After leaving Yuheng County, the carriage that Hua Qingcheng and her group were riding in headed towards Youzhou.
The carriage was unusually quiet. Han Yichen sometimes stared at Hua Qingcheng who was sitting in the middle, and sometimes looked at Mu Lige who was sitting on her left.
Suddenly, Han Yichen narrowed his narrow eyes and broke the silence with a half-smile: "Brother, you really have a heart of stone! Gongsun Yuyao is your childhood sweetheart, after all, and you didn't even look at her..."
Hua Qingcheng, who had been resting with her eyes closed, slowly opened them upon hearing this and turned her head to look at Mu Lige beside her. Her beautiful eyes were as calm as water, yet seemed to hold a hint of scrutiny.
"Ahem~" Mu Lige, who was instantly burned by the knife, first cleared his throat awkwardly, then glanced at Han Yichen leisurely, and then said slowly: "Men and women should not touch each other. I am a married man, so naturally I cannot get close to a woman other than me."
After saying that, Mu Lige immediately regained his calm demeanor and closed his eyes to rest, as if no one and nothing could stir up any waves in his heart.
Seeing this, Hua Qingcheng's lips curled slightly, and an intoxicating smile spread across her face. Hua Qingcheng naturally trusted Mu Lige, but hearing this man say this, she was also very happy in her heart.
Han Yichen curled his lips slightly. It seemed that it was not easy to make fun of his elder brother, because this man was so perfect, absolutely impeccable...
However, just when Hua Qingcheng and Han Yichen thought the matter was over, Mu Lige slowly opened his eyes, cast his gaze towards Han Yichen, and said seriously, "Meng family Haoling is so handsome, pure and lovely, and third brother...are you not attracted at all?"
"Ah?!!" Han Yichen, who was suddenly exposed, felt as if struck by lightning when he heard the words.
Back then, Hua Qingcheng brought Situ Ye and Si Chengfeng to Beijing to propose marriage. After Hua Qingcheng's identity as a princess came to light, Mu Lige was worried that Hua Qingcheng would be in danger. Because he had to take Yu Xiaotian to Xuanyi Valley to remove the poison, he asked Han Yichen to ride Xiangyun Horse to Beijing to find his wife.
However, Han Yichen's striking good looks attracted the attention of disciples from the Jade Maiden Sect of the Rakshasa Clan. Later, to make life easier, he resorted to disguising himself as a woman, still using the name Hua Qingcheng. Unexpectedly, after accidentally saving Mr. Meng, he stole the heart of the innocent young man Meng Haoling, and thus ignited a romantic scandal for Hua Qingcheng.
"Brother, this... this is a misunderstanding." Han Yichen looked at Mu Lige with a sad face, but the other party just closed his eyes.
Then, he turned his gaze to Hua Qingcheng again, "Xiao Qingcheng, your third brother absolutely does not have a homosexual tendency. You are the only one in my heart!"
It was rare for Hua Qingcheng to see Mu Lige joking seriously. She suppressed the corners of her mouth that were about to turn upward, pretending to be hurt, and said leisurely, "Achen, if... if you really like the idiot from the Meng family, this palace... this palace will grant your wish!"
"Little Allure~"
Han Yichen curled his lips and looked at Hua Qingcheng with a look of resentment. At this moment, he inexplicably missed Si Huli, simply because that guy couldn't win an argument with him.
(Si Chengfeng: I was just giving in to you... You're already an adult, yet you're still acting like a child.)
It was noon, the sun was scorching, and Hua Qingcheng and her group and their entourage finally arrived at King You's mansion in Youzhou.
As soon as she stepped into the mansion, Hua Qingcheng couldn't wait to rush to Haitangyuan to visit Hua Rongsheng's wife and husband and Hua Qingguo.
"Dad, Mom, and my little Qingguo, I'm back!"
Hua Qingcheng walked into the house and first greeted Hua Rongsheng and Ye Maochun, then carefully picked up Hua Qingguo who was sleeping beside Ye Maochun.
After all, she hadn't seen her brother for nearly ten days. Hua Qingcheng did not hide her longing for him at this moment, and kissed the little guy's pink and tender face again and again.
Bai Yuheng, now a baby, blushed at Hua Qingcheng's gentle caress and affectionate gestures. He stared at the woman before him with his large, round black eyes, a look filled with innocence and confusion. He looked innocent, adorable, and extremely well-behaved.
Ye Maochun, who was leaning against the headboard of the bed, was delighted when he saw his daughter return, but he immediately began to complain to her, "Qingcheng, you're finally back. During the time you and Li Ge were away, your brother was always crying and making a fuss, disturbing us all. Your father's ears were almost hurt by his noise!"
"Who said it wasn't true?" Hua Rongsheng, who was standing by, couldn't help but chime in and complained, "When your mother hugs him, he even pees in my arms! This precious son of your father and me was born into our family just for you and Li Ge!"
At this moment, Hua Qingguo, the Baiyuheng brand, who was being held in Hua Qingcheng's arms, felt his originally rosy cheeks instantly turn hot after hearing what Ye Maochun and Hua Rongsheng said. Fortunately, he was just a crying baby, so no matter what he did, he would be forgiven.
As expected, after Hua Qingcheng heard the complaints of her father Ye Maochun and mother Hua Rongsheng, she looked down at the adorable little creature in her arms, a doting smile spreading across her lips as she softly said, "Little Qingguo, little Qingguo, are you planning on relying on me? However, since you're so well-behaved and adorable, I'll have no choice but to... let you rely on me for the rest of your life!"
As Hua Qingcheng finished speaking, the room was immediately filled with cheerful laughter.
Mu Lige said with a smile: "Qingguo is about a month and a half younger than Longlong and Fengfeng, but he became an uncle the moment he was born. This little guy will definitely be amazing in the future!"
Han Yichen also came forward, looking at the little one lying comfortably in Hua Qingcheng's warm embrace, and for some reason, he felt a little jealous. He said sourly, "That's right, people who don't know would think Qingguo was born by the young wife and the eldest brother!"
Smelling the jealousy in the air, Hua Qingcheng turned to look at Han Yichen, a trace of helplessness on her face. She said with a smile: "Achen, Qingguo is only one month old. It's understandable to give him some more care and attention."
Hearing Hua Qingcheng say this, the little guy glanced at Han Yichen leisurely, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Han Yichen keenly caught Hua Qingguo's fleeting look of contempt and couldn't help but feel surprised. He had an inexplicably strange feeling: that is... he seemed to be despised by a one-month-old baby?
