"Brother Shen Zhou and Brother Zifeng are both single. There's no problem with them liking Lu Wantang or being liked by them, right? Feelings are their own business, and they don't interfere with others. What's wrong with that?" Luo Xingming was the first to speak. He might have thought of his own boyfriend who had a girlfriend and was caught in the act of climbing into bed with his girlfriend some time ago. He lowered his head while speaking, and his eyes were a little dim.
"Yeah, it's better than falling in love with someone who's already in a relationship and not wanting to give up. No matter what their partner thinks, you just desperately chase after them, even wanting to get them to your partner."
Li Xi spoke nonchalantly, but Luo Xingming, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, suddenly looked up at her, his eyes sharp and murderous. Li Xi was oblivious, or perhaps unconcerned, as she continued to expound on her point, "They're just one-on-many, a bunch of single-minded pursuits. Lu Wantang hasn't announced she's in a relationship, so she's single. Even if there are multiple suitors pointing at her, it doesn't count as ruining relationships, and it's probably not against morality, so there's nothing wrong with it."
Luo Xingming wanted to say something, but before he could utter a word, Luo Jingting spoke first, "It takes a lot of courage to fall in love with someone who cannot be understood by the world, and it takes even greater courage to let everyone around you know your feelings. Lu Zifeng is still a man." Thinking of his annoying object, Luo Jingting rubbed his brows with a headache.
Li Xi didn't keep a sweet smile on her face this time. Instead, she glanced at Luo Jingting with disdain. "Brother, why do you sound so emotional? Could it be that your feelings are also unacceptable to the world? However, the situation of that bastard Lu Zifeng should be different from that of your brother. Not only is it incest, but it may also be deception and coercion. It falls under the rule of law!"
"What is a legal person?" Li Xi said, expecting Luo Jingting or other peers to criticize her. Unexpectedly, before the younger generation could speak, Grandpa Luo asked a soul-searching question first.
"Uh~" Li Xi was stunned for a moment, then quickly recovered. "The term 'Legalist' originated in the entertainment industry. It refers to public figures who commit crimes and have a negative impact on the public. Lu Zifeng is the Lu family's crown prince, so he's also a public figure. I call him 'Legalist' just a nickname."
"That's it. Grandpa is still old and can't keep up with the trends of you young people. I can always hear new words from you. It's interesting. Hahahaha"
Hearing Grandpa Luo's laughter, the others had to laugh along even if they disagreed or were unwilling to do so. Li Xi, on the other hand, laughed sincerely and even flattered him, "No, no, Grandpa is not old. He just doesn't like to pay attention to things online. He's not familiar with them. If Grandpa wanted to understand, he could control the situation in minutes."
"Hahaha..." Mr. Luo's smile widened. "You are such a talker, kid. Come on, the dishes are all here. If you don't eat now, they will get cold soon."
Old Master Luo was so angry that no one would refute him. He really didn't want to argue with Li Xi anymore. He couldn't argue with her, and he couldn't use his status as an elder to pressure her, and he couldn't just turn his face away. If he wasn't careful, he would get hit in the sore spot by her. It was so frustrating.
After they started eating, no one wanted to speak, and they just picked up their chopsticks in silence. Only Mr. Luo and Li Xi would occasionally chat, and Li Xi would occasionally whisper to Luo Jingxuan. It was surprisingly harmonious.
Because of everyone's silence, this New Year's Eve dinner went by incredibly quickly, at least twice as fast as Li Xi and her family's reunion dinner at noon. Li Xi didn't know what the others were feeling, but she was quite happy eating anyway. The chef at the Luo family mansion was a chef that Mr. Luo had hired away from a five-star hotel years ago at a high price. The dishes he prepared were incredibly delicious and beautiful.
Li Xi, who had originally planned to eat a poor meal, unexpectedly ate quite a lot. After finishing the meal, she collapsed in her chair, not wanting to move at all. She was so full.
As a "good husband" who had lived with Li Xi for more than half a year and had eaten with her many times, Luo Jingxuan saw Li Xi's embarrassment at a glance. He silently took out his mobile phone and sent a message to his assistant asking him to prepare some digestive tablets, and then whispered to Li Xi if she wanted to go out for a walk.
"Want to go for a walk in the yard? Help digest your food." Seeing Li Xi's suspicious look, Luo Jingxuan lied calmly, "I'm too full."
"Oh, okay, okay." Li Xi first glanced at Luo Jingxuan teasingly, then nodded at him as if understanding, and turned to find Grandpa Luo, "Grandpa, I ate too much and felt bloated. Jingxuan and I are going to the yard outside to digest the food. I'll come in later to keep you company!"
After getting Mr. Luo's approval, Li Xi smiled proudly at Luo Jingxuan, and her little expression seemed to say, I covered it up for you, now no one knows you ate too much, come and praise me!
Luo Jingxuan suddenly felt amused. His eyes, which had been gloomy since he entered the Luo family's old house, finally softened. He whispered to Li Xi, "Thank you."
"There's no need to say thank you to each other. It's only natural." As Li Xi said this, she wanted to pat Luo Jingxuan's shoulder like a good brother. When her hand was halfway raised, she remembered that Luo Jingxuan was taller than her. It felt weird for a short person to pat a tall person's shoulder. It didn't feel like brothers at all.
Luo Jingxuan saw Li Xi's intention, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He leaned slightly towards Li Xi, matching the height of Li Xi's hand.
Li Xi smiled awkwardly, and her hand, which had been suspended in mid-air, finally patted Luo Jingxuan's shoulder. She patted him several times, saying as she patted him, "Sister, no, your wife will protect you!"
It feels good to say it, but the embarrassment at the end always lingers in your heart.
Help! I actually called myself Luo Jingxuan’s wife!
