Without parents or support, surrounded by predators, young Shi Jianli had no choice but to go to the capital to seek refuge with her aunt, becoming the Second Branch's cousin residing in the Du...
Chapter 206 Moonlight Boat (10)
"Okay, when I get back, you can come to my house to find me."
"Yeah." Ji Rangzhou let go of her and took a step back.
A breeze blew into his arms, dispelling the remaining warmth, and he began to crave her softness and warmth in his arms.
He closed his fingers, suppressed the nostalgia in his heart, quickly climbed onto the horse, turned his eyes away, and said, "Let's go."
Want to take her with me.
Ming Yuelin returned to the ancestral home in a good mood. After entering the backyard, he looked in the mirror. Seeing the pearl flowers he had pinned on, he couldn't hide his joy in his voice: "He has good taste."
After offering sacrifices to their ancestors, the group returned to the capital, by which time it was already nearly October.
On September 29th, Ji Rangzhou had just come out of the Dali Temple. The guards waiting outside for him to return to the Fuguogong Mansion came to greet him and said, "Sir, the people from the Anguogong Mansion have just arrived in the capital."
Ji Rangzhou nodded, looked at the sky, and went to Su Mansion.
Su Xingyu was acting coquettishly and asked his father to hold him for a stroll around the mansion. He lay in his father's arms and talked to himself.
Su Zhuochen ignored him, occasionally responding. Seeing Ji Rangzhou coming, he asked with a smile, "Why did you have time to come over? Did you come to see your sister?"
Ji Rangzhou nodded casually and took Su Xingyu from his arms.
Su Xingyu didn't make a fuss. When they got into Ji Rang's boat, he pulled his collar and asked, "Uncle, did you come to play with me?"
Ji Rangzhou pinched the back of his neck and scratched it with his fingertips. "Your grandmother missed you and asked me to come and pick you up to stay for two days."
Zhenmian couldn't help but look at him, and felt that his master was becoming more and more skilled at telling lies with his eyes open.
"Hahaha..." Su Xingyu was ticklish, and he tickled her so hard that she burst into laughter. Her chubby little hands grabbed his fingers, "Okay, okay, uncle, when will you take me to see grandma?"
"Later, have a meal with your mother and say goodbye to her."
Su Zhuochen was happy to throw this overly energetic son away, so he had no objection at all.
After having dinner at the Su Mansion, Ji Rangzhou took Su Xingyu back home, followed by the wet nurse who took care of Su Xingyu.
After dinner, the wife of the Duke of Fuguo, who was enjoying the breeze and drinking tea in the courtyard, glanced at the sky and said, "It's this late, and Zhou'er hasn't come back yet. Isn't the Dali Temple not very busy recently?"
The Duke of Fuguo lay leisurely in the rocking chair, "Today, everyone from the Duke of Anguo's Mansion arrived in Beijing. He guessed that they went to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion."
The last time he volunteered to go to Gaozhou, he knew exactly what his plan was as his father.
After the Duke of Fuguo finished speaking, Ji Rangzhou carried Su Xingyu into the yard, glanced at his father who had just been talking about him, put his nephew down, and patted his head.
Su Xingyu ran over happily, "Grandpa, Grandma, I'm here~~"
The wife of the Duke of Fuguo smiled and took him into her arms for a long time. "Why are you here at this time, my dear grandson? Have you had dinner?"
"I've eaten. I ate with my father, mother, and uncle! My uncle said my grandmother missed me, so I came back with him."
The wife of the Duke of Fuguo looked at her son, who was standing in front of her with his hands behind his back, in confusion. She rubbed her grandson's head and asked him, "Did your uncle really say that?"
"Yes, since grandma misses me so much, I'm here~"
The wife of the Duke of Fuguo glanced at her son with a smile. Ji Rangzhou bowed to the two of them and left.
The Duke of Fuguo came over, picked up his grandson, and asked, "How long will Xingyu stay with Grandpa?"
"Two days. My uncle said he would take me to visit Aunt Lin on my day off~"
The Duke of Fuguo laughed heartily, "This brat is playing tricks on a child."
…
On the day off, Ji Rangzhou and the wife of the Duke of Anguo, who was holding Su Xingyu, went to the Duke of Anguo's mansion together.
The wife of the Duke of Fuguo went to talk to Yuan Yuhe, and Ji Rangzhou took Su Xingyu to find Ming Zhaohuan.
"Hello uncles~" Su Xingyu waved happily when he saw Mingzhao was still waiting for others.
Mingzhao, who knew that his fiancée had an appointment today and could only play chess with his younger brothers in his yard, still heard the sound. He looked over and saw Ji Rangzhou holding the child, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
He hooked his finger at Su Xingyu and said, "Come here, Uncle Ming will hold you?"
Su Xingyu stretched out his hand towards him, "Uncle Ming, I'm thirsty and want to drink some sweet water."
"Okay, wait a moment." Mingzhao rubbed his round head, looked at Tianfeng, and motioned him to go to the kitchen to bring it.
Su Xingyu nudged himself in his arms, took his hand and said, "I want to play with Aunt Lin. Uncle Ming, can you take me to see Aunt Lin?"
Mingzhao glanced at Ji Rangzhou, picked him up and rocked him, "Okay, you don't want to drink the sweet water?"
After not seeing him for half a year, the child has become much stronger.
"Go drink at Aunt Lin's place."
"Let's go." Mingzhao still held him and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.
Ji Rangzhou followed suit readily.
"Uncle Ming, my grandmother is here today too. She went to see Grandma Yuan." Su Xingyu was a man who could never keep quiet. He began to whisper to Ming Zhaohan in his arms.
Mingzhao responded to him incoherently and carried him to the reception room.
Seeing Mingyue approaching them, Su Xingyu waved to them, "Hello, aunties~"
As soon as Mingzhao put him down, he ran into Mingyuelin's arms and said happily that he brought her a gift. Mingyuelin looked at Ji Rangzhou, then lowered her head, pinched his little face, and replied to him.
"Thank you Xingyu, are you here with your mother?"
"No, I came with my grandmother and uncle. My mother is at home. I have been staying at my grandmother's house for two days!" Su Xingyu was talking to her, but his attention was attracted by Shi Jianli again. He ran over to ask questions.
Ming Yuelin looked at Su Xingyu who was mumbling for a while before turning to look at Ji Rangzhou who was staring at him silently.
Mingzhao had already sat down, while Ji Rangzhou and his two brothers who had come with him were still standing. Mingyuelin tilted his head and asked with a smile, "Would you three like me to invite you to sit down again?"
Ji Rangzhou sat down right opposite her.
Ming Zhouqing, who was sitting next to Zheng Lejun, had already started talking to Zheng Lejun.
It was difficult to talk in such a crowded place, so Mingyuelin didn't talk to Ji Rangzhou. He held his head and looked at his elder and second brothers who were having fun together. He also gave a teasing look to Mingzhouhe, who was still single.
Ming Zhou and Tian Mou smiled at her and said, "I heard from Xing Yu that Brother Ji brought you a gift."
He then looked at Ji Rangzhou and dragged the two of them into the center of the topic: "Right, Brother Ji?"
Ming Yuelin turned to look at Ji Rangzhou, and seeing that he was staring at her, she blinked.
Under the gazes of others, Ji Rangzhou glanced at Ming Zhouhe and said in silence, "Well, I'll give it to you later."
"Oh, okay." Mingyuelin coughed lightly and changed the topic to talk to other people.
Su Xingyu, who was being carried over by Ming Zhou and fed with delicious food and drink, sighed and complained, "My uncle said he would bring me here to play, but he didn't play with me. He only looked after Aunt Lin. He was the one who insisted on bringing me here to play."
Ji Rangzhou, whose secrets were exposed by his nephew, was silent for a moment and glanced at him lightly.
After eating and drinking enough, Su Xingyu began to beg Ming Zhouhe, the only one who was willing to pay attention to him, to go out and play.
Ming Yuelin glanced at Ji Rangzhou, who had been sitting silently, and stood up and said, "I'm tired of sitting. I'm going to go for a walk."
Ji Rangzhou followed her.
After walking for a while, Ming Yuelin suddenly turned around, put his hands behind his back, tiptoed closer to him, and asked with a crooked look, "What are you following me for?"
"I received the letter." Ji Rangzhou did not retreat but moved forward, lowering his eyes to stare into hers, "You said you missed me."
