Chapter 960: Sister-in-law, you're scolding me again?

Shan Shan has a very good character, warm and generous, focused, good at making friends, sometimes also a bit carefree, and everyone likes her.

But perhaps because she is still young, she is not very sensitive to love.

These past few years she has been wholeheartedly busy with clan affairs, seemingly not considering this aspect.

This caused Ao Jing to previously lack a sense of security, even beginning to doubt Shan Shan's feelings for him.

But after Ao Jing confirmed that Shan Shan had him in her heart, he no longer worried about gains and losses.

He had plenty of patience to wait for Shan Shan to stop, then turn around and see himself.

But he didn't expect Shan Shan would suddenly come to find him, and upon meeting she would throw herself into his arms.

Ao Jing instinctively embraced Shan Shan and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shan Shan mumbled in his embrace, "I just missed you a bit, came to see you."

Ao Jing's hand resting on Shan Shan's back trembled slightly, his ears turned red, a patch of red on his neck, his heart thumped nonstop, disturbing his peace, leaving him somewhat dazed.

Not receiving an immediate response, Shan Shan puzzledly lifted her head to look at Ao Jing.

She then saw Ao Jing's whole face flushed, he seemed a bit hot, his breathing also became hurried.

Shan Shan became even more puzzled, raising her hand to touch Ao Jing's cheek.

That touch was scalding hot.

Shan Shan exclaimed, "Jing ge, why is your face so hot? Are you sick?"

Ao Jing grabbed Shan Shan's hand, shook his head, lowered his gaze to stare at her, and said, "I'm not sick, it's nothing, I'll be fine soon."

Then he asked again, "Shan Shan, do you know what you just said?"

"Just saying I missed you." Shan Shan blinked her big eyes, earnestly said, "We haven't seen each other for several days."

"The little brother is about to hatch, I need to guard him." Ao Jing explained, "You must also be very busy lately, I thought you wouldn't have time to think of me."

"How could that be? I miss you every day." Shan Shan then asked, "Do you miss me?"

Ao Jing's face turned even redder.

In his heart a vague sweetness welled up, along with some regret.

Does this girl really know how bewildering yet sincere her manner is, how much it tugs at the heartstrings?

Does she really understand that the 'longing' she speaks of is different from familial or friendly yearning?

But these no longer matter; Ao Jing doesn't pick and choose.

As long as she says she misses me, that's enough.

Thinking this, Ao Jing solemnly nodded and replied to Shan Shan, "I also miss you every day, very much."

Shan Shan immediately laughed.

So this is what falling in love feels like?

Silly, sweet, cloying.

But she likes it very much.

Thus the two clung together foolishly, gazing at each other, oblivious to the world.

Until a tender voice suddenly sounded: "I also miss you every day..."

"I really miss you~"

"Eh... so cheesy, I'm still here watching, can you two tone it down a bit..."

Shan Shan was startled, instinctively dove back into Ao Jing's embrace, dying of embarrassment.

Wasn't it said that the second younger cousin only had a crack in the eggshell, with hatching time still uncertain?

How did he suddenly start speaking?

Ao Jing embraced Shan Shan, almost instantly regaining composure, and sternly shouted, "Eavesdropping on others' private talk, second younger brother, do you have any manners?"

"Where did I eavesdrop?" The voice from the dragon egg retorted, "You're standing right in front of me; I'm openly observing, alright?!"

Ao Jing snorted coldly: "I see you're full of vigor; it seems you don't need me to regularly feed you true qi to help you hatch..."

"No! No!" That guy immediately fawned, "Brother, don't go! It's the younger brother's fault, the younger brother lacks boundaries; when sister-in-law arrives, I should at once cover my eyes, close my ears, neither listen nor look, to avoid disturbing you, so you can talk love; big brother and big sister-in-law, please forgive the younger brother this once."

That address of "sister-in-law" pleased Ao Jing.

Ao Jing did not lose his temper.

Shan Shan felt a bit shy, but did not feel offended; instead she walked over and touched the dragon egg's tip, saying, "It's fine, your big brother won't be angry with you."

The dragon egg hehe laughed: "It's not just because sister-in-law has face; from now on the younger brother will rely on your protection..."

Ao Jing glanced at Shan Shan's smiling side profile, then gave the dragon egg a sideways look, thinking, "This kid doesn't know who he takes after, always skilled at sweet talk, with a whole set of tricks to coax people."

Shan Shan obviously enjoyed it.

Ao Jing is usually not talkative, but this not-yet-hatched younger brother is completely different, practically a chatterbox.

Perhaps having been pent up in the dragon egg for too long, now he could drag even a passing dog into chatting until the heavens and earth darken.

Time flew by; Zhong Susu's side had already sent someone to call them over for dinner.

The dragon egg and Shan Shan chatted happily; seeing Shan Shan about to leave, he reluctantly said, "Sister-in-law, will you still come chat with me? When you're not around, big brother always scolds me; could you come more often? With you here, he wouldn't dare scold me."

Ao Jing was practically speechless: "Older brother, you talk too much."

"Sister-in-law, look, look at him!" The dragon egg instantly seemed to have grabbed a handle, and complained to his face, "He's scolding me again."

Shan Shan helplessly touched the dragon egg again, saying, "I'll come play when I have time; you should gather strength, hatch early, and then I'll always welcome you to visit the Feng Clan."

The dragon egg readily agreed.

Leaving Kui Long Hall, Shan Shan naturally took Ao Jing's hand, softly telling him about the events of these days, joys and worries, sharing every detail.

Ao Jing listened quietly; when feedback was needed, whether advice or emotional value, he gave just the right amount.

He and Shan Shan grew up together from childhood; almost everyone had long taken it for granted they would be a couple, so Ao Jing's attention to Shan Shan has always been far greater than others'.

Precisely because he understands her so well, his feedback often hits her heart directly.

Every time this moment arrives, Shan Shan gets even closer to Ao Jing, looking at his eyes full of little stars, lively and making people unable to let go.

Shan Shan is quite tall, about 1.72 meters.

But Ao Jing is taller, he is over 1.9 meters.

So when he looks at Shan Shan, his gaze slightly drops, and at first glance he can see her moving lips.

Shan Shan's lips are crimson and plump, like jelly, making people unable to resist the urge to lower their heads and gently bite them.

Many times, Ao Jing had already lowered his head, but then quickly raised it again, averting his gaze.

Damn respectable person, although he has suffered in love, knowing that in love one must strive and contend, yet some things just cannot let go of face.

Whenever he wants to get a step closer, his mind always pops out some inappropriate terms.

"Shan Shan is still young, just in her early twenties, and she is still somewhat naive about love."

"To love her is to respect her."

"At least we must wait until we can talk about marriage..."
