Reborn in the 80s: Everyone Falls For Me
Chapter 639: (3rd Update)

Chapter 639: Chapter 639: (3rd Update)

Zuo Qing let out a "yah" and fell to the grass, looking at Ye Shaoting in disbelief.

Ye Shaoting: "..."

It wasn’t intentional.

He swore on his conscience.

He had pinched her arm just now because she was so skinny, it seemed incredible that someone could be that thin.

He looked at Qu Xiaoran, who was also a woman, but her arms were quite firm. How come?

The woman before him seemed so frail that a gust of wind could knock her over.

Seeing her incredulous expression, Ye Shaoting rarely felt embarrassed.

He quickly pulled her back up: "Sorry, I didn’t mean to, are you okay?"

"I’m fine," Zuo Qing said, each word through clenched teeth.

Her self-restraint prevented her from hurling insults at anyone.

But for this man, she had completely lost all favorable impressions.

Ye Shaoting was somewhat helpless; it seemed like he had unintentionally offended someone, and it was a delicate woman at that.

Zuo Qing was wearing light-colored clothes, and after falling to the ground twice, they naturally got dirty—and noticeably so.

She and Ye Shaoting returned home one after the other, with Ye Shaoting following behind her.

As soon as they entered the house, the others noticed.

"Oh my, what happened?" the old lady asked.

Xu Wentian also looked at Zuo Qing with concern.

Zuo Qing hurriedly said: "It’s nothing, I just took a little fall."

Seeing that she was really okay, the old lady asked Xu Niannian to take her to change her clothes.

Then, remembering Xu Niannian’s injury, she said, "Sisi, take your Young Aunt there."

Xu Niannian quickly stood up: "It’s okay, I’ll take Qingqing Young Aunt. Sisi might not know where I keep my clothes."

When Xu Niannian uttered the words "Young Aunt," she really felt awkward.

After changing her clothes, both families gathered around the table to start the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Chance would have it that Jin Ruiyang sat next to Xu Sisi, and it was unclear whether it was intentional or coincidental.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, the elders started handing out red packets to the younger generation.

Even Xu Niannian and Jin Yu, who were both married, received several red packets.

As for Xiao Bao and Da Bao, they completely hit the jackpot.

The two kids were wearing festive red cotton jackets, showing off their white, chubby cheeks.

They wouldn’t let go of their red packets.

The old lady and Ye Qin held one child each, and Xu Niannian, itching to take her own baby, managed to hold back.

Otherwise, she would have been criticized again.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner came the tradition of staying up late to see in the New Year.

Since the two families had already celebrated the New Year’s Eve dinner together, they naturally stayed up late together as well.

Staying up meant waiting until midnight, 12 a.m.

The old lady and Ye Qin had things weighing on their minds.

As if sharing a telepathic connection, they slowly came to sit together.

"Aunt Xu, you see, our Ruiyang isn’t getting any younger..."

The old lady immediately caught on: "Indeed, he isn’t."

Xu Sisi felt a shiver of apprehension and looked at the two, sensing an ominous premonition.

She thought of that absurd verbal marriage agreement.

A deed of her father’s doing.

Xu Sisi tensed up nervously, her entire body stiffened.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, everyone moved to the living room sofas. Jin Ruiyang sat next to Xu Sisi, leaning on the sofa, while Xu Sisi sat stiffly upright.

Jin Ruiyang saw every change in her in an instant.

Was she that nervous?

Jin Ruiyang knew Ye Qin all too well; as soon as she started speaking, he knew what she was about to say.

If it were the past, Jin Ruiyang would have slipped away, but now, he decided to listen.

"Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu, I know Sisi is still in school, but Ruiyang is also not young anymore. Since the two children have feelings for each other, why don’t we have an engagement party?"

Ye Qin spoke very politely.

"Who... hmm?" Just as Xu Sisi was about to ask who had feelings, Jin Ruiyang immediately covered her mouth.

With wide, uncomprehending eyes, Xu Sisi looked at Jin Ruiyang.

Jin Ruiyang gave her a gentle smile, his bangs hanging loosely on his forehead: "Shh, children shouldn’t interrupt adults when they’re talking."

Xu Sisi: "..."

"Shall we go out and play?" Jin Ruiyang asked gently, his voice so warm it made one’s ears blush.

Xu Sisi couldn’t withstand Jin Ruiyang when he was like this.

Because every time he was like this, she would foolishly swoon.

And because she always got lost in the gentle Brother Ruiyang, Xu Sisi didn’t know if what she liked was the real Jin Ruiyang or the facade he put on.

Their movements caught the attention of Ye Qin and the old lady, who smiled satisfactorily.

It was about time for a formal engagement party.

"Let’s go, let’s go outside," Jin Ruiyang said as he pulled Xu Sisi outside.

Xu Niannian and Jin Yu, both wounded, were asked by the old lady to return to their room to rest.

In the courtyard, Jin Xiaoni and Jin Ruibing, along with Xu Qiang and Xu Xiaoxia, were playing with sparklers.

Eager for their red packets, Xu Qiang and his sister Xu Xiaoxia had rushed out right after dinner.

Xu Sisi was led outside by Jin Ruiyang in a daze, not snapping back to reality until she heard the hissing sound of the sparklers.

Once again, she had lost herself to Jin Ruiyang’s tender maneuvers.

Oh gosh, she was almost unsure of which side was the real Brother Ruiyang, Xu Sisi bemoaned as she covered her face.

"Sisi, come and play with the sparklers, it’s so much fun," Jin Xiaoni, completely oblivious, ran over to pull Xu Sisi into the activity.

Jin Ruiyang’s tender gaze instantly froze. What was this idiot doing here? Didn’t she know he was trying to charm Xiao Sisi?
