Chapter Sixteen: A Slight Show of Affection

  ♂?,,

  "Wow wow wow - great!" She applauded again and shouted, at this moment, Liu Yan Yue had completely lost her usual icy demeanor, just like a little girl, envying these mud-covered soldiers.

  Xiao Qiufeng sat in the armchair, processing documents while shaking his head helplessly. He had no way to deal with this woman now. It seemed that only Old Man Xiao could intervene and negotiate with Old Man Liu to restrict her from coming to the Xiao residence.

  Otherwise, as soon as she arrived, this training session turned into a performance, and those thirty or so silly boys were busy jumping and flipping around on various equipment to amuse Liu Yan Yue.

  It's not their fault, after staying in the army for a few years, even a mother pig would seem familiar, let alone a stunning beauty like Liu Yan Yue at this moment.

  After playing and fooling around, it was time to eat dinner. The remaining glow of the sunset faintly dyed a few strokes of parting sorrow, and another day's light had quietly passed away.

  Liu Yan Yue seemed to be enjoying herself, and didn't seem to have any intention of leaving. Just as Xiao Qiu Feng couldn't bear it anymore and was about to order someone to send her away, Tian Fu walked in. She had also just finished playing cards and only then found out that Liu Yan Yue had arrived.

  They have always liked Yan Yue, and this is the woman their precious son likes. As parents, they should create opportunities for their son. Tian Fu greeted warmly as soon as she came in: "Yan Yue, this little girl, came without even asking for peace, hiding here, and everyone at home was worried and called."

  Liu Yan Yue snapped back to reality, raised her hand to look at the watch on her wrist, and exclaimed: "Oh no, I've overstayed my welcome! Auntie, I have to go now. Next time when I'm free, I'll come over again to chat with you."

  Tian Fu smiled and stopped her, saying: "Alright, no need to be anxious, anyway it's already late going back, let's just have dinner here before heading back. I knew you were coming, so I had the kitchen add a few more dishes earlier. Whatever it is, we can talk about it after dinner!"

  She had wanted her to come to the Xiao family before, but this little girl had always refused, let alone stay for dinner. However, this time, she agreed without hesitation. Nevertheless, Tian Fu, who was being careful, inadvertently discovered that when the little girl agreed, she glanced at her cold and uncommunicative son with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

  Tian Fu secretly rejoiced in her heart, she was a clever person, and at this moment, somewhat annoyed, shouted: "Xiao Feng, this stinky little boy, Yan Yue rarely comes once, doesn't know how to treat him well, he's been here for so long, not even giving him a cup of water, isn't that too impolite?"

  Politeness? Does this woman need politeness?

  But as soon as Old Mother spoke up, Xiao Qiufeng stood up and shouted at the crowd of trainees: "Those who have met the standard can eat, those who haven't will continue."

  Then he walked up to the two women and said politely to Liu Yan Yue: "Miss Liu, please, are you thirsty? I'll go inside and fetch a bucket of water."

  Both women were shocked. Liu Yan Yue's temper flared up, and she retorted, "Drinking water uses a water bucket, it's just a big bucket."

  Tian Fu couldn't help but laugh and cry, wasn't it said that this little girl was as cold as ice and had no good feelings towards her son? But now, they seemed like lovers, bickering and entwining with each other.

  "Shut up, Xiaofeng. Let's go." Tianfu naturally helped Liu Yan Yue and pushed Xiao Qiu aside, then walked over and said: "Yan Yue, don't mind this kid. Come on, let's go eat. Treat this place like your own home, don't be polite. If you need anything, just open your mouth and ask."

  She gave Xiao Qiufeng a glare, then grasped Tian Fu's arm and said sweetly: "Thank you, Aunt."

  The Xiao family had fewer people now, and with Liu Yan Yue added, there were only four of them.

  Ping said, everyone was eating slowly and chatting about some small topics, but today, Tian Fu actually pulled Liu Yan Yue to talk non-stop. The host, Xiao Yuan He, was also delighted. Although this little girl had been the nominal daughter-in-law of the Xiao family for a long time, she never called them Dad and Mom, and it was even worse than strangers, never coming to the Xiao family.

  At this moment, the two of them almost forgot about their own son, and instead busied themselves serving dishes to Liu Yan Yue, being very attentive, while watching Xiao Qiufeng with a stomach full of anxiety.

  "Yan Yue also saw that Xiao Bo and his mother were very bored at home, and had time to come and sit more often." Tian Fu said with a somewhat despondent tone.

  The Xiao family's wealth is endless, but they are very lonely. Every day, the father and son have their own things to do, leaving only her, a woman, guarding the vast estate, it's too quiet.

  Xiao Yuanhe also said: "Yes, we are thinking that Xiao Feng will soon get married and have children, and add a few more mouths to the Xiao family, so that us old couple can have something to worry about!"

  Liu Yan Yue glanced at Xiao Qiu Feng, who was eating with his head down, and seemed to be slightly jealous as she said: "He's not very capable, yet he has so many romantic conquests. If Elder Xiao and Madam wanted to, wouldn't that be the simplest thing?"

  Tian Fu saw this and hastily added: "Don't mention that kid, in the past when he was outside being reckless, he didn't find a true heart, but now he can turn over a new leaf and be steady, as parents we should arrange a good marriage for him, these days I've been preparing to arrange a blind date for him."

  Where is such a thing, Xiao Qiufeng raised his head, just about to refute, the old mother had already given him a murderous look, as if threatening him not to speak, and reluctantly lowered his head again, eating silently.

  "But this kid doesn't like that one, and doesn't like the other one either. I don't know what kind of woman he likes. Alas, we want to hold our grandchild, it's so hard!" Tian Fu said with a sigh.

  This play is quite real, even Xiao Yuanhe on the side saw it. Just now, his wife glared at her son and didn't let him speak. This is the first time he has been seen through by her. He can't figure out what his wife wants to do.

  "Not all men like beautiful women, Auntie, don't worry, you will definitely find one that satisfies you." Perhaps it was a mother's heartache, Liu Yan Yue comforted her very kindly.

  "It's a pity that the engagement with Yan Yue didn't work out, otherwise it wouldn't be so troublesome. To be honest, finding another daughter-in-law like Yan Yue who can satisfy both of us is really difficult."

  As soon as he heard his mother mention it, Xiao Qiufeng suddenly remembered and raised his head to say: "Dad, since the engagement is off, we still have to save face. Let's find a time to go to the Liu family and tell Uncle Liu about it, so they won't think I'm clinging to their young lady."

  Doing things early brings peace of mind. Xiao Qiufeng felt that there was no need to drag this matter on any longer. He thought that with a single word, the woman would leave and everything would be fine, given her dislike for Xiao Qiufeng. But unexpectedly, the woman didn't leave, and until today, things were still unclear.

  Watching this man hastily cancel the engagement, Liu Yan Yue couldn't help but get angry. What was wrong with her? In the beginning, it was this scoundrel who shamelessly took advantage of me, thinking he could so easily dump me? It's not that easy.

  "Auntie, actually, this matter, our two families can still discuss it again. The engagement doesn't necessarily have to be called off."

  Xiao Yuanhe hastily said: "Yan Yue, these years have been very hard, for the Xiao family, paid out so much heart and blood, self-denial, how can we drag our feet like this? Although I and Auntie both like it, hope to be the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, but some things cannot be forced, rest assured, in a few days, I will go and tell Dad clearly about this matter."

  "Yes, yes, Yan Yue, having been Xiao Feng's fiancée for three years, should have gotten married long ago. Who knows, maybe by now there would be grandkids too. But it wasn't a happy life, and we didn't want to force it either. Fortunately, we didn't live together, and nothing happened, so you can still pursue your own happiness and find the man you like."

  Liu Yan Yue's face was somewhat pale and grey, she didn't know that when this matter finally came to an end, she only then discovered that the outcome wasn't what she had hoped for at this moment. When did her concerns change without her even realizing it?

  But this expression has already been seen by Tianfu, who is also a woman. Just from the little girl's attitude towards her son earlier, she has discovered many problems. Now, Yan Yue's deep loss makes her uncontrollably happy.

  At the moment when Liu Yan Yue was most distracted, Tian Fu had already held her hand and seemed to be muttering to herself: "Auntie has always been dreaming of the most beautiful dream, Yan Yue marrying into the Xiao family, going to work with Little Wind every day, falling in love, accompanying us old couple, having a grandson, what a happy family!"

  This depiction is a happy reverie for anyone.

  Looking at everyone indulging in this imaginary happiness, Tian Fu suddenly said: "Yan Yue, why don't we let Auntie be selfish for once, fulfill this dream, and the engagement won't be dissolved. Let's set an earlier wedding date for our two families."

  Liu Yan Yue's heart skipped a beat, her lost expression suddenly turned into joy. Although the marriage was a bit abrupt, when she heard that they didn't have to cancel the engagement, her heart was racing with excitement.

  She couldn't understand either why she had such emotions. Did she actually like this bad guy? She didn't dare to admit the fact.
