As bright as a star: Madam, she is an almighty little princess

"Aunt." Ling Qi called out seriously, and then leaned forward. "I left without saying goodbye. It was Ling Qi's fault. I apologize today for worrying you."

Shen Qingtang didn't expect Ling Qi to bring up this matter right away, and was stunned for a moment.

Ling Qi was always polite in front of the elders he respected, but at this moment, with his eyelashes drooped, his attitude of admitting his mistake as a junior was particularly sincere.

Suddenly, his forehead was poked hard several times.

Ling Qi looked up and saw Shen Qingtang frowning with a distressed look on her face, "You girl, you are really irritating."

As he said that, he raised his hand and hit Ling Qi's back three times, "You deserve a beating!"

It was clearly a reprimand, but there was not a trace of reprimand in it, only deep heartache.

The slap on my body didn't hurt, but instead felt a little warm.

The hand beside him was pulled up and patted twice, "How are you? Does it still hurt?"

Ling Qi shook his head, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

"That's good, that's good." Shen Qingtang held her hand and nodded repeatedly, "You look much better."

"But you still need to take care of yourself. I'll make you some nourishing soup later."

After receiving these three slaps, Ling Qi felt an indescribable sense of relief and warmth, and finally laughed, "I do miss my aunt's cooking skills."

As soon as the words fell, everyone present looked at him in surprise.

It was normal to talk in a coquettish way with elders, but everyone was shocked when it came from Ling Qi's mouth.

I have never seen Ling Qi be so intimate with anyone.

"Aunt, let's go in and talk." Ling Yu stepped forward and spoke.

"Okay, okay." Shen Qingtang responded twice, and then looked at the little person in his son's arms, "Aye didn't sleep well last night?"

"We were noisy until midnight yesterday, and got up before five in the morning to wait for the sunrise." Pei Yanxing answered while holding the kid steadily.

Shen Qingtang didn't take it when he saw this, for fear of waking the person up, so he pulled Ling Qi into the house.

The living room of the Ling family's elders had never been as lively as it was today. In addition to the Pei family's elders, the Ye family's elders, who had just had a quarrel more than a month ago, were also invited.

Except for Ye Xunying, the three families of Ling, Pei and Ye were all gathered here, and the two old men Si and Mo were also there.

The two of them called people one by one.

Ling Qi was called over by Old Lady Pei.

Ever since the incident in the second branch, the two elders of the Pei family refused to see anyone, and Ling Qi hardly saw them again before leaving.

When I saw him today, he was obviously not in as good shape as before, but he still came with me to Lingyuzhou.

Pei Yanxing sat below Ling Yu. Although it was not noisy, it still woke up the little person in his arms.

"Dad?" A childish voice with a hint of irritability came out. The person in his arms frowned and opened his half-rubbed eyes. "Where's Mom?"

This name made the living room quiet for a moment.

It was the first time I heard a kid shout out these two names in front of so many elders.

"Mom is at grandma's place." Pei Yanxing responded to the address skillfully and turned his head to face the people in the room.

Maybe it was because he had just woken up, the kid was still a little confused. He stared at the dozen or so pairs of eyes falling on him in a daze for a long while.

It was Ling Qi who spoke again, "Aye, come down and call for help."

After being put on the ground and standing up, the little guy came back to his senses and asked, "Why are there so many grandparents, uncles and aunts?"

With big, confused eyes, they bent down, nodded, and greeted everyone one by one. By the end of shouting, their mouths felt so dry.

Staring at the teacup on the table and blinking twice, Ling Yu smiled and asked the servant to pour a cup of warm water.

After drinking the glass, he came back to his senses completely. Looking at the people in the room who were still staring at him, he pursed his lips and lowered his head, then rushed to Ling Qi and buried his head in Ling Qi's arms.

"Mom, my baby is shy~"

The laughter in the room made the kid even more embarrassed to raise his head.

Shen Qingtang stretched out her hand at this time, "Come, Aye, come to grandma, long time no see, let grandma see Daguaibao."

He addressed himself familiarly and affectionately again, and the kid walked over to Shen Qingtang and Pei Bingyuan without any shyness, calling them grandpa and grandma obediently without a trace of strangeness.

The two elders of Ling Ye family looked at each other and had an idea in their minds.

After some pleasantries, we finally got to the main topic of today.

The news of yesterday's proposal has reached the ears of all the elders. As early as the second day after Ling Qi came back from Medicine Island, the two elders of the Pei family had already called the Ling family to talk about their marriage.

Three days ago, the Pei family had already arrived in Lingyu Island with the betrothal gifts, but except for Ling Yu who knew that the Pei family's plane had landed and went there to make arrangements, no one else in the Ling family knew about it.

It was not until the news that Ling Qi agreed to the proposal last night was transmitted to the mobile phone that the two elders of the Pei family called the Ling family again and came to the door with the betrothal gifts today.

With three books and six ceremonies, antiques and treasures, the marriage was finalized at the first real meeting between the parents of both parties, and no one was dissatisfied.

Everything was done in accordance with Ling Qi's opinions and feelings, and all matters were discussed thoroughly. In the end, even the date for the engagement party was finalized.

It was not easy for the two elders of the Pei family to make this trip, and the two ceremonies could not be held in the capital, so the engagement ceremony was scheduled in the palace, and the wedding would be held in the capital later.

The atmosphere was harmonious.

Lunch was eaten in the courtyard of the Ling family's elders. They were all family, discussing matters concerning their grandchildren together, so they did not go to the banquet hall to eat.

Several of the elderly people are old friends who have not seen each other for decades. It is a blessing for their descendants to have this opportunity to meet again.

Especially for the two elders of the Ling family, they were reluctant but also very happy as they no longer had to be trapped in the misfortunes of the past.

After dinner, Pei Bingyuan called Pei Yanxing out on the pretext of something.

In a corner of the corridor, Pei Bingyuan had his usual serious face, "Have you discussed the matter of Aye with Xiaoqi?"
