Chapter 43: Shabu Shabu

Chapter 43

"Mother, father has just passed away, and I have to learn the family business, so I don't plan on starting a family for now," said Bai Yunhan.

Lady Bai was still patiently persuading him, "Yunhan, if your father was still alive, he would also hope that you expand the Bai family tree as soon as possible! You can get to know these young ladies now, and once the mourning period is over, you should marry as soon as possible."

Bai Yunhan stood up, "Mother, I already promised you I will properly manage the Bai family business. Can you stop pressing me? I don't want to get married for now!"

Lady Bai was angered by Bai Yunhan's attitude.

"What do you mean I'm pressing you? Men should marry and women should marry out, this is the natural order of things! You don't want to get married? What if I arrange for you to marry Sang Li?!" shouted Lady Bai.

Bai Yunhan was stunned into silence for a moment.

"Hmph! I knew it, you have feelings for that girl. Yunhan, I will never allow you to be with her! You need to get over her as soon as possible!"

Bai Yunhan didn't say anything and directly left the pavilion.

Lady Bai was so angry that she smashed the teacup on the ground.

Now that she was the head of the Bai household, everyone should listen to her!

Bai Yunhan returned to his room feeling a bit distracted, but found Bai Yunxin waiting for him inside.

"Brother, you're finally back!" said Bai Yunxin with red-rimmed eyes, clearly from crying earlier.

"Yunxin? What happened?"

"Brother!" Bai Yunxin walked over to Bai Yunhan and knelt down before him.

Bai Yunhan was shocked by her actions and immediately went to help her stand up, "What are you doing? Get up quickly!"

But Bai Yunxin shook off his hands and started crying, "Brother, please don't throw me and my mother out!"

"Who said we're throwing you out?" asked a puzzled Bai Yunhan.

"The Lady wants me and my mother sent to Jing'an Temple!" cried Bai Yunxin.

"Why?"

"It's my fault, I believed Li Wenxuan's sweet words and gave myself to him, but he refuses to marry me!" said Bai Yunxin with her head lowered, crying bitterly.

"What did you just say?" Bai Yunhan was clearly very shocked.

Bai Yunxin had gone to find Li Wenxuan this afternoon, but not only did Li Wenxuan say he wouldn't marry her, he also hurt her with cruel words!

If Li Wenxuan didn't marry her, she and her mother would be kicked out of the Bai household, and she would never be able to marry out after this!

"I know what I did was wrong, I really know it was wrong now. Please help me, brother!" Bai Yunxin immediately grabbed Bai Yunhan's arm.

After the initial assault on his taste buds earlier, Wu Ying's reaction was not as dramatic when eating the tofu this time. In fact, he even found the taste quite good and made him want to eat more and more.

"How about it?"

"Delicious," said Wu Ying with an upturned lip.

"There will be many more different delicious food for you to try when you're by my side!" beamed Su Mo.

Wu Ying's gaze softened as he looked at her. Will he really be able to stay by her side? He wished so too, but he didn't know if he could make it happen.

Ever since getting to know her, his whole world seemed to have changed. Being with someone you have feelings for can be so blissful after all.

"Mo," Wu Ying suddenly called her name.

"Yes? What's up?" Su Mo cooked another tender slice of beef and put it in his bowl.

Wu Ying looked at the meat in the bowl then back up at her, "Thank you."

"Aiyo, must you two be so mushy?" teased Xiao Han.

Xia Miaomiao and Sang Li beside him couldn't help but laugh too.

Su Mo glanced at Wu Ying and winked at him playfully, "If not for the fact that I just ate hot pot, I would really want to kiss you!"

"......"

Well, he still wasn't completely immune to her forthrightness after all.

"Come on, let's drink up!" Sang Li poured wine for everyone.

They each picked up their cup of wine.

"Hope we can... return home soon!" said Sang Li meaningfully.

Su Mo looked at Wu Ying beside her. If she really did go back, what would happen to Wu Ying? Ah, why think so much about what hasn't happened!

"Cheers! Hope we strike gold here!" said Su Mo.

"Cheers! May we four sisters never be separated!" said Xia Miaomiao.

"Cheers! May we never get imprisoned again!" laughed Xiao Han.

"Hahahahaha!"

Hearing Xiao Han's words, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Wu Ying's gaze remained fixed on Su Mo the whole time, watching her laugh put him in good spirits too. So a normal person's life could be this blissful. Being with someone you have feelings for could be this blissful.

While the group was making merry noises in the yard, a pair of eyes stared intently at them from the shadows not far away.
