Chapter 40 Where is the hostess?



"Why is this?"

"Mrs. Xiao, your questions are getting trickier and trickier."

Li Sisi looked at Wen Luoxin: "You don't know either?"

Wen Luoxin felt that Li Sisi was humiliating her, implying that she grew up in the countryside and should know these vulgar things.

"I don't know. I usually study medicine with my master and don't know much about this kind of thing." She emphasized the fact that she studied medicine, intending to cover up the fact that she grew up in the countryside.

Li Sisi's blatant scrutiny made Wen Luoxin nervous and flustered. Could it be that she had guessed something? Impossible. How could anyone have guessed such an incredible thing?

However, Shen Fu was obviously not right either.

Li Sisi said with a hint of regret, "Well, it seems I won't be able to drink today even if I want to." She looked away from Wen Luoxin and only watched her out of the corner of her eye. "The answer is, this little pig can't do riddles!"

"Huh? What kind of answer is that?"

"What's a brain teaser?"

"I understand a little bit, but I don't understand at the same time. Could Madam Xiao Er explain it clearly?"

Li Sisi noticed that Wen Luoxin was also puzzled. Could she have guessed wrong? Was the heroine not a transmigrator from a book?

She picked up a glass of wine and said loudly, "Actually, what you just said makes sense. My riddles were indeed a bit outrageous. How about this, I'll drink three glasses of wine as punishment!"

"My lady, don't joke with me. You will be drunk after three drinks." Xiao Yunchen quickly stood up and snatched the glass from her hand.

"There's nothing wrong with the riddle you just told me. Don't punish yourself."

Li Sisi took the wine glass with him and said with puffed cheeks, "Husband, how about we go find my sister-in-law?"

Xiao Yunchen felt a little jealous after hearing this. How long had it been since they last met? And he was already going to look for her?

He frowned and said, "Sister-in-law and brother are together. If we go, we will spoil their fun. Let's go back together after the banquet is over."

Li Sisi sat down somewhat unhappily: "Okay then."

The other side.

Xiao Yunyu noticed that Li Nian would occasionally glance towards the courtyard entrance. He frowned and stuffed the jewelry he had just won into her hands, seemingly asking casually, "Who are you looking for?"

Li Nian's hands were almost full, and his sleeves felt heavy. "Why haven't I seen my second brother and the others?"

Moreover, in the original novel, the heroine's family recognition banquet was the first meeting between her and Xiao Yunyu. Where is the hostess? Why didn't she show up?

She glanced at Xiao Yunyu's friends. Most of the ornaments on their bodies were in her hands, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Xiao Yunyu, however, didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Instead, he only cared about what she said and chuckled, "Are you looking for your second brother or his wife? Others miss each other so much after just one day apart, but how long have you been apart?"

"I wonder if you wouldn't be able to survive without your second brother and sister-in-law?"

Xiao Yunyu's casual remark at this time had no idea that it would actually come true in the future, except that it was not his wife who committed suicide for love.

Li Nian looked up at him and smiled softly: "How could that be? I can't live without my husband!"

She didn't lie. Without Xiao Yunyu, she couldn't gain health points, so she would die!

Hearing this, Xiao Yunyu's mouth corners immediately curled up in an imperceptible arc: "You are getting better and better at speaking." He tilted his face, and his deep and unruly eyebrows could not hide his secret joy.

Li Nian ignored his teasing, raised her clear and beautiful eyes, and said in a sweet and soft voice: "Husband, you have won too much, you can't take it all."

"Then give me the thing, and you can shoot arrows next," Xiao Yunyu said as he bent down to take the thing in her hand.

"I don't know how to shoot arrows. What if I lose all your winnings?"

This was the first time she had seen this kind of game. Some instruments were placed on the ground, and then an object was taken from the participant, hidden in the instrument, and then shot at the instrument with an arrow.

The archer guesses which container the object is hidden in and then shoots it. Only if he hits the target and guesses correctly can he win the object.

Every time it was Xiao Yunyu's turn, he never missed, so after a few rounds, the things on his friends became less and less.

"Brother Yu, it's your turn now. Hurry up and don't just focus on hanging out with your sister-in-law." General Qi also lost two things, but he also won a few things from others, so he didn't lose out at all.

However, he still wanted to win back his things, and urged: "Hurry up, I don't believe it, I must win it back from you today."

Xiao Yunyu ordered the waiter beside him, "Go get a tray."

He held Li Nian in his arms as they walked towards the game area. He raised his chin in a defiant manner and chuckled at General Qi: "Let my wife play a few games next."

Li Nian raised her face in his arms, a look of uneasiness in her eyes: "Husband, I can't do this."

Xiao Yunyu said that everything he won would be given to her. Now it was her turn to play the game. What if she lost everything?

Although she feels embarrassed when she wins too much, she feels even more distressed when she loses everything!

Xiao Yunyu lowered his eyes and looked at the uneasy expression on the charming and beautiful face of the person in his arms. Something unconsciously came to his mind. The corners of his narrow eyes lifted up, and he lowered his head to her ear. His ruffian voice was low and magnetic, "My lady, you are too modest. You are obviously very good."

Li Nian understood his implication and hit him with a hammer, then called out his full name in annoyance: "Xiao Yunyu!"

This light blow had no deterrent effect on Xiao Yunyu, but instead made his heart burn with unbearable heat.

A low and hoarse laugh vibrated out from his chest: "Be good, don't provoke me." The low and magnetic sexy voice accompanied by his hot breath invaded her ears at the same time, making her skin numb.

The temperature of the chest, which was half-sticking to the back muscles, seemed to have risen as well. It was even hotter than before, so hot that Li Nian couldn't help but grab the corner of the clothes hanging on his side.

When she opened her mouth, her soft voice trembled a little: "Husband, I didn't."

"No?"

Xiao Yunyu raised his eyebrows slightly, realizing that the occasion was not right, and restrained his attitude. He said seriously: "Well, don't blame my wife, it was just my imagination."

Li Nian: ...He did learn the words she said.

A faint blush appeared on her fair and charming face, making the eyeliner at the end of her eyes look even more vivid and radiant.

With her red ears, she glared at him unhappily, like an annoyed cat, and couldn't help but raise her soft claws to scratch him.

Xiao Yunyu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips, and a doting and tender smile floated in his dark and deep eyes.

He really loves the way his wife looks.

"I say, can this game still be played?!" General Qi couldn't help but shout.

I'm really impressed. Why didn't I realize that Brother Yu had this kind of face before?

At this time, the servant had already brought the tray.

Xiao Yunyu let go of Li Nian, put all the ornaments she had won in her hands and sleeves into a tray, and asked the servant to hold them.

"Let's begin." He picked up the arrow and stuffed it into Li Nian's hand. His peach blossom eyes, stained with a smile, were full of temptation. His low, magnetic tone was both sweet and lustful. "Don't worry, your husband won't let you lose."

Friends who are silently shining around me: ...

You are the only one who is married and you have a wife, right?
