Chapter 1168

Su Yang also paid a visit to Liu Long, bringing along three imperial-grade beast pets' eggs—after all, having married the man's daughter, he still had to show a little token of respect.

Su Yang went to the Liu family and received an enthusiastic reception from the entire Liu household.

Liu Mengyun's parents were so satisfied with Su Yang that they could not have been more satisfied.

Then, Su Yang invited Liu Long and his wife, the head of the Liu family, as well as the Southwest Military General Qin Pengcheng, Emergency Brigade Captain Yao Xing, Ma Wenhong, Zhu Xiaoshuang, and Hao Ren to a dinner.

By evening, after the guests had all left, only Su Yang, Liu Mengyun, Zhang Xiuru, and Su Xiaoxiao—the family of four—remained in the living room.

Upon learning that her brother had gotten married, Su Xiaoxiao felt a little uneasy inside.

She felt as if her brother had been snatched away!

But she quickly recovered under Liu Mengyun's barrage of gifts.

Her brother was nearly nineteen, indeed at the age when he should be settling down.

Besides, her sister-in-law was Liu Mengyun, and Su Xiaoxiao's impression of Liu Mengyun was still quite good.

Add to that so many gifts, and Su Xiaoxiao felt her sister-in-law was very generous—better to her than even her own brother…

So Su Xiaoxiao wasn't that sad anymore!

Su Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and said, "Sister-in-law, when are you going to give me a little nephew?"

Liu Mengyun smiled and said, "Well then, Xiaoxiao, do you have someone you fancy? You're almost sixteen now, aren't you?"

"I'm not in any rush!"

Su Yang glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, who was a little shy and slowly lowered her head, and keenly sensed that something seemed off with her.

"Xiaoxiao, do you have a boyfriend?"

Su Yang looked toward his mother.

Zhang Xiuru shook her head, indicating she didn't know either.

"Xiaoxiao, do you have a boyfriend now?"

Unable to withstand the "pressure" from Su Yang, Zhang Xiuru, and Liu Mengyun, Su Xiaoxiao finally said, "…There is one, I guess!"

"Silly girl, how many were you hoping to have?" Zhang Xiuru scolded with a laugh. "Where is your boyfriend from? Can you bring him home for your mother to meet?"

Zhang Xiuru had toiled for most of her life, raising her son and daughter on her own. Now that Su Yang had become a Federation General, she could not have been more content—she smiled happily every single day.

She was now enjoying her twilight years, and her only wish was to see both her children settled down, and to hold a grandchild and an outer grandchild as soon as possible!

She was overjoyed that her son had gotten married, and then she turned her gaze to her daughter.

"Um, let me ask him!"

Su Yang also felt a little uncomfortable about Su Xiaoxiao having a boyfriend.

After all, the family's precious cabbage had been uprooted by some unknown pig… naturally, he wasn't pleased.

But he also knew that his sister couldn't remain unmarried forever.

If his sister liked someone, then he, as her brother, had to support her!

"Can you tell your brother what his name is?"

"His name is Qin Xingchao!"

"How did you two meet?"

"He often comes to our academy to visit my mentor, and over time, we got to know each other…" Su Xiaoxiao said. "My mentor's research focuses on fire-element beast pets, and she's quite well known in the Southwest. Many military experts come to visit her!"

Su Xiaoxiao was a thorough insider through connections.

The Southwest Military openly and covertly looked after her; the mentor arranged for her, Chen Ying, ranked among the top five in academic research in the Southwest, and held no small standing within the entire Huaxia Federation.

Su Yang asked curiously, "Surname Qin? Is he from General Qin's family?"

A young man who could visit Su Xiaoxiao's mentor and receive guidance—how could he have no background at all?

Living in Changwu City and surnamed Qin, the first person Su Yang thought of was one of Qin Pengcheng's descendants.

"Yes!" Su Xiaoxiao nodded. "A while back, he told me he's from the Qin family, that General Qin is his great-grandfather, and that he's also awakened a Beast Tamer talent. But his talent isn't very strong, so he isn't highly valued within the family…"

"Oh!"

Su Yang nodded.

He began to figure out whether Qin Pengcheng knew about this.

Or whether it had been arranged by him in the first place!

Don't blame Su Yang for being suspicious—he simply had a lot on his mind.

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly asked, "Brother, you're not going to do anything, are you?"

"Why would you think that about your brother?" Su Yang said, speechless. "You dating—what does that have to do with me? Just stick to the bottom line and you'll be fine!"

"That's good, I understand!"

Hearing Su Yang's answer, Su Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

She had always trusted her brother; since her brother said he wouldn't interfere, then he definitely wouldn't!

She was afraid her brother would look down on her boyfriend.

There was nothing for it—her brother's achievements were simply too great; even her mentor wore an expression of deep respect whenever she mentioned her brother!

Many people who knew her brother seemed to feel pressure when interacting with her!
