Chapter 76 - 76 Returning to the Yuan Family
76 Returning to the Yuan Family
Wang Chen was embarrassed by Wei Lan’s words. Fang Yao kept picking food for Yuan Xiao until there was a small hill in Yuan Xiao’s bowl. Only then did Fang Yao put down the chopsticks in his hand.
When Wei Lan saw Fang Yao’s actions, she could not help but chuckle and said to Yuan Xiao, “It’s all thanks to your help that Ah Yao’s results improved so much this time.”
“Fang Yao worked hard himself. Auntie, you and Uncle have to believe him. Fang Yao is actually very outstanding.”
Hearing Yuan Xiao’s words, Wei Lan’s eyes almost turned red. This girl was sincerely thinking for Fang Yao. Wei Lan was very touched.
“Xiao Xiao, your uncle actually agreed to you and Ah Yao being together. The bet was just to get you to help Fang Yao. As long as the two of you like each other, your uncle and I will fully support you two being together!”
Hearing Wei Lan’s words, Yuan Xiao almost choked on the juice she drank. It seemed that Fang Yao’s parents had indeed misunderstood her current relationship with Fang Yao.
“Auntie, Fang Yao and I will not fall in love at a young age.” After Yuan Xiao finished speaking, everyone present stopped what they were doing.
“How is this a young age? Don’t worry, your uncle is very open-minded. He won’t make things difficult for you.” Wei Lan could not help but worry when she heard Yuan Xiao’s words.
If Yuan Xiao did not agree to be with Fang Yao, what if her daughter-in-law was snatched away?
“Yuan Xiao said that we’ll be together after we get into University A,” Fang Yao explained to his mother, but he saw Wei Lan looking at him with disappointment.
Wei Lan felt that Fang Yao was a little slow. When Yuan Xiao encountered more choices in university, what confidence did he have that Yuan Xiao would still choose him?
It seemed that she had to do something for Fang Yao’s happiness.
“Alright, but you guys have to perform well at this school gala. When the time comes, Auntie will give you a gift.” Wei Lan had a mysterious expression on her face. She had already begun to plan how to get Fang Yao and Yuan Xiao together.
After staying in the Fang residence for the entire morning, Yuan Xiao left to visit the Yuan Family couple.
Sun Li’s bump was getting more and more obvious. Yuan Ming was also very concerned about her, afraid that she would bump into something.
“Xiao Xiao, you’re here.” Sun Li smiled when she saw Yuan Xiao carrying a box of grapes. “Do you still remember that I like to eat grapes?”
“Mom, what are you talking about? How can I not remember?” Yuan Xiao walked into the house with a smile. The decorations here had not changed at all, but Yuan Xiao felt that it was a little unfamiliar.
“Where’s Dad?” Yuan Xiao asked naturally, but Sun Li was suddenly in a daze.
Seeing Yuan Xiao, Sun Li felt as if time had returned to the past. Ever since Yuan Xiao left, the entire house had become cold and cheerless.
“He has something to do at work and will be back soon.” Sun Li pulled Yuan Xiao’s hand and asked with concern, “Xiao Xiao, how is your life now? If you encounter any trouble, tell me.”
“It’s nothing. I’m doing well. Mom, don’t worry.” Yuan Xiao sat beside Sun Li and felt her holding her hand tightly.
“That’s good…” Sun Li’s voice was a little choked up. Ever since she got pregnant, Sun Li had become a little crybaby. She resisted the urge to cry and said, “Come home often if you have nothing to do. Your father has actually always missed you.”
“Alright, but it’s not fair to Yuan Wei if I come back often.” Yuan Xiao felt that Yuan Wei was probably distressed because of the child in Sun Li’s stomach. However, when she saw that Sun Li was sad, she did feel some comfort.
“What’s unfair about it? Just come home. Don’t worry about anything else!” Sun Li’s tone was a little agitated. She did not know when it started, but Sun Li had gradually lost her patience with Yuan Wei.
Yuan Xiao felt that something must have happened to Yuan Wei. Otherwise, Sun Li would not have such an attitude. After all, Sun Li had doted on Yuan Wei because of her previous predicament.
As the two of them were talking, they saw Yuan Ming rushing back from outside the house.
“Xiao Xiao is here!” As soon as Yuan Ming heard that Yuan Xiao was back, he hurried home.
“Dad, why are you wearing so little?” Yuan Xiao looked at Yuan Ming’s thin coat and could not help but say, “Even if you stay in the car, you have to wear thicker clothes. After all, you still have to get out of the car. Don’t freeze your body.”
Hearing Yuan Xiao’s nagging, Yuan Ming’s heart was filled with warmth. It had been a long time since he had interacted with his daughter like this. Although Yuan Ming did not say it, he actually missed this feeling.
