Chapter 226 She is not my girlfriend
He rubbed the tip of his nose and abruptly changed the subject: "Okay, Mom, I'll take care of my marriage myself. You've been worrying about my marriage for 364 out of 365 days a year. Today is your birthday, so forget about it."
He looked at the time, then pushed Ms. Pei Rao's shoulder and led her to the hall.
It was almost dinner time, and many people gathered in the banquet hall.
"Look, almost everyone has arrived. You can't just leave them waiting. Go greet them first. Then get ready. You, the birthday boy, will be on stage to give a speech soon."
Pei Rao's tangled gaze shifted from Pei Rao to Nangong Yao, and finally he had to compromise: "Okay, then you stay here and take good care of Xiaoyao."
As she spoke, she turned to look at Nangong Wei, smiled gently and said, "Father-in-law, it's not too late now. The banquet is about to start. You should take your seat quickly. I'll be leaving now."
"Mother-in-law, the marriage of these two children..."
Nangong Yao heard the titles between Pei Rao and Nangong Wei and said speechlessly: "Dad, what do you mean by father-in-law and mother-in-law? Don't talk nonsense when there's nothing to say! Besides, I'm still young, why would I get married!"
How could she not know what her old man was thinking?
It's nothing more than marrying her off early so that she can no longer tie her heart to Lu Ting.
Pei Yan also said: "Mom, let's talk about this later."
Putting aside Nangong Yao's tigress-like personality, according to Pei Yan's opinion, although Lu Ting does not admit it, Nangong Yao is most likely Lu Ting's woman, or at least, Nangong Yao likes Lu Ting.
He didn't dare to flirt with Lu Ting's woman.
What's more, love is a matter of mutual consent, and what Pei Yan hates most is forcing others to do something.
Knowing Pei Yan's temper, Ms. Pei Rao winked at Nangong Wei and did not continue to force him:
"Alright, alright, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. If they don't want to, even if we talk our mouths off, it will be useless!"
Nangong Wei coughed, and in a low, hoarse voice, he instructed Nangong Yao, "Get along well with Xiao Pei and don't bully him," then followed Ms. Pei Rao to the hall.
His mother finally passed away, and Pei Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
When he turned his head, he found that Nangong Yao's beautiful eyes were staring at him without blinking, but there was no expression on her pretty face.
Pei Yan raised his eyebrows in a sly manner, and said casually, "What are you looking at? Are you mesmerized by my handsomeness?"
Nangong Yao: “…”
"Have you never looked in the mirror in your life? Or do you have some profound misunderstanding about your appearance?"
Pei Yan found this particularly unpleasant to hear.
Who wouldn't praise his handsome face when seeing it?
Pei Yan patted Xiao Taozhi beside him in dissatisfaction and asked, "Xiao Taozhi, tell this old lady in front of you, is your dad the most handsome guy in the galaxy?"
As if in revenge, Pei Yan emphasized the three words "old aunt".
Little Taozhi tilted her head up, her clear and bright deer eyes meeting Pei Yan's eyes that were longing for affirmation. She scratched her head in some confusion.
Xiao Taozhi felt from the bottom of her heart that although Dad Pei was very handsome, he was not the most handsome man in the galaxy. Brother Ji Sui was the most handsome man!
But if I say that, Pei Baba’s self-esteem will definitely be hurt, and that would be terrible!
The little fellow scratched his black hair with his soft little fingers, then answered irrelevantly: "Daddy, spanking is love, scolding is love, don't take Auntie Yaoyao's words to heart."
Pei Yan's face was full of black question marks.
What's this about beating being love and scolding being affection? Who did Xiao Taozhi learn this nonsense from?!
Nangong Yao raised her rosy lips slightly and sneered, "Did you hear me? I told you not to be so self-indulgent!"
Pei Yan was so angry that he almost laughed.
I don’t know what’s going on. Maybe he and Nangong Yaoqi’s auras are just incompatible, and they would start quarreling after just five sentences.
Looking at the two childish adults who started quarreling again over a disagreement, Xiao Taozhi sighed helplessly.
She twisted her little butt, stretched out her short legs, and climbed up the stairs one by one.
When she finally reached the top.
No knock on the door yet.
The door opened from the inside with a click.
Xiao Yucheng had a serious face and was about to rush out.
When he saw Xiao Taozhi, he stopped in his tracks and his heart, which had been lifted up in the air, suddenly fell to the ground.
His tone changed from anxious to delighted: "Little bean sprout, where have you been?"
Xiao Yucheng squatted down and wanted to hug Xiao Taozhi, but the little guy dodged it with a flash, and Xiao Yucheng's hug was empty.
Xiao Taozhi slipped through the gap between Fu Chuanxing and Xiao Yucheng, walked to Lu Ting's side, grabbed the man's slender fingertips with her small hand, and shook them eagerly:
"Dad Lu, hurry up and go down with Zhizhi! Grandpa Nangong and Grandma Pei want Dad Pei and Aunt Yaoyao to get married!"
Lu Ting's tall body froze instantly.
It took him two seconds to completely digest Xiao Taozhi's words.
Lu Ting's sharp brows twitched slightly: "You mean Nangong Yao and Pei Yan?"
"Yes, yes!"
Little Taozhi stamped her feet, even more anxious than Lu Ting, the person involved. She urged, "Daddy, go quickly! Otherwise, Daddy Pei will take Aunt Yaoyao away!"
Fu Chuanxingrao raised his eyebrows in interest, looking like he was enjoying the show, and jokingly said:
"I didn't expect that person just now was actually Judge Lu's confidante. Since the little bun said so, why is Judge Lu still so calm? Isn't he afraid that his girlfriend will run away with someone else?"
As a bystander, Fu Chuanxing was eager to see Lu Ting and Pei Yan fight over a woman so that he could take advantage of the chaos to kidnap Xiao Taozhi.
Lu Ting pursed his lips and said seriously: "She is not my girlfriend."
Hearing this, Fu Chuanxing said "Oh" with a hint of disappointment.
He originally thought that there would be a good show to watch.
The result, that's it?
Xiao Taozhi stamped her feet in anxiety.
He is such a stupid dad, he just doesn't understand anything!
Never mind, let’s trick Papa Lu away first!
Having made up her mind, Xiao Taozhi pulled Lu Ting's hand and said, "Dad, Grandma Pei's birthday party is about to start. Let's go down quickly."
Lu Ting planned to do this: "We won't go. Dad will take you home directly."
Before Fu Chuanxing and Pei Yan could deny Lu Ting's idea, Xiao Taozhi spoke first:
"No, today is Grandma Pei's tenth birthday. Grandma has taken care of Zhizhi for so long, Zhizhi can't just leave like this!"
