"Don't scream! Don't let others think I'm abusing you," Mei Ya hurriedly looked around to make sure no one was around. Then she let out a breath and lay on Zhong Mingwei again. Looking at the thin red string sticking out of his neck, Mei Ya's face softened immediately. She pulled the red string up a little bit, and a black stone pendant was revealed. Mei Ya held it in her hand. Mei Ya looked at the small pendant that she had worn on her neck and was now worn by Zhong Mingwei. After a long while, she leaned over and kissed the pendant, and whispered to Zhong Mingwei, "Mingwei, your craftsmanship is really good. This is the most beautiful pendant I have ever seen in my life."
"So, just because of this shabby stone pendant, you absolutely look down on the jade jewelry worth thousands of gold that the Kingdom of Annan tributes to you?" Zhong Mingwei couldn't help laughing. He turned over and rested his head on Mei Ya's legs. He also pulled out a black stone pendant from Mei Ya's neck. He put their pendants together, and the two simple half-moon-shaped pendants formed a complete circle. For a moment, both of them looked at the circle with tenderness in their eyes.
"Mingwei, the two of us being together is perfection." Mei Ya said softly, touching the man's forehead.
"Girl, it can actually be even more perfect." Zhong Mingwei said softly to those dark eyes.
"What do you mean?" Mei Ya didn't understand.
"You will understand it soon." Zhong Mingwei said softly. Looking at Mei Ya's face full of strong desire for knowledge, he quickly blocked her mouth before she asked another question.
…
After working for most of the day, it was almost dark and everyone finally sat around the round table. The mutton pot and stewed pork ribs were placed in the center, and there were ten other dishes, all prepared by the three ladies for the sake of perfection and good intentions.
"Master, Madam, I am your humble servant..." Qin Chong picked up the wine glass as soon as he sat down. Before he could finish his words, Zhong Mingwei forced him to sit down.
"I just wanted to make sure everyone felt uncomfortable, so I sent all the palace servants away. No need to be polite," Zhong Mingwei patted Qin Chong's shoulder, and then looked at Gu Qingtong. He personally picked up a piece of reunion cake and put it on the plate in front of Gu Qingtong, and said softly, "Miss Gu, I didn't let you have a good New Year last year, so this year I'll just make up for it."
"Yes, I didn't have a good year last year," Gu Qingtong's eyes suddenly turned red. At this time last year, she had fallen to the lowest point in her life. It was Meiya who had always been by her side that prevented her from getting into a dead end. Zhong Mingwei and Pang Yi had also been busy running around for her. It was with the company of all these people that she has today and has the fate of meeting Qin Chong in the capital. Gu Qingtong poured herself a glass of wine, then held the glass of wine and said to everyone with tears in her eyes, "Master, Madam, Brother Pang, Sister An, Qingtong has always been a dumb talker and a farm girl with little knowledge. I never thought I would be able to have today. Thank you all for taking care of me for so long, and thank God for letting Qingtong have the honor of meeting you all. Qingtong's heart is full of gratitude, but she can't say it, so... it's all in the wine."
After she finished speaking, Gu Qingtong picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Although she was a native Northeastern girl, she had never drunk alcohol. As soon as the wine took a sip, it was so spicy that her brows furrowed, but she still gritted her teeth and drank the whole glass of wine.
"Come, let's have a drink with Sister Qingtong," Meiya also picked up the wine glass and said to the crowd, "Thank you all for your company for such a long time, and thank God for his painstaking arrangements."
At that moment, everyone drank up the wine along with Mei Ya.
"Hurry up and eat, the mutton is very tender," Gu Qingtong asked everyone to start eating. At the same time, he glanced at Pang Yi who was holding the child opposite him and couldn't help but said, "Brother Pang, why don't you call the wet nurse in to coax Xiao Nianqin so that you can eat too?"
"No, no!" Pang Yi was busy shaking his head, patting Xiao Nian with one hand and holding the mutton with the other hand, his movements were quite smooth, "I can coax the baby to eat without delay!"
