Long Xiaocaiâs eyes flickered, but she didnât say anything more.
"Iâll be off now, letâs get in touch when we have time."
After she left, Sister-in-law Chen turned to Chen Yujun and said, "Husband, do you think she agreed? Wei Yixiâs conditions seem better than Great Officer Mengâs, Little Cai should agree, right?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Yujun shouted angrily, "How dare you say that? Do you have any idea how much trouble youâve caused? What were you thinking? Why canât you just stay out of things?"
"I-I just meant well..."
"Meant well, my ass! Youâre trying to ruin me! Didnât you see just now? Meng Xi chased me out without a hint of mercy!" Chen Yujun said furiously, "Do I still have any dignity left? And if Long Xiaocai really takes out her anger on us, and tells people about it, do you think I can still advance my career? Forget advancing, they might just demote me at any moment!"
"Maybe not? Then," Sister-in-law Chen was both shocked and panicked, grabbing his hand and said, "Then husband, quickly set up a meeting between Little Cai and Wei Yixi, if they like each other, Little Cai wonât be mad at us."
Chen Yujun angrily shook her off, "I was just trying to calm Long Xiaocai down! Do you think Iâm really that close with Wei Yixi? Do you think just because I say they meet, theyâll meet? Wei Yixi isnât someone you can mess with! And Director Wei, if things go wrong, Old Wei could strip me to the bone alone!"
"Then, what should we do?" Sister-in-law Chen wanted to cry.
"What should we do? Who should I ask if you ask me?" Chen Yujun pointed at her and scolded, then said, "Iâm warning you, donât interfere in my matters anymore, or Iâll divorce you!"
At the mention of divorce, Sister-in-law Chenâs legs gave out and she collapsed to the ground.
Chen Yujun slammed the door and stormed out.
After chatting with Old Yang and others for about half an hour, Chiang Xiao started making tea for them. Naturally, she made health tea.
Old Yang felt extremely sleepy after drinking the tea for a while. The two old folks supported each other as they went back. Before leaving, Chiang Xiao invited them to come over for dinner again tomorrow, and they happily agreed.
As soon as they left, Meng Xinian closed the door and picked up Chiang Xiao.
"Finally, theyâre all gone!"
Really, since Little arrived, they hardly had any time to be alone together.
So many people, it was exhausting.
Chiang Xiao was lifted high like a child, her hands rested on his shoulders, looking down at him, "Donât you think you should leave too?"
She had said before that they couldnât live together before getting married, and they had already arranged a place for him to stay.
Hearing this, Meng Xinianâs face immediately darkened.
Thatâs why, he thought, why donât they just get married soon?
Really canât put up with this anymore.
He put Chiang Xiao down and said to her, "Itâs still early, no rush. But how about you go take a bath first and wait for me, Iâm going to borrow something from someone."
Chiang Xiao was stunned, "Borrow what?"
"Youâll know in a while, go ahead, itâs a good time for you to take a bath."
Donât waste the time they can have alone later.
"Also, after I leave, lock the door, donât let anyone in."
Before, he didnât really lock the door, since there wasnât anything to take anyway, and sometimes people looking for him would just push the door open and come in.
