“Yue Yue, what do you want to talk about?” Xu Fan laughed.
“Brother, I have something important to tell you, think carefully about the date and please don’t make me remind you,” Xu Yue said with pursed lips and a hopeful expression.
“Ah…
let me think.” Xu Fan tried hard to remember.
“You big dummy, you can’t even remember something this important.”
Seeing that he hadn’t responded in ten seconds, Xu Yue frowned and huffed, “Hmph, in three days, it’s Mom’s birthday.”
“…”
Xu Fan’s face immediately became serious, and then he looked at his sister with resolute eyes and said in a low voice, “Alright, this time we two will go to Yanjing to celebrate Mom’s birthday.”
“Wow, that’s great!”
Xu Yue exclaimed with joy and then whispered, “Brother, these past few years it’s been only me with Mom, and only the two of us celebrate her birthday.
She always mentions how much more meaningful it would be if you were there too.”
“It’s all my fault, if only I had awakened sooner.”
Xu Fan lowered his head in self-reproach, then said after a moment of thought, “Yue Yue, we must fulfill Mom’s wish this time, let’s set off the day after tomorrow.”
“Okay, okay…
Mom will definitely be very happy to see you.”
Xu Yue’s smile was bright, but soon her expression turned anxious: “It’s just that, after going back, we’re likely to encounter a lot of unpleasant matters, especially concerning Second Uncle…and the other clan members probably won’t be very welcoming either.”
“Judging by your expression, you must be worried about the Qin Family’s attitude as well,” Xu Fan said as he realized her concerns.
“Brother, I…
I ran away, Qin Qinglong won’t just let things slide, and they say he’s really formidable,” Xu Yue lowered her head.
“My dear sister, just put your heart at ease.
With me protecting you, it doesn’t matter who comes.
Be it Qin Qinglong or Zhao Baihu, in front of me, dragons must coil and tigers must crouch.”
Xu Yue felt moved and much more reassured in her heart.
Indeed, sisters with brothers are always very fortunate.
For a moment, she felt fearless.
Back in the living room.
When Xu Yixue heard from Xu Fan that they would be going to Yanjing and returning to the Xu Family, she couldn’t help but feel nervous, constantly telling herself: An ugly wife has to meet her in-laws sooner or later.
To soothe her anxious mind.
“Husband, will your mom not like me?” she asked uneasily.
“Hehe…
You’re not an ugly wife, but a beautiful one.
My mom will be delighted to see you; it might even be the happiest she’s been in years.”
Xu Fan held her hand, comforting her.
“Sister-in-law, don’t worry.
My mom has a great personality; she’s not fierce at all and very easy to get along with.
Moreover, you are her daughter-in-law, and Tongtong is her little grandson; she’ll definitely be overjoyed,” Xu Yue also chimed in persuasively.
“That’s right, that’s right,” Xu Fan nodded vigorously.
“Daddy, Mommy, what are you talking about?” Tongtong asked, sucking his thumb and speaking in a baby voice.
“Haha, Mom and Dad are thinking about taking you to see Grandma,” Xu Fan said, playfully scraping Tongtong’s little nose with his finger.
“…”
The family’s laughter and cheerful chatter were unending, filled with joy and harmony.
In the end, they decided to set out for Zhonghai the evening after next.
“Xue’er, so you’re going to meet the parents now?”
That evening, upon hearing the news, Ye Xiaoning couldn’t help but exclaim, with Chen Shiyu, Wang Xiaolong, Xu Yunji, and Cui Dong also present.
“`
“Yes, is everyone going to join us, to celebrate my…
mother’s birthday!” Xu Yixue’s face turned red.
“Haha, we must go.
Besides, wherever Xue Jie is, I am there too, uh uh…
except for the bedroom.” Ye Xiaoning said, and then couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“You little rascal, your words are increasingly improper,” Xu Yixue said, shaking her head speechlessly.
“Xue’er, you can’t leave me behind.
If you all go, it would be boring for me to stay at home alone.”
Chen Shiyu also raised her little hand, smiling sweetly, “Dragon Hidden in the City’ has just wrapped up filming, and my schedule is now free, so I have time.”
“Shi Yu Jie, I remember you said you had an ad shoot scheduled for tomorrow,” Xu Yunji immediately exposed.
“Humph, mind your own business?
As such a big star, can’t I be capricious once or twice?”
Chen Shiyu glared and haughtily stuck out her full chest.
“Uh…
The big star has put on airs, forget I said anything,” Xu Yunji retorted with a pout, unwilling to show weakness, and then quickly winked and made faces at Xu Yixue, “Sis, I’m definitely coming along, even if it’s just to bolster the family’s presence.”
Hearing this reason, Xu Yixue didn’t know what to say for a moment.
“If it’s the birthday of our master’s mother, that means it’s the birthday of my master’s wife, I not only have to go, but I also have to prepare a gift.
Master, is your disciple doing the right thing?” Cui Dong said with a smile to Xu Fan.
????0.??
“It’s the thought that counts,” Xu Fan nodded.
Cui Dong was a bit mischievous by nature, but he was a good person, and Xu Fan had already accepted him in his heart.
When all eyes in the room turned to him, Wang Xiaolong’s face went red, and he opened his mouth: “I…
I…”
In the end, he still plucked up the courage and said, “Then, I might as well go too.”
“Xiao Long, what right do you have to go?
We all have proper reasons to go; don’t you need an excuse?” Cui Dong said teasingly with a laugh.
“I…”
Wang Xiaolong sneakily glanced at Xu Yue, only to see her looking back at him with a faint smile, unclear whether it was encouragement or a sneer.
He suddenly steeled himself, thinking, “I’m going all out!”
Then he straightened his face, stood tall and proud, and said in a sonorous voice, “As a man who is determined to marry Miss Xu Yue, I definitely have to take this opportunity to meet my future mother-in-law.”
Immediately, there was silence in the room, and you could almost hear a pin drop.
Everyone looked at him in surprise, not expecting him to be so blunt, and then their gazes kept shifting between Xu Yue and Wang Xiaolong.
Xu Yue felt her cheeks burning, so embarrassed that she wished she could crawl into a hole in the ground.
Unable to hold back, she grabbed the pillow in her lap and threw it fiercely at Wang Xiaolong.
Wang Xiaolong tried to dodge instinctively, but when he jumped aside, he accidentally stepped on a banana peel thrown by Tongtong, and immediately slipped, falling face-first in an extremely awkward manner, with blood gushing from his nose.
“You…
how could you be so careless?”
Xu Yue was startled, hurried over to help him up, and said with a mixture of blame and concern.
“Hehe…
It’s nothing.”
Wang Xiaolong took the opportunity to hold onto Xu Yue’s little hand, feeling how smooth it was, and his heart soared.
Meanwhile, Xu Yixue sneakily pinched Xu Fan on the back, and with a stern look, said, “Humph humph, trying to be clever but ended up with egg on your face.”
“This…
you little minx!”
Xu Fan muttered with annoyance and looked at Xu Yue, shaking his head.
The banana peel was supposed to be in the trash can…
