Siheyuan: I just want to live

Chen Feng quickly cleaned the table spotlessly and neatly. At this moment, Lou Xiao'e also hurriedly changed her clothes and put on makeup in the backyard, and then ran over in small steps.

She looked so anxious as if there was a ferocious beast chasing her.

Seeing Lou Xiaoe in such a hurry, Chen Feng quickly spoke to comfort her: "Don't be so anxious, there is still plenty of time. Even if we are a little late, we can still make it in time for lunch!"

However, Lou Xiao'e did not slow down. Instead, she walked quickly and complained to Chen Feng incessantly.

I only heard her mumbling, "Oh, please don't say such things! After all, we are the younger generation, how can we let the elders wait for us? This is so rude!"

"And this is all your fault! If you had told me last night that you were going out to visit the elders today, I would have made preparations in advance. Why would I be so flustered and hurried like I am now?"

In fact, Chen Feng was muttering to himself that it was obvious that they had too much fun playing outside last night and fell asleep immediately after returning home exhausted, without giving him a chance to tell him about this matter.

But he knew very well that this was not the time to argue with a woman, so he wisely shut his mouth and didn't say another word.

So Chen Feng turned his gaze to Lou Xiao'e who was standing beside him, and asked with concern: "Where are Chen Yue and Chen Xiao? Have they come out yet?"

Hearing Chen Feng's question, Lou Xiao'e walked forward with light steps and responded: "It's out. I think it's already waiting for us in the car!"

Seeing Lou Xiao'e's answer, Chen Feng nodded slightly, indicating that he was relieved. He thought that as long as the two of them could come out and get on the car on time, they would be fine. He must not leave them behind at the last minute.

After all, the reason I brought them along this time was so that they would have a good connection and support when they do business in the mainland in the future.

However, just when Chen Feng was relieved, a scream suddenly came - "Ouch!"

It turned out to be Lou Xiao'e who was walking in front. She suddenly stopped and her face was full of panic.

Seeing this, Chen Feng also stopped in his tracks, looked up at Lou Xiaoe, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there something you haven't prepared yet?"

Hearing Chen Feng's question, Lou Xiao'e's originally pretty face was now filled with anxiety, and she spoke anxiously.

"This is the first time I've followed you to visit the elders, but you didn't even prepare a decent gift. What should I do?"

As she spoke, she stamped her feet anxiously, seeming to be very upset about her own negligence.

Hearing her words, Chen Feng's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a nonchalant smile, and responded lightly.

"Well, if you come with me, you will be my family, so why do you need to bring any gifts?"

After hearing Chen Feng's explanation, Lou Xiao'e's big watery eyes were suddenly filled with doubts. She frowned slightly and asked.

"Do you really not need to prepare any gifts? This is the first time I meet your elders, so please don't lie to me!"

"Of course there is no need to prepare!" After Chen Feng answered decisively, he said no more and walked forward on his own.

At the same time, he added casually, "It just means that we haven't got the marriage certificate yet."

"If you get the marriage certificate, you can come with me to pay New Year's greetings today. Maybe you can get a big red envelope that only a new bride can get when she changes her name!"

Chen Feng's joke was like a thunderbolt, instantly making Lou Xiao'e's face flush like a peach blossom. She stamped her feet coquettishly, unable to stand still any longer.

Then, she ran forward hurriedly as if her feet were on fire.

Just as she passed by Chen Feng, Lou Xiao'e suddenly turned her head, spat at him fiercely, and muttered softly in a low voice, "Bah! What a shameless and shameless old rogue, who wants to be your wife!"

Before she finished her words, she had already disappeared without a trace.

Chen Feng looked at Lou Xiao'e who was running away like a deer, and the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily. A faint smile instantly bloomed on his resolute face.

He shook his head gently and muttered to himself: "Hey! This woman, she is already this old, but she is still so shy!"

However, when he saw Lou Xiao'e walking further and further away until she disappeared from his sight, Chen Feng knew that he could not delay any longer.

He adjusted his pace slightly, and walked quickly towards the door as if the wind was blowing. After all, if he didn't hurry up, he would be late for the appointment to go to Old Man Li's house.

At the same time, Lou Xiao'e ran to the car with a blushing face. As soon as she got into the car, Jin Ling, who was sitting in the seat, immediately noticed her face, which was as red as a ripe apple.

Jin Ling couldn't help but wonder in her heart, secretly thinking, could it be that Chen Feng had dared to bully Lou Xiao'e just now in the yard?

Full of doubts and concern, Jin Ling quickly turned to look at Lou Xiao'e and asked, "Xiao'e, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong in the yard?"

Lou Xiao'e's heart tightened when she heard this, but she quickly responded calmly, "Oh, I... I'm fine! Nothing special happened in the yard!"

After saying that, she deliberately avoided Jin Ling's scrutinizing gaze, fearing that she would accidentally reveal her blushing face.

Jin Ling stared closely at Lou Xiao'e, who had been deliberately avoiding her gaze, and a sense of doubt and curiosity arose in her heart.

Lou Xiao'e's originally fair face was now flushed with a bright red glow like the sunset, which made Jin Ling feel that something was wrong.

So, she asked without hesitation: "What else can you do? Look at you now, your face is so red! How dare you tell me that everything is fine?"

As soon as Jin Ling finished speaking, Lou Xiao'e seemed to suddenly realize something. She subconsciously reached out and gently touched her hot cheek, and responded with a evasive look: "Is... is it? Is my face really red?"

Then, Lou Xiaoe seemed to be trying her best to hide her inner panic, and quickly found an excuse to explain: "Oh! Maybe it was because of the wind when I was jogging all the way here just now!"

However, Jin Ling did not believe a single word of Lou Xiao'e's obviously far-fetched explanation.

After all, she was not the kind of girl who had never seen the world, so she naturally knew that there was a world of difference between a face blown by the wind and a face that turned red due to shyness.

At this moment, anyone who saw Lou Xiao'e's helpless and shy look would understand that she must have become like this because of something that was difficult to talk about.

At this moment, Chen Feng walked slowly into the car with steady steps. His tall and upright figure appeared in front of everyone, as if carrying an invisible majesty.

After getting in the car, Chen Feng gently turned his body and glanced back with a sharp gaze.

Then, he opened his lips slightly and asked in a gentle but serious tone: "Is everyone here? If so, we'll set off!"

As soon as the voice fell, Chen Xi, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, immediately turned around with a bright smile on her face. Her bright eyes stared at Chen Feng, and she responded without hesitation: "Dad, everyone is here, all we need is you to drive us to Master Li's house!"

Hearing his daughter Chen Xi's affirmative answer, Chen Feng nodded with satisfaction, a barely perceptible smile on his face. He said softly, "Well, in that case, let's get ready to go!"

As he spoke, he skillfully stretched out his right hand and reached into his pocket, trying to take out the key that could start the vehicle.

However, just as Chen Feng was about to take out the key to restart the van, an accident happened.

There was only a "snap" sound, and a slender hand gently patted Chen Feng's broad shoulder. Chen Feng was startled, subconsciously stopped what he was doing, and turned his head to look.

It turned out that Jin Ling, who was sitting in the back seat, was looking at him curiously and asked, "Chen Feng, do you know why Xiao'e's face turned so red?"

After hearing Jin Ling's words, Chen Feng responded almost without any hesitation: "I know!" His tone was relaxed and natural, as if he had already had a plan for this question.

Seeing Chen Feng express so quickly and affirmatively that he knew the answer, Jin Ling couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Then she raised her slender eyebrows slightly, revealing an expression mixed with curiosity and doubt.

Then, she opened her red lips and asked, "Do you know? Why is that?" Her words were full of inquiry.

At this moment, Chen Feng was about to open his mouth to explain the reason, but he only said the beginning - "Of course it's because..."

He was interrupted by a sudden cry. This cry came from Lou Xiao, whose face changed slightly and she quickly shouted, "Don't say it..."

Unexpectedly, just as Jin Ling finished speaking, the voices of Chen Feng and Lou Xiao'e rang out at the same time.

However, what they wanted to express were completely contradictory. Chen Feng obviously wanted to continue to tell the truth, while Lou Xiao'e seemed to have unspeakable concerns or hidden secrets and was determined not to let Chen Feng finish his words.

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little subtle, and everyone in the car looked at the three of them.
