The Courtyard House: Xu Damao's Aunt is the Queen of Women

"So many!"

Liu Hao was delighted; the ingredients for the banquet had arrived!

"Ye Juan and I will come to the East Fourth Branch Hospital after get off work tomorrow and carry it home."

Ye Xi gently shook her head: "No need, I'll have someone bring it back by car tomorrow."

"That works too. Sister Xi, you sit by the fire and I'll cook two of my best dishes. We'll throw you a small celebration dinner tonight."

Liu Hao put down the banner and walked into the kitchen humming a song.

Ye Xi looked at Liu Hao's tall and upright back, smiled, and walked to the door to pour water to wash her hands.

In the kitchen, Liu Hao saw Ye Juan bending over and adding charcoal to the stove as soon as he entered.

He stepped forward and slapped her!

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Ye Juan jumped up and glared at Liu Hao in annoyance.

"You want to mess with your hands, huh? I'll chop them off, you believe me?"

"..."

Liu Hao's lips twitched slightly, then he opened his arms and hugged the little queen, lowering his head to give her a big kiss.

"My dear wife, your older sister has so many prizes! 100 jin of flour..."

Ye Juan smiled broadly and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, that's good. In the future, you can teach your older sister to solve more world-class math problems and help her get promoted and receive a raise. Then we'll have endless money and meat to eat, hahaha."

"Hehe, that's exactly what I was thinking!"

The couple exchanged a glance and revealed a mischievous grin, as if they were kindred spirits.

The little queen felt that her eldest sister's life ideal was to share the country's burdens and make the country strong and prosperous. She was always thinking about scientific research and rarely spent money on herself. She would reluctantly accept her eldest sister's salary, prizes, and the like.

Liu Hao started cooking, and the little queen assisted him.

While cracking eggs, the little queen suddenly thought of something and whispered, "Honey, what about eldest sister's personal life? She's already twenty-two this year, and the family doesn't dare introduce her to anyone. She doesn't plan to date or get married either. She can't stay single and childless forever, can she?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Hao, who was cutting meat, said, "Last time I asked her about finding a partner, she said it wasn't that she didn't want to get married, but rather that she wanted to find someone who shared her values ​​and interests!"

The little queen was speechless!

My older sister is now an associate researcher at the Institute of Computing Technology, at administrative level 12. It's really hard to find an unmarried young man who can match her abilities.

Moreover, she believes that no one is good enough for the eldest sister!

My older sister is such a good person. She is gentle and virtuous. Such an excellent person, but the thought of her marrying someone else, serving her in-laws, and managing the household, and having to share all that goodness with someone unrelated, makes her feel suffocated and disgusted.

Wait, isn't the eldest sister and Liu Hao like-minded?

If my older sister goes with Liu Hao, then I can be with her forever?

No one else understands how good my older sister is, and no one can love and protect her like I do. Only when she's with me can she be completely at ease without suffering any grievances. She belongs to me, and can only be mine. No one can take her away from me.

Ye Juan thought it over and it seemed more and more feasible. She whispered, "Honey, why don't you go with my older sister? I don't mind."

"..."

Liu Hao's heart skipped a beat; he almost cut his hand with the cleaver.

Is the little queen testing me?

"Get lost! What nonsense are you spouting? All I want in this life is to stay with you!"

Ye Juan's stunningly beautiful face lit up with a radiant smile as she hugged Liu Hao from behind and said softly, "Brother, you're so kind. Meeting you must have been a great act of kindness in my past life."

"But I'm not testing you; I genuinely hope my older sister can find a good home!"

"Without your guidance and help, my elder sister could not have achieved such great success. It's safe to say that my elder sister is practically inseparable from you; she can't live without you for the rest of her life!"

"Think about it carefully, doesn't that make sense?"

Liu Hao fell silent, lost in thought.

The little queen is absolutely right.

Ye Xi's rapid growth, rising from a Level 6 Assistant Researcher to an Associate Researcher in less than half a month, was largely due to his strong support.

He is now Ye Xi's mentor and human supercomputer. Ye Xi needs his guidance to solve all her difficult problems...

"Honey, don't play dumb with me. Don't think I don't know you actually like Big Sister too. This morning, Big Sister was jumping rope at the door, and you not only stared at her lecherously, but you also flirted with her. I heard it all from inside the house."

Ye Juan's words instantly brought Liu Hao back to his senses.

His face flushed red, and he awkwardly explained, "I mean, I admire it, you understand?"

Ye Juan looked at Liu Hao with utter disdain: "Heh? You dare swear to your ancestors that you have no ulterior motives?"

"..."

Liu Hao was speechless. This little queen was too clever; she made him swear oaths to his ancestors at the drop of a hat!

"See? I told you so! You're still stubbornly refusing to admit it. I don't even want to talk to you about it!"

Ye Juan pouted and reached out to pinch Liu Hao's ear.

"Tell me, have you been coveting my eldest sister all along?"

Liu Hao honestly admitted, "Well... maybe a little, but I love you the most!"

Ye Juan let go, snuggled into Liu Hao's arms, tilted her head back, and said with a grin, "I'm not stupid. From the first time we met, you never hid your feelings for me. After we got married, you liked me even more."

"Of course, me too. I wish I could be glued to you all the time, hahaha."

"Let's get back to business. Give me a straight answer, and I'll talk to my sister!"

Liu Hao pondered for a moment, then asked in confusion, "What's gotten into you today? Why are you being so magnanimous?"

Ye Juan sighed, saying with a hint of helplessness, "There are two reasons. First, your constitution is exceptionally gifted, and I can't handle it. If this continues, I feel like I'm going to break down!"

"Secondly, my older sister has been really good to me. She has always indulged me in everything since I was a child. This time, it's my turn to indulge her."

"Thirdly, my eldest sister is very outstanding. Just thinking about her marrying someone else makes me feel uncomfortable and nauseous. So I think it's most suitable for her to be with us!"

Liu Hao understood!

The little queen's situation is a distorted psychology of deep attachment and possessiveness. She has transformed her familial dependence on Ye Xi into an exclusive sense of ownership, mixed with a high degree of identification with Ye Xi and a protective obsession with her.

On the one hand, there is the symbiotic attachment formed by Ye Xi's long-term indulgence. She has become accustomed to Ye Xi's companionship and tolerance, and subconsciously regards Ye Xi as an exclusive part of her life, making it impossible for her to accept that this intimate relationship is being divided by an outsider.

On the other hand, it is the recognition and admiration for Ye Xi that gives rise to emotional possessiveness, feeling that the outstanding older sister can only belong to his own small circle, and that outsiders are not worthy of her and should not have her.

The fact that her sister married someone else made her feel resentful and uncomfortable that something of hers had been taken away. Essentially, she blurred the boundaries of familial intimacy and treated Ye Xi as her exclusive possession.

Seeing that Liu Hao didn't speak, Ye Juan became a little anxious.

"Master, say something!"
