Chapter 404 A Mismatched Couple?
Chapter 404 A Mismatched Couple?
An Xiaoyue, who had been silently analyzing the situation, was suddenly called out by Hua Lan.
Her thoughts returned, she cleared her throat, and said seriously:
"All things considered, my brother is probably an intellectual lover when it comes to romantic relationships. With his abilities, he can offer some advice when Zhenzhen needs it. That's just..."
She changed the subject, but the other three looked even more expectant.
An Xiaoyue didn't keep them in suspense and continued, "Just like Hua Lan said, he's sometimes too childish and always makes Lucky cry."
"Yes, that's right. He made Lucky Baby cry at Xiaoyue's wedding and just now. Why does he always do this?"
Speaking of making Lucky cry, Zhong Lingxi, as Lucky's aunt, dislikes Leng Fangyi, her uncle, very much.
Why did you have to make such a cute and adorable person like Lucky cry?
Leng Fangyi is really awful!
An Xiaoyue touched her nose, somewhat embarrassed, and explained the reason: "The child pays for the mother's debts, based on the generating and restraining relationships of the five elements in traditional Chinese medicine."
"what?"
The three of them looked completely bewildered, unable to understand what An Xiaoyue meant at all.
An Xiaoyue explained, "Because my family spoils me too much and always puts my needs first, my brother's status in the family plummeted as soon as I came back, so he can only find some sense of existence with Xingyun."
"Hahaha~ He's so childish." Zhong Lingxi laughed without holding back. "But Zhen Zhen, for the sake of our lucky baby, why don't you consider winning over Leng Fangyi?"
“Right, right, I also think they’re a perfect match.” Hua Lan was very excited. “Zhen Zhen is a little proud, but she’s sensible. Although Brother Xiao Yue is childish, he’s very reliable when it comes to serious matters.”
The two of them were talking excitedly, completely ignoring Zhen Zhen's reaction.
Zhong Ling asked An Xiaoyue with delight, "Do you have any objections to Zhen Zhen becoming your sister-in-law?"
"I have no objection. As long as they are happy and living a good life, that's all that matters."
That's what An Xiaoyue said.
Actually, she also secretly thought:
If Zhen Zhen and Fang Yige were to become a couple, the atmosphere at home would not change at all, and there would be no need for any adjustment period.
But she is a rational person. She knows very well that relationships are not just about being compatible in every way. Two people need to have feelings for each other for a healthy relationship to last.
Zhen Zhen watched as An Xiaoyue, who always saw things most clearly, didn't stop her.
She had to speak up and stop everyone's open scheme.
"Don't play matchmaker! If you tell your partners, especially with that big mouth of the boss, how am I supposed to get along with Leng Fangyi after that?"
Zhong Lingxi, unwilling to give up, seduced Zhen Zhen.
“If you marry Leng Fangyi, you will be a member of the Leng family, and the family atmosphere you admire will become your home.”
Zhen Zhen covered her ears and shouted.
"I won't listen, I won't listen! You're just taking advantage of my single status, aren't you? It's not even close to happening yet."
"What if there's even a stroke to the character 'eight'?" Zhong Lingxi's smile was meaningful.
Zhen Zhen begged for mercy, "Little boss lady, please don't do anything rash, please let me go."
Zhong Lingxi: "Don't you have any feelings for Leng Fangyi?"
"Am I some kind of arrogant dog who can't stand anyone? Does that mean I have to have designs on every man I see?" Zhen Zhen was genuinely scared.
The young proprietress and the young proprietress, when they get together, are the kind of people who love to watch a good show.
If she didn't say something harsh, this lawless couple would have managed to bring her and Leng Fang together and try to match them up in front of everyone.
They'll be spending two days and two nights together, and they'll be seeing each other all the time, so she doesn't want to make things awkward for everyone.
Zhong Lingxi is a person who knows when to advance and when to retreat, and she hopes that Zhen Zhen is doing well.
But since her best friend had said that, she certainly wouldn't press the issue any further.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more."
Hua Lan was afraid that the two would start arguing, so she immediately took out the gifts she had prepared for everyone.
"Since you're all here, I'll give you my New Year's gift."
"This cardigan is for Lingxi. It's a cardigan design, so you can wear it when the baby gets bigger."
"The small blanket is for Zhenzhen. You can use it when you're on set."
"This pack is a matching set for Xiaoyue's family. You like strawberries, so I crocheted one around your cuffs. As for Lucky and President Fu's, I made it simpler, with only two strawberries crocheted on the chest area."
The three recipients tried on the gifts and all praised Hua Lan's craftsmanship.
"The length of the orchid is just right; it's perfect for wearing when I get up at night."
"Hualan, the little strawberries are so pretty, I like them."
"Little Flower, I've discovered that your handiwork is really good!" Zhenzhen really liked the blanket that Hualan had given her.
The blanket is covered with ingenious floral designs.
To prevent the blanket from unraveling after being folded, Hua Lan specially crocheted a rose and a branch to serve as a button to secure it.
Everyone loved the gift she gave, and Hua Lan's lovely almond-shaped eyes were filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.
"I couldn't think of a good gift for you, so I did what I'm best at: crocheting. I'm so glad you like it."
Zhen Zhen hoped she would be a generous and outgoing girl. She pinched Hua Lan's cheek and praised her:
“Our little flower is the most skillful, and as her older sister, I also have a New Year’s gift for you.”
Even before the New Year's Eve celebrations began, the four ladies couldn't wait to start exchanging gifts.
Unwrapping gifts is always a joyful moment, filling the room with laughter.
The four men playing billiards on the other side didn't have the same harmony as the group on the other side.
Fu Shengyang kept winning, which made Ji Yubai feel bored.
He had Chu Xiao take Fu Shengyang to the squash court, where he brutally beat Fu Shengyang and mocked him.
“He’s been staying home taking care of the kids for so long, his stamina must be failing him. You’re in the military, so you should put him on the defensive; he’s been too arrogant.”
So Fu Shengyang and Chu Xiao moved to another location to continue their competition, leaving Ji Yubai and Leng Fang to play billiards.
Ji Yubai continued applying chocolate powder, and then, as if chatting casually, he inquired about Leng Fangyi's personal life.
"Fang Yi, where's your girlfriend?"
Leng Fang uses a rest and bends over to hit the ball.
"Snapped!"
After a crisp, clean sound, the black ball slid a short distance and went straight into the pocket.
His serious expression finally softened a little. "We won."
Ji Yubai looked at the pool table and realized it was true.
"You little rascal, don't be too competitive!"
Leng Fang shrugged, extremely proud, "There's nothing I can do, that's just how strong I am."
After he finished speaking, he remembered that he hadn't answered Ji Yubai's question yet, "Girlfriend, right? I don't have one for now."
