Chapter 243: Chapter 241: Getting Married?

"No matter what, if it’s your home, then it’s my home too."

Ning Ruoxi said with a completely serious expression.

"Such a good girl."

Ye Ling gently ruffled her hair, his gaze filled with tenderness.

After getting out of the car, Ning Ruoxi carried the gift they had prepared for Ye Feng and followed Ye Ling upstairs.

Somewhat to Ye Ling’s surprise, compared to how nervous she had been on the way over, Ning Ruoxi seemed quite calm now.

"You’re not nervous?"

Ye Ling asked, a little curious.

"Not at all."

Ning Ruoxi stuck out her tongue playfully.

"Alright then."

Ye Ling shrugged and knocked on the door.

At that moment, however, he clearly felt Ning Ruoxi shrink back behind him.

’The little kitten is still trying to act tough, huh?’

A smile appeared on Ye Ling’s lips, but he didn’t call her out on it.

Not long after, Ye Feng’s voice came from inside, and the door was pushed open.

"Dad, miss me?"

Ye Ling looked at Ye Feng, blinking and asking with a smile.

Ye Feng opened the door, stuck his head out to glance at Ye Ling, and then completely ignored him. His gaze landed on Ning Ruoxi, and his face lit up with a brilliant smile.

"Xiaoxi, you’re here! Come, come in and sit down!"

As Ye Feng spoke, he reached out, bypassed Ye Ling in front of him, and pulled Ning Ruoxi into the house.

At that moment, Ye Ling was dumbfounded.

Honestly, before coming, he had imagined many scenarios for what would happen when the door opened.

For example, Ye Feng seeing him and giving him a hug in joyful surprise?

But, clearly, Ye Ling had been overthinking things.

Ning Ruoxi was also a bit baffled. As she followed Ye Feng inside, she turned her head and blinked at Ye Ling.

"Dad, this is too much. Who’s your actual son here?"

Ye Ling rolled his eyes and followed them inside.

"Hmph!"

Ye Feng pulled Ning Ruoxi down to sit on the sofa and looked at Ye Ling. "You still remember you have a father? You only let me know you’re coming back on the day itself?"

"Er... I kind of forgot..."

Ye Ling touched his nose, feeling a bit awkward, and suppressed a cough.

"What? You only told him today? Wasn’t this decided half a month ago?"

Ning Ruoxi paused, blurting it out subconsciously.

Instantly, a hostile gaze landed on Ye Ling.

"Er... hear my excuse—no, wait, let me explain..."

Ye Ling immediately broke into an awkward grin.

"Hmph!"

Ye Feng shot Ye Ling a glare and snorted coldly.

"Uncle, this is a gift Ye Ling and I prepared for you. Happy New Year!"

Ning Ruoxi, realizing she had let the cat out of the bag, stuck her tongue out innocently and changed the subject, handing the prepared gift to Ye Feng.

"Oh, Xiaoxi is so thoughtful. Not like this brat, who’s never prepared any gifts for me," Ye Feng huffed.

Ye Ling stood there, completely speechless.

’What did I do now? How am I involved again?’

’Besides, I was the one who paid for it, okay...’

At this moment, Ye Ling felt deeply wronged.

"Here, here, Xiaoxi, this is a red envelope for you."

Just then, Ye Feng took out a prepared red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Ning Ruoxi with a smile.

’That red envelope looks stuffed. It has to be at least ten thousand, right?’

"Oh, Uncle, I can’t accept this..."

Ning Ruoxi immediately waved her hands, refusing.

"It’s fine. If our dad is giving it to you, just take it."

Ye Ling chuckled, then looked at Ye Feng with an expectant expression and asked, "Dad, where’s mine?"

"Yours? You didn’t get me a gift, so why should I give you a red envelope?"

The smile on Ye Feng’s face vanished as he glared at Ye Ling.

"Pfft..."

Ning Ruoxi couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

Hearing Ning Ruoxi’s laugh, Ye Ling shot her a reproachful glance.

’Why do I feel a little sour all of a sudden?’

Ning Ruoxi naturally noticed Ye Ling’s gaze and stuck out her tongue playfully.

"Xiaoxi, that brat may not say a lot of serious things, but what he said just now was right. If I’m giving it to you, you should take it."

Ye Feng looked at Ning Ruoxi, his face once again wreathed in smiles, and stuffed the red envelope directly into her hands.

’Is this the legendary preferential treatment?’

Ye Ling was now completely speechless. He sighed and flopped onto the sofa.

"Kid, what are you lying around for? Get to the kitchen and start making dinner."

Seeing Ye Ling lie down, Ye Feng immediately commanded.

"What?"

Ye Ling felt his mind go a little blank.

’I drove all day, and he actually wants me to cook?’

’He really is my biological father!’

’Only a real dad would do something like this, right?’

"Sigh..."

Ye Ling sighed, got up, and walked toward the kitchen.

’Life is hard; Brother Ling can only sigh.’

Ning Ruoxi couldn’t help but laugh again. She found the sight of Ye Ling getting thwarted by his father especially amusing.

It seemed to prove the old saying.

Experience always wins!

"Xiaoxi, how long have you and Ye Ling been together?" Ye Feng asked as soon as he saw Ye Ling go to the kitchen.

"It’s been about half a year, I think."

Caught off guard by the question, Ning Ruoxi answered with a serious expression.

"Half a year... So, have you thought about when you’ll get married?"

Ye Feng asked again with a warm smile.

’If Ye Ling were here, he’d definitely be shouting that his dad is a legend.’

’Sure enough, experience always wins!’

’Talk about the ultimate wingman!’

’He jumped straight to the topic of marriage!’

Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Ning Ruoxi’s pretty face flushed crimson.

"We haven’t decided yet..."

Ning Ruoxi said, lowering her head.

"Xiaoxi, listen to me. I know you young people aren’t in a hurry to get married, but I think you could consider getting engaged first. You can always get married later, after you graduate or whenever."

Ye Feng said with a kind expression.

Meanwhile, in his heart, he couldn’t help but grumble about Ye Ling.

’That brat is so clueless! They’ve been dating for half a year and he still hasn’t talked about marriage?’

...

"ACHOO!"

In the kitchen, Ye Ling, who was dicing potatoes, couldn’t help but sneeze.

"Someone must be talking about me..."

Ye Ling muttered to himself, shook his head with a sigh, and went back to dicing the potatoes.

...

「Back in the living room.」

"I think we should arrange a time to meet your family and discuss the engagement."

Seeing Ning Ruoxi blush and stay silent, Ye Feng pressed on.

It could be said that Ye Feng was exhausting all his efforts to marry Ye Ling off—er, no, that’s not right. It should be, he was exhausting all his efforts to help Ye Ling bring Ning Ruoxi home as his wife!
