For Su Chengyu’s sudden eloquence, like a babbling brook that never ceases, Xiao Changyi had seen it too often to be surprised by it. Even if he did find it surprising, he was able to keep it from showing on his face.
At this moment, Xiao Changyi was the picture of calm.
But in his mind, he had already decided that if Su Chengyu caused his children to cry, he would definitely use it as an excuse to kick him out early.
An Jing hadn’t yet reached Xiao Changyi and the children’s side when she saw Su Chengyu talking non-stop to Xiao Changyi. Even though she already knew that Su Chengyu was a chatterbox, she couldn’t help but be taken aback.
Had you prepared a mental script in advance to speak so fluently without giving anyone a chance to interject?
When An Jing recovered from her daze, she sat down beside Xiao Changyi, first exchanging a smiling glance with him before they both took care of the four children in the cradle.
At the same time, they listened to Su Chengyu talking.
The four children, instead of being made to cry by Su Chengyu, actually fell asleep gradually amid his endless chatter, without anyone needing to soothe them.
Watching his four children sleeping so soundly and listening to Su Chengyu’s extremely annoying talking, Xiao Changyi: "..." Would you at least cry a little?
An Jing was also feeling sleepy, yawning continuously. Su Chengyu really could talk; he didn’t disappoint her at all.
At this moment, she truly sympathized with her husband’s ears, which had always been subjected to Su Chengyu’s verbal bombardment in the past.
However, An Jing still persisted through four hours of Su Chengyu’s talk before she finally said, "Chengyu, tomorrow is a good day for Jing’er and the others’ hundred-day celebration. We should get some sleep early tonight."
Su Chengyu thought about how he had not only the children’s hundred-day celebration to attend tomorrow but also a trip back to the Capital. If he didn’t sleep tonight, he definitely wouldn’t have the energy to travel, so even though he hadn’t finished talking to his heart’s content, he nodded: "Mm."
Getting up, Su Chengyu walked towards the door, but after a few steps, he turned back to An Jing and Xiao Changyi and said, "I still have many things I haven’t told you. When I return to the Capital, I’ll write you a letter to continue our conversation."
Xiao Changyi’s eyes suddenly turned cold.
An Jing was startled for a moment before she smiled warmly and said, "Then you can write to us when you have time. Brother Yi and I will definitely read it."
"Mm!" Su Chengyu was visibly delighted.
After Su Chengyu left, An Jing soothed Xiao Changyi: "It’s fine. He might be a little annoying at times, but he is truly fond of us. You saw it yourself, his words just now clearly show that he has accepted me as his sister-in-law. Let’s not hold it against him anymore."
She wasn’t foolish. Su Chengyu and the Emperor of Xiyun might have seemed to accept her before, but it wasn’t a genuine acceptance from their hearts; rather, they were accommodating Xiao Changyi, giving face to him, not wanting to anger him.
She had always been keenly aware that both Su Chengyu and the Emperor of Xiyun in their hearts felt that she, a farmer’s daughter, wasn’t a match for the illustrious Xiao Changyi.
Now things were different. She had merits in Xiyun, so Su Chengyu and the Emperor of Xiyun wouldn’t look down on her for being from a farmer’s family, nor would they belittle her for being a woman. Naturally, they wouldn’t consider her unworthy of her husband Xiao Changyi anymore.
Being a chatterbox was a little secret that Su Chengyu had always kept to himself, and he had always been talkative only around Xiao Changyi. Now, however, he was willing to be talkative around her as well, which clearly showed that Su Chengyu had truly accepted her as his sister-in-law.
Upon hearing An Jing say that Su Chengyu had completely accepted her as his sister-in-law, Xiao Changyi grumbled unhappily: "You don’t need his acceptance."
