Chapter 1152: Chapter 1153: You Did It on Purpose

Zheng Shuo’e really didn’t know what to say right now.

If, according to Lu Yaobing, Song Xiaodong is definitely a gentleman, like the reincarnation of Liuxia Hui, unaffected by beauties in his embrace.

But as a mother, thinking long-term, she always worries that something inappropriate might happen between her daughter and Song Xiaodong, which would ruin her daughter’s life.

Furthermore, she had seen with her own eyes Song Xiaodong’s ability, his medical skill is indeed remarkable. For her daughter to learn from him, from a career perspective, it’s an incredibly good thing.

This balance of pros and cons really made her unable to decide.

That night, Zheng Shuo’e didn’t sleep well, and eventually could only choose a middle-ground decision, which was to let Lu Yaobing follow Song Xiaodong to learn, while she would occasionally check in. If she noticed something amiss, she would immediately sever their relationship.

The next day, when she told Lu Yaobing her decision, Lu Yaobing didn’t oppose, she merely pouted and said, "Mom, you’re worrying for nothing. I’m not a child. Do you think I don’t know what I should and shouldn’t do?"

Zheng Shuo’e sighed and said, "Sigh, I know you’re a sensible child, but women, once they’re swept up in emotions, won’t think too much. I really don’t want you to reach that point, because it would hurt you the most."

"Don’t worry, I won’t." Lu Yaobing said confidently, but in her heart, she thought, even if that day comes, it’s no big deal, Master has several wives anyway, one more of me is nothing significant.

Zheng Shuo’e shook her head. The more readily her daughter answered, the more worried she became. But she planned to thoroughly investigate what Song Xiaodong actually did.

Most of the Walter Family members had left. Although Turner, the elderly couple, weren’t completely treated yet, because they only needed treatment once a week, they mostly toured around China, returning to the Su Family only when treatment was needed.

Only Betty and Karen stayed at the Su Family residence.

After dinner that day, Betty went directly to Song Xiaodong and said, "Dear Song, could I invite you to stroll around your homestead?"

Song Xiaodong immediately said, "I have things to attend to later, why don’t you ask my sister and the others to go for a walk with you?"

Betty pouted and said, "Song, you’re avoiding me. Are you afraid of falling in love with me?"

Song Xiaodong awkwardly laughed, knowing Betty was provoking him, using a reverse psychology tactic. He said, "Betty, I always feel that a lady of your stature shouldn’t lower herself to come to my home like this."

Betty raised her chin and said, "I don’t have such feelings. Your wives are each very outstanding, with excellent qualities. I don’t feel superior to them. Being with them, I feel very happy."

Song Xiaodong rolled his eyes and said, "You’ll have better choices."

Betty wasn’t reserved at all, and said, "At least for now, I haven’t met anyone better. I’ve met a man like you, whom I like."

Song Xiaodong was truly speechless. This noble lady, once in love, was more persistent than most people.

"Let’s go. I know you don’t accept me now, but I believe one day you will. At the very least, you can treat me as a friend, a partner for now." Betty said, already linking her arm with Song Xiaodong’s.

Song Xiaodong was a bit helpless, and rejecting her again would seem too unmannerly. He could only accompany Betty on a walk along the Su Family’s paths.

Coming toward them were Shui Qingyue and Sun Ziyun. Betty didn’t let go of Song Xiaodong and greeted them with a smile, "Qingyue, Zi Yun, going for a walk together?"

Sun Ziyun chuckled and said, "We won’t disturb you."

Shui Qingyue also giggled and said, "Betty, good luck!"

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened and he said, "You little traitors."

Sun Ziyun laughed, "Husband, Betty is so beautiful and elegant, you should go for it. We think it’s great, having a foreign girl around adds excitement."

Betty quickly chimed in, "Yes, it would definitely add a new kind of fun."

"Pfft..." Song Xiaodong looked at Betty, stupefied, "You can actually say that?"

Betty smiled sweetly and said, "If I want to integrate into your family, I have to integrate into everything."

Sun Ziyun and Shui Qingyue giggled and ran off, even though they were already Song Xiaodong’s women, being only twenty-four or five, they were still quite playful.

Song Xiaodong shook his head, feeling that his family was getting more and more out of control, these women seemed to want to overturn heaven.

Betty then cleverly changed the topic to something about their cooperation. She was a very smart woman, knowing that Song Xiaodong hadn’t accepted her yet, so speaking too much about emotions would only give him pressure and resistance.

When they talked about these topics, Song Xiaodong relaxed a lot and started chatting with Betty.

"Hey, what kind of fruit is that?" In the Su Family’s yard, there were some fruit trees. At this time, apricots were ripe, the tree full of red and yellow apricots.

"These are apricots." Song Xiaodong explained simply.

Betty said excitedly, "Oh, I’ve never had this fruit before."

Apricots are hard to preserve, have little economic value, so they aren’t usually grown in orchards. They are typically planted in family yards, common in some areas but rare in others.

"I want to pick a couple to taste." Saying that, Betty directly went to the tree, hugged the trunk, and started climbing up.

Song Xiaodong was stunned. This noble girl knew how to climb trees, which was quite an eye-opener.

Betty climbed quite nimbly, reaching the branches quickly, picked an apricot, tasted it, frowned slightly at first, then tasted it again, saying, "A bit sour, yet sweet, not bad at all. Dear, do you want a couple?"

"Be careful, don’t fall." Song Xiaodong stood under the tree, reminding Betty.

"I won’t." Betty giggled and said, "Those over there are more red and yellow, I’ll go pick them." Saying that, she started moving horizontally on the branches.

"Be careful, be careful!" Song Xiaodong quickly reminded her.

"Ah!" At that moment, Betty suddenly screamed and fell directly from the tree.

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened, but he stretched out his arms to catch her.

Betty stretched her arms around Song Xiaodong’s neck, smiled, and said, "I knew you’d catch me."

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened again, realizing that this girl did it on purpose.
