Si Weimin didn't make it too explicit, but Lin Fengying could discern the rejection concealed within his words.
Lin Fengying, embarrassed and unwilling to concede, stiffened her expression before eventually saying: "Weimin, I mean nothing else by this, I just want to take care of you and Xiaohui. We are getting on in age, why should we care what others think? Besides, as long as you call me by my name from now on, we would seem like a family of three in the eyes of others. Who would dare gossip about it?"
Back when they were together, Si Weimin never called her 'Sister-in-law' in private. He always called her by her name.
Si Weimin's face grew gloomy. He glanced unconsciously towards Si Xiaohui's bedroom. Seeing the door shut, he said, "Things are not as they were before. If you feel lonely, seek a companion. Xiaohui mentioned to me once, Boyi and Xiaochen have no objection to you finding a companion. I believe it's not a bad idea."
