Chapter 129 - Make Lots Of Babies
Chapter 129: Make Lots Of Babies
The thought had just set in Mu Siyin’s mind when Leng Jiao snorted. She then walked towards Huo Sikai’s direction and placed her hand on his shoulders with a slap. Mu Siyin could see Huo Sikai trembling.
“What is in your brain?”
Huo Sikai immediately smiled with his eyes squinted. “I’m just joking.”
“You can’t joke like that in front of a girl! Do you know how embarrassing it is for Siyin?”
Huo Sikai started to give in to the pressure and lifted his hands to surrender. “I’m sorry, your royal highness. Can’t you just sit and talk nicely?”
If Leng Jiao got mad, she would really flatten Huo Sikai, like a pancake, with nothing but a slap, and he could not strike back.
That was why he was afraid of her.
Upon hearing this, Leng Jiao instantly pulled out the chair next to Huo Sikai and sat there. Huo Sikai really wanted to slap himself to death at that moment.
Out of all things, why did he tell her to sit next to him?
Great. How was he going to go through this night peacefully with her next to him?
Shi Beiyu pulled Mu Siyin to their seats. He faced her and whispered, “Do you see that? That’s how a mouse looks when it sees a cat.”
Mu Siyin did all she could to suppress her laughter. She nodded her head. “Yeah. This is really entertaining.”
So this was what the legendary quote, ‘everything has its vanquisher,’ meant.
“Don’t neglect us by whispering to Sister-in-law, Brother. Today is the day you went public with your relationship. Come! Let me give you a toast.”
Shi Ran held the wine glass as he stood up. It was obvious that he was using this opportunity to make Shi Beiyu drink more that night.
Huo Sikai was still coming up with an idea to escape from Leng Jiao’s violent grip. However, Shi Ran’s words instantly threw his worries to the back of his mind as he stood up with the wine glass in his hand. With a smile across his face, he said, “Yeah, little Beibei. We won’t leave until we get you drunk tonight. Come!”
Since two of the gang had stood up, Shi Ran and Leng Jiuchen naturally followed suit and lifted their glasses. Leng Jiao had no choice but to follow them as well. “Yeah, Ah Yu. Hope you and Siyin get married and make lots of babies.”
Huo Sikai immediately darted his eyes to glance at Mu Siyin the moment Leng Jiao said that.
He still remembered how much he had frightened Mu Siyin when he mentioned babies the last time.
However, there was nothing unusual about Mu Siyin’s reaction now. On the contrary, she even seemed… a little bit embarrassed?
Why?
Upon hearing this, Shi Beiyu’s spirits lifted. “I’m counting on your blessings.”
…
Meanwhile, in the Shi family manor.
A grey-haired Old Master Shi was having dinner with Mother Shi at the luxurious yet elegant dining room.
A few servants stood next to them, carefully heeding to their master’s needs. Their heads were kept low, and no one dared to look up.
Old Master Shi placed down his cutleries. He creased his forehead slightly as he looked at Mother Shi, who was sipping on her soup at the moment. His voice filled with curiosity. “I heard that Ah Yu has a girlfriend now. Is that true?”
Mother Shi put down her spoon and dipped the corner of her lips with a handkerchief. She smiled as she replied, “That’s right. He seems to like her a lot too.”
Old Master Shi did not seem excited about it. He simply nodded his head in response. “Okay. Which family is the Young Lady from?”
Mother Shi let out a soft sigh. “I asked him about it, but he won’t tell me anything. He even said that he will bring her back for a visit when the time is right. However, he did say that she isn’t from a noble family.”
The crease on Old Master Shi’s forehead deepened when he heard this. “Then what is it? I spent so much time finding a suitable match for him. They were all of noble birth and ladies from respectable families, but he did not even cast them a glance. Yet, he found a match for himself now? The Shi family is not a place for a promiscuous woman!”
Noticing that Old Master Shi was a little mad, Mother Shi added on defensively, “That is for sure. But he also said that the girl came from a decent family. It just doesn’t live up to our expectations.”
