Chapter 62: The Heroine's Counterattack 18
The next day, Mrs. Hua specially sent someone to invite A Yan over.
Perhaps it was because Hua He's attitude had changed that Mrs. Hua no longer had the arrogance she had before.
"I heard that He'er held a small Lantern Festival for you last night? This kid, even to his own mother, has never been so attentive. It seems that he has fallen into your hands this time!"
Mrs. Hua looked at A Yan with a smile.
A Yan's face flushed with shyness: "Madam, stop teasing me! Who knows if the Second Young Master really intends to live a good life with this princess this time, or if he just had a quarrel with Yin Xiangyue and came back to find me!"
Madam Hua said angrily, "Of course I really want to live a good life with you. I know my son very well. He was kind to Yin Xiangyue because he misunderstood Yin Xiangyue and thought she was his savior. Now that the truth is out, he should repent!"
"If that's true, this princess would certainly love it!" A Yan said in a low voice.
Mrs. Hua praised: "A family should be harmonious, so that they can last long. If He'er makes you angry again in the future, just come to me for help! That kid has a lively temper and sometimes acts rashly. But don't spoil him. It's important to give birth to a legitimate son for our Hua family as soon as possible!"
As he said this, he tilted his head and glared at Situ who was standing next to him.
Situ lowered her head and said nothing.
A Yan covered her lips and smiled.
After coming out of the main courtyard, Situ quickly caught up with him.
"Princess Ayan."
Situ's face was serious.
Ah Yan nodded at her, took her back to the courtyard, and then asked, "Are you here to see me about that matter?"
Situ asked, "Are you planning to give up your plan?"
Ah Yan was puzzled: "How do you know that?"
Situ frowned. From A Yan's previous performance, it was clear that she was moved by Hua He and decided to grow old with him.
Ah Yan lazily leaned on the couch, "This princess wants to see how far Hua He can go. Don't you think it's funny? He wants to kill me, but for his plan, he has to please me. This princess loves to force people to do things against their will!"
Situ was a smart person. Just by hearing A Yan mention it, she knew what she was planning.
Suddenly, she felt relieved and said helplessly, "I thought this was the princess... but how can that kind of person be worthy of being a princess!"
Ah Yan nodded as a matter of course: "Indeed."
She asked the maid to pour a cup of tea for Situ and said slowly, "Foolish men only focus on women, thinking that women will give up everything for them with just a few sweet words from them. In their eyes, all women are fools who allow themselves to be manipulated by them!"
But when you determine that a person is a fool, you must also admit that you cannot gain greater benefits from the fool!
Smart people will confront each other openly, only fools will tie their heads to their belts!
Situ understood this deeply: "Both brothers think so."
They are indeed blood brothers!
Ah Yan heard her sarcasm and shrugged.
Not long after Situ left, Hua Helai came back.
He brought another gift for Ayan, this time a set of extremely beautiful forehead ornaments. The fiery red gems contrasted particularly well with Ayan's bright features.
Ah Yan gestured at the forehead ornament, smiling: "Do I look good?"
Hua He nodded with a smile: "Of course it is beautiful."
Ah Yan smiled and asked the maid to put away the forehead ornaments. She came over and took Hua He's arm. "Mother said that if you dare to bully me in the future, I will teach you a lesson!"
Hua He said: "There is no need for mother to teach me a lesson. If I let you down, God will punish me. I swore a solemn oath!"
If the oath is effective, why do we need revenge?
Ah Yan pounded his chest, "If you dare to betray me, even if I die, I will drag you down with me and become a pair of ghost mandarin ducks!"
Hua He said reluctantly: "How could I let you down? Okay, stop thinking about it. There will be a Lantern Festival in a few days. I'll take you out to see it?"
Ah Yan grabbed his sleeve tightly, "Okay! I'm going to make a wish. I heard that making wishes during the Lantern Festival is the most effective!"
Hua He chuckled: "Why do you have so many wishes to fulfill?"
"It's not that I have many wishes, it's that I want all the gods to know what my wish is! No matter what, you have to go with me!"
"Okay, I'll go with you!"
Time flies.
Soon it was the Lantern Festival.
A Yan dressed up carefully and waited for Hua He to pick her up.
When the moon was above the willow branches, Hua He hurried back.
His clothes were a little messy, and there was a lip mark on the private part of his neck.
"Sorry, something happened to delay me. Have you been waiting long?"
A Yan looked away as if nothing had happened: "I didn't wait that long! I just waited from the afternoon until dark. If you don't come, I will go with someone else!"
There was a hint of spoiled complaint in her tone.
Hua He was slightly stunned.
Ayan's outfit today is different from usual.
Perhaps she was pleased with his coaxing, so she changed out of her usual Dali-style attire and wore a light red flowered skirt, with her black hair tied into a bun and a peony silk flower lazily pinned behind her ear.
There was a hint of trust in her eyes and eyebrows. At first glance, she was clearly a charming and beautiful woman.
Hua He couldn't remember for a moment, among the countless women he had seen, who could compare to the beauty of the girl in front of him.
Maybe there is none at all.
As if she hadn't waited for his response for a long time, the girl stamped her feet and said in a tender voice: "Hua He, why don't you pay attention to me? Tell me, do you dislike me again?!"
Hua He came back to his senses and suppressed the regret in his heart.
So what if she is as beautiful as a flower?
For the sake of his greater plan, he can give up everything—except Xiangyue, of course!
Even though Xiangyue is not as beautiful as Gusu Ayan, she has a kind heart and is the simplest and kindest woman he has ever met.
Gus Ayan is just a pretty girl with nothing but beauty, how could he fall in love with such a person?
Impossible!
"I was just thinking about how to apologize to the princess later!" Hua He said affectionately.
Ah Yan snorted: "Then you have to buy me a lantern, otherwise I will not forgive you!"
For some reason, Hua He agreed without any consideration: "Okay. I will give you whatever you want!"
Ah Yan then walked to his side with dignity and held out her hand: "Then let's go!"
Hua He held her hand without hesitation.
The female general, who had been in battle for a long time, had a thin layer of calluses on her fingers and a few scars on her palms. Even if she took good care of herself, her skin was still not as white and tender as that of an ordinary girl in the boudoir.
Hua He couldn't help but feel a little pity for her. "When we go to the palace tomorrow, I'll ask the emperor for Jade Muscle Cream for you. I'll apply it on the scar on your palm and it will be gone soon!"
Ah Yan asked, "Do you like girls without scars on their hands?"
