Chapter 152
In the afternoon, although Xiao Yuanning still wanted to cling to Ye Jinmeng, he also knew his limits and bid farewell before reluctantly leaving the Ye Family home.
After returning home, Xiao Yuanning sat on the sofa hugging a pillow, pouting with a resentful expression.
Xiao Yongze came out of the study and went downstairs to fetch some water. He couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene, "Hey, son, what's the matter? You went to the Ye Family and yet you don't look happy?"
Xiao Yuanning grumbled, "Dad, can you talk to Uncle Ye and have Sister Meng come live with us?"
Xiao Yongze, holding a glass of cool white drink, sat down beside Xiao Yuanning. He took out his phone, found Ye Junli's number, and handed it to Xiao Yuanning, "Here, call your Uncle Ye yourself."
Xiao Yuanning took the phone and was about to actually dial the number when Xiao Yongze reminded him, "Your Uncle Ye dotes on Sister Meng like she's the apple of his eye. If you're not afraid, go ahead and call."
Xiao Yuanning pursed his lips, turned off the phone, and tossed it aside, refusing to talk to Xiao Yongze anymore.
"No, what happened at the Ye Family today that has you acting like this when you came back? Tell Dad, let me see if it's funny or not," Xiao Yongze said as he turned his son around to face him.
"Today when I went to the Ye Family, I thought only Sister Meng and Sister Wan Wan would be there, but I didn't expect Shu Ning and Old Brother Ting to be there too. Hmph, Shu Ning took advantage of being Sister Meng's official boyfriend and kept showing off in front of me. He was so childish, what a pity for Sister Meng to be with such a pig!"
As he spoke, he angrily punched the pillow.
Xiao Yongze couldn't help but laugh, "That's it? Hahaha!"
"Dad, what are you laughing at?" How is that funny? He had clearly lost spectacularly!
Xiao Yongze ruffled his son's hair, "Why do you care so much about a young couple's affairs? It's perfectly fine for them to show affection. Why are you so jealous?"
"Dad, take Sister Meng as your daughter-in-law, then I'll be Shu Ning's brother-in-law, and he won't dare act up in front of me!"
A hint of sadness flashed in Xiao Yongze's eyes, but he quickly concealed it. "Good son, don't think nonsense. Although Shu Ning may not be as steady, he's not a bad guy and knows to work hard. We're outsiders, so we shouldn't meddle too much in other people's affairs, understand?"
"I've found you a new school. I'll send you there next week." With that, Xiao Yongze got up and returned to his study.
Xiao Yuanning watched his father's back and sighed.
Although it was quickly concealed, he had caught that fleeting moment of sadness.
Although his parents had never mentioned it in front of him, he had always known that he had an older sister.
Once when he was young, he had overheard his parents' conversation outside the study, apparently celebrating someone's birthday.
He had hidden outside the study door, listening to the sounds inside. His mother said, "Xiaoxiao, today is your 10th birthday. Are you doing well in heaven? You haven't even visited Mom in a dream, so I don't know if you've found a new mother."
His father said, "Xiaoxiao, after a few years when Dad returns to the country, I'll definitely avenge you. In your next life, you must grow up safely and be a carefree little girl."
Although not even seven years old, the precocious Xiao Yuanning quickly understood everything - that sister must have passed away long ago.
He wanted to ask his parents about it, but knew he couldn't reopen their wounds, so he pretended not to know anything. From then on, every year, he would quietly hide outside the study door and join his parents in celebrating the birthday of his unseen sister.
After returning to the country and meeting Sister Meng and Sister Wan Wan, it was a coincidence that they shared the same birthday as his sister, which gave Xiao Yuanning a sense of closeness.
Especially Sister Meng, he felt like he could see his mother's shadow in her. Xiao Yuanning thought that if his sister were still alive, she would probably be as lovely as Sister Meng.
Xiao Yuanning gave a wry smile. Perhaps he had projected too strongly, truly treating her like a real sister, wanting to protect and dote on her.
But ultimately, she wasn't...
On the other side, Ye Jinmeng was pinned against the bedroom wall by Shi Shuning, who had his arms braced on either side, trapping her tightly in the middle.
Ye Jinmeng was a flustered little deer, dizzy from repeatedly hitting the wall. Oh no, she was pinned against the wall~
"Does Meng like Younger Brother Yuanning, or does she like Brother Shuning more?" Shi Shuning's magnetic voice went straight into Ye Jinmeng's ear, making her heart race.
"Of course I like Brother Shuning." As she spoke, she couldn't help but slip her hands under his shirt.
Shi Shuning grabbed her hands, "Do you like me as a person, or are you just lusting after my body?"
Ye Jinmeng swallowed hard, "Both..."
Shi Shuning couldn't help but laugh, "What if Younger Brother Yuanning had an even better physique than me? Would you like him or me then?"
Ye Jinmeng's brows furrowed slightly, "Brother Shuning, I only like you. As I've said, he's just my idol and younger brother to me. I don't have any improper thoughts about him."
She raised her arms to hug his neck, "Brother Shuning, I don't know why, but I just want to indulge him. Maybe it's because I really want a younger brother."
But since her parents wouldn't give her one, she of course grabbed an existing one to dote on as her little brother.
Fearing Shi Shuning wouldn't believe her, Ye Jinmeng raised three fingers, "Brother Shuning, I swear, I really only like you. Xiao Yuanning is just a younger brother to me, I absolutely have no improper thoughts. Otherwise, may I be struck by lightning if I'm lying..."
Shi Shuning directly kissed her lips, sealing the curse she was about to utter back into her mouth.
The two kissed passionately, unwilling to part. Ye Jinmeng took the opportunity to slip her hands under Shi Shuning's shirt and caress his abs.
Shi Shuning was nearly driven wild by her touch, and hurriedly grabbed her hands to stop her bold actions.
"Brother Shuning, something in your pants pocket is poking me..."
Ye Jinmeng went limp in Shi Shuning's embrace, trying to reach into his pocket and remove whatever was poking her, but he caught her hand. "Don't move..."
Ye Jinmeng froze, looking up at Shi Shuning's face with a dazed expression.
"There's nothing in my pants pocket..." Shi Shuning explained awkwardly.
It took Ye Jinmeng two seconds to realize what he meant, and her face immediately turned beet red.
"Bro...Brother Shuning, you... you're being indecent!"
Shi Shuning: ...After all, who was the first to act like a rascal?
"Ahem, I'm going to take a shower..." Shi Shuning didn't argue either, and immediately turned around and ran back to the guest room to take a shower.
Watching his flustered retreating figure, Ye Jinmeng chuckled, opened her wardrobe, and took out a men's suit.
Indeed, it was the men's suit Ye Jinmeng had designed for "Starry Sea".
She sneaked quietly into Shi Shuning's room, left the clothes on his bed, and left a note.
"I used my blah blah blah energy to create this suit, a gift for my dearest Shu Ning!"
