Chapter 582: Chapter 533: Lifeti Event_1 Chapter 582: Chapter 533: Lifeti Event_1 The parade of flower-laden carts had already begun, and Xiao Yeyang, accompanied by Daohua and Dong Yuanyao, had just returned to the restaurant area when Sun Changze, who had been injured, went back to his family’s residence in the provincial capital.
“Where are the others?”
Seeing that only Yan Wentao, Yan Yishuang, Yang Xiujun, and Li Zixin were left in the restaurant, Daohua couldn’t help but ask in surprise.
Yan Wentao smiled and said, “They went down to look for you, didn’t they? How co you didn’t run into them?”
Daohua shook her head. “Nope,” she said, and, pulling Dong Yuanyao along, sat down at a table by the window.
Noticing Dong Yuanyao was sowhat distracted, Daohua thought for a mont and then said, “The doctor said Sun Changze would be fine, so you don’t need to worry anymore.”
Dong Yuanyao nodded absently, her enthusiasm waning as she leaned against the window sill and watched the slowly moving parade floats on the street.
Seeing her like this, Daohua decided it was better not to say anything more.
After a while, Dong Yuanyao suddenly sat up straight and whispered to Daohua, “Yiyi, this is the second ti Sun Changze has saved .”
Daohua’s heart skipped a beat, and she forced a laugh, “Isn’t it all just coincidence?”
Dong Yuanyao: “Do you think it’s a coincidence?”
Daohua: “…It is a coincidence! If you feel bad about him getting injured, when Brother Dong cos back later, we can have him prepare more dicinal ingredients and gifts to send over.”
Dong Yuanyao frowned and muttered to herself, “Just a coincidence?” Then she laid back down on the window sill.
Seeing her like this, Daohua felt a headache coming on. She wanted to say sothing, but she couldn’t even sort out her own feelings, how could she possibly unravel soone else’s emotional entanglent? Best not to make things even more confusing.
Fortunately, at that mont, Yan Wenkai returned with Su Shiyu.
Daohua stood up, intending to wave to the two of them downstairs, but when she saw them holding hands, she froze in place with her hand raised.
Dong Yuanyao, puzzled, followed her gaze and also noticed the intimacy between Yan Wenkai and Su Shiyu, especially the shy look in Su Shiyu’s eyes. Automatically, she patted Daohua: “Yiyi, what’s going on here?”
Daohua shook her head blankly, and after a mont of silence, she sighed, “My fourth brother is definitely an expert.” Just look, Su Sister was still a bit reserved while eating glutinous rice dumplings just now, and in no ti at all, she allowed my fourth brother to hold her hand.
While the two were marveling, Yang Xiujun also noticed that Yan Wenkai and Su Shiyu had co back hand in hand, causing the embroidered handkerchief in her hand to beco a tangled ss.
Soon after, Su Shiyu and Yan Wentao ca upstairs.
Seeing that everyone was looking at them with strange gazes, Su Shiyu felt a bit embarrassed, while Yan Wenkai, thick-skinned as he was, greeted everyone with ease and a cheerful smile.
Xiao Yeyang and Yan Wentao both looked at Yan Wenkai with so envy.
This guy, although a bit simple-minded, was certainly the most carefree among them. When faced with the girl they liked, had they ever been as unrestrained as him?
Who wasn’t being cautious, hiding their feelings for fear of their elders’ disapproval, to the point where they couldn’t see their beloved any longer?
Seeing the exuberant Yan Wenkai, Xiao Yeyang couldn’t help feeling jealous.
anwhile, Su Shiyu walked over and sat down beside Daohua and Dong Yuanyao, looking a little embarrassed.
Just as Dong Yuanyao was about to tease Su Shiyu, Yang Xiujun spoke up: “Cousin Wenkai is so nice, he really protects Sister Su like his own little sister. When I first arrived at the Yan Family, Cousin Wenkai also took great care of .”
Daohua, Dong Yuanyao, and Su Shiyu all turned to look at Yang Xiujun.
Sizing up Yang Xiujun’s forced smile, Su Shiyu recalled the older girl’s behavior from earlier during the dumpling al, and with a slight shift in her expression, she imdiately said with a smile, “Fourth Brother Yan is indeed very kind, not just him; Brother Dong, Big Brother Yan, and Third Brother Yan are all wonderful.”
Daohua glanced at Yang Xiujun and said indifferently, “Cousin Xiujun, as a guest from far away, it was only right for my fourth brother to show hospitality as the host. It really isn’t sothing worth ntioning so much praise.”
Yang Xiujun felt sowhat stiff as she noticed all of Daohua’s words implied that she was rely a guest of the Yan Family.
Without paying her much attention, Daohua smiled at Su Shiyu, “My fourth brother is seldom at ho, and even when he is, he mostly stays in the front yard.” This statent essentially denied what Yang Xiujun had just said about Yan Wenkai taking care of her in every way.
Su Shiyu smiled and nodded without saying anything.
Shortly after, Yan Wenxiu, Dong Yuanxuan, and others returned as well.
Yan Wenkai spoke loudly, “Big brother, you’ve finally co back. If you were any later, even the flower parade would have been out of sight.”
Yan Wenxiu looked around at those present, and seeing that everyone had returned, he smiled and sat down next to Xiao Yeyang, “If we missed it, then so be it. It’s not like we won’t have another chance in the future.”
Afterward, the group gathered and chatted for a while. When the hustle and bustle of the street gradually subsided, they prepared to return to their respective residences.
As Su Shiyu was getting into the carriage, Yan Wenkai hurried over, personally helped her up, and cautioned Su Hongxin, “Hongxin, the streets are still quite crowded, take your ti when going back and take good care of Sister Su.”
His attentive and careful deanor drew frequent glances from the crowd.
Seeing Yan Wenkai stretching his neck as if he wished he could follow, Xiao Yeyang was sowhat speechless and patted his shoulder, “Enough already, don’t make it endless.”
Dong Yuanxuan also tactfully added, “We know you care about Sister Su, but try not to make it too obvious. It’s fine in front of us, but if those gossipmongers see it, it will give rise to unnecessary trouble.”
After being chided twice, Yan Wenkai wore an innocent look, “What did I do?”
Xiao Yeyang was amused, “What more could you want to do?” Holding hands was already a bold move, he himself wouldn’t dare to openly hold Daohua’s hand, only managing to steal a hold in private monts.
Yan Wenxiu and Daohua both felt a bit of a headache on the side.
After seeing Dong Yuanxuan and Dong Yuanyao off, Yan Wenxiu also left with his siblings and the Li siblings.
On the way back, Yan Wenxiu privately spoke to Yan Wenkai, “Fourth brother, in the future, don’t always linger around Sister Su. It’s not good for you or for her.”
Yan Wentao interjected, “A young lady’s reputation is very important.”
Yan Wenxiu nodded, “People who know you well understand that you’re close, but outsiders might think your behavior improper, and they will talk.”
Yan Wenkai looked at the two and, seeing both were serious, he fell into rare solemnity and pondered for a mont. Feeling they made sense, he tilted his head and asked, “Then how can we stop people from talking?”
Yan Wenxiu imdiately responded, “Naturally, by properly restraining one’s own words and actions.”
Yan Wenkai, unsatisfied upon hearing this, thought that seeing Sister Su was rare enough, and now was being told that he couldn’t even chat with her more when he did see her—wasn’t that tornting?
Yan Wentao glanced at Yan Wenkai and said offhandedly, “For those who are betrothed, even if they’re a bit more intimate in their behavior, others won’t have much to say about it.”
Upon hearing this, Yan Wenkai’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Seeing that he remained quiet, Yan Wenxiu couldn’t help but ask, “Did you take to heart what we told you?”
Yan Wenkai replied perfunctorily, “I did. Don’t worry, I wouldn’t let Sister Su’s reputation suffer.”
Yan Wenxiu was a bit surprised to see him so agreeable.
Knowing Yan Wenkai’s temperant, Yan Wentao saw him stroking his chin in thought and asked, “Fourth brother, what are you pondering?”
Yan Wenkai: “…I’m considering the matter of my lifeti.”
At that, both Yan Wenxiu and Yan Wentao were surprised and their eyes widened.
