The following day, An Xiaxia sprawled on the bed and pressed her palms to her sore waist muscles .
That goddamn scheming man! I curse you!
She went downstairs and found two unwelcome guests .
Li Fanxing and Li Canxing were here .
The Li sisters’ faces turned livid when they saw her .
An Xiaxia was living in the old Sheng family home!
“Yize, Xiaxia, come here . ” Grandma Sheng beckoned them over .
Sheng Yize calmly held An Xiaxia by her hand and went over .
“Fanxing and Canxing are studying in Qixia as well? You’re all schoolmates, then . ” Grandma Sheng smiled and rubbed An Xiaxia’s little head affectionately .
She liked her granddaughter-in-law more each day .
She was so adorable that she wanted her to marry Sheng Yize today!
An Xiaxia forced a smile . “That’s right . Canxing is in the same class as us . ”
They were still talking when footsteps came from outside, accompanied by a familiar careless tone . “Hey, Grandpa Sheng, Grandma Sheng, I’m here to wish you an early Happy Chinese New Year!”
“Yanxi, you’re here…” Grandma Sheng was pleasantly surprised . Qi Yanxi was laughing wholeheartedly, but he froze as soon as he saw his fellow guests in the room .
After exchanging some pleasantries with Grandma Sheng, he went up to An Xiaxia and mocked her in a low voice, “Why, you and your rivals in love can almost start a round of mahjong here . ”
An Xiaxia: Shut up!
Li Fanxing smiled at him . “Hello, Yanxi . ”
Grandma Sheng didn’t know they had broken up and teased them, “When are you getting engaged? Why, do I see a shy smile there?”
Li Fanxing lowered her head, looking as if she was too shy to speak . However, Qi Yanxi explained in a cold voice, “Grandma Sheng, we’re not together anymore . ”
Grandma Sheng knew better than to make a comment . Li Fanxing darted a look at Sheng Yize, then shifted her gaze to Qi Yanxi . She seemed to have made a decision and said in a timid voice, “Yanxi, can we talk?”
Qi Yanxi sneered inside . However, he kept his crooked smile on . “Sure . ”
If she wanted to play, he would see it through!
The two then went to the manor at the back . An Xiaxia found it too boring to stay inside, so Sheng Yize took her out to have some fresh air .
Li Canxing kept her impassive face on and followed them in silence .
The old Sheng family home had a spacious garden, which had an open pool in it . The two were strolling around and holding hands when An Xiaxia gave Sheng Yize a nudge . “Do you feel like we’ve become an old couple already? Isn’t taking a walk something only middle-aged couples do?”
Sheng Yize raised an eyebrow . “Oh? Mrs . Sheng, are you that eager to get married?”
Pfft —
“It’s just a metaphor! I’m not saying we’re really a married couple!” An Xiaxia retorted, cheeks flushing .
A faint smile crept onto Sheng Yize’s face and he said casually, “Let’s hold hands like this for the rest of our lives .
“We’ll buy a big house . It doesn’t have to be in a busy area, but preferably somewhere quiet . I like both sons and daughters . Cats scare you, so let’s get a dog . We’ll grow some flowers . Oh, I know how to fish, too . So we should live somewhere near a river . I’ll cook the fish I catch for you . ”
His tone was rather bland, but An Xiaxia was greatly moved by that short speech .
It was nothing like those enthusiastic and solemn vows . Despite his indifferent tone, he had made the firmest commitment!
She had always been part of the future he had planned .
She couldn’t help but be moved by this .
There was a crack from a foot stepping on a dry twig .
The atmosphere was ruined right away .
An Xiaxia turned around . Li Canxing was standing a few steps away, staring at them with a gloomy face .
