"I’m not as good as you think; I’m universally acknowledged to have the worst temper."
"The worst temper?" Nan Yuesheng laughed out loud, "You have a bad temper? You’re easy to get along with, I didn’t feel you had a bad temper at all."
"I guess you’re the only one who thinks so." Xu Mohan always knew his temper wasn’t good; he simply couldn’t share a room with others. Frankly, living with her and her daughter for so long and still getting along so well - he hadn’t expected that.
The al took over half an hour. When it ended, Nan Yuesheng was a bit drunk, but only slightly, not so much that she couldn’t clean up the dining table and wash the dishes.
She left so food for Nan Ningyi to eat when she woke up.
Xu Mohan sat in the courtyard drinking tea. She walked over, sat down facing him, and lay her head on the table, her gaze resting on his face, his eyebrows and eyes sharp, a face so perfect it was beyond criticism.
Nan Yuesheng closed her eyes.
"Tired?"
"No."
She sat up straight again and poured herself a cup of tea, downing it in one gulp.
It was after she drank it that she heard him say, "That cup is mine."
Nan Yuesheng looked closely and realized that indeed, she had picked up his cup. The other cup was dry, without any water in it, indicating that no one had used it.
For a mont, the atmosphere beca tense.
Did this count as an indirect kiss with him?
Thinking of this, she hastily put down the cup, stood up in a fluster, and said, "I’m sorry... I’m just going to go lie down in my room for a while."
She practically ran back to her own room, breathing heavily. She patted her chest and thought to herself: Why so nervous? It’s not like we really kissed.
She walked over to her bed, sat down, and it took a good while before she cald down again.
"Ye Ying suddenly died while playing a ga, and her sister Ye Shui, who had never revealed her identity, ca back from abroad to attend the funeral." Gu Lili looked at the content and peered down, "Isn’t that Shuishui?"
"Who’s Shuishui?"
"The woman who’s with Rong Fei; how is she the sister of Ye Ying?" Gu Lili handed over the tablet, "Look, it’s her."
Long Yubei glanced, "She’s not that pretty though."
"Does she look like a Ye Family mber? She doesn’t resemble them at all, I find her odd-looking. Plus, since when did Ye Ying have a sister? Why haven’t we ever heard about her?"
"Maybe she’s Father Ye’s illegitimate daughter?"
Gu Lili nodded, "That’s possible. Otherwise, why hasn’t she been exposed? But this says she’s Ye Ying’s full sister, who knows? Anyway, it’s none of our business. It’s getting late; Grandma must be anxious by now. Let’s go."
"Alright." Long Yubei stood up, and the servants had put the milk bottles, formula, and diapers all in the rear pocket of the baby stroller.
Just as they left the living room, Long Yubei entered through the main door with Liang He. Upon seeing Gu Lili, Long Tianjiao ca running, "Sister-in-law!"
She ran up and hugged Gu Lili, "Seeing you again is really wonderful!"
" too, too. We’re going back to the old house, are you guys coming along?"
"Sure, let’s go, let’s all go together." Long Tianjiao turned to Liang He and said, "Hurry and call my sister. Let’s have a grand reunion tonight."
Everyone was happy to gather together, making a lively and noisy scene.
Liang He did as she said.
Once the group got ho, Old Madam Long was overly excited to see Gu Lili, pulling her by the hand to sit down, "Lili, everyone in our family was so upset about your accident. Now, seeing you again, grandma is truly overjoyed. Grandma has been dreaming about you and has been praying for you. After your accident, Beibei was terribly upset. He loves you so much, and the two kids, poor things, to be so young and already without a mother."
