Chapter 1860: Chapter 1858: Bringing Hu Xiaoqi to Meet the Family

[The new book ”Nine Revolutions Barbarian Divine Art” has been released, seeking various support. Also, don’t worry about the old book, it will continue to be written until it concludes normally. I’m a person who sees things through from start to finish!]

Hu Xiaoqi’s self-esteem is very strong. Although Ye Tianchen had noticed this, he didn’t expect it to be this strong!

Of course, Ye Tianchen also understood Hu Xiaoqi’s strong self-esteem. After all, she was born orphaned and blind, which made her different from others from childhood. She must have endured a lot of hardships and pain, making her subconsciously want to shut herself off and protect herself, which is understandable!

However, Ye Tianchen didn’t want Hu Xiaoqi to continue this way, because it would only make her self-esteem stronger and her self-defense awareness more intense. Eventually, she might become someone who trusts no one but herself, always living in unhappiness, and that’s not what Ye Tianchen wanted to see.

For Ye Tianchen, of course, he wanted to cure Hu Xiaoqi’s eyes, but he wasn’t absolutely confident. Although he had thought of some methods, these methods had to wait until he returned to the Ancient Martial World to see if they could be implemented. In short, whether Hu Xiaoqi’s eyes could be cured, Ye Tianchen didn’t dare to make an absolute guarantee!

It is because of this that Ye Tianchen wanted to change Hu Xiaoqi’s inferiority complex and overly defensive mentality. For someone who can never see the world outside, it is a cruel thing. To make it less cruel, she must open her mind and not be so stubborn. This is where Ye Tianchen wanted to change Hu Xiaoqi!

Hu Xiaoqi, being a little girl, felt very nervous upon hearing she was going to meet Ye Tianchen’s parents and family. She initially wanted to find an excuse not to go, but who knew Ye Tianchen would insist so firmly that she must go. In such a situation, Hu Xiaoqi could only find a way to make herself look better, so as not to leave a bad impression on Ye Tianchen’s family.

”I say, boss, aren’t you being too harsh? I’m just a kid, is it necessary to be like this to me?” Little Black Bear was grabbed by the shoulder by Ye Tianchen, grimacing and asking.

”Are you really a child? You’ve always transformed into a kid’s appearance, do you really think you’re a child? Life in the Mortal World has been too leisurely, right?” Ye Tianchen asked irritably.

”What can I do? You don’t go to the Ancient Martial World, and you don’t let me out for training. Where else can I go if I don’t stay here?” Little Black Bear asked, dissatisfied.

”Oh, I didn’t hold you back! Didn’t you run away from home? Why did you come back within a day? You can still run away from home, I won’t mind!” Ye Tianchen said, fixing his eyes on Little Black Bear.

”You... you... are too cruel! You can sympathize with others, but do you need to be so serious with me, a three-year-old child?” Little Black Bear said, extremely frustrated.

Ye Tianchen glanced at Little Black Bear, then said, stunned: ”You kid, remember this—if you don’t contribute to my wedding with Liu Rumei this time, you’ll be locked in the Holy Heaven Prison again!”

”No way, I’m just a kid...” Little Black Bear purposely put on a mournful face and said.

Ye Tianchen didn’t care much about it. This Little Black Bear is a bear cub that’s been cultivating for hundreds of years; in the world of Demon Beasts, it’s still considered juvenile. However, it’s older than most ordinary people. If you really treat it as a three-year-old brat, then you’d be a fool!

Ye Tianchen let go of Little Black Bear’s shoulder, and it ran away in a flash, afraid that Ye Tianchen would catch it again. Ye Tianchen didn’t worry, knowing that this little guy would definitely head to the dining room, and he wasn’t concerned that in the Mortal World, how could ordinary people deal with a Black Bear Spirit? It would be good if the little guy didn’t go around bullying people!

”Brother Ye, do you think this outfit looks good on me?” Hu Xiaoqi came out and asked Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen glanced at Hu Xiaoqi, who was wearing a floral dress that matched her temperament, and couldn’t help but say with a smile: ”Really beautiful, stepping out like that, how many guys would ask for your number!”

”Brother Ye is teasing me again!” Hu Xiaoqi said shyly.

”Come on, don’t let them wait too long!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

With Hu Xiaoqi, Ye Tianchen didn’t particularly guide her path, considering her feelings. She was a girl with strong self-esteem who didn’t want to feel useless or different from ordinary people. Ye Tianchen cleverly let Hu Xiaoqi hold his arm, and with that, as they walked, she wouldn’t feel like she couldn’t see or useless!

When Ye Tianchen led Hu Xiaoqi to the dining room door, two guards at the door quickly opened the dining room door, politely saying: ”Please come in!”

”Brother Ye, your house feels so big, like a grand mansion, and very classy!” Hu Xiaoqi said curiously.

”Haha, it’s nothing, just that Dad and Mom made some money, so the quality of life is a bit better, but everything else is the same as ordinary people!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

When Ye Tianchen entered the Ye family’s dining room with Hu Xiaoqi, he saw that Ye Hong, Luo Yan, Ye Qianwen, Liu Rumei, Liu Fei, and of course the mischievous Little Black Bear, were all already seated at the table, just waiting for Ye Tianchen and Hu Xiaoqi to arrive!

As Ye Tianchen walked in with Hu Xiaoqi, everyone present was taken aback. Although they had heard talkative Liu Fei mention Hu Xiaoqi before, they didn’t expect Hu Xiaoqi to be such a pure and adorable girl. After all, this was truly their first meeting, and they were somewhat unprepared!

”Ah, you’re here!” Luo Yan responded quickly and said.

”Dad, Mom, this is Xiao Qi that I told you about!” Ye Tianchen said, signaling with his eyes.

”Haha, so it’s Xiao Qi, she really is a well-behaved child, come sit down!” Ye Hong responded quickly and said with a smile.

At this moment, Liu Rumei stood up, walked over to Hu Xiaoqi, held her hand, and said, ”Xiao Qi, I’m Liu Rumei, why don’t you sit next to me?”

”You’re Sister Rumei? I’ve heard Brother Ye mention you, saying you’re very beautiful!” Hu Xiaoqi said sensibly with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Liu Rumei glared at Ye Tianchen fiercely. However, she was undoubtedly happy, as Ye Tianchen, who had low emotional intelligence, even zero, rarely said such things. Liu Rumei loved Ye Tianchen dearly, of course, she hoped to hear compliments from him!

”Haha, you’re very pretty too, come sit down!” Liu Rumei said with a smile.

Ye Tianchen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed his family was quite perceptive. He initially worried that bringing Hu Xiaoqi here might cause some awkwardness, mainly fearing that others’ words and actions might make Hu Xiaoqi uncomfortable or even hurt her. It seems there’s no need to worry about that now; surely Hu Xiaoqi will soon integrate into the family life!

”Brother-in-law, you should thank me, you know!” Liu Fei said, intentionally hinting something.

”You rarely ever do something reliable. Didn’t you notice I had Qianwen sit beside you? Consider that your reward!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”Huh? No way, I don’t think that’s your arrangement!” Liu Fei said, feeling frustrated.

”Is that so? Qianwen, sit here. I’ll sit next to Liu Fei; this kid doesn’t seem to want to sit with you!” Ye Tianchen joked intentionally.

”Ah, no, no, thank you, brother-in-law, thank you!” Liu Fei quickly said with a smile.

”That’s more like it. You kid need to be smarter, otherwise chasing after my sister will be tough!” Ye Tianchen advised jokingly.

”Brother, you’re treating your sister like a bargaining chip; hmph, I won’t bother with you!” Ye Qianwen pretended to be very angry.

”Hey, sister, when men and women reach a certain age, it’s only right for them to get married. I think after I get married, you should do the same so that Mom and Dad can be more relaxed. Look at how considerate I am!” Ye Tianchen laughed mischievously.

”Hey, brother, you can’t do this, can you? Now you’re speaking without conscience, attacking your sister. That’s not fair. I used to say a lot of good things about you and backed you up!” Ye Qianwen felt a bit wronged and retorted.

”Haha, times change, think about it yourself. I won’t force you; someone else’s problem, let’s eat!” Ye Tianchen said playfully.

Throughout the meal, everyone in the Ye family showed care for Hu Xiaoqi, naturally not a special or extraordinary concern. They all knew that for a self-reliant and strong girl with vision impairment, it was important to be mindful of her feelings, treating her like an important guest. That’s enough care!

What impressed Ye Tianchen the most was Liu Rumei’s big heart; she didn’t ask a single question about Hu Xiaoqi, just chatted with her about women’s topics, occasionally serving her food like sisters. It’s undeniable that Liu Rumei is a good woman, very beautiful and kindhearted, always considerate of others. It even made Ye Tianchen feel that his decision to marry Liu Rumei was indeed a big and right choice! (To be continued.
