"No," Xiao Yanzhen put down his coffee and reasoned seriously, "How did you break free from feudal superstition? On the contrary, you discovered that the older generation's traditional thinking was serious. Then you used the fact that Zhou Xia and you have a conflicting five elements to put an end to their idea of pairing you two up."
"Oh, I really can't hide anything from you," Xiao Xingyu smiled and picked up a poached egg for the confused Zhang Moyan. Then he put down his chopsticks and looked at Xiao Yanzhen and Dai Xuan with his fingertips against his eyebrows. "So, why did our elders finally agree to you two being together?"
In stark contrast to Xiao Xingyu's relaxed posture, Dai Xuan suddenly stopped eating when she heard this, and waited for Xiao Yanzhen to speak with her big black eyes wide open.
Xiao Yanzhen glanced at Xiao Xingyu with a protective look, "They were moved by the solidarity and mutual support among us young people."
"Oh," Xiao Xingyu said as if he suddenly understood something, "I see."
Dai Xuan's shoulders drooped invisibly and he let out a sigh.
Xiao Yanzhen was speechless: "Xingyu, don't pretend to be confused when you know the truth. I know exactly what you want to say. You are not young anymore. It is a good thing for you to consider starting a family. We will repay your kindness."
"That's so polite," Xiao Xingyu said calmly, "I'm just giving you a reminder. I don't mean anything else."
Xiao Yanzhen shook his head, not knowing whether to feel helpless or amused. "Then I have to remind you, although both you and I have violated taboos, our violations are not of the same magnitude. Given the estrangement between the Xiao and Chen families, the deaths of Miss Zhang's mother and Guoxi are inextricably linked. Your biggest obstacles are probably Wei Jiang and Xiao Huai."
Xiao Xingyu remained calm. "You won't watch me die, right? You are the oldest in the family. If necessary, I suggest you two elders act like the head of the family."
He pulled out two boxes from under the table like a magic trick and handed them to Xiao Yanzhen and Dai Xuan with both hands respectfully and politely: "Please don't despise this small gift."
Xiao Yanzhen and Dai Xuan swallowed their saliva simultaneously when they saw the letters RICHARD MILLE on the packaging, and Zhang Moyan couldn't help but stop and look at the two gift boxes.
She had only read about this emerging watch brand's price tag of over 5 million and its limited global production on the Internet as a curiosity, and this was her first time seeing the real thing.
So, was it true that Xiao Xingyu, who was so generous, was dragged all the way to the ward by her in public at the auction because he was reluctant to cut a belt?
"Miss Zhang, it seems Xingyu really likes you. He has decided on you," Xiao Yanzhen's face was full of expression: It's not that I have no bottom line, it's just that he has given too much. "Don't worry, we..."
He was about to promise something when Dai Xuan pulled him slightly under the table.
"Grandma?" Xiao Xingyu looked at Dai Xuan with scrutiny.
Dai Xuan cleared her throat twice, and under the three people's puzzled eyes, she said delicately without fear, "Why are you in such a hurry? I have another question for Mo Yan."
"?" Zhang Moyan couldn't help but move nervously and sat up straight. "Grandma, what do you want to ask?"
Dai Xuan wiped her mouth with a tissue, then crossed her arms on the table, looking like a serious parent. "Our Man'er thinks very highly of you. I also know that you've helped her out a few times when she got into trouble. It was thanks to you that she ran off to the back mountain that time that she was found. So I have a very good impression of you."
"However," Dai Xuan paused, "So far, we've only seen that Xing Yu likes you so much that he's determined to marry you, but we haven't seen you share the same attitude towards him. So I want to ask, do you like him as much as Xing Yu likes you? How did you feel when you saw him with another girl yesterday? I hope you can tell me the truth. At least, it didn't seem like you were angry at all."
Dai Xuan explained her motives clearly. She didn't know Zhang Moyan had attempted suicide yesterday, nor did she know why Zhang Moyan was alive today. She asked this question now, as an elder, to prevent her young man from getting too excited and self-indulgent and getting himself involved. She wanted to keep an eye on the younger generation.
This kind of spirit and energy makes people know who the little aunt looks like.
After understanding Dai Xuan's motive, it was very easy for her to get full marks on this question. Zhang Moyan only had to answer that she was actually very angry, sad, and jealous, and finally express her determination to obey her husband until death.
However, Zhang Moyan said: "I was not angry at all. On the contrary, I felt much more relaxed at that time."
Xiao Xingyu: “Ah?”
Zhang Moyan turned her head and looked into his eyes tenderly: "You are the only thing I feel guilty about and concerned about in this world. Seeing that you have let it go and can still make me angry, I feel relieved."
"Which eye of yours saw me relieved?"
Xiao Xingyu's cheeks puffed out, sounding both sweet and angry.
The sweet thing is that Zhang Moyan said that she was the only one he cared about in this world, but the infuriating thing was that when she saw him with another woman, her first reaction was actually to feel at ease.
However, Xiao Xingyu's opinion is not the most important thing now. The most important thing now is what Dai Xuan thinks of this answer. Zhang Moyan's two sentences are really not an affectionate statement worthy of people's support.
The table was silent for a moment. Dai Xuan opened the gift box, raised her snow-white arm, placed a women's watch on it and tried it on. "So you don't like walking in the rain at all?"
Zhang Moyan: "I..."
Xiao Xingyu showed a hint of displeasure: "Hey, it's so early in the morning, can we not talk about such meaningless topics?"
Dai Xuan smiled calmly at Zhang Moyan, her bright eyes curved. "Women understand women best. Is it possible that your feelings for him have already risen to love?"
