Chapter 699: Chapter 700 Extra: Borrowing a Pretense to Act Like a Hooligan_1
Muniang raised an eyebrow, finding the girl quite amusing, and laughed, “No hurry, take it slow.” She even purposely winked at Wu Haoli.
Yan Ziyu didn’t understand at first, but Muniang took her hand and said, “Let’s go, we should head inside. What are we doing standing out here? Everyone is inside the house, and today we’re in for a lively ti!”
With Qinghua City now so prosperous, Muniang naturally also held a special status. There were naturally many guests who ca to celebrate the child’s birthday, most of whom were arranged in the outer hall. As for the intimate guests, they were, of course, all in the Fragrant Warm Pavilion.
When Muniang led Wu Haoli and Yan Ziyu inside, Wu Haoli was imdiately startled, “You, you…”
Yu Jin stood up and saluted Wu Haoli with folded hands, “Mr. Wu, I have long heard of you. I am Yu Ze’s younger brother, Yu Jin, you probably have not seen
before.” Then he pulled over Nangong Anan and smiled, “Her na is Qin Anhao, my fiancée.”
Wu Haoli smiled, “So you are Yu Ze’s younger brother, you do look quite alike.” He had heard of Yu Jin before, who was sent to Qilian Kingdom as a Hostage since he was a child and only brought back four years ago.
However, since he was brought back, it was odd, three years ago suddenly there was no news of him, and he didn’t expect that he would suddenly appear before him today, with a fiancée who seed to have popped up out of nowhere?
Qin Anhao was, of course, Nangong Anan’s current pseudonym. Having escaped with Yu Jin from Qilian Kingdom, she adopted a new identity, Qin Anhao, the daughter of a declining noble family, making it harder for others to investigate. They were now engaged, and after celebrating Xiaobai and Xiaohua’s birthdays in Qinghua City, they planned to return to the capital to prepare for their wedding.
Thinking of this, Nangong Anan felt so sweet inside that she thought she might lt.
Wu Haoli did not know about Yu Jin and Nangong Anan’s affair, and Muniang did not plan to tell anyone, as it was not good for too many people to know. After all, Nangong Anan had already begun a new life, what was there to say about the past?
Muniang warmly invited everyone to take their seats, beaming with joy, “Today is indeed a rare occasion, it’s been years since I’ve seen so many familiar faces. It seems our two little troublemakers really do have quite the reputation.”
“Isn’t that the truth? With parents like theirs, where wouldn’t Xiaobai and Xiaohua get face?” Tianniu laughed.
Muniang gave her a playful glare, “Why don’t you hurry up and have one too, to see if your child can have less face than mine!”
Color rose to Tianniu’s cheeks as she retorted sowhat annoyed, “Mu, why are you teasing
again? There are so many people here!”
Everyone laughed heartily, but Zhao Jiangshui seriously tugged gently at Tianniu’s sleeve, leaned in and whispered so only the two of them could hear, “When will you have kids for ?”
Tianniu imdiately beca shy, her voice strained, “You, you figure it out.” And with that, her face grew even redder.
Zhao Jiangshui smiled, gently squeezing her hand.
Mrs. Lin and Zhao Song’s family, of course, also ca, with Zhao Jianghe bringing his wife and three children, filling a whole large table.
Mrs. Lin teased with a laugh, “In a few more years, if we gather again, I’m afraid this table might not be big enough, who knows how many children there will be.”
Muniang humd, “Then let those little brats eat at the side table!”
Xiaobai and Xiaohua: “…” We feel the chilling malice from our own mother, mom, what about the promised maternal love?
Yan Ziyu felt the atmosphere was strangely awkward. Everyone at the table was in pairs! In a few years when they gather again, it will be a table full of descendants; but who will she have a table full of descendants with?!
Yan Ziyu stiffly turned her head to glance at Wu Haoli, only to find him looking at her. Her face flushed, and she quickly buried her head in her rice.
Muniang spoke wistfully, “Such is fate; it would be a pity to miss it. At this point, beating around the bush makes no sense. In a few years when we all arrive with our families in tow, it would be embarrassing for soone to still be a bachelor.”
With those words, Wu Haoli clearly understood they were aid at him!
Yu Jin had a fiancée, Zhao Jiangshui had a fiancée, Zhao Jianghe had a fiancée, Zhao Song had a fiancée, Zeng Gang had a fiancée, and even Yu Ze had a fiancée!
Wu Haoli calmly drank a cup of wine, his tone oozing with self-confidence, “You need not worry about .”
Muniang gave Yu Ze a suggestive wink, as if the matter were all but settled.
Yan Ziyu was puzzled, why did she feel like she had been inexplicably sold off?
As everyone mingled and chatted, the mood was exceptionally joyful, especially with Xiaobai and Xiaohua, the two charrs, adding to the fun. The laughter and conversation were unending.
Only when the sky darkened did everyone start to disperse.
Wu Haoli and Yan Ziyu sat in the carriage, both silent. Yan Ziyu was extrely nervous inside, her heart pounding like a frightened deer. Thankfully, it was dark, otherwise it would have been obvious how red her face was!
Wu Haoli was the first to break the silence, “Why aren’t you speaking?”
“I, I, why should I speak?” Darn it, she was too nervous; what nonsense was she spouting? Yan Ziyu was still internally chiding herself when Wu Haoli didn’t dwell on the issue but simply said.
“In a few days, I’ll personally take you ho.”
Yan Ziyu felt a wave of dejection in her heart. In the end, he still found her burdenso and wanted to get rid of her.
She pouted angrily, “No need for you to take , I can go back by myself!”
Wu Haoli insisted, “I’ll take you. I happen to have so errands to run anyway.”
“What for?”
“To propose.”
Yan Ziyu nearly choked to death on her own saliva, “Propose, propose, propose?”
“You don’t want to?”
Yan Ziyu’s face imdiately turned red as can be, looking like it was about to bleed, stamring without knowing what to say.
Wu Haoli said, “It’s fine if you don’t want to, I’ll make sure your parents agree anyway. You’ll have to marry
in the end.”
Haha, what an attentive thing to say!
Yan Ziyu gritted her teeth and said, “Wu Haoli, you’re shaless!”
Wu Haoli blinked innocently, “What’s the point of being shaless? Can it get you a wife?”
Yan Ziyu turned her back on him, her cheeks puffing up in anger, yet her heart was thumping nonstop. She was almost on the verge of saying, “I’m willing!” But since he had said it for her, she might as well grudgingly give her silent consent. Thinking this, Yan Ziyu couldn’t help but secretly smile.
Wu Haoli leaned back lazily in the carriage, hooking up the corner of his lips. In his lifeti, having this sunny little woman to light up his darkness might be the greatest gift the heavens had given him.
Night had fallen, and the celebration of the two treasures’ birthdays had worn Muniang out. Having finally seen off all the guests and coaxed the two treasures to sleep, Muniang stretched and walked out into the courtyard.
Under a thick, sturdy tree hung a large swing. Muniang sat down on it and leaned her head against the ropes, gazing at the crescent moon in the night sky, and feeling joyful about the rare get-together; a soft smile spread across her face.
When Yu Ze arrived, he saw such a scene. Muniang, dressed in a light yellow gauze skirt, sat lazily on the swing, her dress spilling onto the ground, covering the flowers and plants. Her twinkling eyes glowed with tenderness against the backdrop of the faint moonlight. Even her lovely face appeared more ethereal under the shallow light.
For a mont, Yu Ze was captivated until Muniang turned her head and asked with a smile, “Why are you standing there like a fool?”
Yu Ze strode over and sat next to Muniang on the swing, his large hand wrapping around her slender waist, pulling her small fra into his embrace. “I’m enjoying your silly smile.”
Muniang retorted without amusent, “Who’s smiling like a fool? I’m thinking of sothing!”
Yu Ze’s gaze suddenly turned stern, “Thinking of Wu Haoli?”
Muniang laughed and scolded, “You jealous pot! Didn’t you see he’s already got a girl he likes? I was thinking, it wasn’t easy to co this far and have such an opportunity to gather, this feeling, it’s really good.”
Yu Ze rubbed Muniang’s forehead gently, “I find everything wonderful with you by my side.”
Muniang chuckled, “My dear.”
Muniang heaved a long sigh, “After this gathering, everyone will go their separate ways again, and who knows when the next eting will be. But seeing them all well, no matter where they are, makes
happy.”
“Indeed, after this parting, it might be years before we see each other again.”
Muniang laughed, “I’ve hit the nail on the head. Next ti we all get together again, we probably won’t all fit at one table. There’ll be a bunch of kids by then!”
Yu Ze’s eyes twinkled, and he lifted Muniang in one swoop, prompting her to exclaim, “What are you doing!”
Yu Ze grinned, “They’ll have a bunch of kids, and we can’t be outdone, can we? We need to redouble our efforts so we won’t be left behind when the ti cos! Wife, let’s go make a baby!”
Muniang laughed and scolded, “You and your ill manners! Stop using that as an excuse to be a hooligan!”
Caught in his little sche, Yu Ze didn’t blush but said with utter shalessness, “Can’t I be a hooligan with my own wife?”
With that, he bent down to cover Muniang’s protesting lips, then with a light leap, carried her into the room, slamming the door shut with a bang.
A room of bliss, a lifeti of waiting, the story ends, but the happiness continues.
