Perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way, where I have to ask her opinion before even sitting down to eat. I'm always on edge, afraid that I might accidentally upset my niece and get locked out.
This Mid-Autumn Festival reunion night was the most lively Cheng Qingyan had experienced in many years.
The original owner of this body should be considered a lucky person, having so many relatives who love her.
And she herself is a lucky person. To live two lives, to meet the person she loves in this strange world, to make so many friends, and to live a lively and fulfilling life.
She believes that the regrets from the past have also been resolved here in another way.
After the hustle and bustle subsided, Cheng Qingyan returned to the courtyard where she lived with Ye Lingyu. She lingered there for a long time, her worries practically written all over her face.
Ye Lingyu took a cloak from inside the house and draped it over her shoulders. She had only been awake for a short time, and Ye Lingyu was afraid that something else might happen to her.
"Ayan, what are you thinking about?"
Cheng Qingyan withdrew his gaze from the moon, his eyes filled with tenderness: "My wife, tell me, am I the happiest person in the world?"
Ye Lingyu feigned hesitation: "Hmm... Ayan isn't the happiest person in the world. You, on the other hand, are only the second happiest."
Cheng Qingyan asked, puzzled, "Then tell me, my wife, who is the happiest person in the world?"
For once, Ye Lingyu smiled with a hint of pride, straightening her back as she sat up straight: "Of course it's your wife, me!"
She never expected that Ye Lingyu would be competing with her for first place.
"My wife, I never imagined that one day we would become rivals."
"Ah Yan, you said you're already so lucky and happy to have met me across a thousand years. Then how can I not be happier than you, having received your love that transcends time?"
"Even so, my wife is such a beautiful woman, and I feel that I am the happier one to marry her."
"Okay, our Ayan is the happiest!"
Ye Lingyu didn't want to compete with Cheng Qingyan for first place. She hoped Cheng Qingyan would be happier and more content than she was. All she needed to do was stay by Cheng Qingyan's side and see her happy smile; that would be enough for her.
The bright moon hangs high, its gentle light spilling into the courtyard. Beneath the flowers and the moon, figures stand in pairs.
"My wife, let's never be apart, okay?"
"Okay, we'll never be apart."
No one knows how far forever is, but people hope that feelings can remain unchanged and never separate.
This is a beautiful wish, and I wonder if anyone has ever realized it.
Recalling Ye Lingyu's attitude towards Bai Ruoxuan, Cheng Qingyan leaned on Ye Lingyu's shoulder, looked at the moon from a thousand years ago, and asked her, "Wife, what exactly happened between you and your uncle?"
Before and after dinner, Ye Lingyu's attitude towards Bai Ruoxuan was vastly different from before she fell into a coma. However, Yun Yue and Shen Ziyu didn't seem surprised at all, as if they were already used to it.
These were some of the few remaining relatives her wife had, and she didn't want any misunderstandings to affect her wife's relationship with Bai Ruoxuan's family.
"He doesn't agree with me being with you and wants me to divorce you."
"What?" Upon hearing the word "divorce," Cheng Qingyan immediately stood up.
Okay, okay, okay!
You, Bai Ruoxuan! It's rare for her to speak up for him at night, but who would have thought that he would actually try to steal her wife away? He has some nerve!
Ye Lingyu smiled and reached out to pull Cheng Qingyan down to sit: "Ayan, be careful. You just woke up today, don't get angry again."
“I didn’t want to tell you, but you said I couldn’t keep it from you. You can’t get angry right now; Banxia said you need to rest.”
Rest and recuperation? Hasn't she had enough rest and recuperation during the past month of lying down?
If she stays in bed any longer, this woman will be kidnapped!
That's outrageous! Bai Ruoxuan should be kicked out today! She can't let anyone who covets her wife get away with it.
"Wife, when did he ask you to divorce me?"
"On the day you fell into a coma," Ye Lingyu told the truth.
It turns out that it was at that time, meaning that I only heard half of what I heard.
Cheng Qingyan went from being furious to feeling wronged in just two breaths: "Wife~ you won't listen to his provocations, you won't leave me, will you?"
"Yes, my Ayan is so cute and loves me so much, how could I bear to leave you~"
Hearing what she wanted to hear, Cheng Qingyan's grievances disappeared, replaced by a smile, and she playfully snuggled into Ye Lingyu's arms.
"My wife, give me a hug~"
Okay, hug~
August 15th, autumn has already arrived.
The night air began to cool, and Cheng Qingyan wrapped her cloak around Ye Lingyu. The two snuggled together, sharing secrets that were only between them.
The next day, before Cheng Qingyan could even confront Bai Ruoxuan, he had already set off for another prefecture. It was said that he traveled into the night as soon as the city gates opened.
Cheng Qingyan muttered under her breath, "You're lucky you ran fast, otherwise I'd have dealt with you!"
Shen Ziyu came in from outside and saw Cheng Qingyan saying something resentfully: "Brother Cheng, what are you doing? How are you feeling?"
"I'm checking if Bai Ruoxuan has run far enough~"
"Yes, he's gone far. I was the one who escorted him out of the city." Shen Ziyu looked in the direction Cheng Qingyan was staring at. There were only pedestrians and small vendors on the street, but no sign of Bai Ruoxuan.
Cheng Qingyan looked at Shen Ziyu suspiciously: "What, you didn't know he was trying to kidnap my wife? You sent him away before I could even get revenge. Are you still a good brother?"
Shen Ziyu thought about it seriously for a moment and replied, "Cousin, it seems that we were never really brothers to begin with."
"you!"
Cheng Qingyan wanted to refute, but she couldn't. Because what Shen Ziyu said was the truth; the two of them weren't brothers, they were sisters.
Seeing Cheng Qingyan speechless after being rebuked, Shen Ziyu jokingly teased her, "I saw that you had a very pleasant conversation with Lord Bai yesterday, so I thought you already knew about this matter and had accepted it."
"I didn't mean to have a pleasant conversation with him; I simply didn't know he was plotting to get my wife to divorce me. If I had known he was thinking that way, I wouldn't have dragged my wife to talk to him!"
"Oh~" Shen Ziyu said jokingly, looking at Cheng Qingyan with a half-smile.
Cheng Qingyan felt uneasy being stared at like that. She reached up and touched her face, asking, "What? Is there something dirty on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Shen Ziyu straightened her head and said, "No, it's just that I suddenly remembered that Ruan Ruan is still waiting for me to bring her breakfast, so I won't chat with you anymore."
Only then did Cheng Qingyan notice that Shen Ziyu was carrying something in her hand.
