Chapter 409 - 410: Xiao Yingying’s Absurd Proposal
Miao Qingqing and the others felt like they were on display like giant pandas, making them somewhat uneasy. So Song Xiaodong decided to take them to the riverside to play once again, which finally gave them some peace and quiet.
Song Xiaoru did not go with Song Xiaodong and the rest, opting instead to stay behind and help out.
In their spare time, Second Uncle, Second Auntie, Third Uncle, and Third Aunt sat down with Song Xiaodong in the room and started chatting.
Third Aunt said with a look of regret, "Xiaoru, didn’t I tell you, since you and Dongzi are not biological siblings, you two should become a couple? Now, how come Dongzi has found himself a girlfriend?"
Song Xiaoru felt somewhat embarrassed and said, "Third Aunt, I think Qingqing and Dongzi are quite good together. As long as Dongzi is happy, that’s all that matters."
Third Uncle said, "That’s right, Qingqing is the CEO of a big corporation after all. Dongzi finding a girlfriend like her is indeed impressive."
Third Aunt gave Third Uncle a look and said, "What do you know? No matter what, Dongzi is not truly one of the Song family by blood. If he finds his own family one day, he will leave. By then, his relationship with Xiaoru, and even with us, will naturally become distant."
"This... that can’t be, Dongzi isn’t that kind of person," Second Uncle said hesitantly.
Third Aunt quickly interjected, "Dongzi is a person who values relationships deeply, but naturally, people have their close and distant relatives. We didn’t take good care of him before, and now that Dongzi has made something of himself, he’ll surely distance himself from us upon finding out that he isn’t our real family member. Therefore, only if Xiaoru stays with him will Dongzi always be a part of our Song family."
Song Xiaoru gave a wry smile and said, "Third Aunt, I know you mean well, but Dongzi and I have always been just siblings. In my heart, I still see him as a brother. It’s more natural this way for both of us. Besides, Dongzi has already found someone he likes. Seeing them together and happy makes me content."
