Chapter 181 Extra: Zhou Yi x Nangong Muyan (V)
Nangong Muyan chased Zhou Yi all the way to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Zhou Yi, why are you in such a hurry to go back?"
Nangong Muyan grabbed Zhou Yi's sleeve and asked knowingly.
Zhou Yi's eyes were dodging, and he didn't dare to look directly into Nangong Muyan's eyes. He still said the same words: "I have something important to do, I must go back."
Nangong Muyan laughed secretly at this awkward and hypocritical look. Why is Zhou Yi so popular?
Nangong Muyan tried to make her voice calmer and reminded gently: "Okay, then take care." You
can't be aggressive now. In this case, you should give Zhou Yi some time to slow down.
Zhou Yi thought they would continue to flirt with each other for a while, but he didn't expect Nangong Muyan to be normal for once. She immediately pulled back her sleeves as if she had been pardoned, and ran out of the house without looking back.
Nangong Muyan watched him walk away, and only returned to the living room happily when he turned a corner and disappeared.
Three pairs of eyes were staring at her as she walked in. Nangong Chenfeng was enjoying the excitement and said with a teasing look on his face: "It seems that what you told me about your love and affection was fake. Your brother-in-law is obviously avoiding you. Tsk tsk tsk!"
Nangong Ya snorted coldly: "You don't have any girl's reserve! Where did you learn the rules before?"
Luo Siyi asked worriedly: "Yan'er, I asked you to find Zhou Yi and fall in love with him, why does he seem to be more resistant to you than before?"
Nangong Muyan raised her eyebrows, then raised her hand, revealing the white jade bracelet on her wrist, and shook it at the three of them, her face full of smiles: "Dad, Mom, brother, do you think my bracelet is pretty?"
The three of them were stunned at the same time.
Without waiting for their response, Nangong Muyan smiled and said, "This is Zhou Yi's birthday gift for me~"
Nangong Ya, Luo Siyi, Nangong Chenfeng: "..."
Who asked her?
"There are flowers carved on it. Zhou Yi said that this is the Muyan flower from Dongling Country. Mu for Rimu and Yan for Nangong Muyan. Isn't it very thoughtful?" There was
a moment of silence in the room.
Nangong Muyan was not affected by their indifference at all. She just wanted to find a few people with ears to share the joy in her heart. She didn't necessarily need to respond.
"Zhou Yi doesn't like me that much now, but..." Nangong Muyan paused, and said firmly: "It's only a matter of time!"
After talking to herself, Nangong Muyan touched the bracelet and turned to walk out: "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm sleepy and I'm going back to sleep."
Nangong Muyan left here briskly. After a while, Nangong Chenfeng looked at his parents with complicated expressions and laughed.
After three years of not seeing each other, his sister is getting more and more interesting. Yesterday, he didn't believe what Jin Yao and Jin Hui said about her making the Prime Minister's Mansion a mess, but now it seems that it is probably true.
This laugh attracted the attention of the couple. Nangong Chenfeng saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately ran away: "Dad, Mom, I have an appointment with Minister Pei of the Ministry of War to drink together. I'm leaving first."
"Ah..."
After a long time, the couple looked at each other and sighed helplessly.
"She was so happy with a bracelet. We have a lot of them in the warehouse, but she didn't take any?" Nangong Ya felt a headache when he thought of Nangong Muyan's look of touching the bracelet as if it were a treasure. "
What do you know? It's not that the bracelet is so good, but that the bracelet was given by Zhou Yi!" Luo Siyi is also a woman, so she naturally understands her daughter's thoughts.
"Yan'er has been completely fooled by Zhou Yi. Even if Zhou Yi pulls two pieces of grass from the roadside and braids one for her, she will probably put it on her hands happily."
Nangong Ya felt a little sad when he heard this. Is his precious daughter so humble for a man?
"Why does she like the boy from the Zhou family so much? But he doesn't like her. She is always trying to please him. If this gets out, I, the prime minister, will be embarrassed."
"Who knows? Oh, forget it. I can't control it. Let her be. Anyway, she enjoys it. Her children and grandchildren will have their own blessings..."
Nangong Muyan didn't know that her "show of affection" made Nangong Ya and Luo Siyi sigh for a while. She went straight back to the house, threw herself on the bed, and rolled around with the quilt for a few times, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.
It seemed as if there was a rabbit jumping around in her heart, making her restless.
She lay on her back on the bed, raised her hand, and stared at the bracelet on her wrist in the faint light coming through the bed curtain. The smile on her face never faded.
"Zhou Yi..."
She missed him in just a cup of tea.
After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhou Yi, who she was thinking about, hurried back to his house on Xichun Road.
Although his family had houses all over the capital, Zhou Zhili and Hong Yuanping lived in Xichun Road most of the time. It was the old house left by his grandfather. It was very convenient to go to Junyue Restaurant or his shops.
As for the houses in other places in District 4 and Street 8, they bought them at low prices when the original owners were eager to sell them. When someone else wanted to buy the house, they would sell it at a high price and make a profit. It doesn't matter if it can't be sold, the house is there and it won't go away.
When Zhou Yi returned home, Hong Yuanping and Zhou Zhili had finished lunch and were chatting on the garden lounge chairs to digest their food. After running around for days, the couple had a rare chance to relax, and they were in a good mood when they saw their son.
"Didn't you go to celebrate your daughter-in-law's birthday?" Hong Yuanping joked with a smile.
They all knew that Zhou Yi had rushed to four or five jewelry and gold shops yesterday to choose a gift for someone.
Zhou Yi glanced at his mother and muttered, "I came back after congratulating you." Without stopping for a moment, he rushed into his own yard.
"Hey, what's the attitude of this damn boy!"
Hong Yuanping slapped the armrest of the chair and was about to stand up, but Zhou Zhili quickly stopped her.
"Hey, don't be angry, don't be angry. Seeing him like this, I guess he was bullied by my daughter-in-law. You also know that our daughter-in-law is more...well, more lively. She might be happy and do something to my son..."
Hong Yuanping heard it, and it was true. How could they, as merchants, have anything to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion? Wouldn't it be a loss to Nangong Muyan's "liveliness"?
"I think my son seems unhappy. Should I go and ask him? We can't just let him be bullied, right?"
The anger on Hong Yuanping's face turned into worry. She looked in the direction of Zhou Yi's yard, unable to make up her mind, and could only ask her husband.
Zhou Zhili patted her hands, with a calm face: "Don't worry, let's not interfere in the affairs of young people, let him decide for himself."
Zhou Yi returned to the room, drove away the maid who was cleaning the room, closed the door, sat at the table, took the teapot and poured a glass of water, "gulp gulp" and swallowed it, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Standing up and walking to the bed, Zhou Yi fell on the bed without taking off his shoes. The thick and soft quilt under him supported him, which made him relax a little. He could finally think about what happened in the past half day.
"Zhou Yi, I like the gift you gave me, and I like you too..."
"And I like you too..."
"I like you too..."
"Like..."
Nangong Muyan's whisper in his ear was like a spell in his mind. Zhou Yi pounded his head, trying to get rid of the words, but it was all in vain.
Even as time passed, he could still recall the trembling of his skin caused by the hot air spraying in his ears when Nangong Muyan said this.
And the kiss before she said this...
Zhou Yi touched his lips blankly, and there seemed to be a warm, moist breath on them, the breath of Nangong Muyan.
He was in a trance and recalled that day again. He was under the cold water of Jinse Lake, watching Nangong Muyan break free from his hand. He thought she was drowning, so he put his lips on hers and breathed a few times for her.
Obviously, they were both lips touching, why did the feelings he felt these two times were so different?
Was it because the water of Jinse Lake was too cold?
But later, Nangong Muyan pulled him to the guest house, and she also used her lips and tongue to arouse his desire on the bed, forcing him to have sex with her, but he only felt sad and angry at the time?
What was the difference?
Zhou Yi couldn't figure it out.
The only thing he could be sure of was that Nangong Muyan really liked him!
His previous plan of the two of them living in peace and raising children was impossible to realize.
"What should I do..."
Zhou Yi asked himself while staring at the bed curtains above his head. His mind was full of thousands of thoughts, like a tangled ball of threads that he couldn't cut or sort out.
When he thought that Nangong Muyan would come to see him tomorrow, and most likely hug him and kiss him, he felt panicked.
Zhou Yi thought about it and finally made up his mind. He suddenly jumped up from the bed and ran out in a hurry.
No matter what, he had to go out and hide!
So the next day, Nangong Muyan pushed open the door of the accounting office and saw Zhou Zhili sitting behind the desk and using an abacus.
"Uncle, where is Zhou Yi?" Nangong Muyan asked with a sweet smile.
"Hahaha... he has something to do and is not here. How about I arrange someone to take you home?"
"Where did he go? I'll go find him."
"He went to Sangye Town outside Beijing. There is a farm of my family there. It's more than a hundred miles away from Beijing."
"Why did he go there?"
"That damn kid! He said that he has a headache, backache and eye pain from counting the accounts recently, so he wants to go there to travel and have a rest for a while."
"When will he come back?"
"Probably ten days or half a month."
Zhou Zhili's tone was a little complaining when he said this. The little brat ran away without saying a word and left all the things to him.
"Okay, I got it," Nangong Muyan smiled and said goodbye to Zhou Zhili politely, "Uncle, you are busy, I will go home first."
"Okay, I will find two waiters to take you."
Zhou Zhili only thought that this daughter-in-law was beautiful and sensible, noble but not arrogant, and he couldn't understand why Zhou Yi didn't like her. But what he didn't see was that when Nangong Muyan walked out of the cashier's office, there was no smile on her face, and her eyes were full of terrifying coldness.
You are so good, Zhou Yi!
Nangong Muyan's mind was filled with dark and obsessive thoughts. She wanted to tie up that man, break his legs, and make him unable to escape for the rest of his life...
"Young Madam, the master asked us to take you back to the mansion."
A man's voice sounded behind her. Nangong Muyan took a deep breath, suppressed her disturbing thoughts, and looked back. They were two waiters from the Junyue Restaurant.
"Thank you."
"Young Madam, you are too polite. Let's go."
Nangong Muyan returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and went directly to the side yard to find where the guards lived.
"Li Jiu, come with me to Sangye Town."
Nangong Muyan didn't know the way, and she was pregnant, so it was impossible for her to go to find Zhou Yi alone. She had to find a guard to follow her, so that it would be convenient for her and Nangong Ya and Luo Siyi would feel at ease.
Among these guards, Li Jiu, who knew medicine, was the best choice.
Li Jiu replied "yes" and turned to find Lao Zhong to prepare the carriage. Sheng Jing, who was standing aside, always felt that something was wrong, so he went to the main courtyard to inform Luo Siyi.
When the carriage stopped in front of the gate and Nangong Muyan was about to get on the car, Luo Siyi ran over with Ying Gu, panting: "Yan'er, Yan'er, what are you going to do in Sangye Town? Why are you leaving without saying hello? Are you going to make your parents anxious to death?"
Li Jiu, who was sitting on the carriage, was startled when he heard this. Damn, it turned out that the wife didn't know about this!
"Mom, I'm sorry."
Nangong Muyan felt a little guilty. She was so focused on finding Zhou Yi that she forgot about this.
"What did you go to Sangye Town for?" Luo Siyi asked.
"Well... to find Zhou Yi." Nangong Muyan hesitated for a moment, but chose to tell the truth.
"Did Zhou Yi run away?"
"Yes."
"He wants to escape from marriage?"
"He dares!"
Luo Siyi understood. It was probably because Nangong Muyan was too passionate and pestered Zhou Yi every day, so he hid away to avoid the limelight.
"Yan'er, why don't we not go? It's too embarrassing."
Luo Siyi tried to persuade Nangong Muyan hesitantly. She had always doted on Nangong Muyan, but now she couldn't stand it.
"Mom, I want to go!" Nangong Muyan was unmoved.
She couldn't see Zhou Yi for ten days or half a month. What a joke! Nangong Muyan touched the bracelet on her hand and thought, Zhou Yi is the one she wants!
"You are still pregnant. The journey is bumpy. Mom is worried about you."
"So I asked Li Jiu to go with me."
Nangong Muyan glanced at Li Jiu and winked at him. Li Jiu understood and immediately replied: "Don't worry, ma'am. I will take good care of the young lady and ensure that she is safely sent to her aunt."
Luo Siyi sighed, turned around and walked to the car door, lifted the curtain and looked inside, then turned back and told Yinggu: "Go and get two thick quilts. The seat is too hard and uncomfortable."
Yinggu acted immediately. Luo Siyi pulled Nangong Muyan and reminded her: "Don't worry, Yan'er. I'll ask the kitchen to pack some food for you and you can eat it on the way." There was really
no rush at the moment. Nangong Muyan nodded and waited for everything to be arranged. Half an hour later, the carriage set off under Luo Siyi's concerned gaze.
The carriage was moving very slowly. At this speed, it would take until sunset to reach Sangye Town. Nangong Muyan lay in the quilt, touching the bracelet on her hand and feeling sleepy.
Zhou Yi, you can't escape.
This was the last thought of Nangong Muyan before she fell asleep.
