Chapter 453: Are You Being Urged?

~8 min read 1,436 words

Fang Hong smiled, "Look at me, being so sentimental today."

It was originally a happy matter, yet I even had to have someone else guide me; it really shouldn't be this way!

An Yinan smiled, "How could that be? My Big Aunt is such a career-oriented, strong woman!"

Fang Hong tapped her on the nose, "Only you know how to flatter."

"Actually, I just shook my head not because I think they have no chance, but because none of us can get involved; it's better to let the two of them decide for themselves."

"One is my An Erge, and one is my friend. Both of them are impeccable in character and temperament, so we can only let them spend time together and see if their personalities mesh."

She hoped the two of them could be together.

Li Xiu'e needed a warm home.

And the Yun Family was just such a warm home.

"That's true, we shouldn't interfere, let the two children spend time together without any burden." Fang Hong understood and nodded quickly.

Liu Xicai looked at Nan Nan, "You girl, you're not very old, but you certainly understand a lot."

"When are you planning to have children? I'm about to retire." Liu Xicai brought it up once again.

Previously, she had those children ask, and in the end, she was put off by Chen Xun.

Now that Chen Xun is back, let's see what you little girl will use to put me off this time?

An Yinan looked at Liu Xicai, "Big Aunt, how old am I? Why don't you let my sister have a second child?"

Liu Xicai, such an elegant woman, actually rolled her eyes, "The two of you, neither of you listens to me."

"I told her to have a second child, and what did she say? Busy, busy with training, busy with missions, busy with training new recruits."

"Fine! She just has no time to have children."

"Now that she wants to give birth, can she even do it?"

"The country restricts childbearing; they can only have one!"

Speaking of this, Liu Xicai became angry!

She didn't know why the mother-in-law had such a good temper and didn't urge these two troublesome girls!

She couldn't even sit still; every time she called, the mother-in-law would comfort her, and now she didn't even have the face to see her.

An Yinan wanted to laugh but didn't dare.

It seemed that Big Aunt's resentment hadn't accumulated in just a day or two.

This was because she saw there was no hope for the eldest sister, so she started urging her instead.

"Don't think I can't tell you want to laugh." Liu Xicai, who had just kept a straight face, couldn't help but laugh at this moment.

She tapped An Yinan on the forehead, "You hurry up!"

An Yinan nodded, "Understood."

She didn't dare to provoke Big Aunt now, otherwise, she would be wiped out of existence directly.

"Are you being urged?" Fang Hong looked at Nan Nan with amusement.

An Yinan looked at her second aunt, "Sigh, life!"

"Your Big Aunt hasn't truly started urging you to give birth yet; you can slowly experience it." Fang Hong looked at her smiling appearance and thought of herself back then.

An Yinan looked on; there was gossip here.

"Second Aunt, don't tell me you were also urged by Big Aunt to have children?" An Yinan asked in disbelief.

Fang Hong nodded, "An elder sister-in-law is like a mother!"

However, she was also very grateful to her sister-in-law; when she was so busy she couldn't even touch the ground, it was her sister-in-law who helped her take care of the children and also bore the burden of the elders.

Their second branch could only come to visit during holidays, and every time she offered money, her sister-in-law wouldn't take it at all.

She respected her eldest sister-in-law, and it wasn't without reason.

"It seems I really need to prepare." An Yinan rubbed her brow.

On the other side, Yun Qi rode his bicycle with Li Xiu'e out of the Military District Compound; Yun Qi could see her restraint, and he wouldn't push too hard.

"You don't need to be so nervous; I'm just expressing my attitude." Yun Qi thought for a moment and said to Li Xiu'e.

"At the Southern Front, you saved me. At the time, I didn't know if it was my heartbeat, or because of that bullet, or because the person who saved me was you." Yun Qi thought for a moment; it was hard to imagine that one day he would be saved by a female hero.

That time he went to the Southern Front to deliver supplies, they were ambushed by the Southern monkeys in the middle; if Li Xiu'e hadn't appeared, they wouldn't have had a Medical Team and wouldn't have been able to reach the City, and he didn't know what would have happened.

"Later, when I returned to Beijing, I would think of you from time to time and dream of you." Yun Qi thought for a moment; he was a man in his thirties, and during that time, it was as if he had lost his soul.

"I felt like a young boy experiencing love for the first time; I would be distracted, I would feel lost, and I would want to know how you were doing." Yun Qi was very frank, laying his emotions directly before Li Xiu'e.

It wasn't that they hadn't met before, but it hadn't been able to stir his heart.

Ever since that time, he wanted to be close to her.

"This is my most honest feeling; you don't need to feel burdened."

Yun Qi locked the bike on the side of the road and took her for a walk by the river, watching the clear river water and the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the woods.

"I'm telling you because I want to be honest; I don't want to miss out just because I don't know how to express myself."

"And you have the right to choose. When you get annoyed or meet someone who moves your heart, you can also tell me directly; I won't continue to pester you." Yun Qi smiled, and that smile was very bright.

The sun shone on his face, and this person seemed to be plated with a layer of golden light.

"What are you looking at?" Yun Qi didn't hear a reply from the person beside him; he turned his head to look and found her staring at him blankly.

Was there something wrong with his face? He wiped it silently.

Li Xiu'e smiled and turned to look at the river.

"I met Nan Nan when I went to the countryside." Li Xiu'e didn't look at him, her voice was very calm, carrying a sense of indifference to favor or humiliation that was unique to her.

"When I first met her, I thought this girl must be hard to get along with; if I had to use one word to describe it, it would be 'sharp-edged'."

"Later, through little bits of contact, I realized that all her softness was reserved for her own people."

"I don't know when it happened, but we grew closer and closer, making me not want to be like before, hypocritically accommodating others."

"I moved out of the Educated Youth Courtyard."

As Li Xiue spoke, her mind was filled with the days when she went to the countryside, the life back then, the relationships back then, and the happiness of understanding nothing back then.

"Later on, she got married and went to the Northeast Military Region. Although we were so far apart, we still worked hard together, striving to get into university."

Her voice was low and soft, like the water in a river, not hurried in the slightest.

"However, that winter after the College Entrance Examination had too great an impact on me." Li Xiue could say it calmly now, not because her own mentality was strong enough.

It was because there were strong people by her side; they had always pulled her forward and had never once given up on her.

"My parents remained silent, my brother's look of disdain, my sister-in-law's mean words."

"For the first time, I realized that the addition of one person to a family could actually change everything."

Li Xiue smiled, though it was unknown what beautiful thing she was thinking of.

Yun Qi had been staying by her side the whole time, watching her smile; with eyes filled with a smile, it turned out this idiom was so beautiful.
