Hearing Aunt Lianâs words, the smile on Yuan Longâs face gradually dissipated. He glanced at Yu Shanshan silently, but picked her up from the bed, âCome, letâs go down.â
Yu Shanshan was also depressed, thinking about what happened four years ago, her mood that was flying just now disappeared instantly. But she had to meet Yuan Longâs family, and she had to go down and meet them.
Taking a deep breath, Yu Shanshan forced a smile and took the initiative to hold Yuan Longâs big hand, âLetâs go, let Dudu continue to sleep.â
Seeing that she could still laugh, Yuan Longâs expression was much relieved, and he pulled her downstairs.
There were four more people on the sofa in the hall downstairs, a middle-aged man and woman, and two young girls in their twenties.
Hearing the footsteps of Yuan Long and Yu Shanshan, the four turned their heads at the same time and looked at them. When they saw Yu Shanshan, their expressions changed obviously, with different expressions on their faces.
Yu Shanshan pretended not to see their complicated expressions, followed Yuan Long to the hall, not knowing what to say, and simply bowed her head like a quail-like daughter-in-law.
Yuan Long nodded towards the middle-aged man and woman, âDad, mom.â
Yuan Zhenbang solemnly said, âYeahâ, glanced at Yu Shanshan, opened his mouth, but said nothing in the end.
However, Su Minghua said with a sullen face and unhappy expression: âYou didnât want to tell us about such a big thing such as returning to the imperial capital. If we hadnât heard the rumour and came by ourselves, were you not going to let us know? Do you still have your parents in your eyes!â
Seeing Su Minghua being so angry, Fu Mingyue hurriedly took her arm and whispered: âAuntie, Yuan Long has just returned. It must have been too late to tell you and uncle. If we didnât come, Yuan Long would definitely inform us tomorrow. Donât be angry.
Su Minghuaâs expression improved a bit when Fu Mingyue said this.
Upon seeing this, Fu Mingyue smiled, then turned to look at Yu Shanshan, who had not spoken, she smiled and greeted her actively: âShanshan, itâs been a long time.â
Yu Shanshan didnât care much about her, but in front of everyone, she couldnât directly hurt her feelings, so she pulled the corners of her mouth and returned her with a smile that wasnât a smile.
Yu Shanshanâs perfunctory attitude was too obvious, Fu Mingyue pursed her lips, a little embarrassed.
Yuan Ran, who was sitting next to her, frowned unsatisfactorily when she saw it, gave Yu Shanshan a glance, and took Fu Mingyueâs hand and whispered angrily: âMingyue, why are you polite towards such a person? Leave her alone in the future. â
Yu Shanshan was sitting closer to Yuan Ran. She happened to hear these words, raised her eyes and glared at her. If there was a knife hidden in her eyes, it might have already flown out.
Yuan Ran glared back at her provocatively, then changed her expression, covering her mouth in surprise, and asked Yu Shanshan: âWhy are you now like this? You weigh at least 120kg, right? I almost couldnât recognise you. What did you eat to become so fat?â
Yu Shanshan bit her back molar: You are the one who weighs 120kg!
If there were not so many elders here at the moment, Yu Shanshan would definitely rush to fight her to the end, but Grandpa Yuan and Aunt Yuan were watching. She still wanted to maintain the gentle lady persona for the time being, rushing to start a catfight would affect her image. So she could only endure it. But Yu Shanshan had oppressed triads for many years, and she was not easy to deal with. Although she did not start a catfight, she lowered her head and forced a smile, which was bitter and helpless.
She was like a poor little white flower that had to swallow her grievance in the stomach after being wronged.
Upon seeing this, Fu Mingyue shook Yuan Ranâs arm awkwardly, and reminded her in a low voice, âRan Ran, donât talk nonsense.â
Grandpa Yuan also frowned, and said, âYuan Ran, donât talk too much.â
Yuan Ran pouted and said coquettishly: âOh, grandpa, I donât mean anything else, Iâm just surprised. I didnât expect her to change so much, Iâm just asking.â
Everyone treated her like an ignorant child, so they didnât scold her any more, but Yuan Long looked at her calmly with a cold voice, âYuan Ran, be polite to your sister-in-law from now on! Shut up if you canât speak.â
She was reprimanded by her eldest brother in front of so many people, and he reprimanded her for Yu Shanshan, whom she hated the most. Yuan Ran was very shameless and immediately pointed at Yu Shanshan and said: âShe is not my sister-in-law, I donât admit it.â
âYuan Ran!â Yuan Longâs voice sank completely, âApologize to your sister-in-law.â
Yuan Ran was so angry that her eyes were red, and she stood up from the sofa, âI donât apologize, anyway, she is not my sister-in-law, who wants such a fat person to be my sister-in-law, If you are not ashamed, I am ashamed!â
âSmackââ Before everyone recovered, Yuan Long slapped her, his voice was full of anger, âIf you let me hear this again in the future, donât appear in front of me.â .
Yuan Ran was stunned and looked at her brother in disbelief. She didnât expect that he would hit her. The brother who had allowed herself to take care of him would hit her. This made her unable to accept it, and she cried. âYou hit me for this woman! I donât want a big brother like you!â
Yuan Zhenbang and Su Minghuaâs faces sank when they saw their son hit their daughter. Su Minghua patted the table and stood up, almost unsteady. âYou hit your sister over a trivial matter, what do you want to do! Is there anything you canât tell her properly?â
Seeing that her mother came out to help her, Yuan Ran felt even more wronged, she rushed to hug Su Minghua and cried even louder.
Yuan Ran cried harder and harder. As the proverb says, the crying child has milk. Yu Shanshan was afraid that the scales would fall towards her, and Yuan Long would be criticized, so she secretly pinched her thigh, and all of a sudden her eyes couldnât help but turn red.
Life was like a play, and it all depended on acting.
Yu Shanshan displayed her lifetimeâs skills, and then cried out, crying heartbreakingly and world-shaking. The only drawback was that her tears were not enough, so she could only cover her face and pretend to be distraught. Then she ran upstairs while crying.
She was looking for a place to digest her grief.
The expressions of everyone downstairs ran towards the room on the second floor. Yu Shanshan immediately locked the door of the room, wiped away her few tears, and threw herself on the bed and exhaled heavily.
Although she had heard many people calling her a fat person, although she was pretending to cry just now, she was not completely not angry. She had always hated other people using the word âfattyâ on her, not to mention this word was uttered by Yuan Longâs family, and it was particularly harsh.
Yuan Ranâs attitude also reminded her of what happened four years ago, and she felt uncomfortable when she thought about it. This had become a thorn in her heart, which poked deeper and deeper with time.
She thought everything would be wonderful when she came back to the imperial capital this time, but it didnât seem to be the case. People who donât like you will still dislike you. And the people she deliberately didnât think about would eventually appear in front of her again.
She was depressed and silently punched several times on the pillow, Yu Shanshan looked at her fat son who was sleeping on the side with his belly spreading out and kissed him twice on the face. Only then did she feel healed a lot. She might as well not go downstairs at all, and hug her fat son to sleep together, so that the people downstairs would think that she was still crying sadly.
The people downstairs indeed thought she was crying sadly. Grandpa Yuan had a very ugly expression and said angrily: âYou guys caused chaos as soon as you guys returned. If you guys canât speak well, just get lost, donât be an irksome presence in front of me! â
Everyone was still afraid that Grandpa Yuan would get angry. Although Yuan Ran was very wronged, she did not dare cry in front of Grandpa Yuan anymore. She had no choice but to hold back tears aggrievedly, and sulked alone.
And Su Minghua didnât dare to reprimand any more. As to who was most afraid of Grandpa Yuan in this family, it was definitely her.
Thinking of the purpose of this visit, Su Minghua asked Yuan Long: âI heard that you had a marriage report? Are you going to marry Yu Shanshan?â
There was no superfluous expression on Yuan Longâs face even when he faced his own mother, and he said indifferently: âYes, this time I came back to get married.â
Su Minghua breathed hard, and the air in her stomach became a bit uncontrollable.
âGetting married is such a big issue and you decided without discussing it with your parents? You are fooling around!â
Yuan Long glanced upstairs and said patiently: âI am the one looking for a partner. I will marry whoever I like. No one else can influence my decision.â
âYou!â Su Minghua was so angry that she patted her chest, but her son had always been independent, and was not close with her. She had never been able to control him, so she turned to look at Grandpa Yuan, âDad, donât you care about him? Heâs just fooling around. .â
Grandpa Yuan raised his eyelids and said, âFooling around? I think itâs good. Is it possible that you still want to arrange a marriage for him, and he has to listen to his parents on whom he wants to marry?â
Both Su Minghua and Yuan Zhenbang looked stiff, and Su Minghua directly felt wronged: âWhat do you mean by an arranged marriage? We are his parents and we want whatâs good for him. Is it possible or not to harm him?â
Grandpa Yuan waved his hand, âDonât tell me your reasons, anyway, I admit Shanshan as my granddaughter-in-law.â
Both their expressions turned ugly and they still wanted to say something. Yuan Long had already got up and said to the old man: âGrandpa, Iâll go up and take a look.â
Grandpa Yuan waved his hand, âGo, go, and coax your wife.â
Yuan Long didnât look at the others, went straight upstairs, unscrewed the doorknob, and found that the door was locked inside, so he knocked on the door.
There was no movement in the door.
Knowing that she was having a temper, Yuan Long shook his head helplessly and took out his cell phone to send her a message: Open the door for me, be good. After thinking about it, he added a âmwahâ in the back.
Yu Shanshan held up her mobile phone and laughed. She was so terrified by his âmwahâ. Normally, she didnât feel anything when she sent this word to others or received it from others. But when she saw what he posted, she felt it was particularly out of sorts and funny, itâs not at all similar to his temperament.
She didnât plan to open the door for him just now, but for the sake of these three words, she reluctantly got out of bed and opened the door, but suddenly he hugged her and turned around, pressing her back against the door.
The tip of his nose pressed against the tip of her nose, and he breathed.
Both of them were too close, Yu Shanshan stammered when she accidentally said, âWhat are you doing?â
Yuan Long looked at her deeply before saying, âIâm sorry.â
Originally, that little bit of unhappiness was completely wiped out by him with a âsorryâ. She picked out his shirt button and muttered: âWhy tell me Iâm sorry, I didnât say I was angry with you.â
Yuan Long touched her head, âThen, shall we go get married tomorrow? If we get married, you are my wife. Our marriage is protected by law, and no one can say anything.â
Yu Shanshan looked up at him, opened her mouth, and discussed: âYuan Long, letâs not get married first, letâs talk about it later.â
Yuan Longâs expression changed and he looked at her nervously, âYou regret it again? I said you donât need to care about other people. In the future, we will be in the military area and we will rarely deal with them. Donât take their words to heart. You just need to know, You are my wife, the granddaughter-in-law recognized by my grandfather. Nothing else is necessary. As long as I love you, no one can stop us.â
Seeing his face changed, knowing that he had misunderstood, Yu Shanshan waved her hand, âNo, I have no regrets.â
Yuan Longâs brows were still not loose, and he hesitated to ask: âThenâ¦Do you still mind Fu Mingyue? I said, I have nothing to do with her, I only treat her as a younger sister, absolutely nothing else. You still donât believe it?â
Yu Shanshan thought of the unreasonable things she did four years ago, regretted in her heart, and hurriedly said: âNo, no, I donât believe it, I believe it the most now, and itâs absolutely nothing to do with her. I, I just want to get married later. Can we get married after a period of time?â
Hearing that she didnât mind Fu Mingyueâs affairs, Yuan Long breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at her deeply, âGive me a reason.â
Yu Shanshan bit her lip and said embarrassedly: âI, I want to wait until I lose weight before going. We have to take a photo when we get married. I donât want to stand next to you in my current image.â
Hearing this, Yuan Longâs brows relaxed, but he still didnât understand, âJust for this? Itâs just a photo. Is it necessary to postpone?â
âOf course!â Yu Shanshan is very firm. âThe photo on the marriage certificate will last a lifetime and cannot be changed. If I take a photo with you now, itâs like flowers and cow dung getting married. Iâll have angina every time I see it. I donât want it!â
Yuan Long pursed his lips and said nothing.
Seeing that he didnât agree, Yu Shanshan reached out and hooked his neck and shook it coquettishly, âI beg you, okay? I will definitely lose weight when I go to your paternal auntâs studio. After you wait for me to lose weight and become beautiful, we will look like an ideal couple when we take the photo. Besides, when we get married I want to post it to Moments, and I want to show my best image to everyone, OK? â
His neck was gently shaken, and her long-lost coquettish voice was heard in his ears. Yuan Long was defeated in a few seconds. He had always been unable to withstand her coquettish acts.
âThen in three months, by three months, we will have to get married no matter what you become.â
Yu Shanshan hesitated. Originally, she wanted to lose 60kg before she got married to him. She didnât know if she could lose that much in three months. What if she was still fat after three months?
âCanât you wait for me to lose weight completely?â
Yuan Long firmly refused, âNo, you only have three months, and we will get married after three months.â
Seeing that there was no more room for discussion, Yu Shanshan had to pucker her mouth and compromise, âOkay, then I will work hard.â She would strive to lose weight successfully by three months.
Yuan Longâs forehead touched her forehead, his expression was as deep as a pool, âI have yielded to this point, shouldnât you compensate me?â
Knowing what he meant, remembering the previous kiss that was interrupted, Yu Shanshan bit her lip, her face turned red, and she quietly glanced at the fat son on the bed, and found that he was still sleeping soundly, slightly relieved, and whispered softly: â Then close your eyes.â
Yuan Long smiled and closed his eyes very obediently.
Yu Shanshanâs heart was pounding. Although the two of them already had a child, they didnât know what was going on at this time. They felt too embarrassed to kiss, as if they had renewed a relationship.
Enduring the shyness, Yu Shanshan stood on tiptoe and slowly moved her lips together.
âMom and dad, what are you doing?â
Suddenly, the little fat manâs voice came from the bed, and Yu Shanshanâs tiptoed feet dropped suddenly.
When Yu Shanshan and Yuan Long turned their heads at the same time, they saw a three-headed short fat man sitting on the bed with his upper body naked, looking at them curiously.
âAlasââ Yuan Long sighed deeply, not understanding why he was always interrupted at critical times, he just wanted to kiss, why was it so difficult.
Hearing his sigh, Yu Shanshan wanted to laugh very much, and indeed laughed unkindly.
Dudu on the bed bit his fingers and asked suspiciously, âMom, are you and Dad eating delicious food behind my back?â So she laughed so happily?
Yu Shanshan walked over and squeezed the fat on his stomach, âShut up, little fat guy, you only know how to eat.â
Dudu hurriedly protected his little belly, and made sure that there was nothing delicious in his motherâs mouth. He picked up his shirt from the side and put it on himself, then climbed out of the bed and ran to the door, âMom, Iâll go find my great aunt to play.â
The little fat man slipped too fast, and he disappeared before Yu Shanshan could call him.
Thinking of the group of people downstairs, Yu Shanshan was not at ease, but she didnât want to face those people anymore, so she ordered Yuan Long: âQuickly go down and watch Dudu.â
Yuen Long sighed again and had to chase his fat son downstairs again.
