119. Chapter 119: The strange way Favorability Value increases has appeared again

After hearing this, Sheng Laoyezi also chuckled twice, nodded, and said, "Zhennian is right. We really should ask Xixi for her opinion. It is not the ancient times anymore where we rely on matchmakers; in the end, what matters is the fate between the two children."

"Yes."

Luo Zhennian nodded and smiled.

But Sheng Laoyezi changed the subject and said, "However, Zhennian, I truly hope our two families can become closer through marriage. I was good friends with your father back then, and I don't want that bond to break. If Xixi can marry Yan Qi, our Sheng Family will definitely treat that child well and will never let her suffer the slightest grievance."

Luo Zhennian said with a smile, "Yes, actually I also hope the two children can be joined in marriage. After I go back, I will ask Xixi about this properly and will do my best to persuade the child."

"Haha, Zhennian is indeed a sensible person."

Sheng Laoyezi laughed loudly.

The eldest son, Sheng Tinghao, also smiled at Luo Zhennian and said, "Zhennian, I really hope we can become in-laws. I am waiting for your good news."

"Good."

Luo Zhennian agreed with his mouth, but he was very clear about why the Sheng Family could still treat the Luo Family with such hospitality after the Luo Family encountered those storms; the reason lay with Sheng Tinglan.

The Sheng Family also knew about Sheng Tinglan's return, and it was nine times out of ten for revenge. Now that Sheng Tinglan's influence was great, if they relied solely on the Sheng Family, they might really fall.

If they formed a marriage alliance with the Luo Family at this time, the Sheng Family's influence would grow, and they would no longer need to worry about being retaliated against by Sheng Tinglan.

Therefore, although the Sheng father and son said they were optimistic about the children's marriage, to put it bluntly, weren't they just eyeing the Luo Family's influence and wanting to use it for themselves? Harboring such impure motives, how could Luo Zhennian easily give his word and agree to his daughter's marriage with the Sheng Family? Unless Xixi was willing, the Luo Family could not form a marriage alliance with the Sheng Family, even if marrying into the Sheng Family would be of great benefit to the Luo Family.

**Originally, it was Sheng Yanqi who was unwilling and didn't want to accompany Luo Xixi, but now it had become Luo Xixi who was unwilling and was trying every possible way to leave Sheng Yanqi's side.

【Tong'er, why hasn't Yan Yu come yet? He wouldn't just not come, would he?】

Seeing that there was still no sign of Yan Yu after a long time, Luo Xixi was a bit anxious.

She had come here specifically because she heard the Baby System say that Yan Yu would come tonight! The Baby System became uncertain at this moment, and it stammered: 【Host, logically speaking, the second male lead should have arrived, but because he is also a Transmigrator, he has his own will. Now he must have received the script too. If he is still angry at you and knows you are back, he might just not come...】

【What?!】

Hearing the Baby System say that there was a possibility Yan Yu wouldn't come, Luo Xixi wanted to curse. She said: 【Is he serious? Is it necessary to be angry for so long? Why didn't I notice he was so petty before?】

In her previous life, Luo Xixi and Qi Yuan were mortal enemies. Back then, it was common for her to hit and scold him, but Qi Yuan had never been angry. He would always shamelessly crowd in front of her to ask for a scolding. Why was he throwing such a big temper this time?

Luo Xixi felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart now, with an indescribable anxiety and grievance. This was the first time she had tried so hard to seek forgiveness from Qi Yuan; how could this person be so heartless and keep ignoring her? Hmph.

If he won't pay attention, then he won't.

She wasn't without self-esteem! She would give Yan Yu 5 more minutes; if he still didn't come, she wouldn't look for him again in the future!

Luo Xixi secretly made a decision in her heart.

Seeing Luo Xixi eating in a huff, her cheeks puffed up, Sheng Yanqi didn't know why, but he actually felt she looked a bit cute like this. Not knowing if he had gone crazy, he suddenly reached out and poked her cheek.

!!!! Suddenly poked, Luo Xixi, who was still immersed in her own world, was clearly startled.

She was like a frightened little rabbit, almost jumping up, then she turned her head abruptly to look at Sheng Yanqi, glared, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"..."

Being asked this by Luo Xixi, Sheng Yanqi was also stunned. He also wanted to ask himself what was going on; why did he go to poke someone else's cheek?

However, Sheng Yanqi didn't want to appear so weak in front of Luo Xixi, so he said righteously, "I saw something on your cheek and was just helping you get it off. Speaking of which, can you be a bit more refined when you eat? Shiqing would never be like you."

Sheng Yanqi cleverly changed the subject. But he was also unlucky, as he stepped directly into Luo Xixi's minefield.

One must know that what Luo Xixi hated most right now was Luo Shiqing.

That woman turned her eldest brother into a human puppet without any regard for old feelings, and now Sheng Yanqi was still mentioning her. Luo Xixi was furious, so she rolled her eyes at Sheng Yanqi without any politeness and said, "I can't help it, I've eaten like this since I was a child. I can't compare to a young lady who has received an education since she was small. If you like refined young ladies so much, go find someone like that. I'm not playing along anymore!"

After saying that, Luo Xixi turned to leave.

"Stop right there!"

Seeing that Luo Xixi was about to leave, Sheng Yanqi hurriedly pulled her back, feeling a bit annoyed, and said, "Why are you so petty? I was just joking with you, it's not..."

But before Sheng Yanqi could finish his sentence, Luo Xixi said, "A joke only counts as a joke if everyone can accept it; otherwise, it's an offense!"

Sheng Yanqi didn't expect that mentioning Luo Shiqing would make Luo Xixi so angry.

Could it be.

Luo Xixi was jealous?

It's true, no one wants their current partner to keep thinking about their ex. It was his lack of consideration.

Sheng Yanqi took a breath, then apologized to Luo Xixi, saying, "Sorry, I really didn't mean to provoke you. I just said it off the cuff just now. I will be careful in the future."

"..."

Seeing that Sheng Yanqi actually took the initiative to apologize, Luo Xixi was quite surprised.

She remembered that this third male lead was the best at shirking responsibility, right? Everything was someone else's fault, and he was the most innocent character anyway. She didn't expect him to apologize voluntarily; it felt like everyone's character settings had changed somewhat.

Luo Xixi wasn't a very petty person to begin with. As long as it wasn't a matter of principle, as long as the other party apologized, she would stop being angry.

Seeing that Sheng Yanqi performed so well this time, she stopped being angry and said, "Fine, I accept your apology."

Seeing that Luo Xixi seemed to have stopped being angry, Sheng Yanqi also breathed a sigh of relief.

He said to Luo Xixi again, "Actually, there was nothing on your face just now. I lied to you; I just wanted to poke your cheek."

"Why?"

Luo Xixi glanced at Sheng Yanqi.

Sheng Yanqi put his hands in his pockets, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I don't know, I just thought the way you eat is a bit cute."

【Ding-dong—】

At this time, the Baby System came online and reported to Luo Xixi: 【Congratulations to the Host, Sheng Yanqi's Favorability Value towards you has increased. It is now 35 points. (⊙v⊙)】

Luo Xixi: 【...】

This strange way for Favorability Value to increase has appeared again.

What on earth did she do? Why would the third male lead increase his Favorability Value towards her???

Just as Luo Xixi was confused, a commotion suddenly broke out at the entrance. One could only hear some female guests saying with extreme excitement: "My god! Yan Yu actually came! He is even more handsome in person than on TV!"
