Chapter 406 Refusal

"What? That boy didn't agree?" Xiao Qingfeng stared at his son Xiao Guangfu and asked in disbelief.

Xiao Guangfu came back from Li Tianyu and dared not hide it from his father, so he told Xiao Qingfeng everything.

"Dad, everyone has their own ambitions. Brother Li may really have important things to do and cannot stay in our Xiao family. But he also said that he just stayed in our house for two days and left." Xiao Guangfu heard this and quickly said good things to Li Tianyu, for fear that his father would drive Li Tianyu away in anger.

"Hmph, forget it, that kid is ungrateful, and I'm too lazy to waste time with him. You just went home and worked hard all the way. Go back and rest." Xiao Qingfeng waved his hand and sent Xiao Guangfu away.

At noon the next day, Xiao Yu and Li Tianyu were walking in the garden. They were holding hands, talking and laughing, and walked gently on the grass.

"Brother Li, why don't you agree to stay? Do you know? My father really hopes that you can stay. In this case, you don't have to be afraid of the Evil Blood Sect and Ouyang Yufeng and others." Xiao Yu turned his head and looked at Li Tianyu and asked in confusion. She had heard about yesterday from her elder brother, and Xiao Yu was extremely disappointed that Li Tianyu would not agree to stay in the Xiao family.

"Xiaoyu, I want you to remember one thing. I am a man. I can't rely on your Xiao family as a backer. This is my style of being a person and doing things. Now, even in the future, it will never change." Li Tianyu said unhappy when he heard this.

"Well, I remember, sorry, Brother Li, I won't say this again in the future." Xiao Yu quickly apologized when he saw this, for fear that Li Tianyu would be really angry.

"It's okay, Xiaoyu, you don't know me very well now. I don't blame you. Stop talking about this. I plan to leave here tomorrow. Today I will have a good time with you." Li Tianyu said with a smile.

"Ah? Brother Li, you are leaving tomorrow? Then where are you going?" Xiao Yu was shocked and asked quickly.

"Well, I still have important things to deal with. Don't worry, I will come to you after the handling." Li Tianyu smiled when he heard this, and did not tell the true purpose. He didn't want Xiao Yu to worry about him.

"Okay, Brother Li, you have to remember what you said today. Come to see me immediately after you finish your business. I'll wait for you at home." Xiao Yu smiled and held Li Tianyu's hand. The two of them sat in the pavilion in the garden, enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of them. The breeze blew, and Xiao Yu couldn't help but slowly bent his head on Li Tianyu's shoulder, leaned against him, and closed his eyes.

Smelling the scent of the girl on Xiao Yu's body, Li Tianyu slowly stretched out his hand and hugged Xiao Yu's slender waist. The two of them snuggled up to each other and sat quietly in the pavilion.

"Miss, Miss." At this moment, a maid's cry suddenly came from the entrance of the garden.

Xiao Yu was awakened by the maid's voice, opened her eyes, and a hint of unhappiness appeared on her face. The wonderful time she had finally enjoyed with Brother Li was disturbed.

Soon, a little maid of seventeen or eighteen years old rushed into the garden, came to the pavilion, bowed to Xiao Yu and said, "Miss, please go home immediately, if you have something to do."

"Xiao Lan, what's the matter with my father looking for me?" Xiao Yu stared at the maid in confusion and asked.

"This... Miss, I don't know. I only saw Young Master Ouyang Qiu and his old housekeeper coming together, and it seemed that he had brought a lot of gifts." The maid Xiaolan hurriedly told the truth after hearing this.

"Is Ouyang Qiu coming? Xiaolan, go and tell my father that I have important things now and I don't have time to see him." Xiao Yu frowned slightly when he heard this, and said to Xiaolan with some displeasure.

"Miss, you should go back with me. The master has given me instructions and I must find you. If you don't go, the master will make things difficult for me. Please, Miss." Xiaolan almost cried anxiously and begged hard.

"Okay, I'll go back with you and make it clear to my dad myself, Brother Li, wait for me here for a while, and I'll be back soon." Xiao Yu smiled and said to Li Tianyu, leaving the garden with his maid Xiaolan.

"Is Ouyang Qiu coming?" Li Tianyu sat in the pavilion, and a vague premonition arose in his heart.

When he arrived at the palace where his father lived, Xiao Yu had just entered the hall and saw boxes filled with them. The boxes were sticked with red paper, and he didn't know what was contained inside.

At this time, his father Xiao Qingfeng and his elder brother Xiao Guangfu were accompanying Ouyang Qiu, and there was also an old man with white hair and beard talking and laughing. After Xiao Yu entered, they all stopped talking and turned their eyes to Xiao Yu.

"Xiaoyu, you are back. I've been waiting for you here for a long time." When Ouyang Qiu saw Xiao Yu, he immediately stood up with a smile on his face, walked to Xiao Yu and said.

Xiao Yu said lightly, ignored Ouyang Qiu, went straight forward, saw the greeting with his father's elder brother, and then asked in confusion: "Dad, are you asking me for trouble?"

"Xiaoyu, how could you be so rude to Nephew Ouyang? Really, Nephew Ouyang, Yu'er has been spoiled by me since childhood, so don't take it to heart." Seeing that Xiao Yu was so cold to Ouyang Qiu, Xiao Qingfeng immediately gave his daughter a lesson unhappy, and then looked up and said to Ouyang Qiu.

"Haha, Uncle Xiao, don't say that. My nephew has been loving Xiaoyu for a long time, but he knows that he is not talented and knowledgeable. Xiaoyu looks down on me a little, so he is so lukewarm to me. But Uncle Xiao, don't worry, my nephew will never take it to heart." Ouyang Qiu said with a smile when he heard this.

"Dad, tell me quickly, what's the matter with me? My daughter still has important things to do. If nothing happens, my daughter will leave first." Xiao Yu didn't want to see Ouyang Qiu in her heart, so she stared at Xiao Qingfeng angrily.

"Hmph, you girl, are becoming more and more presumptuous. Sit down for me and tell you about your father's important things. Ouyang Nephew, sit down, let's talk in detail." Xiao Qingfeng stared at Xiao Yu with a stern face.

Although Xiao Yu was a little reluctant, his father had to sit down after he spoke. Ouyang Qiu immediately sat in the seat next to Xiao Yu with a smile as if he had seen a bee from a flower.

"Yu'er, this time Ouyang Xianxian and the old housekeeper Ouyang Ning came to our Xiao family. They were here to give the betrothal gift. My father was very satisfied with Ouyang Xianxian and had agreed to his request to book your marriage first. When you choose auspicious day for both of you in the future, you will choose a date to get married. What do you think?" Xiao Qingfeng said straight to the point.

"What? Dad, have you agreed?" Xiao Yu's face changed drastically when he heard this. He stood up from the chair and stared at his father in disbelief. Unexpectedly, his father agreed to betroth him to Ouyang Qiu.

"Yes, is there any problem?" Xiao Qingfeng asked in confusion after hearing this.

"Of course there is a problem. Dad, I won't agree. I won't marry Ouyang Qiu even if I die." Xiao Yu replied stubbornly when he heard this.

"Rareless, the matchmaker's orders are ordered by his parents. Now that my father has agreed to this marriage, how can you object? Yu'er, you are not young anymore, it's time to find a good husband. Ouyang Xiannie is a talented man, and at a young age, his strength has reached the early stage of Emperor Wu. He is a young talent on the list of geniuses. What are you not satisfied with?" Xiao Qingfeng looked stern when he heard this, picked up his father's airs and persuaded him earnestly.

"Dad, my daughter will never agree to this marriage even if she dies, and her daughter already has a beloved man in her heart." Xiao Yu said hard when she heard this.

"Pa." Xiao Qingfeng was furious when he heard this. He suddenly stretched out his right hand and slapped Xiao Yu in the face. He was also very angry. This girl admitted in front of so many people that she had a beloved man. What a great deal? She didn't take him seriously, her father at all.

"Wuwu, Dad, you hit me? Wuwu..." Although my father's slap was very light, Xiao Yu felt very wronged. He quickly turned around with tears in his eyes and ran out of the hall.

"Yu'er..." Xiao Qingfeng looked at the back of this stubborn daughter and sighed helplessly.

"Uncle Xiao, I'm sorry, for your nephew's affairs, you and Xiaoyu are disagreeable. I'm really sorry." Ouyang Qiu stood up and apologized to Xiao Qingfeng when he saw this.

"Oh, Nephew Ouyang, this matter has nothing to do with you, it's all my fault. I usually dote on this girl too much, which makes her develop a willful nature. Let's do this, Nephew Ouyang, you and your old housekeeper will stay in our Xiao family for a few days. In these days, your aunt and I will do some good work on Yu'er. I think she will definitely agree to this marriage." Xiao Qingfeng thought for a while and slowly said to Ouyang Qiu.

"Well, that nephew is disturbing Uncle Xiao. I will stay here for a few days and wait for the good news from Uncle Xiao." Ouyang Qiu smiled and agreed. He asked him to live here, but he was asking for it.

"Fu'er, go and arrange a guest room for Ouyang Xiannie and the others. You must treat them well and not neglect them. Do you know?" Xiao Qingfeng looked at Xiao Guangfu and said with a stern expression.

"Yes, Dad, don't worry, the child will make arrangements." Xiao Guangfu stood up and answered respectfully when he heard this, then took Ouyang Qiu and the old butler Ouyang Ning to the guest room. As for the servants of the Ouyang family brought by Ouyang Qiu, Xiao Guangfu asked the servants of the Xiao family to help them arrange their residence.

"Come on, move these betrothal gifts to the side hall first." Xiao Qingfeng called a few servants and asked them to move all the boxes containing betrothal gifts in the main hall to the side hall for placement.

Xiao Yu was slapped by his father and rushed to the garden crying. At this time, Li Tianyu was sitting in the pavilion. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he was almost immersed in his mind.

"Brother Li..." Xiao Yu rushed to Li Tianyu with a crying voice and shouted.

"Ah? Xiaoyu, what happened?" Li Tianyu saw Xiao Yu crying, and immediately stood up from the stone bench, took a few steps forward, grabbed Xiao Yu's hand and asked with concern.

"Woo woo..." Xiao Yu flew into Li Tianyu's arms in grievance, and cried sadly.
