Chapter 357: If You Can't Win With Words, You'll Just Hit Me

Exactly.

Shiyu said in agreement.

They chatted for a while.

Shi Lin suddenly realized they hadn't introduced Qiao Sheng to the family, so he began introducing them one by one.

"Shengsheng, this is my older brother, Shiqi."

Shiqi was taller and more robust than Shi Lin, the typical broad-shouldered, thick-waisted type.

However, his appearance was just as good as Shi Lin's.

The difference is that.

One leans toward being a tough guy, the other toward being a pretty boy.

Hearing his younger brother introduce himself, Shiqi gave Shi Lin a look and said, "You little brat, you finally thought to introduce yourself; I thought you'd never remember!"

His younger brother is really unreliable.

Fortunately, the young lady is broad-minded.

Otherwise.

See what he'll do!

His wife, Jinyue, hearing this, gave him an annoyed glance and said, "It's just that there are family matters; don't pick on the third brother."

Shi Lin laughed and said, "Still, the sister-in-law is reasonable."

"Are you looking for a beating?"

Shiqi raised his fist.

Shi Lin pouted and said, "Dad, look at older brother—he resorts to hitting me whenever he can't win an argument."

He's all grown up and still tattling.

Shiqi looked down on him.

Shiyu coughed and said, "You two settle down; you're disturbing Mom's rest—see how I'll deal with you both."

"Dad, I didn't."

Shi Lin continued with the introductions; after introducing Jinyue, he then introduced her and Shiqi's little daughter.

Their daughter is named Shiying, nickname Xibao.

Xibao is now over a year old, chubby and adorable.

Qiao Sheng liked her more and more, couldn't resist going over and said, "Xibao, may I hold you?"

Xibao was being held by the wet nurse.

Jinyue saw Qiao Sheng wanting to hold her daughter and was about to introduce her to Qiao Sheng.

Xibao then lunged toward Qiao Sheng.

Qiao Sheng quickly caught Xibao, held her in his hand, weighed her, and after weighing couldn't help thinking, she certainly grew up spoiled—everything about her is perfect.

Suddenly he realized he hadn't yet given them the gift he brought.

Qiao Sheng handed Xibao to Shi Lin and said, "Shi Lin, could you hold her for a moment?"

Shi Lin hadn't reacted yet.

Qiao Sheng then ran off.

After he reacted,

The Xibao in his arms pouted and started crying.

Shi Lin hurriedly soothed, "Okay, okay, don't cry, your future third aunt will be back soon."

Hearing that,

Shiqi chuckled and said, "Has she agreed to marry you?"

"Of course she has."

After Shi Lin finished speaking, he turned his gaze to his mother and said, "Mom, you tell me, am I telling the truth?"

Xie Yin did not side with Shi Lin.

She opened her lips and said, "How would I know if you're telling the truth? Qiao Sheng hasn't said to my face that she wants to marry you."

Shi Lin: "..."

"What mother!"

Qiao Sheng quickly brought out the gift.

The gift she prepared for Xie Yin was a not‑bad‑quality jade hairpin; for Jinyue, a pair of jade bracelets; for Xibao, a pair of gold bracelets and a gold longevity lock.

As for Shiyu and Shiqi,

Shiyu's was a fine whip, and Shiqi's was a decent dagger.

The price wasn't high, but it was still decent.

Xie Yin and the others were quite satisfied.

Shi Lin raised an eyebrow and said, "No need to say more—my Shengsheng has already proven with her actions that she truly wants to marry me."

Qiao Sheng's face flushed uncontrollably.

Xie Yin smiled and asked, "A Sheng, is that true? Do you really want to marry our Lao San, not because he forced you, or because…"

Shi Lin twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Mom, am I really that kind of person? I…" (End of chapter)
