Chapter 515: Chapter 514: The Husband-Protecting Demon?

Chapter 515: Chapter 514: The Husband-Protecting Demon?

Ye Jinwen’s sharp eyes spotted Xiao Qimo and promptly waved his hand, “Qimo, we were just discussing your childhood passion for science, like that time Yun Sang climbed a tree to throw apples at you.

Hahaha, you were so silly when you were four!”

Hearing him talk like that, Xiao Qimo’s steps halted on the staircase.

Ye Jinwen didn’t notice his darkening complexion, and feeling emboldened by the presence of Xiao Huazun and Qi Zhen, he became quite casual in his speech.

“Qimo, don’t worry too much!

Little Mianmian just has that kind of physique; nobody can do anything about it.

But at least you’re on the right track now with pursuing your wife!

It’s a huge improvement from back when you went to all lengths to deceive that young lady into coming to Jinjing.”

Qi Zhen added indignantly, “I knew he was deceiving from the start!

I have no idea where your Qimo learned those bad habits, but his skills at lying and deceiving are elaborate.”

Xiao Qimo stood on the staircase, smiling as he watched Ye Jinwen.

Ye Jinwen sat on the sofa, and from his angle, he momentarily couldn’t see Lu Mian on the stairs, which is why he was joking like this.

After listening to him ramble on, Xiao Qimo continued down the steps.

Following behind him, holding his hand, was the slowly emerging Lu Mian.

The living room fell silent in an instant, as if muted, and the laughter stopped abruptly.

All that was heard were the soft footsteps of Xiao Qimo and Lu Mian as they descended the stairs.

It was Ye Jinwen who first snapped out of it.

His eyes widened in disbelief: “Qimo…

you two?!”

Xiao Qimo let out a cold laugh, “Our marital affairs are none of your concern!”

The crowd: “…”

Qi Zhen got up, somewhat surprised.

Ye Jinwen couldn’t sit still any longer and started hopping on the spot, stammering, “Th-this, this…”

Yun Sang and Xiao Huazun’s gazes also fell on the hands that the two held, one in front of the other.

Since Lu Mian had returned to the Xiao Family, this was the first time they had seen such an intimate gesture between them.

Who wouldn’t be shocked?

The two finally descended the stairs and approached the group of four.

Lu Mian greeted them lightly, and finally turned to look at Ye Jinwen.

Ye Jinwen snapped out of his fantastical daze at her gaze.

Lu Mian revealed a friendly smile.

“Yezi, Xiao Qimo knew about gravity when he was four.

Were you only laughing at him back then?”

“…” Ye Jinwen swallowed hard.

Was he being called out?

Lu Mian pursed her lips, “Also, he didn’t deceive me into coming to Jinjing; I came on my own volition.

And he didn’t deceive me into coming to the Xiao Family either; it was my own choice.”

Ye Jinwen: “…”

Ahhh, what’s going on?

Why has Little Mianmian turned into a fiercely protective wife after waking up?

Wait, what exactly happened?

Was he living under a rock?

After Lu Mian had explained, Xiao Qimo’s gaze towards her became even more tender.

As soon as the couple made their entrance, they fed those present a high-energy dose of PDA.

Just earlier they were discussing how long it would take for Xiao Qimo to catch up with Lu Mian.

Some guessed a year, some half a year, and some guessed forever.

Who would have thought he would make a comeback so quickly?

Yun Sang clicked his tongue, “Qimo, impressive!

You didn’t manage for so long, and now you’ve secured your position in just a few days.

I’m happy for you, brother!”

Xiao Qimo chuckled, “You played a part in this.”

Yun Sang suddenly broke out in goosebumps, damn, he’d been found out.

“My pleasure, my pleasure.

Being able to contribute to the happiness of you and Miss Mianmian, why wouldn’t I?

No need to remember me, I’m off to train upstairs!”

With a guilty conscience, Yun Sang hurriedly ran upstairs after his dry words.

“Yun Sang…”

Ye Jinwen pitifully reached out and called for him to come back.

But what greeted him was only Xiao Qimo’s calm, smiling, handsome face.

“…”

Little Yezi, realizing he had exposed someone’s shortcomings in front of everyone, instantly wilted and became sycophantic, “Little Mianmian, I beg you on my knees, save my dog life!”

Lu Mian: “…”

The girl helplessly shook her head, dealing with such a silly fellow.

“Forget it,” she said indifferently.

Xiao Qimo very cooperatively nodded, “As you wish.”

Ye Jinwen howled, unable to take it anymore.

“Brother Qi, Little Mianmian, I have things to take care of at home, I’ll be leaving first!”

He too vanished into thin air.

He had a premonition; their days ahead would be very colorful (brutal)…

Now, even the loving couple Xiao Huazun and Qi Zhen felt a little sour.

So it’s said that men aren’t unromantic, they aren’t clueless; it all depends on who the other party is.

Qi Zhen revealed a satisfied and triumphant smile.

“Qimo, take Mianmian to eat something.

I’ve been simmering a hangover soup all afternoon; it’s still warm in the pot.”

“Okay.”

Lu Mian shyly smiled at Qi Zhen, “Thank you, auntie.”

The two of them then went to the dining room.

Qi Zhen looked sentimentally at the perfect couple’s silhouette, feeling happier the longer she looked.

She quickly ran to the phone and dialed a number.

“Wife, who are you calling?” Xiao Huazun asked.

“Calling our dad, to share some joy with him.”

As Qi Zhen spoke, she connected with Xiao Qimo’s grandfather, Xiao Jianli’s phone.

.Co

“Dad, I have some good news to tell you!”

“What is it?” The voice on the phone was slow and unconcerned, as if nothing, not even the world falling apart, had anything to do with him.

Qi Zhen chuckled softly, “Your grandson is no longer single!”

“Him?” Xiao Jianli’s tone carried disbelief, “Has he finally accepted the one from the Shen Family?

Or the one from the Lei Family?

Or perhaps the Wa Family?”

He spoke slowly, recounting the girls who had pursued Xiao Qimo that he remembered.

Qi Zhen laughed: “None of them, he pursued her, a very impressive young lady.”

Qi Zhen never mentioned terms like family background or status from her mouth; she truly didn’t think those were things worth considering.

Xiao Jianli was the same, his slow tone speeding up a bit.

“Daughter-in-law, tell me, what kind of girl is this granddaughter-in-law of mine?”

Qi Zhen laughed heartily, “Her name is Lu Mian, she’s great at studying, and she can also play the piano.

And dad, this lady was able to pick out your calligraphy from over two hundred works in no time; now you know how capable she is!”

“Aiyo, that’s pretty impressive.

Even if Qimo went looking, he might not have found it so quickly.

Seems like my granddaughter-in-law is really a devoted fan of mine!”

“Dad, you might be a bit overconfident…” Qi Zhen smiled helplessly, bursting Xiao Jianli’s bubble, “It’s just that she’s rather intelligent, it has nothing to do with you.”

“I don’t believe it!

She must be my devoted fan!” Xiao Jianli was still quite confident but then changed the subject, “Right, then I can soon expect to hold my great-grandson or great-granddaughter, right…”

Qi Zhen became even more speechless, “That’s up to your grandson’s ability, he has only just won her over.

That kind of thing is still a long way off!”

The voice on the other end sounded slightly disappointed but was still laughing.

“Hahaha, you’re right, my grandson has many talents, but when it comes to chasing girls, he’s not so great.” Xiao Jianli recalled with a tsk-tsk sound.

“When he was little, I took him to another place, and a young girl saved me; he wouldn’t even deign to speak to her, awkward as hell!”
