Chapter 893: Chapter 871: Interstellar Superstar 41
Anning nodded lightly with a smile in her eyes.
"Youâre still smiling."
Xiao Yuan was even angrier, a wave of frustration spreading in his chest with no outlet.
He really wanted to hit Anning, for the first time he thought of giving her a good beating to teach her a lesson.
"Iâm happy!"
Anning jumped up, hooked her arms around Xiao Yuanâs neck and nestled cutely in his arms: "My man risked everything for me, went to the Insect Queenâs lair to find Star Grass. Tell me, can I not be happy? Oh, if he really perished with the Insect Queen, then should I consider finding another one? This time Iâll look for someone obedient who wonât hit or scold me..."
Xiao Yuan slapped Anningâs butt angrily: "Say that again, you ungrateful little..."
He didnât finish the sentence before Anning kissed him.
When the two came out again, they were holding hands, both faces flushed. It was obvious what they had just done.
Li Wanâer watched this scene with a headache.
Cui Zhengxun felt his heart ache.
His precious little treasure was about to leave for another home, and it was really unbearable for him.
Cui Anlin glared fiercely at Xiao Yuan.
Meanwhile, the Xiao Family over there, Marshal Xiao and Mrs. Xiao couldnât close their mouths from laughing, and Xiao Mei even ran over to hug Anning with a smile: "Sister Ning, Iâm really so happy, Sister Ning, can I call you big sister-in-law?"
Cui Anlin huffed: "Why call her big sister-in-law when theyâre not even married yet."
"Right, big brother is right."
Xiao Yuan immediately laughed and agreed.
Cui Anlinâs face turned black: "Donât call me randomly, who is your big brother."
"Big brother is right."
Cui Anlin: ...
Fang Xiaolian looked at this, then at that, seemingly having made some kind of decision in her heart.
Cui Anlin looked at the sweet couple, Xiao Yuan and Anning.
Then looked again at Fang Xiaolian standing not far away.
A surge of heat rose in his heart, he walked over a few steps, pulled a ring out of his pocket, and kneeled on one knee in front of Fang Xiaolian: "Xiaolian, Iâve had this ring for a long time, just never had the courage to propose to you. Today, on such a happy day, I want to confess my feelings to you, I want to..."
He was just about to ask her to marry him when Xiao Gen dashed over suddenly with a bouquet of flowers kneeling in front of Fang Xiaolian: "Xiaolian, I love you, please marry me."
Anning hurriedly pulled Xiao Yuan to hide by the parentsâ side.
Then both familiesâ people were a bit dumbfounded, watching the scene of two men vying for one woman not far away.
Xiao Mei asked Mrs. Xiao: "Mom, arenât you going to stop my second brother?"
Mrs. Xiao shook her head with a smile: "Why should I stop him? Heâs free to do what he wants. Besides, I already have a daughter-in-law. Let him do as he pleases."
Xiao Mei asked Li Wanâer again: "Aunt Li, arenât you going to stop Brother Cui?"
Li Wanâer replied with a smile: "Itâs not easy for him to meet someone he likes. I wonât do anything to break them up. Besides, who to love and marry is his own matter, I donât interfere."
Both sets of parents were so open-minded, leaving Xiao Mei, who wanted to watch a scene where parents forced lovers to separate, quite disappointed.
Isnât it said that mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are natural enemies?
And Fang Xiaolian clearly isnât the quiet type. Sheâs attracted many outstanding men, logically, such women are most hated by those with sons. So why arenât her mom and Aunt Li angry?
Xiao Mei couldnât figure it out no matter how hard she thought.
Li Wanâer said softly: "Iâve said long ago, life is short, no one lives forever, so itâs better to enjoy it while weâre alive. Anyway, theyâre not harming anyone, nor breaking Alliance law, so why should I interfere?"
Thatâs true indeed.
Itâs just two men both liking the same woman, and theyâre not committing any crime or harming anyone by it, so whatâs wrong with that?
Xiao Mei nodded unconsciously.
Fang Xiaolian looked at this one, then at that one.
To be honest, both men were outstanding, both from the Alliance Military Academy, and they both have decent family backgrounds. Also, she heard what both sets of parents said just now.
Both sets of parents were open-minded and reasonable, and regardless of whom sheâd choose, life seemed likely to be good.
But the crucial part was she couldnât decide.
What should she do if she liked both?
"Who do you think sheâll choose?"
Anning asked Xiao Yuan with a smile.
Xiao Yuan frowned, then shook his head: "I donât know. I wonât guess other womenâs hearts except yours."
Anning was even more satisfied.
Xiao Mei came over: "She should choose my second brother."
"Thatâs not certain."
Anning said with a smile.
Xiao Gen held up the flowers and said loudly: "Xiaolian, I love you, I love your beauty and strength... I will treat you well all my life, please marry me."
He was really nervous, almost stuttering as he spoke.
Cui Anlin also held up a ring: "I just like you. Seeing you makes me happy. Iâm glad no matter what you do. After weâre married, Iâll listen to everything you say. You like cooking, Iâll help you, chop and prepare ingredients for you..."
Anning listened to that and said to Xiao Mei: "She should choose my brother."
"It should be my second brother. My second brother is so handsome."
Xiao Mei raised her chin proudly.
Anning smiled: "But my brother is more honest than your second brother."
Xiao Mei was speechless.
Fang Xiaolianâs gaze shifted from Xiao Gen to Cui Anlin.
She bit her lip and reached out to take the ring from Cui Anlinâs hand: "I, I agree."
Cui Anlin was so delighted he almost jumped up.
He held Fang Xiaolianâs hand, stood up, and hugged her tightly.
Xiao Gen took a few steps back, his eyes darkened: "Can I know where I failed?"
Fang Xiaolian smiled at Xiao Gen: "That question alone made you fail. Love is not war, there is no winning or losing in it. Your desire to win or lose is too strong, and your intentions are too much and too deep for me to handle. Instead, being with Anlin is easier and happier."
"And also,"
Fang Xiaolian blinked: "The main reason is that Anlin is Anningâs brother."
Uh?
Everyone was even more confused.
Even Li Wanâer was puzzled: "Xiaolian, what does it have to do with our Ningning?"
Fang Xiaolian laughed merrily: "Of course it matters. If I chose Xiao Gen, then Iâd have to call Anning âbig sister-in-lawâ in the future, and Iâd be one notch lower than her. But if I marry Anlin, Anning will have to call me âbig sister-in-lawâ."
Xiao Gen almost burst a blood vessel.
He had calculated everything but never thought he would lose for such an absurd reason.
Anning shook her head helplessly: "So youâre planning to compete with me your whole life?"
"Mm-hmm."
Fang Xiaolian nodded confidently: "Now call me big sister-in-law once."
"Weâre not married yet, why call her big sister-in-law."
Xiao Yuan used Cui Anlinâs words to counter back directly.
"Behave."
Fang Xiaolian smiled smugly at Xiao Yuan: "Before long, Marshal Xiao will also have to call me big sister-in-law."
Xiao Yuan rubbed his forehead.
Xiao Gen turned to Xiao Yuan: "Brother, is it too late for me to break you and Sister Ning up now?"
Xiao Yuan rolled up his sleeves: "You can try."
