She was originally the Princess of Nanzhao, but due to an unexpected twist of fate, she ended up living among the common folk. Eight years ago, Xiao Nan'an, the Regent of Tianqi, rescued her du...
Chapter 467 I, Chu Jin, am also going to get married!
The autumn wind blew up a few ginkgo leaves and they fell on their shoulders.
The hostility that once existed between them has long since dissipated in time, leaving only the warmth and tenderness of the moment.
The scenery of Qingxi Cottage remains the same, but the rival from that year has now become the closest person, and there is also a child related by blood, and even the late autumn wind has become a little sweet.
At this time, little Chu Yue in Chu Jin's arms raised his chubby little face, blinked his big obsidian eyes, looked at his father, then looked at his mother, bit Chu Jin's face, and giggled.
Chu Jin caressed Chu Yue's little head lovingly, his eyes filled with tenderness:
"Our Yue'er is so cute."
Manluo chuckled and moved closer:
"I've been thinking about getting closer to Xiyan and arranging a marriage for Yin'er and Yue'er."
Chu Jin didn't even think about it and immediately frowned and refused:
"No! How could the Chu family marry Xiao Nanyan?"
Manluo's expression darkened instantly, and her tone became somewhat unhappy:
"What's wrong? Are you still remembering that time when the prince accidentally killed your father? Weren't you willing to help him break the city? And he evened it out by saving Yue'er's life, right?"
Chu Jin snorted, his tone firm:
"Let's put things in perspective. I can let go of my hatred and not seek revenge on him, but I absolutely cannot accept Yue'er marrying Xiao Nanyan's daughter."
Manluo's face turned completely cold, and she refuted without any hesitation:
"Your father? What kind of good guy is your father? He was blind and followed Su Qinyao to make a living. I guess he did a lot of bad things. His death may not be completely innocent."
"Manluo!"
Chu Jin's expression changed slightly, and his voice deepened: "After all, he is your father-in-law, so please be gentle with him."
Manluo sneered, with a hint of mockery in her eyes:
"Dad, you big-headed ghost. That's your dad, not mine. But speaking of my dad, he was even worse than your dad. In the end, didn't I kill him with my own hands? Counting it all together, my dad died a few years earlier than your dad."
Chu Jin saw that Manluo’s face was very long and knew that his words had offended this young lady.
It was rare that he was in a good mood today, so he quickly put on a smile and softened his tone to coax:
"Alright, alright, I don't mean anything else. Look, I haven't even found my marriage yet, and you're already worrying about your son's."
As he spoke, his big hand holding Manluo's waist tightened slightly, and his smile became more flattering:
"Manluo, our son is already so grown up. When will you be willing to be my Imperial Master's wife?"
Manluo's heart skipped a beat when he asked her this, but she still raised her leg and kicked him in the butt:
"Go away and live with your damn father!"
Chu Jin was speechless, a flame burning in his eyes, but when he saw Manluo's angry look, the anger instantly disappeared, leaving only a look of grievance.
He pulled out a small orange bellyband from his pocket and waved it pitifully in front of Manluo:
"My little Manluo, do you really have the heart to let me spend the whole day hugging this bellyband? It sleeps with me more than you do."
When Manluo saw the bellyband, she was stunned at first, then her pretty face flushed and she said angrily:
"You still have this? You bastard, what a pervert!"
Seeing her attitude soften, Chu Jin chuckled and winked at the little Chu Yue in his arms:
"Yue'er, can you please join Daddy in begging your mother to let her marry into our Chu family?"
Looking at the two similar faces, one big and one small, in front of her, especially the little Chu Yue who was grinning along with his father, Man Luo could no longer hold back and burst out laughing:
"Then you must make your wedding a grand one. You must not lose to Xiyan. She is my good sister, and I cannot let her laugh at me!"
Chu Jin was overjoyed and hugged his son tightly, spinning around three times:
"You agree? That's great! I, Chu Jin, am getting married too!"
Little Chu Yue in his arms was startled by the sudden vibration and cried out "Ah!" Then he suddenly came to his senses and kissed his son's face hard several times.
These days, although he didn't say it, he was looking forward to this day all the time in his heart. Now that his dream has come true, he feels that the blood in his body is boiling.
"It must be grand! Your wedding must rock the entire Imperial City of Yandu!"
Chu Jin's voice was filled with uncontrollable ecstasy, and the ending tone trembled slightly, as if a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time had finally found an outlet.
"The wife of Tianqi's Imperial Master must be married off in a grand ceremony. With a riot of red, a profusion of makeup, and resounding music, I want the whole world to know that you, Manluo, am my Chu Jin's wife!"
Chu Jin became more and more excited as he spoke, and he couldn't wait to set up a banquet and announce it to the world.
Manluo looked at his ecstatic expression, unable to hide the smile on her lips, but a layer of mist quietly covered her eyes - it turned out that stable happiness was such a solid feeling.
Chu Jin was so excited that his fingers unconsciously stroked Manluo's face, as if he was afraid that this was just a dream that would disappear in a flash.
"I'll arrange it right away! The betrothal gift list, the auspicious date and time, everything needs to be finalized. It's going to be even more lively than when Xiao Nanyan married Xiyan. I absolutely can't let you down!"
Seeing his incoherent speech, Manluo felt angry and amused, reaching out and poking his forehead:
"Why rush? There's still a long way to go. The civil strife has just subsided, the new ruler has not yet been appointed, and Helian Feng's injuries haven't healed yet. It won't be too late to do it once everything is stable."
Chu Jin held her hand tightly, fearing that she would regret it if he let go:
"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say! I've been waiting for this day for so long."
He bent down and kissed her hard on the lips, then pressed a kiss on his son's soft cheek, smiling like a child who had received candy.
The sunlight filtered through the gaps between the branches and leaves, dancing on his ecstatic face, making the light in his eyes brighter than the clear sky in late autumn.
The wind in Qingxi Cottage seemed to be soaked in honey, blowing gently on the two people hugging each other, and the innocently smiling children in their arms.
The belated joy was like the morning mist in the woods, quietly flowing over the stone path and penetrating into the depths of the bamboo forest. Even the dewdrops on the leaves were shining with sweet light.
Outside the bamboo forest, a green shadow stood quietly.
He looked at the family of three who were huddled together not far away, the tenderness of Chu Jin as he lowered his head to tease the child, and the shy smile on Manluo's face. He stared blankly and finally sighed softly.
The world of three people is already full and there is no room for a fourth person.
He slowly stepped back and quietly left Qingxi Cottage, leaving the warmth and sweetness in the world belonging to his family of three.
