The CEO's Wife Has A Secret - Chapter 106 - Father

Since her husband said that he will pick her up she decided to leave the office earlier than usual and even notified her grandfather about it so that they could have the dinner earlier.

This way even if there is something important that they have to discuss it would still be considerably early when they finished.

The drive was about 30-40 minutes. When she arrived in front of the enormous gate it opened automatically, the guard stationed at the guardhouse smiled, she rolled her window down and greeted the person, "Good evening, uncle. It's been a while."

The guard has been with them for a few years and so she is familiar with him.

"Good evening Young Miss, Welcome back!" she was greeted back in a very lively manner just how it has always been.

She may have been married to the Lim Family now but that doesn't change the fact that she is still a part of the Xi Family and having that said she will always be the 'Young Miss' of this family until the day that the next generation is finally born.

Admittedly, ever since she got married there are only few times when she visited here. The times she had spent with her grandfather and brother were mostly dining outside or something of the sort.

Furthermore, even before that it was rare to see her come back an so the people in the mansion would also be so enthusiastic to see her.

She had lived outside the country for so many years and when she finally came back she lived on her own penthouse and now that she is married of course she is already living in her house with her husband and so the rare visit becomes even rarer.

The house was still a little bit farther from the gate and so there is a need to drive for a minute or so before arriving at the mansion.

If you will think about it, this house is big but lonely. The only people who are living in this mansion is the direct family of the head. Her grandfather being the head has that privilege. In their case, their family now only consists of her grandfather, her brother, and herself.

Aside from them, the only people who are living here are the servants and guards.

Her grandfather was widowed early and was only left with a daughter, though it was like that her grandfather didn't even consider remarrying even though he was still fairly young at that time. Unfortunately, even his only daughter was taken away from him. That's why she knew that their grandfather treats her and Xi Chen as treasures.

She got out of the car once she finished parking, she had not yet reach the front porch of the house when an enthusiastic young man suddenly approached her. "Ana Jie, you're here!"

Xi Ana was given a bear hug by her younger brother, which she found funny considering that they almost see each other everyday at the company. "They are already preparing the food the moment we were notified of your arrival at the gate but it may still take a while so grandfather told me that you should meet him first in his study."

It seems like her grandfather really has some important matters to discuss.

"Alright then." she answered nonchalantly.

She walked through the main hall and went to the study without unnecessary delays. Upon reaching front of the sturdy mahogany door of the her grandfather's study she knocked three times before opening the door.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#'s-wife-has-a-secret_14496266906619705/father_50466578793296949">#'s-wife-has-a-secret_14496266906619705/father_50466578793296949</a> for visiting.

"Grand father." she greeted politely.

When she looked at the facial expression that her grandfather has she can already tell that what they were gonna talk about is something serious after all.

"Take a seat." she followed what her grandfather said and sat down as she carefully observed her grandfather.

Just what is actually the purpose of this conversation and what is the reason of her being there right now.

"Ana, there is something I need to tell you." there was a hint of reluctance in his voice but it was very small rather the determination is could clearly be heard.

Just now Xi Ana felt like the continuation of this conversation is something she didn't want to hear,"What is it?"

"It's about your father."

The seriousness on his voice can clearly be heard and there is no doubt that her grandfather said the word 'father'.

This conversation has already been shelved for so many years but one cannot avoid forever and she knows that but it doesn't hurt to resist a little, right?

"I don't have a father, we don't have a father."

"Ana, do you still resent your father?" that is also a question she wanted to answer.

Maybe it was not a resentment that she has but disappointment, she is so disappointed that she didn't want to see him nor acknowledge him again in her life.

"Rather than resentment, let's just say that I don't see the need for a father."

Her grandfather stayed silent for a while before finally speaking the thing he really wanted to say tonight, "I've already consented of him coming back. It's already time for him to come back, right?"

Xi Ana was frozen still at what she heard, it's already so long that she can't even remember what he looks like but matters aside, regarding that last sentence of her grandfather she realized what is the real purpose of tonight.

This is not seeking for her permission, this is something that has already been decided that even if she drowned herself her grandfather would not change his mind anymore.

This is not a negotiation, it's an announcement.

"Since you've already made the decision there is nothing left of me to comment on. We don't need to discuss this further." she stood and was prepared to leave the study.

"Xi Ana."

"If he is coming back then I won't say anything about that anymore, he can just do whatever he wants but don't expect me to happily accept him as if he never left at all. Xi Chen is already old enough to decide on his own so we can just let that person explain himself, I won't interfere. Now please excuse me for my rude behavior, Grandfather."
