Xu Xining adores this new life, free from the heavy burdens of her previous identity and suffocating responsibilities.
What she feels most is the love from her family and the freedom of livin...
Yang Hui was really frightened. The little girl stared wide-eyed, mouth agape, unable to say a word.
Lu Chunping was amused by her and wondered if this person would have nightmares at night.
But Lu Chunping just loves playing pranks. Ignoring Yang Hui's fear, she continued, "Before this happened, I heard that Xu Daya and Liu Peng had established a relationship and were planning to date. But I don't know if her father found out about her misdeeds, but as soon as the landslide was over, he found her a husband. Xu Daya was married off without a trace. This guy was inexplicably treated as someone's girlfriend and then inexplicably dumped. How heartless can he be? He was played like this, and now he's running off to give gifts. I'm very curious if Xu Daya wants to see him."
The fact that Xu Daya had become mentally unstable has not been spread outside the Xu family, so Lu Chunping has no idea that the current Xu Daya is no longer the Xu Daya she knows.
After arriving at the Xu family's house, Liu Peng lingered at the door for a while, glancing inside every now and then, which was spotted by Old Mrs. Chen, who had climbed up the wall.
Grandma Chen: "Oh! Isn't this Little Liu, the educated youth from the educated youth settlement? Are you here to see Xiao Heng?"
Liu Peng smiled shyly at Old Mrs. Chen.
Grandma Chen thought she had guessed right, so she called out loudly, "Xiao Heng, Xiao Heng, Liu Zhiqing is looking for you."
Mu Jingheng came out after hearing this.
Xu Daya also heard it. There was only one educated youth with the surname Liu in this educated youth settlement, Liu Peng. She was very excited. She felt that Liu Peng was looking for her, not Mu Jingheng.
But no matter how excited Xu Daya was inside, her body simply wouldn't listen to her soul.
Xu Daya cried anxiously, but on the surface she smiled foolishly.
Cao Anian looked after Xu Daya like a child, afraid that she might accidentally fall.
Cao Anian also found it strange that Xu Daya was always very quiet at home, but became lively after returning to her parents' home.
In Cao Anian's view, this was a sign that Xu Daya liked her parents' home, and it seemed that he would have to bring her back more often in the future.
Xu Daya's soul cried miserably, wanting to apologize to Xu Xinning and beg her to forgive her.
Those who haven't experienced it will never know how painful and terrifying it is when your body is out of control of your soul. Xu Daya was on the verge of going insane.
Seeing Mu Jingheng come out, Liu Peng went up to her: "Mu, I heard Xu Daya is back?"
Mu Jingheng frowned. He didn't know what Liu Peng was up to, but he still replied, "Yes! She's pregnant. Her husband brought her back to inform the family."
Liu Peng grinned: "Really? Congratulations! I used to be on good terms with her, and I came to see her when I found out she was back."
Mu Jingheng was completely baffled. He knew about Liu Peng and Xu Daya's affair, and according to normal logic, shouldn't he be angry? But no matter how he looked at it, there was no sign of anger. If he didn't know Mu Jingheng fairly well, he would have thought that this man was good at hiding things.
Seeing that Mu Jingheng was silent, Liu Peng quickly said, "Look, this is some malted milk powder I just bought not long ago. Xu Daya is pregnant, so it's good to give her some."
Xu Xinning came out and saw this scene, and she was stunned.
Are there really men in this world who are this generous?
Grandma Xu, who had followed Xu Xinning out, naturally heard Liu Peng's words and said with a smile, "Thank you for your trouble, Educated Youth Liu. Please come in and sit down!"
Old Mrs. Chen was unaware that Wang Ying's disappearance was related to Xu Daya. Upon hearing that Xu Daya was pregnant, she exclaimed in a loud voice, "Oh! This girl is quite something, getting pregnant so quickly. Congratulations on becoming a wife, sister-in-law!"
Grandma Xu felt guilty towards the Chen family and nodded awkwardly.
Grandma Chen laughed: "Sister-in-law, are you so happy you've fainted? I'll give this girl a few feet of fine cotton cloth later, so she can make a little jacket to wear next to her body."
Grandma Xu felt even more guilty and said, "Don't spend any more money. Guoqing is all grown up now. Who knows, he might bring your granddaughter-in-law back someday."
Grandma Chen: "Hey, sister-in-law, why are you being so polite with me? You know how capable my Ah Ping is. This little bit of fine cotton cloth is no problem for him."
Grandma Xu couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to agree.
Liu Peng walked into the main room and saw Xu Daya and Cao Anian sitting together. He was stunned for a moment, never expecting that Xu Daya would eventually marry such a man.
Liu Peng knew how high Xu Daya's standards were. She had her eye on Mu Jingheng and Jiang Juecheng before, but in the end, she chose him.
Liu Peng knew that Xu Daya chose him because Mu Jingheng and Jiang Juecheng didn't like her, but he didn't mind. The fact that she chose him meant that he was just as outstanding as Mu Jingheng and Jiang Juecheng, so she didn't have to persuade him much before agreeing to date her.
He has never been so affirmed in his twenty-odd years.
But this man...
Liu Peng felt a mix of emotions. This person didn't seem to be one of them at all.
To be honest, Liu Peng was a little disappointed.
However, he was a man of the world, and he quickly regained his composure, extending his hand generously to Cao Anian, "Hello! You must be Xu Daya's husband? I'm Xu Daya's friend, nice to meet you!"
Cao Anian was a little flustered, his smile awkward, and he asked softly, "Are you also an educated youth?"
Cao Anian thought to himself, if Xu Daya weren't so stupid, she would probably marry a young man like this, right?
Cao Anian wasn't stupid. After a little thought, he realized that maybe this educated youth had something going on with Xu Daya before. Otherwise, out of so many educated youths, why was he the only one who came here?
Liu Peng nodded and said with a smile, "Yes! I'm an educated youth, just like Mu. Xu Daya used to get along well with us educated youth. We received a lot of help from her when we first arrived. I heard she's pregnant. This is some malted milk powder I bought recently, just in time to nourish Xu Daya."
Cao Anian politely declined, saying, "No need, no need. We have plenty of malted milk powder at home. Da Ya has never lacked it since she married into the family."
Cao Anian also had a man's dignity; he didn't want his woman to eat food given by another man.
Liu Peng: "I can tell you've taken good care of her; she's gained quite a bit of weight."
Liu Peng then turned to Xu Daya, laughing heartily, and waved to her, saying, "Xu Daya, do you still recognize me? I'm your best friend, Liu Peng."
Xu Daya was going crazy inside. She really wanted to throw her head back and scream, silently praying, "Let lightning strike me to wake me up!"
But on the surface, Xu Daya looked at Liu Peng and smiled happily.
Why is that smile so healing?
Liu Peng was momentarily stunned. Why did he feel that Xu Daya from before didn't look as cute as she does now?
Seeing the fleeting change in Liu Peng's expression, Xu Daya was certain that Liu Peng liked her.
Xu Daya tried her best to catch Liu Peng, but unfortunately, it was all in vain.
Liu Peng looked at Cao Anian and said, "You've raised Xu Daya so well, she's always smiling now. I believe you'll be a good father in the future."
Cao Anian: "Thank you!"
Liu Peng put down his things and left, but his mood was different when he left than when he came. He didn't know why he liked Xu Daya's smile now. It was a feeling that made his heart beat faster, something he had never experienced before when facing Xu Daya.
