Chapter 55 She Changed Her Mind

"coming!"

Before Yue Hua could say anything, he was pulled forward by the young man beside him: "Uncle, you are still strong and healthy, and you are in better shape than young people. We can't catch up with you even if we walk."

"You boy!"

The uncle was amused and scolded him: "You are from the Duke's Mansion, you are embarrassing your grandfather!"

Xiao Yan didn't care either, instead he said: "How can I be blamed for this? It's obviously my father's fault. If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked."

Yue Xianhua was speechless after hearing this. She looked at her uncle again, but he did not refute her. Instead, he talked about other things with Xiao Yan.

Yue Xianhua thought quickly and figured out the reason soon: perhaps Xiao Yan's uncle's family was also dissatisfied with Master Xiao's brother-in-law.

Xiao Yan probably said this to please his uncle.

While they were daydreaming, they had already arrived at the reception hall. The capable aunt was indeed there directing the maids to serve the dishes. When she saw them come in, she smiled:
"Finally you're here. After you wash your hands, you can eat. These are all the dishes you loved when you were a child. Let's see if the taste has changed."

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "With my aunt here, it will definitely not change. I know you love me the most."

"Only you can talk."

His aunt was amused by him. When she glanced at Yue Yanhua who was silent beside her, her smile remained unchanged, but her eyes became duller. "I don't know what Yan's wife likes to eat, so I prepared some food that is said to be popular in Beijing. Try it and see if you like it."

Yue Xianhua was suddenly called upon and was slightly stunned. He thanked the man with impeccable etiquette, but with a sense of alienation.

The aunt took one look and then looked away, going to teach her husband a lesson.

Yue Xianhua glanced at the dishes on the table and knew at a glance that her aunt had really put a lot of effort into entertaining her "niece-in-law".

She blinked her long eyelashes and said nothing.

Xiao Yan seemed to have a really good relationship with his uncle's family. He didn't follow the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. Most of the time, the couple would ask about his life in the past year and about his marriage.

"You were a little too hasty in getting married. I didn't even have time to deliver the things I promised to give you." My uncle sighed, with regret in his eyes.

Xiao Yan laughed and said, "There's nothing I can do. If I hadn't acted quickly, I would have lost my wife."

This sentence instantly attracted the attention of the couple: "What do you mean?"

However, he just chuckled and did not answer, instead he asked about the situation of his cousins.

The uncle was kept on suspense by him. If it weren't for his niece-in-law, he would have wanted to beat him up, but he managed to hold himself back.

Yue Xianhua tightened her fingers holding the chopsticks. She didn't expect that he could say it so generously. She felt complicated for a moment.

"Don't just eat, try the food."

His aunt suddenly spoke, and it was not until a piece of shrimp was placed in front of him that Yue Xihua realized belatedly that she was talking to him.

When I looked up, I saw my aunt smiling and showing me goodwill in a gentle manner.

Yue Xianhua hesitated for a moment, said thank you, but did not touch the shrimp.

She knew what doing this meant, it would completely offend people.

But it doesn’t matter. It’s better to offend them sooner rather than later.

When she came, the couple's faces turned cold, and Xiao Yan's face turned cold as well. A cold "huh" came from his ear, and Yue Yanhua's cheeks became hot, but he still kept his back stiff and didn't raise his head.

"Oh, why is my aunt so partial to me? She won't even pick any food for me."

Xiao Yan pretended to be aggrieved and spoke, then picked up the shrimp and ate it himself.

Yue Xianhua subconsciously looked up at him. The young man still had a smiling face and didn't look angry at all.

She bit her lip and wanted to put down her bowl and chopsticks and leave the table directly to embarrass everyone and ruin this meeting.

But in the end, thinking that this man had never done anything wrong to her, she endured it.

"I have never liked eating shrimp since I was a child. I didn't do it on purpose. Please don't be angry, aunt."

The girl spoke softly, looked at the sulking woman opposite her sincerely, and then used the serving chopsticks to pick up another dish for her:

"This is a spring dish commonly eaten in the capital. Aunt, please try it."

The silent little girl suddenly spoke, which stunned her aunt who was already angry.

After listening to her gentle explanation and seeing her personally picking up food for herself, my aunt's dissatisfaction dissipated a lot and she believed what she had just said.

Xiao Yan, who was standing aside, looked at the girl beside him with deep eyes. He had just been ready to cover for her, but in the end...

How can it change so suddenly?
Even someone as smart as Xiao Yan couldn't grasp his wife's thoughts for a moment, but he was somewhat happy to see that she was willing to show kindness to his uncle and aunt.

With her concession, the couple, who were already very tolerant of their nephew and his wife, naturally had no objections.

So the meal ended in harmony.
-
"It's getting late. Go to your rooms first. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, I can change it for you while it's still light."

The aunt said with a smile, and called a clever little girl with a round face to lead the way for the two of them.

Yue Xianhua followed Xiao Yan to express his gratitude and then left.

As soon as the others left, the aunt's face suddenly darkened: "I'm afraid this girl doesn't really want to live with Yan Ge'er. She is pretty, except... I have never seen such a pretty girl, but her heart is not with Yan Ge'er at all."

My uncle didn't say anything, but his eyes clearly showed his approval: "Don't worry, when Brother Yan comes over, we can ask him privately what's going on. I felt something was wrong with this marriage from the beginning."

My aunt looked at him and said, "Then let's wait until someone comes over."
-
On the other hand, Yue Hua, who was said to be "not living sincerely", was also "questioned":
"I thought you would keep a cold face."

Xiao Yan spoke so bluntly that Yue Yanhua's body stiffened for a moment. She looked up at him:
"You're angry, aren't you?"

Xiao Yan lowered his head: "What do you think?"

Yue Xianhua looked him in the eyes and spoke word by word, "You are angry. Because you care about your uncle and aunt and regard them as your relatives, so my attitude just now hurt them, and that's why you feel angry."

Xiao Yan didn't say anything, but his cold eyes said it all.

"But Xiao Yan,"

Yue Xianhua's eyes finally moved away from his impeccable face: "You married someone who doesn't love you, so you should be mentally prepared. Because he doesn't love you, he won't care about you, nor will he be good to your relatives. He may even deliberately ignore you and be mean to you, making you lose face...hiss——"

Her wrist hurt and she was pulled over. The man's suppressed hot breath hit her ear:

"Since you already have a method, why don't you stick to it? Maybe I will really divorce you in anger?"

 Nong Nong is now in the most insecure stage. She was suddenly abandoned by her most trusted "relative" lover. Although she is smart and sensible, she is just a teenage girl. She is a little cynical and it is normal for her to be covered with thorns. Facing the male protagonist's kindness, she is touched but more cautious and suspicious. Take it slow. It's not that easy to chase your wife, let alone the moon in the sky_(:зゝ∠)_
