Chen Yuâs eyes rounded. She looked at Mayor Chen with a face full of grievances, and said very seriously, âHow am I talking nonsense?â
âYouâŚâ Mayor Chenâs heart ached even more when he saw his daughterâs aggrieved steamed stuffed bun face. âGo and change your clothes first. Lou Ming and I will chat for a while alone.â
âI want to listen too.â Chen Yu shook her head.
âShishi, go freshen up first. You donât look pretty when youâre in such a mess,â Mother Chen also advised.
âThird Brother wonât mind it,â Chen Yu said confidently, âIsnât that right, Third Brother?â
âMm.â Lou Ming smiled and nodded, while adding, âBut Iâll be distressed if youâre hungry. Go freshen up first, then go eat breakfast.â
Chen Yu had just woken up and definitely hadnât eaten breakfast.
âOkay.â Chen Yu obediently stood up and stomped back upstairs.
The three Chen family members once again looked at Lou Ming with complicated expressions.
Lou Ming smiled helplessly, âUncle Chen, what do you have to ask me?â
Mayor Chen used to admire Lou Ming, but now seeing that this kid obviously tricked his daughter, he was unhappy: âYou came to our house early in the morning with guards, carrying guns, and wearing military uniforms. Is it to show off your strength?â
âJianxun?â Mother Chen felt that her husband seemed to have gone a bit too far and couldnât help but remind him.
Mayor Chen was angry at the moment and simply ignored her. Hmph, her parents couldnât even order her around, yet this kid let her go upstairs with just a few words.
âUncle Chen, you misunderstood.â Lou Ming explained, âThe guards are arranged by my father. Once I go out, no matter where I am going, my guards must be accompanied by guns. As for wearing a military uniform, I think that since itâs my first visit, I should at least be formal.
At least be formal? Youâve gone beyond a little. I guess you also dress the same whenever you go and meet the president.
âI see. At first I thought you had come to propose marriage.â Mother Chen couldnât help but let out a sigh of relief.
Mayor Chen and Chen Yang glanced at each other. Right? Didnât all soldiers from the military department like to wear military uniforms and propose marriage at othersâ homes?
The two men turned their heads. Their gazes were so scorching as if they wanted to burn two holes in Lou Mingâs body.
âAunt Chen must be joking. If weâre talking about marriage proposals, I naturally wonât come so simply,â Lou Ming politely returned.
You really thought about it? Did I agree to your relationship? (Crab: Others have already agreed.)
âSo⌠How did you twoâŚs-start? Who chased who?â Mother Chen asked curiously.
Father Chen/ Chen Yang:Â It must be this kid who cheated Shishi.
Lou Ming hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer. After mulling over it for a second, he replied, âI liked Shishi since the first time I saw her, and I always felt inexplicably happy.â
Father Chen/ Chen Yang:Â As expected, this kid deceived Shishi.
Mother Chenâs eyes lit up: âSo you courted Shishi first?
When Lou Ming was about to acquiesce, Chen Yuâs voice suddenly came from upstairs, âI was the one who pursued Third Brother first.â
The three Chen family members collectively turned their heads, only to find that Chen Yu had already changed her clothes. There were even water droplets on her face that had not been dried after she washed her face, like a tender lychee that had been peeled off. Then she jumped down from the second floor.
âShishi ah, you first⌠you pursued Lou Ming?â Mother Chen didnât quite believe it. Her daughter was obviously not enlightened.
âYeah.â Chen Yu squeezed in between her elder brother and Lou Ming.
âYou⌠How old are you? You didnât even know what you liked before. How could you take the initiative to pursueâŚâ Mayor Chen could no longer continue.
âI took responsibility at first, but later I found out that I like him.â Chen Yu effortlessly dropped a deep-water torpedo.
âResponsible!!!!!â The same men, Mayor Chen and Chen Yang jumped up from the sofa in a moment of shock. The look they gave Lou Ming could have killed someone.
Lou Ming couldnât help but reach out and hold his forehead. Things turned out to be more chaotic.
âShishi ah, y-youâŚâ Even Mother Chen couldnât accept it.
âWhy are you guys so surprised? Isnât that what you said? Forcibly kissing someone is taking advantage of the other person. A good man should be responsible for the girl.â Chen Yu said, âI thought since all men and women are equal nowadays, I should also be responsible for Third Brother.â
Fortunately, fortunately, it was only a forced kiss.
No, we said that? When did we say that?
âIâve made up my mind. When I reach the age of 20, Iâll marry Third Brother and have several babies. I havenât figured out how many just yet.â Chen Yu was already planning.
Mayor Chen covered his chest and thought he might have a heart attack.
Mother Chen covered her mouth, unable to believe what she had just heard?
Chen Yang just wanted to dispel his sisterâs ridiculous idea and said on impulse, âIâm your elder brother, and Iâm not married yet. Youâre not allowed to get married.â
Mayor Chen suddenly felt less pain in his heart and looked approvingly at his rather resourceful son.
âWeâre not in a feudal society now. Your trick does not work.â Chen Yu didnât fall for it.
When Lou Ming saw that Chen Yu was about to drive the Chen family crazy, he could only interject, âUncle Chen, Aunt Chen, I just want to come here today to pay you a formal visit, and then tell you that I truly like Shishi. As for marriage matters, naturally we have to seek the joint consent of both families. I will notâŚâ
âThird Brother, does your family not like me?â Chen Yu heard Lou Mingâs words and was immediately filled with shock. Yes, she had not yet met his parents as his girlfriend.
âDoes your family not like Shishi?â Mayor Chen was instantly angered. Your son hooked up with my daughter yet you dared not like her.
âIf Uncle Lou doesnât agree, are you not going to marry me?â Chen Yu asked sadly.
âDo you want to discard her after dallying with her?â Chen Yang put his hand directly on the gun attached to his waist.
I just wanted to say that I would not marry Shishi without your consent, but it seems that you all agree. Lou Ming shook his head and readily went with a wise thought, âAs for when to get married, I will listen to Shishi.â
Chen Yu put her mind at ease and ate happily.
Lou Ming was also happy and kept serving his future wife.
Father Chen and Brother Chenâs anger only eased a bit following Lou Mingâs words. Immediately after, another thought popped out of their mind:Â Werenât we opposing the marriage? How did it turn out as if they were urging them to get married?
Two blockheads, Mother Chen really disdained giving them another glance.
