Chapter 439 Satisfaction
Chapter 439 Satisfaction
Xu Mingyuan is not that sentimental. His feelings for his father as a biological son are not as deep as Xiao Yangzhi's.
Xu Jun ordered food at the hotel and the table in the backyard was filled with dishes.
Seeing that Xiao Yangzhi just lowered her head to eat, Xu Mingyuan sent away the hotel waiters who were serving her.
However, little Yangzhi still kept her head down, focusing on eating the food in front of her. After Xu Mingyuan picked up a few pieces of food for her with his chopsticks, he felt helpless when he saw that she was still like this.
My goodness, I, your biological son, haven’t said anything yet, and you, a young wife, are already showing off…
However, the atmosphere at the table was still lively. Xu Mingyuan and his father chatted about all sorts of things. The woman named Zhou Ping at the side also joined in from time to time, trying not to make the atmosphere seem dull.
In Xu Jun's generation, the Xu family was just a scattered family. No matter how hard he tried, it would be impossible for him to patch the Xu family together.
And this arduous task can only be accomplished by Xu Mingyuan.
"Brother, here's a mooncake for you..."
Yang Zhi broke off half of the mooncake and stuffed it into Xu Mingyuan's hand.
"Xiao Yang, I got this lotus mooncake. Try it. It's delicious."
Zhou Ping opened a premium mooncake, stood up and handed it to Xiao Yangzhi's plate.
"..."
Yang Zhi continued to lower her head and pretended not to hear, and worked hard on the hard five-nut mooncake in her hand.
"Thanks, Aunt Zhou. We don't really like eating anything too sweet."
Xu Mingyuan politely declined so as not to make Zhou Ping too embarrassed.
"Tomorrow, I'll get you some mooncakes made with maltose. They're just the right amount of sweetness and won't make you sick."
"It's not a problem. We only eat mooncakes once a year to pass on the cultural custom." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
“We eat mooncakes for family reunion…”
Yang Zhi, who was sitting nearby, heard what Xu Mingyuan said and muttered something in a low voice that only he could hear.
After hearing this, Xu Mingyuan squeezed her hand under the table to indicate that he had heard it.
If it weren't for little Yangzhi, the Xu family would not have paid much attention to festivals.
But little Yangzhi was not in the mood to appreciate the moon today, because Zhou Ping was drinking with her. Xu Mingyuan didn't drink much with his old father either, he just raised his glass a few times as a token of his appreciation.
Looking at the time and seeing that it was almost half past nine, Xu Mingyuan made up an excuse and took Xiao Yangzhi back home.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Seeing Xiao Yangzhi with a droopy face, Xu Mingyuan asked with a smile.
"Brother, you are so passionate about that woman..." Yang Zhi said in a low voice.
"You don't pay attention to her, and I don't talk to her anymore. My dad will be embarrassed." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Brother, you are not like this to my mother..."
"Well, when Aunt Yang came, I was only a little old. I didn't think so much as I do now."
"Brother, will you dislike me just because you don't like my mother?"
"How is this possible?" Xu Mingyuan said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"I'm worried that my brother has a thorn in his heart..." Yang Zhi said in a low voice.
"Nonsense. Besides, I don't really hate Aunt Yang."
"Is it?"
Yang Zhi raised her eyes and looked at him without blinking.
"What else? I don't have much contact with Aunt Yang, and I can't interfere in the affairs between her and my dad. In fact, Aunt Yang is not very nice to you, but she is nice to me." Xu Mingyuan said.
"My mother is not good at controlling you. If you were like me, you would have been beaten a long time ago..." Yang Zhi said, pursing her lips.
"Haha, you're so old now, Aunt Yang won't beat you anymore." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"If my mother beats me again, I will run. I run every day now, so I must be running very fast." Yang Zhi said.
"Look at your lack of ability, you just run away? Don't you know how to resist?"
"I can not……"
Yang Zhi shook her head repeatedly. It was good enough that she could run. Thinking of her mother's glance, she was afraid that she would have to shrink into the cracks of the ground to stop trembling...
"It's okay. Aunt Yang can't control you anymore. If you're scared, don't I still have you?"
"Well, I won't be afraid as long as my brother is here."
The two chatted for a while and drank two pots of tea.
Seeing Xu Jun returning to the house, Yang Zhi greeted him and went upstairs first.
Xu Mingyuan chatted briefly for a few words, felt that there was no point in chatting nonsense, and followed Xiao Yangzhi's steps and went upstairs together.
Although it was only three or five minutes, Yang Zhi was already anxiously waiting.
Seeing Xu Mingyuan coming back, Yang Zhi, who had just put the water in the bathroom, immediately locked the door and pulled him into the bathroom.
Whenever Xiao Yangzhi was in a bad mood, she would hold Xu Mingyuan tightly and not give him a chance to breathe.
Just like Xiao Yangzhi asked him, would she be implicated because of her mother's problem?
There is no need to answer this kind of question; it is absolutely impossible.
In fact, Xiao Yangzhi also knew it very well, but she just wanted to ask. If she didn't ask clearly, she would feel extremely uncomfortable if she kept it in her heart.
There was only a pile of tissue paper left on the bedside table, but Yang Zhi still rubbed Xu Mingyuan gently to see if he still had the energy. When she found that he had no reaction, she turned over and lay on top of him, ready to rest for a while.
However, before Yang Zhixiangyi could have much time to calm down, his body suddenly felt lighter, and then he was thrown over again...
There was another period of leisure time. Seeing Xiao Yangzhi open the bedside table and take out a new pack of tissues to open, Xu Mingyuan quickly grabbed her hand. "You can do it."
"I can do it, but I don't know if you can do it..."
"Hiss, come here."
Xu Mingyuan wanted to pull Xiao Yangzhi over, but she knelt down, moved a few steps off the bed, dodged the paper balls on the ground, and went to open the window.
When the breeze blew along the bottom of the curtains and dispelled the heat in the bedroom, Yang Zhi didn't want to move at all, and she knew that Xu Mingyuan was the same. After all, he didn't have the heart to caress her smooth back...
The central air conditioning in the room had never been turned on, and both of them had a fine layer of sweat on their bodies, which was a little sticky.
But Yang Zhi, who always loved cleanliness, didn't feel it was dirty at all. He even liked the feeling very much, as if he was finally stuck to his body.
"Is it because my dad found a stepmother? Are you upset?"
After a long while, Xu Mingyuan thought that Xiao Yangzhi had fallen asleep. He lowered his head and noticed that Xiao Yangzhi's eyes were shining and she was looking at him.
"no."
Yang Zhi shook his head slightly.
"Why is that?" Xu Mingyuan asked puzzledly.
"Hmm..." Yang Zhi hesitated for a moment before finding the right words to say, "When my brother was talking to Aunt Zhou, his enthusiasm seemed a little fake, not like you..."
"Oh, is that why? Isn't that just social etiquette?"
"Are you always like this outside?"
"Yeah, it's always been like this. You haven't come into contact with many outsiders and don't know how to communicate with them. You see Tao Tao is a little silly and naive, right? If she comes into contact with strangers, she's not much different from me."
"Oh……"
Yang Zhi sighed softly, not knowing what he felt.
"Why are you sighing?"
"I'm just worried that my brother will hate me in the future, but he won't say it and just pretends to be warm to me. If this really happens, I will be very uncomfortable. I might as well let you beat me up..." Yang Zhi said in a low voice.
"Ha, so this is the reason?" Xu Mingyuan said with sudden realization.
"Um……"
"It's really life-threatening, and you're going to give me a beating?"
"Not at all."
"Ah? Anything else?"
Xu Mingyuan was stunned. This little Yang Zhi
"Hmm...chichichi..."
Yang Zhi nodded and was about to say something when she suddenly burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
"I see that my brother always cares about me first, so I want to satisfy you once..." Yang Zhi said softly.
"Hey, how can I be so exaggerated?"
“Yes, it’s not like I can’t see it…”
"..."
Xu Mingyuan's face turned red and he was too embarrassed to say anything.
"Alas, we didn't even enjoy the moon today." Yang Zhi said with a sigh.
"Then draw the curtains and take another look."
Xu Mingyuan reached out to turn off the bedside lamp and wanted to get up.
But Yang Zhi hugged him tightly and whispered, "No need to look, we have already seen it downstairs just now."
"What's there to take a look at?"
"The moon is full on the 16th, we can look at it tomorrow."
"Okay, let's see tomorrow."
"Brother, what do you think the moon will look like tomorrow when we look at it through a telescope?" Yang Zhi asked.
"Do you want to go back to Jiangcheng?"
"Well, I don't like people pretending to be enthusiastic towards me. I don't know what I feel in my heart, but I just feel a little uncomfortable."
"Okay, then we'll go back tomorrow."
"Aren't you going to play with Sister Taotao?" Yang Zhi asked, looking up.
"I'll pick her up when I return to Nanxi the day after tomorrow."
"I thought you wouldn't care about her..." Yang Zhi said with a little resentment.
"She's not pretending to be enthusiastic about you. It's not good to stand her up."
"Yeah, if you stand her up, maybe she'll stand me up too. Oh, it's so difficult..."
"You think too much. I think you are just looking for a beating today."
"Yes, brother, please feel free to do as you please..."
Yang Zhi responded casually, but was too lazy to move. She just lay on him motionless, closing her eyes and waiting for his next move.
But after Yang Zhi finished speaking her heart out, she was so exhausted that she fell asleep peacefully and gently within a minute of closing her eyes...
