Chapter 711 Liu Aihong, who can't see things clearly (1)
Xie Chang'an arrived at the office precisely at 10 o'clock.
Ye immediately went over, sat on Xie Chang'an's desk with his left side, crossed his long legs, and looked Xie Chang'an up and down as he made tea.
"You've been in the army for over ten years, and this is the first time you've asked for leave. What's the reason?"
"Tch!" Xie Chang'an rolled his eyes, finished making the tea, and went out.
Ye immediately followed, glancing around to make sure no one was watching, and muttered in a low voice, "You didn't overindulge last night and are now exhausted, did you?"
Xie Chang'an turned his head and gave Ye a sharp look. "You're getting more and more nosy!"
Ye felt the steel knife glide across his face, but he shrugged it off indifferently.
"You're angry because I guessed right?"
Xie Chang'an snorted heavily and quickened his pace toward the training ground.
Ye followed closely behind, chattering incessantly, "Hey, how much dowry do I think I should prepare for the Luo family?"
"Are you out of your mind?!" Xie Chang'an was utterly speechless. Ye was too immersed in the role and had become addicted to playing the son-in-law of the Luo family.
"Er Ya is only seventeen this year, and you're already twenty-seven! You're so much older than her, the Luo family won't agree to it!"
Ye was unconvinced and retorted forcefully, "Aren't you also ten years older than Luo Ning? Your father-in-law still married Luo Ning to you, so why is it different for me? What do I lack compared to you? I'm accomplished in both literature and martial arts, and my family background is decent!"
Xie Chang'an cut to the chase, "You call that a decent family background? You're all alone in your family!"
"That's good. Er Ya won't have to deal with mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationships or sister-in-law conflicts after marrying me," Ye Qiang announced forcefully, and also delivered a sarcastic jab at Xie Chang'an.
"Compared to Luo Ning, Er Ya is much happier!"
"You're crazy!" Xie Chang'an shouted angrily as he rushed towards the training field.
While feeling sorry for Luo Ning for all the grievances she had suffered in the past, she also felt a strong sense of disgust towards Ye Yifan.
Whether Er Ya can be found is another matter. Ye has wanted to spend his whole life with her, so he's probably possessed.
When Xie Chang'an arrived at the training ground, he found that Xiao Di's seat was empty. He looked at Shen Da'an and asked, "What's going on?"
Before Shen Da'an could reply, Ye Ji stepped forward to report, "Xiao Di has taken sick leave."
Shen Da'an nodded and immediately added, "Xiao Di got up last night and drank some cold water, and then he started having diarrhea. Luo Yizhen and I took him to the hospital, and the doctor said he had acute gastroenteritis and is still on an IV drip."
Xie Chang'an immediately understood that this was most likely done by his young wife.
My wife has a very strong temper; I need to go home early tonight and coax her properly.
Ye scrutinized Xie Chang'an's profile, as if trying to peer into his soul and explore his thoughts.
Xie Chang'an glared at him with icy eyes, "Go run twenty laps for me!"
"Yes!" Ye accepted the punishment and disappeared in a flash.
Everyone's lips twitched. Deputy Regiment Commander Ye was becoming less and less like himself. What had happened to cause such a big change in him?
As soon as it was time to leave work in the evening, Xie Chang'an left the military region and even kept Ye in the office to work overtime, so that Ye wouldn't come over for a free meal.
He even went to his in-laws to make his presence known.
As soon as Xie Chang'an entered the room, Liu Aihong, who was sitting in a wheelchair, brightened up. She craned her neck to look behind Xie Chang'an, but was disappointed not to see Ye. "Little Ye didn't come back with you!"
"Mom, he has to work overtime and can't come over for a while!" Xie Chang'an extinguished the flame of hope in Liu Aihong's heart. Mother-in-law, your son-in-law is me, me, me, not Ye. You don't need to pay so much attention to him.
"Is that so?" Liu Aihong immediately wilted. Last time, Xiao Ye said she had found four leads, and she was hoping that Xiao Ye would come and bring her good news.
"Chang'an, Xiao Ye is the deputy commander, he shouldn't be that busy, right? You're the commander, so help him with some work and let him come back for dinner tonight."
"Mom!" Xie Chang'an's face darkened instantly. He hadn't been home for a week, and Ye had already taken over this place?
Her mother actually sided with Ye without hesitation.
He is her rightful son-in-law; there is no reason for the head to help the deputy with their work.
Liu Aihong's expression also darkened, and she grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Why are you shouting so loudly? I can hear you!"
Xie Chang'an clenched his fist in frustration, his voice much softer, "Where's Luo Ning?"
"She went out and said she wouldn't be back for dinner tonight, and told us not to wait for her," Liu Aihong replied casually, pointing to the phone next to the sofa.
"Why don't you call Ye and ask him to come over for dinner? It's the same if he goes to work after dinner."
"Go ahead and hit me if you want!" Xie Chang'an was furious and turned to stride out the door.
Zheng Xiu'e, who had been cooking in the kitchen, overheard everything, but she didn't want to interfere in the Luo family's affairs, so she didn't go out.
Auntie has gone too far. When will she ever learn to see things clearly?
The study door suddenly opened, and Ling Wei walked out, followed by Quan Jin.
Liu Aihong stared at the doorway and muttered under her breath, "His temper has only grown stronger since he became an official!"
Ling Wei and Quan Jin exchanged a glance, wondering what had happened.
In the courtyard, Luo Baiwan saw Xie Chang'an storming past and hurriedly called out to him, "Chang'an, it's almost time to eat, where are you going?"
Xie Chang'an ignored him and disappeared like a gust of wind.
Luo Baiwan shook his head and entered the room with his briefcase.
Liu Aihong immediately saw him and hurriedly complained, "I just asked Chang'an to call Ye and ask him to come back for dinner, and he got angry! He has such a bad temper now that he's an official, it's really tough on Daya."
"Shut up!" Luo Baiwan interrupted Liu Aihong angrily.
Quan Jin pulled Ling Wei back to the study, leaving Luo Baiwan and Liu Aihong alone in the living room.
Liu Aihong was immediately displeased, "Why are you yelling at me? It's Xie Chang'an who has a bad temper, back then..."
"I told you to shut up, didn't you hear me?" Luo Baiwan slammed his briefcase on the sofa and glared at Liu Aihong with a dark face.
Liu Aihong was stunned. She hadn't said anything, so why was Daya's father so angry?
"Da Ya and Chang An are doing very well, you don't need to worry about them!" Luo Baiwan declared forcefully. His wife had been being overly enthusiastic towards Ye lately, and he couldn't stand it. Luckily, Chang An wasn't home, otherwise he would definitely feel uncomfortable.
As it turned out, his worst fears came true: Chang'an called Ye back, and the question arose: who was the real son-in-law of this family?
Luo Baiwan didn't know what to say about his wife.
"What's so good about it? Xie Chang'an hasn't been home in ages!" Liu Aihong got angry just thinking about it, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Luo Baiwan sat on the sofa, pinched the bridge of his nose, and looked helpless.
"Chang'an is very busy now, managing such a large regiment. When Daya was at home, he often went out in the middle of the night and didn't come back until very late."
Da Ya isn't home, so there's no point in him coming back; he can't leave the military region either.
Besides, this is his home. He can come back whenever he wants, or not if he doesn't.
Why do you need to interfere?
We were able to move in thanks to Chang'an; that courtyard house was even bought by Chang'an himself. Don't take your good fortune for granted!
Liu Aihong became furious and jumped up and down in anger.
