“…”

It was raining heavily outside, and the living room was quiet and silent.

Li Xu himself seemed to be unaware of the awkward atmosphere he had created. He sat quietly for a while, and when no one spoke, he asked suspiciously, “Why aren’t you talking?”

He has been very busy with work at the company recently and has no time to visit Xie Yun who is teaching in the mountains. But in the afternoon, he suddenly received a notice from the bodyguard at home, saying that his third brother has brought his marriage partner home and wants to get a marriage certificate.

Thinking of Jing Yi’s previous complaints, Li Xu instinctively felt that something big was going to happen, so he postponed a lot of work before rushing back.

But after he sat down, no one spoke. Li Xu still didn’t quite understand the situation: “Are you done talking?”

Li Ting gritted his teeth and said, “Second brother, can you please stop making trouble?”

He finally got married, and it was fine if no one blessed him, but why did everyone in the family start to oppose it? Even his second brother, who usually didn’t care about gossip, came back in the heavy rain to eat melons.

What’s the point? You’re getting yourself wet on the road.

Li Ting felt like a plucked bird, with the whole family watching him and no privacy at all.

Fortunately, Yuan Tingxuan was with him, which was some consolation.

Li Xu sat still and said, “I heard you were getting married, so I rushed back specially. How did I end up causing trouble?”

Li Ting: “…”

Don’t think I didn’t see the look of surprise on your face. My Xuanxuan will never let me down!

Li Xu waited for a while, but still didn’t hear the trumpet. He turned to look in the corner: “Butler Jing.”

Jing Yi was interrupted and suddenly forgot what he wanted to say. He couldn’t remember it for a long time and looked up blankly: “Yeah?”

Li Xu said generously: “You are also a member of our family, come and sit down.”

Jing Yi hesitated: “Second Master, this is not good.”

This is a family meeting.

“What’s wrong with that?” Li Xu raised his chin and said, “Sit down.”

Sit closer so he can hear better.

Li Ting heard the voice-over: “…”

Li Wenzhao didn’t say anything, his tacit agreement was subtle. Li Mingzhi was even less likely to object, and patted the empty seat next to him: “Butler Jing, come and sit here, next to me.”

The sofa was long and wide, but after being occupied by several adult men, the space was limited. The seat vacated by Li Mingzhi was next to Li Wenzhao.

Upon hearing this, the latter raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned his handsome and neat features to look at Jing Yi. His eyes were deep under his thick eyebrows, his hair fell on his brow bones, and his eyes were full of heat.

Jing Yi shrank back when he looked at him, “I guess not yet.”

Here it comes again, looking at the little cake’s eyes.

“Hey, housekeeper Jing, please take a seat.” Li Mingzhi stood up and pushed Jing Yi to sit on the sofa: “My eldest brother has agreed. Once he nodded, no one dared to object, right, eldest brother?”

Li Wenzhao’s eyes fell to the side: “Let’s talk about business first.”

These words calmed Jing Yi down and he sat still.

After Jing Yi sat down, Li Xu waited for a while.

【……】

Li Xu: “…”

【……】

Li Xu: “…”

Why haven’t you started yet?

Seeing that no one spoke, Li Xu straightened his back and began the process, “Third brother, you speak first.”

Li Ting: “……?”

He has already said everything, what else is there for him to say?

Li Xu dutifully acted as the host of the party: “Who is this girl?”

“…” Li Ting said loudly: “Second brother, this is my wife, she just returned to China, and we are preparing to get married now.”

Li Xu glanced at Jing Yi.

Jing Yi: “???”

[Why are you looking at me, Second Young Master? Did I not clean up the potato chip crumbs just now? ]

Li Xu: “…”

Seeing Jing Yi didn’t respond, Li Xu turned around and asked, “Why get married?”

Li Ting: “Because of love.”

【……】

Li Xu continued: “True love?”

Li Ting: “Of course!”

【……】

Li Xu was so anxious that he spoke directly: “Do you have any melons to eat?”

“…”

Li Ting’s face was red and confused: “Second brother, if you don’t know how to ask, then don’t ask.”

“…” Li Xu shut his mouth.

He doesn’t want to be the host either, so isn’t that why Butler Jing remains silent?

Jing Yi was a little distracted at the moment. He was a little too close to Li Wenzhao. With his legs against each other, he could feel the tense muscles and warm body temperature. He was a person who was good at being distracted, and now his attention was even more focused on Li Wenzhao.

Until Yuan Tingxuan made an uneasy sound: “A Ting, your family members… they don’t like me?”

Only then did Jing Yi turn his head and look over.

Li Xu caught his movements, slowly straightened his back and pricked up his ears.

“Don’t think too much, baby. My brothers and the others don’t mean that.” Li Ting touched Yuan Tingxuan’s head and said softly, “You are the first girl I bring home. My brothers and the others are afraid that I will be impulsive. This is a test of our relationship. Don’t be afraid.”

The girl leaned towards Li Ting’s arms and said, “Ah Ting, the child and I are relying on you. You won’t abandon us, right?”

“Of course not!” Li Ting said firmly: “I have even stolen the household registration book. I must give you and the child a home.”
