Chen Yu’s eyes rounded. She looked at Mayor Chen with a face full of grievances, and said very seriously, “How am I talking nonsense?”
“You…” Mayor Chen’s heart ached even more when he saw his daughter’s aggrieved steamed stuffed bun face. “Go and change your clothes first. Lou Ming and I will chat for a while alone.”
“I want to listen too.” Chen Yu shook her head.
“Shishi, go freshen up first. You don’t look pretty when you’re in such a mess,” Mother Chen also advised.
“Third Brother won’t mind it,” Chen Yu said confidently, “Isn’t that right, Third Brother?”
“Mm.” Lou Ming smiled and nodded, while adding, “But I’ll be distressed if you’re hungry. Go freshen up first, then go eat breakfast.”
Chen Yu had just woken up and definitely hadn’t eaten breakfast.
“Okay.” 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, “Uncle Chen, what do you have to ask me?”
Mayor Chen used to admire Lou Ming, but now seeing that this kid obviously tricked his daughter, he was unhappy: “You came to our house early in the morning with guards, carrying guns, and wearing military uniforms. Is it to show off your strength?”
“Jianxun?” Mother Chen felt that her husband seemed to have gone a bit too far and couldn’t help but remind him.
Mayor Chen was angry at the moment and simply ignored her. Hmph, her parents couldn’t even order her around, yet this kid let her go upstairs with just a few words.
“Uncle Chen, you misunderstood.” Lou Ming explained, “The 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 it’s my first visit, I should at least be formal.
At least be formal? You’ve gone beyond a little. I guess you also dress the same whenever you go and meet the president.
“I see. At first I thought you had come to propose marriage.” Mother Chen couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
Mayor Chen and Chen Yang glanced at each other. Right? Didn’t all soldiers from the military department like to wear military uniforms and propose marriage at others’ homes?
The two men turned their heads. Their gazes were so scorching as if they wanted to burn two holes in Lou Ming’s body.
“Aunt Chen must be joking. If we’re talking about marriage proposals, I naturally won’t come so simply,” Lou Ming politely returned.
You really thought about it? Did I agree to your relationship? (Crab: Others have already agreed.)
“So… How did you two…s-start? Who chased who?” Mother Chen asked curiously.
Father Chen/ Chen Yang: 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, “I liked Shishi since the first time I saw her, and I always felt inexplicably happy.”
Father Chen/ Chen Yang: As expected, this kid deceived Shishi.
Mother Chen’s eyes lit up: “So you courted Shishi first?
When Lou Ming was about to acquiesce, Chen Yu’s voice suddenly came from upstairs, “I was the one who pursued Third Brother first.”
Pardon??
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.
“Shishi ah, you first… you pursued Lou Ming?” Mother Chen didn’t quite believe it. Her daughter was obviously not enlightened.
“Yeah.” Chen Yu squeezed in between her elder brother and Lou Ming.
“You… How old are you? You didn’t even know what you liked before. How could you take the initiative to pursue…” Mayor Chen could no longer continue.
“I took responsibility at first, but later I found out that I like him.” Chen Yu effortlessly dropped a deep-water torpedo.
“Responsible!!!!!” 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 couldn’t help but reach out and hold his forehead. Things turned out to be more chaotic.
“Shishi ah, y-you…” Even Mother Chen couldn’t accept it.
“Why are you guys so surprised? Isn’t that what you said? Forcibly kissing someone is taking advantage of the other person. A good man should be responsible for the girl.” Chen Yu said, “I thought since all men and women are equal nowadays, I should also be responsible for Third Brother.”
Fortunately, fortunately, it was only a forced kiss.
No, we said that? When did we say that?
“I’ve made up my mind. When I reach the age of 20, I’ll marry Third Brother and have several babies. I haven’t figured out how many just yet.” Chen Yu was already planning.
Twenty years old?
Marry?
How many babies?
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 sister’s ridiculous idea and said on impulse, “I’m your elder brother, and I’m not married yet. You’re not allowed to get married.”
Mayor Chen suddenly felt less pain in his heart and looked approvingly at his rather resourceful son.
“We’re not in a feudal society now. Your trick does not work.” Chen Yu didn’t fall for it.
When Lou Ming saw that Chen Yu was about to drive the Chen family crazy, he could only interject, “Uncle 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 not…”
“Third Brother, does your family not like me?” Chen Yu heard Lou Ming’s words and was immediately filled with shock. Yes, she had not yet met his parents as his girlfriend.
“Does your family not like Shishi?” Mayor Chen was instantly angered. Your son hooked up with my daughter yet you dared not like her.
“If Uncle Lou doesn’t agree, are you not going to marry me?” Chen Yu asked sadly.
“Do you want to discard her after dallying with her?” 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, “As for when to get married, I will listen to Shishi.”
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 Chen’s anger only eased a bit following Lou Ming’s words. Immediately after, another thought popped out of their mind: Weren’t 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.
