Chapter 21 - Killing Chickens

Chapter 21 Killing Chickens

The sudden arrival of the bride’s family and friends caused quite a commotion.

Bai Yihe berated in a low voice, “An Er! Watch your language!”

“I take good care of myself, can’t I?” Shadow was afraid Qu Yao would get angry. Even if he wanted to punch An Er to death, he would have to wait until the night is over.

He changed the topic. “Today is my daughter’s wedding. On a day like this, I’ll give her the world’s largest fireworks display.”.

He pointed back at the 100-meter-long line and said, “These are the dowries I prepared for Yao Yao! In the future, if I find out that someone dares to bully our family’s Yao Yao, I’ll kill him…hmm…the whole family.”

Qu Yao covered Shadow’s mouth and stopped his passionate speech.

“Kill him for what?” Bai Yihe asked with a smile.

Qu Yao smiled awkwardly. “Kill his family’s… chickens! Yes, kill chickens. My father likes to kill chickens when he has nothing better to

do.”

Shadow and the guests fell silent. Bai Yihe politely invited, “Since you’re Yao Yao’s father, you’ll be my father from now on.” He instructed An Er, “Find someone to arrange for father to sit at the front.”

“Yes.”

Bai Yihe toasted Shadow in front of everyone. “Today is Yao Yao’s and my wedding day. Thank you, father, for taking care of her.” Histone was different from usual. There was less gentleness and more certainty, there was even a hint of provocation.

“From now on, leave Yao Yao to me. After tonight, I won’t have to trouble father to take care of her.”

What he meant was to put aside the relationship between Qu Yao and Shadow. How could Shadow not hear it? Unfortunately, Qu Yao was by his side. Shadow could only hold back the anger in his heart.

Before drinking, Shadow stared at Bai Yihe with a fierce gaze. His eyes revealed a phrase, “Just you wait!”

Bai Yihe gently accepted and returned the gaze, “Just you wait.”

Qu Yao did not plan to drink that night, but Bai Yihe kept pulling her to toast the guests, and she was already starting to feel dizzy.

Shadow and Faceless Ghost lingered around her, asking from time to time, “Yao Yao, do you want me to drink on behalf of you?”

“No need!”

Qu Yao thought to herself, no one can make me drunk! Bai Yihe had also drunk so much wine, why didn’t he sway when he walked? Was it because he was blind?

Unfortunately, she really couldn’t drink anymore. Why was the wine so strong tonight? She had only drunk a little, but her feet had already gone soft.

She managed to avoid everyone’s gaze with great difficulty, holding the wine pot and swaying to the side of the pool in the south courtyard alone. She leaned against the pillar of the pavilion, her red skirt swaying with the wind, and the stars in the sky were brighter than usual.

“It would be great if it could continue like this,” she muttered to herself.

“The days will definitely move forward. No one can live a lifetime at a certain moment and time.” A cold voice interrupted her thoughts. “Why are you hiding here alone?”

Qu Yao saw Bai Yihe and the blind staff walking towards her. She asked curiously, “How did you know I was here?”

He gave a faint smile and the corners of his mouth curled up. His eyes reflected the bright moonlight in the darkness, and the blind staff hit the ground, making a crisp sound.

“You forgot that this is my courtyard, and my people are everywhere. Wouldn’t it be easy to know where you are?”.

That was true, but Bai Yihe was pretty good at walking to the pond by himself. Sometimes Qu Yao really wondered if he was blind.

“Little blind man!” Qu Yao asked Bai Yihe, who was approaching, “Is day and night the same to you?”

Bai Yihe was silent.

He stood beside Qu Yao and took the initiative to pull Qu Yao’s sleeve coquettishly. “It’s already very late. The guests have all dispersed. Take me back to my room to sleep.”

She looked into Bai Yihe’s eyes and coaxed him like a child, “Okay, I’ll take you back.”
