Because of some personal and family reasons, she decided to leave the hospital as soon as she recovered, and this is why she didn't contact him.
Because without resolving those issues and problems, Xi Hong didn't want Xiao to get involved with her, and thus she didn't answer or clarify what their relationship actually was.
But now that she had finally resolved those issues, she felt it was finally time to clarify their relationship and also for Xiao to learn about her family and meet them.
Xiao was slightly surprised after hearing all this, but not too much because he had expected something like this to happen. Because with Xi Hong's personality, she would never do or act in an unreasonable way.
If she chose to do so, then there had to be some kind of reason involved.
Then, after some short chat and talking about many other normal things, Hong nodded to him as she told him about her family.
Xiao was really shocked after learning about her family background.
Well, to be honest, he had expected her to belong to a rich and wealthy family because of the way she looked, spoke, and acted around anything related to money.
The most obvious example was her nonchalant attitude toward money, as though, in her eyes, it was nothing but numbers.
Because of all those reasons combined, he thought that she came from a lot of money. But now that he had actually learned what her family did and what kind of family she came from,
to say that he was shocked would be an understatement. Because the family Xi Hong belonged to was not some random rich family.
Instead, they were an ultra wealthy family that operated a multinational bank and many other companies around the world.
They had power and influence spreading across the entire world, managing wealth worth trillions of dollars.
Making Xiao look at his newly made girlfriend with a dumbfounded expression as he thought.
'Is my girlfriend from that infamous Rothschild family or something? Like damn, they almost control the world's money. Dammit, even though I am rich, I feel like I got myself a sugar mommy. If I am rich, then she's filthy rich.'
Xiao smiled bitterly as he criticized himself.
'Is that what they call eating soft rice? And that too from a sugar mommy? Dammit!'
After that, he somehow calmed down and asked what the exact reason or the main emergency was that had led her to leave the hospital so hastily.
Because he believed that even though all the other reasons she had mentioned before were true,
he was more interested in knowing the exact and main reason for her sudden departure.
Before, Xiao wouldn't have asked this because he believed in keeping boundaries and respecting each other's privacy. But now that they were officially in a relationship,
he felt that he at least deserved to know.
But if Xi Hong was not comfortable with it or didn't want to share, then he would not force it, as he believed in a relationship of mutual respect and equality.
If his partner was unwilling to share, that was fine too.
To his question, she replied that because her family was very influential and powerful, they naturally had candidates competing for the position of leading the family.
And naturally, there was more than one candidate running for it.
She was one of those candidates, and the one with the highest standing.
Because of this, there was always internal conflict going on among the family candidates over who would become the family head and have the ultimate power and authority to rule and lead the family.
And from her birth until now, she had been a part of that conflict.
Because of this, there had been numerous assassination attempts against her.
But whether it was because of luck or not, she had always survived every one of those assassination attempts. During one of those assassination attempts,
she had received severe injuries to her legs, causing one leg to break and the other to fracture. Thus, she had been in the hospital to receive treatment.
At first, the doctors were more or less hopeless, just like in Xiao's situation. Because the injuries to her legs would normally take a very long time to heal.
But just like him, for some unknown reason, or perhaps a miracle, her leg injuries recovered very quickly. It was almost record breaking.
She even joked that there was some kind of miraculous power in him that had helped her heal so quickly. At that statement, Xiao laughed lightly as he explained that it was simply a coincidence.
As he believed that he was not some Superman with strange magical abilities.
After that, he asked if resolving the issues within her family meant that she was now the family heir and would lead the family from now on. To which she replied that she had indeed taken care of everything and had dealt with everyone.
But to lead the family, she first needed to prove that she was capable of doing so, and in the coming years, she would do exactly that with ease.
The quiet confidence and calm way she spoke made Xiao stare at her in amazement as he once again realized why he had fallen for this woman in the first place.
In his eyes, her actions, words, and personality were incredibly charming.
For him, she always somehow managed to attack his weak spot.
After that, they shifted their conversation as both of them talked about much more mundane and casual things.
Xi Hong also asked how his grandmother was and whether her health was okay. She said that she would visit her soon and told him to give her greetings.
After spending some more time chatting with each other, she finally left. But before leaving, she kissed him on the cheek as she left the café.
Causing Xiao to sit straight at his table in the café with a dreamy smile on his face.
After a few moments, he shook his head.
'Dammit, she's a very capable, ideal, and charming partner to have. But she's a damn yandere. I can smell that from miles away. Well, not everyone is perfect. If I were in the same shoes as her, then I guess I would be the same.'
