Chapter 507: 507. Talk about who conquers and who gets conquered
Wen Ran returned to the lakeside with the two children, and the grilled meat feast continued with a lively atmosphere.
Old Mu asked with a smile, “Where are those two enemies? Why haven’t they come over?”
Ji Xiaoshu spoke out loudly, “Miss Yan went to settle accounts with Uncle Sheng about him assaulting her, Uncle Sheng said she could assault him back, and the two adults closed the door, not knowing what they were going to do. Aunt Ran didn’t let us watch!”
Wen Ran sighed, knowing that everyone would surely understand what Yan Shiba was doing right now.
The old people shook their heads, thinking that Yan was really too reckless with no memory whatsoever, actually taking the initiative to deliver herself, really! It was a bargain for that smelly brat Sheng Yue!
The younger people just smiled without saying a word. After these two days of Yan’s multiple moves and everyone’s understanding of her, this kind of incident was not surprising, and they felt it was in Yan’s character to directly pounce on Sheng – a long time ago, she had taught Su Liang how to tackle Gu Ling the same way.
Cheng Yun handed Wen Ran a golden-roasted grilled fish, grumbling, “These two are sick, very sick!”
Wen Ran couldn’t help but laugh, “Isn’t that a perfect match?”
Zhengzheng also got a grilled fish, and Ji Xiaoshu stared at it while gnawing on a rabbit leg. With Gu Ling’s back to him, Zhengzheng wanted to share a bite with Ji Xiaoshu, but he dodged away, “No, I made a mistake today, and I have to accept the punishment.”
With greasy lips, Ale looked sympathetically at Ji Xiaoshu, “Poor Brother Xiaoshu, come home with us today, we also have fish, we’ll roast it and eat it!”
Ji Xiaoshu grinned, “I’ll do it another day. I can endure.”
Axin gave a thumbs up, expressing admiration. Not just because of the grilled fish, but also for Ji Xiaoshu pushing Yan into the water – he thought Ji Xiaoshu had guts, not fearing a beating.
“Big brother! Big brother!” Gu Xiaonuan ran over, opened her small fist, and there were four candies inside.
Each of the four brothers took one, and then Gu Xiaonuan ran to Su Liang’s side to get new candies to share with the others.
“Next time we should bring Little Yueyue to play with Sister Nuannuan,” said Axin.
“Sure, let’s go to Grandpa Lin’s house sometime and introduce you to our two junior brothers,” Zhengzheng laughed and said.
Ale asked, “Brother Xiaoshu, I think grilled meat is delicious, so can we forgive Uncle Sheng?”
Because of Sheng Yue’s rescue today, the twins’ opinions of him had changed a lot, thinking he was not a bad person. Their impressions were also influenced by the attitude of Su Mansion’s residents towards Sheng Yue.
Ji Xiaoshu nodded, “Well, as promised, he has apologized, so let the past be the past! In the future, if you want to learn his swordsmanship, just find him, he will be happy to teach you!”
“His swordsmanship is really good!” said Zhengzheng.
Axin nodded, “We’ll go back and talk to our mother, she will definitely agree.”
They finished eating the grilled meat by noon, and Gu Ling and Su Liang cooked sour soup noodles with plenty of green vegetables, which was refreshing and appetizing.
Axin and Ale took a nap together in Zhengzheng and Ji Xiaoshu’s room, and played for a while before falling asleep.
When the children woke up, washed their faces, and ran downstairs, they saw Nangong Qian wiping the vases on the first floor. Ji Xiaoshu asked her, “Aunt Qianqian, have you seen Miss Yan?”
Nangong Qian shook her head with a gentle smile, “No, Aunt Ran said she’s still with Mr. Sheng.”
Ji Xiaoshu looked puzzled, “Just a simple kiss, does it need to take this long? Could something have happened?”
The children were about to run outside when Nangong Qian quickly stopped them, “No need to go, they...maybe they haven’t finished talking yet. Don’t go over there.”
Zhengzheng and Axin nodded while Ale felt puzzled and pulled Ji Xiaoshu with him.
Ji Xiaoshu let out a hehe laughter, “Let’s go listen to what they’re talking about!”
Nangong Qian sighed with relief when she saw Cheng Yun and Weng Ran arrive. She knew what Sheng Yue and Yan Shiba were up to, but she couldn’t let the children go over there.
“Auntie Ran, what’s Auntie Yan doing with Sheng Yue? She’s not being taken advantage of, is she?” Ji Xiaoshu asked.
Weng Ran’s expression remained calm, “No, in our family, Sheng Yue wouldn’t dare to take advantage of her.” Unless she offered herself up… At this point, they couldn’t do anything about it anyway.
“Xiaoshu,” Su Liang called from upstairs, “You all come up.” N/nêw n0vel chap/ers are published o/n n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m
“Our master wants us!” Before Ji Xiaoshu could finish her sentence, the four children raced up the stairs again.
Yan Shiba was startled and turned back to see Sheng Yue. She instinctively wanted to run away, but after taking two steps, she realized her reaction was too intense and stopped. She pulled Wen Ran to her side, hugged her arm, and said unhappily to Sheng Yue, “None of your damn business! Be careful of being struck by lightning for eavesdropping on other people’s conversations!”
Compared to Yan Shiba’s undisguised fatigue, Sheng Yue looked refreshed. Today’s “competition” had an obvious outcome.
“I also hope for a child,” Sheng Yue said, looking at Yan Shiba.
Yan Shiba turned her head and walked away, “If you want one, go give birth yourself!”
Wen Ran couldn’t help but laugh, what a pair of enemies indeed.
Before entering the Yuanming Pavilion, Wen Ran reminded Yan Shiba that the children might ask her some questions, so she should be careful with her words.
As expected, at the dinner table, Ji Xiaoshu asked Yan Shiba if she and Sheng Yue had made up after disappearing for so long today.
Yan Shiba nodded seriously, “He apologized to me, and I, being magnanimous, decided to accept.”
Ji Xiaoshu was surprised and looked at Sheng Yue.
Sheng Yue nodded, “She’s right, everything she said.”
Su Liang: ... It seems that they have really reached a great harmony in some aspects, and Sheng Yue is also very capable. As for Yan Shiba, she didn’t have any brains when facing Sheng Yue from the beginning, but there was nothing wrong with that. It’s a case of one willing to hit and the other willing to endure.
Su Liang knew that Sheng Yue didn’t like Yan Shiba, but she didn’t stop Yan Shiba from messing around because she understood what kind of person he was. He seemed like someone who wouldn’t have any interest in any woman on his own. So even though Yan Shiba took the initiative, everyone still felt that Sheng Yue was passive, but Su Liang felt that Sheng Yue also enjoyed it... Just as Gu Ling said, he’s a normal man.
For these two people who, in Cheng Yun’s words, “have a serious illness”, who can say that starting a relationship in this way isn’t the most suitable for them?
Ji Xiaoshu sighed, “Uncle Sheng and Aunt Yan’s progress is so fast! It seems I’ve succeeded in matchmaking again! You two better prepare big red envelopes for me and Senior Brother!”
Sheng Yue nodded, “No problem.”
“You’re acting as if you have money,” Yan Shiba mocked.
Sheng Yue looked at Cheng Yun, “I’ll borrow it from my brother, he’s rich.”
Cheng Yun: ...Forget it, I’m too lazy to argue, I can’t win against him anyway.
After dinner, Yan Shiba dragged Su Liang upstairs.
Closing the door, Su Liang asked Yan Shiba what she wanted. Yan Shiba mysteriously said, “Borrow a book.”
Su Liang found it incredible. People in the mansion, young and old, often asked her to borrow books, but Yan Shiba was the least interested in reading.
“What do you want to read?” Su Liang inquired, puzzled. Why did she suddenly want to read a book late at night?
“That one.” Yan Shiba winked.
Su Liang looked perplexed, “Which one?”
“Hey, what are you pretending? You must have it! It’s that one!” Yan Shiba blew Su Liang a flying kiss.
Su Liang finally reacted and silently looked at Yan Shiba, shaking her head, “I really don’t have it. I used to, but later I was afraid the children would find it if they flipped through it carelessly, so I got rid of it.” She had come to borrow an erotic painting, which had her smirking.
“I’ll go out and look for it, then,” Yan Shiba said. “I don’t believe I can’t take him down!” This confession meant she had lost again today...
After Yan Shiba left, Gu Ling entered the room and asked Su Liang what she had come for.
After hearing what Su Liang said, Gu Ling said calmly, “Actually, I have a treasured one.”
Su Liang held her forehead, “Great God, please stop, I don’t need to know.”
Late at night, Zhu Zan was preparing to go to bed, when he suddenly heard a noise outside. He walked to the window, and before he could open it, he heard the sound of the door opening next door, followed by Yan Shiba’s clear voice, “Scumbag, let’s go for another 300 rounds!”
Zhu Zan silently put his coat back on, opened the door gently, and saw Feng Ming coming out of his room as well. The two exchanged a glance and went to the garden to drink together.
After finishing a pot of alcohol, Zhu Zan yawned, and Feng Ming got up, “Don’t go back, it won’t disturb their elegant interest, but it’s hard for us to sleep. Let’s go, Zhengzheng’s mansion is almost ready, otherwise, we’ll have to stay at the inn.”
As they left Su Mansion, Zhu Zan sighed, “I never thought that Mr. Sheng would end up with Miss Yan.”
Feng Ming chuckled, “Do you envy him?”
Zhu Zan shook his head, “I sincerely envy you, but I don’t envy Mr. Sheng. Miss Yan’s temperament is not something ordinary people can handle.”
