Ye Tiao, after picking on someone, felt very comfortable at the moment, holding Jian Yun’s hand with enthusiasm, "Aunt Jian, it’s really been a long time since I last saw you. Have you taken over the work in Imperial City now?"
Jian Yun nodded and was dragged to sit down. Seeing Shi Mei bringing over the medical kit, she naturally took it, "You still haven’t changed a bit after all these years, getting on in age now, have you found a boyfriend yet?"
Hearing this, Ye Tiao immediately made a bitter face, "Why are you like my mom too? I don’t even dare to go home now. Every time I go back, I get nagged to death. And now you’re doing it too, can I even live properly anymore!?"
Ye Tiao had been close with Tang Wu since childhood, they were nearly at the point of calling each other’s parents mom and dad, so their conversations weren’t too constrained. At this moment, with a pouting face and acting spoiled, she was all too natural.
Tang Jingming heard Ye Tiao’s voice and couldn’t help but look back at her, inexplicably feeling a tightness in his chest.
But in a moment, Tang Jingming turned his head away, his wet hands patting his own face.
The nonsense uttered after drinking and being lovesick, Ye Tiao herself didn’t even know what was going on, being carefree so often.
Was it just him who cared, and why should he?
Tang Jingming continued washing vegetables with a huff, his face getting increasingly sour.
However, except for Shi Lingyan, no one noticed Tang Jingming brooding pitifully in the corner.
Jian Yun looked at Ye Tiao reproachfully and took out cotton and iodine from the medical kit, "Elders nag you for your own good. You are always so naughty, always opposing your parents. They are gentle. If it were Xiao Wu’s dad, he would’ve taught you how to behave properly."
Ye Tiao immediately beamed, "That would be great! I’ve wanted to join the army for a long time. If I were your daughter and Uncle Tang’s daughter, I would definitely be an awe-inspiring soldier by now, galloping through the battlegrounds, how cool that would be!"
Jian Yun couldn’t help but smile, "I wonder who it was that, because Xiao Wu didn’t want to train, secretly cursed us along with her when they were little." Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩
Ye Tiao’s eyes widened, "Wow, how did you know about that! We were so stealthy!"
Jian Yun wrapped her wound, while smilingly looking down, "So naive, you thought you covered your tracks well. We were at the door listening to you cursing us."
Ye Tiao’s face showed no embarrassment, instead, she grinned at Shi Mei.
Shi Mei also couldn’t help but bow her head and sneak a laugh.
Back then, they were sitting in the room, the tomboyish Ye Tiao full of righteous indignation, her voice immature as she shouted: "Uncle and Aunt are too much, Xiao Wu, don’t worry, when I grow up I will definitely rescue you from misery!"
Tang Wu was crying intermittently at the time, about to agree, but then she caught sight of the figures behind her and suddenly changed her tone, "Insect, I...my dad and mom ...burp, they just want me to become better, they just don’t understand how to respect my wishes, I feel so sad, boo hoo hoo ..."
Ye Tiao, completely oblivious, cursed, "My parents never force me, but your parents force you to do things you don’t like every day, so they’re the bad guys! Bad guys should be punished. Come sleep at my house tonight, I’ll give you my doll, call my mom and dad as your parents, don’t want your own mom and dad anymore!"
Jian Yun and Tang Huai Zhang stood at the door, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
