C98 Intentionally Provoking
As soon as she entered, Zhao Jingjing pulled Pei Luoluo to the side and excitedly asked, "Sister Ms Pei, how is my big brother treating you? Why did you lose weight again? When did the two of you want a baby?"
Pei Luoluo's heart instantly felt stifled when she heard this explosive question tone. She opened her mouth and closed it again. She stared with her eyes wide open and smiled at Zhao Jingjing.
"Alright, alright. You can be mysterious then. Anyway, after I finish my work here, I will go and find you! I can't run away. " Zhao Jingjing pulled her into the house, while Xiao Yichen sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted with Xiao Haozhe. Seeing Pei Luoluo walk over, Father Xiao was very enthusiastic. He pointed to the seat beside Xiao Yichen and said, "Luo Luo, come and sit!"
Pei Luoluo nodded respectfully and sat down. Zhao Jingjing ran to Xiao Hui's side to eat fruit and looked at Pei Luoluo and laughed.
Pei Luoluo felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles on the sofa and saw that they all had something to do. But she sat there blankly. If she wanted to go to the kitchen to help, she would have to tell Xiao Yichen. However, he couldn't take his phone or pen, so he couldn't say anything. He could only continue to sit quietly.
"Why isn't Sister-in-law saying anything?" The one who spoke was the mysterious silver-masked man who had just come down from upstairs. He was wearing a dark brown suit that looked rather formal today.
The moment he opened his mouth, he went straight to Pei Luoluo. His light blue eyes looked at her leisurely, and there seemed to be a smile in his eyes.
Pei Luoluo felt that this feeling was very special. She had a sense of familiarity and felt that this man in front of her seemed to have seen him somewhere before. But no matter how hard she searched in her mind, the appearance under the mask was still a mystery.
"What do you want her to say?" Xiao Yichen said coldly. At the same time, he put his arm around Pei Luoluo's shoulder and leaned into his arms. However, his eyes were still extremely cold.
Pei's mother looked up and could only see Xiao Yichen's side profile. Even if it was just a small arc, she still felt that it was so beautiful and charming.
She quietly leaned in Xiao Yichen's arms. Traces of warmth pressed against her heart. At this moment, a sense of security came from the head closest to her heart, and the fragrance of the cigar lingered around her.
"Not greeting seems to be rude. I don't have anything to say. I'm afraid the elders here don't think so, right? " The masked man narrowed his eyes. His tone was filled with disdain and contempt.
Pei Luoluo was startled and subconsciously shrank her body in a somewhat nervous manner.
As if he also felt Pei Luoluo's uneasiness, Xiao Yichen frowned slightly. He stretched out his hand and held Pei Luoluo's slender hand tightly. His sexy and bewitching thin lips slightly parted, "In terms of politeness, compared to your deliberately covered face, it is much more polite. Who is more impolite?"
Immediately, she felt that the atmosphere was not quite right and the smile on Father Xiao's face was also indifferent. Xiao Hui was also stunned for a moment but in the next second, she pulled Zhao Jingjing, who was about to speak again, to the side.
Only Pei Luoluo looked at Xiao Yichen and subconsciously pulled his hand. An uneasy feeling rose in her heart and became stronger and stronger.
Last time, she felt that Xiao Yichen and Xiao Yimo's relationship was very bad. Furthermore, their parents did not seem to interfere in their matters. They did not speak of good or bad things and would even turn a blind eye to it.
This had become a knot in Pei Luoluo's heart about the Xiao family. Furthermore, it was very obvious that Xiao Yimo did not like her sister-in-law.
Xiao Yimo snorted coldly, turned around and walked to the side hall alone. It was like a temporarily decorated restaurant. The equipment was complete and the lights were brighter than even the main hall. It was a silver cup. The clean and flawless tableware was neatly and extravagantly placed on the rectangular glass table.
There, several maids were busy. The banquet on the table seemed to be almost ready and was already filled with rich dishes.
Xiao Feng was the last to go downstairs. Everyone in the hall stood up. Xiao Yichen quickly stepped forward to support him, but Pei Luoluo hurriedly took a step ahead of him.
That kind of scene was like a couple fighting over the same thing, and then the wife won and smiled at her husband. It was unknown whether it was because she was embarrassed or because it was too hot in the room.
"Hahaha, Yichen, your wife is really interesting!" Xiao Feng grinned and laughed. The calm and cold Master Xiao actually opened his heart and laughed!
Usually, people who lived in smaller families would pay attention to the location of their meals. The one with the highest status in the family was sitting at the highest seat, which was also the main seat. After the main seat was confirmed, the person with the highest status in the family sat on the right of the master, which was the first host's seat. Next was the second host's seat on the left side of the main seat. After the three main characters were confirmed, the rest of the people started with the second host's seat. They slowed down along the direction of the hour until they got close to the first host seat. Only then would it be called the "last seat."
In other words, next to Xiao Feng's seat should be Xiao Yichen's parents, Xiao Haozhe and Ouyang Qing. Next would be Xiao Yichen, Xiao Yimo.
However, Xiao Feng pulled Pei Luoluo to the seat beside him and sat down. The person who had already taken a seat and was ready to sit down suddenly did not know how to sit down.
"Feel free to sit. It's not that particular!" Xiao Feng sent a message and Xiao Haozhe pulled Ouyang Qing to sit on the left side of Xiao Feng. Xiao Yichen sat beside Pei Luoluo. Only Xiao Yimo sat the furthest away. There was no one on either side of him. It seemed like he had deliberately distanced himself from all of them.
Xiao Feng looked at Xiao Yimo deeply, then turned to Pei Luoluo and said softly, "Luo Luo, don't be shy. This will be your home from now on. It was fine. He would come back often to see his grandfather. His grandfather was old. One less person to talk to. They are all too busy. "
As soon as the voice faded, it caused a strong dissatisfaction. Xiao Hui held the knife and fork with both hands and said with some displeasure, but she still calmly said, "Dad, I stay at home every day to accompany you. It was you who ignored me. Why would you tell an outsider that you are alone and old? Aren't you making things difficult for Hao Zhe and me? "
Pei Luoluo was a little speechless. Was this family eating like this every day? She had only eaten with them three times in total, except for the first time when she had a fever and fainted. These two times, she had seen it clearly. This was a big family. It was not harmonious at all.
"Aunt, grandpa only said that because he likes sister-in-law. What are you angry about? Besides, is sister-in-law an outsider? " Xiao Yimo spoke up for Pei Luoluo for the first time, but his' help 'was too obvious. His words hit two vital points, and Xiao Hui's face immediately darkened.
"Hahaha, alright, alright. It is true that I like this granddaughter-in-law. Xiao Hui, I believe that you will also like her in the future. Right, Jingjing? " Xiao Feng straightened his body and looked at Zhao Jingjing with a profound look.
Zhao Jingjing felt her hair stand on end when Grandpa Xiao looked at her. She had never thought that her grandfather would look better when he did not smile. She hurriedly pecked at him like a chicken pecking at rice. She nodded and her eyes were round and round.
