Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 292 Yifei's Exaggeration

"Zeng Xiaoxian!"

Yifei was taken aback. She never expected that Zeng Xiaoxian would side with her mother instead of her.

Zeng Xiaoxian then realized that his previous words had only caused trouble for Zhanbo and Wanyu.

Then he changed the subject: "But on the other hand, young people's likes and feelings are very changeable these days."

"Zhanbo is too young and unsettled. Today he might like Wanyu's quirky and clever nature, tomorrow he might like Meijia's cuteness and charm, and the day after tomorrow he might like Youyou's ever-changing charm."

"Auntie, I think Zhanbo is so good at what he's doing and so young, there's no need to rush."

"Why not let him settle down a bit more and settle down? Who knows, Zhanbo might bring you back a perfect daughter-in-law someday."

"Even if Zhanbo still doesn't make any progress in another year or two, you're still here as his future top matchmaker. Helping Zhanbo find a girl is a piece of cake for you."

"So why should we rush things?"

After undergoing a major makeover by Guo Xiannan, Zeng Xiaoxian is no longer the ordinary salted fish he once was; now he's a salted fish that's been painted with gold paint.

Even if this layer of gold paint can't change the fact that it's a salted fish, and the gold paint will eventually peel off, at least it looks pretty impressive now.

Thanks to the eloquence she had honed from selling autographed photos, Aunt Yuan was momentarily fooled by Zeng Xiaoxian's rhetoric.

"That makes sense."

Aunt Yuan nodded in agreement: "Zhanbo is indeed a bit too young for his age. He's not settled in relationships. He should be allowed to settle down for another year or two."

"That's right."

Zeng Xiaoxian raised his eyebrows at Yifei smugly, as if he were asking for credit.

Look how well I did this time!

Yifei merely gave a light hum, but the smile in her eyes as she looked at Zeng Xiaoxian clearly indicated that she thought he had done a good job this time.

I never thought you, you scumbag, would be of any use sometimes.

Just as the two breathed a sigh of relief and were exchanging glances, Aunt Yuan asked another question.

"So, have you and Yifei settled down about your relationship yet?"

Zeng Xiaoxian didn't understand what Aunt Yuan meant by asking that question: "Yifei and I are definitely committed to each other."

"That's good, that's good... It's good that it's been settled."

Aunt Yuan said with a smile, "Since you two have already settled down in your relationship, and you're not young anymore..."

She clapped her hands and asked anxiously, "Xiaolian, why don't we take advantage of the New Year holiday to have our parents get together and settle your marriage plans first!"

"What?" Yifei and Xiaoxian exclaimed at the same time.

[In his inner world, Zeng Xiaoxian looked at Hu Yifei beside him, who was holding a spiked club and had a fierce expression, and he began to tremble all over.]

[Weren't we just supposed to pretend to be boyfriends to fool our parents? How did it turn into discussing marriage?]

【hiss……】

Zeng Xiaoxian gasped, rubbing his chin, his eyes filled with a mixture of fear and smugness.

Is my brother Xian's charm really that unparalleled? He only visited for less than a day, and Yifei's mother is already eager to marry her daughter to me?

Zeng Xiaoxian was about to burst into triumphant laughter, but upon seeing Yi Fei's fierce gaze beside him, he immediately shrank back, turning into a trembling quail.

[It's too early to be complacent. Putting aside whether this pace of discussing marriage is too fast, my fiancé is none other than the deadly she-devil Hu Yifei!]

[Hu Yifei, Hu Yifei...]

[Zeng Xiaoxian, seemingly lost in thought, squinted and grinned like a sissy. His body swayed and twisted, as if he were performing a frenzied dance.]

Ugh~ I'm not ready yet.

He pinched his pinky finger and smiled happily.

The next moment, Zeng Xiaoxian's head made intimate contact with the spiked club in Yifei's hand.

[Hu Yifei, carrying a spiked club, kicked the unconscious Zeng Xiaoxian with a look of disgust.]

She said in a cocky, roguish tone: "You all saw it, right? This guy was acting so obnoxious and lewd just now, whoever wants him can have him!"

Yifei twitched her nose and emphasized again: Whoever wants it can have it, but I don't want it!

"No, absolutely not!" Yifei refused without even thinking.

Bringing Zeng Xiaoxian home was already a depraved act, let alone discussing marriage with him...

【Alas……】

"Why?" Aunt Yuan asked in surprise.

"Because, because..."

Yifei's eyes began to wander, and her hands and feet became unnatural.

Before she could think of what to say, Nanfeng and his group of four had already walked up to them.

Zeng Xiaoxian was startled by the strange man in front of him, who was wearing a green military overcoat, a motorcycle helmet on his head, and a red floral jacket underneath.

He exclaimed in shock, "Holy crap, where did this bizarre creature come from?"

"Teacher Zeng, it's me."

Nanfeng said calmly.

Although dressing like this is a bit strange... well, it is very strange.

But as long as you pretend not to be embarrassed, then it will be others who are embarrassed.

Logically speaking, there's nothing wrong with Nanfeng thinking this way, but he did overlook one thing.

That means Zeng Xiaoxian is no ordinary person.

He's a scoundrel.

"Hahahaha..." A merciless laugh, sounding exactly like Stephen Chow's, came from Zeng Xiaoxian's mouth.

Feeling that Nanfeng had tricked him badly on New Year's Eve, Zeng Xiaoxian said sarcastically, "Hey, isn't this Nanfeng? Why are you dressed like that?"

He patted Nanfeng on the shoulder with a cheeky grin: "Look at you, wearing a military overcoat and a motorcycle helmet. It makes me think that spacesuits these days are all made with such cheap materials."

"I didn't realize, Nanfeng, that you also dream of becoming an astronaut."

"How about I buy you a few bags of Xizhilang jelly?"

Nanfeng looked at Zeng Xiaoxian with a smile, her eyes full of concern for the deceased.

Zeng Xiaoxian was laughing heartily when he turned around and saw Yifei's parents staring at him in surprise. Clearly, the arrogant and cheeky Zeng Xiaoxian from just now was not what they had expected.

Xiao Xian was speechless for a moment: "Uncle and Aunt, Nanfeng and I... Nanfeng and I were just joking."

"We're good brothers, it's normal to joke around once in a while, isn't it?"

As he spoke, he gave Nanfeng a warm hug, and whispered in her ear, "If we mess up Yifei's situation, we'll both be in deep trouble."

Nanfeng thought about it and realized that this made sense, so he hugged Zeng Xiaoxian tightly in response.

"Teacher Zeng, it's been a long time! You've gotten quite the smooth talker lately."

Nanfeng said through gritted teeth.

[Zeng Xiaoxian, it seems you didn't learn your lesson well enough after mocking Wanyu's makeup last time.]

[It's okay, I'll give you a bigger one after you've dealt with Yifei!]

After hugging Zeng Xiaoxian, Nanfeng greeted Yifei's parents: "Aunt Yuan, Happy New Year, Uncle Lu!"

Happy New Year, Nanfeng!

Aunt Yuan looked at Nanfeng with curiosity as well: "Why are you dressed like this today?"

"I have a minor health issue. The doctor said I shouldn't be exposed to the wind for the next few days, so I might as well wear a helmet to protect myself," Nanfeng said, pulling out the excuse he had just used to deal with the others.

"I see."

When Guan Gu saw Zeng Xiaoxian's outfit today, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Teacher Zeng, you look very handsome today!"

"Yeah?"

Zeng Xiaoxian's lips curled slightly. He adjusted his hair and gave Guan Gu a captivating wink: "Tell me in detail how handsome I am?"

"hehe……"

Guan Gu twitched the corner of his mouth, knowing that Teacher Zeng's narcissistic tendencies had struck again.

Hoping to improve Zeng Xiaoxian's image in front of Yifei's parents, Guan Gu said, "You look very mature and composed today, intelligent and wise, well-dressed, dignified, hypocritical, and incredibly lecherous..."

"stop!"

Zeng Xiaoxian chuckled dryly, "Guan Gu, you still use idioms so well..."

"No, no."

Guan Gu smiled sheepishly.

"By the way, Uncle and Aunt, let me introduce you."

Zeng Xiaoxian pointed to Wanyu and the other two and introduced them: "This is Wanyu, this is Guangu, and this is Zhang Wei. They are all our friends. Wanyu and Guangu are our roommates, and Zhang Wei plans to move into our apartment as soon as he graduates from graduate school."

Wanyu and the other two politely wished Yifei's parents a Happy New Year.

Happy New Year! Happy New Year!

Uncle Lu and Aunt Yuan laughed heartily. They were both extremely witty and humorous people, and they really enjoyed the feeling of mingling with young people.

Aunt Yuan seemed to be a little too enthusiastic.

She stepped forward, took Wanyu's hand, and asked kindly, "You must be Wanyu. This young lady is very pretty."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Wanyu felt a little uncomfortable with Aunt Yuan's excessive enthusiasm, as it was their first meeting.

Yifei shook her head helplessly.

She knew that even if her mother gave up on directly matchmaking Zhanbo and Wanyu, she wouldn't let go of this opportunity to get to know her potential future daughter-in-law better.

Seeing Wanyu's troubled expression, Zhanbo quickly came to her rescue, saying, "Mom, let's not stand here chatting like idiots. Let's hurry to Grandpa's house."

"My maternal grandparents have been waiting for us since early this morning; they must be getting impatient."

"That's true."

Aunt Yuan thought for a moment, then warmly invited Nanfeng and the others, "You haven't been to Yifei's grandfather's house yet, would you like to come over for a visit?"

The four exchanged glances and nodded in unison, saying, "Okay."

Since I'm free today anyway, I might as well go to Yifei's maternal grandfather's house for a while.

It wasn't for any other reason than to see how Teacher Zeng, this fake couple, would deal with Yifei's parents.

"Then let's hurry up and go. Yifei's grandparents and my uncles and aunts are all waiting for us."

Aunt Yuan straightened her back and said with a hint of pride, "And I should also go see my girlfriends. You have no idea how much they've been bragging to me for the past few years about how great their sons have found girlfriends and how great their daughters have found boyfriends."

"I'm always speechless when this topic comes up, but this time it's finally my turn to fight back."

"Hahaha……"

Aunt Yuan patted Zeng Xiaoxian on the shoulder with a smug look on her face: "Xiaolian, we'll be counting on you to make Auntie proud later."

Zeng Xiaoxian opened his mouth wide in surprise, his small eyes filled with astonishment.

Judging from this situation, he will not only have to face Yifei's maternal grandparents, but also a whole bunch of relatives and friends.

But my own upgrades and modifications haven't reached that level yet!

[South Wind? Zi Qiao?]

Could you please help me level up a few dozen more times?

Zeng Xiaoxian's heart was pounding, and he could already feel fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

Faced with Aunt Yuan's kind gaze, he could only nod and say, "Don't worry."

"Great, that's wonderful!"

Aunt Yuan became more and more satisfied with Zeng Xiaoxian.

The group headed to Yifei's maternal grandfather's house. Along the way, Aunt Yuan kept asking Wanyu about her well-being, which made Wanyu feel extremely uncomfortable.

Although Zhanbo kept trying to help Wanyu out of the predicament, there was really only so much he could do with his emotional intelligence.

Gradually, Zhanbo, Wanyu, and Yifei's parents walked to the front of the line, while the remaining five people lagged behind and chatted quietly.

"Teacher Zeng, why does Yifei's mother always call you Xiaolian?" Guan Gu asked curiously.

Zeng Xiaoxian shrugged and explained in a low voice, "I told Auntie my name was Zeng Xiaoxian the whole time, but I don't know why, Auntie just thought my name was Zeng Xiaolian."

"I tried to correct it several times but it didn't work, so I just gave up."

Guan Gu nodded, patted Zeng Xiaoxian on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, Teacher Zeng. Just think of it as a nickname that Yifei's mother gave you."

"hehe……"

Zeng Xiaoxian's lips twitched.

While her parents' attention was focused on Zhanbo and Wanyu, Yifei quietly signaled the others to slow down.

Seeing that the four people in front of them were already quite a distance away from the five of them, Yifei lowered her voice and said to Nanfeng and the other two, "Listen, there's something I need to tell you three in advance."

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Wei leaned closer curiously: "Are you and Teacher Zeng planning to turn your on-screen romance into a real-life relationship?"

"Go to hell!"

Yifei pushed away Zhang Wei's dark face and, meeting the curious gazes of the three, said, "It's like this, you need to adjust your impression of Zeng Xiaoxian a little."

"Because when I was talking to my mom about Zeng Xiaoxian before, I exaggerated him a little bit, so whatever you hear later, please don't be surprised or question it."

Zeng Xiaoxian seemed unhappy when he heard about this; he drooped his eyes and remained silent.

"A measly exaggeration of a billion?"

Nanfeng crossed her arms and teased, "How much have you exaggerated Teacher Zeng's reputation? Is he a pillar of the TV station, or the station director's favorite son?"

"No." Yifei shook her head.

Guan Gu speculated, "Could it be Eric Tsang's son?"

Zhang Wei shook his head, not quite agreeing with Guan Gu's idea: "Judging from Teacher Zeng's appearance, he should look like Teacher Bi Fujian's son."

Yifei smiled shyly, as if she was too embarrassed to say it.

The three of them, Nanfeng and his companions, exchanged a glance, their eyes suddenly lighting up.

If even Yifei is a little embarrassed to say it, then things get interesting.
