Chapter 178 Extra: Zhou Yi x Nangong Muyan (Part 2)
Nangong Muyan had just returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion when Yinggu called her to the main courtyard. Luo Siyi was waiting for her eagerly. When she saw her come in, she couldn't wait to ask, "Yan'er, how is it?"
There were cakes on the table. Nangong Muyan grabbed a piece of chestnut cake and chewed it slowly, while answering, "What can be done in just one day? People's hearts don't change so quickly. It's more interesting to take it slow."
Luo Siyi listened to this and said disapprovingly, "How can it be slow? You are going to get married in two months. I don't want to see my son-in-law bowing to me unwillingly."
"Mom, don't worry, I'm not in a hurry either..."
The mother and daughter chatted with each other. When it was time for dinner, the maids had set the table. Nangong Ya walked in and looked at Luo Siyi with joy: "Siyi, I have received a reply from Chen Feng. He will be back in a few days."
"That's great!" Luo Siyi, who hadn't seen her son for three years, shouted in surprise. She turned to look at Nangong Muyan: "Yan'er, did you hear that? Your brother is back to attend your wedding."
Nangong Muyan also pretended to be happy: "I heard it, I heard it. Brother is coming back. That's great!"
Alas, what's the point of coming back? She has already messed up the role of a good daughter. Does she have to play the role of a good sister again?
Nangong Muyan thought sadly.
Nangong Ya and Luo Siyi were all smiling because of the news that Nangong Chenfeng was going home. Nangong Muyan finished her meal with him and was about to go back to her yard, but was stopped by the couple and told.
"Yan'er, don't forget to go find Zhou Yi tomorrow. You have to be persistent in this kind of thing and let him see your feelings." Luo Siyi said earnestly.
"But you have to be careful about the degree. You still have to be reserved like a woman." Nangong Ya added.
"Don't act like a lady and wait for others to serve you. Occasionally, you can pour him a cup of tea or pick up a dish, so that he can see your virtuous, gentle and considerate side..."
"Remember not to be tempted by beauty anymore. You are pregnant now. The fetus is unstable in the first three months. There are some things you must not do!"
When Nangong Ya said this bluntly, Luo Siyi and Nangong Muyan were stunned.
"Why are you saying this? Yan'er is not stupid!" Luo Siyi poked Nangong Ya with his elbow and complained.
"I think she is capable of doing such a thing..." Nangong Ya explained.
Seeing that the two were talking more and more outrageous, Nangong Muyan quickly said: "Oh, Dad, Mom, I'm so sleepy, I want to go back to sleep."
Without waiting for them to say anything, Nangong Muyan took Xiaoru to her yard.
It was dark, Xiaoru walked in front of Nangong Muyan with a lantern, lighting the way for her.
When they were almost in front of the main house, Xiaoru was about to open the door and light the lamp, Nangong Muyan stopped her: "You go back to the house to rest first, and ask them to bring hot water in half an hour."
Xiaoru replied "yes", handed the lantern to Nangong Muyan, and turned to a small house next to it.
Nangong Muyan glanced at the scattered leaves on the steps, pushed open the door and walked in. It was no surprise that she saw Jiang Ning sitting in the room.
"You made a terrible mark." Nangong Muyan complained as she turned on the light.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can understand it." Jiang Ning replied indifferently.
"What do you want to see me for?" After turning on the light, Nangong Muyan sat down at the table and asked Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning didn't hide anything and went straight to the point: "What did you do to Zhou Yi again?"
"What did you do?"
"He went to Liu Ming'an to drink again and called you a bastard. You must have done something."
Nangong Muyan suddenly laughed out loud. How could this Zhou Yi be so funny? He got angry with her and ran to Liu Ming'an for comfort.
"You're still laughing?" Jiang Ning didn't understand: "Didn't you tell me that you and Zhou Yi would treat each other with respect and be a couple on paper and raise children? What's wrong with you bullying him now?"
"I didn't bully him," Nangong Muyan thought of Zhou Yi's reaction when he was teased, and laughed: "I just kissed him."
Jiang Ning frowned and could almost guess what happened: "Zhou Yi is a very simple person. If you don't like him, don't tease him. Isn't it better to live in peace?"
"Sister-in-law, don't be so fierce~" Nangong Muyan poured a glass of water for Jiang Ning with a playful smile.
Since Jiang Ning gave up the identity of Nangong Ling, she followed Zhou Yi and called her sister-in-law. It's interesting to change from sister to sister-in-law.
"I'm talking to you seriously," Jiang Ning took the water and drank two sips, her expression a little serious: "Zhou Yi is unlucky to meet you. No matter how much you like to play tricks on others, there must be a limit."
Nangong Muyan looked at Jiang Ning steadily for a while, and after a moment, she smiled with her hands covering her lips: "In the past, I was the one who taught you and explained the truth to you. I didn't expect that after coming to this world, we have the opposite. It's really interesting!"
"You are talking about something else. You also use such a low-level rhetoric on me. Don't you really think that pregnancy makes people stupid for three years?"
"Uh..." Nangong Muyan was speechless for a moment.
Jiang Ning actually didn't know how to persuade Nangong Muyan. She was not good at doing this kind of thing. This person has been playing with the world in a cynical way for a long time. It is estimated that it is difficult for him to change his mentality because of a few words from her.
"Don't hurt Zhou Yi, he is innocent after all, and he has never let you down."
In the end, Jiang Ning could only warn like this.
Nangong Muyan nodded hurriedly, and waited until Jiang Ning pushed the door and left before she sighed and lay on the table.
Why are they all teaching her how to do things? Not to mention Luo Siyi and Nangong Ya, now even Jiang Ning has to say a few words to her, this life is really...
Alas~ Zhou Yi is still the most fun.
Because of the contrast of these three people, Nangong Muyan realized more and more how good Zhou Yi was, so the next morning, after breakfast, she couldn't wait to run to Junyue Restaurant.
Zhou Yi had just finished breakfast and was a little surprised to see her coming: "You came so early?"
"I really missed you too much."
Nangong Muyan said with a smile, staring at her, successfully making Zhou Yi's face turn ugly.
"Don't say these weird things every day, can you be more normal?"
Seeing that Zhou Yi was a little annoyed, Nangong Muyan quickly changed the subject: "Are your uncle and aunt not here today?"
"They went to the farm."
"Does your family have a manor?"
"Yes, there are several in the suburbs of Beijing." Seeing that she seemed interested, Zhou Yi added a few more words: "These manors are linked to the shops, brewing wine, spinning, growing fruits and vegetables, raising chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, cattle and sheep, etc."
"Wow~ really amazing!" Nangong Muyan sighed sincerely, no wonder Zhou Yi kept calculating every day.
Hearing this compliment, Zhou Yi looked at Nangong Muyan's bright eyes, and felt inexplicably happy: "If you like, you can go and play for a few days. I'll say hello to them and let them treat you well."
Then don't bother me. Zhou Yi added in his heart.
How could this little thought be hidden from Nangong Muyan?
Grabbing Zhou Yi's sleeve, Nangong Muyan smiled deeply: "Then I want you to accompany me"
"I'm very busy, go by yourself." Zhou Yi said, pulling back his sleeve.
"Are you so busy?" Nangong Muyan didn't believe it.
"Yes, I can't leave for a moment."
"Oh, can't leave for a moment?" Nangong Muyan raised her eyebrows slightly, and mercilessly exposed his lie: "Then how did you have time to go fishing before?"
The person who was originally fine suddenly turned cold after hearing this, and his voice became hard: "Don't go."
After Zhou Yi said this, no matter how Nangong Muyan talked to him, he didn't say a word, just concentrating on calculating his own accounts.
Alas, it's frustrating, Nangong Muyan looked at Zhou Yi with a stern face and thought worriedly, making others react to the word fishing, she is really sinful!
The early spring sun shone in through the window. Nangong Muyan propped up her chin and stared at Zhou Yi intently. Zhou Yi was flipping through the account book without raising his head, and his other hand was "clacking" with an abacus.
Nangong Muyan looked for a while, and then she felt sleepy. She fell asleep with her arm as a pillow, just like yesterday.
Zhou Yi was naturally sensitive to being stared at by someone, but he didn't want to pay attention to this person anymore, so he simply buried his head in the account book and abacus, hoping to be out of sight.
Until a certain moment, Zhou Yi seemed to have sensed something, and looked up, and the man was sleeping soundly on the table again.
After a little hesitation, Zhou Yi still stood up and walked to the table. With yesterday's experience, he had given up the idea of waking Nangong Muyan up, and directly carried her to the next room. He
put her on the bed gently, and before Zhou Yi withdrew his hand, a force suddenly came from the front of his clothes. He was caught off guard, and his upper body sank down, hitting Nangong Muyan squarely. His lips rubbed across her cheek and finally hit her ear.
A light "chuckle" came from his ear. Zhou Yi pressed against that soft body and could feel Nangong Muyan's body shaking slightly with this laughter.
Zhou Yi hurriedly got up and stepped back five steps to the bed. The sleeping person had already opened his eyes and tilted his head to look at him, smiling like a cat that stole some fish: "Zhou Yi, you kissed me." "
Nangong Muyan! You, you, you..."
Zhou Yi was so angry that he wanted to curse, but then he thought that this person was pregnant with his child, so he couldn't curse at all. He could only wipe his mouth with his hand angrily.
"Well, I am a bastard."
Nangong Muyan completed his words generously, raised her hand to touch the place on her face that was rubbed, and looked at Zhou Yi with a smile: "You can curse me in front of me, I don't mind, don't go to Liu Mingan to drink anymore, drinking too much is harmful to your body."
Zhou Yi was stunned, how did she know that he went to Liu Mingan? And this last sentence, is it caring?
Nangong Muyan yawned while hugging the quilt, a layer of mist appeared in her eyes, and her voice was vague: "I'm going to sleep first, don't forget to call me for dinner later."
The words he wanted to ask were stuck in his throat. Zhou Yi looked at the person who had closed her eyes, and always felt that his emotions were provoked by her. Nangong Muyan was always smiling and talking, and it was easy to make him angry to death.
After standing there for a while, Zhou Yi turned around helplessly and walked out. After taking two steps, he found that the window was wide open, and turned back to close the window, leaving only a small gap.
Anyway, I will never hug her again tomorrow.
Zhou Yi went back to the next room, thinking about the abacus while swearing in his heart.
The next day, Nangong Muyan stepped into the accounting office and saw a bed in the middle of the room. She almost bent over with laughter.
"Hahahaha... Zhou Yi, why are you... Hahaha..."
Nangong Muyan laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She squatted on the ground holding the door, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Why is there a person like Zhou Yi in the world? He is so cute!
Zhou Yi looked at her quietly with a dark face, wondering in his heart why there is a person like Nangong Muyan in the world who can go crazy anytime and anywhere.
In addition to the desk where Zhou Yi sat when he was doing the accounting, there was originally a table in the accounting office. It was for the convenience of his parents to come over and check the accounts together. Nangong Muyan slept on it the past two days.
Now the table was moved away and replaced with a bed. The whole room suddenly seemed much more crowded, especially because the bed was a jade sandalwood carved imperial concubine couch with a purple and pink gauze curtain and a light blue quilt printed with rattan and loquat branches, which was out of place in the room.
Nangong Muyan laughed until tears came out. Zhou Yi tried to hold back again and again, but finally couldn't stand it anymore. He got up and walked to the door, pulled the person up from the ground, pulled him to the bed, and said coldly: "You sleep here."
Nangong Muyan nodded quickly, not wanting to let down the other person's kindness.
"Behave yourself, don't do those tricks anymore."
Nangong Muyan nodded again, took off her shoes, lifted the quilt, and lay down on the bed, looking like she was going to sleep obediently.
Seeing that she recognized him, Zhou Yi's expression eased a little and his tone became much softer: "Go to sleep, I will call you when it's time to eat."
Nangong Muyan lay on the bed, looked up at him, her eyes full of tiny smiles: "Okay, okay~"
Zhou Yi put down the gauze curtain that was lifted up beside the bed, and after returning to his desk, he began to do the things at hand.
For some reason today, Nangong Muyan couldn't fall asleep after having a bed. There was always a little excitement in her heart that she couldn't explain. This feeling made her a little excited. She just lay on her side, secretly lifted a corner of the gauze curtain, and stared at Zhou Yi for most of the day without moving, and she was no longer sleepy. When
the time was almost up, Zhou Yi came to call her for lunch. She pretended to be asleep and was woken up by him. After eating, she continued to stare at people with pleasure.
The day passed peacefully. After Nangong Muyan was picked up by Li Jiu and Jin Hui, Zhou Yi looked at the bed and thought that he was so smart.
Although when he bought the bed, the waiters and the shopkeeper Uncle Li of Junyue Restaurant gave him strange and meaningful looks, Zhou Yi felt that it was worth it when he thought about this smooth day!
After seeing Nangong Muyan off, Zhou Yi had a happy dinner. As soon as he returned to the cashier's office, he saw his parents standing by the door, staring at the bed in the room, with uncertain expressions on their faces, which was frightening.
"Dad, Mom, you're back, listen to me..."
Zhou Yi greeted them awkwardly. This scene was indeed misleading. Just when he was about to explain, Zhou Zhili raised his hand and slapped him on the back, frowned and glared at him, angrily scolding: "You dead boy! Are you so anxious? There are so many rooms and you are not willing to walk a few more steps? You have to make trouble in the accounting office?"
Hong Yuanping also kicked him on the leg: "I'm still pregnant, and you are obsessed with women to the point of being worse than beasts? You are a useless thing!"
Zhou Yi felt aggrieved and wanted to cry.
