You need to raise your pet using a system [Era]

Chapter 296: Still Satisfied at Heart

Immediately, everyone in the room became uneasy, fidgeting and avoiding looking at Cheng Xia or answering her questions.

Only Lu Mingdong reached out, took Cheng Xia's hand with one hand and pulled her closer, pinched her cheek with the other, and said with a hint of helplessness, "Can't you tell that we're actually quite happy to see this marriage not happen?"

However, she simply didn't want Lu Mingnan to get hurt because of this relationship!

Why didn't Lu Yuanqing and the others take it so seriously?

The real reason is that his family doesn't really care about Lu Mingnan and Cheng Ruolan's relationship.

She agreed before because she didn't want Lu Mingnan to feel bad.

Although they also resent Cheng's parents' disdain, they haven't interfered, just to make the Cheng couple the villains.

Their concern was that Lu Mingnan might not be able to accept it in the end.

Naturally, there was no need for Lu Mingnan to know these thoughts.

People can speak more freely when they're not around.

Thanks to Lu Mingdong's reminder, Cheng Xia obviously understood as well.

She immediately looked a little embarrassed, which made Lu Mingdong stare at her.

Cheng Xia was shy and wanted to shake his hand off, but in the end she still pretended to be calm and asked Lu Yuanqing and the others, "Then, Third Uncle, what should we do?"

Lu Mingdong raised an eyebrow and replied, "We don't need to do anything. Since Cheng Ruolan's parents don't agree, they will deal with Cheng Ruolan first. It is said that Cheng Ruolan is a filial daughter, so she will be the one who is put in a difficult position. As for the outcome, we don't want to interfere. We just wait for the Cheng family's decision."

Lu Mingdong is absolutely right. It's clear that the people who are anxious right now are not the Lu family, but the Cheng family.

Anyway, they've already accepted the facts.

Even if they had some reservations about Cheng Ruolan's family, they would accept it if the two of them really got married, and they would also accept the good news if the Cheng family eventually separated them.

It's all the Cheng family's business anyway, why are they in such a hurry?

Everyone suddenly realized.

"That's right! Why are we in such a hurry? If the Cheng couple isn't satisfied with our Xiao Nan, they'll naturally be anxious about how to persuade Cheng Ruolan. Whether Cheng Ruolan listens to her parents and breaks up with Xiao Nan, or ignores her parents' objections and stays with Xiao Nan, it won't make any difference to us!"

Xie Qianyu: "So you're just going to ignore it completely? What about Xiao Nan?"

That is a serious issue.

Lu Yuanqing rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.

Lu Mingdong didn't feel there was anything difficult about it. "We have to accept it sooner or later. The sooner the pain starts, the sooner we can recover."

Everyone: "..."

Facing the disapproving looks from the rest of the family, Lu Mingdong said, "...What else can we do? If you don't want to support it and let things develop on their own, then Xiao Nan's feelings are to be expected. At worst, we'll just comfort him more."

Lu Mingdong had never experienced the pain of love too deeply.

During the time when Cheng Xia hesitated, he suffered a little.

But this little bit of suffering is limited to his wild thoughts about whether Cheng Xia will not consider him.

But Cheng Xia quickly figured it out and gave him the answer he hoped for, and then everything went smoothly.

Ever since Cheng Xia agreed to his request, she has spoiled him like a son.

Lu Mingdong was a little awkward and uncomfortable at first, but he got used to it after a few days and started to enjoy it.

Therefore, among all the men in the family, he has had the smoothest journey in love.

Lu Mingnan is probably the one who has had the hardest journey, even though his whole family supports him.

Lu Yuanqing sighed, “You’re right. It’s better to have a short pain than a long one. We’re just too concerned about him, which is why we’re so conflicted. But then again, everyone encounters one or two unpleasant exes in their life. According to Cheng’s father, they will try to bring Cheng Zhiqing back to the city. That way, Cheng Ruolan won’t be in the village anymore and won’t be able to see him. Xiao Nan should be able to come to her senses quickly.”

Lu Yuanbo/Xie Qianyu: "..."

Lu Mingdong/Cheng Xia: "..."

Neither of them had an ex.

and so……

“Brother, Baoxia has been married for so long and has two children, so please stop thinking about her,” Lu Yuanbo said earnestly.

The others nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes!"

Lu Yuanqing: "..."

"roll!"

Lu Yuanbo clicked his tongue. "Sister Baoxia and Wu Zhiqing have a good relationship. Even if she had feelings for you back then, so many years have passed, and she's long since let go of those feelings. You should try to be more open-minded too!"

Lu Yuanqing, unable to accept this, was speechless.

Insider Lu Mingdong: "..."

Lu Yuanqing: "Let's stop this topic."

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now and wait for Cheng Ruolan's update!"

Lu Yuanbo sighed.

Lu Yuanqing's hands were itching.

……

Educated youth settlement.

On the female host's side.

The moment Liu Ling heard the gong signaling the end of the workday, she quickly stopped working and hurried back to the educated youth settlement.

She was starving after working all morning.

If there's anything in this world that she cares about most, Liu Ling can confidently say that it's food.

Of all things under heaven, eating is the most important.

Anyone who has worked with her knows that this girl is one of the few educated youth who is efficient at her work.

Although I was clumsy at first because I didn't know how.

But as she became more and more skilled, her demeanor gave the impression of someone who was actually working, unlike the slow and clumsy manner of other educated youth.

But besides being hardworking and never slacking off, there's another funny thing about this girl: she's incredibly eager to finish work.

Others may not yet know the reason behind it.

But how could the educated youth living together in the same settlement not know?

This person goes home after work just to eat.

They lived together as a couple, so their meals were always cooked and served separately, which meant they didn't have to wait for anyone to eat.

They're all in their own lunchboxes, so they should just eat what's in their own lunchboxes.

The other female educated youth worked every day, and when they finished work, they used up all their strength and dragged their exhausted bodies back to the educated youth settlement. Liu Ling had already finished half of her meal.

Although there are one or two people with sharp tongues who often say behind her back that she is a reincarnated starving ghost.

But Liu Ling didn't care at all.

She has never gone hungry, and she doesn't want others to understand her situation.

Because of poverty, even if they fought with their siblings, they would still rush to grab food at mealtimes, crying, otherwise they would go hungry and have to wait for the next meal.

This was something she had long been used to.

Liu Ling ran home.

They didn't even have time to go to the main room, heading straight to the kitchen.

He grabbed his lunchbox, sat down by the door, and eagerly opened it to eat.

"Why did you let that brat go find that Lu Mingnan?"

Liu Ling blinked, and the voice sounded unfamiliar.

A thief broke in?

Wait, Lu Mingnan?

Liu Ling slowed down her eating and started listening intently.
