Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Vulnerable

“Hahaha! You’re always the most impatient one!”

Old Mr. Lu and the guests patted each other’s shoulders, exchanged pleasantries for a bit, and then he started to introduce Qiao Yi and Qiao Xin.

“This is Xiao Ming’s wife Qiao Xin.”

“This is Yanchuan’s wife Yiyi; she’ll be joining the company next month, so you all must take good care of her!”

Old Mr. Lu pulled Qiao Yi over from Lu Yanchuan’s side to his own, incessantly praising her for being sensible and obedient, which made Qiao Yi’s mouth twitch.

Although she behaved quite obediently in front of Old Mr. Lu, that didn’t warrant him making such a big deal out of it!

Qiao Xin, standing beside Lu Ming, her face turning a shade of green.

Old Mr. Lu’s blatant favoritism was simply too obvious. Although it’s known that the elderly can be partial, this was happening in public! Wasn’t this taking favoritism a bit too far?

Qiao Yi also noticed Old Mr. Lu was favoring her, but since it frustrated Qiao Xin, she was naturally pleased to see it. She sweetly flattered the elders, causing them all to beam with joy.

When Qiao Yi took out the prepared gifts, she received unanimous praise from the elders.

“Being obedient is good and all, but for a married woman, it’s not just about obedience, having children is the most important!”

Someone who didn’t like seeing Old Mr. Lu heap praise on Qiao Yi grumbled in a sarcastic tone.

Qiao Yi glanced over, and of course, it was one of the women who had been envious earlier.

All of them were Lu Yanchuan’s problematic admirers!

Qiao Yi discreetly pinched Lu Yanchuan on the arm. To outsiders, it seemed like she shyly hid by Lu Yanchuan’s side, but only Lu Yanchuan himself knew this little lady was far from embarrassed!

“Indeed, little sister, you can’t just be out and about all the time and neglect home. You should try to have a child soon!”

Qiao Xin finally found a reason to put down Qiao Yi and immediately stood next to her with her belly sticking out, making sure everyone could see that she was visibly pregnant.

Qiao Yi once again wondered if she and Qiao Xin were really sisters. How could their family have produced such a fool?

The people around them clearly paused for a moment before their expressions turned to those anticipating a good show.

Seeing that Old Mr. Lu’s expression was turning sour, Qiao Yi hurriedly started to laugh.

“I, I’m still young! Besides, even if I wanted children, it takes two to tango!”

Qiao Yi coquettishly hugged Lu Yanchuan’s arm, half acting spoiled and half complaining. She shook his arm and quietly asked,

“Look, everyone else has kids now. When do you plan to have a child with me?”

Qiao Yi’s quiet voice was heard by everyone around, and they all began to laugh understandingly.

The light-hearted teasing of a young girl is always better than family discord.

“Anytime you want, as long as you’re ready.”

Lu Yanchuan affectionately pinched Qiao Yi’s face, causing her to be startled and then shyly hide behind him even more.

Qiao Xin had no idea what had happened in those few moments. As she was about to make another sarcastic remark at Qiao Yi, she was pulled back to her seat by Lu Ming.

“Shut your mouth! If you can’t speak properly, just sit quietly!”

“Lu Ming! You! You’re yelling at me!”

“If you continue to be so thoughtless and clueless about the bigger picture, just get the hell back to where you came from!”

Lu Ming’s face darkened as he flung Qiao Xin’s hand away, leaving Qiao Yi staring in disbelief, her eyes wide.

Ever since she married Lu Ming, even if he didn’t like her, given the shares and the child in her womb, Lu Ming had never treated her with such a harsh attitude.

But today, Lu Ming actually turned against her for Qiao Yi!

“You dare to speak to me like that for that whore! You…”

“The ‘whore’ you are talking about knows that outside, you are both wives of the Lu Family; she, as the younger sister, is aware that family’s dishonor must not be publicized, yet you are there, basking in self-satisfaction!”

Lu Ming glanced at Qiao Xin with disgust and huffed heavily.

“If you don’t consider yourself a daughter-in-law of the Lu Family, then scram back to where you came from and stop embarrassing us in public!”

Normally, Qiao Xin’s antagonism towards Qiao Yi wouldn’t have angered Lu Ming.

But today was different!

Since Qiao Yi and Qiao Xin were both brought to this banquet, they already bore the label of the Lu Family’s daughters-in-law; they were not just the Qiao sisters, but also the wives of him and Lu Yanchuan.

The commotion just now showed his wife’s lack of tact in someone else’s home, taking sides against her own sister and aunt-in-law, while Qiao Yi actively diffused the situation, clearly distinguishing who was superior!

Qiao Xin brought shame on the Qiao Family and the Lu Family, whereas Qiao Yi salvaged the dignity in a few words, even drawing the bad reputation upon herself — who would believe that Qiao Yi was a girl who couldn’t discern the occasion?

Not only did he, Lu Ming, fall short compared to Lu Yanchuan, but now his wife was also no match for Lu Yanchuan’s wife! Calamitous from start to finish, that was the real root of Lu Ming’s fury!

Qiao Xin couldn’t see all this and just felt wronged, but seeing Lu Ming truly angry, she didn’t dare to provoke him further, considering she still needed Lu Ming’s cooperation for her plan to get close to Lu Yanchuan.

No one was paying attention to the commotion here; their eyes were dazzled by the display of tenderness and indulgence from Lu Yanchuan.

Why was it that the feast hadn’t even started, and yet they were already full?

Why indeed!

Old Mr. Lu’s satisfaction with Qiao Yi grew in his heart, and his face regained its smile.

“Now that I have Yiyi by my side to accompany me at home, it’s far more comfortable than those laborious efforts from you old men!”

“I think you’re just too old!”

“Humph! If you have the guts, let’s spar on the chessboard, and I’ll let you see what ‘an old sword isn’t blunt’ means!”

Old Mr. Lu and a group of old men walked away with laughter, leaving the younger generation feeling much more relaxed.

Qiao Yi and Lu Yanchuan also returned to their seats. The blush on Qiao Yi’s face had not faded away; it wasn’t feigned but rather a result of Lu Yanchuan’s words “whenever you want,” which unsettled her heart for a long time.

“What’s wrong?”

Qiao Yi’s face grew redder, as if she were on the verge of exploding. Lu Yanchuan noticed her abnormal expression and leaned over to whisper and ask.

Better left unasked, as Lu Yanchuan’s words made Qiao Yi’s face flush even more; she stammered, gripping Lu Yanchuan but unable to speak.

While the two were wholly oblivious to the intimacy of their own actions, it irritated someone who had been paying attention, who couldn’t stand it and huffed loudly on purpose.
