Chapter 948: Chapter 805: Under the Thumb_3 Chapter 948: Chapter 805: Under the Thumb_3 Madam Guo saw Chu Lang standing still and continued to smile, “Mr. Chu, why stand there motionless? There’s no need to be shy, everyone here is family. We all know about your desire to marry Ruoi, so please, take a seat.”
At these words, the room fell silent.
Duke Dingguo and Governor Guo’s faces darkened simultaneously, while Guo Xueming was shocked to the point of disbelief, staring at Madam Guo.
Initially upon seeing Chu Lang, Xiao Yeyang’s expression had rely darkened, but upon hearing Chu Lang’s intention to marry Guo Ruoi, he stood up abruptly and questioned Guo Ruoi, “Are you truly going to marry…”
“Cough cough cough~”
A series of violent coughs tily interrupted Xiao Yeyang’s words.
Seeing Daohua coughing so violently that her face turned red and she struggled to breathe, Xiao Yeyang was terrified and sat down hastily, carefully patting her back while urgently commanding soone to summon a doctor.
Daohua coughed while waving her hand, “No need… for a doctor.” Saying this, she tugged on Xiao Yeyang’s sleeve, “Water…”
Xiao Yeyang quickly poured her a glass of water and tenderly helped her drink it.
Having drunk the water, Daohua’s coughing subsided, and she looked around apologetically at everyone in the room, “I’m sorry for disturbing everyone’s mood, please, go ahead with your al.”
Governor Guo ca to his senses and hurriedly urged everyone to eat, signaling the butler to invite Chu Lang to sit down.
If Chu Lang were to leave today, there would surely be a rift between him and his sister.
Seeing Madam Guo trying to stir up trouble, Guo Xueming forcefully stopped her, pleading with her, “Mother, if you want your daughter to live well in the future, please stop causing trouble.”
Madam Guo: “Foolish girl, your mother is venting for you!” Seeing that Xiao Yeyang was cald by Yan Yiyi, she felt extrely unwilling in her heart.
It was all the fault of that detestable Yan Yiyi, ruining her plans.
Had Xiao Yeyang’s questioning been voiced, no matter whom the younger sister chose to side with, it would have hurt the other party, and neither would have hoped for a good future.
Guo Xueming: “Marriage is fated by the heavens. If the daughter hasn’t ended up with her cousin, it ans she and he are not destined, Mother, please don’t dwell on this matter anymore, I beg you.”
Looking at her daughter’s pleading face, Madam Guo felt both angry and powerless.
Suddenly, Madam Guo felt two sharp glares upon her and, looking up, she saw her father-in-law giving her a disgusted glance and her husband staring at her coldly.
Madam Guo shuddered and finally regained her senses. Thinking of her father-in-law’s affection for the younger sister and the importance he placed on Xiao Yeyang, a cold sweat broke out on her back.
What the Guo family thought, Daohua did not care. At the mont, she was carefully appeasing an angry Xiao Yeyang, attentively serving him food.
Unfortunately, even though she piled his plate high, Xiao Yeyang did not touch a single bite.
The Guo family won, who were close to Madam Guo and witnessing their argunt, imdiately took delight in Daohua’s misfortune, “Yeyang’s wife, stop serving Yeyang. Look, he hasn’t eaten a single bite. Clearly, he doesn’t want the food you’ve served.”
Daohua glanced at the woman, then turned to look at Xiao Yeyang, “Husband, you don’t want to eat the food I’ve served?”
Seeing Daohua giving him a ‘dare to say no and you’ll see what happens’ look, combined with an outwardly strong but inwardly helpless pitiable expression, Xiao Yeyang sighed and picked up his chopsticks to eat the food Daohua had served him.
Seeing this, Daohua imdiately taunted the woman with a cocked eyebrow, “My husband loves the food I serve the most. But Madam, how co you’re only taking care of yourself and not serving your husband?”
With that, she gave the other woman’s husband a ‘you are really pitiable’ look.
That woman and her husband: “…”
“Husband, I want to eat sweet and sour fish, but there are bones inside.”
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua blinking anxiously and with little confidence, took a deep breath, served himself a large piece of fish, and began seriously deboning it.
Having finished, Xiao Yeyang intended to place the fish in Daohua’s bowl for her to eat, but seeing her gleeful little eyes, he changed direction with his chopsticks and fed the fish to her mouth.
Daohua stiffened in embarrassnt, not needing to look to feel all eyes upon her, she gave a sheepish laugh, glaring at Xiao Yeyang as she braced herself to eat the fish.
Being fed by her husband in such a public setting…
Ah, it would be another day of gossip and rumors tomorrow.
But now that the precedent was set, if she didn’t take advantage of Xiao Yeyang, she would truly be letting herself down.
So, Daohua ignored the odd looks from others in the room and let herself go.
“Husband, I want to eat shrimp.”
“Husband, I want to eat roast deer tendon.”
“Husband…”
With each dish Daohua suggested, Xiao Yeyang patiently served and tenderly fed her.
The rest of the people in the room: Were being forced a mouthful of dog food, blinding indeed!
The banquet continued, and the previous event was forgotten as everyone beca preoccupied with watching Xiao Yeyang feed Daohua.
Duke Dingguo breathed a sigh of relief. Watching his grandson serve food unhappily, so cooperative, could it be, perhaps his grandson was under his wife’s thumb?
