Chapter 221 Ring
"Jiaojiao prepared such a precious gift for her first visit. Luckily, I was prepared, otherwise I wouldn't have a good gift today." Chen Jing had no idea that her husband's suspicious nature had resurfaced. She happily took Ye Jiaojiao's hand and said, "Come, see if you like it."
In the blink of an eye, Chen Jing took out a ring from somewhere like a magician, and before Si Ming and Ye Jiaojiao could react, she put it on Ye Jiaojiao's finger.
"Wow! Mommy, you actually took out this ring?!" Si Ting, who was snuggling next to her mother, was the first to see the ring clearly. She exclaimed in surprise immediately, but after thinking about it, she felt that this was normal.
My eldest brother's wife, my eldest sister-in-law, deserves this ring.
The ring that Chen Jing took out was not particularly gorgeous, and its shape was rather simple. It was not inlaid with the empire's most precious and rare minerals. It only had a green jadeite that was not very valuable nowadays, but it was very watery.
At first glance, it's not surprising.
However, this ring has extraordinary significance for the Si family.
"This ring has been passed down from generation to generation from the ancestors of the Si family. According to the family rules of the Si family, this ring is kept by every mistress of the family. If the head of the family is not around, the one holding this ring can exercise the rights of the head of the family." Looking at Ye Jiaojiao, Chen Jing's face became more serious, as if she was entrusting something to her.
The mistress of the house?
"I" realized the meaning of this ring. Ye Jiaojiao moved her lips, but before she could say anything, Si Ming's big hand suddenly covered her and Shen Jing's overlapping palms: "Take it."
Turning back to look at Si Ming, Ye Jiaojiao drew courage from him and nodded solemnly to Chen Jing: "Thank you, auntie. I'll accept it."
"Why are you still calling me aunt? Did that brat bully you?" Seeing Ye Jiaojiao accept the ring, Shen Jing breathed a sigh of relief and turned back into her easy-going and amiable self. At first glance, she looked like a happy woman who had been immersed in honey all year round.
Chen Jing glared at her cold eldest son unhappily, but the man being glared at didn't react at all and just stared at his little wife. It was obvious that Si Ming was used to his mother's dislike.
As for bullying?
He wanted to bully Jiaojiao, but unfortunately, the timing was not right.
At this moment, Ye Jiaojiao was still a little nervous about meeting an elder for the first time. She didn't realize that Chen Jing was deliberately teasing Si Ming, nor did she realize that Si Ming was thinking about some meaningless garbage. She simply thought that Chen Jing had misunderstood and hurriedly explained: "No, Ah Ming is very good and treats me very well!"
Chen Jing/Si Ting: Is the eldest son/eldest brother doing well?
How come they didn’t feel anything at all in all these years?
"Pfft!" Chen Jing was touched by Ye Jiaojiao's cuteness and couldn't help laughing. Si Ting sighed in a rhythmic way, and it was unclear what she was lamenting: "Sister-in-law, do you know? You are the first imperial woman to praise Big Brother."
Ye Jiaojiao: “???”
-
From being reserved at the beginning to gradually relaxing, Ye Jiaojiao became much more relaxed.
After Si Ming stayed with him for an hour, Ye Jiaojiao and Shen Jing teamed up to drive him away.
In the study.
The Si family father and son sat opposite each other.
Si Yufeng, who was also driven away by the lady, spoke first.
Si Yufeng: "I heard about the base from Edwin."
Si Ming: “Yeah.”
Si Yufeng: "What's going on with Jiaojiao?"
The more Si Yufeng thought about it, the more he felt that the information he had found out did not match the Ye Jiaojiao he had just met, so he simply asked Si Ming directly.
"The food made by Jiaojiao has a healing effect. It can cure genetic collapse syndrome. Now it seems that it can also be used to assist in the growth of mental strength." Too many things have happened recently, and Si Ming felt that he really should have a good talk with his father. Since he was asked, he told him everything.
Si Ming said it lightly, his face calm, but Si Yufeng's expressionless face gradually cracked: "When did you know all this?"
When did you know?
Si Ming was stunned by the question. Seeing his father's ugly face, with a hint of anger, he thought about it and figured out the key point. He knew his father had misunderstood: "You misunderstood. I love my wife deeply."
He and Ye Jiaojiao registered their marriage without any interest or other considerations.
Just because I like you, because I love you deeply.
He would be proud of his little wife, but would not think too much about it.
What he has to do and should do is to protect his wife.
That's all.
Si Ming's behavior was genuine. As a father, Si Yufeng believed he knew his eldest son very well. After completely letting go of his worries, he returned to his normal attitude: "Who else knows about Jiaojiao's specialness and these things?"
Si Ming started from the beginning and told the story of how Ye Jiaojiao used natural food to cure Cyril and then refined the marrow cleansing pill to cure Norton.
Except for the fact that Ye Jiaojiao and Yun Che are from the Cultivation Continent.
Even though he was his father, he was not ready to explain for the moment.
At least, not yet.
Si Yufeng is a 3S+ strong man who leads the empire's most powerful Fifth Army. Any one of his experiences over the years would confuse people.
After learning about Ye Jiaojiao's special situation, even Si Yufeng was not immune to the silence for a while. When he spoke again, his tone was full of solemnity: "Jiaojiao's situation is too special. I'm afraid it will take the full strength of the Si family to protect her."
"I will protect her." Si Ming glanced at his father indifferently, obviously not satisfied with his words.
He will protect his wife.
Si Yufeng didn't get angry after being glared at. With the same expressionless face, he replied to Si Ming bluntly: "Wait until you climb to my position."
Si Ming: "Then when do you plan to retire? Jiaojiao accepted her mother's ring, and I can support the Si family."
Si Yufeng: "You get out."
The conversation between father and son ended very happily.
When he returned to the living room, Si Ming did not see his little wife, but only saw Si Yuan sitting on the sofa with a conflicted look on his face.
"Where is your sister-in-law?" Si Ming sat down next to Si Yuan.
"In the kitchen." Si Yuan pursed his lips and pointed in the direction of the kitchen without raising his head. After he finished speaking, he saw that Si Ming did not leave, so he suddenly raised his head and looked at Si Ming: "Brother, did you choose the gift that my sister-in-law prepared?"
"What's wrong?" After hearing Si Yuan say this, Si Ming realized that he was holding a box in his hand. The box looked somewhat familiar. It did look a bit like something he had personally prepared for his little wife at the gift shop.
Seeing that Si Ming didn't deny it, Si Yuan immediately showed an expression of "as expected". He raised the gift box in his hand and revealed the contents: "Only a big brother would choose a mecha model like this for children to play with."
"Si Yuan, have you forgotten?" Si Ming's mouth twitched, and his expression suddenly became a little strange: "You are just a child."
Si Yuan: “.”
-
After having lunch and dinner at Si's house, they went back until it was dark. If they didn't hurry back, the waterway would be closed. Only then did Si Ming carry Ye Jiaojiao onto the hovercraft under the reluctant gazes of Shen Jing and Si Ting.
When Ye Jiaojiao returned to the Fifth Army’s base, it was already nine o’clock when she finished washing up and lay down on the bed.
Si Ming had been away for the entire day as he needed to deal with a pile of official business. Ye Jiaojiao tossed and turned in bed for a long time. Perhaps it was because she had met his parents today and received the ring of extraordinary significance, so she seemed to have insomnia.
