Dai Xingyun had already walked towards the sales clerk in the home appliance section. Twenty minutes later, they not only bought a radio, but also pre-ordered a Snowflake brand electric fan that would arrive in a week, as well as the color television. Chen Xiaoxiao touched the gold-stamped seal on the delivery slip.
"It's too expensive, should we cancel it?" Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the receipt in her hand.
Seeing this, Dai Xingyun quickly comforted him, "I see you like them quite a bit, and these aren't consumables, you can keep them for a long time." His voice was gentle yet firm.
After listening to Dai Xingyun's words, Shen Xiaoxiao thought about it for a moment and decided that since it was a rare opportunity, she shouldn't be stingy.
When I thought about my savings, I realized that buying these items wouldn't be difficult.
Moreover, her space already contains many precious items such as gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, and jade, so buying these appliances is just a drop in the ocean.
Shen Xiaoxiao stopped refusing and decided to buy these items.
Just as they were picking out candy from the counter, they suddenly heard a woman's voice: "Brother Xingyun?"
Shen Xiaoxiao and Dai Xingyun turned their heads at the same time and saw a woman in a fashionable red dress walking towards them arm in arm with a middle-aged man in a suit.
The woman's name was Yan Qing. Her gaze shifted between Dai Xingyun and Shen Xiaoxiao, and her smile seemed somewhat forced. "Brother Xingyun, who are they?"
Dai Xingyun looked at her expressionlessly, his eyes cold and distant.
Out of politeness, he greeted the man next to Yan Qing: "Uncle Yan!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Daquan turned around and looked at Dai Xingyun, a hint of doubt on his face: "Xingyun! Who are these two?"
Dai Xingyun introduced them unhurriedly: "This is my girlfriend, Shen Xiaoxiao, and this is her brother, Shen Xiaochuan."
Because he was on vacation, Shen Xiaochuan rarely wore his military uniform on weekdays; when he went out, he would choose to wear civilian clothes.
Yan Daquan glanced at Shen Xiaochuan and his sister, a hint of disdain even showing on his face.
"Xingyun, I'm not trying to be mean, but there are so many daughters from prestigious families in the capital who are eagerly hoping to marry you!"
"Why did you have to fall for a country girl?" Yan Daquan's words clearly carried the tone of an elder lecturing a younger generation, as if he was extremely disappointed with Dai Xingyun's choice.
Faced with Yan Daquan's accusations, Dai Xingyun's eyes turned unusually cold, and he stared directly at the other party without flinching.
He said in a cold voice, "Uncle Yan, please watch your words. It is my personal freedom to choose what kind of partner I choose, and I can tell you with certainty that my partner is absolutely unmatched."
Yan Daquan trembled with fright. He stared at Xingyun in disbelief and angrily rebuked, "Xingyun, what kind of attitude is this? My grandmother personally went to your house to discuss your marriage with my Yanqing."
“From now on, I am your proper elder, and you have been so rude! I will be magnanimous and not hold it against you because you are young and immature. But I expect you to break off your relationship with this woman immediately in front of us!”
Upon hearing this, Shen Xiaochuan's face turned ashen with rage. He roared furiously, "Where did these stray dogs come from, barking here? If anyone was going to dump him, it was my sister who dumped him. It's none of your business to point fingers!"
Upon seeing this, Dai Xingyun felt a pang of anxiety and without hesitation pulled Shen Xiaoxiao tightly behind him.
His gaze was firm as he stared straight at Shen Xiaochuan, saying without flinching, "Brother! Don't cause trouble here. Xiaoxiao and I are truly in love, and I can never be separated from her in this lifetime!"
Although his voice was not loud, the determination it contained was as firm as a rock, making it impossible to ignore.
However, Shen Xiaochuan remained unmoved. He still looked at Dai Xingyun with a cold face, seemingly completely disregarding his words.
Seeing this, Dai Xingyun's anger rose even higher.
He glared at Yan Daquan and said without any politeness, "Yan Daquan, I call you 'uncle' not because you're my uncle, it's just a matter of courtesy. My family knows about Xiaoxiao, and no one objects. Who do you think you are? Let's separate here!"
His words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight at Yan Daquan.
At this moment, Yan Qing, who had been standing to the side, finally couldn't help but speak up. Her eyes were red, and tears were welling up in them, making her look extremely pitiful.
"Brother Xingyun! How can you talk to my father like that? My father is just worried that you've been fooled by that country girl." Yan Qing's voice was gentle and melodious, making people feel pity for her.
However, Dai Xingyun remained completely unmoved by her words. His gaze remained fixed on Shen Xiaoxiao.
Shen Xiaoxiao stood behind Dai Xingyun, quietly watching everything. A strange sense of familiarity suddenly welled up in her heart. Oh, right! The internet term "white lotus".
"Don't call me brother!" Dai Xingyun said coldly and stiffly. "I don't have a sister like you. Our two families have only met twice. What kind of relationship do we have?"
His words were like a sharp blade, ruthlessly severing the already fragile relationship between the two. Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Yan Qing's eyes like a burst dam.
"Brother Xingyun, how could you talk to me like that?" Yanqing's voice was trembling with tears, filled with grievance and confusion. "I like you so much, how could you be so cruel as to reject me?"
However, Dai Xingyun was completely unmoved by her sobs and even interrupted her impatiently: "Enough! I don't need your affection. Hearing you say that only makes me feel disgusted."
"Also, stop calling me Brother Xingyun. We don't know each other at all!"
"Xiaoxiao, let's go!" Dai Xingyun held Shen Xiaoxiao's hand tightly and stepped downstairs without hesitation.
Upon seeing this, Shen Xiaochuan snapped out of his daze and hurriedly shouted, "Dai Xingyun, stop right there! Where are you taking my sister?"
Dai Xingyun seemed not to hear Shen Xiaochuan's calls at all. Without pausing, she replied without turning her head, "Of course I'm going home. I've already bought everything I need here. What's the point of staying here?"
Seeing Dai Xingyun's attitude, Shen Xiaochuan couldn't help but feel annoyed, but he still quickly followed and stayed close behind them.
When he reached the top of the stairs, Shen Xiaochuan stopped and turned to look at Yan Qing and her father.
Sure enough, he saw the gloom and resentment in the eyes of the father and daughter.
Shen Xiaochuan inwardly cried out in alarm, knowing that the father and daughter would definitely not let the matter rest so easily.
So he quickly caught up with Dai Xingyun, grabbed his arm, and pulled him aside.
