Joking aside, if his parents found out he had shared a hotel room with a beautiful woman in another city yesterday, his legs would be broken for sure.
Of course, Cheng Xiaofan was most worried that his own goddess Bai would misunderstand him, thinking he had truly found another woman outside.
Cheng Xiaofan was a man who had been hurt by women, and he naturally knew how painful it was for those who were hurt.
"Yiling, that beautiful woman's name is Li Mingxi, and she is the assistant to Lu Shengming of the Jianghu Affairs Bureau!"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Actually, nothing happened between her and me."
Bai Yiling smiled and said, "Xiaofan, you don't need to explain to me. I know nothing happened between you and Li Mingxi, I am very clear about this!"
"..." What did his own goddess Bai know?
Wasn't her trust in him too blind?
"Yiling, I haven't explained the whole thing to you yet, how do you know nothing happened between Li Mingxi and me?" Cheng Xiaofan asked somewhat puzzled.
Bai Yiling hesitated, her tone full of shyness, and said, "If something really happened between you and Li Mingxi, you wouldn't have the energy to go to the dragon boat."
"Haha... My goddess Bai hit the nail on the head with that!"
Cheng Xiaofan finally breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard this. "Yiling, I really like your honesty on the dragon boat, it's too..."
"Stop talking!"
Bai Yiling on the phone was completely embarrassed by him and said, "Xiaofan, I need to tell you that after Lu Yinshuang arrives, she will definitely question you about this matter in person."
"Please don't get angry with her, after all, we used to be sworn sisters!"
Cheng Xiaofan said with a smile, "Don't worry, Lu Yinshuang is your sister, which is equivalent to my cheap little aunt. How could I get angry with her?"
"I'll try my best to explain to her!"
Bai Yiling said, "Actually, I've explained to Lu Yinshuang many times that you are not that kind of person, but she just doesn't believe me and says I'm blinded by foolishness."
"This matter is still best for you to clarify!"
"Okay, it's nothing!" In Cheng Xiaofan's opinion, as long as his own goddess was fine, it didn't matter what anyone else questioned.
A clear conscience fears no slander.
If he hadn't done something, how could anyone fabricate a false accusation!
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Xiaofan entered the house. At this moment, Miao Xiuhua came out of the kitchen with a large basin of egg noodles, smiling and said, "Time to eat, time to eat."
"Everyone serve yourselves, three fried eggs per bowl of noodles."
Tang Guihua then brought out four plates of side dishes on a tray: salted beans with diced dried tofu, steamed drunken chicken, cold fruit salad, and shredded green pepper with pork.
These were all dishes that went well with rice and were absolutely delicious with noodles.
"Let's eat!"
Cheng Fugui beckoned everyone, took a large bowl, filled it with more than half a bowl of noodles, added three fried eggs, and poured a layer of scallion broth, handing it to Luo Changsheng.
He then served noodles to Tu Biao and added three fried eggs.
After all, these two were Duke Zhou, their status was noble, and in the countryside, they were the highest authority, so they could not be allowed to serve themselves.
Next, Cheng Fugui beckoned Tu Jiayanyans, Tang Guihua, and others, saying, "You've been busy for a while. Put down your work and come eat breakfast. Don't go hungry!"
After everyone had served their noodles, Cheng Xiaofan then served himself a bowl.
Luo Changsheng said to Cheng Xiaofan with a smile, "Xiaofan, today you need to eat a double portion, two bowls of noodles, four fried eggs. You can't eat single portions."
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "It's okay, I have a big appetite and can eat as much as I can handle."
Miao Xiuhua rolled her eyes at Cheng Xiaofan and laughed, "Your Grandpa Luo doesn't mean you have to force yourself. It means today is a joyous day for your engagement. You and Yiling are officially paired, so you can't eat single portions!"
"Mom, I understand!" Cheng Xiaofan replied with a smile.
He knew the customs of Zhuxi Village.
Considering that Bai Yiling's friends in C City had not yet arrived, after breakfast, everyone decided to delay going to the construction site a bit.
Besides her cousin Han Jie, Bai Yiling's only relatives were her good sisters. These people were all considered her maternal family for the time being.
According to rural customs, the men's side could not go until the woman's relatives and friends had all arrived.
At this time, Miao Xiuhua asked Cheng Xiaofan, "Have you finished furnishing the villa house with all the necessary furniture?"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "It's all equipped."
Miao Xiuhua said, "I've already spoken with Shen Ruobing. After Yiling moves into the villa, let her move in from the village office and live with Yiling."
"Fortunately, they are like sisters, and it's good for them to have each other for company!"
"..." Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan's eyes widened immediately. How could he possibly respond to his mother?
He had originally thought that after his goddess Bai moved into the new villa, he could legitimately carry out their secret plans and bring the story that happened in the dragon boat of his dreams into reality.
Now, with his mother's interference, and an extra person in between, how could he possibly have the drama of divine merging with his goddess?
Mom, am I not your biological son!
"Xiaofan, why are you widening your eyes and staring at me?" Miao Xiuhua asked.
Cheng Xiaofan suddenly came back to his senses, immediately put on a smiling face, and said, "It's nothing, Mother is wise, and your son will listen to all your arrangements!"
Miao Xiuhua explained to Cheng Xiaofan again, "You are like a restless cat, disappearing for days at a time. The villa is so large, and Yiling would be scared living there alone. Letting Ruobing accompany her is just right."
"Besides, you and Yiling are not officially married yet. Having another person live with Yiling will also avoid gossip!"
"Mom is right, I'll listen to you!" Cheng Xiaofan immediately turned into a good boy in front of his mother.
Miao Xiuhua narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Hmph, it's good that you're sensible!"
Uh!
Did I not used to be sensible?
Cheng Xiaofan pouted, feeling speechless.
Ding!
At this moment, a text message alert sounded from his phone.
Cheng Xiaofan opened his phone and saw that it was a text message from Bai Yiling.
Bai Yiling informed him that Lu Yinshuang and her group had already arrived at the construction site.
She asked Cheng Xiaofan to be mentally prepared, stating that Lu Yinshuang's arrival this time was ferocious, and any good feelings she had accumulated towards him last time had all dropped to freezing point.
Moreover, Lu Yinshuang had told those younger sisters about this. Except for Shen Ruobing, who expressed reservations about this matter, the other younger sisters seemed quite angry.
Bai Yiling once again reiterated to Cheng Xiaofan that she and they had all sworn brotherhood.
In response, Cheng Xiaofan replied very clearly: "Hello, Goddess Bai. Lu Yinshuang and the others are your good sisters, which is equivalent to my aunt and sisters. No matter how they treat me, I will greet them with a smile."
After receiving Cheng Xiaofan's reply, Bai Yiling couldn't help but find it amusing. My mysterious man is quite narcissistic!
The sisters he swore brotherhood with back then have now become his aunts and sisters.
