Chapter 1958: Chapter 1959: You’re Kind of Just Fooling Yourself Right Now

An Yiqing had not yet spoken when An Yiqi laughed and said, ”Mother, let me tell you, Lele celebrated her fifteenth birthday in the Royal Palace. And on her fifteenth birthday, she asked Third Brother when he would come to her house to propose. Haha, Lele has always wanted to marry Third Brother. We can all see it, and you should be able to see it too, right?”

Without waiting for An Jing to answer, An Yiqi continued, ”But do you know, Third Brother didn’t notice at all. He even said that he was used to Lele hugging him, so he didn’t realize Lele had grown up and naturally wouldn’t marry her. Haha, Lele was so heartbroken she cried and ended up not speaking to Third Brother, just went back to the Slayer Tower with Second Brother. Third Brother now fears being hugged by Baobei, and it’s definitely because of what happened with Lele. Oh, and also, my line about — boys and girls should not sit together after the age of seven.”

An Jing understood, and then looked at An Yiqing, ”Qinger, you really won’t marry Lele?”

”I don’t even like her, why would I marry her?” An Yiqing was quite perplexed as to why his mother was asking this question now.

An Jing said in surprise, ”You don’t like Lele? I always thought you did.”

”Mother, stop joking around, how could I possibly like Lele. Even if I did like her, it would be the kind of affection a brother has for a sister, not romantic feelings.”

An Jing squinted her eyes and looked at An Yiqing for a long while before saying, ”Although you might not like hearing this, I still have to say it: you’re kind of deceiving yourself now.”

An Yiqing: ”...”

An Jing didn’t say anything more, and she took An Baobei into the house. Inside, Xiao Changyi, knowing his sons were back, was pouring ginger soup into several bowls, planning to give each of his children one bowl.

Of course, An Jing’s bowl was not to be missed.

As soon as An Jing came in, Xiao Changyi handed her a bowl of ginger soup. An Jing had been standing outside for a while and was feeling a bit cold. When Xiao Changyi handed her the ginger soup, she first smiled at him, then drank it.

An Yiqi came in and grabbed a bowl of ginger soup to drink, seeing Xiao Changyi still looking at An Jing, he smacked his lips and sighed to the sky, ”Father always only has eyes for Mother, as a son watching this, it really doesn’t sit well with me.”

An Jing immediately laughed, ”Be careful your father doesn’t let you return to the Imperial City.”

An Yiqi quickly sidled up to Xiao Changyi’s side, and said flatteringly, ”Father, I was praising your deep affection for Mother, definitely didn’t mean anything else. Please don’t misunderstand, also, Father, this time I’ve brought many gifts for you and Mother.”

Xiao Changyi didn’t bother arguing with An Yiqi, seeing An Yiyun hadn’t returned, he asked, ”Where’s Yun Er?”

Before An Yiqi could answer, An Jing sighed and said, ”Yun Er’s health is poor again, and he can’t withstand the trip. This year, he’ll have to spend the New Year in the Imperial City with Chengyu and the others, he can’t come back.”

Xiao Changyi’s gaze darkened, and he felt very uncomfortable inside, but he said nothing more.

An Yiqing and the others felt uncomfortable too.

An Baobei blinked and ran in between Xiao Changyi and An Jing, holding Xiao Changyi with one hand and An Jing with the other, she looked up with a big smile and said, ”Dad, Mom, if Fourth Brother still can’t come back to celebrate the New Year with us next year, then we’ll go to the Imperial City for New Year.”

Only then did An Jing smile, a very comforting smile, nodding as she said, ”Sure.”

Even though it always feels like one person or another is missing during the New Year at home, she still hopes that every New Year, the whole family can be together.
