and you don't even have one yet. Don't you want to have a child for fun?"

"Grandma, children are not to be trifled with."

"Hey, Sizhe, tell Grandma the truth, is it... is it..." Old Mrs. Xiao hesitated to say it.

"Grandma, what do you mean by 'not'?" Xiao Sizhe was a little confused. What was his grandma talking about? He didn't understand. What was there that couldn't be said? Why did she look so troubled?

Old Mrs. Xiao gritted her teeth: "Sizhe, do you have homosexual tendencies?"

"Cough cough... Grandma, what are you saying?" Xiao Sizhe coughed violently, startled by his grandmother's bold statement.

"Just tell Grandma, is it true or not?" Old Mrs. Xiao said, not feeling embarrassed at all, and quickly asked.

"Grandma, where did you hear that? How could I possibly have homosexual tendencies?" Xiao Sizhe was usually calm and composed, and even though he had been pressured to get married every day, he hadn't shown any impatience. But now he completely lost his composure, and his face was flushed.

"Really not? Sizhe, don't lie to Grandma. Even if you have homosexual tendencies, Grandma... Grandma will support you." Old Mrs. Xiao was incredibly open-minded.

Xiao Siyue isn't here. If Xiao Siyue were here, Grandma would definitely deserve a round of applause for being even more open-minded than her.

"Grandma, really, no, please don't overthink it." At this moment, Xiao Sizhe just wanted to know who was talking nonsense to his grandmother, which was ruining his reputation.

"No, then why don't you get married?" Old Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Sizhe with suspicion.

"Grandma, I just haven't met the girl I like yet. Besides, I've only been working for a short time now, and I'm very busy every day." Xiao Sizhe quickly explained, afraid that her grandmother would say something earth-shattering and unbelievable again.

"Alright then, but don't be in a rush, otherwise it will be harder to find someone when you get older." Only then did Old Lady Xiao believe her.

"Don't worry, Grandma, I'll definitely consider it when I have some free time."

"Ah That's good."

"Grandma, can you tell me where you heard all this from?" Xiao Sizhe couldn't believe that his grandmother would come up with such an unbelievable thing as homosexuality.

Old Mrs. Xiao was a little embarrassed, as she had previously suspected her grandson.

"That Sizhe, I met a like-minded old lady when I was out shopping the other day. She told me that her neighbor has a son who is over twenty years old and has never gotten married. It turned out that he was gay and had been secretly seeing another man for a long time," said Old Lady Xiao.

“So…” Xiao Sizhe raised an eyebrow, so he suspected his own grandson, who was also in his twenties and unmarried.

"No, it's not that I thought you're not young anymore and you're still unmarried. Every time you bring it up, you have all sorts of reasons. I just thought about how your situations are somewhat similar, so..." Old Mrs. Xiao couldn't continue, feeling extremely embarrassed.

"Grandma, please don't overthink things anymore." Xiao Sizhe was both annoyed and amused.

"Yes, Grandma will definitely not overthink things once she knows," Old Mrs. Xiao quickly nodded.

After this awkward conversation, Old Lady Xiao stopped pressuring Xiao Sizhe. It was mainly because she was afraid that Xiao Sizhe had some problems that she wanted to test him.

A few days later, everyone in the Xiao family knew about the farcical incident. Xiao Siyue was lying in bed and almost laughed herself to death. How could her grandmother be so funny?

He still claims to have homosexual tendencies, but how could he possibly tell that his second brother has homosexual tendencies?

Xiao Sizhe hasn't known how to face his family's teasing looks these past few days. He doesn't even want to come back. His grandmother has really dug a huge hole for him.

Thank goodness it didn't get out, otherwise I would have been too ashamed to face anyone, Xiao Sizhe thought to himself.
