Chapter 1356 Do You Even Want Your Face Anymore
As soon as Lin Xiang finished speaking, the three who were eating tea lifted their heads and stared icily at Second Aunt Leng, Lin Xiang: this person actually wanted to be their master? Then they looked back at their master: would their master give them away?
Qing Wen was in the middle of stopping Lin Shasha from packing up the Da Hong Pao Tea; when he heard Second Aunt asking for Da Bai and Da Hei, he got even angrier.
Da Bai and Da Hei had guarded Qing Wen all night. When Qing Wen’s adoptive mother wanted to punish him, they even knocked Zhao Liuping over for Qing Wen’s sake. Qing Wen had long since treated these two dogs who defended him as his friends.
So the moment he saw Second Aunt trying to snatch Da Bai and Da Hei, he threw down the Da Hong Pao Tea, rushed over, and grabbed one in each arm, shouting, "No, no way, Da Bai and Da Hei belong to my family, nobody’s getting them!"
He didn’t even notice that Lin Shasha took the chance to stuff that packet of Da Hong Pao Tea he’d left on the coffee table into her own bag.
Mengyu found it a bit funny. This kid, guarding one end and not the other. However, Lin Shasha wanting to walk off with her space tea? That was never going to happen.
Uncle Leng heard his younger brother’s wife actually open her mouth like that and felt secretly anxious. Now that she’d said it, what was Mengyu supposed to do?
If she didn’t give it, well, that was her aunt, an elder, and she’d already spoken up. It was only a dog she was asking for; refusing would seem a bit like not giving an elder face.
If she did give it, that dog was so pretty, such a great coat, obviously well cared for. How could you give away something a girl loved so much?
Besides, looking at the kid’s reaction, he clearly loved the two dogs as well. If they really let the second sister-in-law take them away, how sad would that child be?
Uncle Leng gave a sharp "hey": "Sister-in-law, that dog is clearly Mengyu’s beloved treasure. A gentleman doesn’t snatch what others love. How can you ask a child for it?"
Second Aunt also knew her request was a bit much, so she said, "Fine then, I’ll take a step back and just ask for one. I’ll just take—"
She wanted to say the white one, but then thought the black one looked even more spirited. She wanted to say the black one, but then felt the white one was prettier. For a moment she actually couldn’t decide whether she wanted the white one or the black one.
When Uncle Leng heard she only wanted one, he glanced at the two dogs and felt that no matter which one she took, the pair would be ruined. So he said, "They’re a perfectly good pair. How can you split them up? If you like dogs, go buy one at the market yourself."
Qing Wen heard Uncle Leng telling Second Aunt to go buy one at the market and immediately rolled his eyes: "You can’t buy my Da Bai and Da Hei anywhere!"
Hmph, Da Bai and Da Hei were Master’s spiritual pets. Did she really think Da Hei and Da Bai were like cabbages, sold everywhere?
Uncle Leng couldn’t help a head full of black lines. I’m helping you here, kid, and you tell her you can’t buy them at the market—aren’t you just making her keep trying to grab them from you?
Second Aunt understood in her heart too; how could dogs like these possibly be found in a market? Which was exactly why she really wanted them.
But seeing how Qing Wen was guarding them with his life, she knew it would be hard to take the two dogs away.
So her eyes rolled, and she looked at that White Bird: "If you can’t give me the dogs, then this White Bird should at least be okay, right? Mengyu, you’re not going to say you can’t even bear to give your Second Aunt a bird, are you?"
Uncle Leng wanted to speak up, but he’d just stopped Second Aunt from taking the dogs. Now she’d gone from wanting two, to one, and was taking another step back—no dogs, just a bird. He really didn’t have much ground to shut her down again.
Mengyu let out two dry chuckles. So Second Aunt had been aiming for this bird from the very beginning, huh? Starting by asking for the two dogs, then backing down to one, and after Qing Wen clung to them and refused, backing down again to asking for the bird—this was all to block Uncle Leng from saying no.
This woman was really quite scheming!
