Chapter 1251: Chapter 729: Never Applauded for Love, Jiang Xiaosi Trying to Overtake on a Curve (Part 2)

Hua Mei seemed to have long forgotten who he was, and was downright hostile toward him.

And then...

This idiot actually started provoking and teasing it?

How could that be tolerated!

It mustered all its strength, launched itself over, and pecked hard at his finger.

Si Qingxiao only heard a sharp hiss of pain from the other end, and then the video call was cut off.

A few minutes later, Jiang Chengsi sent her a photo.

The back of his hand had been pecked by Hua Mei and was all swollen, which made her burst out laughing.

Jiang Chengsi had already been in a foul mood, and when Jiang Jinsang went to get him some bruise cream, he just had to say:

"Even a three-year-old kid knows not to stick their hand in front of a bird’s beak. You’re thirty already, how do you still get pecked by a bird?"

Jiang Chengsi clenched his teeth and stayed silent. Right now he only wanted to butcher Hua Mei and make bird soup.

He’d been pecked by this stupid bird, and just listening to it chirp and twitter was already annoying enough, and then Old Tang came back carrying Jiang Xiaowai.

This trip wasn’t for nothing for Xiaowai. She brought back a bunch of snacks and fun stuff. Her attention was on the new toys at first, but then she got drawn to Hua Mei.

Right after that, a scene unfolded that nearly blew Jiang Chengsi’s mind.

Hua Mei craned its neck: "Gugu——"

Jiang Xiaowai tilted her little head: "Aaa——"

Hua Mei flapped its wings: "Wuwuwu——"

Jiang Xiaowai waved her arms: "Yayaya——"

...

Back and forth they went, noisy and lively.

Jiang Chengsi just couldn’t figure out what on earth this one person and one bird were yapping about.

Old Tang watched and found it amusing. Seeing Jiang Jinsang and Tang Wan were busy, he called Jiang Chengsi over to hold the child while he himself took out his phone to record this scene.

For no reason at all, Jiang Chengsi once again became the designated baby-holding tool man; bird calls in his left ear, baby babbling in his right, and he felt like he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Even after lunch, when he went back to his room to rest, his ears were still buzzing, filled with the sounds of Jiang Xiaowai and Hua Mei.

In the afternoon, Jiang Jinsang went to the company with Tang Yunxian. He had never been involved in any of the Tang Family business, nor did he deliberately ask what Tang Yunxian had been up to lately or how much the company made each year.

It was Tang Yunxian who took the initiative to invite him out to broaden his horizons, basically introducing some of his business partners and teaching him about the ways of the marketplace.

As a father-in-law, he was pretty much holding nothing back in this regard.

The two of them weren’t coming back for dinner, so Jiang Chengsi stayed home with Old Tang, soaking their feet for health, and after finishing the goji berry tea, he went back to his room.

Just as he was idling around, he got a message from Qi Zeyan, asking him out for a drink.

Qi Zeyan had arrived in Pingjiang two days ago. Although in theory the engagement banquet should be arranged by the Ruan Family, there was no way Qi Zeyan could just ignore everything. He’d been helping with the preparations and had only just gotten a bit of free time.

The most famous place in Pingjiang was Fuyou Bar, so they arranged to meet there.

Jiang Chengsi had flown in and didn’t have a car, and the Tang Family’s car wasn’t around either, so he had no choice...

When Qi Zeyan was waiting at the Bar entrance, he saw a certain idiot puttering over on a ladies’ scooter from over ten years ago.

He was stunned on the spot.

Even if it’s not some heavy motorcycle, at least get an electric scooter or something. What the hell is with this ladies’ step-through?

"Where did you even dig this thing up?"

I invite you to such a cool Bar, and you show up on this little step-through?

"Enough, let’s go in. I still have to ride back later, so I’ll just get a juice or something. Plus I already reported to my wife before coming out that I won’t be drinking." Jiang Chengsi slung an arm over Qi Zeyan’s shoulders and walked inside with him.

"If you’re not drinking, what are you doing coming to a Bar with me?"

"To hang out, obviously. And while I’m at it, check out what’s so special about the most famous Bar in Pingjiang. Consider it reconnaissance. If there’s anything particularly good, I can have my own Bars copy it later."

"So you’re basically here on a field trip." Qi Zeyan was speechless.

"I’m here to keep you company. You’re about to get engaged and you still have time to come out drinking?"

"I just finished being busy. My parents are coming out tomorrow, so I’m taking the chance to relax a bit."

"If you get drunk, how are you getting back? Aren’t you staying at the Ruan Family place?"

"Some out-of-town relatives are staying over at her place, so I’m at a hotel right now." If he were staying at the Ruan Family’s, even if you lent him ten guts, he wouldn’t dare come to a Bar. Gotta maintain a good image in front of the future in-laws.

"Hey, you and Xiaoruan, have you actually..." Jiang Chengsi kept waggling his eyebrows at him.

"You still have the nerve to bring that up? That time on Valentine’s Day, I almost... and you completely screwed it up for me." Just thinking about it made Qi Zeyan feel stifled.

"That was ages ago. After all this time, you guys still haven’t made any progress? Haven’t clapped for love even once?"
