Chapter 533 Overseas Relations
Xie Chang'an gave the man, who was still chattering away, a cold glance, took a step back, and slammed the door shut.
Luo Ning's lips twitched. Didn't they even ask? They just kept people at arm's length like that.
Well done!
This fits the image of the Cold King of Hell. The clingy boy who's always by her side is a complete departure from her usual persona; she can't even bear to look at him.
"Wife, let's go take a shower." Xie Chang'an took Luo Ning's hand and walked towards the bedroom.
Our... Boss is going wild again, and Luo Ning is a little flustered.
The foreigner stared at the door, his face filled with disbelief; his enthusiasm had been dealt a severe blow.
He shouted incoherently, "Biao Mei, Wo Shi Ni Biao Guo!"
Xie Chang'an and Luo Ning had already entered the space. Luo Ning went to the warehousing company. Xie Chang'an overheard them but pretended not to hear.
My cousins are very sensitive. They used to be able to get married, but Xie Chang'an just dumped that foreigner!
The next morning, Xie Chang'an, filled with resentment, opened the door. He had failed again the night before.
Moreover, he was kicked off the bed by Luo Ning, which was an utter disgrace.
Xie Chang'an secretly vowed that he must recover as soon as possible and avenge his previous humiliation.
Liu Aihong walked into the courtyard with a brisk pace, "Chang'an, is Daya awake yet?"
"Get up!" Luo Ning came out of the main room, munching on an apple.
Liu Aihong quickened her pace, and the mother and daughter met victoriously at the gate.
"Da Ya, your aunt is back, and she brought her son, a foreigner. Don't cook breakfast, come eat at my place."
"Huh?" Luo Ning was slightly taken aback. She really did have overseas connections!
It turns out that the foreigner was her cousin; poor thing, he was turned away by Xie Chang'an.
Liu Aihong pulled Luo Ning outside, saying, "Your aunt has heard about you in Jidu and has been talking about you a lot. Chang'an, you're here too."
"Yes!" Xie Chang'an responded, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.
The news about Jidu is spreading like wildfire. If Aunt Luoning were to hear about it...
When he arrived, Luo Ning had already reunited with her aunt and cousin, and they were having a lively chat.
Luo Ning beckoned Xie Chang'an over and introduced him with a smile, "Auntie, this is my husband, Xie Chang'an, an active-duty soldier."
Xie Chang'an stepped forward and greeted him politely.
Bai Xi smiled and nodded. "I've long admired your name. Thank you for the pleasure of meeting you, Battalion Commander!"
Xie Chang'an's heart skipped a beat. Although Bai Xi's smile was very friendly, it didn't reach her eyes.
Luo Ning was being led around by her foreign cousin, Petra, and didn't notice this detail.
The three—aunt, niece, and siblings—chatted animatedly, but Xie Chang'an couldn't fit in and quietly left.
Luo Ning glanced back casually and found Xie Chang'an was gone, so she made an excuse to leave.
A short while later, Luo Ning found Xie Chang'an chopping wood in the backyard. "Why aren't you inside?"
"I suddenly feel like working! You go back and keep your aunt company!" Xie Chang'an replied while chopping wood.
Luo Ning narrowed his eyes slightly, stepped forward and grasped Xie Chang'an's axe. "Are you angry?"
"No!" Xie Chang'an shook his head; he was just a little flustered.
His new wife won't let him get close to her, and now an elder who isn't very friendly to him has come along. Plus, his marriage application was intercepted. If he doesn't do something, he'll start overthinking.
Although Xie Chang'an seemed to be fine, Luo Ning could keenly sense that he was in low spirits.
Luo Ning stroked Xie Chang'an's cheeks with her right and left hands. "Chang'an, we are husband and wife. If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Each person is not a single individual; they have not only family ties but also friendships that accompany us throughout our lives.
But there's another kind of love. No matter what, you'll always be number one in my heart, do you understand?
Xie Chang'an felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He took Luo Ning's hand and kissed it. His wife's words made him feel no awkwardness at all.
Luo Ning felt the gaze behind him and quickly withdrew his hand, his face flushed as he walked back. "Chang'an, stop chopping wood, wash your hands and eat."
"Hmm..." Xie Chang'an watched Luo Ning's retreating figure, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
Someone was watching them from the room just now, and if he wasn't mistaken, it should have been Luo Ning's aunt.
Xie Chang'an stacked the chopped firewood on the woodpile, washed his hands, and went back to eat when he heard Bai Xi's teasing.
"The young couple has such a good relationship, being so affectionate even in broad daylight. However, the social atmosphere in China isn't that open these days, so Aning, you should be careful! Besides, your son-in-law is a military officer, so his image is very important."
"I understand!" Luo Ning replied, blushing. Seeing Xie Chang'an approaching, she immediately went to serve the rice.
Xie Chang'an walked quickly to the dining table, sensing something different in Bai Xi's kind intentions.
Luo Ning placed the porridge in front of the empty seat next to her and casually picked up a fried egg and put it in Xie Chang'an's bowl.
Xie Chang'an walked over, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.
His wife's actions warmed his heart, and he no longer felt like an outsider who couldn't fit in.
Liu Aihong and Luo Baiwan were used to their interactions and were happy to see them.
Ling Wei ate with a smile, secretly thinking that Bai Xi was like the Queen Mother of the West, a meddlesome old demon who was always interfering in everything.
My sister and brother-in-law are both married and newlyweds. What's wrong with them being affectionate behind each other's backs? My uncle and aunt don't care, but she's the one who's making a fuss, making my brother-in-law unable to stay at home.
She doesn't like that old devil!
Bai Xi lowered her gaze, concealing the glint in her eyes.
Luo Ning has deep feelings for Xie Chang'an, and things are a bit tricky.
Pete was full of praise for the food on the table, only knowing how to eat, and was completely unaware of the undercurrents at the dinner table.
After a seemingly harmonious breakfast, Luo Baiwan went to work.
"Mom, Aunt, Chang'an and I are going to work at the workshop!" Luo Ning winked at Xie Chang'an, and the two went out together.
Xie Chang'an felt uncomfortable here; she could tell.
Moreover, he was so cold that when you poked him, the food on the table felt chilly, like you were eating a cold meal.
She should take Xie Chang'an, that cold-blooded devil, away; it would be better for everyone.
Her biological mother and her aunt have known each other since childhood and have a good relationship. After not seeing each other for many years, they must have a lot to talk about.
Actually, she felt a little awkward, since that was the original owner's aunt, not her.
However, since she was in the original owner's identity, it wouldn't be right for her not to have a few awkward conversations with the original owner's aunt.
Pete followed without hesitation; he was curious about everything here.
Moreover, after their conversation, he discovered that Ninth Sister's English was excellent, and he felt as if he had found his tribe, so he was determined to gravitate towards it.
Mom can do whatever she wants, but Ninth Sister must not be lost.
Following Pete's siblings, Luo Ning is the ninth in line, so Pete simply calls her Ninth Sister.
Half an hour later, Luo Ning couldn't stand Pete's verbal bombardment any longer. He chattered like a sparrow, driving her crazy, and she kicked him to Xie Chang'an.
Xie Chang'an calmly took the ball that Luo Ning kicked to him and left with Pete.
At Luo Baiwan's house, Bai Xi and Liu Aihong chatted idly.
"Sister-in-law, Luo Ning just came of age, why did she get married? She should have stayed home for a couple more years to keep you company."
Liu Aihong sighed inwardly. It was only because Daya wanted to elope with the man with the rooster-like haircut that her father was in such a hurry to marry her off.
This was not something that could be discussed with her sister-in-law, so Liu Aihong simply smiled and agreed.
"I heard that Xie Chang'an is already 28, ten years older than Aning. This marriage..." Bai Xi hesitated, but her meaning was already clear.
"Auntie, what's for lunch..." Ling Wei suddenly wheeled herself out, looking completely bewildered.
Bai Xi's attention immediately shifted to Ling Wei, and she inexplicably found her a bit of an eyesore.
