My System Forces Me to Live off Women-Chapter 121 - 116: Treasure Boy

"Ah, it's nothing!"

"What's nothing?"

Xu Manning's back felt chilly, her heart was racing, and she instinctively linked arms with Wu Wenyue, as if gaining confidence this way, she calmly said, "I say, Li Peifeng has reached today mainly because of you two, uncle and aunt!"

"Hmm?"

Everyone looked at Xu Manning, especially Yu Huizhi and Li Qiyuan. If eyes could turn into daggers, Miss Xu might have already gone to reincarnate.

How dare you? I salute you as a warrior!

Manning, my love, next year I will burn paper for you! But please let go, I don't want to be buried with you...

Wu Wenyue was so scared she almost shook her hand off, and Li Peifeng almost wanted to run away, fearing bloodshed if he stayed.

"It truly is..."

Xu Manning's forehead was sweating, forcing a smile, she explained, "It's truly that you left such excellent genes for him, uncle and aunt. Look in the mirror, you're unreasonably youthful. When Yueyue and I came to pick you up, we almost didn't recognize you. Plus, one is devastatingly handsome, and the other breathtakingly beautiful, making Li Peifeng inherit your outstanding attractiveness, attracting more girls naturally."

"On the other hand, Li Peifeng has grown up around you, witnessing your perfect match, which is both his luck and misfortune."

"Why?"

Yu Huizhi and Li Qiyuan's expressions cleared from gloom, the murderous aura dissipating, yet their smiles remained confused. Li Qiyuan shook his head: "Happy parents, unfortunate children? Manning, what kind of logic is this?"

"Lucky in knowing what true love looks like. Unfortunate in believing his marriage could never reach the heights of his parents'. Even if he finds someone he desires, comparing marriages, a hundred percent he'll be disappointed..."

Xu Manning wiped nonexistent tears, sobbing, "But even so, it's worth it. Sob sob sob... Amazing! Why didn't I have parents as loving and remarkable as uncle and aunt? Heaven is so unfair!"

Yu Huizhi felt pity, quickly stepped forward to comfort, gently patting Xu Manning's back: "Oh dear, don't cry, child! You spoke so well, why cry?"

"She sounds somewhat reasonable..."

Li Qiyuan gazed at the stars, hands behind his back, lost in thought.

"North China University surely produces talents."

Huang Tianxuan lagged behind a few meters, somehow walking alongside Li Peifeng again. Witnessing the scene, she sighed, "In your school, bad acting can get you sentenced, right? First Professor Zhao, then Xu Manning, each one performs better than the last."

"Life is like a play."

Li Peifeng scratched his head, "I actually think she makes quite a bit of sense. The best man in the world is my dad, the best woman is my mom. No matter who I find in the future, they won't be as happy as them..."

"Scumbags will always find reasons to excuse their behavior."

Huang Tianxuan smilingly said, "But you're impressive; others find reasons to excuse you. Oh my, do all people in the Capital play like this?"

"Swear to the sky, I've never actively wronged anyone."

Li Peifeng solemnly said, "This, you should deeply feel."

Huang Tianxuan's lips quivered twice, rolled her eyes, "Dare you?"

On the other side...

"That's enough, that's enough." Wu Wenyue quietly said, "It's fine, take it easy."

"Yes, it's nothing, Auntie. I just got carried away for a moment..."

Xu Manning understood the principle of not overdoing it, quickly stopped crying, but feared the couple would realize her crying was fake, keeping her head down and rubbing her eyes.

"Sigh, Manning's parents might... also, couples from wealthy families... are more complex."

Yu Huizhi kept comforting until she suddenly remembered Xu Manning and her son's past relationship, feeling moved: "Actually, Auntie never felt comfortable asking before, and doesn't quite understand, why did you and Fengfeng break up? Was there, hmm..."

Li Qiyuan sighed, supplementing what his wife struggled to voice: "Manning, is there a possibility of starting over with Fengfeng?"

In the couple's view, Li Peifeng was a wreck; in North China University, his reputation was ruined, and proper girls wouldn't want to associate with him, yet there's a lot of time left in his studies, and it's time he seriously dated.

If he can't find a girlfriend in university with more girls than boys, it will be even harder in society.

Moreover, Yu Huizhi and Li Qiyuan, both university teachers, knew in general, the girls encountered in campus were much better in every aspect than those in society.

And the crucial difference is the dating experience!

Dating in society is more complicated and utilitarian; campus romance is relatively simpler and pure.

The couple still wants their son to experience campus romance; just now, there happens to be an acquaintance, Li Peifeng's only ex-girlfriend!

Although they were together for a short time, they announced it, indicating Xu Manning's special status in Li Peifeng's heart. On the other hand, she specifically came to pick up the couple, and from a brief conversation, she's quite likable.

But who knows if Xu Manning has that intention...

My gosh, unexpected harvest!!!

Xu Manning was ecstatic inside but controlled her emotions, thinking rapidly for a response, and after half a second, she slowly raised her head, showing those forcefully reddened eyes, glanced behind at Li Peifeng, then at Yu Huizhi, shyly whispered, "It depends on his thoughts, I'm okay..."

Before finishing her sentence, she felt her hand tightly held.

Enveloped, compressed, uh oh, it started hurting!!

"Okay?"

Wu Wenyue firmly grasped Xu Manning's hand, squeezing so hard her knuckles turned white, slowly lifted it, placing it between their bodies, grinning, "Okay?"

Xu Manning quietly said, "It hurts, let go."

"If I let go you'll fly away!"

"Uh?"

Li Qiyuan was puzzled by the two girls holding hands so tightly, especially Wu Wenyue, seemingly intentionally raising their hands to show him. Puzzled, under the streetlight, he noticed each wearing a rose gold diamond ring on their ring fingers, seemingly couple-type rings...

"??"

Yu Huizhi was perplexed: "You?"

"We are, not..."

Xu Manning weakly explained, subconsciously wanting to cover the ring, but realized it was too late, resignedly smiled, swallowing the words.

Li Qiyuan, having seen such situations on campus often, inferred what's going on from Xu Manning's reaction, sighed feeling helpless: "You, you're messing around!"

What's happening now is far messier than you imagine!

"Uncle. Auntie, let me reintroduce, so you won't misunderstand."

Wu Wenyue was quite frank, perhaps feeling caught, decided to go all out, shaking their held hands, grinning, "Xu Manning, before dating Li Peifeng, was my girlfriend; now she broke up with Li Peifeng, she's still my girlfriend!"

Oh my goodness, Brother Yue is leaking dominance!

Li Peifeng was filled with awe, grateful he hadn't worn that set of three-person couple jewelry tonight, decided to kiss the girls a few more times as thanks for helping divert hostility.

With such explosive news, his parents surely wouldn't scold him too harshly.

Scold more? Scold more? Aren't you afraid I'll bend like Wu Wenyue?

"What an eye-opener."

Huang Tianxuan, unsure if frightened by Wu Wenyue's aura, or her words, was somewhat stunned: "First time realizing interpersonal relationships can be so complex, human nature so twisted, ultimately my own experience is too limited..."

"Oh, it's all hormonal tricks."

Li Peifeng comforted, "Who's not confused in their youth, whose heart doesn't get hurt? But it's all in the past, all in the past, the three of us are now good friends! Exceptionally good!"

"Xiaofeng!"

Huang Tianxuan pondered long, at a loss for words, her mind still organizing the three-person relationship, finally squeezed out:

"You're truly a treasure boy!"
