Chapter 60: No!
Looking at Luo Yao’s familiar protective demeanor, Ji Yunqi realized that she had once again failed to control her expression.
It couldn’t be helped, who asked this woman to raise her daughter so well?
Look at her daughter, Zhang Xinrou. She’s not only beautiful, but she completely inherited it from her mother. Her mother, Luo Yao, is very beautiful, so her daughter must be beautiful too.
The key is that she’s beautiful, but this girl is also knowledgeable, gentle, and most importantly, not at all pretentious. She has all the good qualities.
If there’s a flaw, it might be that she’s been protected too well by Luo Yao, leaving Ji Yunqi no opportunity to get close. What a shame.
But it’s not too late. It would be a shame not to win over such a good girl as a daughter-in-law. She must help her son win over this daughter-in-law she has her eye on!
“Uh… come, come, Aunt Luo, please sit, please sit.” Ji Yunqi changed from her earlier foolish appearance and started to be attentive, inviting Luo Yao to sit.
At the same time, she gave her wife a look, signaling her to keep an eye on the young girl.
The couple, with decades of tacit understanding, could naturally understand each other’s glances and hints. Ye Mingkong immediately sprang into action.
She put away the look of displeasure she had towards Luo Yao and revealed a sunny, handsome smile: “Come, classmate, you sit too.”
Zhang Xinrou, with her limited experience, was flustered by the sudden enthusiasm of the couple and looked at Luo Yao helplessly.
Although Ji Yunqi and Ye Mingkong’s motives were very obvious, due to their different identities, Luo Yao could not analyze the intentions of these two young people in a short time.
“Aren’t you going to introduce yourselves properly?” Luo Yao said with a smile, looking at the two young people in front of her.
Although it seemed like a casual glance, it was actually a scrutiny. Luo Yao’s intuition told her that the two young people in front of her were not right, there was a problem, and the problem seemed to be quite significant.
“My name is Ji Yunqi, I’m 48… no, no… I’m 18, yes, 18 years old, studying at Rongcheng University, just started university.” Ji Yunqi finished speaking briefly and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
She was also constantly scolding herself in her heart. How could it be that after so many years, she still felt a little intimidated by this woman, even though she was already a mature woman?
She hoped that no flaws would be discovered, otherwise…
“My name is Ye Mingkong, and I’m 18 years old. I’m a freshman at Rongcheng University, just like her.” After speaking, Ye Mingkong did not forget to cast a proud glance at her husband beside her.
Her gaze seemed to say, “Look, I’m the one who’s capable, but you’re just a nobody~”
The subtle interaction between the couple, like the furnishings in the house, did not escape Luo Yao’s eyes.
After the two introduced themselves last night, Luo Yao had already become suspicious, but she had not said anything.
They chatted casually until noon…
“Since Chengyun is being taken care of by both of you, I can rest assured. Xinrou and I will leave now. See you next time.”
Ji Yunqi did not say anything to keep them, although it was against the rules of hospitality, she felt nothing was wrong. This woman had always been her own boss and extremely domineering. If she said it, she probably wouldn’t listen.
As she was leaving, Luo Yao glanced back at Ji Yunqi meaningfully. It was a casual glance, but in Ji Yunqi’s eyes, it was terrifying.
“Chengyun, let’s get together again when there’s a chance~”
“Ah? Okay, okay, definitely next time.”
“Well, don’t you dare not answer my calls~”
Zhang Xinrou wanted to say a few more words, but she was forcibly pulled away by an impatient Luo Yao, which made Ji Chengyun quite disappointed. He wanted to say a few more words.
…
At this moment, Ji Yunqi and Ji Chengyun, father and son, were staring blankly at the closed door, their bodies motionless, as if lost in thought.
Ji Yunqi was lost in thought, considering the meaning of Luo Yao’s parting glance. The glance seemed calm on the surface, but it was actually full of hidden meaning.
Based on her years of acquaintance with Luo Yao, she felt that this woman had probably seen something and wanted to test her, but she didn’t know what she had seen.
If her true identity were discovered, life would not be peaceful in the future. She estimated that she would have a new NPC that would refresh regularly.
At the same time, Ji Chengyun’s gaze shifted from blankness to disappointment. He really wanted to chat with Zhang Xinrou more…
After all, she was the only girl who had made his heart flutter in so many years, and they were childhood sweethearts envied by others.
This affection could not be matched by others. It was a pity that with parents who were more anxious than him, they had scared away his future mother-in-law.
It would be even more difficult to meet alone in the future. What a pity…
“Ji~~~!!!”
A roar came from behind the father and son. The two of them instantly trembled visibly. Ji Chengyun didn’t care about anything else but ran away after dragging his father to his mother, following the principle of dying together rather than being alone.
“Dad, you talk to Mom. I’m going to cook!”
Ji Chengyun’s actions were incredibly fast. Ji Yunqi’s outstretched hand, which was trying to pull him back, hadn’t even been fully raised.
Seeing that her son had completely abandoned her, Ji Yunqi had no choice but to brace herself and withstand her wife’s anger alone.
“W-Wife, I… I don’t know why she suddenly came. Our son told me this morning. I didn’t mean to hide it from you.”
Ye Mingkong walked towards Ji Yunqi step by step with an unfriendly gaze. Under the immense pressure, the latter could only retreat step by step until there was nowhere to go.
But Ye Mingkong continued to advance. Ji Yunqi had no choice but to extend her slender arms and place them on her wife’s chest, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Ye Mingkong’s mood, which was already not good, became even worse. This loli husband actually dared to resist her! She really needed to be taught a lesson.
Ye Mingkong grabbed Ji Yunqi’s wrists with one hand, pinning them above her head. Then, she looked down at the pitiful Ji Yunqi and said unhappily.
“How dare you! I’m still here, and you’re talking so happily with her! What, do you want to rekindle your old flame?”
“N-no, how would I dare? I belong to you, how could I have such thoughts?”
Ji Yunqi understood the art of survival. At this time, when her wife was in a bad mood, she shouldn’t contradict her. Before, she would have had to kneel on a keyboard, but now she was afraid she would be carried back to the room and pressed down again…
“Heh, no? I think you care about her a lot. What, after decades, you want to accept her confession from back then?” Ye Mingkong questioned.
“No, absolutely not!” Ji Yunqi was almost crying. Why was this person being so unreasonable? She was just saying a few words out of pure friendship.
“It seems you need to suffer a little before you’ll speak!”
“No!”
