132 The Worries Of A Father (1/2)

”Don't you think so too? To attend a good school requires more than one or two silvers, and a growing child must eat good food.....” Xiang Qing worked hard to calculate all the costs and expenses, becoming more and more troubled, ”Perhaps I should have my fortune and Feng Shui looked at.”

”That mouth of yours never says anything good. Fortune telling is a bunch of lies eighty percent of the time.” Fourth Senior Brother sat down, poured a cup of cold tea, and downed it in one gulp, ”Do you really want to marry a widow and become a step father?”

”Marry!” Xiang Qing unconditionally replied, ”As long as she's willing to marry me, I'll marry her!”

I was elated and happily rubbed against Xiang Qing's arms several times. Xiao Mao who was on the ground only gave a few haughty glances towards us, his face full of disdain.

”But.....” Xiang Qing's topic of discussion changed once more, causing me to become worried, ”I was without a father since young and I don't have any experiences being one. Miao Miao's child is quite old, do you think he'll listen to a father like me?”

If Xiao Mao dare not listen, then I'll beat him flat! I licked my paws and made up my mind.

Fourth Senior Brother had an expression that seemed to want to laugh, ”You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're thinking about how to be a good father? Isn't it a bit too fast? You should first exchange mutual feelings before considering such things.”

”You're right.” Xiang Qing very carefully nodded, ”I must establish my dignity as a father first.”

”Hey, hey, where have you thought to again?”

I completely relaxed as I heard his words. Xiao Mao's eyes that stared at Xiang Qing were cold and indifferent for a moment, whether or not it was an illusion, I didn't know.

I didn't want to think anymore. I joyfully dragged him back, ready to report the discovery of this exciting news to Yin Zi so that he could begin the wedding preparations. This time no matter if it's the torturous coronet or anything else, I will endure, no excuses.

Hearing the news, Yin Zi and the others were also very happy. They instructed me to patiently sit and wait as Xiang Qing would be coming to propose marriage soon. In the evening, however, Xiang Qing didn't come, and instead Mu Yun Lan arrived at our doors.

She hesitantly circled around outside our doors for a long time. I only listened to her intermittent footsteps. Eventually, I grew impatient and opened the doors. I viciously stared at the person who had ill intentions and wanted to curse Shifu, angrily asking, ”What did you come here for?”

Mu Yun Lan appeared to have been shocked by the tone of my voice. She glanced left and right before nervously asking, ”I've come to find Miss Yin Zi.”

”Find Yin Zi for what?” Did she want to curse Yin Zi as well? The alarm within my heart was stirring aloud as I tried to figure out this woman's intentions.

”Nothing.” Mu Yun Lan closed her mouth and turned to leave.

You say, isn't this person a tad strange? Arriving at our doors because of nothing. Like myself, did she also have the habit of taking walks after a meal?

As I was preparing to close the doors, Yin Zi got up and followed after her. He leaned against the railing and said, ”If you have something you want to tell me, then say it directly.”

Mu Yun Lan finally halted her paces. She slowly turned around, and with a grimacing expression, she loudly asked, ”You can't treat Seventh Senior Brother that way!”

Yin Zi fell to the ground with 'bang'.

Mu Yun Lan appeared to have gathered some courage, she hurriedly approached Yin Zi and attacked him with a bombardment of questions, ”Since you don't like Seventh Senior Brother, then don't give him any hope. Although his background is quite ordinary, he has a kind and gentle nature. There isn't a better man! How can you rely on your beauty to play with his feelings? Too shameless!”

”Him and I.....we don't have any relationship.....” Yin Zi helplessly denied, ”I've made my intentions clear to him, I just hope he leaves me alone.”

”Not only have you played with Seventh Senior Brother's feelings, and now you're targeting Sixth Senior Brother! You've even placed Miao Miao who's a widow beside him, you're clearly making use of his honesty so he would take responsibility! This was your plan from the start! Shameless!” Mu Yun Lan's entire face was fuming with anger as she spoke all of Yin Zi's evil doings and unforgivable acts.
