Luo Sheng took a deep breath, composed himself, and turned around, his usual calm demeanor restored.
He said politely, "In any case, it was Young Master Chen who helped us with this matter, so we should be grateful."
Chen Yuancheng picked up his cup and said casually, "Yun Ying has already thanked me. She gave me several patterns of clothes that were tailor-made for me. They are patterns that Jinxiu Pavilion has never had before... It should be said that no one else has them. They belong only to me. I like this gift very much."
Luo Yong's feigned composure crumbled instantly, and he gripped his cup tightly: "Yun Ying specially designed the clothing pattern for you?"
Chen Yuancheng stretched out his arms and made a display gesture: "Yes, the azure blue coat I'm wearing was made according to the blueprints Yun Ying gave me. Yuan Yao and Yuan Xuan both said it suits me very well, and I like it very much myself. General Luo, don't you think this coat suits me very well?"
Luo Sheng thought to himself that he hadn't even received a design for the clothes specially designed by his wife. The clothes he had made before were all chosen from the drawings that had been drawn long ago. Why should he, an outsider, get a design that he didn't even have?
But he didn't want Chen Yuancheng to laugh at him, so he could only force a smile and say dryly, "Young Master Chen is very well suited to wearing this color."
Chen Yuancheng withdrew his hand with satisfaction and sat up straight and composed: "Yes, Yun Ying also said that I look best in blue clothes."
Luo Yong tightened his grip on the cup. His wife had once complimented him on how good he looked in blue.
She's never praised herself, nor has she ever said what color looks good on her.
Luo Sheng was speechless after being hit hard. He lowered his head and sullenly drank his milk tea, looking like he refused to communicate with her anymore.
Chen Yuancheng remained calm. He picked up the cup and brought it to his lips, concealing the smile in his eyes and at the corners of his mouth.
He had already noticed the bracelet on Xiao Yunying's wrist...
Seeing the exquisite craftsmanship of the bracelet, Yuan Yao asked a few questions out of curiosity. When she heard that it was a gift from Luo Sheng, everyone knew the answer in their hearts.
She's so intelligent; she couldn't possibly be unaware of the meaning behind a man giving a woman jewelry.
If she's willing to wear it, it means she's already accepted the man in her heart.
And that cherry blossom wood hairpin that she took off a long time ago and has never been seen wearing again.
He had known this day would come. Regardless of whether Xiao Yunying knew his feelings or not, even if it was to avoid misunderstandings, he would stop wearing the jewelry once she understood the meaning behind it.
Thinking of this, the smile in Chen Yuancheng's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a faint sadness and disappointment.
Only now did he begin to regret that he had hesitated and dared not face his own feelings.
But he didn't regret it too much. He knew his own body best. No matter how carefully he took care of it, he would never be as healthy as a normal person. This was a knot in his heart.
He didn't want to be a burden to Xiao Yunying.
Looking at it now, Luo Sheng isn't so bad. He's good to Yun Ying, and she can at least be considered someone she can rely on. I'm happy for her.
Since it's her choice, I will respect it.
Even though he felt some resentment and regret, he would not interfere in their relationship or ruin her happiness.
However, she always felt uncomfortable whenever she saw this man, which is why she always wanted to suppress and tease him.
It was a way of venting my anger.
Every time I see him looking frustrated and unable to vent his anger, I feel a sense of relief.
After calming himself down, Chen Yuancheng stood up and said, "I'll go see what Yun Ying is doing. General Luo, please feel free to do as you please."
"good……"
Luo Sheng was about to respond when he realized that he was in his own home, and his behavior made it seem as if he were a guest at the Chen residence.
Seeing Chen Yuancheng enter the kitchen, Luo Sheng hurriedly got up and followed him.
He couldn't let his wife be alone in a room with this man with ulterior motives.
Xiao Yunying was processing the mutton and venison that Chen Yuancheng had brought. She had already sorted and cut them up when she heard footsteps coming from the door. She turned around and saw the two of them coming in one after the other.
"You've come at the perfect time, Luo Sheng. Help me chop these sheep bones open with that axe."
Luo Sheng accepted the task, took the lamb skeleton and axe, went to the chopping block in the corner, and chopped it into small pieces as Xiao Yunying had instructed.
Xiao Yunying sliced the mutton herself and talked to Chen Yuancheng: "Did you come in because you had nothing to say to Luo Sheng and were bored?"
Chen Yuancheng didn't mention what had just happened: "It's my fault for being so taciturn, which bored General Luo."
"Forget it, don't take it out on yourself. I know you and him well. He hardly ever talks. When he first came back, he was like an ice sculpture. Sometimes you wouldn't hear him say a word all day."
Luo Yong stopped chopping bones: "I'm still here, I can hear you."
Xiao Yunying continued cutting the meat with her hands, but raised her voice and said, "So what? Am I wrong?"
"I didn't say it was wrong..."
Luo Sheng tried to refute in a barely audible voice, then continued chopping bones.
Chen Yuancheng didn't get too involved in the topic: "Is there anything I can help with? Let me do it."
"No need, you can't do this kind of work. We still need to wait for Yuan Yao and the others to pick the vegetables. If you're bored, just chat with me over there."
Chen Yuancheng knew he was completely clueless about cutting meat and cooking; in fact, he had never stepped into a kitchen before meeting Xiao Yunying, so he didn't try to be brave.
We ate lunch in a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere for almost an hour, only to find out after we finished that it had started snowing again outside.
Chen Yuancheng said, "The weather is bad, so we won't stay any longer."
