Chapter 32 Reconciliation

Sheng Hong still stood in front of the small courtyard in the northeast corner. Regardless of whether Wei Shuyi was the lucky one or not, he wanted to see her. When the flowers are in bloom, they should be picked immediately, and don’t wait until there are no flowers to pick empty branches. Sheng Hong knocked on the gate of the courtyard. This time, there was movement inside quickly, and someone answered and opened the door. As soon as

Chengzi opened the door, he saw the master standing outside, one hand clenched into a fist and kept hitting the other palm. He stopped when he saw her come out, and wanted to push the door and go in directly, but in the end he thought of something and stopped his hand from pushing the door. Chengzi tilted his head to look at Sheng Hong, and thought he was acting strangely.

"Can I go in?" Sheng Hong asked Chengzi uncertainly, and Chengzi felt even more confused. This is the Sheng Mansion, you are the master, you can go anywhere you want.

Maybe Chengzi's eyes were too straightforward, Sheng Hong understood, he explained, "Is your wife willing to see me?"

Chengzi said "Oh", her mind turned, Sister Parrot seemed to have mentioned that the master was too partial and hurt the wife's heart, she should ask the wife if she wants to see the master.

Chengzi is an honest action person, she does it as soon as she thinks, she said to Sheng Hong "I'll go talk to the wife and see if she is willing to see you", and then ran away.

Mingxi just looked at Chengzi, speechless, "You left the master outside the yard, and then ran in to ask me if I was willing to see him?"

Chengzi nodded with innocent eyes, "Sister Parrot said that the master hurt my heart. I didn't know if I was willing to see the master, so I thought I had to come and ask." Mingxi choked up

, Chengzi was really cute in a silly way, never mind, it's better to be a little silly, at least he puts her first in his heart.

Mingxi was still preparing her words to reply to Chengzi, but the parrot laughed first, "Little Chengzi, just come in and ask. I have to see the master even if I don't want to."

The parrot saw that Chengzi tilted her head to look at her again, as if she didn't understand, so it could only continue to teach her, "You go open the door and see the master. If you don't know whether I want to see the master or not, then you should find a reason, such as saying that I fell asleep. If the master insists on seeing him, you can come and inform me. If I don't want to see him, I can just pretend to be asleep. Since you said you would come in and ask me, then you have informed me. If the master doesn't see me, he will know that I don't want to see him."

Chengzi nodded and concluded, "You mustn't let the master know that I don't want to see him."

The parrot was silent, but it couldn't say she was wrong. It could only say that it knew how to summarize. "Okay, go and invite the master in. Parrot, Lemon, you two should clean up the house quickly." Mingxi was afraid that Sheng Hong would wait outside for a long time, so she urged them.

In the simple and elegant room, the warm winter sun shone through the window lattice and sprinkled on Mingxi's body. She sat there quietly, with a graceful figure and dark hair scattered on her chest, like an exquisite painting. When the sun shone on her delicate porcelain skin, it reflected a light pink, like a peach blossom in its infancy. Without any makeup, she was charming. She looked better with a plain face than with makeup. There was a faint smile on her lips, which was gentle and tough, making people want to get close to her and explore her inner world; her eyes were full of affection, and whoever she looked at would be immersed in her gentleness. Everything around her seemed to become soft and beautiful because of her existence, and even the air was filled with a faint fragrance, which came from her natural body fragrance, still the familiar rose fragrance that Sheng Hong was familiar with, so charming...

Sheng Hong stood there and looked for a long time, so long that Mingxi's face was almost stiff with laughter. She knew that her face was beautiful, but it was not like she had never seen it before, so why did she look at it for so long? Mingxi couldn't pretend anymore, she rubbed her face with both hands, and Sheng Hong's admiration was interrupted. He walked in, "Yier, are you feeling better now? Are the supplements I asked someone to send you before enough? I'll ask someone to send some more!" Sheng Hong's words were still a little unnatural.

Mingxi thought about how he hadn't come to bother him these days, but he had sent him a lot of things, a constant stream of supplements, and occasional jewelry. Mingxi accepted them all, considering that he was thoughtful, in fact, just for the sake of the good things, Mingxi decided to pay attention to him, "I'm fine now, and the ribs that were injured in the fall don't hurt anymore."

"That's good, that's good!" Sheng Hong rubbed his hands back and forth on his legs unconsciously.

"Master, you came here suddenly. Is there something you want to see me about?" Sheng Hong was too uncomfortable, so Mingxi had to take the initiative to find a topic.

"Nothing, nothing, I just wanted to come and see you." Sheng Hong's words came out of his mouth, but they pleased Mingxi. If you want to come and see, just say so. It's not too cruel.

"Master, have you been to the West Courtyard?" Mingxi changed her usual caring and talkative image and asked sharply.

Sheng Hong's hands, which were rubbing his clothes, suddenly clenched, and after a pause, he replied, "I haven't been there. I've been resting in the hospital alone these days and haven't been anywhere."

After that, he sighed again, "I feel that the mansion is getting more and more lonely these days. It's almost the New Year and there's no excitement."

Mingxi knew that this was a trick men often used to pretend to be pitiful, telling how sad their life is without the woman, and using this to show her their innocence and longing for her. In fact, it was just a means of confusing the public by knowing that he was wrong and refusing to admit it.

Mingxi understood, but Mingxi didn't mind cooperating with him. "This winter night is too long, and too cold and lonely. There is a blazing charcoal fire in the house, and two hot water bottles are placed in the quilt, but it still feels a little chilly in the cold night, and can't warm up that small space." Mingxi looked at Shenghong while speaking. Shenghong felt that Mingxi seemed to be expressing her longing for him, but it seemed that there was something else. Was it what he thought?

The two of them pulled back and forth, without saying anything important, and it seemed that everything had been said. Sheng Hong stayed until dinner time. Today was the Little New Year, and it was time for the family to reunite. Mingxi had been claiming to be sick and closed the door to welcome guests. She didn't have to go to the banquet, but Shenghong, as the head of the family, had to be there.

Sheng Hong arrived at the dinner time. When he arrived, the old lady had already sat down. Sheng Hong apologized to the old lady, and the family had a reunion dinner together. During the meal, everyone obviously noticed that the master was in a very high mood today. Sheng Hong encouraged his children as usual, and praised them one by one, and even praised Minglan in particular. After the meal, Sheng Hong held Zhenzhen and teased her for a long time, and he stopped only when Zhenzhen was sleepy.

After the banquet, he insisted on holding Minglan and sending her back. Minglan happily talked to Sheng Hong all the way, basically Sheng Hong asked questions and Minglan answered.

Sheng Hong asked Minglan, "Has your mother been very sad these days? Does she blame daddy for being partial? How did your mother come to her senses and stop blaming daddy?"

Minglan answered one by one, "Mother was very sad at first, she refused to eat and didn't talk. Later she became very angry and blamed herself for being useless. In the end, daddy sent gifts every day, and mother probably felt that daddy still thought about her, and mother really liked daddy, so she stopped being angry!"

Sheng Hong listened to Minglan's little The adults also analyzed Wei Shuyi's changes, and said that Shuyi liked him. They found it funny, so they teased her, "Ming'er, do you know what "like" means?"

Who knew that Minglan actually swore that she knew, "It means that I miss you when I can't see you, just like me to Zhenzhen. Every morning when I wake up, I want to see Zhenzhen first, and I also think of Zhenzhen before I go to bed." Sheng

Hong listened to Minglan's understanding of what "like" meant, and found it more interesting. He also felt that the relationship between the two siblings was good. The father and daughter talked like this all the way. Halfway through, Sheng Hong got tired of carrying Minglan, so he let Minglan get off and walk. He led Minglan back to the small courtyard in the northeast corner.
