Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts

Chatting and eating, lunch took more than an hour.

By the time everyone had cleaned up together, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

After sitting down and resting for a while, Lin Qiaoshan checked his watch and said, "It's about time, let's rest a bit more and then head to the school."

"I think that's a good idea, and we'll also have time to check out the kids' place to see if there's any cleaning that needs to be done," Wen Wanqing chimed in following her husband.

"What about Mom and Little White? Little White hasn't finished his meal yet!"

At this moment, there were still heaps of crispy bones and broken meat left in Little White's bowl; today was also New Year's Day.

"Dear daughter, we can pack it up for Little White," Lin Qiaoshan stood up and glanced at the balcony, where the dog, having eaten his fill, was staring blankly at the meat in his bowl.

"Pack up what? It's not like we don't have dog food at home, and it'll just dirty the car," Wen Wanqing gave her husband a disapproving look, then turned to Lin Wanning with a smile and said, "Little White's already full. Wanning, why don't you and your Brother Qingfan take him for a walk downstairs first?"

"Yes, sure!"

"Brother Qingfan is going for a walk!"

Upon hearing she was going on a walk with Xu Qingfan, Lin Wanning's face instantly lit up with delight.

Xu Qingfan shared a smile with Aunt Wen, as they were all about to leave together, so there was no point in taking a walk.

"I'll go upstairs and find socks first," he said.

By the time he came back down with his socks on, the five girls had already put on their shoes, and Little White was being held by Zhang Yiyi, as everyone stood at the door waiting for him.

"We'll head downstairs first; Mom, message us on WeChat when you come down," Xu Qingfan said as he put on his shoes, quickly following the five girls into the elevator.

Inside the elevator.

Without the adults around, Lin Wanning became bolder in speaking.

"Brother Qingfan, are you going to marry five wives?" she asked, looking up at Xu Qingfan with keen concern.

The four girls also turned their gazes his way, curious to hear how this smelly man would wriggle out of this one.

Ever since Wen Wanqing said, "Wanning, Mom supports whoever you want to marry," the other parents had also expressed their positions.

Lin Jing said, "As long as the child really likes him, I support it, too."

Yao Jinping said, "The girls are sensible and filial, and if my rotten boy could marry any one of them in the future, I would wake up laughing in the middle of the night."

Li Mei Juan, although unsure of how the topic suddenly shifted to marriage, also said, "Of course it's most important that my daughter likes him, but his character must also be good, healthy, filial to parents, and preferably like Xiao Fan!"

"Exactly, exactly!"

"If he could be like Xiao Fan, that would be the best!"

The mothers nodded and agreed in unison.

Seeing this, Zhang Chunxue finally summed up by saying, "I see everyone likes Xiao Fan and wants him to be our son. How about this? Let's marry our daughters to Xiao Fan, then he will be all our son."

Everyone: …

Zhang Chunxue: Giggling, "Come on, say something. Why are you all silent?"

After a brief silence, the mothers gradually began to endorse Zhang Chunxue's suggestion.

They thought Zhang Chunxue was joking and didn't want her to feel awkward, so they started joking, too.

"Xiao Fan just said he wanted to marry five wives, one, two, three, four, five, we have five people here just right!"

"Then Xiao Fan really needs to keep himself in shape."

"Then, since my daughter knew Xiao Fan first, she should be the main wife, right?"

"How could that be, it should be whoever gives birth first gets to be the chief wife!"

"I agree with that."

"Hehehe..."

Xu Qingfan: "Aunties, you really understand me too well!"

The five girls: I have something to say.

Lin Qiaoshan: Am I crazy, or is this world crazy?

...

Back to the present.

"Well, that was just a joking remark by the aunties; Wanning, why are you taking it seriously?" Xu Qingfan covered Lin Wanning's mouth with his hand, urging her to not let the cat out of the bag.

"Is that so?"

"Then why did you still say you dare to marry five wives?"

Xiao Ruanwen had already quietly kicked him a few times during the meal, not about to let Brother Chou Fan off easily now.

"One, two, three, four, five, there are exactly five people here."

"Brother, are you thinking of marrying all five of us?"

Zhang Yiyi, pointing to herself last, asked.

"Xu Qingfan, what do you mean?" Xia Xiaoxiao asked, her gaze hardening on him.

Only Wu Lingyu knew that was exactly what Brother Fan meant, so she didn't say anything.

"Woof woof woof!" Little White, not understanding what everyone was saying, just felt it was lively and barked twice to join in the fun.

"Well, I already said it was a joke, for fun. Now I'll say this—I want to marry six wives and include Little White too," he quipped.

Ever since being neutered, Xu Qingfan had nearly forgotten whether Little White was male or female until last week, when he saw Little White rolling on the ground and remembered Little White was female.

"Woof!" Seeing him pointing at her, Little White thought she was going to be petted and obediently got up, moving her head closer.

"Good dog, good dog," Xu Qingfan said, feigning innocence as he petted her head.

"Ah, Little White, slow down..." Just then, the elevator doors opened, and Little White dashed out, pulling Zhang Yiyi, who was holding the leash, along with her.

"I guess Little White doesn't want to be with you either," Xia Xiaoxiao gave him a cold look and left.

"Yeah, Brother, you can go by yourself!" Xiao Ruanwen grimaced and glared at him, then broke into a small run to catch up with Xia Xiaoxiao.

While Lin Wanning was still in his arms, Xu Qingfan's gaze shifted to Yu left in the elevator.

"Brother, the elevator doors are closing," Wu Lingyu smiled at him and pressed the door open button before she was the third to leave the elevator.
