Chapter 46 - Big Family {2}

"Qiqi, Xiao Long, have a seat. We'd like to have a chat with you over dinner together. While the big family has gathered here," Xiao Chuan waved his hand to the two grandchildren, making Qiao Xin and Xiao Long seem to glance at each other with their strange gazes. Xiao Long immediately grabbed Qiao Xin's shoulder and went back to pretending that the two were a very good couple. Warm and full of love.

Carefully, Xiao Long pulled out a chair for Qiao Xin. Qiao Xin was stunned by Xiao Long's behavior. Yes, the man who now holds the status of being her husband is truly total in carrying out his role as the perfect husband figure in the world in front of all the family.

Qiao Xin didn't want to be touched, and she didn't want to be moved, by whatever circumstances and by whatever play Xiao Long was trying to do now. Even Qiao Xin should have replayed Xiao Long's play to become the perfect play in the world. Isn't a husband and wife who love each other, and are happy, a charade that both of them must do for real?

"Thank you, dear, you are indeed the most considerate," Qiao Xin said, her eyes twinkling mischievously as she lightly slapped Xiao Long's chest. Xiao Long, who was suddenly treated like that by Qiao Xin, seemed to be immediately shocked, and he was frozen on the spot with an extremely confused look on his face.

"Xiao, what are you doing? Don't you know that Qiqi is now your wife? A little flirty with your husband isn't a bad thing if you show it to your own family, right?" Xiao Chuan seemed to clarify what Qiao Xin was about to do.

Qiao Xin rolled her eyes in embarrassment and when she finally sat down. Xiao Long glared at Qiao Xin, but he sat down too. It's nothing, and Xiao Long just isn't used to it yet. The problem now was. Usually, Qiao Xin was passive, how hard Xiao Long tried to be the husband and man who loved Qiao Xin so much, but the woman's response was really cold and stiff. Now that Qiao Xin was pretending to be flirtatious with him, it was something extraordinary.

"Ah, no Grandpa, I'm just a little blown away by Qiqi's spoiled attitude. Looks like we're going to have a long night later," Xiao Long replied.

Qiao Xin then choked on her saliva, causing her mother to give Qiao Xin some water to drink immediately.

"Why are you choking, Qiao? Just be a little careful," her mother scolded. Qiao Xin just smiled faintly.

"Apparently, Xiao's words seem to have taken Qiqi by surprise, she's still not used to this discussion, but of course this is what we've been waiting for."

"Wait?" Qiao Xin asked stupidly.

Xiao Long still looked relaxed, and he opened the plate for Qiao Xin and got some dinner menus. A very sweet attitude made Qiao Xin again stunned. Yes, not even just Qiao Xin but all of their families too. Even now, Xiao Chuan seemed to be smiling while elbowing his children, seeing the closeness of this new husband and wife.

"So, immediately give us grandchildren, so that this house becomes crowded,"

Both Xiao Long and Qiao Xin immediately choked on hearing those words. Both of their faces were bright red, and in unison, they both drank the water in the glass until it was almost finished.

"What about the two of you, having children isn't a strange thing for a married couple right? After all, married couples now don't prefer to have children when they are young? Why are you acting like what we said is such a strange thing."

Xiao Long and Qiao Xin looked at each other again, and then both smiled faintly. Xiao Long again embraced Qiao Xin's shoulders affectionately.

"No problem, Mother. We are just surprised by this discussion, we haven't even had a wedding night yet. Isn't that right, honey?" he said to Qiao Xin. Xiao Long raised an eyebrow, and then he glanced at his family with the corner of his eye. It was as if he was telling Qiao Xin that Qiao Xin should also participate in this play.

"Of course, honey. I'm still embarrassed to talk about this matter," Qiao Xin stammered.

Seeing the shy expressions that the two of them showed, their family laughed again. They talked again until night fell, until Xiao Long and Qiao Xin decided to go back into the room.

Both of them seemed to take a deep breath. A thing they went through today was indeed not easy at all. The two of them didn't think that the play would require so much energy.

"It seems that out of this entire house, the only room is the safest place in the world. I didn't think that acting would require a lot of energy," Qiao Xin complained. She seemed to be lying on the bed, causing Xiao Long, who had just entered, to glare. Xiao Long approached the bed with big strides and pulled Qiao Xin's legs until she fell to the floor perfectly.

Xiao Long immediately sprayed germ killer on his bed, and then he looked at Qiao Xin, who was still lying on the floor with a pained expression on her face.

"Didn't I tell you since you first walked into my room, Qiqi? If your realm isn't in bed, you sleep downstairs, I sleep upstairs, and you only have access to that red carpet, nothing less, nothing more, because I don't want my things to be littered with rotten trash like you!"

Qiao Xin couldn't help but snort, and she didn't expect Xiao Long to bring out his bad side when he was in the room. A thing that made Qiao Xin feel like killing Xiao Long even right now. Then Qiao Xin pulled Xiao Long's leg until the man fell, and Qiao Xin strangled Xiao Long's neck.

"You ignorant man! Do you think I'd like to sleep with you in that damn bed, huh? Not at all! but at least you have the slightest conscience not to make me feel the worst in the world! What an ignorant man you are, you really are so annoying!" Qiao Xin shouted. She immediately took the pillow on the bed, beat Xiao Long with the pillow until all of the contents inside the pillow came off. The white and fluffy feathers flew through the room in a very real way.

Annoyed, Xiao Long now turned around. He immediately pulled Qiao Xin and took the pillow to Qiao Xin, with Xiao Long sitting on Qiao Xin's thigh.

"Don't you know how much this pillow is worth? we even bought it imported. Would an ugly woman like you understand how expensive this pillow is?"

"I do not care!"

"You-"

"You guys have… slept?"

Xiao Long and Qiao Xin were shocked. How could they not? Xiao Long's mother suddenly came into their room carrying a ceramic cup filled with water which was quite strange. The smell of ginseng was obvious, and the smell of several other herbs.

Qiao Xin and Xiao Long immediately sat down in an orderly manner, and then the two embraced each other. They were ignoring the fine hairs that had begun to fall perfectly on the floor.

"We," said a somewhat confused Xiao Long. Either way, having him and Qiao Xin both on the floor would surely make his mother suspicious. "We are-"

"I understand, I understand," said Xiao Long's mother, which managed to make Xiao Long confused.

"What?" asked Xiao Long stupidly. Their mother smiled meaningfully, then she blinked mischievously, placing two ceramic glasses in which there was a strange drink on the table. "New brides today are indeed different, if you do that you are no longer on the bed, you have to go down with the sensation of feathers. -feathers flying everywhere. Is this one of the tricks to add excitement on the wedding night?"

Qiao Xin and Xiao Long immediately fell silent. Both of them didn't expect that their mother's fantasy would even go that far. How could their mother think that the two of them were having a wedding night right now? However, Qiao Xin and Xiao Long didn't care, and both smiled blandly without saying anything.

"Oh yes, those are health drinks that Grandpa made for you, the one in the white cup is Qiqi's, the one in the brown cup is Xiao's. You must drink tonight."

"For what ma'am?" Xiao Long asked. Because all this time, no matter how tired he was, he had never been given such a potion. Especially now that the one who had made the potion was his grandfather.

"For the new grandson," his mother muttered, then his mother looked back at Xiao Long and Qiao Xin. "It's just a potion to increase your energy, today you are very tired, aren't you? So you have to drink the potion so that you will be fresher tomorrow when you wake up."

"But, usually I'm never given the potion?" Xiao Long inquired, who was still feeling awkward about all this.

"Because the potion just came yesterday, and you hardly ever come home either. Do you think Mother has to bother making potions and delivering them to your apartment every day?" annoyed Xiao Long's mother.

"But why should my potion and Qiqi's potion be different?" Xiao Long asked again.

"Because the potion for Qiqi is a potion that contains herbal ingredients to facilitate menstruation. Will you be able to menstruate? So many questions!" Xiao Long's mother immediately came out of her son's room, and then she smiled faintly. Her face turned red, and she approached her father-in-law as well as her husband, along with the Liu family, who had been watching the new couple.

"How?" they asked in unison.

"There doesn't seem to be a need for the potions, they're already really very active," Xiao Long's mother replied.
