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.”
“Our master wants us!” Before Ji Xiaoshu could finish her sentence, the four children raced up the stairs again.
Weng Ran and Nangong Qian exchanged glances and both laughed.
“Sister Yan is really a heroic woman,” Nangong Qian whispered. If it were her, her grandfather would tear her apart for doing such a thing.
Weng Ran shrugged, “As long as she’s happy.”
Nangong Qian whispered, “But if she regrets it afterwards…there’s no turning back.”
Weng Ran shook her head, “She’s not the kind of person who would care about that.” Yan Shiba’s fuss about Sheng Yue’s offense was only to save face, not because she felt she had lost her innocence or reputation. She had always been unconventional and didn’t care what others thought. If she valued chastity too much, she wouldn’t be Yan Shiba. Of course, she and Sheng Yue had originally agreed to get married, so no matter the reason, they were considered legitimate. It couldn’t be said to be too wild…
The reason Weng Ran didn’t stop them and wasn’t worried was that she saw how Sheng Yue had changed. She knew very well that in this family, there might be amicable parting, but irresponsible behavior wouldn’t be tolerated. The way Yan Shiba and Sheng Yue viewed “responsibility” might be different from others, but they understood each other, knew what they were doing, and were well aware of what behaviors Gu Ling and Su Liang couldn’t tolerate. Sheng Yue, being the savvy person he was, would definitely abide by the rules of this family if he chose to stay.
Thanks to Su Liang’s intervention, the children didn’t go looking for Yan Shiba and Sheng Yue.
After playing for a long time, Feng Ming sent Axin and Ale home.
Weng Ran returned to her courtyard with Yan Shiba and waited a while before she came back, holding her waist as she walked in.
Even though Weng Ran already knew what had happened, she was still speechless seeing Yan Shiba’s disheveled hair and flushed face.
Yan Shiba noticed Weng Ran and let go of her waist while giving a slight cough, “Why didn’t you go flirting with Brother Yun during the day? What are you doing here?”
Weng Ran pulled Yan Shiba into the room, closed the door and windows, and poured her a cup of warm water.
Yan Shiba drank it all in one gulp, “I’m so hungry!”
“You still know you’re hungry?” Weng Ran teased, “You two are just…”
Knowing that the matter couldn’t be hidden, Yan Shiba simply admitted, “What’s wrong with declaring love in broad daylight? As if you and Cheng Yun won’t do it in the future!”
Weng Ran, although open-minded and knowledgeable about many things, hadn’t gotten married yet. Upon hearing Yan Shiba’s words, she immediately blushed and glared at her, “Stop talking nonsense! Are you very proud of yourself?”
Having done it, Yan Shiba naturally couldn’t say she couldn’t do it. She snorted and replied, “Doing pleasurable things makes one happy. If you’re envious, go find Cheng…”
Weng Ran wanted to hit Yan Shiba’s forehead with the teapot in her hand. She was already bold before, and now, her face had become thicker than a city wall.
However, Yan Shiba herself couldn’t help but want to scold Sheng Yue. She couldn’t hold back any longer and, while asking Weng Ran to massage her back, she grumbled, “That jerk…”
Weng Ran reminded Yan Shiba that they had agreed not to call Sheng Yue a jerk anymore.
“I don’t care, I’m just going to call him a scumbag!” Yan Shiba said indignantly, “With just a hook of my finger, he’s like a beast! I took the initiative, so of course, I can’t back down! He’s really too cheap, claiming he’s never been with another woman, I don’t believe it! Next time, I’ll beat him until he tells the truth!”
Wen Ran couldn’t listen any longer and poured another glass of water to shut Yan Shiba’s mouth up.
After drinking, Yan Shiba sighed, “There are some things, if you haven’t done them, you just don’t understand, you need to do them to know the taste.”
Wen Ran said in a deep tone, “Didn’t you go to conquer Sheng Yue? Don’t tell me you were the one begging for mercy.”
Yan Shiba’s eyes flickered, “How could that be? Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand! You’ll know when you get married!”
Wen Ran asked, “So it seems you two have really reconciled. Do you think it’s not bad being with him?”
“Two different things. I still hate him, but his face is okay, his body is not bad, and I’ll make do with it for now!” Yan Shiba said calmly.
Wen Ran: …Whoever conquered who, she gave in, completely speechless…
After Yan Shiba took a bath, changed into fresh clothes, and was walking to the Yuanming Pavilion with Wen Ran for dinner, she suddenly laughed, “Hey! There’s another good thing I haven’t thought of before!”
Wen Ran asked what the good thing was.
Yan Shiba smirked and rubbed her belly, “After doing that kind of thing, I can have my own baby! Haha! I really want to be a mom, or I’ll be so envious when I see you all having kids later. I’ve decided that once I get pregnant, I’ll kick Sheng Yue out and let him go!”
Wen Ran looked at Yan Shiba’s “I’m so clever” expression and seriously sighed, “You’re being irresponsible to the child.”
Yan Shiba coughed lightly and lowered her voice, “I just want him to beg me, get it? When I kick him out of the house, he’ll beg me for mercy on his knees, and the scene is just so satisfying when I think about it!”
Wen Ran wanted to roll her eyes, “Aren’t you afraid he’ll really run away?”
Yan Shiba shook her head, “I’m not afraid of ghosts! If he really runs away, that’ll fulfill my wish, and I won’t have to worry about you guys accusing me of causing the child not to have a father by throwing tantrums. It’s him who wants to go, I’m more than happy!”
As soon as her voice fell, a familiar voice came from a short distance behind her, “What child?”
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.”
