The Villain's Little Sister is Spoiled by the Male Lead-Chapter 168: Settling Down 02

Sheng Rong continued, "It's Little Yu's father who hopes you two will settle down soon."

Song Luokui bit her lip. "I... haven't specifically visited Uncle Chi and Aunt Yan yet."

Sheng Rong said, "It's okay if you don't want to settle down yet. After all, you're still young." She patted Song Luokui's head. "You can do whatever you want, it's up to you."

Song Luokui's mind raced through several thoughts. "I'll talk to him about it." She wanted to communicate with Chi Yu, after all, it was a matter concerning both of them. Come to think of it, she was still wearing the ring he gave her.

"That's fine, it mainly depends on you two."

"Mm-hmm."

...

Song Moqian stayed in the hospital for another week before he could finally be discharged. Both Chi Yu and Song Luosheng had investigated the Lin Family—not Lin Cheng's family, but Minister Lin's family.

Now, in Song Luosheng's room at the Song residence, Chi Yu and Song Luosheng sat face to face. This was the first time the two had sat together without any disagreements.

Chi Yu handed over his findings. "Although it appears to be the Lin Family on the surface, the Wei Family is behind them."

Song Luosheng also pushed his own investigation results to Chi Yu. As he flipped through Chi Yu's materials, he said, "Wei Qing is still trapped abroad by me."

Chi Yu: "Someone who can orchestrate such a big event—it's not something he could pull off."

Song Luosheng directly wrote a name on a blank paper with his pen. Chi Yu nodded, "There's a high possibility. He and my father have vastly different opinions."

Song Luosheng: "My father doesn't like him either."

Chi Yu took a sip of tea. "For the next election, I think..."

The two chatted in the room for quite a while. Song Luokui knocked on the door and brought in some fruit. "You two haven't started fighting yet, that's really rare."

Song Luosheng picked up an orange and started peeling it. "Who do you think it's for?"

Song Luokui was a bit embarrassed. "For me, of course. My brother is being gracious. Hehe, quickly eat some fruit."

Chi Yu also picked up an orange and started peeling. When both had finished, they simultaneously offered their oranges to Song Luokui, followed by another intense eye contact. Sparks seemed to fly in the air.

Song Luosheng looked at Song Luokui: "Kuikui, which one do you choose?"

Song Luokui: ... Why did she come to deliver fruit?

Song Luokui chuckled twice, taking both oranges. "I can eat two. I'll eat both, both." She began eating a slice from the left, then a slice from the right.

Song Luosheng: "At least you have a conscience, starting with the one I peeled first."

Song Luokui: ... Do they have to compete over everything?

Chi Yu didn't say anything, just poured a cup of tea for Song Luokui.

Song Luokui gave each of them a piece of fruit. "You two eat, I brought these especially for you." In the end, she ate first.

"What were you two discussing earlier?" Song Luokui asked while eating, her cheeks puffing out.

Chi Yu: "Nothing much, just talking business."

Song Luosheng nodded. "Yes, business."

Song Luokui was surprised. "You two are going to collaborate in business?"

Chi Yu: "Yes, we can cooperate in certain areas."

Song Luosheng: "That's right."

Song Luokui looked at her brother strangely. Why was her brother constantly agreeing? Shouldn't he be refuting Chi Yu? Why was she so disbelieving?

But it was good that they weren't arguing or fighting. As for what they were saying, she didn't want to delve too deeply.

The three stayed in Song Luosheng's room for a while before going out, as it was time for dinner. That evening, Chi Yu simply had dinner at the Song family's home.

After dinner, Song Luokui brought him to her room. She wanted to ask him about settling down.

Chi Yu sat on a chair to one side, and Song Luokui sat on his lap, leaning against him. "Mom said Uncle Chi wants us to settle down soon. What do you think?"

Chi Yu played with her hand. "What do you think?"

Song Luokui mumbled, "I think... it's a bit too soon."

Chi Yu leaned in, his nose tip touching hers. "Then when do you think would be better?"

Song Luokui: "At least wait until I graduate."

Chi Yu kissed her once. "But I want to marry you right after you graduate."

Song Luokui covered her mouth, her eyes wide. "Wouldn't that be too fast?"

Chi Yu interlocked their fingers tightly. "Too fast? If possible, I'd like to marry you this year. That way, you can come straight home to our place every day, without needing to find excuses."

Song Luokui: "...That's too fast. I'm not ready yet."

Chi Yu kissed her hand. "Okay, I'll wait until you agree. No problem. Whenever you want."

Song Luokui: "But Uncle Chi..."

Chi Yu: "My father is just looking out for me. But could you find some time to come back with me to meet my parents?"

Song Luokui was a bit nervous. "After some time. I think it's too fast, and I'm a bit nervous."

Chi Yu: "Don't be nervous. My parents like you a lot."

Song Luokui: "How do you know?"

Chi Yu: "Because you're the prettiest girl in the compound. My parents are both looks-obsessed. They've even talked about you at home before."

Song Luokui found it a bit unbelievable. "What did they say?"

Chi Yu: "They said the Song family's girl is as cute and pretty as a little dumpling, and it would be great if our family could have one too."

Song Luokui: "How did you feel at that time?"

Chi Yu: "I didn't feel much, but later I thought having one at home would be nice. Now, I'm about to fulfill this wish." Chi Yu looked at her, smiling.

Song Luokui felt less nervous. "Then... after some time? A month? See if your parents have time."

"Okay."

The two cuddled together, chattering about many things. But not long after, Song Luosheng came knocking. Chi Yu immediately let go of her and stood up, holding her hand. "I want to get married quickly so I won't be interrupted by your brother anymore."

Song Luokui: ... 𝚏r𝗲ewe𝚋𝐧𝚘vel.𝚌𝚘m

Opening the door, it was indeed Song Luosheng. He looked at Chi Yu: "You should go now."

Chi Yu also felt it was about time. But the two walked downstairs hand in hand. Song Luokui only returned after seeing him off.

Song Luosheng crossed his arms. "Kuikui, you're not being tempted by him to settle down quickly, are you?"

Song Luokui shook her head. "No, not that fast."

Song Luosheng let out a sigh of relief. "That's good." Thinking about his own sister actually settling down with another man, he felt a pang in his heart. His sister was still young.

In the weeks following the New Year, the situation grew increasingly turbulent. One day you'd hear about someone being taken away, the next you'd see another under investigation. The compound had become noticeably quieter, with even the gossips keeping their voices down. Moreover, there seemed to be more visitors than usual, though they were all there to see her father or mother.

The phone at home was ringing more often too, but never for Song Luokui.

Song Luokui paid little attention to all this. However, she did notice that Chi Yu and her own brother seemed rather busy lately. In fact, Chi Yu had only been calling her recently, no longer picking her up for classes or driving her home from school.

Song Luokui didn't mind, though. She wasn't the type to cling to her boyfriend constantly. She only reminded both of them to eat their meals on time and get enough rest, while she herself had plenty to keep her occupied.
