Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 453 - 455: Yu, are you married yet?

Compared to Xia Xiao’s three little monkeys, Ning Hui’s two were much quieter. Xia Xiao envied, "Xiao Min and Xiao Chang from your family are so clever."

"I actually envy your three. Kids should be all lively and hopping around. Mine are just too quiet," Ning Hui, on the contrary, thought Xia Xiao’s sons were great, so tough and cute with their little tiger-like heads.

Yang Xuehua laughed, "It’s just a case of ’the grass is always greener on the other side.’"

Xia Xiao also laughed. Looking at her own boisterous son, she felt Ning Hui’s quiet ones were better, but Ning Hui thought her two were too calm and thus liked Xia Xiao’s lively sons more.

Nothing much happened on the way. Thinking about seeing Gao Jiaxing soon, Xia Xiao felt a flutter of anticipation.

Before coming, Xia Xiao had sent a telegram to Gao Jiaxing; she had no idea if he’d received it.

Upon leaving the train station, Ning Hui invited Xia Xiao to her place, but Xia Xiao shook her head, unsure of what the grand households like the Li Family or the Ning Family were like.

Although Li Zhenchuan and Ning Hui were nice enough, Xia Xiao didn’t know what their families were like, so she wasn’t keen on visiting theirs. She smiled and said, "Another time, don’t worry, I will have the chance to visit."

Ning Hui, resigned, "Next time for sure, we’ve promised, haven’t we?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Definitely," said Xia Xiao, her eyes lighting up as she pointed to the distance, "My family’s here."

"Hello, sister-in-law," Gao Jiaxing greeted Ning Hui first.

Ning Hui smiled faintly, "Finally here. I wanted to invite you over to my place, but Xia Xiao is being a stranger."

Gao Jiaxing laughed, "We will definitely visit another day."

After exchanging greetings, Yu Shijie also called Xia Xiao "sister-in-law." At this time, the Li Family’s security guards came to pick up Ning Hui and her three.

"Daddy, daddy, daddy!" With repeated calls of "daddy," Feiyang and Feiyue clung to Gao Jiaxing, delighting him immensely.

Yu Shijie watched enviously. Even though he was older than Gao Jiaxing and of a solid age, he had not found a suitable match and also disagreed with his family’s arrangements. So he remained single. This time, looking at Xia Xiao’s crowd, Fang Yuan and Xia Lin were obviously a couple. Yu Shijie’s gaze landed on Yang Xuehua, pausing briefly before it quickly moved away.

After watching Ning Hui leave, Xia Xiao waved and turned to Gao Jiaxing, "Where are we going now?"

"Back to the school. I’ve booked rooms at the guesthouse across from the school," Gao Jiaxing said. He was thrilled from the moment he received the news that Xia Xiao was coming and naturally made arrangements.

After Ning Hui left, Xia Xiao introduced Yu Shijie to her sister, brother-in-law, and friends.

Seeing that Yu Shijie had taken an extra look at Yang Xuehua and hearing that he wasn’t married, while Yang Xuehua was also good-looking and had a pleasant demeanor—despite being in her thirties, she didn’t look it—Xia Xiao found it hard to restrain her matchmaking inclinations.

"Lieutenant Yu, are you married?" asked Xia Xiao, unable to help herself.

Yu Shijie replied with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I haven’t found anyone yet. If you know someone suitable, please introduce her to me."

Although Yu Shijie was older than Gao Jiaxing, his rank was lower—Gao Jiaxing was a Lieutenant and Yu Shijie was just a Lieutenant, one level below—so there was nothing wrong with Yu Shijie addressing Xia Xiao as sister-in-law.

Thinking back to her first attempt to set up Li Zhenchuan and Yang Xuehua, and now with the current uncertainty, Xia Xiao’s fervent matchmaking spirit instantly cooled.

Looking at Yu Shijie and then glancing unintentionally at Yang Xuehua, she truly felt that the two would make a good pair, mainly because both had good prospects.

"Just someone decent looking, single, with a good personality and character," Yu Shijie said earnestly.

Xia Xiao couldn’t just bluntly say, "How about this female comrade next to me?" She would have to ask Gao Jiaxing in private later on.

Once they reached the guesthouse, Xia Lin and Fang Yuan took one room, Xia Xiao and her children another, Yang Xuehua another, and Gao Jiaxing had booked one additional room.

Unnoticed privately, Yang Xuehua caught Xia Xiao and asked, "What are you scheming now?"

"Ha ha, nothing at all," denied Xia Xiao, refusing to admit anything.

"Not bad, I can see right through you," Yang Xuehua said.

Xia Xiao looked at Yang Xuehua, "Sister Xuehua, what do you think of that Lieutenant Yu?"

Yang Xuehua shook her head, "Him, I don’t think so. I might consider an ordinary person, but a soldier..." Yang Xuehua shook her head, finding it difficult.

Xia Xiao inwardly heaved a sigh, "Sister Xuehua, don’t worry, I won’t be reckless." Xia Xiao didn’t dare say more, fearing that if Yang Xuehua grew interested, things would be complicated, as the military wouldn’t approve despite Yu Shijie’s overall suitability.

Xia Xiao held Yang Xuehua’s hand, thinking to herself, it’d be better to focus on getting into university first and possibly elevate her status.

Meanwhile, Yu Shijie inquired about Yang Xuehua with Gao Jiaxing, "Does that friend beside your sister-in-law have a partner?"

"What do you want to do?" Gao Jiaxing looked at Yu Shijie.

Yu Shijie smiled, "I’m single, and your sister-in-law’s friend looks quite charming and matches my taste."

Gao Jiaxing didn’t need to say more or go into the details; Yu Shijie understood and felt an inward regret.

If that was the case, they were not suitable. The disparity in status wasn’t a concern on his father’s side for Yu Shijie, but the military barrier was not easy to overcome.
