Chapter 91
Because they had to go to Prince Saya's mansion the next day, the welcoming banquet ended early. Yueming returned to the mansion and went to the bathroom first. She wanted to use the bathtub to relieve her fatigue, but she was worried that she didn't bring a maid with her. She couldn't ask Feng Xiaosai to help her clean the bathroom. Standing under the shower, washing off the foam on her body, she planned to ask Yunkai to find her a personal servant.
After taking a shower and drying her hair, she walked out of the bathroom to see Yun Kai, who had changed into black silk pajamas, piled pillows behind his head, and half leaning on the bed. Without waiting for Yue Ming to ask, he pointed at the milk on the bedside table and said to her confidently, "I came to bring you some milk, and by the way, I wanted to test whether this bed is soft or not."
He must have taken a shower, his hair was half wet and his face was still flushed from the alcohol.
Yueming tutted in disgust: "Your hair isn't even dry yet and you're already leaning against my pillow. How can I sleep tonight with it all damp?"
Yun Kai twisted his body and bounced on the bed, then said seriously, "This bed is too hard. Come sleep with me tonight. My bed is very soft."
Yueming squinted at him and said, "Then tell me why my bed is hard and yours is soft."
Yun Kai didn't respond. He reached out to get the milk, knelt on the bed, took two steps on his knees, and handed it to Yue Ming, coaxing her, "The temperature is just right. Drink the milk first."
Yueming took it and drank it slowly, wanting to see what tricks he would play. However, Yunkai just knelt at the end of the bed, his arms resting on the railing at the end of the bed, watching her drink milk with a smile.
Yueming felt hot all over when he looked at her, and she scolded him, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Yun Kai said seriously: "You are good-looking!"
This guy is really... Yue understood him at a glance: "I'm good-looking, do you need to tell me that?"
Yun Kai raised his hand to wipe away the milk on her lips and said with a smile: "Why are you pretending? Don't you know what I want to do?"
Yueming glared at him warningly: "I don't know anything, I just know that I'm very tired and want to have a good sleep, so don't bother me!"
Yun Kai looked at her with disapproval: "It's not okay to have sunny days and cloudy days like this! It will make me leave you alone. Who was it that held me and wouldn't let me leave before? Abby, don't go. I'm scared to be alone!"
He pinched his throat and raised his orchid finger to imitate Yueming's coquettish behavior. Yueming was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and begged for mercy: "Just let me go! I'm really tired. I had to force myself to eat today. The weather here is hotter than in Yunxiang. As soon as I go outside, the heat comes out and makes me dizzy. How can I sleep tonight next to you, a stove?"
"You don't know what I'm talking about. I'm full of masculine energy." Yun Kai chuckled and picked up the small pillow she had to hold when she slept at night. He pointed to the damp spot on it and said with regret, "I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep tonight. I got the little pillow wet. But it doesn't matter. Abby will hold you tonight. Abby's chest is more useful than a small pillow."
"It's okay, there's a hot hair dryer in the bathroom. I'll just take it in and blow it!" Yueming was unmoved.
Yun Kai's expression changed drastically as he jumped off the bed and went to grab her barefoot: "If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the penalty wine, right?"
Yueming was caught by him before she could escape, and he pinched her waist, put her on his shoulder, and carried her out.
She kicked her feet and struggled: "Stop being drunk! Put me down now."
He carried the struggling Yueming to his room and threw her onto the bed. Yueming screamed and rolled all over the bed. Yunkai stood by the bed with his hands on his hips and laughed heartily: "I didn't lie to you, is it because my bed is softer?"
Pushing aside the messy hair covering her cheeks, Yueming said angrily, "Don't be so soft-hearted. I want to sleep. If you bully me again, I will hit you."
Yun Kai held her hand and placed it on his chest and said in a cheesy tone: "Abby's head is not soft. If you don't believe me, just touch it. Abby is hard everywhere except for you."
Yueming was paralyzed on the bed, mumbling, "Help! Someone, please save me and get this disgusting thing away from me."
Yun Kai climbed onto the bed and lay beside her, holding her head and letting her rest her head on his arm. He asked softly, "Do you like this apartment? If not, I'll find you another place."
Yueming closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, ignoring him. Yunkai reached out and tickled her armpits, and she immediately screamed and shrank into a shrimp.
"I'm not sleepy yet. You can either chat with me or do some exercises with me to help me sleep. It's your choice." Yun Kai whispered threateningly in her ear.
Yueming opened one eye and muttered in dissatisfaction: "Next time you drink, either don't drink at all and stay sober, or get drunk and lie down to sleep. You come back half drunk and bother me."
Yun Kai pretended to take off her clothes. She was so scared that she covered her chest and shouted, "Let's talk. Let's have a good chat and imagine our future."
They were about to start a serious conversation, but for a moment they didn't know what to talk about. After thinking for a while, Yun Kai took out the arm that Yue Ming was resting on, supported his head, and asked sideways: "My friends are pretty good, right? They are all easy to get along with."
Not bad? Thinking about the unruly behavior of Mr. Luo, Mr. Lin's outspokenness, and Mr. Su's ever-present sparkling peach blossom eyes, Yueming said earnestly, "Your understanding of your friends is still too shallow!"
Yun Kai understood what she meant and said indifferently, "Everyone has hobbies and tempers. Those are just trivial matters. What matters most is that men keep their promises and maintain loyalty."
Yueming stared at him with a stern expression. "Xiaojie?! Are you trying to give me some medicine in advance? I'm warning you, if you have any bad intentions, I'll return to Kunming immediately. Don't think that I can't go back just because Siam doesn't have flights to Kunming. I can send a telegram and even a fighter jet can land in Wujiaba."
Yun Kai repeatedly protested: "Am I not a gentleman enough? Take tonight for example, I clearly ate you a long time ago, and now you say you don't want to. Didn't I do nothing?"
Yueming sneered, "I can't comment on others, but I know what kind of person Luo Er is. If you follow him and don't learn from him, you will suffer the consequences."
Yun Kai was amazed, and pinched her face half threateningly and half amusingly, saying, "Normally I'm the one telling you what not to do, but today you're actually lecturing me. Aren't you sleepy anymore?"
Yueming… "Turn off the lights and go to sleep. If you continue talking, I'll hit you."
The next morning, An Kejian went to the Yun Mansion to apologize. Yun Kai and Yue Ming were having breakfast when he arrived. Looking at the steaming breakfast, fresh milk, and ironed newspapers on the table, Yue Ming praised Feng Xiaosai's housekeeping skills. After praising Feng Xiaosai, she asked Yun Kai what he should wear to Prince Saya's residence, and whether there were any special requirements.
The two were discussing animatedly when Feng Xiaosai came in to report that Mr. An had arrived.
Yunkai raised an eyebrow and smiled at Yueming, "Why don't we give your cousin a watch? It's either too late or too early, so he can check the time."
Yueming had only Changsheng by his side since childhood, and he envied those with more siblings. He had a natural fondness for this distant cousin he had never met. Besides, his secretary had explained it to him yesterday. He wasn't late on purpose; he just had something urgent to do before leaving. He must have come so early in the morning to apologize for what happened yesterday. Why be so picky about his gift?
She rolled her eyes at him: "Small-minded."
Yun Kai glanced at her, wiped his lips with a napkin and said unhappily, "Let's go. It's not good to hold the bowl when guests come."
After An Kejian came in, he greeted Yunkai first. He carefully looked at Yueming, who was standing beside Yunkai with a smile on her face, and said with an apologetic smile, "Is that you, Ah Yue? I'm sorry I was late yesterday and didn't pick you up."
Yueming shook her head slightly: "It's okay, cousin, you didn't mean it. There's no need to be so polite between us siblings."
Yun Kai secretly curled her lips. That was because she had come along, and Shi Yue had even driven to the dock to pick them up personally. Of course, she didn't mind if they got home safely. If she had come alone, she would have been so angry that she would have taken the boat back immediately after getting off the boat without anyone to turn to.
To express his apology, An Kejian hosted a banquet at a famous Chinese restaurant in Yahuali and invited them to attend.
Yueming apologized, "I haven't met my uncle and aunt yet. Normally, I should visit them in person, but I have to go to Prince Saya's palace to visit my eldest sister today. Cousin, please apologize to my uncle and aunt for me. I just arrived in Bangkok and have a lot of things to do. I will go visit them after I have sorted things out."
An Kejian quickly said, "You told me not to be polite, but you're being polite yourself. Go ahead and do your thing. We'll get together again when we're free." He then added, "If you have time, you should come and take a look at the company. After all, it's your family's business, and you need to know what you need to know. I'll send the company's revenue report over in a couple of days. Take a look at it when you have time so you can get an idea."
Yueming nodded: "Okay, I'll trouble you, cousin."
An Kejian was worried that it would be inconvenient for them to travel, so he wanted to leave his car behind. Yun Kai politely declined: "My car is parked at my eldest sister's house and my brother-in-law is keeping it. I can drive it back today. You can go and do your own thing. It won't get in our way."
As soon as An Kejian left, Yun Kai looked at Yue Ming with a half-smile and said, "Second Young Madam, I'm setting an example for you. When you go to the Prince's Mansion later, please treat my relatives the same way I do."
Yueming hugged his arm and scolded him, "How did you get that? It's as if I've ever beaten or scolded your relatives. If you think about it carefully, it's all your relatives who have been offended."
From the Third Madam to her nephew and then to Semanli, he had personally done all of them. He had made many enemies for himself, but she hadn't blamed him yet, and he was now framing her.
Yun Kai felt that her behavior of crossing the river and destroying the bridge was extremely conscienceless, so he shook off her hand and prepared to go upstairs to change clothes.
Yueming hugged his arm tightly and refused to let go: "Hey, hey! You're angry already, you really can't stand being teased. Alright, alright! When we go to the Prince's Mansion later, I promise that even if someone spits in my face, I won't get angry, okay?"
Yun Kai didn't buy into this assurance. She wouldn't turn hostile immediately, but would simply take it out on him. Wasn't he aware of her tricks?
He sarcastically said, "If you don't study hard, you'll have trouble speaking. You can say it clearly in four words: 'spit in your own face', but you have to say such a long list."
Yueming didn't know when Yunkai became so fragile. He started to be sarcastic just because she didn't join him in fighting against Cousin An.
If I were to elaborate on this trivial matter, he would definitely be even more furious. Yueming rolled his eyes and changed the subject, "I hadn't eaten enough when Cousin An came. You haven't eaten enough either, have you? Why don't we go out and eat something else?"
Yun Kai stared at her for a minute, then sighed, "It's been so long I almost forgot you had the Starving Corpse Gu in your body. When I have time, I'll find a powerful mage to remove it for you!"
He was angry that this guy was only thinking about continuing the interrupted breakfast, which was really annoying.
Until Yunkai's back disappeared around the corner as he went up the stairs, Yueming couldn't remember when he was infected with the starvation poison.
Han Huanyan, the second young lady of Prince Saya's mansion, was very happy to see her younger brother and future sister-in-law. She took the two of them to pay their respects to the elders first, and then let Yunkai go to talk to her brother-in-law himself. She took Yueming to greet her sisters-in-law.
Holding Yueming's shoulders, he introduced her to the ladies, "This is the one I always tell you about. The wife my second brother used a walnut to trick back when he was a child. She is the eldest daughter of the Changkun Commercial Lan family."
The sisters-in-law in the family had long heard that Huanyan's second brother was engaged, and they also knew whose ship Changkun Trading was boarding. They all admired that the second brother's wife, who came from the most ordinary family, could turn her life around.
The second young master of the Prince's Mansion was just like Yun Kai, neither of them was in the same position at home, but his life as a young master was not as comfortable as Yun Kai's. Although Yun Kai had brothers, the third young master was still very young and was born to a concubine, so he could not be in any way hindered.
The second young master of the prince's mansion was different. The brothers were not much different in age, and each of them was eyeing the prestigious titles. If it weren't for the constant flow of money from the Tusi Mansion in recent years, the second young master and his wife would have been able to make connections and get a small official position. Huanyan would really not be prominent in this family.
Now that he has money and power, he feels more confident. Huanyan is very popular among his sisters-in-law and is naturally affectionate towards Yueming.
After World War I, capitalism became the new rich. While the nobles might not agree, they wouldn't shy away from money. They were all talented individuals, and none spared the politeness of public appearances. They all smiled and asked Yueming about his well-being.
