Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1981: Chapter 1982: Awkward

Gong Juechen just hummed without saying a word.

Instead, it was Ye Zhi who spoke, but didn’t mention An Yiqing at all, nor did she glance at him. ”Hurry up and finish your porridge, it’s not good to waste.”

Gong Le pouted, looking unhappily at An Yiqing. An Yiqing shook his head at her, indicating that he was fine and that she shouldn’t worry.

Only then did Gong Le return to her seat and continue drinking her porridge.

After exchanging a glance with Su Yixing, An Yiqing walked over to Gong Juechen and Ye Zhi, and greeted them politely as a junior, ”Uncle Gong, Aunt Ye, I’ve been at the Slayer Tower for several days but I’m only seeing you now. It’s my fault.”

Ye Zhi said nothing, continuing to eat the eggs that Gong Juechen had peeled for her.

This time, it was Gong Juechen who spoke, but not to An Yiqing. He directly ignored him and asked Su Yixing, ”Star, what brings you here so early in the morning?”

”Dad!” Gong Le pouted her lips, very unhappy with how Gong Juechen was treating the one she loved.

Gong Juechen, however, remained unmoved.

An Yiqing quickly calmed Gong Le with his eyes, signaling her not to intervene. He knew Gong Juechen and Ye Zhi were both dissatisfied with him, and since he was determined to be with Gong Le, he naturally had to resolve this.

Su Yixing could sense the tension in the air and wanted to leave to avoid being affected, but as he was also involved, he couldn’t leave. So, he just smiled and replied, ”Master, actually, there’s nothing much, just—”

Before Su Yixing could finish, Gong Juechen interrupted, ”If there’s nothing, you should both leave.”

”This...” Su Yixing was embarrassed. Master, you’re clearly trying to put my third brother in a difficult spot.

”Go back!” Gong Juechen repeated, this time with just three words, but they were cold and harsh.

Knowing it wasn’t a suitable time to discuss matters because Gong Juechen wouldn’t listen to them, Su Yixing pulled An Yiqing away quickly.

An Yiqing didn’t want to leave since he hadn’t said anything yet, but he also realized Gong Juechen wouldn’t listen now, so he decided to come back later to find Gong Juechen.

Once Gong Le saw them leaving, she stomped her foot at Gong Juechen and Ye Zhi, ”Dad, Mom, what are you doing?! Are you deliberately trying to make me unhappy?!”

Gong Juechen then softened his tone, soothingly saying, ”Lele, be good. Dad and Mom have their considerations. Just watch from the side for now.”

Gong Le was surprised and asked, ”Dad, Mom, do you know what’s going on?”

”They came urgently to find us; how could we not know?” Gong Juechen hummed before soothingly saying, ”Listen, Dad and Mom won’t harm you. We just want him to become better.”

Gong Le immediately rejoiced, ”Does this mean Dad and Mom agreed to my marriage with Big Brother Qing?”

”We never said that.” Gong Juechen immediately denied. After a pause, he muttered, ”Let’s see how he behaves.”

Gong Le happily hugged Gong Juechen’s neck, ”Thank you, Dad! I knew you were the best!”

Ye Zhi immediately became displeased, ”So, am I not good to you as your mom?”

”No way!” Gong Le turned to hug Ye Zhi. ”Mom, just like Dad, you’re the best to me!”

”You... sigh...” Looking at her beloved daughter’s silly smile, Ye Zhi could only sigh helplessly yet indulgently.

...

In just an hour, An Yiqing came to find Gong Juechen again, but this time, Gong Juechen directly shut him out.
