Duan Wei pursed her lips and said with a hint of guilt: "I'm sorry."
How could Ruan Qi make her future mother-in-law apologize? She quickly waved her hand and said, "I was too focused on watching and didn't notice the sounds from the outside world. Auntie, have you just come back from outside?"
Duan Wei nodded lightly.
"I went to the outskirts of the city with Lao Jiu's father and bought some free-range chickens. You are usually too tired from work, so soup made from free-range chickens is the most nourishing." Duan Wei said, glancing at the sketchbook on the ground without trace, "
What were you doing just now? Where is Lao Jiu?"
"Jiujiu has gone to do some work. I was reading this notebook just now." Ruan Qi said, squatting down to pick up the sketchbook.
But Duan Wei was one step faster than her and picked up the sketchbook.
Seeing that Duan Wei had picked up the notebook, Ruan Qi was too embarrassed to reach out for it again. She scratched the tip of her nose in embarrassment and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Jiujiu to be able to draw. I didn't even know he had this skill."
Duan Wei said 'hmm', "He taught himself when he was a child. He used to draw a lot, but he hasn't done much in the past year."
After saying that, she raised her eyes, her phoenix eyes lightly scanned Ruan Qi's face, and asked calmly: "What do you think of Lao Jiu's painting after reading it?"
"Ah, this..." Ruan Qi scratched her hair in embarrassment, "I haven't had time to see it yet."
Duan Wei's hand that tightly squeezed the sketchbook calmly relaxed.
She put the sketchbook back into the drawer, "Dinner is almost ready, let's go down to eat first. Let Lao Jiu draw it for you when I have time."
Ruan Qi will naturally not refuse what her future mother-in-law says.
She helped Duan Wei close the drawer, and then Duan Wei held her hand and left the bedroom together.
The bedroom door slowly closed behind you.
At the last second when the door crack closed, Ruan Qi suddenly turned her head and looked at the drawer containing the sketchbook, her eyes dark.
…
Xi Xiaoran and Duan Wei returned home, adding a bit of popularity to the quiet mansion.
Not long after, Xi Jiu's aunt Xi Xiaoyun also came back.
Everyone had not seen Ruan Qi for a long time. When they saw the little girl, they all surrounded her enthusiastically and asked questions.
By the time Xi Jiu came down from upstairs after finishing his business, Ruan Qi had already been captured by Duan Wei and Xi Xiaoyun, one on the left and the other on the right.
Duan Wei was not good at words, so she sat on the left side of the little girl and kept feeding her snacks. Xi Xiaoyun loved chatting, holding the little girl's hand and mumbling endlessly.
As the client who hugged her from left to right, Ruan Qi didn't feel uncomfortable at her boyfriend's house at all. Her future mother-in-law on her left hand, and her future aunt on her right hand, were enjoying themselves and enjoying themselves, and were so happy.
Xi Jiu looked at this scene and inexplicably felt that her position in Ruan Qi's heart was in jeopardy.
Even before they got married, his mother and aunt were already occupying the little girl.
If he gets married in the future, the sisters-in-law are not allowed to kick him out of the house and stick to the little girl 24 hours a day?
Thinking of this possibility, Xi Jiu's eyes darkened. He tugged on the collar of his shirt and walked towards Ruan Qi.
Ruan Qi, who was chatting about entertainment industry gossip with Xi Xiaoyun, noticed Xi Jiu's figure out of the corner of his eye and immediately looked towards him with a smile.
"Jiujiu, are you done?"
Xi Jiu said "hmm" and walked around the coffee table to Xi Xiaoyun.
"Sister-in-law, give up your position."
Xi Xiaoyun finally met Ruan Qi once, but he hadn't talked enough yet, so he was not willing to leave.
"No!" She decisively refused her eldest nephew's request, "I finally met Xiao Qi once, so you can stay here."
"..."
Xi Jiu was silent for a moment and then looked up at Duan Wei.
But as Bingshan's mother, Duan Wei can only be more iceberg than Bingshan. She didn't even look at her son, she lowered her head and cracked walnuts for Ruan Qi, her attitude of rejection was very clear.
Xi Jiu: "..."
Xi Jiu never expected that he would defeat many love rivals outside, but he would stumble at home.
He can take action against his love rival. But now he can neither touch his mother nor his aunt, let alone hit them.
The breath around the man's body became visibly lowered.
But Duan Wei and Xi Xiaoyun acted as if they didn't notice, and surrounded Ruan Qi on the left and right, leaving her no time to even talk to Xi Jiu.
Xi Jiu stared at the three of them for a while, then silently walked to the single sofa opposite and sat down, as if he was a loyal wolf abandoned by his master.
Ruan Qi couldn't help feeling a little distressed when she saw him like this. Just as she was thinking about comforting him, Duan Wei brought the peeled walnuts to her mouth.
Ruan Qi quickly opened her mouth and ate the walnuts.
"Thank you, Auntie, it's delicious~"
Duan Wei said "hmm", wiped the walnut crumbs off her hands, and said abruptly: "Don't believe that men are miserable, they have a lot of drama."
Ruan Qi: "?"
Xi Jiu: "..."
Duan Wei did not accept her son's dark gaze, opened a bottle of lactic acid bacteria and handed it to Ruan Qi, saying calmly: "You can't always spoil men when you are in love. The more you spoil them, the more you go too far. If you agree to him sticking to you today, tomorrow he will
They will interfere in everything you do, and in a few days they will even go to great lengths to lock you in at home and not let you go out. We are all adults and should have our own space. How can we give each other 24 hours a day?"
Ruan Qi listened carefully and nodded thoughtfully.
"..." Xi Jiu's face almost froze.
He looked at Duan Wei coldly, trying to evoke a hint of maternal love from Duan Wei with his eyes.
But Duan Wei's heart was as hard as iron and she continued to say to Ruan Qi: "Although Lao Jiu is my son, I have to say something fair - there are really a lot of male dramas in the Xi family. When his father chased me back then, he pretended
He resorted to all possible means to treat his illness. The most egregious one was that he pretended to be lame, put plasters on both legs, and even bought a pair of crutches. He miserably lied to me and took care of him for a month."
"And the old man, when he was chasing Lao Jiu's grandma, he was miserable. He went for winter swimming in the middle of winter, hoping to catch a cold and trick Lao Jiu's grandma into coming to see him. But he is an ancient warrior, and his physique is so good that it can get cold in the cold.
He swam in the river for six hours at 20 degrees Celsius and ate several ice creams, but his nose didn't even run. Guess what he did in the end?"
"How, how did you do it?" Ruan Qi's mouth twitched.
Duan Wei's eyes flashed with a smile, "The old man bought six hot water bottles, filled them with hot water and stuffed them into the bed. He forced himself to burn himself to a fever of forty degrees, and successfully tricked Lao Jiu and his grandmother into sleeping with him at home.
One night."
Ruan Qi: "..."
What are these big grievances?
Ruan Qi really didn't expect that Mr. Xi and Uncle Xi, who looked serious, could be so good at pretending to be sick.
Is this a family trait?
She couldn't help but raise her head and look at Xi Jiu sitting opposite.
Xi Jiu: "..."
At this moment, Boss Xi suddenly understood the meaning of the term "pig teammate".
It’s just that you can’t guard against your own mother.
His grandfather and father are his biggest stumbling blocks on the road to love.
