Chapter 612: Chapter 600 Xia Xi Returns Home

"I’m just trying to save you all some time, spare you from wasting it. While my words may sound unpleasant now, would you rather wait until Qingqing is deeply in love with Yan Mo, only to be rejected and left devastated?

You and Lin Song fell in love naturally. Just put yourself in Qingqing’s shoes, if you liked Lin Song but he didn’t like you back, how would you feel?" The old master Xia didn’t have much patience for his pale-faced daughter-in-law.

Feeling a bit insulted by his words, Song Qin’s face flushed a shade of red, before turning pale again.

But she wasn’t a fool, she considered his hypothetical situation and had to admit it was indeed hard to accept.

"Dad, I understand. I will try to talk to her," Song Qin replied after a while.

"Don’t keep harping on about it. Qingqing is already spoiled by you all. The more you forbid her from doing something, the more she insists on doing it. You can try to reason with her, or let her approach Yan Mo on her own. But warn her if she resorts to underhanded means, I won’t hesitate to kick her out. The Xia family can’t afford to lose face like the Bai family, being mocked by everyone." Master Xia said sternly, looking at Song Qin.

"I understand, dad," Song Qin said, feeling a bit frightened by the serious gaze of the old man.

"The same goes for all of you. If anyone dares to do something shameful, especially for something as frivolous as love, don’t blame me for disregarding familial ties." The old master’s gaze shifted to Xia Yu and the others of his generation.

"We understand, Grandpa," Xia Yu and the others nodded in agreement, promising to heed his words.

Xia Yue was completely unaware of what was going on downstairs.

"Phew, good thing I got away quickly, or else I would have been dragged into the lecture as well," Back in her room, Xia Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Marriage, birth, illness, and death, these are things all humans have to go through, it’s perfectly normal," Dragon Lord Ao Ye said, looking at her.

"Marriage isn’t as free as you think, especially when it involves alliances between families. Divorcing isn’t as simple as walking away when it’s not working out. We must consider many interests at stake," Xia Yue shook her head.

"Humans are like that, unlike me who is carefree," Dragon Lord Ao Ye said proudly, thinking about his own past exploits.

Xia Yue didn’t dare to refute him, after all, their viewpoints and environments were quite different.

Time quickly came to the evening of the twenty-ninth.

Xia Xi returned to the old house quite late, looking quite rushed.

Knowing when Xia Xi was supposed to return, Xia Yue had been waiting for her.

It was almost midnight when she returned.

"You’re finally back," Xia Yue said as she saw Xia Xi.

"I had a small incident to deal with, so I rushed back straight after without even getting changed," Xia Xi laughed as she saw Xia Yue.

"Hurry up and wash up. I’ll go to the kitchen and warm up your dinner. Come down when you’re done," Xia Yue nodded, urging her to go freshen up.

"Alright," Xia Xi didn’t stand on ceremony.

Once she finished cleaning up and came down, Xia Yue told her, "Go to the Dining Hall, I’ll bring out your meal for you."

She brought Xia Xi straight to the Dining Hall and asked her to wait while she went to fetch the food.

"Where’s your dragon? Isn’t he going to eat too?" Xia Yue asked.

"Mo Si is fasting, he doesn’t need to eat," Xia Xi simply shook her head.

"Oh, in that case, go ahead and eat," Xia Yue nodded and sat across from her, watching her.

Not wanting to stand on ceremony, Xia Xi started eating right away. She was really hungry after all.
