Chapter 588: Chapter 589: The Big Family Is Just So-So
Miao Xuanxuan shook her head, looking down on Miao Qingqing and said, "Looking at that expression of yours, I despise you. Youâre way too biased towards your husband. Being your sister is really dangerous. Who knows, one day, I might end up like Xiao Yingying, becoming your brother-in-lawâs little lover."
"Xuanxuan... can you lift your chin a bit? It really hurts," Song Xiaodong finally couldnât help but grit his teeth and speak up. Xuanxuanâs chin was pressing on his chest, and even if the force wasnât great, it was right on his ribs, and it was quite uncomfortable.
"Hey, with such well-developed chest muscles, what hurts? Stop pretending. My chin isnât even complaining about being pressed. Are you trying to change the subject?" Miao Xuanxuan not only did not lift her head, but she even deliberately ground her chin a couple of times.
Song Xiaodongâs face darkened. What on earth was Miao Xuanxuan trying to do? She was given an out, and she still wouldnât take it.
Miao Qingqing rolled her eyes, saying in annoyance, "Whatever, do what you like, Iâm not stopping you."
Miao Xuanxuan burst into laughter and said, "Look at you. If I really did that, youâd disassemble my bones, wouldnât you? Youâre just tough-talking, always have been since we were kids."
Miao Qingqingâs face grew even darker as she said, "Humph, you little brat, youâve been irritating me since we were kids."
Miao Xuanxuan finally turned her head and settled back down, though Song Xiaodongâs hand had already obediently moved to his side, otherwise having Miao Xuanxuan resting on it would truly worry Miao Qingqing.
Unexpectedly, Miao Xuanxuan directly pulled his arm up and said, "Hey, lift your arm. If you keep it down there, who knows if youâll secretly touch me elsewhere?" Then leaning back, she rested on his arm again and said, "This way I feel a bit safer, at least you canât play any tricks."
Though such an action was very intimate, Miao Xuanxuan did it so naturally and openly that not only Miao Qingqing, even Song Xiaodong almost believed it to be genuine.
Slapping Song Xiaodongâs hand lightly, Miao Xuanxuan said, "Stinky brother-in-law, if your hands arenât honest, then I might just become your wife and make you and my sisterâs life hell. Iâm really sleepy, I wonât disturb you guys anymore, Iâm going to sleep a bit longer." Then, after a yawn, she snuggled against Song Xiaodong and closed her eyes.
Song Xiaodong turned his head and gave Miao Qingqing a wry smile, who also yawned and then snuggled up beside him like Miao Xuanxuan, whispering, "Letâs sleep a bit longer, itâs not even six oâclock yet."
Song Xiaodong nodded and also closed his eyes.
This nap was indeed beautiful. Although Song Xiaodong couldnât misbehave, having the two sisters by his side was a delightful pleasure that was enough to dissolve oneâs soul. He couldnât help but quickly immerse himself in a dream.
When he woke up, it was already past eight, and Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan were entangled around him like octopuses.
"I didnât take advantage of you," Song Xiaodong quickly clarified.
Miao Xuanxuan burst into laughter and said, "Look how scared you are, Iâm not blaming you. I just wanted to see what itâs like for my sister to sleep beside you. Itâs quite nice, really enjoyable. I give you full marks on her behalf."
Having said that, Miao Xuanxuan jumped out of bed and giggled as she ran out.
Song Xiaodong still felt somewhat guilty, but Miao Qingqing seemed quite generous as she said, "Hurry up and get up, canât bear to part, can you?"
"No, no," Song Xiaodong hurriedly jumped out of bed.
Miao Qingqing sat up and said, "Humph, seeing how well youâve behaved recently, this is your reward. Donât expect such treats in the future."
"Yes, yes, I know I shouldnât think about things I shouldnât think about."
"Thatâs more like it." Miao Qingqing gave Song Xiaodong a glare and then also got out of bed and walked out leisurely.
Su Yuya had risen early and outside, she saw Miao Xuanxuan giggling as she ran out first, followed by Miao Qingqing. This made her shake her head secretly, realizing the two sisters were indeed getting along well with Song Xiaodong. However, this was quite a mess. The Su family had already acknowledged the two again; if word got out about this, it would be quite embarrassing for the Su family.
But now, she couldnât really say anything. Song Xiaodongâs attitude was firm, and at this time, Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan simply considered themselves as part of the Song family. In their hearts, their sense of belonging to the Su family was indeed very weak.
Without a sense of belonging, it was hard for them to consider the Su familyâs face, and naturally they wouldnât take the Su family into account in their actionsâthis was truly headache-inducing.
After breakfast, Su Yuya said, "All right, Iâll be leaving now, Little Song, you wonât have a problem walking me out, right?"
Miao Xuanxuan immediately said, "Brother-in-law and I will accompany Little Aunt together."
Sun Yuya smiled and said, "No need. Itâs fine if Little Song comes alone."
Miao Qingqing then pulled her sister aside and said, "Okay, then let Brother-in-law walk you out." She knew Su Yuya must have something she wanted to say to Song Xiaodong alone.
The car slowly exited the underground parking lot, and Su Yuya kept looking at Song Xiaodong from the corner of her eye. This man surely knew she had something to say, but he remained unresponsive at the moment, an equanimity which Su Yuya quite admired.
"Little Song, have you considered that your decision this time has offended not only the Sun family but also our Su family?"
"Yes, Iâm aware."
Su Yuya said, "Then why did you still do it? Do you know the consequences are very serious? Although the Sun family didnât explicitly say it, I believe, you definitely havenât faced the real top experts from the Sun family. Otherwise, I fear you wouldnât have been able to take down Sun Ziâang."
"So what? A man must do what he must, and refrain from what he must not. If my own sister is being bullied, and my woman is about to be taken away, I must not back down even if I know itâs impossible."
"A real man should prioritize his career; women are just an attachment. When you have achieved great success, will you be short of women by your side?"
Song Xiaodong glanced at Su Yuya and said indifferently, "Home is always a personâs foundation. Without a foundation, even if the external is flourishing, the roots are unstable and will eventually collapse. Besides, as a man, if I canât even protect my own family, how can I talk about achieving great things?"
Su Yuya frowned and said, "But what youâre up against now is definitely beyond what you can handle. You need to know your limits; not knowing your own strength is just recklessness."
"If I havenât even tried, how can I know itâs not possible? Moreover... in my eyes, Song Xiaodong, a big family... is just so-so!"
Su Yuya stared at Song Xiaodong for a while before shaking her head and saying, "Then take care of yourself." She knew that her purpose for coming this time had completely failed.
Finished writing Wugeng, tonight Iâll write the old book and also research autonomous admission for my daughter. Iâm going to die of exhaustion!
