Chapter 403: Twenty Years of Aloneness, Not at All Unfair
This happened so suddenly that Yun Chenglu was a little confused. He just stood there stupidly without saying anything. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
Seeing that his second brother was stunned and didn't answer, Yun Ran walked over and said, "Miss Miao Yi, my second brother is twenty years old this year and has never been married."
"Oh..." Miao Yi played with her hair with her fingers and smiled at Yun Ran, "Thank you very much."
"Then let's go inside and talk first? It's getting dark and I'm starving."
Miao Yi smiled coquettishly, covering her stomach with a pair of slender white hands. She was so enthusiastic and proactive, taking the initiative, and she didn't look like a girl from the boudoir of Dakang Kingdom at all.
Yun Ran actually liked her straightforward nature and said, "Okay."
The five of them then returned to Shanhai Tower together.
Yun Chenglu settled the Feiyun Army and was about to talk to Yun Ran, but he was sandwiched between Miao Yi and Ka Bei, one on the left and one on the right, and they pulled him aside to talk.
Yun Ran and Uncle Chang walked behind the three of them and gave Uncle Chang the small pill that Miao Yi had just given him.
Uncle Chang swallowed the pill directly and said guiltily, "Thank you, young boss. You've been tossing and turning all day for my old bones. The business of Shanhailou has stopped."
"It's okay, it's not too much trouble." Yun Ran looked at the backs of the three people in front of him and curled the corners of his mouth.
If Miao Yi is really destined to be with her second brother, maybe she will be his second sister-in-law in the future.
Seeing that the situation here had calmed down, Yun Sanlang, Yin Qianlan and Yun Chengxi had already returned to Shanhai Tower.
Because of the competition today, there are not many customers in Shanhai Building, and the lobby on the first floor is empty.
Yun Ran originally wanted to ask Ka Bei and Miao Yi to sit in the private room on the second floor, but Miao Yi didn't seem to care. She found a corner by the window and sat down, and Ka Bei sat opposite her.
It was almost time for dinner, so Yun Ran asked Jiu Yue and the others to check the kitchen for any ingredients and prepare a delicious meal.
After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and she had discovered one thing.
Although Miao Yi said that Ka Bei was her brother, their words and actions did not seem like siblings.
For example, when Miao Yi spoke to Kabei, her tone was not polite at all, and sometimes she even habitually ordered Kabei to do this and that.
When facing Miao Yi, Ka Bei was always cautious and showed some respect. He didn't say anything on important matters and waited for Miao Yi to make the decision.
It's totally unlike the family-like relationship between her and her second brother, Chengxi.
So she had some suspicions that Miao Yi's identity might not be ordinary.
She and Uncle Chang ordered some good wine and were just about to take it over so that everyone could drink together when Yun Chenglu came over with his brows twisted like a knot.
"Ran Ran, why did you leave him here just because you said so?"
Yun Chenglu complained, "They are from Nanlin, and their identities are unclear. Do you know what their purpose is in coming to Dakang?"
"I don't know." Yun Ran shook his head honestly, "But second brother, I know that at least they are not bad people. They are much better than Du Qian."
"You!" Yun Chenglu looked disappointed. "Don't you notice the weirdness between these two? They don't look like brother and sister at all! They're more like master and servant!"
Oh, it turns out that my second brother also discovered it.
Yun Ran pursed her lips and smiled. It seemed that although her second brother was usually slow, he was still very smart at critical moments. He was worthy of being someone who had been by General Zhao's side for so many years.
"It's okay. Even if they have something fishy going on, it's right under our noses. Isn't it safer than letting them go?"
Yun Chenglu: ...
He inexplicably felt that what Yun Ran said made sense?
As the two were talking, a soft little ball bumped into them and landed on Yun Ran's thigh.
"Sister! Have you finished chatting with second brother? The dishes are served, let's go and eat!" Yun Chengxi raised his little head and looked at the two of them.
Yun Chenglu said, "We'll be there in a moment."
The matter between Kabei and Miaoyi has not been clarified yet.
Unexpectedly, Yun Chengxi hugged his thigh again and refused to let go: "Second brother, you'd better go over there quickly. Didn't you see that sister in red? Her eyes are glued to you and you can't dig them out!"
“Ahem…”
Yun Chenglu almost spit out a mouthful of saliva. He glanced over there and saw Miao Yi sitting in the corner, looking over here.
Yun Ran smiled: "Let's go, eat first, and we'll talk about it later if there's anything."
The three of them returned to the table together. Yun Sanlang and Yin Qianlan also stayed to eat. The large table was very lively.
After dinner, Yin Qianlan and Yun Sanlang took Yun Chengxi back to the house first. Yun Ran and Yun Chenglu stayed here to settle Kabei and Miao Yi first and leave later.
Yun Ran arranged a room for the two of them in an empty room on the third floor. Ka Bei felt a little guilty and said that his cooking skills were pretty good, so he would stay in the kitchen to help out and also help with any chores that he could.
Knowing that if he didn't agree, the two of them might not live in peace, Yun Ran agreed.
After Yun Ran and Uncle Chang settled the bill and checked the lobby on the first floor and the private rooms on the second floor, and found that everything was almost cleaned up, Yun Ran planned to go home with Yun Chenglu.
Just as they were about to go downstairs, Miao Yi stopped Yun Chenglu and said, "Brother Chenglu, will you come tomorrow?"
Yun Chenglu scratched his head: "I will return to Beijing tomorrow."
Originally, he came back this time for the old emperor's birthday. Now that the birthday is over, it is time for him to leave Beijing with General Zhao and garrison at the border.
"When will you come back?"
"That's not right. Guarding the border and fighting a war takes at least a few months, and at most several years."
Seeing Miao Yi's disappointed face, Yun Ran said casually, "I can't say for sure because of my usual military duties, but if the war is not urgent by the end of the year, I will definitely come back."
Anyway, Brother Xiaojing promised her that he would return to Beijing at the end of the year and then stay in Beijing.
After hearing what she said, Miao Yi's face lit up again. She walked downstairs with her skirt lifted up and hugged Yun Ran's arm.
"Sister Yun, I just arrived here and I'm unfamiliar with the place. Can you stay with me for one night?"
In addition to Yun Ran's private kitchen, her room is also on the third floor. There are also several empty rooms, which were reserved for guests at that time.
It’s not that she can’t stay, but sometimes when there are many guests, she won’t go home to sleep and will stay in Shanhailou.
Pretending not to understand the deeper meaning of Miao Yi's words, Yun Ran smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I will stay and accompany Sister Miao Yi tonight."
"Ran Ran..." Yun Chenglu was helpless. If Yun Ran didn't leave, would he go back by himself?
"This is the first time Sister Miaoyi and Brother Kabei have come here, and as their host, I'm leaving them here. This is definitely not the right way to treat guests."
Yun Ran said seriously: "How about we stay here for tonight?"
She has explained it so clearly, Yun Chenglu should finally understand.
But he didn't.
Yun Chenglu looked at Yun Ran, who seemed determined to stay, and said, "Then Second Brother will go back first. Come over early tomorrow and we'll be back in Beijing by morning. You guys lock the door at night, and call Uncle Chang and the others if you need anything."
Yun Ran: ...
She suddenly felt that it was not unfair for her second brother to have been alone for twenty years.
