Chapter 199: Your Cousin-in-law Has To Agree
Gu Nianshen’s grandmother looked at Song Feifei sternly before turning to face Gu Nianshen with a smile. “Nianshen, why don’t you help Feifei out. She’s your cousin after all.”
Indeed, she was an experienced old woman who knew how to appease both parties. On one hand, she was forcing Song Feifei to succumb to her dominance, ensuring that she did not worsen the misunderstanding. On the other hand, she was coercing Gu Nianshen to help Song Feifei out so that she would feel better.
However, it was only a musical reality show. As long as Gu Nianshen’s grandmother asked, he would most probably agree anyway. Otherwise, he would not have brought Lin Yiqian over today.
Once he agreed, Song Feifei’s anger toward Gu Nianshen would definitely dissipate.
That would mean a happy ending for everyone.
As Lin Yiqian sat next to Gu Nianshen, she quietly observed Grandmother Song as she tried to decipher her mood.
“If he considered me his cousin, he would not have embarrassed me in public like that.” Song Feifei began to whine since Grandmother Song had expressed her support.
With her head lowered, Song Feifei seemed pitiful indeed.
However, she was secretly glaring at Lin Yiqian with hostility.
Lin Yiqian smiled as she noticed the glare.
She then placed her hand above Gu Nianshen’s as both her hands now surrounded his.
“Gu Nianshen, I think Feifei has a really good voice. She seems rather talented. Why don’t you help her out?” Lin Yiqian asked, gently.
As she finished her sentence, Lin Yiqian turned to face Song Feifei with a pleasant smile on her face.
However, Song Feifei would not accept her kindness. “I’m asking for help from my cousin brother. Why do I need your help to convince him?”
The more intimate Lin Yiqian seemed to be with Gu Nianshen, the more annoyed Song Feifei became.
In her opinion, Gu Nianshen belonged to Xiaxia who treated her in the best way possible.
Lin Yiqian was the hateful woman who took him away from Xiaxia.
When Song Feifei raised her voice against Lin Yiqian, Gu Nianshen’s facial expression immediately changed. “I can only help you if your cousin-in-law agrees.”
As Gu Nianshen drew his hand away from Lin Yiqian’s, he wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
He made it clear how he felt about the matter.
Although Lin Yiqian was slightly embarrassed by how she was addressed as ‘cousin-in-law’, she thought it was a sweet gesture.
All of a sudden, she had the urge to ask Song Feifei to call her by her rightful title as cousin-in-law. Even if Gu Nianshen refused to help her, Lin Yiqian would help her.
“Brother Shen…” Song Feifei stomped her feet. “Have you forgotten about Sister Xiaxia?”
The more protective Gu Nianshen was toward Lin Yiqian, the more sad Song Feifei felt for Xi Xia, which translated into her anger toward Lin Yiqian.
As soon as Xi Xia was mentioned, there was an odd shift in mood.
Everyone looked at Gu Nianshen simultaneously, including Lin Yiqian.
Had he forgotten about Xi Xia?
Was it possible for him to forget her?
Gu Nianshen cared about Lin Yiqian so much that he carefully rubbed her stomach when she was in pain. He had even agreed to wear matching couple outfits and brought Lin Yiqian to meet his grandmother.
Without her even realizing, Lin Yiqian had forgotten all about Xi Xia as she indulged in his love and affection.
“Feifei, I could hear your voice from miles away.” A warm-sounding voice could be heard from the door.
Lin Yiqian shifted her gaze to the door as she heard the familiar voice.
Song Changlin came into view. Dressed in a white-striped shirt and dark blue tuxedo pants, he seemed as proper as always.
Gu Nianshen did not bother concealing his hostility when he saw Song Changlin.
His hand tightened around Lin Yiqian’s.
“It has nothing to do with you. Who do you think you are? Stop meddling with our family’s affairs,” Song Feifei snapped at Song Changlin.
Everyone in the house was shocked by her loud voice.
Song Changlin stood frozen in shock. However, he still appeared calm and collected.
