"No...... Dad, that's not the case. ”

He said slowly: "It's not that I'm dissatisfied with this marriage, and it's not that I'm dissatisfied with Bai Artemisia or my father. Artemisia is always thinking about me, so I am more grateful than her feelings. Other than that, I ...... with her"

Speaking of this, half a sentence came to an abrupt end. Dongfang Shiming was stunned, and at the same time, the truth of the heart that flashed by by the sentence slipped into the depths of his heart again.

Both father and wife looked up. But Dongfang Shiming's eyes were slightly confused, and it was only when he came into contact with this problem under the persuasion of his father that he suddenly realized the real crux of his heart.

Previously, whenever he thought of the marriage with Bai Artemisia, which seemed to be implicated, he would always unconsciously avoid it. He always felt that he didn't care about the relationship between men and women, but what really made him avoid it was the shame that was deeply seared in his blood.

The Dongfang family and the Bai family are both the three major families of Sheng Pingtian. And all this should have nothing to do with him.

The self he consciously identifies with is still an ordinary self from Shigu Ferry. His thoughts naturally contradict the bloodline of unknown origin, and his feelings for the Dongfang family are already complicated, not to mention the daughter of the Bai family with the same status.

Especially when I saw the Bai family's love for Artemisia, it seems to have widened the gap between this inner self-demarcation. His background is like a broken duckweed, even if he has an Oriental family to live in, how can he hope to climb high?

This distance will always overshadow all ingenuity. This body is full of contradictions, and those old memories always make him reluctant to face these things, once he thinks of them, he would rather be simpler or return to the Shigu Ferry.

“…… That's fine. ”

There was silence for a few moments, but he was still slow to speak.

"Dad, you should rest assured. After all, I have only known Bai Hao for half a year, so we need to know more about it. Dongfang Shiming smiled, "It's not as complicated as you think, I know it myself." ”

Hearing this, the head of the family and his wife nodded. The head of the family also thought for a moment, and then smiled: "That's not bad. Ahem...... Alas. Don't think I'm asking these things to make you feel annoyed, if your eldest brother is more concerned about this matter, I shouldn't be pinning my hopes on you now, hehehe. ”

Dongfang Shiming smiled: "The eldest brother is waiting for a woman who is suitable for him, and this kind of thing can't be forced." ”

"Yes, yes." The head of the family raised his hand and gently stroked Dongfang Shiming's hand on his shoulder, "Talking to children but always being educated by children, my father, it's really difficult to be in his place, hehe." ”

Dongfang Shiming and his wife were laughing. The head of the family looked at his son and his wife, and suddenly said, "Well, there is one more thing this time. ”

"What's the matter?" Dongfang Shiming asked.

Following the slowly rising eyes of the head of the family, Dongfang Shiming found that his father pointed to his wife not far away.

"I know you can't force this on you."

The wife also sensed the intention of the head of the house, her face changed slightly, and she unconsciously wanted to bow her head. Dongfang Shiming listened to his father's speech quietly, like a still lake.

"So I thought, let's change your name to a decent one, you can't go on like this forever." The head of the family took a deep breath and continued, "Her surname is Huang, from now on, if you call her Huang Niang, it should always be better to listen to and be called; Now Shiming has also called my father, who is a member of the regular rules of the Dongfang family, so you can call him the young master according to the previous title. ”

Although this kind of name is weird, it is always easier to say than the two of them calling each other mother and son. Dongfang Shiming realized his father's good intentions, and his heart was warm.

"You guys, just call each other in front of me." The head of the house said, "I can rest assured of this." ”

Dongfang Shiming looked at his father's wife, paused slightly, and then whispered, "...... Huang Niang. ”

Huang Niang's face was also a little excited. She immediately responded, turned her head and said, "Young master." ”

When Dongfang Shiming heard this, he always felt like he was stabbing in the back. He is not suitable for the title of "young master", let alone being called so by his father's current wife. But since my father didn't think there was a problem, he didn't care.

"Abi is your sister, I know that she has a lot of bad personality, but I still hope that you are willing to communicate with her more and tolerate her more." My father said, "When you are on good terms, I will ...... I can rest assured. ”

Dongfang Shiming understood what his father meant, and nodded in agreement with ease. Huang Niang seemed a little ashamed, and was silent for a moment before saying, "Abi, I didn't teach her well...... I'll talk to her. ”

"Huang Niang doesn't have to blame herself." Dongfang Shiming exclaimed as naturally as possible, "It's still because I suddenly arrived as a stranger, which made her a little difficult to accept." I'll find a way to get along with her. ”

"Ah...... Good. ”

Huang Niang then lowered her head.

The head of the house looked up at the window paper in silence and realized that it was noon. He broke the silence in the room: "Okay, let you rub my shoulders here for so long, it's time to rest." Let's go out for a walk, wait for lunch, and remember to come back. ”

Dongfang Shiming then got up and said goodbye to his father and Huang Niang. Pushing the door out, the courtyard has become a lot quieter.

The bright lanterns, red silk cloth and spring couplets peach charms in the courtyard look particularly festive and lively. Oriental poetry walked through the pavilions and pavilions, aimlessly following his heart.

Fang Cai's father finally untied the knot in his heart, and he also breathed a sigh of relief. Only now, he seems to feel truly accepted by this family, and all the warmth here has become within reach.

I ran into the eldest brother by chance, but he seemed to be still busy, directing the various subordinates in the family to be busy, and he was also doing it himself. Dongfang Shiming stood in the corner where the eldest brother couldn't see, stopped quietly for a moment, and turned to leave.

The façade of the Oriental family is very large, and the feeling of clan is especially obvious during the Chinese New Year. In addition to his familiar father, eldest brother and others, relatives and family members who had seen and had never seen before also gradually appeared in this huge patio at this moment.

After a few greetings, Dongfang Shiming gradually turned to the place where there were few people. After moving away from the human voice, Dongfang Shiming stepped over the snow that had not yet completely melted on the path, and heard a familiar sound again.

"Huh!"

With a crisp and immature call, a "boom" sound came at the same time.

Dongfang Shiming took a few steps forward and stood behind a clump of dry begonias. The figure in front of me can be seen is her sister Dongfang Bi and the teenager who accompanied her.

I had never looked closely before, but this time I looked at the place where the two of them couldn't see it, and Dongfang Shiming had a new perspective on the two of them.

The young man was a few years older than Dongfang Bi, and he seemed to be one or two years younger than himself. He has a good look and excellent archery skills. It seems that he is instructing Dongfang Bi in archery.
