It was lunchtime at the Jia Mansion, and men and women were supposed to eat at separate tables. However, the Jia Mansion was in a special situation, and this rule was not followed.
Sitting at the main table were Jia Yuanwai, Jia Mianmian, Xiao Changhen, and Jia Zhengfeng, the eldest of Jia Yuanwai's concubines. The rest of the concubines and concubines ate at another table, separated by a screen.
There is no rule of "no talking while eating" in the Jia family, because only when eating can Mr. Jia find an opportunity to have a good talk with his daughter.
"Mianmian, is your husband good to you?" Jia Yuanwai picked up the public chopsticks and picked up Jia Mianmian's favorite dish. Seeing that Jia Mianmian did not refuse, he dared to ask softly.
"Well, my husband is very good to me." Jia Mianmian was in a good mood today, and she was happy to answer questions about Xiao Changhen.
Jia Mianmian picked up a chicken leg and gave it to Xiao Changhen, saying, "Husband, eating chicken legs will give you the strength to fight the bad guys."
"Bad guys? Sister, did you meet a bad guy?" Jia Zhengfeng looked at Jia Mianmian anxiously and asked, "Are you hurt?"
"No, my husband beat them all away." Jia Mianmian's face was full of pride: "Brother, you must also learn martial arts as powerful as my husband, so that you can protect your wife in the future."
"Okay, I understand, sister. I also want to protect you." Jia Zhengfeng's face was serious.
"I have my husband to protect me." Jia Mianmian declined directly.
Xiao Changhen could see the genuine concern in Jia Zhengfeng's eyes, and he could also see that Jia Mianmian did not dislike her half-brother Jia Zhengfeng, and was even more patient with him than with his biological father. Now, he understood why Mr. Jia allowed Jia Zhengfeng to sit at the main table.
Mr. Jia did not interrupt. He frowned and looked at Xiao Changhen. Both of them tacitly agreed not to say anything more at this moment.
"Sister, is my brother-in-law really that powerful?" Jia Zhengfeng looked at Xiao Changhen and asked curiously, "How powerful is he?"
"Well... one can beat ten." Jia Mianmian thought about it seriously and answered.
Then, Xiao Changhen received admiration from everyone except Jia Mianmian.
Xiao Changhen: ...
How could the shrewd Mr. Jia raise two such... "pure" children?
Lunch time passed quickly. After Jia Mianmian took a nap, Xiao Changhen was called into the study by Jia Yuanwai. The two chatted for a long time. When Xiao Changhen came out of the study, it was already dinner time.
No one knew what they talked about except the two of them. Mr. Jia drank a lot of wine that day. When Jia Mianmian and Xiao Changhen were about to leave the Jia Mansion, Mr. Jia suddenly went crazy while drunk. He held Jia Mianmian's hand and cried and laughed. In the end, he even sat on the ground like a child, holding Jia Mianmian's hand, refusing her to leave.
Jia Mianmian looked at him like this for a long time, and her originally expressionless face showed some movement. Finally, under the pleading gazes of the whole mansion, Jia Mianmian seemed to have finally let go of the knot in her heart. She coaxed Jia Yuanwai with a few words, and he obediently went back to his room to sleep with the help of the servants.
"Brother, take good care of the family." Jia Mianmian touched Jia Zhengfeng's head and said softly.
Jia Zhengfeng nodded and watched Jia Mianmian's carriage disappear at the intersection. Tears flowed uncontrollably. He had a bad feeling, as if he would never see his sister again.
Since Xiao Changhen and Jia Yuanwai had been drinking a lot, he didn't sit outside the carriage to drive. Inside the carriage, Xiao Changhen lay on Yan Baibai's legs, his face flushed. His face was slightly red from drinking, and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was very uncomfortable.
Jia Mianmian smiled, reached out to touch Xiao Changhen's temple and gently massaged it. Xiao Changhen's frown soon relaxed and his breathing became even.
When the system saw this scene, it did not expect that its host had such a good wife and mother side. Just as it was about to save this part, something unexpected happened.
"System, tell me what's going on now!" Yan Baibai's slightly cold voice suddenly sounded in the quiet space of the system.
It was quiet for too long. The system looked at Jia Mianmian, who was gently massaging the male protagonist of the task. It suspected that the sound just now was an illusion.
"This is a rubbish system. It's me. Stop wasting time and tell me the current situation quickly!" Yan Baibai's tone was cold and a little irritable.
"Host, the person lying on your lap is Xiao Changhen, the male protagonist of the fourth mission, and you are currently borrowing the identity of a woman named Jia Mianmian. You are already married, and your husband is now accompanying you on your way home after the mission."
As the system explained, Yan Baibai slowly accepted everything that happened after she came to Jia Mianmian's body. Her face became darker and darker. After knowing that Xiao Changhen did not consummate their marriage, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"System, Xiao Changhen is definitely not as righteous, kind, and loyal as he appears to be. If I weren't truly a fool, he would never allow me to get close to him. Do you have any way to solve this problem?"
Never treat others as fools. This is the lesson Yan Baibai has learned from his two lifetimes.
And Xiao Changhen is definitely not a fool. No matter how superb her acting skills are, and no matter how well she plays a "fool", without the "fool's" thinking, she will definitely do things differently.
If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. Moreover, Yan Baibai had no confidence that she could hide it from someone as meticulous as Xiao Changhen.
The most important point is that she cannot entrust her life and death to Xiao Changhen without reservation like "Jia Mianmian". After living in the world of immortal cultivation for so many years, she has no way to rely on Xiao Changhen like "Jia Mianmian".
