Just as Xiao Gengwu was marveling at his daughter's talent, he suddenly heard Yao Tongxu's voice: "Sister, aren't you going to Huada University anymore?"
Yao Tongjia heard her younger brother's voice: "Brother, where have you been these past few days?" He clearly got off the plane that day, but he didn't even come to the Ruan family's courtyard; he just ran away.
Yao Tongxu came in with disheveled clothes, and despite the cold weather, he was covered in sweat. Yao Tongjia frowned and said, "What happened to you? You didn't even wipe yourself off in this cold weather!"
Yao Yanxin came out just then, carrying a plate of food: "Ah Xu, you've finished your mission? What happened to your clothes?"
When Ruan Shengpeng came out and saw his son's strange appearance, he frowned and asked, "What happened to you?"
Yao Tongxu shook his head: "Is there hot water? I want to take a shower!"
Yao Yanxin quickly replied, "Yes, there is hot water. Bring a bucket to pour it out!"
When Yao Tongxu came out of the shower, he saw a fair-skinned child sitting in Xiao Gengwu's lap, the two of them holding the Qiqiao Rings and discussing something.
Xiao Gengwu's eyes held a tenderness he had never seen before, which Yao Tongxu found extremely endearing: "Is this my niece or nephew?"
We met briefly at the airport that day, and he was pulled away to work. He only came back today and really doesn't know when his sister got pregnant or when she gave birth.
Yao Yanxin brought out the last dish: "This is your niece, Little Pudding, and this is your uncle. Call him uncle!"
Little Pudding looked up at Yao Tongxu, and that adorable look melted Yao Tongxu's heart. He sat down next to Xiao Gengwu and reached out his hand: "Can I have a hug from Uncle?"
Little Pudding, however, lay entirely in her father's arms, moving her body a little further away from Yao Tongxu, her rejection quite obvious.
Yao Tongxu said, somewhat aggrieved, "Brother Xiao, your daughter won't let me hold her!"
Xiao Gengwu was very satisfied. He would definitely be jealous if Yao Tongxu held Xiaobuding: "I'll let you hold him after we get to know each other in a few days!"
"You haven't been back for many days, have you? Didn't she let you hold her?"
Xiao Gengwu couldn't suppress the smirk: "I'm her father, this is just nature, you know? You'll understand when you get married!"
Yao Tongxu said "Oh," and dropped a bombshell: "I'm getting married!"
"What? You're getting married?" The voices were loud, startling Little Pudding, because it was all four of them speaking at the same time.
Ruan Shengpeng glared at Yao Tongxu, then quickly went over to help him by patting his chest: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we weren't being mean to you, we were being mean to your uncle!"
Little Pudding was startled, tears welled up in her eyes, and her lips trembled as she looked like she was about to cry. She hugged Ruan Shengpeng's neck tightly and cried out, "Grandpa, I'm scared!"
Ruan Shengpeng's heart melted at this. He said in a high-pitched voice, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'll beat your uncle!" Then Ruan Shengpeng walked over and gently patted Yao Tongxu.
Yao Tongxu: "..." The person who called him was clearly not him, so why was he the one who ended up taking the blame? He just didn't dare to speak anymore, for fear that it would attract the attention of several people and frighten his niece. He could only silently endure everything.
Once Little Pudding fell asleep, the four of them sat down in a circle and stared at Yao Tongxu. Yao Tongxu felt very uncomfortable being stared at: "My sister already has a child, isn't it normal for me to get married?"
This looks like they've committed some heinous crime!
Yao Yanxin shook her head: "There's no problem with you getting married, but who are you going to marry? Don't you need to bring a girl to meet us?"
"You all know my fiancée, it's Li Youyou. I went to see her this afternoon, and her brother happened to be there too. He beat me up!"
"Where did he hit you? Do you need me to take a look? Why did he hit you?" Yao Tongjia still felt sorry for her younger brother; she was afraid that Li Chenyi had hurt him badly!
"It's alright, I'll just ask Brother Xiao to apply the medicine for me later. Didn't I disappear for two years like Brother Xiao? I did write her a letter and asked her to wait for me!"
"Her brother thinks I'm being coy and that I disappeared for two years to dump my sister! We couldn't tell him directly when we went there to do research, so he got angry and hit me!"
Yao Tongjia was genuinely worried: "Are you sure he didn't go for the kill? He's someone who specializes in fighting outside. Maybe he looks fine on the surface, but he might be internally injured!"
Yao Tongxu chuckled: "He had just started hitting when Youyou came over to help me block. His brother didn't dare to hit anymore, afraid of hurting his sister!"
Everyone: "......" This guy is such a coward, letting a girl block him, and he can still laugh so happily!
"Mom, could you help me ask for her hand in marriage? Her brother is probably going back to Hong Kong soon, and we want to do this while her brother is still getting married, so he can feel more at ease in Hong Kong."
Yao Yanxin knew Li Youyou. Li Youyou used to frequently visit Wu Xinyue at the clothing company; she was a very innocent girl.
No mother-in-law wouldn't like a girl like that. She nodded happily, "I'll go propose to you tomorrow. What do you need to buy?"
Ruan Shengpeng sneered: "Why do you call me 'Mom' but not 'I'm going to propose marriage'?"
When Yao Tongxu heard that his mother was willing to propose marriage, he relaxed and said, "Dad, you shouldn't get too close to Li Chenyi while you're in your military uniform. It's not good for either of you!"
Ruan Shengpeng shut up. They really couldn't get too close. Now was a critical moment. Why was Li Chenyi back?
There is occasional contact between the two sides, but there is a middleman between them, so he did not know that Li Chenyi would come. It seems that he needs to find a time to meet with him in private!
When his brother-in-law was getting married, Xiao Gengwu asked with concern, "Is your brother-in-law injured? This sudden marriage of yours is like entrusting his son to someone else!"
Yao Tongxu's brow twitched upon hearing this: "I saw that he was walking fine, and he hit me quite hard, so he shouldn't be injured, right? It's just that I went to see Youyou today, and he saw me, which is why he got angry and asked me if I just wanted to play around!"
"Of course I assured him that I wasn't just playing around, and then he said that if I didn't want to get married, he would find someone else to marry Youyou. I definitely had to agree to get married immediately!"
Now Yao Tongjia was also a little worried. She knew how much Li Chenyi cherished Li Youyou, and now he was practically urging her to get married. It was definitely because he was afraid that he hadn't made proper arrangements for his sister: "Mom, I'll drive you there tomorrow to see what's going on."
Yao Yanxin nodded: "Okay, let's go see what we need to buy tomorrow, let's go!"
Ruan Shengpeng was pulled away by Yao Yanxin, while Yao Tongxu, like a spineless wretch, leaned back in his chair and said, "Brother Xiao is really amazing. He's exhausted us both these past two days!"
Xiao Gengwu said coolly, "I'm not as good as you. Look at you, you just went to your partner's house and they started pressuring you to get married. I don't have that kind of experience!"
How could Ruan Shengpeng possibly urge his daughter to get married? In his heart, he wished his daughter would stay by his side and never get married!
