You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"What's wrong with you?" Yu Luying complained, "This is a rural area, not like the city, where there are roads everywhere. You're circling around... When you ask a girl out, shouldn't you meet her at the hotel entrance first? You just texted her and asked her to come over. What do you think of her? A call girl..." After saying these three words, she felt something was wrong, so she swallowed the last word "Lang": "If it weren't for the child, I think she would have broken up with you a long time ago."

Xiao Yao was a little embarrassed. He knew that Yu Luying was right and that he had done something wrong. However, he had just found this treasured stargazing spot and couldn't think of a good solution for the time being. "Uh - be more confident. Without Tianyun, no one will pay any attention to me, okay?"

"You still know that?" Yu Luying bared her teeth at him: "If you hadn't put this curse on me, I would have ignored you even if I died."

"Oh," Xiao Yao thought her face was cute, and he hooked his arm around the girl's shoulder with a playful smile, "Say something like that and it's hurtful, right?"

"And it's so late, you leave her alone, don't you worry about her safety?" Yu Luying said.

"I'm here to accompany you, aren't I?" Xiao Yao said, "If I go back to pick her up, won't you be alone again? I'm also worried about your safety - it's a dilemma."

"What else can you do besides being a smooth talker?" Yu Luying shook off the hand on her shoulder: "The only thing left on my body is my mouth."

"Hey, listen to me, I heard your grandfather and your uncle say--"

"I don't want to hear what those people say," Yu Luying covered her ears with her hands. "They can say whatever they want. I don't want to hear it, and you'd better pretend you didn't hear it."

"?" Xiao Yao didn't understand why Yu Luying said that, but he couldn't joke about serious matters, so he reached out and pulled off one of the girl's arms: "Stop it, listen to me."

Seeing the girl's reluctant expression, Xiao Yao told her exactly what he had heard in the bathroom, and then added his own understanding and analysis.

Yu Luying patiently listened to Xiao Yao's retelling of the conversation between Yu Texuan and Yu Baolu, and then interrupted him while he was talking about his thoughts: "I know - this has nothing to do with you."

Xiao Yao: "..."

Seeing the boy's shocked expression, Yu Luying realized that her tone was harsh, and quickly slowed down her tone and said, "What I mean is, this is my family affair, so you shouldn't worry too much about it. I know you care about me, and I appreciate your kindness."

After saying that, she snuggled into Xiao Yao's arms and twisted a few times on purpose. Then she was worried that Shen Jie would suddenly refresh, so she quickly sat up straight again.

"How can I not worry about your affairs? I'm your husband—I'm your boyfriend, okay?" Xiao Yao insisted, "What's more, this matter is directly related to me."

"What does it have to do with you?" Yu Luying said.

"Your uncle is doing bad things and is beating me up to prove that you are careless in choosing friends. I can't sit still..." Xiao Yao said anxiously.

"What did my uncle say you did wrong?" Yu Luying said calmly, "I just made the wrong friends."

"You——!" Xiao Yao was unhappy.

Yu Luying reached out and stroked Xiao Yao's fur: "Okay, haven't you ever heard me telling you to wear a hat or not to wear a hat?"

Xiao Yao: “?”

"If someone wants to cause trouble for you, they can use whether you step out with your left foot or your right foot first as evidence," Yu Luying told Xiao Yao.

"That being said, but he... me... you, will always be a topic of conversation." Xiao Yao was a little discouraged.

"This is not the first time that grandpa has mentioned that he wants to give me some of his assets," Yu Luying told Xiao Yao.

"Well, when I told you just now, I guessed it because you didn't seem surprised." Xiao Yao said, "You are not honest with me, you are hiding things."

"Xiao Yang persuaded me several times to accept it," Yu Luying stroked her ankle through her socks, "I was not interested and even argued with her several times about it."

"Who is Xiaoyang? Yu Yage?" Xiao Yao suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen her and talked to her - right between the school and the church, and it seemed that it was not yet summer vacation: "Is she the daughter of Uncle Paul?"

"Uh-huh." Yu Luying said.

"What did she advise you about? What did you disagree with? What were you arguing about?" Xiao Yao was a little confused.

"Don't you understand?" Yu Luying said, "I don't want to receive favors from the Yu family."

"What?" Xiao Yao's eyes widened, he couldn't believe his ears: "Why?"

Also, what does “they, the Yu family” mean?

"Why?" Yu Luying glanced at Xiao Yao in surprise: "A brave man will not eat food given out of pity."

"...What kind of warrior are you? You are just a little girl."

"Then I am a lady too."

"..." Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment before he said, "No, what do you mean it's just a gift from a beggar?"

"What else?" Yu Luying's tone was relatively calm at first, but as she spoke, she gradually became agitated: "He was so heartless to my mother. They treated me and my mother like this since we were young. Now we are almost dead, and we don't have much time left. I think of blood ties - you want to buy family ties with money? No way! I won't sell it, we won't sell it."

Xiao Yao: "..."

"I told Xiaoyang the same thing before," Yu Luying continued, "I will obey God's commandments and fulfill my duties. I will call him grandpa and uncle. I can go to see him during the holidays and see him for the last time. When he rests in peace, I will pay the priest to hold 33 masses for him. Is that enough? I can't give more. As for his money, my mother and I don't want a penny—"

"Why are you doing this?" Xiao Yao didn't understand, and subconsciously tried to persuade him, "Who would be so hard on money? If you don't take the money, wouldn't you be a fool?"

Yu Luying looked at him deeply.

"What I mean is, this is not ill-gotten gains, this is what you deserve," Xiao Yao explained.

"There is no right or wrong. Who says that the money of the elderly must be given to their sons and grandchildren?"

"You are ready to fulfill your responsibilities and obligations, and then give up your rights just to save face. Who are you trying to show off to?" Xiao Yao was also a little anxious: "Why did you inherit their beliefs?"

“That’s my mother’s belief.”

"The happiest person for you to do this is your uncle," Xiao Yao said, "You can take all the family property for yourself and give it to your little sister, the lamb, to eat as much as she wants. He will be laughing to death behind your back."

"Xiao Yao, that's enough," Yu Luying said angrily again, "What does this have to do with you?"

Xiao Yao: "Your business is my business!"

Yu Luying: "My business is just my business!"

Seeing that the girl was getting a little excited, Xiao Yao closed his mouth and considered whether to change the subject first.

"However, your little sister is quite nice," Xiao Yao said, "unlike her father, she actually came to persuade you..."

"Xiao Yao, let me tell you something," Yu Luying raised her head abruptly, and did not respond to his words. She just kept talking to herself, "My mother has been self-reliant for so many years, and she has lived a good life. She has also raised me to this age. I also have the confidence and ability to be self-reliant in the future. If you really plan to marry me, although my family cannot make you rich like the Shen family, I will definitely not hold you back."

"..." Xiao Yao opened his mouth in astonishment and forgot to close it: "I just want to fight for your interests, is that wrong?"

"Why do you care?" Yu Luying said, "You're not going to eat up all the free food at Shen Jie's place because you're tired of eating up all the free food at Shen Jie's place, so you're going to eat at my place instead?"

Yu Luying said this in a half-joking tone, but once the words came out of her mouth, she couldn't hear them herself. In addition, when she saw Xiao Yao's face suddenly darken, she immediately regretted it, thinking that she had spoken without restraint and made an inappropriate joke.

Her remedy was to hook her arms around Xiao Yao's neck and throw herself into his arms before he got angry, trying hard to disguise what she had just said as acting coquettish.

Since she gave him a way out, Xiao Yao also went along with it: "Yes, I not only want to eat your soft rice, but also eat your... everything, eat you all. Will you give it to me?"

"I... I'm afraid of pain," Yu Luying buried her head deeply in Xiao Yao's arms: "But if it's you... is it okay?"

Xiao Yao: “?”

He was still thinking about what this sentence meant when he heard the sound of a branch being stepped on and broken behind him.

Yu Luying looked up, patted his shoulder, and broke free from his arms.

Xiao Yao turned his head and saw a small black shadow standing there, and his heart suddenly sank.

"Sorry for disturbing you." The man uttered these three words and turned away.

"Wait a minute!" Xiao Yao rolled and crawled to his feet, staggering in the direction of the fleeing black shadow.

Of course Shen Jie couldn't outrun Xiao Yao. There was only one path in the reed field. She was careful with her feathers and didn't want to jump into the field. Soon, Xiao Yao grabbed her wrist from behind.

Shen Jie subconsciously tried to shake it off, but failed. She turned around and punched Xiao Yao in the face, but her fist was caught in Xiao Yao's palm.

The girl struggled a few times but couldn't get free: "Let go!"

Xiao Yao didn't let go.

"I'll count to three! One, two--"

Xiao Yao said: "Why are you running around in the middle of the night?"

"You asked me to go out and watch the stars in the middle of the night. I finally found them after a lot of hard work, but your last show hasn't even finished yet?" Shen Jie asked angrily, "Can Xiao Yao improve his time management skills?"

"It's not that the last game wasn't over yet," Xiao Yao explained, "I had planned for the three of us to go together tonight—"

"You should have told me earlier. I wouldn't have come if you had told me earlier." Shen Jie said.

"I know," Xiao Yao said sincerely, "so I couldn't tell you earlier."

Shen Jie: "..."

The girl glared at the boy angrily, then suddenly took a step forward and threw a straight punch.

Xiao Yao was careless this time and did not dodge, so he was hit hard in the chest, causing a sharp pain.

"One day, you two were together all day," Shen Jie said in a low voice, "You asked me to watch the stars together at night. I was quite happy at first - I didn't want to come, I felt like I was doing something sneaky - but you wanted to bring her along. Can't you be apart for even a moment? I don't even have any time to be alone with you, right?"

The girl realized that her last sentence still exposed her inner needs. She became more and more embarrassed and angry, and even her eyes turned red.

"No, Shen Jie, it's just the two of us—" Yu Luying slowly walked over, holding her chest. Her appearance reminded Shen Jie of Xizi holding her heart: "It's just that I have something to tell you."

"What?" Shen Jie raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you telling me that the symbiotic distance between the two of you has now been shortened to five meters?"

"Shen Jie, don't be angry," Xiao Yao advised, "Calm down. I invited you here just to have a good talk."

Shen Jie took a deep breath, exhaled, and then took another deep breath.

"Okay, I'm calm now," Shen Jie said, "Let's talk."

Xiao Yao and Yu Luying looked at each other, wondering whether Shen Jie should choose this time when she was so angry.

"Talk?" Seeing the two of them looking at each other without saying anything, Shen Jie raised her eyebrows again and shouted, "Don't you want to talk?"

Xiao Yao pulled Yu Luying's sleeve and nodded at her.

Yu Luying crossed her fingers, took a step forward, and stared at Shen Jie in a daze.

Then, she started to roll up her hair ends - she rolled the ends of her hair around her index finger and then released it.

Shen Jie: “……?”

"Shen Jie, I'm sorry!" Yu Luying said these five words as if she had finally made up her mind, and then bowed to her 90 degrees.

"?" This sudden action startled Shen Jie, and then an inexplicable, absurd, and unreasonable panic surged into her heart.

Dear readers, please imagine that one day you are working peacefully, and suddenly the HR asks you to meet her. When you arrive at the HR's office, her attitude is unusually polite and cautious, and she talks to you in a roundabout way. You will inevitably become nervous, worrying that something bad is about to happen to you.

Shen Jie was feeling similarly nervous at this moment. What she suddenly thought of was - could it be that Xiao Yao had decided to marry Yu Luying in the future, and the two of them had teamed up to conspire to get rid of her, so they called her over now to confront her?

Ever since Xiao Yao and she moved to Meiyu's house, he has been avoiding close contact with her, and even actively rejected her... Could it be that the root of the problem was actually here? Was this a sign?

So that's why there's this 90-degree bow and "I'm sorry" at the beginning?

This thought only flashed through her mind for two seconds, no, one second, and was quickly rejected and even ridiculed by her reason.

However, the feeling of uneasiness brought about by this lack of confidence always lingers in the girl's heart.

Before today, Shen Jie had never thought about it in this direction, not even hypothesized it - because she would never think in that direction.

I...what's wrong with me today? Shen Jie thought.

She tried her best to adjust herself and said to Yu Luying calmly, "What's wrong, Yu Luying?"

Chapter 289 The first kiss of three people

2023-08-09

Shen Jie tried her best to adjust her state and said to Yu Luying in a calm tone: "What's wrong, Yu Luying?"

Yu Luying moved her lips twice again and stammered silently.

Shen Jie: “?”

She looked at Yu Luying, then at Xiao Yao, and made up her mind that if she heard the word "break up" or "leave" from this kid's mouth today, she would pack up these two bastards... these two people and sink them into the sea.

Show them what a Bloody Mary is.

But if you think about it carefully, with Xiao Yao's current martial arts skills... plus his absolute advantage in height and weight, it would be strange if he could win.

While Shen Jie was daydreaming, Xiao Yao pinched his waist again, and Yu Luying reacted like a spring: "That's right, I'm sorry about what happened last time. I was wrong. Let's make peace."

Shen Jie: “……?”

Then, Yu Luying lowered her head and added in a low voice: "...Is it okay?"

During this process, Xiao Yao observed Shen Jie's reaction from beginning to end.

When Yu Luying said "I'm sorry" for the first time (at the end of the previous chapter), the look on Shen Jie's face was first surprise, then... Xiao Yao was not sure, but it looked like nervous and scared, and then a trace of anger flashed across her face.

Then, she began to look at Xiao Yao and then at Yu Luying.

And when Yu Luying said the five words "Let's make peace", Shen Jie was shocked again, then she let out a long breath, and her shoulders and state relaxed - in short, it was like she was relieved.

After she breathed a sigh of relief, she twitched her little nose in confusion, and then began to look at Xiao Yao and Yu Luying alternately.

Xiao Yao & Yu Luying: “?”
