Chapter 137 Mu Shaoting raised his hand and slapped him across the face...
137:
The steak was cut in no time.
Ye Qingxi picked up her fork and started eating.
I must say, the steak at this restaurant is pretty good. The meat is tender, juicy, and has a great texture.
Ye Qingxi ate a piece of steak one bite at a time.
He was eating when he heard Yang Yu say, "If you have time tomorrow afternoon, we can..."
"Auntie, I'd like a drink," Ye Qingxi said, turning to Mu Shaoting.
Mu Shaoting then realized that she hadn't ordered a drink for Ye Qingxi.
She quickly waved for the waiter to come over, ordered two glasses of juice, and also ordered a soup for Ye Qingxi.
Yang Yu: ...
Yang Yu remained calm and composed.
"If you have time, we can go together..."
"Auntie, I'd like to try your drink," Ye Qingxi said, leaning closer to Mu Shaoting and tilting her head.
Mu Shaoting immediately shifted his gaze from Yang Yu to Ye Qingxi.
"Here you go." She handed her grape juice to Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi took a bite and said, "It's sweet and sour."
"If you like it, have a few more sips."
"Mm." Ye Qingxi nodded.
Yang Yu: ...
After waiting for Ye Qingxi to finish her drink, Yang Yu spoke for the third time. But as soon as he said "Let's drink together," he heard Ye Qingxi say, "Auntie, try mine, mine is sweet."
Mu Shaoting naturally turned his attention back to it, and dutifully took a bite, praising, "It really is sweet!"
Isn't that obvious?!
Yang Yu was speechless!
Whose watermelon juice isn't sweet!
Is there anything bitter?!
Is this kid really that clueless or just pretending? How can he be so clueless!
Yang Yu was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Ye Qingxi looked up and saw him staring at her. Their eyes met, and Yang Yu quickly put on a fake smile.
Ye Qingxi laughed too.
"Brother, why aren't you eating your steak?" he asked deliberately. "Are you not feeling well? Can't you eat?"
She is innocent and childlike, and even has a touch of caring tenderness.
So Yang Yu could only smile and say, "No."
"Then brother, you should eat quickly~" Ye Qingxi said softly.
After he finished speaking, he started eating first.
Yang Yu: ...
Yang Yu lowered his head and slid the steak knife hard, as if he were cutting not steak, but Ye Qingxi's flesh.
After that, every time he tried to chat with Mu Shaoting, Ye Qingxi would interrupt them at the right moment.
After being interrupted by him so many times, Yang Yu could no longer suppress his anger and started selling tea again.
"Xiao Xi, do you not like me?" His voice was low, as if he was a little sad. "Is there something I did wrong that makes you keep interrupting me and not want me to chat with your aunt?"
Mu Shaoting: ? ? ?
"You're overthinking it." Before Ye Qingxi could speak, Mu Shaoting interrupted, "Xiaoxi has only just met you for the first time, what's there to like or dislike? Besides, did he interrupt you?"
Mu Shaoting disagreed, saying, "No, I don't think so."
“He’s just a kid, he doesn’t have any concept of interruption. Naturally, he’ll say whatever he wants. Especially since I’m his aunt, do you think he has to think things through before he speaks to me, whether he should say it, how he should say it, and when he should say it?”
Mu Shaoting said biasedly, "Don't use adult thinking to judge children's behavior. Only adults would deliberately interrupt others. Children don't have that concept, especially Xiao Xi. Xiao Xi was just worried that you were tired and embarrassed to let you take him home. Have you forgotten?"
Yang Yu: ...
Yang Yu certainly remembered.
It's precisely because I remember him that I'm even angrier!
This kid is definitely not someone to be trifled with!
Otherwise, how could he have eaten this much without exchanging even a few proper words with Mu Shaoting?!
Those who knew better would think this was a date between the two of them, but those who didn't would think it was the three of them sharing a table!
"I'm just worried that he doesn't like me," he said ingratiatingly.
"You haven't done anything to wrong me, so why doesn't he like you?" Mu Shaoting said indifferently.
Yang Yu: ...
Well said!
Ye Qingxi silently applauded his aunt in his heart.
He added fuel to the fire and served tea, asking, "Was I talking too much?"
As Ye Qingxi spoke, she looked at Mu Shaoting, her expression a mixture of self-reproach, grievance, helplessness, and confusion. "Then I'll stop talking for now. Aunt, you and Brother Yang Yu can chat. I won't say anything more."
After saying that, he turned his head and silently began to eat his steak.
How could Mu Shaoting stand him like this!
She quickly comforted him, saying, "No, no, baby, you don't talk a lot. How could you talk so much?"
As she spoke, she glared at Yang Yu and said, "Yang Yu, is that what you mean?"
What could Yang Yu say? He could only say, feeling frustrated, "Of course not."
"Then why did you say that just now?" Mu Shaoting said, dissatisfied.
It was rare for Ye Qingxi to go out alone with her. There was no one he knew here except her, so he was bound to stick close to her and want to talk to her more. What was wrong with that?
It's worth Yang Yu saying this specifically!
Now the child realizes he was wrong and doesn't dare to say anything anymore!
Mu Shaoting was both angry and heartbroken.
"What are you standing there for? Apologize!"
Yang Yu: ? ? ?
No, he apologized to the child in front of him?!
Yang Yu could hardly believe it.
"Hurry up!" Mu Shaoting urged.
Yang Yu: ...
Yang Yu could only console himself with the thought of future wealth and luxury, and the grand villa he could never afford in his lifetime.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoxi, it's my fault. I didn't mean it that way. Please don't stay silent."
Just wait and see. Once he marries Mu Shaoting and has his own child, his nephew will naturally fall out of favor.
Then we'll see how he deals with him!
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxi quietly raised her head and said softly, "It's okay, brother. I did seem to have been a little too clingy to Auntie just now."
"Isn't it natural for you to cling to your aunt?" Mu Shaoting continued to coax. "If you don't cling to your aunt, who else would you cling to? Your aunt won't allow it!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxi turned her head and smiled at her, her eyebrows and eyes curving, looking very gentle.
Mu Shaoting's heart melted instantly.
She hugged Ye Qingxi and said gently, "It's okay. Look, Brother Yang Yu isn't blaming you. Auntie likes talking to you too. If you didn't talk, Auntie would be the one who would be sad~"
"Mmm," Ye Qingxi said softly.
Mu Shaoting finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Here, try your aunt’s steak.” She forked a piece of her own steak for Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi took a bite and nodded, "Delicious."
"Then Auntie will try yours."
Ye Qingxi then forked a piece for her as well.
“Yours is good too,” Mu Shaoting said.
Ye Qingxi smiled and lowered her head to eat again.
This is what it means to pour tea effectively.
He glanced at Yang Yu silently. "You think you can get me tea? You don't even know if you're worthy."
After this incident, Mu Shaoting was afraid that Ye Qingxi would really think he had interrupted his conversation with Yang Yu and thus dare not speak. Therefore, he took the initiative to chat with Ye Qingxi.
They lived together, so naturally they had a lot to talk about.
They went on and on about Ye Qingxi's three friends, starting with the cartoons he usually watched, until Yang Yu across from him didn't know how to interject.
Yang Yu waited and waited, and finally it seemed that the two of them had finished talking. He looked down and saw that Mu Shaoting had finished his steak.
"I'm going to the restroom," Mu Shaoting said.
She looked at Ye Qingxi, "Baby, are you going?"
Ye Qingxi shook her head.
“Then baby, you wait for me here~” After she finished speaking, she looked up at Yang Yu, “Can you keep an eye on him for me?”
Yang Yu: ...
Yang Yu could only smile and say, "Okay."
Only then did Mu Shaoting leave with peace of mind.
Ye Qingxi watched Mu Shaoting disappear from her sight, and then saw Yang Yu's phone lying motionless on the table. Finally, she slowly turned her gaze to him.
"Brother Yang Yu, are you trying to woo my aunt?" he asked innocently.
Yang Yu was surprised that he would take the initiative to talk to him, and nodded with a smile.
"Why?" Ye Qingxi asked him.
"Of course it's because I like your aunt," Yang Yu said.
Ye Qingxi chuckled softly, but for some reason, Yang Yu felt that his smile was somewhat cold.
Strange, how could the smile of a five-year-old child be cold?
"Really?" Ye Qingxi asked gently. "I thought you wanted to be our family's son-in-law."
Yang Yu: !!!
At that moment, Yang Yu felt as if he could sense the malice coming from the child in front of him.
"What are you saying?" he said with a smile, trying to cover it up.
Ye Qingxi raised her hand and rested her chin on it. "That's how it's always portrayed on TV. Poor boys with no money fall for rich girls and just want to become their sons-in-law. Brother Yang Yu, you don't even have a car, so you're just a poor boy."
Yang Yu: ...
Yang Yu looked at him quietly.
Silent.
Silent
At this moment, he finally realized that he was not as naive and adorable as he had previously appeared.
"You did it on purpose," he said. "Everything you did before, was it all intentional?"
As he spoke, he reached for his phone.
But Ye Qingxi placed her hand on his, stopping him from moving.
He said, "Brother Yang Yu, what are you saying? I don't understand."
Yang Yu: ...
Ye Qingxi laughed, "Brother Yang Yu, now that you've become a live-in son-in-law, your children will have to take my aunt's surname, you know? They'll have to be surnamed Mu, boy or girl, that's for sure~ The children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren will all have that too~ Then your old Yang family will be finished~"
Yang Yu: !!!
Yang Yu's expression changed instantly.
Ye Qingxi let go of his hand, stood up, and slowly walked around the table to Yang Yu's side.
He caught a glimpse of Mu Shaoting out of the corner of his eye.
He leaned closer to Yang Yu and deliberately said, "Then your Yang family line will be cut off! The Yang family's ancestral rites will end!"
He got too close, and Yang Yu subconsciously raised his hand to push him away, wanting him to move further away from him.
As soon as he pushed her, before he could even utter a curse, Ye Qingxi seemed to stumble a couple of steps from his push and fell to the ground with a "thud".
The next second, tears welled up in his eyes.
"Xiao Xi!" Mu Shaoting ran over instantly.
Yang Yu: !!!
Yang Yu looked at Mu Shaoting running closer, somewhat bewildered. Why was she back?
How could it be so fast?!
"Auntie." Ye Qingxi looked up, tears streaming down her face.
Mu Shaoting quickly helped him up, patted off imaginary dust from his bottom, and asked worriedly, "Are you hurt? Baby, does it hurt?"
Ye Qingxi shook her head, "Auntie, I'm fine."
Yang Yu quickly interjected, "I didn't..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Mu Shaoting heard him speak, turned around, raised his hand, and slapped him across the face.
With a crisp and loud "smack," Yang Yu's face was knocked to the side.
