Chapter 179 Did a donkey kick your head?
"Wanrong, you haven't been coming to the family compound very often lately?"
Li Xiuzhen was also chatting with Liu Wanrong.
Liu Wanrong's father was the head of the cultural troupe and had some connections with Qian Guangtao. In addition, Liu Wanrong had a relationship with Xiao Yunfeng, so Li Xiuzhen gradually became familiar with her as well.
According to the generational hierarchy of Liu Wanrong's father's side, she should call her aunt.
However, it's acceptable for Xiao Yunfeng to call Qian Guangtao "brother" and for her to call her "sister-in-law."
Liu Wanrong, of course, wouldn't say it was because of Xiao Yunfeng's cold treatment, so she made up a random excuse: "I was away for a while recently and only just got back."
Li Xiuzhen had no doubts. "Yunfeng has devoted all his energy to the army. He has wronged you all these years."
Xiao Yunfeng was an orphan who joined the army at the age of eighteen. He had gone through many hardships and dangers, and Qian Guangtao and Li Xiuzhen treated him like family.
He was extremely worried about his romantic life.
"I'm not wronged, Yunfeng treats me very well," Liu Wanrong said shyly, her expression making it hard for anyone not to misunderstand.
Upon seeing her like this, Li Xiuzhen immediately understood.
"Don't worry, we will urge Yunfeng to finalize your marriage as soon as possible."
Liu Wanrong's eyes lit up, clearly filled with anticipation, but she still pretended to be reserved and said, "Sister-in-law, there's no need to rush him. We've already made an appointment, and we'll get married after he finishes this busy period."
She spoke with such conviction, but who would have thought it was all just wishful thinking on her part?
Because that's how she told everyone outside, everyone in the family compound was absolutely certain about their relationship.
"Besides, Xiao Jin has just been found, and Yun Feng's mind is all on Xiao Jin right now, so there's no rush."
At this moment, Liu Wanrong acted very magnanimously, pausing deliberately after speaking to wait for Li Xiuzhen's reaction.
Li Xiuzhen did not deny this, "You are very sensible. Xiaojin was raised by Yunfeng, and they have a deep bond. It's normal for Yunfeng to care about her more."
A fleeting look of disappointment crossed Liu Wanrong's eyes as she continued, "Yes. I also treat Xiaojin like my own sister. Although Yunfeng and Xiaojin are not related by blood, their bond is genuine."
When she said "no blood relation," her voice seemed to rise a few decibels.
Li Xiuzhen didn't seem to understand her implied meaning, or perhaps she did but not think much of it.
"From now on, you'll be family, so I'll have to trouble you to take good care of Xiao Jin."
Liu Wanrong's smile froze. Seeing that she could not achieve her goal, she could only give up for the time being. "Yunfeng and I share the same thoughts and will take good care of her."
Liu Xiuzhen patted her hand with satisfaction, then went to take care of the other guests.
"I have no plans to get married," Xiao Yunfeng replied, his tone quite firm.
Qian Guangtao realized he wasn't joking and his face tightened.
What does this mean?
It's not that I have no plans to get married in the short term, but rather that I have no plans to get married at all. Although it's only a difference of a few words, the meanings are worlds apart.
"It means I don't plan to get married."
Xiao Yunfeng repeated it, and it sounded exactly the same as before.
Startled, Qian Guangtao suddenly raised his voice, "Are you kidding me?!"
Are you going to never get married?
To be a bachelor for life?!
Has he been kicked in the head by a donkey?
