457: Chapter 457 [Everything For] 457: Chapter 457 [Everything For] “Who are you calling family?
And what did you call me?” Lu Yuanming was truly about to explode with anger.
Ye Chenfeng simply crossed his legs and said with an air of arrogance, “Old Lu, got a problem with that?”
“You…” Lu Yuanming jumped up, ready to blow his top.
However, Lu’s mother held him back, “Let it go, let it go, our daughter is here!
We can talk about everything later!”
Lu’s mother was a conservative person.
Even though she had a poor impression of Ye Chenfeng after finding out about his relationship with Lu Wanqing, she could still slowly accept it.
After all, according to Ye Chenfeng, he was going to be the father of Lu’s mother’s future grandson.
“You messed everything up, Ye Chenfeng.
Deal with it or you can forget about that maid costume!” Lu Wanqing pinched Ye Chenfeng hard from the side.
Ah, Ye Chenfeng sighed in his heart, all for the sake of a maid costume!
“Wanqing, come to the study with me!”
Lu Yuanming calmed his emotions and stood up to invite Lu Wanqing.
“Hmm!”
Lu Wanqing nodded her head and followed behind Lu Yuanming.
In the spacious living room, only Ye Chenfeng and Lu’s mother remained.
Of course, Lu’s mother’s gaze never left Ye Chenfeng for a second.
She always felt he looked familiar but couldn’t quite place him.
Ye Chenfeng didn’t avoid Yao Rui’s gaze; instead, he looked at her with interest.
Even though Yao Rui was older, her charm remained.
Her melon-seed face with its alluring fox-like features was truly captivating.
She also bore a six to seven parts resemblance to Lu Wanqing, which made Ye Chenfeng inwardly exclaim at the quality of Wanqing’s genes—handsome father, beautiful mother that it was ridiculous.
Their daughter turned out to be a beauty capable of toppling empires!
So when choosing a wife, one must pick a beauty, for the sake of future children too.
“Auntie, have you been having frequent headaches recently, and also developed quite a few small pimples on both sides of your cheeks?” After staring at each other for a while, Ye Chenfeng suddenly asked.
Lu’s mother was at first taken aback, but then her eyes filled with amazement and she asked incredulously, “How…
how did you know?”
Ye Chenfeng mysteriously smiled, “I also know that you’ve been having painful periods recently!”
“Gasp!”
At those words, Yao Rui was completely stunned, at a loss for words.
Soon, Yao Rui regained her composure, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, clearly hit by Ye Chenfeng’s accurate remarks.
“How did you know?” Yao Rui asked curiously.
Ye Chenfeng had described exactly what was bothering her.
“Auntie, it’s all visible from your complexion.
But these are all minor issues!” Ye Chenfeng said casually.
Understanding the implicit meaning in Ye Chenfeng’s words, Yao Rui couldn’t help but ask, “Are you saying you can fix these little problems?”
Everyone loves beauty, and Yao Rui was quite troubled by the small pimples on her face.
“Of course.
Auntie, this is due to a buildup of Yin in the liver, causing you to be easily agitated!
Probably from overexertion concerning Wanqing’s matters, I suppose?” Ye Chenfeng responded with a question.
Yao Rui immediately nodded in agreement, “Exactly, it’s from too much stress.
These symptoms only started recently!
I thought I was coming down with something serious.
Ye, can you cure it?” Without realizing it, Yao Rui had already changed her way of addressing Ye Chenfeng, now calling him ‘Ye’.
“Yes, I learned a few things about traditional Chinese medicine before.
These minor ailments can be cured with just a touch!
But it requires massage, which might be a little inconvenient…” Ye Chenfeng hesitated, a trace of uncertainty crossing his face.
“No problem, I’m your elder.
There’s nothing we need to avoid between us!” Yao Rui said, though her expression inevitably betrayed her discomfort.
Ye Chenfeng nodded, “Actually, a massage on the instep of the foot would do!”
“All right!”
Yao Rui then took off her shoes and socks, and Ye Chenfeng began to massage the depression in front of the first and second tarsal bone junction on the top of her foot with both hands.
Instantly, a warm current spread from Yao Rui’s instep all over her body, bringing an indescribable comfort that almost made Yao Rui moan out loud.
A few minutes later, Ye Chenfeng stopped.
Yao Rui obviously wanted more, as Ye Chenfeng was too skilled, even better than professional masseurs, with a perfect grasp of strength and technique.
“Auntie, try to feel it now!” Ye Chenfeng said with a smile.
Yao Rui did feel it, and indeed, the heavy and painful sensation in her head had disappeared.
This was too miraculous!
Yao Rui hadn’t expected that a few minutes of massage could have such a good effect, and she became excited all over.
“Auntie, next, you should eat some green oranges or lemons made into juice, and you’ll be better in a few days!
Also, try not to get angry, don’t stay up too late at night, and your skin will certainly get better and better!” Ye Chenfeng said.
Now, Yao Rui believed in Ye Chenfeng’s words one hundred percent and nodded vigorously: “Okay, I’ll listen to you, Xiaoye.”
…
When Lu Yuanming and Lu Wanqing came out of the study, they were stunned by the scene before them.
“Xiaoye, come and eat this!”
“Xiaoye, have a sip of water, don’t choke!”
…
Yao Rui was too affectionate towards Ye Chenfeng, bringing tea and pouring water with meticulous care—enthusiasm that Lu Wanqing dared say she had never received.
Wasn’t Yao Rui previously lukewarm or even a bit annoyed with Ye Chenfeng?
How come now she was treating him like her own son?
“Hey, you two standing there, what are you doing?
Xiaoye is here, you should be more enthusiastic, especially you, Lao Lu, with that long face as if someone owes you money,” Yao Rui turned her head and said after seeing Lu Wanqing and her companion.
“Pfft!”
Lu Yuanming felt like he was being shot even while lying down; not kicking Ye Chenfeng out was already the epitome of kindness, and now he was expected to be even more enthusiastic—was this some kind of joke?
Had Ye Chenfeng fed his mother some kind of bewitching potion?
Lu Wanqing was full of doubts, but this was a good thing; surely his mother wouldn’t bother her anymore.
“Lao Lu, why are you standing there?
Hurry up and come here, oh, and aren’t you good at chess?
Set up the board and have a game with Xiaoye.
Tonight, I’ll cook personally to treat Xiaoye, oh my, I just like this child more and more!” Yao Rui said, joy springing to her eyebrows and excitement she couldn’t suppress in her eyes.
Lu Yuanming was still stunned; Yao Rui’s change was too drastic for him to accept.
“Wanqing, what are you standing around for?
Help me out!”
“Oh!” Lu Wanqing finally snapped back to reality.
Following Yao Rui’s instructions, Lu Yuanming brought the chessboard, and suddenly remembering something, he couldn’t help but ask, “Do you know how to play chess?”
“If you can play, why can’t I?” Ye Chenfeng retorted.
“Hmph, don’t assume just because you’ve passed Wanqing’s mother’s test that you can marry my daughter.
Let me tell you, it’s impossible; I’m still here!” Lu Yuanming said darkly.
“Hehe, Lao Lu, it seems your words don’t count for much at home!” Ye Chenfeng laughed.
“…”
Lu Yuanming immediately found himself at a loss for words, as everyone who knew him was aware that he was under his wife’s thumb and indeed had little say at home.
“Aren’t you good at chess?
Let’s see if you are all talk or not!” Lu Yuanming prepared to test Ye Chenfeng.
