After kicking out my ex-husband, his brother and I got back together.

Chapter 43 I’m afraid she’ll fly away
Duan Xiaowu was worried that Chang Rong would expose his secrets in front of old man Duan, and was also afraid that his cunning old man would make things difficult for him.

I wanted to follow him immediately.

As a result, Aunt Zhang leaned out and called out: "Xiao Wu, I've washed the fruit. You can bring it to Xiao Chang."

There was no other way, so Duan Xiaowu had to go to the kitchen to get some fruit.

As soon as the person entered, Aunt Zhang teased and asked jokingly: "Why does this little Chang look familiar to me? Isn't he the grandson of Mr. Chang next door?"

Duan Xiaowu took the fruit plate from her hand and just smiled without answering.

Aunt Zhang was so anxious that she kept asking, "Really? Yes! It looks like he is that child to me."

Duan Xiaowu stuffed a prune into her mouth, her cheeks bulging, and she blinked at her.

"you guess."

After that, he picked up the fruit plate and ran out of the kitchen in a hurry.

Aunt Zhang was left without an answer, scratching her head in the kitchen alone.

Duan Xiaowu walked all the way to the tea room, the smile on her face not dissipating.

Chang Rong was helping Old Man Duan taste Pu'er tea, and couldn't help but glance at her when he saw her coming in.

After Duan Xiaowu sat next to him, she leaned over slightly and asked in a low voice: "What are you laughing at? You are smiling so happily."

Duan Xiaowu squinted his eyes and shook his head, pushing the fruit in front of him.

Probably because he saw the close posture between the two of them just now, Duan Chengxiong, who was sitting across the tea table, suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling of awkwardness in his heart.

He coughed slightly in displeasure and interrupted the two of them.

"Our genuine tea is here, why should we eat it with fruit?"

Duan Xiaowu glanced at his face and had a good idea of ​​the old man's mental activities.

She stretched out her fair and slender arms, grabbed another strawberry and stuffed it into her mouth.

"It's been a long time since Ren Changrong came to our house. He can't even bear to part with a few fruits. Is this how your Duan family treats guests?"

Duan Chengxiong's face was slightly stiff, and his lips trembled twice before trying to explain: "I'm not..."

But then I thought about it, it was the first time for him as a father to meet his son-in-law, and he would have to accompany him no matter what he did. What kind of explanation did he need to explain!
In this way, he immediately stopped talking and even deliberately corrected his tone.

The father and daughter were about to argue again.

Chang Rong immediately changed the subject, "The raw milk is refreshing and paired with some fresh fruits, it has a unique flavor."

Duan Chengxiong was very considerate to him and immediately took a prune and ate it.

The moment he entered, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's true! The smell of tea has changed."

Duan Xiaowu didn't want to listen to them, so she took out her mobile phone and started checking her work emails.

Chang Rong had a smooth chat with Old Man Duan. Until Xu Rou came over to call for dinner, Old Man Duan was still a little reluctant to leave.

At the dinner table, Old Man Duan was still talking to Chang Rong about the feasibility of AI robot intelligence.

Xu Rou gently stroked her back before she stopped talking.

He raised the red wine glass in his hand and faced Chang Rong and Duan Xiaowu.

"You two have known each other since you were young, and your two families know each other well. It would be a good thing for you to get together. But you should not hide it from the parents of both families, and just get married without even discussing it."

Duan Xiaowu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that what was supposed to come finally came.

She quickly turned sideways, blocking Chang Rongxu from behind, and took the initiative to face Old Man Duan's attack.

"If you want to blame this, blame me. It's your daughter and I hate getting married so much. I'm afraid that such a good marriage partner will be thrown away two hours later."

She said this without blushing or heart beating.

Duan Chengxiong's last words were all stuck in his throat.

He glared at Duan Xiaowu with some hatred.

I secretly cursed in my heart that this girl is too old to help others. Even if she pretends to be in this situation, she should pretend twice.

Otherwise, let her son-in-law look at her and the Duan family how she thinks. "You, why are you so..." The words "self-contemptuous" were still not uttered.

Chang Rong, who was sitting aside, suddenly grabbed Duan Xiaowu's hand, looked at Duan Chengxiong and said, "Uncle Duan, don't listen to Xiaowu's nonsense. I heard in Europe that she was planning to marry someone else. Came back overnight."

As he spoke, his eyes darkened a bit.

He lowered his voice and continued: "I'm afraid she'll fly away."

He spoke sincerely, and Duan Chengxiong and Xu Rou on the other side of the table looked at each other.

Obviously very satisfied.

Duan Chengxiong hesitated for a moment, and finally took the initiative to bring up Cheng Jiujia's matter.

"Do you know about the fact that her marriage was regretted earlier?"

Chang Rong nodded, with a look of joy on his face.

"Well, luckily she regretted her marriage, otherwise we both might have missed it in this life."

The expression on his face was happy and innocent, but he secretly squeezed Duan Xiaowu's hand harder.

Duan Xiaowu's hand hurt from being pinched by him.

Maybe it was to resist, or maybe it was to express admiration for his superb acting skills.

Duan Xiaowu also used some force to pinch him back.

But the disparity in gender and strength is very obvious, and revenge often results in a stronger grip.

Duan Xiaowu was so angry that she had to stretch out her other hand to pinch the flesh on his arm.

Chang Rong glanced at her painfully, and then loosened his grip on her.

This dinner was much calmer and more peaceful than expected.

During the dinner, Duan Chengxiong asked about Chang Rong's parents, but did not take the initiative to ask about meeting his grandfather.

Instead, Chang Rong took the initiative to speak: "My mother passed away two years ago. I mentioned my marriage to my grandfather a while ago, and he has already asked his secretary to arrange time to try to meet you before the wedding."

He didn't mention his father, and the implication was clear.

Duan Chengxiong never thought that he would be able to meet his grandfather.

After all, the old man's current status is such that even if his own family members want to see him, they have to report it in advance.

Since Chang Rong has already opened his mouth, there is no reason for him not to cooperate.

"Okay, let's wait until you decide the time."

"If it's inconvenient for him, we can go to Kyoto." Duan Chengxiong added.

"It shouldn't be necessary. He said he would take care of it."

At this point, the meal is almost coming to an end.

After dinner, Duan Chengxiong played two games of chess with Chang Rong.

Duan Xiaowu sat and watched for a while, and found that with the old man's poor skills, it was not easy for Chang Rong to pretend to be on par with him while also controlling the frequency of losing seven and winning three.

Seeing that it was getting late, Duan Xiaowu urged the two of them anxiously.

"We should go back after playing this game." She was afraid that if it was too late, the two of them would stay in the old house for a night party.

As a result, the old man kept talking about the last set, and the result was one set after another, and the time was pushed to 10:30.

If Xu Rou hadn't come to tell him to take medicine, he would still be reluctant to play the chess table.

After being dragged away by Old Man Duan, when the two of them went out to prepare for the return trip, the wind had already started to blow outside.

Emergency warnings were also issued on TV.

It is said that there will be strong winds of level 23 tonight, and there will be moderate to heavy rain around 00:[-] at night.

As a result, Duan Xiaowu and Chang Rong couldn't leave at all.
