"Now that I have a home and a big sister, I don’t want to acknowledge her." Erya shook her little head like a rattle.
"Alright, I’ve told you about this. We’ll be visiting Beijing often, and if we encounter her, just pretend not to know her. Of course, if she dares to stir up trouble, don’t be polite. Any consequences will be handled by your big sister and brother-in-law." Yang Ruxin picked up her chopsticks. "Let’s eat now." That Daya probably wants to marry Cui Hou, which is why she doesn’t like Xiaobao. But to act so viciously, her heart must already be malicious.
"Let’s eat." Everyone happily started eating, pletely disregarding the existence of Daya.
Yang Ruxin originally thought that her sharp attitude towards Duke Ning would lead to a falling out, but unexpectedly, the next day, Cui Hou visited again.
However, Yang Ruxin couldn’t be bothered dealing with the brat, so she sent Zhou Xiao and Sanni to entertain him while she called Zhou Ying and the other kids to her side, keeping them busy with the three beans and Wanshuang. Zhou Ying is still too young, so it’s best she doesn’t get involved in boyfriend matters for now.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ying was pletely uninterested in such matters, happily playing with Mimi and Lanlan around the three beans.
In the living room, Zhou Xiao found everything about Cui Hou unsettling and refused his request to see Yang Ruxin bluntly: "My big sister doesn’t have time to see you."
Cui Hou’s temper flared: "Why won’t she see me?"
"Who do you think you are to demand a meeting?" Zhou Xiao sneered.
"Do you believe I’ll beat you up?"
"Go ahead." Zhou Xiao stood up directly, having spent the past few years diligently practicing martial arts and itching for a serious sparring session, "Am I afraid of you?"
"What’s going on?" Sanni, who was sitting, intervened, "This is the Gu Family, the General Residence, not a place for just anyone to cause trouble." Saying this, she stood up, "Dabao, you step aside, I’ll go first. If I can’t beat him, then you can step in." She started rolling up her sleeves.
Zhou Xiao stopped moving.
"I don’t fight with women."
"If you can’t even beat a woman, that’s even more embarrassing." Without hesitation, Sanni made a move.
Initially, Cui Hou only dodged, but Sanni’s moves were crafty, forcing him into action. To his surprise, despite her young age, Sanni’s skills were quite impressive. Though not quite on par with him, winning immediately wasn’t possible.
After they exchanged more than thirty moves, Sanni suddenly jumped back: "Dabao, you’re up, I can’t beat him."
Cui Hou’s mouth twitched.
Zhou Xiao rushed in without hesitation.
Despite being three years younger, Zhou Xiao’s martial skills were taught directly by Gu Qingheng, and the kid indeed had a knack for martial arts. Recently, he’d even been getting infusions of inner strength from Ming Guang, making the two on par.
As soon as Cui Hou engaged, he felt the pressure.
The two fought from indoors to outdoors, from the ground to the rooftop, exchanging over a hundred moves, yet ended the match evenly.
"I lost." Both spoke simultaneously, stunned.
"You’re younger than me; if you practice for three more years, I definitely won’t be able to match you." Cui Hou admitted openly.
"No, you had sparred with Mengmeng earlier, which drained a lot of your energy; otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have been able to defeat you." Zhou Xiao truthfully acknowledged, even feeling a bit of admiration for the other.
