1225 Side Story 4: It Also Depends on Whether He Is Willing or Not.
Silence.
The air seemed to have frozen at this moment.
Shen Li did not know if she should continue to place the chess piece in her hand.
Fang Yunyi clenched her small handbag.
!!
Lu Huaiyu slowly raised his brows.
Lu Zheng closed his eyes.
Only Old Master Lu was stunned as he stared at the exquisite and beautiful figurine that had fallen to the ground.
“Yunyi, is that… Ah Li?”
Fang Yunyi was silent for a moment, then she took a deep breath and immediately picked up the keychain, revealing an elegant and dignified smile.
“I believe you’re mistaken.”
As she spoke, she was about to put the keychain back into her bag.
Old Master Lu quickly said, “Hey! Don’t worry, I’m pretty sure that’s Ah Li!”
How could he not recognize his own granddaughter-in-law?
Besides, as an experienced collector of Ah Li’s surroundings, he could tell at a glance that it was Ah Li.
“Yunyi, let me see it.”
As he spoke, he reached out his hand.
At this point, there was no other way.
Fang Yunyi took a deep breath and handed the keychain over.
Old Master Lu held it in his hand and examined it carefully. He laughed and said, “You see! I knew it! This is Ah Li! Eh, but even I haven’t seen this one before! Yunyi, where did you get this?”
He was definitely the one who had collected the most merchandize of Ah Li in the super chat. He had collected almost everything that had appeared before.
However, this was the first time he had seen this particular item.
Fang Yunyi did not speak.
The more Old Master Lu looked at it, the more he liked it. He could no help but sigh, “And yours just looks so good! Look at this crown! This dress! This hair! And this little kid…”
He suddenly stopped speaking.
A new round of deathly silence fell upon the room, and it was even worse than before.
Then, Old Master Lu slowly and stiffly turned to look at Fang Yunyi. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, “Are you… Sister Carp?”
Fang Yunyi’s breath seemed to stop for a few seconds.
But in the end, she still decided to save herself.
“Dad,” he said.
She pushed her hair behind her ear and smiled elegantly.
“Weren’t you always curious about the surprise in the first prize box? Here, it’s in your hands! You think it’s very good as well, don’t you?”
Everyone was stunned.
Shen Li quietly put the chess piece back into the chess jar.
She really could not continue this game anymore…
Old Master Lu had not expected her to admit it so easily. Also, he had not expected that the Sister Carp who could call the wind and summon the rain in Shen Li’s name was actually Fang Yunyi.
The impact of this discovery was too great for him. So much so, that he could not recover from the shock, even after some time.
If it had been anyone else, they probably would not know how to continue in such a situation.
However, Fang Yunyi was still Fang Yunyi.
It only took her a few seconds to adjust her state of mind quickly.
After she answered Old Master Lu’s question, she looked at Shen Li first.
“Ah Li.”
She coughed lightly and said in a gentle tone, “Please don’t misunderstand. Mom is definitely not trying to push you into having a baby yet! I just think that this princess dress suits you very well!”
Shen Li’s gaze silently swept across the two little princesses who were holding hands.
These words did not seem to be very convincing.
Fang Yunyi seemed to have realized this as well. She quickly walked in front of her and held her face.
“Our Ah Li is still so young. There’s no hurry, really!”
Fang Yunyi felt like crying.
Thousands of wise men had been destroyed in one fell swoop!
How much effort had she put in to protect her character?
She had kept a set of all the special items that she had used for the lottery draws.
Worried that she would be found out, she had even arranged for someone to clear out a house to store those things and had never brought those things here. She had been especially careful.
But this time, she really had not been able to hold back.
Wasn’t Ah Li already married today?
–It was done!
She had not been able to stop herself from thinking of Ah Li and a mini… a mini Ah Li!
Hence, this figurine had been created.
After she had gotten it, she had liked it so much that she could not bear to remove it immediately. Who knew that she would be discovered so soon?
Shen Li could only nod her head when she saw the expression on her face.
Yes, she believed it. She really did believe it.
Only then did Fang Yunyi relax a little. She was worried that she would overthink things, so she added in a serious tone, “Ah Li, don’t worry. In our family, boys and girls will be considered the same! They’re all little babies, after all!”
It had not been easy to bring this daughter into the house, so how could she give her any pressure?
Lu Yang’s heart skipped a beat.
He had never heard such words from her mouth in his life. Today, he had truly learned something new.
Shen Li could only nod again.
“Yunyi.”
Old Master Lu looked over and said faintly, “So, it was because of you that I always won…”
Fang Yunyi said seriously, “Absolutely not! Dad, my lucky draws were all very fair! You always reposted a lot each time, so naturally, your chances of winning were high. As for the top three prizes in the comments section, you won them every time because you praised Ah Li so well-”
“Ahem!”
Old Master Lu forcefully coughed.
“That… that… there’s no need to go into detail. I’m just quite… quite surprised…”
At first, Old Master Lu had wanted to ask her why she had been so secretive about this matter. Every time he had mentioned Weibo, she would say that she did not understand it.
However, after thinking about the situation on Weibo, Old Master Lu felt that it was better not to ask.
After all, he and Fang Yunyi were the same.
Thinking of this, he quickly changed the topic.
“T-then, could you give that keychain to me?”
Fang Yunyi’s heart ached.
However, she could not refuse.
She took a deep breath and forced a smile.
“… Okay.”
She would make another order as soon as she got back!
“I didn’t expect you to be so interested in this.”
Lu Huaiyu suddenly said, “Since that’s the case, I wonder if you have any more to give me as well?”
Fang Yunyi turned around in shock.
When did this kid…
Lu Huaiyu met her gaze and smiled.
“Oh, by the way, I should be a part of this figurine, shouldn’t I? Don’t forget it when you bring it over.”
Fang Yunyi was flabbergasted.
Where was he?!
Wasn’t he just making things difficult for her?
However, she could not say this out loud.
Fang Yunyi’s smile became even more forced.
“Of course there’s you. I’ll give you a whole set later.”
Lu Huaiyu’s thin lips curled up slightly.
“Thank you, Mom.”
Fang Yunyi slowly let out a breath. Surely, this matter had finally been settled now…
“Yun Yun.”
Lu Zheng suddenly called out to her.
“I suddenly remembered that I forgot to tell you something. Please come here.”
Fang Yunyi was taken aback. After everything that had just happened, she wanted to quickly make an exit as well, so she hurriedly agreed.
“I’m coming.”
The two of them went behind the screen again.
Fang Yunyi looked back. Although she could not see anything beyond the screen, she felt much better now that she could avoid the gazes of the others.
“Hu-”
She gently stroked her chest.
She had finally gotten away with it!
She then turned to Lu Zheng.
“Lu Zheng, what did you want to talk to me about?”
Lu Zheng looked at her and raised his eyebrows.
“Nothing. You just said that it’s the same whether it’s a boy or a girl?”
Fang Yunyi’s heart skipped a beat and she looked away guiltily.
Lu Yang said, “Then, how about we settle the score on those scoldings that you aimed at me a few years ago?”
Fang Yunyi knew that she was in the wrong, so she quickly explained, “I… I did that so as not to put pressure on Ah Li! Besides… Lu Zheng, do you dare to say that you don’t want to have a granddaughter?
“I’d rather it be as soon as possible.”
Lu Zheng turned around and snorted, “That will depend on whether your son is willing or not.”
