C1 (1/2)

The summer solstice is the old man's birthday every year.

It was still early in the morning when people began to bring gifts in succession. Lu Qingli went back and forth on the floor barefooted as she moved the gifts one by one to the room upstairs.

Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. She wiped her forehead, walked over to the vertical air conditioner, picked up the remote control, and pressed a button.

Suddenly, a gentle male voice came from behind him, ”Don't blow on the air conditioner, you'll catch a cold.”

Her back froze for a moment, she turned, and suddenly saw a smiling Xi Muyao.

Qingli did not make a sound, she only walked towards him and swept a cold glance over him before taking the box from him. On top of the box, it said: Wishing Father-in-law luck and good health.

Heh. The rest of the family were all upstairs, so she didn't feel the need to put on such a show here.

”Qingli, you should be obedient.” He looked at her, still standing under the air conditioner, and frowned.

Obedient!?

If she hadn't been so obedient from the start, she wouldn't have fallen to such a state! Although Lu Qingli wasn't as tyrannical and stubborn as Lu Qinghuan, she,, wasn't someone who would allow others to trample over her character!

”I'm sorry, Mr. Xi, but I think you have no right to interfere with my freedom. Your former father-in-law is upstairs. If you want to act out the role of a good son-in-law, you shouldn't waste your precious time here. ”

She pointed to the stairs.

He looked at her angry eyes, which were sparkling like fireworks, bright and proud. The current her was no longer the same docile Lu Qingli.

In the past, although she was proud and stubborn, she would always listen to him. Think of everything for him.

Every family party, every trip, she had silently helped him take care of everything, and sometimes he thought that doing that for himself was like simply doing the duty of a wife. And in her heart, did she ever have him …

Xi Muyao silently looked at the calm and collected her, and after a long while, he turned and went upstairs.
