Chapter 143: The Sister-in-Law from the Mortal Stories
“Hehe! Is that so?” Huang Qingfei said with a smile.
If he really saw his little aunt as a sister-in-law, Mingyan found that a black-bellied sister-in-law was quite a turn-on… Mingyan’s heart actually became a little excited.
“Yes… but thinking about it carefully, it doesn’t seem strange. Little Aunt, can you say it a few more times?” Mingyan took the initiative to ask.
Huang Qingfei’s beautiful eyes blinked gently, and then she smiled. “Are you addicted? Brother-in-law, brother-in-law… brother-in-law~”
Huang Qingfei satisfied his thoughts. This ‘brother-in-law’ call made Mingyan’s heart flutter, and he felt extremely comfortable. It would be great if he had such a younger sister. Although he could hear his little aunt call him brother-in-law, on the surface, she was still his little aunt, not his sister-in-law. Mingyan was a little disappointed.
A charming and cute, a little black-bellied sister-in-law… hmm, the more Mingyan thought, the more he felt a little regretful.
“What’s wrong? Your mood has suddenly become low? What did you think of?” seeing that Mingyan was quite happy at the beginning, but not long after, his mood had become a little low, Huang Qingfei couldn’t help but feel a little strange.
“…Nothing,” Mingyan came back to his senses, pursed his lips, and shook his head. He couldn’t very well say that because of her, he really wanted to have a sister-in-law who could call him brother-in-law anytime, anywhere, right?
Little Aunt is impossible…
If Feiyan knew that her very respected little aunt was calling her own husband ‘brother-in-law’ one after another, I wonder what she would think?
“You see, it’s because of this that we can’t get closer,” Huang Qingfei’s tone was gentle and calm, yet seemed to carry a hint of helplessness. These words made Mingyan stunned for a moment.
What do you mean? Does Little Aunt still want to get closer to me?
“You are always unwilling to say much in front of me…” Huang Qingfei continued, “We are a family, aren’t we? Second Sister and even Big Sister get along well with you. Only I feel that there is some distance between us.”
A clear breeze blew the hair in front of Huang Qingfei’s forehead. Mingyan looked at the faintly visible, as if with some emotion, eyes between the strands of hair and was stunned.
“So, to you, am I still an outsider?”
“Of course not… of course you are not an outsider, Little Aunt,” Mingyan shook his head.
Huang Qingfei sighed softly. “You saved me. I have always seen you as my life-saver. Your relationship with Feiyan and Nishang and Second Sister, in my opinion, is also family. But, I can’t feel that you see me as family. You are always polite and very respectful to me. You are probably treating me as a guest, right?”
Mingyan did indeed feel that he and Huang Qingfei were not close at all. Thinking about it carefully, the two of them were indeed quite polite. How could they be like a family…
“I don’t know… I didn’t know that’s what you thought, Little Aunt…” Mingyan lowered his head. Was it the same for her towards him? Plain and indifferent. Although there was gratitude, it was only that. It was also because of Huang Qingfei’s attitude towards him that Mingyan would have this attitude towards her…
“I’m not good at expressing myself… perhaps it’s also my fault,” Huang Qingfei’s hair danced. She smiled. “In the future, I also hope to be a little closer to Yan’er. After all, we are a family. To be as respectful as guests, what does that count for? Right? Brother-in-law?”
Brother-in-law…
And to be as respectful as guests… is this talking about husband and wife?
Although he had heard it several times just now, this time, the two words “brother-in-law” had a particularly special tone…
Mingyan looked at Huang Qingfei. Seeing that she was still smiling, but in her beautiful eyes, there was something that he couldn’t see through.
“That’s right. I was too rigid,” Mingyan nodded. To get a little closer, then so be it. Originally, his little aunt was the person Feiyan respected the most. As Feiyan’s husband, it was understandable for him to be respectful and close to his little aunt.
“That’s more like it,” Huang Qingfei smiled with satisfaction. “Do you like me calling you brother-in-law?”
To say he didn’t like it was a lie. But to say he liked it, did the relationship with his little aunt become strange?
Mingyan thought for a moment and still said, “…I like it.”
“Then if Feiyan is not present, I will call you brother-in-law. How about it?” Huang Qingfei’s smile was even richer.
Call me brother-in-law when Feiyan is not present? Is this to avoid stimulating her? Just as he had thought before, for one’s respected little aunt to call one’s own husband brother-in-law… anyone would be sulking, right?
So this is not your niece’s husband, but your sister’s husband, is that it?
“…As long as you are happy, Little Aunt…”
“Don’t always call me Little Aunt. I am still your sister-in-law… just call me… Qingfei,” Huang Qingfei corrected.
Alright, now the seniority was really all messed up…
“Qingfei…”
“Brother-in-law~”
“Qingfei?”
“Brotherinlaw”
Mingyan’s voice became more and more proper, and Huang Qingfei’s voice became sweeter and sweeter. This ‘brother-in-law’ call made Mingyan really intoxicated…
“…If I really… had such a little sister-in-law, that would be great…” Mingyan blurted out. But after he had said it, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
Huang Qingfei smiled. “Am I not? With your and my sister’s relationship, am I not your real sister-in-law?”
Yes… and no… at least, you and the sister-in-law I imagined are a little different…
But people all have two sides. Just as his little aunt looked very gentle and calm, yet had a scheming side, maybe she also had a charming and cute side?
“Or do you hope that I, like the sister-in-law in those mortal stories, will act spoiled towards you?” Huang Qingfei had been staring at Mingyan. Seeing his sad expression, she said with a smile.
“Mortal stories?” The key point Mingyan had noticed was not acting spoiled, but that so-called mortal story made him a little curious.
“Yes, that’s right. There is some sister-in-law literature in the mortal world~ the sisters-in-law in them are mostly lively and cute, and like to act spoiled towards their brother-in-law. But at a critical moment, they can also be a considerate little padded jacket-like existence,” Huang Qingfei had her hands behind her back and smiled sweetly. “Do you feel that I am not this kind of sister-in-law, and are a little regretful?”
Do you read minds? Mingyan was a little confused. How did this little aunt see through his thoughts at a glance…
“I don’t have this thought… Little Aunt, you’re overthinking it,” Mingyan shook his head.
“Is that so… ahem, I was going to say, if you have this thought, I can satisfy you~” Huang Qingfei smiled and turned around. “Then, brother-in-law~ Qingfei will leave first~ I’m sure Second Sister will be back soon, right?”
Mingyan looked at Huang Qingfei’s back and felt that he couldn’t guess her thoughts… and his own thoughts seemed to have been completely seen through by her…
