Chapter 471 Lantern Festival

"It's not that I don't like her. Heng Tao is very smart and clever, and she doesn't have the arrogance of a young lady from a wealthy family. It's just that she is not very talented, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for Xiao Shitou and her to achieve a happy ending." Lan Cang said it very tactfully.

Sang Luo looked towards the door and said, "Xiao Shitou seems to like this girl very much. I think she's okay too. However, the gap in talent is indeed a chasm that is difficult to make up for later..." In the future, the height of life, lifespan, etc., it is destined that the two of them will find it difficult to advance and retreat together.

She paused and looked back at Lan Cang, suppressing the bitterness in her heart. She bent down and kissed his face, smiling softly, "As long as the child likes it, that's all. No matter what happens in the future, at least he hasn't regretted it."

How could Lan Cang not understand her thoughts and worries? He put one hand around her slender and soft waist, and she sat in his arms. With his other long and broad hand, he gently smoothed her unconscious frown. "Finding a lifelong partner is also a compulsory course for them on their growth path. I won't stop you, child."

"But! There's no need to rush into an engagement. Let the two of them spend more time together and see if they are really suitable for each other!" Sang Luo said hurriedly.

Little Shitou is a rather taciturn boy who has had little contact with females since childhood. The excitement of his first love comes and goes quickly.

When a young and beautiful female takes the initiative to show her affection, he can't help but be moved, but he has to distinguish clearly whether it is a liking or a love.

"Don't worry, I'm watching over the children." Lan Cang said with a smile, "The girl said that she will only have Shitou as her partner in the future. If the two of them truly love each other and achieve a happy marriage, it would be a wonderful thing for the child to have someone who is devoted to him wholeheartedly."

"Why? Are you envious of your son?"

Lan Cang stroked her eyebrows with his fingers. The calluses on his fingertips were a little rough, but the man's movements were gentler than feathers. "I'm not envious. In my heart, no one can compare to you. I'm just happy for my son. To have a partner who truly loves him is the greatest happiness in a male beast's life."

Sang Luo snuggled in his strong and broad arms.

Lan Cang has been exercising for many years and has a tall and strong figure. Being held tightly in his arms, the feeling of having your body wrapped up gives people a great sense of satisfaction and happiness.

"...It's been so long since I came back, but I still feel a sense of daze. I still remember the three little wolf cubs as babies, and in the blink of an eye, we're already old enough to get married." Sang Luo smiled bitterly, "Are we going to be grandparents one day? I feel like I'm going to be a grandmother soon."

"How can there be such a young and beautiful grandmother? As for me, I will really become a grandfather after my children have their own children."

Lan Cang leaned against her forehead and asked gently,

"When I am old and gray, will Luoluo dislike me?"

Sang Luo shook his head desperately, "You really have become an old grandfather, and you are the best looking one. In my heart, you will never grow old."

She looked up at him, her voice soft and compassionate, "You've given me your best years, so how could I possibly despise you? Even if you lose all your teeth and end up lying in bed unable to take care of yourself, I'll still feed you."

The woman's clear black pupils reflected his face, filled with him. Lan Cang's Adam's apple rolled, and suddenly he grasped the back of her head with his broad palm, pressing her tightly in his arms, "..."

From an angle she couldn't see, the man's eyes were red and wet, and a tear ran down his face and hid in his clothes.

Late at night, they shared a bed and talked about many things, including memories of the past and the joys of their children's childhood.

Zhuizhui and Zhixin were timid when they were young. Whenever they encountered danger, Xiao Shitou would stand in front to protect his younger sister.

When the two little wolf cubs were too playful to study, it was Little Stone who urged them to study.

Once, Zhui Zhui made his sister cry, so he ran a hundred miles just to pick a snow spirit flower and give it to her to cheer her up...

…

Two months later, there is a Lantern Festival.

It is a rare warm season in the northern continent, the ice and snow melt, and the rivers break the ice.

The northern continent is vast and sparsely populated, with cold weather. Compared with other prosperous and bustling continents, it always seems a bit depressed and lonely. Every time this season comes, people always look for some heartwarming fun. I don’t know who started it, but later more and more people participated, and Lan Cang held a three-day Lantern Festival in the city.

During the Lantern Festival, the orcs in the city can enjoy the lanterns, sing and dance, and have bonfire dinners with their families and friends. It is a rare grand event in the city every year.

The people who are most excited about the Lantern Festival are the young single males and the loving couples.

The environment in the northern continent is harsh, and the weaker females rarely go out on weekdays. The males are busy hunting and working to make a living, so they rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with females.

Only during these warmer festivals each year can you see females going out in groups and pairs. For young males, it is a good opportunity to strike up a conversation and show themselves, and maybe win a heart.

Young couples also like to play together during the Lantern Festival to promote their relationship.

Xiao Shitou also made an appointment with Heng Tao to go out and play.

Not to mention chasing him, he disappeared early in the morning and I don’t know where he went.

Zhixin had no interest in the Lantern Festival. There were enough males who fawned on her and asked for her sex, some of whom were so persistent that she couldn't be driven away. She didn't want to show up in public and get herself into trouble.

On the Lantern Festival, she went home for a family reunion dinner and then returned to Chuanwu City. The factory had a new large order, and the client was anxious to get it.

"The Lantern Festival is quite lively this year. Let's go out for a walk instead of staying in the study. It's so boring." Sang Luo lay in front of the table and looked at Lan Cang pitifully.

Lan Cang blushed, "Luoluo, the Lantern Festival is full of young couples. You and I have been married for so many years. In the past, would we..."

"What's wrong with being an old married couple? I just want to go over and have fun. If you don't accompany me, I'll go by myself." Sang Luo was unhappy.

Lan Cang hurriedly said, "I'll go with you!"

"That's more like it."

Sang Luo chose a festive red cotton coat and skirt, which was very slim-fitting and did not make her look bulky at all.

Looked in the mirror.

"Does it look good?"

Lan Cang looked at her, reluctant to close his eyes, "Beautiful!"

She looks good in whatever she wears and can outshine all the other girls without any special dressing up.

"I've also prepared a set for you. After you change, let's go see the lanterns." Sang Luo took out a men's suit of similar color and style, which looked like a couple's outfit.

Lan Cang took the beautiful clothes that were somewhat inappropriate for his age, looked at her, then looked at himself in the mirror, lowered his head and felt ashamed, "Luoluo, will I embarrass you?"

"Trust your partner's aesthetic taste. This outfit suits you very well and it will definitely look good on you!" Sang Luo urged him to change his clothes quickly.

Lan Cang had no choice but to change his clothes. He changed out of the black, gray, and blue he wore year-round... and into a warm red fur-collared cloak with an apricot-colored embroidered lining. It was a stark contrast to his usual style, but it was also very nice and refreshing!

The main reason is that he is good-looking, with a sharp face, handsome and resolute. Although he is not as pure and young as he was in his youth, he has more of the calmness and stability of a mature man, and has a unique charm.

He has a tall and straight figure, a real human clothes hanger, and any clothes look good on him.
