Chapter 164 The Birth of the Resentful Husband
Dongfang Yuning, dressed in a bright red riding uniform, rode his horse and waved the whip, running happily on the official road like a little phoenix that had broken free from its restraints.
The wind blew across her bright little face, lifting a few strands of naughty hair, and her laughter was as clear as a silver bell, echoing among the green mountains and green waters.
"Brother Aye! Look at that cloud! Doesn't it look like a big crab?"
She pointed to the horizon and shouted back excitedly.
Nangong Ye rode his horse beside her, wearing black clothes and with black hair, his posture was as straight as a pine tree.
He looked at his little wife's smile without any gloom, her cold eyebrows softened incredibly, and her eyes were filled with unwavering doting.
"Yeah, like."
He responded in a low voice, but his eyes were always lingering on her, as if that was the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Just as Dongfang Yuning once again sped up his horse, trying to keep pace with Nangong Ye and share more details about the "big crab" -
In a flash!
Nangong Ye stretched out his arms, his movements so fast that only a shadow remained! He precisely grasped Dongfang Yuning's slender waist, his arm muscles instantly tensed and exerted force, like the most agile cheetah snatching away its beloved prey!
"Oh!"
Dongfang Yuning only had time to let out a short cry of surprise before he flew off the saddle like a cloud and landed steadily in a solid and warm embrace.
Her back was pressed against Nangong Ye's broad chest, and she could even feel his steady and strong heartbeat through the fabric of her clothes.
"Sit down."
Nangong Ye's low voice sounded above her head, with unquestionable dominance, and his arms were like the strongest chains, confining her in front of him.
He controlled the reins with one hand and naturally put the other hand around her waist, his chin rubbing against the top of her head.
Dongfang Yuning twisted his body symbolically:
"I can ride it myself! Let me off!"
[Host, stop struggling! The prince's moves were quick, accurate, ruthless, and steady, a textbook example of 'catching love'! Boyfriend power max!]
The electronic sound of System 118 carries the excitement of watching a show.
[Just use it as your pendant! It's safe and labor-saving, and you can also admire the prince's beauty up close! You can't lose money!]
Nangong Ye's arms didn't move at all, but tightened even more, and there was a barely perceptible smile in his voice:
"It's windy and dangerous. It's warm like this."
After saying that, he deliberately wrapped her more tightly with his cloak.
Dongfang Yuning:
[…Okay, okay, since you’re so handsome.]
She found a comfortable position and curled up, her face slightly red, but her heart was sweet.
This scene accurately fell into the eyes of Nangong Yu, the brother-in-law of Lao Deng, who was standing by the window of the carriage at the rear.
He looked at the sweet little mandarin ducks in his brother's arms in front of him, and then looked at Dongfang Qiwu, who was leaning against the car window next to him, also looking at the free world outside with a longing face, and did not notice his resentful eyes at all.
Nangong Yu felt so sad! His teeth were about to fall out!
A strong urge came to my mind, and I wanted to show my affection too!
He cleared his throat and tried to make his voice sound charming:
"Wu'er, look at this crisp autumn weather and picturesque scenery. Wouldn't it be a waste to sit in a carriage? Why don't we follow Aye and the others and ride together? Wouldn't it be wonderful to ride horses together?"
A graceful image of himself hugging his beloved wife and galloping in the wind appeared in his mind.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Qiwu finally withdrew his gaze from the window.
She turned her head and looked her husband up and down - although he was well maintained, he was middle-aged after all, and his figure... well, not as strong as Nangong Ye who had practiced martial arts for many years.
Thinking about myself again, although I yearn for freedom, my riding skills... have been rusty for many years.
Her eyes clearly conveyed a few words: Are you serious?
Disdain! Blatant disdain!
Nangong Yu: “…”
My passionate old heart was instantly frozen by this look!
The psychological shadow area becomes infinite in an instant!
[Puff! Hahahaha!]
Dongfang Yuning's thoughts were like a precise finishing blow, resounding wildly in the minds of Nangong Ye and those who could hear him.
[Brother-in-law Lao Deng wants to learn from Brother Aye and flirt right away? Hahaha, he failed! He must be disliked by his sister!
System, quick! Calculate my brother-in-law's psychological shadow area at this moment! I'm almost dying of laughter! Please tell me what my sister is thinking!]
System 118:
[Ding! Calculating Nangong Yu's psychological shadow area... Calculating... Result: Greater than or equal to the total land area of Yan Nation! Attached resentment value: MAX!]
Analysis of the cause: The middle-aged emperor's romantic attempt was ruthlessly shattered after the empress's rational scrutiny and strength assessment!
As for the Queen's thoughts: Well, maybe she's too old to try to act cool like a young person? What if she falls? Wouldn't that be embarrassing? It's safer to just ride in a car.
Host, your finishing blow wasn't very damaging, but it was extremely insulting! Well done!]
Nangong Yu looked at his wife's "caring for the mentally retarded" eyes, and then looked at his sister-in-law who was laughing and shaking in her brother's arms in front of him, and a huge feeling of grievance surged in his heart.
He shrank back into the corner of the carriage like a child who didn't get any candy, his whole body exuding the resentful aura of "I'm wronged but I won't say it".
Reluctantly, he lifted the curtain again, his aggrieved eyes like tangible rays, fixed on the sweet figures of the couple riding together in front of him.
Nangong Ye occasionally lowered his head and whispered in Dongfang Yuning's ear, causing her ears to turn red and she hit his chest coquettishly.
In Nangong Yu's eyes, that scene was like a sweet, 100,000-volt attack! It pierced his eyes! It pierced his heart! It even pierced his lungs!
【Aye! I hate you! 】
Nangong Yu's heart was roaring,
[Showing affection leads to separation quickly... Never mind, Wu'er will be angry. I... I will endure it!]
He angrily lowered the car curtain, deciding to out of sight and out of mind.
Journey·Hello Symphony
The rest of the journey unfolds in this weird and hilarious atmosphere.
Dongfang Yuning took out various delicacies from the system space under the pretext of an oversized food box: the fruits produced in the Lingquan space were sweet and juicy, the braised food specially provided by the Fuxing chain was fragrant, and there was also her favorite crystal shrimp dumplings that Nangong Ye specially sent by express horse.
"Sister! Try this! It's so sweet!"
Dongfang Yuning stuffed a big peach into Dongfang Qiwu's hand.
Dongfang Qiwu took a bite and his eyes lit up:
"Wow! These peaches are even better than the ones sent as tribute from the palace!"
Nangong Yu looked at it eagerly:
"Wu'er, can you give me a taste too?"
Dongfang Qiwu glanced at him and handed him the half-eaten peach.
"Yes."
Nangong Yu: “…”
Looking at the half peach with tooth marks, it was difficult to decide whether to take it or not.
Inner thought: [Is it so difficult for me to eat a whole peach?!]
System 118:
[Host, the Emperor's brother-in-law's inner thoughts at this moment: My queen, my peach, are all gone! 嘤嘤嘤! ]
Dongfang Yuning:
[Hahaha! Well done, sister! I can laugh at my brother-in-law's resentful face for a whole year! Brother Aye, feed me another shrimp dumpling! Ah——]
Passing through the small town, Dongfang Qiwu was attracted by the folk handicrafts sold at roadside stalls.
She picked up a simple and cute clay pony and couldn't let it go:
“This is really interesting!”
Nangong Yu immediately took out his purse and said proudly:
"Boss, wrap it up!"
Trying to get back on track.
Dongfang Qiwu waved his hand, put down the pony, and picked up a cheaper bamboo basket next to him:
"This is more practical, it can be used to carry fruit on the road."
Nangong Yu's hand holding the purse froze in mid-air.
Inner Thought: [I want to spend money on my wife! I want to show off my wealth! Wuer, please give me a chance!]
System 118: [Ding! Detected: The middle-aged emperor's intense 'domineering CEO' spending urges are being ruthlessly suppressed by the Empress's 'pragmatism'! Consumption failed! Resentment value +10!]
Dongfang Yuning pulled Nangong Ye to watch the fun, thinking:
[Brother-in-law has so much money that he can't even put it to use...tsk tsk.]
"Brother Aye, I want the biggest candy man! Yes, the dragon one!"
Nangong Ye paid for it without saying a word and handed it to her.
Dongfang Yuning held up a huge dragon-shaped sugar man, smiling so hard that his teeth were showing, and he did not forget to shake it at Nangong Yu, silently showing off.
Nangong Yu wanted to learn how to braid Dongfang Qiwu's hair from Nangong Ye. He saw Nangong Ye very skillfully tied a beautiful bun for Dongfang Yuning.
As a result, due to his clumsiness, not only did he pull out several strands of Dongfang Qiwu's hair, but the bun he tied up was also crooked, as if it had been chewed by a dog.
Dongfang Qiwu looked at the blurry bronze mirror, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:
"Your Majesty... you should... let the maid come."
The tone was helpless.
Nangong Yu looked at his masterpiece, then at the faint groans coming from the next room, where Dongfang Yuning was being served comfortably by Nangong Ye, and he felt extremely sad and angry.
Inner thought: [I refuse to accept this! I must study and practice diligently!]
System 118: [Host Friendly Reminder: Emperor's Brother-in-law, some skill points require talent. For example, His Royal Highness Prince Yong's 'Hand of the Wife' is an SSR-level talent card, not available for krypton gold. I suggest you forgo treatment and just be served.]
Dongfang Yuning lay on Nangong Ye's legs and enjoyed a head massage, thinking:
[Brother-in-law's cooking skills... Hahaha, I've suffered so much! Brother Aye, a little to the left, yes, right there! It feels so good!]
He stood behind her, almost holding her in his arms, his big hands wrapped around her small hands, patiently adjusting her posture, and instructing her in a low voice in her ear:
"Relax your shoulders and keep your eyes on the bull's eye...yes, that's it."
The sunlight shines on the two of them, and the scene is as beautiful as a painting.
Nangong Yu was jealous and pulled Dongfang Qiwu:
"Wu'er, I'll teach you archery too! I used to be able to shoot an arrow through a hundred steps!"
Dongfang Qiwu looked at the heavy longbow and waved his hands repeatedly:
"No, no, Your Majesty, I'll just take a look."
She didn't want to twist her arm.
Nangong Yu suffered another critical hit and silently put down his bow.
Inner Thoughts: [My heroic presence... no one appreciates it. Wu'er, you've changed!]
System 118:
[Drop! A massive dog-torture scene! Prince Yong and his wife's "loving archery teaching" vs. the Emperor and his wife's "three consecutive polite refusals."]
Damage comparison: Prince Yong's team inflicted 10,000 points of sweet crit damage, while the Emperor's team gained 100 points of embarrassment. Winner: Prince Yong!
In this way, with the sharp contrast between the Nangong Ye group who were playing and fighting and sweet all the way and the Nangong Yu group who were full of resentment and felt aggrieved, the convoy finally arrived at the territory of Yanmao District.
From a distance, you can see the busy scene of the port, with huge ships anchored like giant beasts and their masts like a forest.
The air was filled with a faint smell of the sea and the breath of freedom.
Nangong Yue and Shen Xiaoyun, who had received the news, had already brought their men to wait at the intersection leading to the main urban area.
Nangong Yue was wearing a loose dress. Her figure had almost recovered and her face was filled with happiness and anticipation.
Chen Xiaoyun carefully protected her by her side, holding a delicate little baby wrapped in brocade in his arms.
"Father! Mother! Aunt! Uncle!"
Nangong Yue saw the convoy and waved excitedly.
The carriage stopped, and Dongfang Qiwu was almost the first to jump out. She took a deep breath of the sea breeze, opened her arms, and her face was filled with joy: "I'm finally free!"
"Yu'er! Xiaoyun! We're here!"
Nangong Yu got out of the car and looked at the vibrant new port city in front of him, and then at his wife's bright smile that came from the heart. All the little grievances he had felt along the way suddenly disappeared.
Never mind, as long as Wu'er is happy. He straightened his robes and tried to display the dignity of the retired emperor, although it was a little weak.
Dongfang Yuning was carried off the horse by Nangong Ye, and immediately pounced on Nangong Yue like a little butterfly:
"Yuer! I miss you so much! Ah! Little baby! Come on, let your aunt and grandma hold you!"
She carefully took the little ball from Shen Xiaoyun's arms and teased it, her face full of love.
Nangong Ye walked in front of Shen Xiaoyun, and the two men exchanged a knowing look and lightly bumped their fists.
"Thanks for your hard work."
"With the return of the Emperor's uncle and aunt, Yanmao finally has a real backbone."
Shen Xiaoyun smiled calmly.
Nangong Yu looked at the warm and lively scene in front of him, his daughter and son-in-law, his brother and sister-in-law, and his chubby grandson, and then felt the wind blowing from the port with infinite possibilities. The last trace of nostalgia for the capital in his heart completely disappeared.
He walked to Dongfang Qiwu and naturally took her hand. This time, Dongfang Qiwu did not struggle, but shook his hand back, with the same ease and expectation in her eyes.
The little resentment in Nangong Yu's heart was instantly soothed by this small response.
Well, although I was badly abused on the road, but...the days of freedom have finally begun!
He looked at his younger brother Nangong Ye, who was also looking at him. The two brothers smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
Yanmao District, this vibrant new port city created by their own hands, is opening its arms to welcome its true owner and a new, free and wonderful chapter.
And the vast world belonging to Nangong Yu, the resentful husband of the emperor, has finally officially begun.
As for those heartbreaking memories along the way? Well, consider them the spice of a sweet journey!
