Chapter 299 How could I bully Xiao Yueer?
Lan Xiyue's eyes were fixed on Dongfang Ming who was about to return to Miaojiang. She felt mixed emotions. This trip of Dongfang Ming back to Miaojiang was bound to be extremely dangerous, but at the moment, she couldn't go to Miaojiang with him.
"Be careful when you go back."
Dongfang Ming raised the corners of his lips slightly when he heard this, and a playful light flashed in his deep eyes, "Xiao Yue'er, are you concerned about me?" There was a hint of teasing in his words, but also a hint of imperceptible warmth.
Lan Xiyue rolled her eyes upon hearing this and pretended to be angry, "Yeah, I'm afraid the brother I just recognized will die."
Dongfang Ming's smile widened. He hid the complex emotions in his eyes and chuckled softly, "Xiao Yue'er has recognized me as her brother. Naturally, I must live well. I still have to protect my sister in the future. How could I let myself fall into danger so easily?"
Dongfang Ming changed the subject, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes. "It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to attend Xiao Yue'er's wedding in time."
Lan Xiyue smiled upon hearing this and said, "The wedding date hasn't been set yet. Besides, a wedding is just a ceremony. When you've settled your affairs in Miaojiang, come to Dongyao Nation and I'll treat you to a drink. If I settle my affairs first, I'll go to Miaojiang."
Dongfang Ming raised his head and looked at Lan Xiyue with deep eyes, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance deeply in his heart.
"Okay, I'll wait for Xiao Yue'er. If Xiao Yue'er doesn't come to Miaojiang soon, I'll first settle the affairs of Miaojiang and then come to Dongyao Country to ask Xiao Yue'er for some wine."
Lan Xiyue held her chin with both hands and said "hmm". It was a pity that she couldn't take the strange old man back to see what Miaojiang looked like now. After she had resolved all the problems and had no worries, she would take the strange old man to see what Miaojiang looked like now. She didn't know if the strange old man had been reincarnated.
Dongfang Ming curled his lips and smiled, "Even if it's just for Xiao Yue'er to come to Miaojiang and have a peaceful time, I will solve the problems in Miaojiang and prevent myself from getting into trouble."
Lan Xiyue raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile playing on the corner of her mouth. "Yes, you said it, and you will do it! I, Lan Xiyue, am very vindictive. If you dare to break your promise, I will no longer recognize you as my brother."
Just then, a faint cough was heard in the room.
Dongfang Ming suddenly stood up, and in a flash, he was already at the door. He pushed it open and walked in hurriedly.
Dongfang Ming quickly stepped forward, gently helped her up, and asked with concern: "Mom, are you feeling better?"
Dai Peirong forced a smile and said, "Ming'er, I'm fine. I feel much better. I'm not in good health anymore. Don't worry."
Hearing this, Dongfang Ming's tense nerves finally relaxed. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Mother, it was Xiao Yue'er who saved you."
Dai Peirong's eyes flashed with curiosity and gratitude when she heard this. She turned her head slightly and searched the room: "Where is she?"
"She's outside."
Dai Peirong whispered, "Help me go and see what the girl my son likes looks like."
A hint of sadness flashed in Dongfang Ming's eyes. He shook his head gently: "Mom, don't talk nonsense. She is already engaged. Xiao Yue'er is my adopted sister."
When Dai Peirong heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.
She smiled slightly and said, "Help me out. It's uncomfortable to lie down all the time. Let's go out and get some fresh air."
Dongfang Ming frowned and looked at her worriedly, but he couldn't persuade her in the end, so he carefully helped her out.
When Lan Xiyue saw them coming out, she quickly stood up and bowed slightly: "Auntie!"
Dongfang Ming helped Dai Peirong walk to the stone table and sit down. Dai Peirong looked at Lan Xiyue, her eyes full of love and admiration.
"What a good girl," Dai Peirong sighed in her heart, but when she thought of her Ming'er who was poisoned, she couldn't help feeling a little regretful, and Ming'er had just said that she was engaged.
However, she quickly calmed down and said to Lan Xiyue with a smile, "Sit down, Xiaoyue'er."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue smiled and sat down.
Although Dai Peirong's face was pale, her smile was unusually warm: "I heard from Ming'er that it was you who saved me. Thank you, Xiao Yue'er."
Lan Xiyue quickly waved her hand: "Don't be polite, Auntie. I'm just trying to stabilize your condition temporarily."
Dai Peirong's eyes were filled with love and joy: "Ming'er said that she would accept you as her sister. Ming'er is my only child, and now I have a beautiful goddaughter like you. I am so happy."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue was stunned for a moment.
Seeing this, Dai Peirong's smile softened a bit, "Xiao Yue'er, are you unwilling?"
Lan Xiyue suddenly came to her senses and bowed quickly, "I do." Before she finished speaking, she knelt on the ground, "Godmother, please accept my greeting."
"Hey, get up quickly. What are you doing? Get up quickly, Xiao Yue'er, sit down." Before she finished speaking, she coughed violently a few times, and her face looked a little pale.
Lan Xiyue stood up and sat down aside. In her previous life, she was picked up and raised by a strange old man since she was a child. She didn't know who her parents were and had never felt family love. She was the strange old man's daughter-in-law, and she looked kind. Lan Xiyue was not disgusted at all by her godmother.
Dai Peirong looked at Lan Xiyue, the love in her eyes was beyond words. She secretly sighed that it was a pity that her son Dongfang Ming did not have this blessing, but being able to adopt Lan Xiyue as his goddaughter was also a great comfort.
Thinking of this, she turned to look at Dongfang Ming and ordered, "Ming'er, go get the box next to my bed."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Ming stood up and walked into the inner room. After a while, he came out holding an exquisite box.
Dai Peirong took the box and opened it, only to see a jade pendant as smooth as jade lying inside.
She carefully picked up the jade pendant and stroked it gently. Then, she handed it to Lan Xiyue: "Xiao Yue'er, this is a gift from your godmother. Please don't despise it."
Seeing this, Lan Xiyue quickly waved her hand and refused: "No, godmother... godmother, this is too expensive, I can't accept it."
Dai Peirong frowned slightly when she heard this, and her tone was filled with a hint of feigned anger: "Xiao Yue'er, if you don't accept me, then you don't recognize me as your godmother?"
Helplessly, Lan Xiyue had to take the jade pendant, with complicated emotions surging in her heart.
Dongfang Ming, who was standing by, raised his eyebrows when he saw this and said with a half-smile, "Mother, I remember this jade pendant. It was your favorite. But now you gave it to Xiao Yue'er so easily. I'm really jealous."
Dai Peirong glared at Dongfang Ming with amusement, her tone filled with a bit of pampering and helplessness: "From now on, Xiao Yue'er is your sister, you can't bully her." After that, her gaze gently turned to the side, to Lan Xiyue, who was as quiet as water.
Dongfang Ming's gaze involuntarily fell on Lan Xiyue's pretty face when he heard this. A hint of subtle tenderness flashed in his eyes. "How could I bully Xiao Yue'er? Mother, you're worrying too much. We have to hurry back to Miaojiang soon."
