Chapter 232: Hugging the thigh
"There's no reason, I just want to see your wife." After saying that, Si Yufeng saw that his eldest son's face was still not good, so he patted his shoulder and said comfortingly: "It's okay, don't think too much."
Back then, Si Yufeng was a soldier under Marshal Nicholas.
He believed that the marshal would not do anything to their Si family.
Along the way, Si Yufeng was very calm, but Si Ming was not. Because it was about Ye Jiaojiao, the string in his mind was always tense.
Ye Jiaojiao's hand was held by Si Ming, and she could feel that his palms were sweating. Si Yufeng was beside her, so she couldn't say anything to comfort him. She could only hold the hand tightly and gave Si Ming a reassuring smile when he looked at her.
The floating city where Marshal Nicholas lives is very large. After Ye Jiaojiao and Si Yufeng followed them through rows of villas, the city seemed to be getting more and more secluded.
Without the towering buildings, the surrounding environment gradually became quiet.
After a while, they stopped outside a small courtyard. To Ye Jiaojiao's surprise, there was a bamboo forest planted next to the courtyard.
Judging from the appearance, someone must be taking good care of it.
There was only a middle-aged man guarding the gate of the villa. When he saw Ye Jiaojiao and her group, the middle-aged man nodded to Si Yufeng, then pointed in the direction of the bamboo forest and said, "The Marshal asked you to go to the forest to find him."
Although it is called a forest, it is actually not that big, only about a few acres. After entering the bamboo forest and walking a dozen steps, Ye Jiaojiao saw an incongruous and non-standard pavilion with an old man sitting inside.
The old man seemed to be drinking something. Looking from the back, one could only see his gray hair and straight body. It was not until Si Yufeng stepped forward and called out "Marshal" that the old man slowly turned around, revealing his full appearance.
Marshal Nicolus is a legend of the empire, having dedicated his entire life to the empire. Now he is old, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes reveal the ruthless years, but his eyes are still sharp, as if they can pierce into people's hearts at a glance.
Marshal Nicolus nodded slightly at Si Yufeng, then glanced past Si Ming and landed on Ye Jiaojiao. Although he tried hard to look amiable, the smile he forced out still looked stiff: "Child, you are Ah Ming's new wife, right?"
"Hello." Marshal Nicholas was intimidating without even getting angry. Seeing him speaking directly to her, bypassing Si Ming, Ye Jiaojiao was stunned and greeted him politely.
Marshal Nicholas looked even older than her master. Facing the old man, who showed no hostility towards her, Ye Jiaojiao generally had a good attitude. Not to mention being indifferent, she didn't even feel a sense of unfamiliarity.
"Come and sit down!" Nicholas was very happy with Ye Jiaojiao's attitude. The stiff smile on his face looked much more real. He warmly invited her over: "I heard that you like the culture of ancient China very much. This is some tea that I specially asked someone to collect. Do you like it?"
Nicholas was very enthusiastic, and Ye Jiaojiao was not shy either. She pulled Si Ming to sit next to Nicholas, picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip. "Not bad. I have a lot of tea here too. Do you want to try it?"
Ye Jiaojiao spoke carelessly, with sincerity in her eyes.
It's like recommending something good to your elders.
The three superiors present were all stunned.
"Jiaojiao." Si Ming came back to his senses first. Taking advantage of the cover of the table, he tugged at Ye Jiaojiao's sleeve. He couldn't understand why his little wife suddenly became like a different person, losing the timidity and shyness hidden in her bones.
In fact, Ye Jiaojiao herself was a little confused.
Sitting there, being stared at by Si Ming, she blinked innocently.
Hmm.
Is this her old problem coming back?
Could it be that he subconsciously wanted to cling to the imperial marshal's thigh?
A certain salty fish with a criminal record was reflecting on this in his heart.
"Haha, sure. Bring some next time and I'll try it!" At this moment, Nicholas finally came back to his senses after a brief moment of shock. He suddenly laughed out loud, then sighed with emotion, "I couldn't believe it when I learned that Ah Ming was getting married. Now it seems I don't have to worry anymore."
Nicholas looked back and forth between the newlyweds, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes when he thought of those people who were secretly causing trouble for the Si family.
He is old and will soon be removed from the position of marshal.
Si Yufeng was his first choice for successor
Now, Si Ming has married another amazing little girl
Some people may not be able to bear it any longer -
Contrary to Si Ming's worries, Nicholas smiled throughout the whole process. They had lunch together and chatted about trivial matters. When the father and son of the Si family were about to take Ye Jiaojiao away, he showed his reluctance to let them go.
Before leaving, Ye Jiaojiao once again glanced at the bamboo forest surrounding the yard and suddenly asked, "Do you have bamboo shoots and bamboo rats here?"
"Bamboo shoots? Bamboo rats? What are those?" Nicholas shook his head honestly, with curiosity in his eyes. At first glance, he didn't look like the majestic and powerful imperial marshal, but an ordinary old man playing with his grandchildren.
"It's delicious!" Catching the reluctance in Nicolus's eyes, Ye Jiaojiao glanced at the empty floating city, which was filled with nothing but guards and robots. She grinned and said, "I'll send it to you when I have the chance!"
"Hahaha! Okay, okay!" Nicholas said yes repeatedly, laughing heartily: "By the way, don't forget my tea!"
"Don't worry! I will definitely not forget!" Before leaving, Ye Jiaojiao was thinking about what gift to prepare for Marshal Nicholas. When she returned to the Fifth Army Base, she had already made a list.
After this inexplicable trip, and after returning to see his lovely wife busying herself and completely ignoring him, Si Ming had even more questions in his mind: "Jiaojiao, you seem very close to Marshal Nicholas?"
Not only his little wife is weird, but Marshal Nicholas is also weird.
Are you in a hurry to call them over just to see them in person?
"A Ming, why didn't I realize that you were so worried before? Be careful, you'll get old quickly if you worry too much!" Seeing that Si Ming's brows were furrowed so much that he could pinch a fly to death, Ye Jiaojiao paused and couldn't help but give him a blank look.
Getting old quickly?
After hearing what his beloved wife said, Si Ming subconsciously raised his hand and touched his face, and the temperature around him dropped by ten degrees.
Xiaobai has no conscience
Don’t you see who he is doing this for?
Si Ming, who refused to admit that his image had collapsed and acted like an old mother, had a gloomy face and simply turned his back and ignored Ye Jiaojiao.
"Oh, are you angry?" Ye Jiaojiao, who had never been ignored by Si Ming before, looked at him with a look of surprise. She smiled secretly for a while and then came over to comfort him: "Ah Ming, don't be angry. I just think the old man is a good person, very kind. As for closeness, the person I am closest to is obviously you, Ah Ming!"
When Ye Jiaojiao mentioned the word "dear", she deliberately emphasized her tone. She was clearly speaking seriously, but she did not sound like a serious person.
Being teased by Ye Jiaojiao, Si Ming's seriousness broke down in less than a minute. His shoulders slumped and he sighed, "Didn't you say you were going to prepare a gift for the Marshal? Go quickly, he must be looking forward to Jiaojiao's gift too."
