608: Chapters 675-676, Mother-in-law, Father-in-law!
“Of course I’d ‘chop’ them down for you; I absolutely support you,” Fang Yi said with a smile.
Shen Xiaoxiao sat up straight, her cheeks inflating like she was puffing them up, her bright eyes filled with playful resentnt.
Fang Yi laughed, “What’s wrong?
I said I support you picking up a knife and ‘chopping’ them down.
All done and dusted, how good would that be?”
Shen Xiaoxiao was quite embarrassed, pouting as she said, “Brother-in-law, you just like to tease .”
Fang Yi replied, “How could I be teasing you?
You’re the one who’s talking about ‘chopping’ people with a knife.
I wouldn’t dare tease you.”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s cheeks turned as red as a waterlon, embarrassed and shy, she whispered, “I don’t have that kind of strength, you know.
Fighting and killing…
even though I also wish I could, I just don’t have the ability.
What I said earlier was just said in a mont of anger.”
It was indeed said in a mont of anger!
Fang Yi sighed, “Was it that three people ca to your house to stir up trouble today?”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at him in surprise, “Brother-in-law, how did you know?!”
Fang Yi replied, “I’m just brilliantly astute.”
“I don’t believe it.” Shen Xiaoxiao shook her head, then sothing crossed her mind, “You didn’t install caras in my house, did you?” As she spoke, her gaze started darting around her own bedroom, obviously looking for the so-called caras.
Fang Yi broke out in a sweat and said, “Don’t worry, I’m not into that kind of thing.”
Shen Xiaoxiao huffed, “As if you’d have the guts.”
Fang Yi said, “Yes, yes, yes, you are my little sister-in-law, you’re the boss.”
“Oh yeah!
You finally admitted you’re my brother-in-law.” Shen Xiaoxiao’s thoughts were really unpredictable, a mont ago she was all aggrieved, and now she was so excited, truly changeable.
Of course, it was only soone as carefree and quirky as Shen Xiaoxiao who could be this way, which was also what made her so endearing.
Fang Yi said, “Anyway, don’t worry.
I’m back now, nobody can hurt you guys.”
Shen Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, her cheeks featuring two small dimples, as she nodded forcefully.
“Alright!
Co on, let’s play a ga!” Fang Yi exclaid.
Shen Xiaoxiao’s mood imdiately improved, and she said, “Brother-in-law, let’s play ‘Nursery,’ ‘Nursery,’ not ‘Child’s Hijack!'”
Fang Yi was puzzled, “‘Nursery’ and ‘Child’s Hijack?’ What are those?”
“Hehe, brother-in-law, you don’t know about these, huh?
Co on, pick a character and I’ll explain while you play.”
“Hmm.”
Around eight o’clock in the evening, Luo Sui’s voice ca from the living room, telling the two to co out and eat.
At the end of their final clash in the ga, Fang Yi scored a ‘Penta-Kill’ using ‘Nursery’ and went downstairs to the living room with Shen Xiaoxiao.
Around the rectangular dining table, Shen Hongyang, wearing a pair of black-rimd glasses, sat at the head of the table, looking sowhat aged.
Upstairs, Shen Binnan slowly descended the staircase, and when Fang Yi looked at her, she also looked his way.
Their gazes t mid-air, and Shen Binnan widened her eyes as if showing off her strength.
Fang Yi chuckled and wasn’t bothered.
This was a typical interaction between him and Shen Binnan.
“Eh, little Fang, co sit down.
Binnan, you hurry over too.
Co, sit next to little Fang.”
No sooner had Fang Yi sat down than Luo Sui, without giving Shen Binnan much chance to speak, took hold of her daughter and directly pressed her down next to Fang Yi.
This CEO of Longtu Group seed to have no power to resist.
Shen Xiaoxiao frowned in displeasure and called out, “Mom, that’s not fair!”
Luo Sui countered, “How is it unfair?”
“You…
you’re biased!” Shen Xiaoxiao pointed at Fang Yi and Shen Binnan, whining like a child, “Why can they sit together and not ?”
“You silly child,” Luo Sui said affectionately, “they are a couple, and you as the young aunt, why stir up trouble?”
Gah!
Shen Binnan was the first to lift her eyes, staring intently at Luo Sui, “Mom, did you get it wrong?
How did this jerk and I beco a couple?”
Luo Sui looked innocent, “No mistake there, your dad even said he would betroth you…”
“Alright.” Luo Sui was delighted, then turned to Shen Binnan, lecturing, “He’s promised to you, Fang.
How are you two not a couple?
Besides, I think Fang is quite good.
He brings so many gifts when he visits and is so well-mannered; it would be wonderful to have him as a son-in-law.”
Shen Hongyang didn’t object, and Shen Xiaoxiao pouted, clearly showing an ‘I’m not happy, I’m really not happy’ look, while Fang Yi smiled smugly, “Thank you for the complints, my future mother-in-law.
Next ti I visit, I’ll definitely bring even more things.
Binnan, you see, Fang is really swell.”
Shen Binnan was speechless.
How could she have such a mother?
She glanced at Shen Hongyang and saw no change in his expression.
After thinking it over, she ultimately chose not to say more.
When they started eating, Fang Yi kept serving dishes to Luo Sui and Shen Xiaoxiao, which made the pouty Shen Xiaoxiao sowhat happier, and even Shen Hongyang, who wore a stern face—Fang Yi wasn’t afraid of him and served him dishes too.
“Here, father-in-law, have so fatty at.
A hearty al and a good drink, that’s the real joy of life,” Fang Yi said ingratiatingly.
Shen Hongyang glanced at Fang Yi’s smiling face and said, “You’re quite forward, aren’t you?”
All this endearing ‘father-in-law’ talk was giving Shen Hongyang a strange feeling inside.
Fang Yi said, “From now on you’re my dad, so of course I can’t be reserved.
If I were, we wouldn’t be like family.” That’s how the so-called sophistry goes.
Shen Hongyang sighed and said, “Well then, let it be.
Co to my study after dinner.”
Shen Hongyang wasn’t in the mood to eat much and left after half a bowl of rice.
With the father-in-law gone, no worries, the mother-in-law was still there.
So Fang Yi continued to cozy up to Luo Sui, drawing continuous praise from her, and finally provoking Shen Binnan’s retaliation—a jade hand pinched a chunk of Fang Yi’s waist through the clothes.
It didn’t hurt, it really didn’t hurt at all—I’m an Earth Level fifth-stage expert, what’s this little pinch?
Whereas Shen Binnan was fuming, grinding her teeth at seeing this scoundrel fawning over her mother without a shred of sha, and seemingly immune to pain, which really frustrated her.
After dinner, Fang Yi arrived at the study as promised.
Shen Hongyang sat behind the desk, where a cup of steaming tea sat giving off wisps of heat.
Fang Yi took a seat opposite Shen Hongyang.
Fang Yi didn’t stand on ceremony, pulling out cigarettes—of course, he offered one to his father-in-law first, knowing full well the proprieties.
Shen Hongyang gave him a peculiar look, hesitated for a mont, but still accepted the cigarette.
Then Fang Yi, like a lackey, lit the cigarette for Shen Hongyang and one for himself.
After a silent pause, Shen Hongyang said, “Fang Yi ah…”
“Father-in-law, please speak,” Fang Yi said with a smile.
“Stop being so affectionate, I’m still not used to it,” Shen Hongyang said sternly.
“No big deal, if you’re not used to it, I am.
Father-in-law, father-in-law, father-in-law, let call you a few more tis, and you should get used to it,” Fang Yi said.
“…”
Shen Hongyang sighed, “You’re always so optimistic, huh?”
Fang Yi chuckled hehe and said, “How about it, father-in-law?
Not feeling so optimistic?
Could it be because of the Fang Family?”
“How co you are so clever?”
Shen Hongyang’s eyes suddenly narrowed as he stared at Fang Yi, slowly nodding his head.
