Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 514: Elder Ji’s Request
Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Elder Ji’s Request
Xiao Chen dried her hair and glanced at the time.
"Sister Yue, it’s time to rest."
Yun Yue: "?! It’s only ten o’clock, still early."
She planned to stay up late tonight to finish designing this module.
"Really?" Xiao Chen glanced at her computer screen, it was even a few minutes before ten, then he suddenly asked, "What time do you consider late?"
Yun Yue didn’t know what he was up to and cautiously remained silent.
"If I remember correctly, you haven’t slept for two days," Xiao Chen said bluntly as he shut down her computer.
Yun Yue hadn’t reacted yet when she was lifted and placed on the bed.
"Xiao Chen..."
Her words were blocked by his lips, extremely rough.
Yun Yue: "..."
Isn’t this supposed to be sleeping?
What kind of sleep is this?!
...
The next day.
The phone vibrated violently; Yun Yue opened her eyes, her brows knitting in irritation.
She picked up the phone and answered, Cang Leng’s cold voice came through: "Boss, the Underground Alliance is making moves."
She had instructed him to keep an eye on the Underground Alliance and report back to her immediately if there was any activity.
With her arm over her head and eyes closed, Yun Yue silently for a few seconds then spoke softly, "Find out what they’re up to."
"Okay," Cang Leng responded, feeling her voice a bit oddly hoarse.
He always felt the Underground Alliance was up to something big.
After hanging up, Yun Yue threw her phone on the bed carelessly and walked to the bathroom.
Standing in front of the mirror, she saw numerous marks on her collarbone and slightly narrowed her eyes.
Wow.
Just shy of one last step, he had done everything else.
...
Xiao Chen took off his apron and saw the girl in pajamas coming towards the living room.
He stepped forward, looked at the kiss marks on her collarbone, his gaze deep, a smug smile in his eyes, "Do you want to eat the preserved egg and pork congee now?"
"Yes, I need to go to the hospital later," Yun Yue walked towards the dining room.
Yun Yue drank half a glass of water, and Xiao Chen brought the congee over.
He sat opposite Yun Yue, sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and the top two buttons of his shirt undone.
Yun Yue’s gaze followed his movements, noticing the scratch marks on his arm and the bite marks on his shoulder.
Xiao Chen seemed to notice her gaze. He looked up at her and deliberately asked, "Do you like biting me that much?"
Yun Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, "It’s mutual."
Her fingers slightly hooked her collar, "All your handiwork..."
Xiao Chen saw those marks, his eyes deepening, and he spoke with a smile, "Pretty good."
Yun Yue: "..."
Xiao Chen’s gaze moved from her collar downwards, sweetened the corner of his lips, and spoke frivolously, "If it wasn’t for the fact that we haven’t gotten our marriage certificate yet, you wouldn’t be able to get out of bed today."
Yun Yue: "..."
Yun Yue almost choked on her congee.
When had he become so blatantly shameless?
She glared at him then lowered her gaze and picked up the spoon to eat her congee.
But in Xiao Chen’s eyes, it meant he hadn’t satisfied her yet and he needed to double the efforts.
After finishing their meal, Xiao Chen drove her to the hospital.
Uncle Xiao and Aunt Qiong were already there, she glanced at the person beside her.
"Yueyue and Xiao Chen are here, look at these two, such a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, truly a match made in heaven." Jiang Qiong said with a smile.
"Don’t be silly, my Yueyue is still young, she’s not marrying anyone." Lin Xiang looked at Xiao Chen warily, fearing that he would take Yun Yue away.
Xiao Chen: "..."
Suddenly, he felt a pang in his heart.
"?!!"
Jiang Qiong and Xiao Jingchang glanced at each other, what was going on?!
Both of them cast questioning looks at Yun Yue and Xiao Chen.
Yun Yue gestured for them to stay calm.
"Um, not marrying." Yun Yue smiled, continuing Lin Xiang’s words.
Only then did Lin Xiang nod in satisfaction and handed her a peeled pomelo, "These are all peeled by mom herself, they are especially sweet."
Yun Yue ate one, and it was indeed particularly sweet, prompting her to eat a few more pieces.
After chatting for a bit more, Jiang Qiong and Xiao Jingchang left. Before they left, Yun Yue went out to see them off.
"Yueyue, what did Lin Xiang mean just now? She disagrees with your marriage to Xiao Chen again?" Jiang Qiong looked worried, hadn’t the dowry already been accepted?
Yun Yue chuckled lightly, "She’s ill, and she doesn’t remember some things and people now, Aunt Qiong, no need to be so nervous."
"What illness, is it serious?" Jiang Qiong asked with concern.
It was Xiao Chen who told them, Lin Xiang was hospitalized in Beijing, which is why they had come to see her, but they were not clear about the nature of her illness.
"Brain degeneration leading to memory disorder, but it doesn’t affect her life."
Hearing this, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Qiong eagerly said, "I don’t care, you are still my Xiao Family’s daughter-in-law."
Regardless of Lin Xiang’s readiness, she was determined to accept Yun Yue as her daughter-in-law.
"How come I didn’t know that my Ji Family’s direct granddaughter has become your Xiao Family’s daughter-in-law?" Ji Xian, leaning on a cane, walked over with a stern and majestic demeanor.
Jiang Qiong: "?!!"
She turned around, shocked to see Ji Xian, and said with a laugh, "Oh, Elder Ji, you must be joking. The marriage agreement between Xiao Ji and our families was set more than twenty years ago."
Jiang Qiong smiled without really smiling as she looked at him, silently cursing the old fox in her heart.
"Marriage agreement? Wasn’t it annulled?" Ji Xian feigned ignorance, "It was you who agreed in the first place, and Xiao Chen signed the agreement."
Xiao Jingchang turned his head towards her, when had the marriage agreement between Xiao Ji and their families been annulled?
Jiang Qiong: "..."
Indeed, a classic case of shooting oneself in the foot. At that time, although she also doubted Yun Yue’s identity, Ji Xian seemed not to recognize Yun Yue at all, acting utterly indifferent to the matter, making her think he had verified Yun Yue’s identity.
Who would have guessed that Yun Yue truly was Wen Jun’s daughter!
She had been outwitted by this old man.
Such a cunning old man!
Jiang Qiong, feeling her teeth itch with annoyance, looked at Ji Xian with a gloomy expression, "Then, sir, please tell us what should be done."
Ji Xian postured, "My precious granddaughter has only recently been recognized, and I want her to stay by my side for a few more years. We won’t consider marriage."
Jiang Qiong: "... but you’ve got to think about it, a few years will pass in the blink of an eye."
Thinking about it for a few more years, fearing you might change your mind!
"Besides, look around all of Beijing, the only one worthy of your precious granddaughter is my son."
Ji Xian raised an eyebrow, "Really? Both young men from the Gu Family are also not bad, age suitable, and there’s also Elder He’s grandson..."
Jiang Qiong: "Just speak straightforwardly."
Had it not been for meeting him on the first day, she might have actually believed his nonsense.
Ji Xian glanced over at someone who appeared disinterested and then said helplessly, "Well, well, it seems that my granddaughter has indeed taken a liking to your Xiao Chen."
Jiang Qiong: "... It’s Yueyue’s good taste. Please tell us how you are willing to let your precious granddaughter marry into the Xiao Family."
For the sake of the daughter-in-law, she was all in.
Considering all of Beijing, many daughters from prestigious families wished to marry into the Xiao Family, but none were indeed like Yun Yue.
Despite the complicated relationship with Wen Jun, she genuinely liked Yun Yue and wanted her as the Xiao Family’s daughter-in-law.
"For my Ji Family’s granddaughter, the three Letters and six Etiquettes, three matchmakers six betrothals gifts, and a grand bridal sedan... nothing less." Ji Xian’s stern and majestic eyes stared firmly at Jiang Qiong and Xiao Jingchang.
