Chapter 274 Wishful Thinking
In the past six months, Zheng Qibai has been paying attention to Yu Qinghuan's news. He never expected that when they met again, Yu Qinghuan was already pregnant.
He also knew that there were some questions that he couldn't ask, but he just wanted to know, otherwise he might not be able to sleep tonight.
Yu Qinghuan subconsciously looked at Zheng Qingrong, and for a moment, he really didn't know how to respond.
This young man's thoughts are too obvious, and he happens to be Zheng Qingrong's younger brother.
Zheng Qingrong immediately glared at her brother. No matter whether she remarried or not, she was already pregnant. Anyone with some sense should have given up.
She gave Yu Qinghuan a dry laugh, feeling a little embarrassed. "He just has a habit of asking questions all the time. He's curious about everything. Don't pay any attention to him."
Zheng Qibai immediately became unhappy. When did he develop such a problem? How could his elder sister talk nonsense in front of the elder sister of the Yu family and ruin his reputation?
He wanted to argue for himself, but Zheng Qingrong glared at him and he stopped.
Seeing the young master frustrated and with his head hanging, Yu Qinghuan said, "It's okay, it's not a big deal."
"I have no plans to remarry."
Zheng Qingrong was slightly stunned, so the guy in the palace... was just wishful thinking?
Hearing this, Zheng Qibai suddenly looked up, with a glint in his eyes, "It's better not to marry!"
The words he said subconsciously made everyone else stunned.
Zheng Qingrong held her forehead with her hand. She didn't want to take care of her brother anymore. It was too embarrassing, as if he had never seen a beautiful girl.
If she doesn't want to marry you, you have no chance. Why are you so happy?
Yu Qinghuan didn't say anything, but just looked at the young man in front of her twice. He was quite brave. With his sister still here, he didn't know how to hide his thoughts.
In fact, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zheng Qibai regretted it and felt that he was too excited.
His tongue seemed to be tied, and after a long while he managed to utter, "I mean, it's better not to marry than to marry the wrong person."
But just with this sentence, he felt that he had said it wrong, as if he had married the wrong person before he said that to her.
Zheng Qingrong was too lazy to pay attention to her brother. Anyway, Ah Huan didn't even like the one in the palace, so how could he like him? There was nothing to worry about.
Zheng Qibai didn't know what was wrong with him. He kept saying the wrong things today. He obviously didn't want to do that, but when he saw Shangyu Qinghuan's gaze, he became nervous. Because of this nervousness, his mouth trembled and he couldn't think before speaking.
He said the wrong thing over and over again, and now Sister Yu must think he is very abrupt... How embarrassing.
He suddenly didn't dare to speak again, for fear of making more mistakes.
Seeing the young man's handsome face flushed and his hands tightly gripping the chopsticks, Yu Qinghuan smiled and said softly, "Young man, you are absolutely right."
This simple sentence soothed Zheng Qibai's embarrassment of having said the wrong thing just now.
While Zheng Qibai was stunned, he looked at Yu Qinghuan with more enthusiasm. Sister Yu was really kind-hearted.
Zheng Qingrong thought to herself, Ah Huan is such a beautiful and kind person, not to mention her brother, even she, a girl, is almost in love with her.
...
After lunch that day, Zheng Qingrong was called away by Madam Zheng, and Yu Qinghuan sat in the pavilion beside the pond to enjoy the cool air and eat some fruits.
Sang Ru was serving on the side and saw the young master of the Zheng family looking over here frequently from a distance several times.
"Miss, it seems that Mr. Zheng has been secretly watching you."
If this wasn't at the Zheng residence, she would definitely have gone up to Mr. Zheng and argued with him for peeping at her like that on the street. It was really rude.
Yu Qinghuan followed Sang Ru's gaze and happened to meet Zheng Qibai's eyes who was looking at her secretly again.
After being caught peeking, Zheng Qibai's face turned red to his neck and he quickly turned his head away.
Yu Qinghuan suddenly found it interesting, "Sang Ru, go and invite him over."
Sang Ru saw what her girl was thinking, which was to tease Mr. Zheng. But how old was Mr. Zheng? Could he withstand such teasing from the girl?
Although she was worried, she still walked out of the pavilion and headed towards Zheng Qibai.
"Mr. Zheng, my daughter wants to invite you over to talk."
Zheng Qibai was slightly stunned. He looked around and when he confirmed that he was the only Mr. Zheng, it still seemed a little unreal. "Me?"
Sang Ru: “…” Silly and stupid, let alone joking or teasing, I’m afraid that if the girl said a few words, Mr. Zheng would blush.
Zheng Qibai was also looking towards the pavilion, and happened to meet Yu Qinghuan's gaze. Although they were far away, he could still see that Yu Qinghuan was smiling at a glance.
His mind was distracted, his ears were burning, and his feet involuntarily followed Sang Ru towards the pavilion.
It was not until he entered the pavilion and saw the graceful figure leaning against the railing that Zheng Qibai was stunned by the sight of Yu Qinghuan's snow-white arm revealed when her sleeves slipped off.
Sang Ru shook his head repeatedly, thinking that this was another man who was seduced by the girl's beauty.
"Miss, Master Zheng is here."
After bringing Zheng Qibai to the pavilion, Sang Ru retreated outside the pavilion. She could see everything inside the pavilion, but could not hear how the girls bullied Zheng Langjun.
Yu Qinghuan then turned around, leaning lazily against the railing with her back. She raised her beautiful eyes slightly and looked at Zheng Qibai, "Young Master, why are you standing so far away? Do you think I'm some kind of man-eating beast?"
Zheng Qibai suddenly came to his senses and found that he was staring at a piece of arm in a daze. He was a little flustered and took a few steps towards Yu Qinghuan in the pavilion.
Seeing him standing there, clearly nervous, Yu Qinghuan asked jokingly, "Young Master, won't you sit down?"
Zheng Qibai then sat down stiffly, thinking of pouring a cup of tea to quench his thirst, but he unexpectedly knocked over the teacup.
The tea spilled onto the stone table, and he reached out in panic, trying to wipe it with his sleeve.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hand, his wrist was grabbed. He looked up suddenly and met Shangyu Qinghuan's gaze. She was so close that he could even feel the other person's breath. His whole body stiffened, his heart beat like a drum, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
"Sister Yu...what's wrong?"
Yu Qinghuan wanted to laugh, "You wipe it with your sleeve?"
The clothes this young man is wearing are made of the finest brocade. It's such a waste to use them to wipe the tea.
Zheng Qibai was a little annoyed, feeling that he always acted stupidly in front of Yu Qinghuan. He clearly didn't want to be like this, but he couldn't control himself from making mistakes.
Yu Qinghuan took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to him, "Use it."
Zheng Qibai took the handkerchief from her hand and felt that it was just like her, soft and fragrant. He suddenly felt reluctant to use it. He would rather use his sleeve to wipe it.
Seeing him take her handkerchief but hesitate to move, Yu Qinghuan raised her eyebrows, "What's wrong with you?"
Zheng Qibai took the handkerchief, wiped it roughly on the table, and then clenched it in his palm, "Sister Yu, your handkerchief is dirty. Wait for me to wash it and return it to you next time, okay?"
Yu Qinghuan raised the corner of her lips slightly and gave him a handkerchief to wipe the tea on the table, but he didn't even touch it. He just held it in his palm and said he would return it after it was washed.
"Could it be that the young master has taken a fancy to my...handkerchief and doesn't want to return it?"
When his thoughts were exposed, Zheng Qibai's whole body froze, as if he was caught doing something bad. His whole face suddenly burned, and even his ears were red and hot.
