"Hurry up and take it." Wen Tingyun urged her when she didn't come to take it for a long time.
"I...I don't want to." Chen Lingsu put her free hand behind her back.
"What do you mean you don't want it? I just saw you licking it quite enthusiastically, didn't I?" Wen Tingyun looked at her flushed face suspiciously. Why was she blushing?
Upon hearing this, Chen Lingsu suddenly looked up and glared at him, then turned and hurriedly ran away.
"Hey, your sugar figurine!" Wen Tingyun called out quickly.
Chen Lingsu ran even faster and disappeared in an instant.
Wen Tingyun frowned. "Why is she so fickle? She was just getting angry with me, but now that I've bought it for her, she doesn't want it anymore. It's really strange."
Lü Qiao said with a smile, "Second Young Master, young ladies are all shy. Don't be so direct when talking to them. The way you just said it made Miss Chen feel embarrassed, which is why she ran away."
Wen Tingyun said in surprise, "I didn't say anything, did I?"
Lü Qiao: "..." There are actually people who understand women's feelings even less than Si Yi and the Duke of Jingguo. She is speechless.
Wen Tingyun looked at the sugar figurine in his hand, then at her, and then handed it over, saying, "Since Chen Lingsu doesn't want it, then you can have it."
“Thank you…” Green Fairy reached out her hand, about to express her gratitude, but Si Yi, who had been silent all along, grabbed her hand.
Si Yi looked at Wen Tingyun and said indifferently, "Second Young Master, Lü Qiao doesn't eat sugar figurines. We're going to eat now, so we won't keep you company." After saying that, he pulled Lü Qiao away.
Wen Tingyun: "..."
After a long while, he looked at the sugar figurine in his hand, unsure of what to do with it.
Or should we send some to my two little nephews?
But he quickly shook his head and denied it, saying that they were only three months old, how could they eat sugar figurines?
Or should I send it to my nephew?
Thinking of his older brother, he shook his head again. Forget it, his older brother would never let his precious son eat food from outside.
Thinking of this, he could only lower his head and take a bite. Oh well, he'd better eat it himself.
But how can it be so sweet?
I really don't understand why that girl Chen Lingsu likes to eat so much?
Thinking of how she had been licking her food as she walked, he shook his head, finding it hard to believe.
He wanted to throw it away, but felt it was wasteful, so he ate it as he walked to the Prince of Xiang's residence.
At this moment, Wen Nongnong and Gu Linchao were having dinner at the Prince Xiang's residence when they were overjoyed to see their second brother arrive.
"Second Brother, what brings you here?"
If you count the time, it's been quite a while since she's seen him.
The second brother had gotten a bit darker, but he had also grown much taller, giving him an imposing presence that was not to be underestimated, and his facial features had become more defined.
It truly proves the saying, "A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days' absence."
The second brother has changed a lot, both in terms of his demeanor and appearance.
Of course, he was handsome before, but after the baptism of the battlefield, his eyes and brows showed more determination and courage, and he seemed to have matured and become more composed.
Wen Nongnong's gaze was filled with appreciation.
A second brother like that would surely attract many girls; the line of women wanting to marry him would probably stretch all the way to the city gates.
Gu Linchao glanced at her and saw her staring intently at Wen Tingyun. He frowned and reminded her, "Yaoyao is about to cry."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong withdrew her gaze and looked down at her daughter in her arms.
Her daughter was looking at her with innocent eyes, showing no signs of crying.
Wen Nongnong's lips twitched slightly. She turned to look at Gu Linchao and said with dissatisfaction, "When did you become such a liar? Yaoyao wasn't crying at all." Then, she smiled and looked at her second brother, "Second brother, why are you here so late?"
"I've come to see my two little nephews." Wen Tingyun didn't notice the strangeness between the couple. As soon as he came in, he first poured himself a pot of water to wash away the sweetness in his mouth before rushing to Wen Nong Nong's side and picking up the little one in her arms.
He glanced at the little guy, then frowned and said, "Hey, Mother said Xiao Jin looks like the Emperor, but I think Xiao Jin looks more like you?"
Wen Nongnong's lips twitched. She had just thought her second brother had become more mature, but he still seemed like an impulsive young man.
She said irritably, "Who told you she's Xiao Jin? She's Yao Yao! Yao Yao hates you so much for confusing her with her brother."
Upon hearing this, Wen Tingyun felt quite embarrassed. Only then did she notice the little guy in Gu Linchao's arms, who was staring at him with a pair of beautiful, dark eyes.
He paused for a moment, then turned to Wen Nongnong and asked, "Is this child... really only three months old?"
Wen Nongnong rolled her eyes at him. "What else?"
“But it doesn’t look like three months old,” Wen Tingyun mumbled, never admitting that he felt a little uneasy being stared at by a three-year-old child.
Just as he was lost in thought, Gu Huaijin suddenly grinned and smiled at him.
Wen Tingyun blinked, and instantly felt her heart melt.
"He actually smiled at me..." he said excitedly.
Wen Nongnong said with a laugh, "Yes, he smiled at you, but you don't need to get so excited, do you?"
Just as Wen Tingyun was about to speak, Gu Yaoyao in his arms suddenly started crying, making him almost drop his grip.
Seeing his flustered state, Wen Nongnong sighed, "Second brother, give it to me."
Wen Tingyun carefully placed the little one into her arms as if facing a formidable enemy.
Then I was extremely surprised to see that she calmed me down in no time.
"Why does she cry when I hold her, but stop crying when you hold her?"
"Who told you to hold her while you kept looking at her brother? She felt seriously ignored," Wen Nongnong said seriously.
"Such a thing is true?" Wen Tingyun was extremely surprised.
Wen Nongnong said, "She used to like you quite a bit, but after you hugged him, she focused her attention on your brother. She has a problem with you now."
Upon hearing this, Wen Tingyun was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. He quickly went over and said, "Little Yaoyao, your uncle likes you the most, he doesn't like your brother..."
Gu Yaoyao immediately grinned at her.
Wen Nongnong rubbed her forehead, "Xiao Jin is still young, so it's okay for you to make up such nonsense now. But when he's older, if you dare to say such things, be careful that he'll hate you."
Wen Tingyun: "..."
Seeing that he was completely taken aback by Nong Nong, Gu Linchao shook his head and chuckled.
Who would have thought that the valiant and skilled second son of the Wen family would be completely outmaneuvered by his own sister at home, and even more helpless when facing his two young nephews?
He patted his shoulder and said gently, "Sit down, don't listen to Nong Nong's nonsense."
Wen Tingyun then sat down.
"You probably haven't had dinner yet, let's eat together," Gu Linchao said, and had a servant bring an extra set of chopsticks and a bowl.
Seeing this, Wen Nongnong handed the child to Granny Ding, then took the wine pot and poured a cup for each of them. When it was her turn to pour one for herself, Gu Linchao took her wine cup away.
"Nongnong, you can't drink alcohol right now."
