Chapter 69 Leave the father behind and keep the son? I disagree!

"mom!"

Qiao Yiyang couldn't help but call out to his mother, "What are you doing?"

"You're both at the age where you should be getting married. I think Xixi is exceptionally outstanding, and I hope you can spend more time together. Even if it's a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love, that would be great too!" Mrs. Qiao couldn't hide her smile at the thought of Song Yinxi potentially becoming her daughter-in-law.

How wonderful!

It's wonderful to have such an outstanding daughter-in-law.

"Mom—" Qiao Yiyang quickly shook his head at Song Yinxi, "I really didn't know about this. I swear, I only just found out myself."

Song Yinxi gave him a reassuring look, then turned to Mrs. Qiao: "Thank you for your kindness, but I have no plans to date at the moment."

"Aren't you divorced yet?" Mrs. Qiao said, surprising everyone. "I heard you're already in the cooling-off period for divorce. We're not in a hurry; we can wait in line until you officially complete the formalities."

"Mom~" Qiao Yiyang sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead.

I felt a sudden wave of weakness.

Could it be... that nobody wants him?

Even if no one wants him, Song Yinxi would never be interested in him!

They are just friends.

He didn't want to lose her as a friend at all.

Song Jingfu, who was standing to the side, was stunned: "Is our daughter that popular?"

“Xixi is a good girl, and I like her very much. We will agree to any conditions you are willing to accept.” Mrs. Qiao said earnestly.

"Mom..." Qiao Yiyang could only call out again and again, his tone full of helplessness.

For every sentence Mrs. Qiao spoke, he would weakly call out.

Why didn't you discuss it with him first?

He thought it was just a normal dinner party, but before he could even touch his chopsticks, this happened.

“Mrs. Qiao, there’s no such feeling between Qiao Yiyang and me. If there were, we would have been together long ago without your matchmaking, right?” Song Yinxi raised an eyebrow.

Qiao Yiyang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes!!"

Mrs. Qiao sighed, "Since you all say so, we, as elders, will not force you."

Song Jingfu always respected his daughter's wishes; if she disagreed, the matter naturally couldn't be accomplished.

"Let's not talk about that anymore, let's eat first," Song Jingfu said, trying to smooth things over.

The group finally picked up their chopsticks.

Meanwhile, at the villa next door.

Mrs. Zhuang's gaze fell on Zhuang Weifeng: "This morning I saw Mrs. Qiao carrying large and small bags heading to the Song family. Did she hear that Duan Jinchi and Xixi divorced and is rushing to propose marriage?"

"I don't know," Zhuang Weifeng said calmly.

He hadn't heard Song Yinxi mention it.

"What do you think?" Mrs. Zhuang pressed.

What are you thinking about?

"Don't play dumb. Do you think I can't tell whether you like her or not?" Mrs. Zhuang frowned. "If you like her, I'll go and talk to her for you."

It's unlikely that Zhuang Weifeng will take the initiative on his own.

"Mom, I think Xixi probably doesn't want to be in a relationship right now," Zhuang Weifeng said softly.

"You..."

"Let's go propose marriage first. You two are childhood sweethearts, you have this advantage, if you don't seize it, you won't even be able to be a groomsman when someone else succeeds." The more Zhuang's mother spoke, the angrier she became.

"Xixi is such a good girl, why don't you know how to fight for her?"

"Mom, I think... she doesn't like me." Zhuang Weifeng's tone was bitter.

Zhuang's mother was speechless.

She shook her head helplessly: "Let's eat. Maybe tomorrow we'll hear the news that Song Yinxi is engaged to the Qiao family."

Zhuang Weifeng, however, thought it wouldn't happen.

Given Song Yinxi's personality, she would definitely refuse clearly if she didn't like it.

[Duan Jinchi: ???]

[Duan Jinchi: Qiao Yiyang's mother went to your house to propose marriage?]

[Duan Jinchi: You didn't agree, did you!]

[Duan Jinchi: Answer me! Look into my eyes!]

Song Yinxi checked her phone only after leaving the meeting room.

Duan Jinchi is quite well-informed.

Who told him?

Qiao Yiyang?

She returned to her office, closed the door, and made a phone call.

"Wife—"

"What's going on? Why is someone coming to propose marriage?!"

"Those people have no morals! Stealing other men's wives!"

"This is outrageous!"

Song Yinxi listened quietly, only finding him noisy.

How come I never noticed before that he was such a loudmouth?

She put her phone on the table, letting Duan Jinchi complain for a long time, until he realized and asked, "Are you listening?"

"I'm here."

"Is my identity still secure?" Duan Jinchi asked in a low voice.

"Who are you?" Song Yinxi teased him deliberately.

"Friends with benefits!"

Is he perhaps possessed?

"Just kidding, you actually took it seriously?" Song Yinxi chuckled. "Duan Jinchi, when did you become so worthless?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

"Song Yinxi! I remember everything you said that morning! I've been messaging you every day for the past few days asking if you want to meet up, and you've refused every time! Now you don't even recognize me..." Duan Jinchi was panting with anger, "Are you kidding me!"

Hearing him break down, Song Yinxi's lips unconsciously curled into a smile, and the gloom that had been building up in the conference room vanished.

It's quite fun to argue with your arch-nemesis.

"I'm just playing with you, so what? You're my devoted follower!" Song Yinxi said with a mischievous smile.

"Shall we play tonight?" Duan Jinchi replied instantly.

"Not interested."

"So when are you interested?"

"Wait until my follicular phase."

"..."

Duan Jinchi remained silent.

When was that?

“Baby, I’ve only ever heard of ovulation,” Duan Jinchi said softly. “Do you need me during your ovulation period?”

"What, you want me to get pregnant with your child? Make my dad object, send me abroad, and I'll raise the child alone, running away while pregnant, and then reuniting years later for a heart-wrenching romance? This kind of plot is super exciting, isn't it?" Song Yinxi casually made up a script.

"The first thing you need to do right now is uninstall Yangshizi Novels!"

What about short dramas?

"Uninstall it together—" Duan Jinchi gritted his teeth, "I'm not the kind of person who would let my wife and children leave my side."

"Then should I go to the father's place and leave the son?"

"What!!"

Duan Jinchi instantly bristled.

He's so noisy.

“Remove the father and keep the son.” Song Yinxi repeated.

"I won't allow it! You don't want me, but you want my child? Dream on! I'll send you a pillow via same-city express right now!" Duan Jinchi jumped up and down in anger. "Dream on, dream on!"

"Stop thinking about that, or... or I'll get a tubal ligation—"

Even if you puncture the condom, it won't help!

Song Yinxi couldn't help but chuckle; teasing Duan Jinchi was so much fun.

Today's happiness achieved.

Thank you to him.

"You're accusing me wrongly. When did I ever prick someone?" Song Yinxi suppressed a laugh.

"I was just anticipating your move. I advise you to give up that idea as soon as possible!" Duan Jinchi said angrily.

Song Yinxi said lightly, "That makes sense. Then I'll go find someone else. Zhuang Weifeng is quite handsome and has good grades, but he's a bit dull."

"I disagree!"

"Your cousin would also work. Although he's not very bright, he's handsome and has a good physique."

"I disagree!"

"Qiao Yiyang is gentle and well-behaved; it would be good to raise a good son like him."

I disagree—

Song Yinxi laughed out loud: "My child, when did it become your business to agree or disagree?"
