Secret Marriage: Reborn as A Beautiful Model Student Chapter 266 - Meeting the Family (4)

Chapter 266: Meeting the Family (4)

The barbecue was ready, and the food was served on porcelain plates.
The barbecue smelled delicious, and Ye Tianxin was excited to try it.
“Elder Brother Li, this is barbecued pork belly. Try it.”
Li Qingcang and Ye Tianxin, dressed to the nines, were dining in front of a stall, enjoying street food.
The other patrons of this tiny stall had no idea that the most extraordinary love story would happen to these two young people.
Their love was destined to be legendary.
Even the most ordinary food would taste superb when eaten with somebody you liked.
That very night, Li Qingcang brought Ye Tianxin back to the Li family home.
The two walked into the living room.
Wu Tong stood up from the sofa. She looked at Ye Tianxin, who was standing beside her son, with a sharp gaze.
“This must be Little Tianxin,” she greeted them.
Ye Tianxin could sense that Wu Tong did not like her. She suppressed the uneasiness she felt and greeted her instead, “Good evening, Auntie.”
“I like Little Tianxin very much. Qingcang, I have already cleaned up the guest room. Let Little Tianxin stay there tonight. Tianxin is your savior, and we must treat her well.”
Wu Tong tried her best to keep her emotions in check.
She knew about everything that had happened at the banquet tonight.
She also knew that Old Madame Xie liked Ye Tianxin. But so what?
“Mom, I will sleep in the guest room. Let Tianxin have my room.”
The guest room was small and was not facing a good view. Furthermore, no bathroom was attached to it. Little Tianxin would definitely not feel at ease staying there.
“Then I shall take Little Tianxin upstairs,” Wu Tong announced. “Rest early.”
“Let me take her there.”
Wu Tong glared at Li Qingcang. “Child, don’t you know how to avoid gossip? Tianxin is a girl, and she values her reputation.”
“Oh.”
Li Qingcang watched as Wu Tong led Ye Tianxin upstairs. Ye Tianxin made a face at Li Qingcang just before she followed Wu Tong to the stairs, and he smiled at her.
He thought how adorable his Little Tianxin was.
His mother would definitely like Tianxin.
Wu Tong could not make things difficult for Ye Tianxin in front of her son. After all, she saved her son.
“Tianxin, these are the pajamas that your Elder Sister Xingchen prepared for you. Wear them to bed once you are done washing up.”
“Thank you, Auntie.”
“Tianxin, what kind of boy do you like?” Wu Tong asked out of nowhere. “Shall I introduce boys to you if I meet suitable ones?”
Ye Tianxin thought before responding to Wu Tong’s question. Was Wu Tong intending to find her a boyfriend?
She wrung her hands a little uneasily. The sense of inferiority immediately took hold of her.
She was a little nervous, shocked, and did not know what to do.
She thought that her liking Li Qingcang was a secret that only she knew.
However, she did not expect that Wu Tong could see through her innermost thoughts just like that.
Or, were mothers all so sensitive?
“Auntie…”
Wu Tong smiled and said, “Do you want to say that I am mistaken?”
“Auntie, that’s not what I want to say. What I want to say is that I know that I am not worthy of Elder Brother Li right now. But please give me two years. I will definitely be worthy of Elder Brother Li,” Ye Tianxin pleaded with Wu Tong sincerely.
However, Wu Tong was not pleased by this. Instead, she felt even unhappier about the situation. She thought, ‘Are girls these days all so scheming?’
Ye Tianxin had only saved Li Qingcang’s life, and now she wanted to marry into a rich family. Rags to riches, eh?
