Chu Xiaoxiao said with a grin, "My mom says I need to eat my fill to have energy, otherwise if other kids bully me, I won't have the strength to fight back."
Luo Yan couldn't help but ruffle her little head and smiled, " Xiaoxiao, you're so cute."
"Sister, you're so pretty. If big brother ever bullies you again, I'll beat him up for you."
As she spoke, Chu Xiaoxiao waved her Xiaoxiao fist and then glared at Cao Yu without any threat.
This amused the two of them.
"Don't worry, Xiaoxiao, I won't bully my sister."
Even if I bully her, you're just a little kid and you can't see it.
After all, he only bullied Luo Yan at night, Cao Yu thought smugly to himself.
After the banquet, everyone patted their bellies, full and satisfied, while Chu Xiaoxiao kept burping.
Judging from her appearance, she was clearly already stuffed.
Cao Yu wondered if this girl would grow up to be a tank; he hoped not. He could only pray for her in his heart.
They stayed there for an entire afternoon, until it began to get dark, before gradually leaving.
Not long after, Cao Yu and his group returned to the Luo residence.
In the hall, he started chatting with his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Luo Yan also sat next to Cao Yu and occasionally said a word or two.
When they talked about their future plans, Luo Tianqin said with a smile:
" Xiao Yan, seeing your sister get married today, you must be quite envious, haha!"
"Yes, a little." Luo Yan glanced at Cao Yu a few times, then nodded.
As Luo Yan's parents, Luo Tianqin and Meng Xi naturally understood her personality, and could guess her inner thoughts to some extent from her facial expressions and every move.
The couple couldn't help but laugh out loud. Luo Tianqin then asked, " Little Yu, when do you plan to marry Xiao Yan?"
"After graduation, I'll choose an auspicious day to marry Luo Yan."
"That's good, that's good." The two elders nodded happily; it seemed it was time to prepare Xiao Yan's dowry.
They chatted for a few more hours before getting up and going back to their rooms to rest.
After locking the door, Cao Yu couldn't wait to hold Luo Yan in his arms.
Kissing, hugging, gradually reaching a fever pitch.
Luo Yan held back her words, and only then did Cao Yu say with a smile, "Have you forgotten? I have a soundproof Soul Tool."
A pale blue magic circle enveloped the entire room.
Nothing more was said that night.
After staying at the Luo residence for a few more days, Cao Yu finally suggested that they prepare to leave.
Luo Tianqin and Meng Xi, a married couple, showered Cao Yu with many fine gifts. Although they were both extremely reluctant to part with him, they still stood at the gate of the Luo residence, watching the two of them with lingering affection.
" Xiao Yan, remember to take good care of yourself after you return to the academy. Your health is very important!"
"Okay, Mom and Dad."
As she spoke, Meng Xi said to Cao Yu, "Take good care of Xiao Yan, and remember to let us know if anything happens."
"Yes, I will." Cao Yu nodded, then took Luo Yan's hand and walked up to the Flying Soul Engineer.
"Mom and Dad, please take good care of yourselves. I'll come back to see you after I graduate." Luo Yan turned around and waved, her eyes filled with reluctance.
However, considering that graduation was fast approaching, she forced herself not to cry.
The two left Red Maple City, but Cao Yu stopped when they passed Star Luo City.
"Come on, now it's your turn to meet my parents."
"Huh? I'm not ready yet. Maybe we can come next time." Luo Yan shook her head, somewhat at a loss. But before she could react, Cao Yu took her hand and headed towards the Cao Clan mansion.
The guards standing outside the door greeted Cao Yu with joy and shouted:
"Young Master, why are you back?"
"I took leave and came back to visit." Cao Yu said, pointing to Luo Yan beside him, " Uncle Li, Uncle Liu, this is my girlfriend, Luo Yan."
"Young master is so lucky; all his girlfriends are stunningly beautiful."
"Greetings, young mistress!"
"Hello, everyone." Luo Yan stood close to Cao Yu's right side. It was her first time visiting Cao Yu's home, and she felt quite shy.
When the two arrived at the Cao Clan's main hall, they found no one there.
It wasn't until a while later that the old man's voice came from outside the hall.
"What! Little Yu is back?"
All I saw was the old man rushing towards the hall, his fishing rod and basket still in his hands.
Wow! Looks like the old man went fishing again.
Upon closer inspection, the fish basket contained quite a few small fish, only one large one, and of course, some crabs as well.
"Grandpa, you had a good haul today!" Cao Yu couldn't help but praise him.
The old man laughed heartily, holding the bamboo basket full of fish, seemingly showing off his catch.
"Haha, these are just the right amount to make soup for you."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Luo Yan, who was standing next to Cao Yu, and asked, "Granddaughter-in-law, what's your name?"
Luo Yan said softly, "Grandpa, my name is Luo Yan."
"Haha, the name is quite nice. You play here with Little Yu for a while. I'll go and get these fish ready, otherwise they'll spoil."
The old man put the fishing rod in the corner, then picked up the fish basket and hurried to the kitchen.
"Hmm, does Grandpa need any help?"
"No need, no need. You sit down and chat with Little Yu for a while."
As the old man walked, he took out his free hand, took out his phone, and dialed a number.
This phone was specially made by the research institute, and it was also plated with gold.
"Hey! Xiang'er, your son is back with his wife, why don't you come back and see them?"
"Alright, alright, hurry back, or I won't leave you a single drop of the fish soup I cooked."
After hearing what his father said on the phone, Cao Xiang immediately bid farewell to Tang Yichuan, the leader of the Tang Sect Clan.
Then he took his wife Luo Lingyun's hand and rushed towards the Cao Clan's house.
"That Little Yu guy actually brought his daughter-in-law along! He didn't even tell us earlier so we could have made some preparations."
However, Luo Lingyun was a little worried. Looking at Cao Xiang, she said, "I wonder if this daughter-in-law is someone we've met before. Perhaps Little Yu has found another girlfriend?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Xiang was speechless for a moment, as it was indeed quite possible given his son's personality.
"It's alright, doesn't this just prove our son is outstanding? We should be happy. Let's go back quickly, otherwise Grandpa will scold us again."
Looking at the Cao Clan, which was even larger than her own, Luo Yan looked around with some curiosity.
" Brother Yu, is Grandpa really that good at fishing? He can catch so many fish."
Cao Yu couldn't help but laugh and cry, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. I bet the old man didn't catch this fish; it was just fried."
"When I was little, he couldn't catch a single fish, and he would always fry a few to console himself."
Only then did Luo Yan realize what was happening, and said, "Oh~ no wonder some of the fish in that basket were cut into several pieces."
