Just as Chen Zilang felt the full-on attack from his straight-A older sister, the doorbell rang, and he escaped the double onslaught of his sister and mother like a man set free, running to open the door.
âAi Ma! Brother Lang is here! Hurry, Brother Lang, please control your daughter-in-law! Sheâs bullying me.â
Chen Zilang now saw Yu Minglang as a close family member.
âWhere is your sister?â Yu Minglang had been speeding all the way, not knowing whether he had violated any rules, and was inexplicably nervous but also had a strong sense of anticipation, which was almost sacred in its intensity.
Xiao Qianâs teasing was truly astonishing!
Teasing Yu Minglangâs heart on fire, he couldnât control the fervor that had rushed over.
Chen Zilangâs keen sixth sense told him that not only was his older sister acting strangely, but even Brother Lang wasnât quite right!
If this were in a comic, flames would be drawn all around Yu Minglangâs body. The intense heat emanating from him was enough to make Chen Zilangâs cat-like body shudderâthis guy was far from being a tiger, barely a cat.
Xiao Qianâs gaze met Yu Minglangâs, instantly smoldering. She immediately read the sweet secret language that only the two of them could understand from his overly passionate eyes.
Yu Xiaoqiang must have seen the message she left for him!
Xiao Qianâs face turned bright red in an instant. Although she had anticipated various scenarios when writing it and expected him to discover it, she still felt a faint shyness when he actually found out.
Jia Xiufang watched as the two locked eyes, their gazes seemingly glued together, unable to break away. Although Yu Minglang hadnât done anything to Xiao Qian, his gaze made Jia Xiufang feel embarrassed on the sidelines.
What were these two kids up to, not even considering the feelings of the bystanders?
âAunt, I want to take Xiao Qian out for some fun. Weâll be back later, but if it gets too late, we might not come back.â
Perhaps it was just Xiao Qianâs imagination, but she felt Yu Minglangâs voice was deeper and more magnetic than usual.
Her blush then deepened even further.
âIâll go put on my coat.â Xiao Qian hurried into the bedroom, locked the door behind her, opened the wardrobe, took out the contents from the bottom bag, and placed them on the bed, quickly removing her outerwear.
She had bought it to suit his tacky taste, so Xiaoqiang should like it, right?
On the small bed, a bright red bra was spread out, along with matching bottoms adorned with shimmering rhinestones under the light.
Tacky Xiaoqiang, red-loving Xiaoqiang, soon-to-be-carnivorous Xiaoqiang, would surely like itâ¦
Xiao Qiang didnât just like it, he was completely consumed by the burning desire, causing him to be restless. The strong, unseen flames were enough to make Chen Zilong hesitant to get too close, as both Brother Lang and his older sister seemed to be up to something.
Chen Zilang kept his distance, stealing a fried chicken piece and squatting against the wall to eat.
Xiao Qian was quick to change, and when she came out, she was already dressed neatly in a red down coat and tight pants. Yu Minglang couldnât take his eyes off her.
Chen Zilong spat out the chicken bone in his mouth and casually teased, âSis, why are you dressed like a bride in the middle of the nightâ¦?â
The unintentional truth from the playboy brother elicited different reactions from the involved parties. Yu Minglang raised his eyebrows and teased Xiao Qian. Thatâs right, if Da Long hadnât mentioned it, he wouldnât have noticed it at all.
His Qian Bao was so adorable, dressed like this, even with the auspicious implications. Tonight, the two would be deeply affectionate, the red outfit setting the perfect atmosphere. It was simply perfection.
Xiao Qian had thought her discreetly planned outfit would only be understood by Yu Minglang, but it turned out he hadnât caught on, and it was the playboy brother who did.
Angrily embarrassed, Xiao Qian shot a murderous glance at Chen Zilong, who was munch-freeing on a fried chicken piece.
âAll you know is eating, youââ
Chen Zilong surrendered, raising his hands in a gesture of defeat.
âSis, I admit defeat. Iâll finish my homework after dinner, alright?â
âMing Lang, stay for dinner. I made some fried chicken pieces.â Jia Xiufang enthusiastically insisted.
âNo, tonight, I want to eatâ¦something even better.â
Xiao Qian, who was putting on her shoes while leaning on the shoe cabinet, twisted her ankle when she heard him say that, and fiercely pinched his back, asking if he had no shame!
Yu Minglang blinked, he was telling the truth!
What could be more delicious than his Qian Bao?
It was time to take the future daughter-in-law âout for a drive to watch the maple forest at nightâ~
After Xiao Qian and Yu Minglang left, Chen Zilong was still puzzled.
âWhat could be more delicious than my momâs fried chicken pieces?â He looked at Jia Xiufang, trying to please her, âMom, your fried chicken is simply unbeatable, second only to the fried meat you make!â
Jia Xiufang proudly raised her head, âDo you think so? The two of them really donât know how to enjoy themselves, not even staying to eat â have some leftover for your sister to try when she comes back.â
âDidnât you hear Brother Lang? They might not come back tonightâMom, where are they going late at night, not coming home? Arenât they cold?â
At Chen Zilongâs age, he didnât have more complicated thoughts. His understanding of ânot returning at nightâ was the all-night internet, all-night movies, all-night games, and so on.
Jia Xiufangâs hand paused, she stuffed a piece of fried chicken into Chen Zilongâs mouth, âEat yours, you talk too much. Have you finished your homework?â
â!!!â What on earth had he done to deserve this!
Once they descended the stairs, Xiao Qian questioned Yu Minglang.
âCanât you have a little more shame?â
In front of her family, he blatantly announced their plans to stay out all night! Was this a bid to reach the heavens?
While she felt sorry for him and didnât want him to hold back all the time, she hadnât expected him to be so shameless in front of her mother!
Yu Minglang grinned, showing his teeth, âIn a little while, Iâll be even more shameless.â
Officially acknowledging their relationship, they were like an engaged couple, and Yu Minglang couldnât stop his happiness.
Xiao Qianâs face flushed with heat, as she walked ahead of him quickly. Although she had initiated this, it still felt incredibly embarrassing at the moment.
Yu Minglang wouldnât let her run away, gripping her hand tightly. She tried to shake him off, but only made him hold her even tighter.
Having already taken the first step, did she still want to run away?
He pulled her into his embrace, holding her and providing her with a comfortable cushion with his own body as they moved.
He felt that he had been holding back a bit too much and overdoing it lately. Even Xiao Mei couldnât stand it, so he couldnât afford to give up any opportunity. He had to perform well, gather his energy and couldnât be careless.
Between the two of them, there was a thin veil of understanding that neither wanted to completely acknowledge. This atmosphere was like the fluffiness of feathers floating in the spring air, caressing their minds, and making their hearts ripple with turmoil. However, the thin veil still separated them, leaving them unable to untangle the sweetness. Even the cold weather seemed to be ignited by their passion.
He leaned in close to her ear, âI will not let you go, my dearest.â
She shot him a glance and said, âWeâll see who canât let go of whom.â
Yu Minglang tightened his grip, his eyes deepening even further.
