"My aunt is pretty too."
Wen Xingyue gazed at Fang Yihan, who had a bright and elegant appearance, her eyes sparkling.
[Aunt Huo Tingxiao is so pretty, and her voice is so sweet. I want to snuggle up to this beautiful lady!]
Hearing that long string of sounds again, the Fang family was puzzled and amused, but not as surprised as before. After several times, they had gotten used to it.
This young girl doesn't talk much, but she has a lot on her mind.
Fang Yihan felt incredibly sweet inside. She was already in her early thirties, and she never expected to be praised for her beauty by her niece-in-law.
Surrounded by her family as she entered the living room, Wen Xingyue had barely sat down when the coffee table in front of her was piled high with food—snacks, dried fruit, melon seeds, candy, and the like.
"Yueyue, you and Xiaojun eat first. Mom, Dad, and I will go into the kitchen to help Grandpa and Grandma prepare lunch." Huo Tingxiao gently stroked the little girl's hair.
"Okay, feel free to ask me for help if you need anything."
Suddenly presented with a huge pile of snacks, Wen Xingyue felt incredibly happy and nodded vigorously in response.
"No need, you and Xiaojun can play outside. There are fans if it gets hot, just ask Xiaojun to turn them on for you. If you get bored, Xiaojun can take you around. Xiaojun comes here often and knows this place well. Don't eat too many snacks. There are lots of delicious food for lunch. If you eat too much, you won't be able to eat much more."
Huo Tingxiao's usually cold and stern face was now filled with a gentle smile.
"Okay." Wen Xingyue, who had originally planned to have a big feast, immediately gave up that idea.
The food was really good. I'll eat snacks after I finish eating.
Huo Tingxiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows; the little peach blossom spirit was quite clever.
Huo Tingxiao did not restrict Wen Xingyue from eating snacks. As long as she ate her meals properly, she could eat whatever she wanted. In any case, his family could afford to support her. Life is only a few decades long, and if you can't even eat what you want, how boring would life be?
If you interfere too much, and the little peach blossom spirit gets annoyed with you and eventually stops liking you, then you'll be shooting yourself in the foot.
Between two equally harmful options, choose the lesser one.
The Fang family members standing nearby were quite surprised to see their eldest grandson so gentle and considerate for the first time.
The two elderly people were relieved.
Although the two children's marriages were not smooth, it's good that they were able to get married.
As elders, they always hope that their children will have a good life, and they are generally unwilling to see their children go their separate ways unless absolutely necessary.
Standing next to Huo's mother, Fang Yihan nudged her older sister's arm with a smile, her eyes teasing, "Is Tingxiao now in love with Shang Xingyue?"
"The stars and moon are so beautiful, it's only a matter of time before Tingxiao arrives," Huo's mother said helplessly.
"Let's go."
Huo Tingxiao quickly pushed the wheelchair over, and the group went into the kitchen together. The kitchen was spacious and bright, and even several people could stand there without feeling crowded. Once the kitchen door was closed, it blocked outside prying eyes.
"Big sister, Tingxiao, what's going on? We didn't see Xingyue's mouth move, so how can we hear her voice?"
As soon as she entered, Fang Yihan couldn't contain her curiosity.
She had been curious for a long time. Although Xingyue praised her, she was still nervous when she suddenly heard strange noises.
"What we heard was Yueyue's xx? xx?"
Grandpa Fang's expression was the most stable among the three. He could only think of two words in his heart, but he couldn't say them out loud. His face also showed a rare look of shock.
"Dad, you also want to say xx?xx????!!! Why can't I say that word?"
Fang Yihan was a little worried when she saw her father suddenly fall silent after he had been speaking. He had clearly opened his mouth, but they couldn't hear him say anything.
As a result, she found that she couldn't say the last two words no matter what she did, and she looked at her sister's family with a look of surprise and doubt.
“Dad, Yihan, we know what you want to say. Just like you guessed, there’s a word you can’t say. Not only can you not say it, but we can’t say it either. It’s about protecting Xingyue.”
Mr. Huo quickly reached out and patted Mr. Fang's back.
"Wow, that's amazing! Tsk tsk tsk, you really do hear and encounter all sorts of things when you live long enough."
After her initial surprise, Fang Yihan couldn't help but laugh; her bright and elegant face was truly remarkable.
I never expected to encounter such a strange thing after living for over thirty years.
Fang Yihan's interruption dispelled the tension in the hearts of the Fang family elders who had been filled with surprise and doubt.
"How old are you? Why are you still so easily startled?"
Grandma Fang patted her boisterous daughter with a hint of annoyance.
"Oh dear, this isn't the first time I've heard of it, so I'm just curious and that's why I got a little emotional. Mom, you're not being very virtuous."
Fang Yihan hopped behind her older sister to hide, complaining about her mother.
"Hmph, I'm your mother, why should I talk about martial ethics?"
Grandma Fang glared at her daughter.
But it must be said that the tense and worried look on his face has relaxed.
Those who had been worried that the two elderly people wouldn't be able to accept it breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing their condition.
Fang Yihan raised an eyebrow at her sister and nephew, humph, they still have to rely on her.
Mrs. Huo nodded at her smug younger sister.
My younger sister may seem carefree, but she is actually very meticulous and always pays attention to her parents' emotions.
"Alright, no interruptions, let Tingxiao speak."
After they finished interacting, Fang Waigong looked at Huo Tingxiao.
"Grandpa, please sit down with Grandma, we'll talk slowly."
Huo Tingxiao handed Fang's grandfather and the others a stool in the kitchen that was convenient for them to sit on while picking vegetables.
"Hmm." Grandpa Fang understood his grandson's heartache. His gentle and kind face lit up with a smile as he reached out to take the gift and pulled his wife down to sit with him.
“Let’s sit too, sis, standing is tiring.”
Fang Yihan moved another stool from some corner and placed it behind the two sisters. She pulled her older sister to sit down and, feeling lazy, leaned against her sister like a lazy bum.
As for Mr. Huo, seeing that everyone was seated, he pulled out a small stool the size of a palm from somewhere and sat down next to his wife with his legs bent.
——
"You didn't tell us about all the things that happened before! If something really happened to Tingxiao and Xiaojun, would you wait until we, the elderly, had to bury our children before you would let us know?"
Grandma Fang's gentle eyes reddened slightly as she reached out and patted her eldest daughter.
After listening to Huo Tingxiao recount a series of dangerous events that had happened to them, the Fang family was terrified. Tingxiao almost never recovered, Xiaojun was going to die before reaching adulthood, and their daughter and son-in-law would also die soon after.
The elderly couple from the Fang family felt their hearts pounding, their nerves stretched taut. They breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that the danger had passed, but then their hearts jumped again when they heard that Xiao Jun had almost gotten into trouble.
My mood fluctuated wildly.
