Everyone sat together, drinking and chatting. Especially with Luan Luan, the joker, everyone was very happy.
After learning that Luan Luan was Xiao Chen's adopted daughter, Qin Shuirou and the other two women, as well as Bai Ruyue, were very fond of her, especially Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing, who was usually very quiet, was very fond of Luan Luan. He kept holding Luan Luan and teasing the little girl.
No one would dislike such a cute little girl like Luan Luan. Luan Luan was also very smart. She already knew that Qin Shuirou and the other three women, as well as Bai Ruyue and Xiao Qing, were her father's relatives. As a result, Luan Luan was very close to everyone.
In Luan Luan's world, everything was very simple. Luan Luan would also like whatever her father liked. Her father's relatives were all Luan Luan's relatives.
As soon as the banquet started, Luan Luan already knew how to greet people. "Grandfather, Grandmother, First Mother, Second Mother, Third Mother, Fourth Mother."
She addressed Xiao Qing as Grandfather, Bai Ruyue as Grandmother, Qin Shuirou as First Mother, Hundred Flower Fairy as Second Mother, Gu Lingyao as Third Mother, and Tianyue as Fourth Mother. Hearing Luan Luan's childish voice, Xiao Qing laughed loudly. He picked Luan Luan up and said with a smile, "Luan Luan, be good. Come, Grandfather will hug you."
Xiao Qing and Bai Ruyue could no longer help Xiao Chen. The two elders had always dreamed that Xiao Chen could have children. Now that Luan Luan had appeared, the two elders' wish had been fulfilled.
Although Luan Luan wasn't Xiao Chen's biological daughter, so what? Xiao Qing and Bai Ruyue didn't care about this. Besides, everyone was a cultivator and had a long lifespan. In the future, Xiao Chen would definitely not only have Luan Luan as a daughter, but also many children.
What's more, Luan Luan was so cute. Facing this little girl, no one would dislike her.
For a moment, Luan Luan had undoubtedly become the apple of the Xiao family's eye. Even Bai Ru Yue had completely forgotten about the joy she had with her son. She wholeheartedly threw herself onto Luan Luan. There wasn't anything good to eat, yet the first thing Bai Ru Yue thought of was Luan Luan.
When he saw how much the two elders loved Luan Luan, Xiao Chen had a faint smile on his face. However, Xiao Chen soon noticed Hongxiu, who was not far away, and he sighed helplessly.
Everyone present was very happy today. Only Hongxiu seemed to be a little quiet. From the moment she saw Qin Shuirou and the other three women, Hongxiu seemed to have not said much. She did not drink much either. She lowered her head and no one knew what she was thinking.
In fact, Hongxiu had been secretly observing Qin Shuirou and the other three women. However, after a careful observation, Hongxiu felt a little inferior. Other than her cultivation being stronger than Qin Shuirou and the other three women, she didn't seem to have any advantages in other aspects.
The appearance that she was once proud of did not have any advantage in front of Qin Shuirou and the other three women. At most, they were on par. On the other hand, Qin Shuirou and the other three women each had their own merits and beauty. Looking at the four women accompanying Xiao Chen, it would be a lie to say that Hongxiu didn't feel sad.
She was a little jealous. Xiao Chen didn't know what to do for a moment. However, Hundred Flower Fairy, who was sitting beside Xiao Chen, noticed this and whispered into Xiao Chen's ear.
"What, did our Young Master Xiao find another sister for us?"
Among the four women, the one who was the most attentive was naturally Hundred Flower Fairy. Qin Shuirou was indifferent by nature. Other than Xiao Chen and his family, he basically didn't care about anything else. Gu Lingyao, on the other hand, had a childish temperament. She was currently playing happily with Luan Luan. As for Tian Yue, as a member of the Divine Clan, Tian Yue's personality was very arrogant. She basically ignored people she didn't know well.
As a result, due to their personalities, the three women naturally wouldn't take the initiative to talk to Hongxiu, let alone pay attention to her. Of course, even if they noticed Hongxiu's abnormality, with their personalities, they definitely wouldn't care. Only Hundred Flower Fairy was attentive enough to notice this.
In fact, Hundred Flower Fairy had always been in charge of everything in the Xiao Family. This wasn't to say that Hundred Flower Fairy wanted to seize power or something. It was entirely because among the women by Xiao Chen's side, only Hundred Flower Fairy could take care of everything and arrange the family in an orderly manner.
Therefore, even though Hundred Flower Fairy wasn't the first woman to follow Xiao Chen, in the Xiao Family, Hundred Flower Fairy did indeed have the authority of a matron. Qin Shuirou didn't care about this at all. After all, no matter who was in charge, Xiao Chen wouldn't be biased. His love for the four women was the same.
At the same time, the four women were wholeheartedly focused on Xiao Chen and the Xiao Family. Therefore, it didn't matter who was in charge. Moreover, if Qin Shuirou and the other two women were really in charge of the family, they probably wouldn't be willing to do it themselves. It would be so tiring.
Hearing Hundred Flower Fairy's words, Xiao Chen smiled embarrassedly. Seeing this, Hundred Flower Fairy pouted coquettishly and secretly pinched Xiao Chen's waist. Then, she said with some dissatisfaction.
"I really don't know how many sisters our Young Master Xiao is going to find for our Xiao Family. Hmph."
Hundred Flower Fairy's words were indeed laced with a hint of jealousy. Not far away, Hongxiu who was watching this scene, although she didn't hear what the two were talking about, she could still keenly feel the dissatisfaction in Hundred Flower Fairy's eyes. For a moment, Hongxiu felt as if something was blocking her mouth, and she couldn't help but tear up.
Feeling wronged, Hongxiu couldn't care less about anything else. She got up and ran out of the courtyard.
Seeing Hongxiu run away with her head lowered, Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with a trace of disappointment. How could Xiao Chen not know that Hongxiu was good to him? But now …
Seeing Xiao Chen's expression of wanting to chase after Hongxiu but not daring to, Hundred Flower Fairy suddenly burst into laughter. "Alright, Young Master Xiao, you don't have to show such an expression. We already expected this."
Saying so, Hundred Flower Fairy gently pulled Qin Shuirou's sleeve. The two women looked at each other and got up to find Hongxiu.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen secretly let out a sigh of relief. "You two …"
"Hmph." Originally, Xiao Chen wanted to comfort the two women, but they didn't give Xiao Chen a chance to speak. Hundred Flower Fairy and Qin Shuirou snorted at the same time and walked away.
Towards Hongxiu's appearance, Qin Shuirou and Hundred Flower Fairy were naturally jealous, but what could they do? Xiao Chen was becoming more and more outstanding, and from the looks of it, Xiao Chen and Hongxiu did indeed have feelings for each other. After all, these years when the four women weren't by Xiao Chen's side, Hongxiu and him might have gone through a lot together.
Unaware that Qin Shuirou and Hundred Flower Fairy had returned to find her, Hongxiu ran all the way out of the courtyard and arrived at a small lake not far away. She cursed softly while throwing stones into the lake.
"Stinky Xiao Chen, damn Xiao Chen, I hate you to death …"
