Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

Since we can't avoid it, we might as well not try to avoid it at all!

At home, in front of my parents, I have to stand up for myself!

They need to know who really calls the shots in this family!

Thinking of this, Yang Xian cleared his throat, put on a stern face, and announced in an unquestionable tone.

"We don't have the habit of peeling fruit in our family."

"Apple peels are nutritious, so let's just eat them; they taste good too."

A life-or-death question?

If you know it's a death trap question, then you might as well not do it at all?

If you can't solve the problem, then solve the problem of the person who set the problem!

The words fell.

The air in the living room fell silent for a moment.

Su Lingling blinked her bright eyes, and the sweet smile on her face froze.

Jiang Mengyun's crossed legs came to an abrupt halt, and a crack appeared in her elegant expression.

Neither of them expected Yang Xian to respond in this way.

Yang Jianguo, peeking half his head out from the kitchen doorway, quietly gave his son a thumbs-up.

You little rascal, you're pretty good!

That's bold!

At the other end of the sofa, Bai Chuyi was taking small bites of an apple, her clear eyes full of innocence, completely unaware of the undercurrents swirling around her.

The two sisters, Feng and Ling, exchanged a glance, and then, imitating Bai Chuyi, picked up apples and began to crunch on them, the crisp sound echoing loudly in the quiet living room.

Lin Qingxue, who was standing to the side, was also a little surprised. She gently tugged at Su Lingling's sleeve and whispered, "Lingling, how about I peel it for you?"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, sister!" Su Lingling reacted quickly and immediately stuffed the apple into Lin Qingxue's hand.

He even deliberately cast a smug and provocative glance at Jiang Mengyun.

Look, I have people helping me!

"Damn it!" Jiang Mengyun was so angry that her teeth itched, and the corners of her mouth turned down slightly.

She subconsciously looked around her.

On the left is the innocent and adorable Bai Chuyi; if you asked her to hold a knife, she probably wouldn't even be able to hold it steady.

On the right are two wolf girls who have just transformed into human form, their eyes filled with curiosity about the unknown. They probably don't even know what a knife is for yet.

Expecting them to help is a pipe dream.

In this round, Jiang Mengyun actually lost to Su Lingling's best friend's help!

However, the next moment, the savior... no, the new calamity arrived.

"Yang Xian!"

Chen Yufen glared at her son, her tone full of disappointment and frustration:

"You silly child, how can you be so inconsiderate! There's no way you'd expect a customer to peel the fruit themselves!"

"Quick! Go peel their skins!"

Hearing his mother's words, Yang Xian felt like he was about to cry.

My dear mother!

I finally managed to climb out of that hellhole!

You're trying to push me further into a fire pit!

"Auntie, it's alright, I can do it myself." Su Lingling smiled sweetly, then changed the subject:

"Yang Xian, why don't you go and help Jiang Mengyun peel it?"

"She's the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, someone who's never lifted a finger in the kitchen. She probably really doesn't know how to peel a fruit!"

These words sounded considerate, but they were actually meant to sow discord between Jiang Mengyun and Jiang Mengyun, subtly implying that she was spoiled and pampered.

"Who says I can't?"

Jiang Mengyun wasn't about to be taken advantage of, and immediately retorted, a faint smile playing on her lips: "It's just that Yang Xian's peeled ones taste better, and I just wanted the ones he peeled for me."

She wasn't lying; at home, she would occasionally peel fruit for her parents herself.

Jiang Mengyun looked at Yang Xian and continued, "Yang Xian, you should help her peel it first. After all, she's the only daughter of the Su family. What if she hurts herself?"

The ball was kicked back to Yang Xian's feet once again.

Mom!

Can you please leave me alone?

Just now they were vying for it, but now they're passing the buck.

This seemingly harmonious concession conceals a deeper underlying tension.

Someone please save me!

Just when Yang Xian felt he was about to give up...

"Ding-dong—"

The doorbell rang again!

To Yang Xian, the crisp sound of the bell was like heavenly music.

The tense atmosphere in the living room was instantly broken by the sudden doorbell ring.

Everyone's eyes turned to the doorway without prior arrangement.

The air... fell silent again, with only the whooshing sound of the kitchen range hood turning.

Even Yang Jianguo, who had been hiding in the kitchen pretending to be busy, couldn't help but peek out again.

Holy crap?

Are there more experts?

Chen Yufen looked at her son, her expression changing from confusion to shock, completely dumbfounded.

How many girls has that brat been messing with?!

Su Lingling and Lin Qingxue exchanged a glance, and saw the same astonishment in each other's eyes.

Besides us and Jiang Mengyun and the others, who else could it be?

Could it be another vixen from the school?

Jiang Mengyun seemed to have anticipated something; she took a small sip of tea, remaining calm and composed.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be her...

Zhou Xiyan!

"call--!"

Yang Xian breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling as if he had just escaped death.

Savior!

My savior!

Xiyan, oh Xiyan, you've come just in time!

He forced a slightly awkward smile, breaking the eerie silence first.

"Um, you guys chat first, I'll go open the door."

After saying that, Yang Xian rushed towards the door as if fleeing.

He turned the doorknob and slowly opened the door.

But what he saw outside the door made Yang Xian's smile freeze once again.

The person standing outside the door was indeed Zhou Xiyan.

She was wearing an elegant blue dress, her long blue hair reaching her waist, and her pretty face held just the right amount of gentleness as she quietly looked at him.

But... she wasn't the only one.

Besides Zhou Xiyan, there was another figure standing to her left and right.

One is her younger sister, Zhou Xier, who also has blue hair and a petite yet unusually voluptuous figure.

On the other side... stood Ye Huairou, a tall woman with a distinctive head of long purple hair, who was scrutinizing Yang Xian with a critical gaze.

and many more……?

Three people?

Before Yang Xian could recover from his shock...

"Brother Yang!"

A look of surprise instantly flashed in Zhou Xier's clear eyes. She shouted and rushed over with open arms.

"Xi'er, I'm so glad to see you again!"

"Bang!"

A muffled thud.

Zhou Xier crashed into Yang Xian's arms, the force of the impact causing him to involuntarily take a half-step back.

Good grief, that's a charging tackle!

Yang Xian finally came to his senses and managed to steady himself, but his mind was in even deeper confusion.

wrong!

I can understand why Xiyan brought Xier over.

Why did Ye Huairou come along too?

Logically speaking, she knows "Yang Yang" and "Yang Xi'an", but she could not possibly know "Yang Xian", right?

happy Yan should know that she and Xi Yan don't get along, so why did she bring her along?

Has Ye Huairou already figured out my disguise?
