âErâ¦â Rong Lihuaâs mouth twitched. It wouldnât be nice to call her auntie, right?
âHello, Auntie Shen. Auntie Shen looks so young. She shouldnât be 35 yet!â
Xue Yating smiled and greeted her. Her beautiful eyes were sparkling.
An Xianming lowered his head and looked at Xue Yating. He knew that her mind was filled with weird ideas. Now when she didnât even use vulgarities when insulting others.
No one could tell the hidden meaning behind her words. Just by looking at her performance, they would think that she said it because she was innocent.
Huh⦠Innocent?
Xue Yating was not innocent! She was best at pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger!
ââ¦â
The word âauntieâ almost made Shen Ranran vomit blood. This wretched girl was deliberately mocking her age.
She wasnât young anymore, but she wasnât even 30 yet!
She really didnât know if she was really innocent or just pretending to be stupid. In short, Shen Ranran really hated this girl called Xue Yating!
Seeing that Shen Ranran was silent, Xue Yating suddenly realized something and asked Rong Lihua, âOh, right, Madam! This Miss Shen is the daughter of the Shen family that you mentioned this morning, right? Didnât you say that you wanted to introduce Auntie Shen to my uncle? Since everyone is here now, why donât you just ask directly?â
Xue Yating put on an innocent look and asked An Xianming, âUncle, do you like this Auntie Shen? Are you willing to marry her?â
It was an awkward question. Shen Ranran had never thought that she would have to face An Xianming in person. She waited for his answer and her heart almost stopped.
What would he say?
Rong Lihua secretly blamed Xue Yating for being so meddlesome. How could she directly ask such a thing in public?
If her son directly rejected it, wouldnât that be equivalent to slapping the Shen familyâs face?
In order to let Xue Yating understand his feelings, An Xianming answered in front of everyone, âRanran and I have always been friends. At most, I treat her as my sister. In my heart, she is just like Tongtong.â
As soon as she said this, Shen Ranran could hear the sound of her heart breaking as if someone had ruthlessly stomped all over it.
Her dignity and pride had been thrown to the ground by the An family today.
At this moment, it was as if An Xianming had directly rejected her. This made her feel extremely embarrassed.
After An Xianming finished speaking, he said to his mother, âMom, Iâll take Tingting upstairs to change her clothes before coming down to eat.â
After they left, Rong Lihua quickly came over to comfort Shen Ranran. âRanran, donât worry too much! My Xianming actually doesnât think that way. Heâs just embarrassed to say it in front of you.â
An Zhitong also emphasized in time, âSister Ranran, no matter what, I think highly of you and my brother! In my heart, Iâve long treated you as my sister-in-law!â
Shen Ranran was so angry that her heart was trembling, but she still pretended to be fine on the surface. She forced a smile and said, âThank you, Tong Tong, and Auntie, for your comfort. Iâm not worried. I know Xianmingâs character. Heâs the type who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Heâs good to Tingting because he watched her grow up. I really envy Tingting.â
Shen Ranran had already learned some things about Xue Yating and An Xianming from Rong Lihua. She knew about their relationship. That kind of intimate relationship was something she really envied.
âWhatâs there to be jealous about? They are uncle and nephew. It wonât affect anything.â
âYes, I know. I hope to be someone who can help Xianming in his career. Thatâs enough.â
