Chapter 25: Father-in-law

An Xiabai buried her head in Lu Li's arms, and the position she was standing on happened to be facing away from Mo Simin, so she couldn't see the person behind her, but Lu Li could see it clearly.

Mo Simin's talkative and atmospheric atmosphere during the restaurant made him have a good impression of her: "Your friend seems to have come to look for you." ā€

What kind of friend, no one said they were going to come to her.

An Xiabai raised his head, followed Lu Li's line of sight with a slightly surprised gaze, and happened to see the back of Mo Simin turning away. The two of them were friends, and Mo Simin's temperament was unusually active, so she chased after her without thinking too much: "Wait for me." ā€

Mo Simin didn't intend to disturb the world of the two of them, but when he turned around, he heard Lu Li's voice.

The footsteps involuntarily stopped, and then smiled at An Xiabai, who caught up: "Oh, I was going to walk away quietly, I didn't want to disturb the two of you, but I didn't expect Mr. Lu to see me so much." ā€

"How did you get here?" An Xiabai took her hand, and the depressed mood in her heart was swept away.

"When I went to look for you at your stall today, I found that you were not there, so I went to Gejia Restaurant, but I got the news that you went home first. Listen to the small vendor on the side say that your stall seems to have someone making trouble today? Mo Simin shook it back and said with a concerned expression, "I'm really worried about you, so I'll come and take a look." ā€

Mo Simin's gaze wandered over An Xiabai and Lu Li, and he made a relieved expression and smiled: "I'm relieved to see that you're okay." ā€

It feels so good to be cared for, An Xiabai's heart warmed, and he pulled Mo Simin in the direction of his house: "It's rare to come over, just stay and have a meal before leaving." ā€

Mo Simin was frightened enough by the sudden birth just now, where did she dare to enter the door of her house, and excused herself several times, saying that she still had something to go back.

"Madame doesn't have many friends, Miss Mo is the most special one among her friends, really don't you go in the door and sit down and rest for a while?" Lu Li asked softly.

An Xia Bai nodded in response: "Why don't you go in and sit down, it just so happens that I just made dinner." ā€

Mo Simin's heart beat a little hard, and he shook his head again and again: "Since we are all friends, if you want to entertain me in the future, there is a chance, don't worry." I really have something at home that I can't delay, so I still won't go in. ā€

Now that the words have been said for this part, An Xiabai is not easy to persuade again: "Since you have something at home, we will not keep you, and we will entertain you well when you come over next time, and I will prepare your favorite wine and food at that time!" ā€

People are sincere to themselves, but they are worried about the people beside her, which makes Mo Simin feel guilty.

"Madam," Lu Li wrapped his arms around An Xiabai's waist and whispered in her ear, "If you don't go back, the food will be cold." ā€

An Xiabai suddenly remembered that Father Su was still in the house, staying with Liu's mother and daughter, and he didn't know if he would be embarrassed!

Because of the worry in her heart, she couldn't care about anything else, and after taking Lu Li's hand and saying goodbye to Mo Simin, she hurried to the direction of home.

What she didn't notice was that after they left, Mo Simin stood still for a while.

It wasn't until they were out of sight that she pursed her lips and turned back in the direction she had turned.

"Why is it so coincidental that I actually met Miss Mo?"

When passing by the oncoming people, Mo Simin suddenly heard a familiar voice, raised his eyes, and saw a son in brocade staring at her with a smile, and was puzzled in his heart, and heard her name again.

"I'm Ruqing, Miss Mo still remembers me, right?" Childe asked with a smile.

It turned out to be her!

Mo Simin's sorrow was swept away, and Liu Mei raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you here, a dignified mountain bandit leader dares to walk around the city at will?" ā€

"Why don't you dare, I haven't done anything hurtful, and occasionally goes out for a walk, but I happen to meet someone who is trapped by love." Ruqing blinked, and glanced inadvertently in the direction where Mo Simin came, and raised her eyebrows.

Mo Simin was stunned for a moment, and retorted: "Don't talk nonsense, no one is trapped by love at all!" ā€

"If it weren't for the love trap, how could Miss Mo not recognize me when she passed by me?" Ruqing still remembers the heroic appearance of her waving a horsewhip when they first met, and she looks like two people now.

Sure enough, feelings make people stupid.

"I—I'm just looking away!" Mo Simin said stiffly, and her precautionary heart made her subconsciously reach out to touch the long whip on her waist, but found that she was in too much of a hurry and didn't bring it at all.

She could only frown and stare at Ruqing dissatisfied, telling her to be careful when she spoke.

"What are you afraid of, does the wall have ears?" The more she reacted, the more interesting Ruqing became, and she couldn't help but want to tease her.

"There are not many residents on this road, I basically know them, the old man is definitely not something you will look up to, and you will not do it if you are too young, it seems that the only possible object is Lu-" Before Ruqing's words could be finished, Mo Simin's slender and white hand covered her mouth, and said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense!" ā€

This reaction, like a fried cat, is more and more against Ruqing's speculation.

Ruqing raised her eyebrows and smiled, pulling her hand away: "I guessed right." "

The words were affirmatives, and Mo Simin knew that he couldn't hide it, so he gave up struggling: "I don't want to either, it's just a momentary temptation!" ā€

Ruqing's gaze turned in the direction of the Lu family, and her hand gently patted Mo Simin's shoulder: "If I'm not mistaken, the wife of his family doesn't seem to be a simple person, you'd better adjust your mentality as soon as possible." ā€

Mo Simin replied sullenly, half-lowering his eyes.

On the other hand, Lu Li and An Xiabai didn't know that they were being remembered, they just walked to the door.

An Xiabai was worried about Father Su, so after entering the door, he went straight to the living room, only to see that Father Su was the only one sitting in the huge living room, and Liu and Liu Caiyue had long since disappeared.

"What about them, they didn't embarrass you, did they?" An Xiabai hurriedly asked.

Father Su shook his head, saying that he was sitting well and had nothing to do, as for the mother and daughter, they rushed back to their room to pack their luggage and go out soon after An Xiabai and Lu Li went out, and now they don't know where they are.

It is estimated that he is afraid that he will confess to Lu Li, and after he comes back, the husband and wife will jointly deal with them, so let's run away first.

An Xiabai couldn't see them, but felt a better mood: "If you leave, you can leave, and they will stay at home in the province to affect their mood." ā€

"It's cheaper for them." Lu Li was still thinking about what they were embarrassed about An Xiabai, if they hadn't run away, he would have made them more uncomfortable.

He is finally on his side, and it is not in vain that he has just poured out his heart and lungs.

An Xiabai's mood has never been happier, after all, the person he likes is by his side, and the person he misses is also by his side, so what else can he ask for in life.

"Okay, don't worry about them, let's sit down and eat first." An Xiabai said, pressed Lu Li to the position, went to look at the food on the table, and found that the food was cold, so he decided to heat it up again: "You wait for a while, I'll be back soon." ā€

She went to the kitchen with the food, and only Lu Li and Su's father were left in the living room, and Su's father was a little restrained.

"It won't affect you two if I live in your house, right?" Father Su asked.

He is a middle-aged man with kind eyes, even if there are traces of vicissitudes left by the years on his face, it still makes people feel good about him at first sight when they see him again.

What's more, he is still one of the few relatives of An Xiabai, and Lu Li became more and more respectful: "It's okay, the huge courtyard usually lives with my wife, and many people are also more angry, but I don't know what you always call it?" ā€

At this moment, An Xiabai returned to the living room with a hot meal, and when he heard Lu Li's question, he subconsciously said, "Dad." ā€

Lu Li was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted to who she was calling, and hurriedly called out to Su's father respectfully and father-in-law.

Didn't his wife live with his brother and sister-in-law after both parents died, where did a father pop up?

Not only Lu Li, but even Father Su himself was stunned, but when An Xiabai called him, he still subconsciously responded.

"What do you call me?" Father Su's eyes couldn't help but feel a trace of sourness.

The sentence she shouted just now was completely instinctive, after all, Father Su was her father who had been called her for more than ten years, and the habit could not be changed by changing her body.

An Xiabai jumped and accelerated in the center of the two pairs of scorching sights, and simply broke the jar and said: "Anyway, I don't have a father and mother, seeing that you feel cordial, you can't help but want to be close, why don't you recognize me." ā€

It turned out that this was the case, Lu Li put his mind at ease, and hurriedly stood up to An Xiabai to speak for her: "Meeting is also fate, why don't you recognize my wife, and you can also pick up a son-in-law for nothing, it is definitely not a money-losing deal." ā€

Father Su was originally a little hesitant, but when he saw An Xiabai raising his face and staring at him pitifully, the hesitation turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared.

He also thinks she's kind, so it's better to admit it.

Father Su finally nodded, which meant that she would be able to call his father openly in the future, An Xiabai felt happy, and the smile in her eyes became deeper and deeper.

"Daddy, please bow to your daughter." She knelt down and knocked her head three times in succession on the ground.

Lu Li also kowtowed three times with her, and the two of them also gave tea to Su's father.

Father Su's eyes were shining with tears, but his mouth was smiling: "You don't need to be polite, get up quickly, if you toss it again, the food on the table will be cold again." ā€

The family looked at each other and smiled, the atmosphere suddenly became lively, they sat down one after another, An Xiabai personally sandwiched his favorite dishes for Su's father, and piled his bowl as high as a hill: "I remember that these dishes are all what my father likes to eat, try them while they are hot." ā€

Father Su smiled and nodded, picked up the dish she sent and put it in his mouth, and nodded again and again: "It's still the same taste, but you don't seem to have marinated it long enough, and the dish hasn't tasted yet." ā€

An Xiabai carefully wrote down every word he said, nodded with a smile and said that he would definitely improve next time.
