After He Jinxuan tidied up the dishes, Xinyan handed him the knitted sweater: "Try it on and see if it fits."
He Jinxuan lowered his eyes to see the sweater in the girlâs hands and was overjoyed: "You knitted this for me?"
Xinyan rolled her eyes at him: "If itâs not for you, who else would it be for?"
He Jinxuan was thrilled, extending his hands to take the sweater: "Thank you, Yanyan."
Seeing the pattern on the sweater, he smiled and said, "Itâs knitted really well."
In fact, he had also prepared many things for Xinyan, but he hadnât fetched them from the city yet: "Yanyan, Iâve prepared some things youâll need for school, but I havenât gotten them from the city yet. Once youâre done with school tomorrow, shall we go and pick them up together?"
Xinyan hadnât expected him to prepare things for her, so she giggled sweetly: "What did you prepare for me?"
He Jinxuan looked at her playful appearance: "Youâll see when we get there."
Holding the sweater, he felt extremely satisfied.
Xinyan saw him smiling at the sweater in his hands and reminded him, "Try it on."
He Jinxuan glanced at his shirt and directly put the sweater over it: "Itâs just right."
Xinyan adjusted it for him: "Hmm, the fit is perfect, the size is good too."
He Jinxuan didnât mind the heat and kept looking at it from all angles, feeling very pleased that Xinyan had knitted it for him with her own hands.
Xinyan saw him like this: "Take it off; itâs too hot, youâll be uncomfortable if you wear it for too long."
He Jinxuan laughed: "Thank you, Yanyan, I really like it."
Just after taking off the sweater, they heard the argument from the other side getting louder, evidently, the Yao Family had joined in.
The two of them exchanged a glance and were both aware that the situation had become even more heated.
After all, they both knew about Lyu Junchengâs vasectomy, oh, aside from them, Doctor Li and Sister Tian were also in the know.
Presumably, only Sister Tian in the crowd knew the real reason why Lyu Jun hit Yao Hui.
On the other side, Yao Hui was covering her face, glaring fiercely at Lyu Juncheng.
And Mrs. Yao, who rushed over, reproached him: "Jun Cheng, whatâs gotten into you? Huihui is pregnant, how can you lay a hand on her?"
Lyu Juncheng looked at Yao Hui still pretending to be innocent and whispered through gritted teeth at her ear: "Yao Hui, my patience is limited. You know what youâve done. Youâd better get the Yao Family out of here now, or donât blame me for not sparing your dignity."
Yao Hui was terrified by these words, her eyes wide with fear, looking at Lyu Juncheng: Could it be that he found out about that?
She didnât dare challenge Lyu Juncheng further: "Mom, Dad, Big Brother, Jun Cheng and I just had a little misunderstanding. Weâll sort it out in a moment. Itâs no big deal, you should head back first."
Mrs. Yao couldnât believe what her daughter was saying and got angry: "Heâs hit you, and youâre still speaking for him? Is your brain filled with crap?"
Yao Hui certainly wanted her family to stand up for her, but she didnât dare to gamble. If Lyu Juncheng really knew that matter and blurted it out, how could she ever show her face again?
Yao Big Brother couldnât stand his sisterâs subdued demeanor: "Mom and Dad, since Sis doesnât need us to back her up, letâs stop troubling ourselves here and head home."
Then he looked at Yao Hui again: "And you, think about it. Is it that you donât want us to stand up for you this time, or will you never need our family to step in again in the future when you and your husband have troubles?
Give us a definite answer today so we can stop making ourselves uncomfortable."
These words left Yao Hui stunned. She knew that insisting on marrying her brother-in-law before had displeased Big Brother. But now, in front of so many people, what did he mean by this?
Mrs. Yao felt her eldest sonâs words were inappropriate, gave him a shove: "Zhigang, what nonsense are you spouting as her big brother?"
Yao Zhigang was fed up with his sister: "Mom, if you didnât indulge her, she wouldnât have turned out like this today."
Yao Hui already felt embarrassed, and with her Big Brother not helping but firing sarcastic comments instead, she got anxious: "You think Iâve embarrassed you, fine, from now on, leave me alone."
Yao Zhigang squinted at the younger sister he had protected since childhood: "Fine, since you said so, look after yourself from now on."
With that, he ignored their parents standing amidst the crowd and walked away with big strides.
The scene became awkward for a while.
Wishing to salvage her son and daughterâs reputations, Mrs. Yao approached the stern-faced Lyu Juncheng: "Jun Cheng, talk things through with Huihui. You know her personality, sheâs just high-strung.
In married life, who doesnât bump heads sometimes? Youâre older, give her more leeway."
