Chapter 57: Teaching Flirting Techniques?
Cheng Yuanzhao seemed a bit impatient. He glanced at his watch, furrowed his brows, and urged Hao Meiyun, "What are you waiting for? Let's eat!"
"Yeah," Cheng Hu pouted, "I'm already starving. There's no need to wait for a bragging country bumpkin—oh, right." He shot a glance at Xiao Yun, "I won't hold it against you today, so you should just leave!" He wasn't really letting it go; he was just afraid of Xiao Yun. This guy was too ruthless, and only by driving him away could he feel safe.
However, before he could finish his sentence, the doorbell rang again.
"They're here!" In the midst of the awkwardness, Hao Meiyun heard the doorbell and hurried to open the door.
When the door opened, a young woman appeared at the entrance, holding a bag of gift boxes. Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders, her eyebrows were well-groomed and her eyes bright. She wore a yellow T-shirt on top and a blue knee-length fitted skirt below, accentuating her slender figure with lively curves. She truly looked elegant and stunning.
"Excuse me, is Xiao Yun here?" The young woman smiled brightly as she asked Hao Meiyun.
Seeing such a beautiful girl, Hao Meiyun was momentarily overwhelmed with excitement and quickly replied, "Yes, yes! You must be Qingxue!"
"Duan Qingxue is here!" Xiao Yun stood up and smiled as he walked over to greet her.
Cheng Yuanzhao and Cheng Hu sat there like they had been struck dumb by a martial arts master, staring blankly with their mouths agape!
Galaxy City was predominantly populated by women who particularly loved beauty. As a result, this city had an abundance of flower shops, beauty salons, and women's clothing stores.
Last year, Galaxy City TV station came up with the idea to hold a beauty contest titled "Who is the Most Beautiful Fairy of the Flower Shops?" The contestants were required not only to be beautiful but also to have kind hearts and be helpful. After three months of public voting, the winner turned out to be Duan Qingxue.
After Duan Qingxue appeared on television, some paparazzi dug into her background. It was then revealed that she was actually from the Duan Family. A wave of fervent fans felt as if cold water had been splashed on them; they realized that Duan Haoran's granddaughter was not someone an ordinary person could pursue. Even the mayor's son could only sigh in admiration from afar!
The Cheng father-son duo never expected that this heavenly beauty Duan Qingxue would actually become the girlfriend of a country bumpkin like Xiao Yun. This guy was truly defying all odds!
"Hey kid, you're really something! You've managed to attract such a super beauty; even I admire you!" Little Bell chimed in enviously.
Uh—Xiao Yun felt three black lines appear on his forehead upon hearing Little Bell's thoughts. Sweat dripped down; what do you mean by 'attracting'? Is that how you talk?
Xiao Yun ignored Little Bell and pulled Duan Qingxue over to Hao Meiyun, smiling as he said, "Mom, this is my girlfriend."
"Hello, Aunt!" Duan Qingxue's face was slightly flushed, shy and delicate, as she politely bowed to Hao Meiyun and handed her the gift box in her hand.
Hao Meiyun's eyebrows almost flew up in delight, her eyes squinting into slits, her face radiating happiness.
Cheng Hu, however, sat in the corner like a fool, occasionally sniffling.
"Qingxue, let's eat together!" Xiao Yun's voice was gentle and considerate as he lightly placed an arm around Duan Qingxue's slim waist and casually walked to the dining table to sit down.
After experiencing a huge shock in his heart, Cheng Yuanzhao suddenly saw a glimmer of light before him. He knew that in Galaxy City, any business that could connect with the Duan Family meant it would be invincible in the business world. Now that such a rare opportunity had presented itself, how could he let it slip away easily?
As soon as Xiao Yun and Duan Qingxue took their seats, Cheng Yuanzhao quickly stood up and bowed slightly to Duan Qingxue, his face full of smiles as he said, "Miss Qingxue, it is truly an honor for the Cheng Family to have you here. Since you are Xiao Yun's girlfriend, we are family now; please don't stand on ceremony!"
Duan Qingxue politely nodded at him and said, "Thank you!"
Cheng Yuanzhao's sudden change of attitude did not escape Xiao Yun's notice; he could see through his little schemes. A cold smile formed in his heart while he maintained a calm exterior and said to Duan Qingxue, "This is just my mother's home, Qingxue; please feel at ease!"
"Yes, no need to be formal," Hao Meiyun said as she sat across from Duan Qingxue. She picked up a piece of drunken fish fillet with her chopsticks and placed it in Duan Qingxue's bowl. "Let's all eat!"
"Cough cough..." Cheng Yuanzhao could tell from Xiao Yun's earlier remarks that things were a bit awkward. He covered his mouth and coughed a few times before saying, "Xiao Yun, since this is your first time at the Cheng Family, I don't know you very well. Uh... what I said earlier might have been too much; please don't take it to heart..."
Xiao Yun couldn't be bothered to engage with him further and simply focused on eating.
Seeing this, Duan Qingxue felt that this family was somewhat strange, especially when she noticed Cheng Hu sitting diagonally across from her. His gaze always seemed sneaky. She wondered when Xiao Yun had such a family here; why hadn't he mentioned them before?
Thinking this way made her furrow her brows slightly.
Hao Meiyun's gaze never left her future daughter-in-law. She could tell that Duan Qingxue was definitely not an ordinary girl. With her presence, even Cheng Yuanzhao's attitude towards Xiao Yun had changed.
Before looking for Xiao Yun, she had tried to communicate with Cheng Yuanzhao but found him unresponsive with a stern face. However, unable to suppress her longing for her son, she mustered the courage to bring Xiao Yun back. Just moments ago, the atmosphere at home had been tense and filled with smoke; now it was suddenly calm and clear—all thanks to Duan Qingxue. She felt that this girl was truly a lucky star.
A woman's intuition is the most delicate. When Hao Meiyun noticed a slight change in Duan Qingxue's expression, she couldn't help but feel concerned and leaned closer to ask softly, "Qingxue, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Um..." Duan Qingxue hesitated for a moment before smiling and saying, "Auntie, I caught a bit of a chill from sleeping with the air conditioning on last night; it's nothing serious."
Hao Meiyun worriedly asked, "Do you need to see a doctor?"
"No need," Duan Qingxue shook her head.
Hao Meiyun said, "How about this? If you can't eat anything, I'll accompany you to the room to sit for a while."
Xiao Yun understood his mother's intention; she wanted to find an opportunity to talk with Duan Qingxue, so he didn't stop her and said, "Qingxue, you can talk with mom!"
As Duan Qingxue and Hao Meiyun linked arms and entered the room, Cheng Yuanzhao, who had been sitting on the sidelines, no longer paid attention to his son. With a flattering expression, he shifted his body a few times and sat down next to Xiao Yun, smiling, "Oh, Xiao Yun, I must say, you are quite an impressive person! Just looking at your appearance, you are extraordinary and graceful. In my opinion, you will definitely achieve great things in the future! If it weren't for your mother's connections, I would really want to become sworn brothers with you!"
Uh—Xiao Yun was almost choked by his latter words.
"Hehe... When did Mr. Cheng learn to read fortunes?" Xiao Yun patted his chest and asked coldly.
Facing Xiao Yun's sarcasm, Cheng Yuanzhao was completely unfazed and laughed heartily, "After all, I'm over twenty years older than you; I have some insight. Not to mention the far-off things, just look at Miss Duan from the Duan Family. The fact that you can win her over is impressive! Xiao Yun, I've heard that there are many techniques for pursuing girls. While we have this free time, could you teach me a thing or two?"
Pfft—Xiao Yun immediately spat out a mouthful of food all over Cheng Yuanzhao's face.
Damn it, how could he ask me to teach him how to flirt when he's my mother's current husband?
I can't even imagine that such a bizarre situation exists in this world!
When the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked. No wonder he has such a quirky son like Cheng Hu. I really don't know how my mother has been living with him all these years...
