This honest and passionate confession moved both Chu Xin'er and Ye Nian'an.
"Well done, Siqing!"
Chu Xin'er patted her shoulder heavily: "This is what independent women of our new era are like! Daring to love and hate! I support you!"
Ye Nian'an also held her hand, his eyes full of relief: "Siqing, you deserve the best. Your brother didn't misjudge you."
"Mommy~ What's all the commotion about?"
Inside the main room, ten little ones with pointed ears were awakened by the noise outside. Rubbing their sleepy eyes, they came out in their pajamas, wobbling.
Seeing her older brother and future sister-in-law's marriage was a sure thing, Ye Nian'an was in a great mood and picked up her brother, who was running ahead of her.
She pointed at Leng Siqing, whose cheeks were flushed, and announced loudly to the ten little ones with a smile:
"Why aren't you changing your address? You two are about to have a great-aunt!"
"Auntie?!"
Ten pairs of big, dark eyes all turned to Leng Siqing, their gazes filled with curiosity.
Leng Siqing's face flushed red, and she was so embarrassed that she wished she could evaporate on the spot!
Dada was the first to react, sweetly calling out, "Auntie!"
Ye Nian'an clapped her hands: "Wow! Daddy is so amazing! Daddy knows to call Auntie 'Auntie' now!"
Seeing this, Er'er and San'san, who were running behind, immediately followed suit and shouted in their childish voices.
"Auntie!!"
"Auntie!!"
This has caused quite a stir.
The remaining seven little ones, though still a bit confused and unaware of what exactly "auntie" meant, were simply following their older siblings' lead and making a fuss—it was in their nature!
In an instant, the shouts of "Auntie" rose and fell, like a string of firecrackers exploding in the yard, making Leng Siqing dizzy and her soul almost fly away.
"Auntie, why is your face so red? Are you sick?"
Xiao Wu blinked her big, dark eyes and curiously leaned forward, reaching out her soft little hand to touch Leng Siqing's forehead.
"Auntie, when are you getting married to our uncle? Will you be living with us after you get married?"
"Oh, no, they're staying at our house now, but they'll be staying at their grandparents' house later."
As a big shot, Da Da's focus is always so forward-thinking and insightful.
"Yes, yes! If we get married, will we have a baby? Will we soon have a little cousin?"
Er'er followed closely behind, excitedly asking further questions.
Ten little ones, ten curious little mouths, chattered and surrounded Leng Siqing, making it impossible for her to get through.
Leng Siqing was completely thrown off balance by the enthusiastic "attack" from these adorable girls.
She was so nervous that she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet, and could only wave her hands incoherently: "I...I'm not...you...you shouldn't call me that..."
"Tsk tsk tsk, look at how pathetic you are!"
Chu Xin'er, who was watching from the side, was overjoyed. She leaned forward, grinned mischievously, put her arm around Leng Siqing's shoulder, and deliberately raised her voice to fan the flames at the group of kids.
"Don't listen to your aunt, she's just shy! The louder you call out, the happier she is! What does that mean? It means your aunt is secretly overjoyed!"
"I...I didn't!"
Leng Siqing was both embarrassed and anxious, and reached out to cover Chu Xin'er's unrestrained mouth.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing Leng Siqing's adorable expression, as if she were about to be driven crazy, Chu Xin'er laughed heartily.
Chi Xinyao watched all this silently from the courtyard, a gentle and gratified smile on her face.
Seeing Ye Yao and Si Qing reach this point now, she is genuinely happy for them.
"Alright, alright, you little rascals, and you too, Xin'er!"
Ye Nian'an cleared her throat, clapped her hands in a serious manner, and successfully attracted everyone's attention.
"You all know how to bully your Aunt Siqing because she's easily embarrassed! If you keep making a scene, your auntie will be scared away!"
As soon as she spoke, the ten little ones fell silent and all looked at their mother, afraid that they might scare away the "aunt" they had been looking forward to.
Chu Xin'er chuckled and decided to stop while she was ahead.
Ye Nian'an abruptly changed the subject, her eyes, filled with a mischievous smile, locking onto Chu Xin'er.
"If we're talking about being thin-skinned, I don't think some people are much better at it."
"We're close to getting results with Siqing, and my third brother has also won over Shuling. Xin'er, now it's just you left."
"I?"
Chu Xin'er pointed to herself, looking completely bewildered.
"Yes, it's you!"
Ye Nian'an's lips curled into a "malicious" smile.
“Song Yan comes to our house every day now, three times a day. He’s practically treating our Chu family compound as his second home.”
"Now that my third brother and my future sister-in-law are together, and my eldest brother and Siqing are practically engaged, when are you and Song Yan planning to visit the Song family and meet your future in-laws?"
boom--!
This unexpected boomerang struck Chu Xin'er precisely back at herself!
Miss Chu, who had just been gloating and jumping around, froze instantly.
"I...I...Sister-in-law, what are you saying!"
Before she could even argue, Chi Xinyao, who was standing nearby, joined the "marriage urging" army.
“Xin’er, your sister-in-law is right. Song Yan comes to our house eight times a day now. I’m starting to see him as half a son.”
“Look, Asheng and Shuling, Ayao and Siqing, there’s progress on both.”
"On the contrary, you two, who were the first couple in our compound to get engaged, how come it's been dragging on until now, and neither set of parents has officially made a decision on this matter? Tell me the truth, what are your plans?"
This time, it wasn't just his sister-in-law teasing him; even his own mother personally stepped in to "force him out"!
Even the little brats who were just besieging Leng Siqing have all moved to a different spot and are now surrounding Chu Xin'er.
"Auntie, you're blushing! Are you shy because you're talking about Uncle Song Yan?"
"Auntie, when are you finally going to marry Uncle Song Yan? We can't wait any longer and we're already calling him Uncle!"
"Yes, yes! Uncle Song Yan always brings us lots and lots of delicious food whenever he comes! Now that he's an uncle, does he bring us delicious food every day?"
The children's innocent remarks were like tiny flames, adding fuel to the already burning face of Chu Xin'er.
"I...I..."
Caught between her mother, sister-in-law, and ten children, Chu Xin'er suffered repeated defeats and eventually gave up in despair.
"Okay, okay! I admit it, alright!"
"I...I met with Brother Song Yan today, and we've...we've already reached an agreement."
