Chapter 99
Luo Er was so shocked by Yueming's words that he saw stars and his mind suddenly wandered. He suddenly remembered that Yueming's family had originally opened a pharmacy on Zhuji Street in Kunming. It would have been so convenient for her to give Yun Er the drug! Suddenly, he was horrified.
Yueming was admiring the crescent moon in the sky. She hadn't heard Luo Er speak for a long time. Turning around, she saw his face flashing blue and white, and couldn't help but laugh. "What's with that face? You didn't think I was mad enough to poison Ah Yun, did you? If he got a scratch from a fight, I'd be heartbroken. How could I bear to do such a cruel thing to him?"
As soon as Ti Ling entered the garden, she saw Yue Ming and Luo Er smoking on the balcony. She hurried over and asked the first thing she asked after entering the door: "Is An Kejian not here yet?"
Today is her birthday, right? Why did Ti Ling ask An Kejian for her birthday instead of just saying happy birthday when they met?
Yueming glanced at Luo Er, who seemed to have had an affair with Ti Ling. Seeing his composure, she couldn't help but sigh at her own lack of knowledge. As the saying goes, a night of love begets a hundred days of love. Ti Ling had actually been questioning the whereabouts of the man she loved right in front of her former lover, who listened with impassive composure. As an outsider, she was the most embarrassed.
Yueming put out his cigarette and said to Ti Ling, "I think you should change your target. Cousin An's attitude is obvious enough. Don't waste your energy!"
Ti Ling frowned and said, "What's his attitude? Did he tell you in person that he hates me?"
Yueming was speechless. "Do we even need to say this out loud? Not responding is a rejection, and not taking the initiative is the answer." She pointed at Luo Er beside her and said, "Do you think Cousin An is like some people who take advantage of others?"
Luo Er felt that Yue Ming must have included him in the group of people she mentioned. It felt really unfair to be shot while lying down, but he couldn't yell back. After all, she hadn't mentioned anyone by name, so wouldn't jumping out mean admitting it?
Su Shiyue arrived with his fiancée, and Yunkai went upstairs to call Yueming. Seeing Luo Er's frustrated expression, he asked curiously, "What were you talking about? Why do you look like that?"
What were you talking about? Your wife and I exchanged different views on marriage and love. Your wife's ideas are very dangerous.
Luo Er said awkwardly, "Brother, believe me, you don't want to know!"
Su Shiyue's wedding caused a sensation in the whole of Bangkok. The groomsmen included young masters from various celebrity families. They all looked respectable and were the perfect visual representation of an elegant gentleman at first glance.
Outside Song Wanzhi's boudoir, Yunkai was trying to persuade Yueming to open the door for them: "Yueming, be good and open the door. You didn't go home to sleep last night and I missed you."
There was a wolf howl outside the door, and the bridesmaids inside also burst into laughter. Yueming, blushing, firmly pushed against the door and scolded, "Why are you meddling in other people's weddings? Tell Su Shiyue to come over and write a poem to urge them to get ready. If the poem is good, I'll open the door."
It was fine to ask Su Shiyue to recite a sonnet, but how could he write a poem? Of course, Yunkai was the best at this kind of thing. He hurriedly asked the other groomsmen to find paper and pen for Yunkai, but he heard Yueming's warning from inside the door: "Don't help him cheat!"
The groomsmen begged for mercy, asking for a different test question. The bridesmaids discussed the matter inside for a while and decided to have Su Shiyue sing a song before opening the door.
As soon as Su Shiyue opened his mouth at the door, everyone inside covered their ears. Yueming hadn't expected that Su Shiyue, who looked smart, would sing so awfully that she couldn't help but lean to the side when she heard him sing.
After the song he was still proud: "When I was in England, I almost became a lead singer in an opera house and never came back."
Are you so righteous and confident?
Yueming always refused to argue with Su Shi, and the more she felt uncomfortable, she pouted and said to Song Wanzhi, "Your husband is really a strange man. He can make a living with his looks, but he chose to starve to death with his talent."
After returning to the Su family, Yun Kai was worried that she didn't have a good breakfast at the Song family, so he went to the bridal chamber and quietly called her out and took her to Su Shiyue's study to eat cake.
As soon as Yueming walked out of her new house, she complained, "The heels are too high. My toes hurt like hell after standing all morning."
Seeing that no one was around, Yun Kai asked her to take off her shoes. He held her high heels in one hand and led her towards the study with the other.
In the study, Su Shiyue and a group of groomsmen were smoking cigars. When they saw Yueming coming in barefoot, Yun Er, who was behind her, helped her carry her shoes and they all winked at each other.
Seeing their blatant mockery, Yueming snorted, "A bunch of bachelors who can't even find a wife, and you still have the nerve to laugh at someone who loves his wife."
Lin Jiahao was unconvinced and said, "The only one here who has a wife is Young Master Su. He also laughed."
Yue understood what he meant and shooed him away rudely: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Can't you see I'm barefoot? You have no sense at all! Even a female mosquito wouldn't want to bite you."
Yun Kai was fierce, and his Rouge Tiger was even fiercer. It would be unwise for the two of them to provoke anyone. Lin Jiahao rubbed his nose awkwardly and made room for them.
Yueming picked up the plate and ate the cake. As she ate, she asked, "Any more? I'll bring some over to Sister Wanzhi and the others later."
Yun Kai poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her: "Don't worry, the servant will bring it in." Then he asked: "Did you sleep well at the Song family last night?"
Speaking of sleeping, Yueming wanted to yawn: "How can I sleep well? You know I'm particular about my bed."
"Just hold on a little longer, and you'll be able to sleep well when you go back to night."
The two of them showed their affection as if no one was around. A group of people felt disgusted but also a little envious in their hearts.
At Yueming's birthday party, Song Wanzhi and Yueming hit it off immediately and insisted on having her be her bridesmaid. Yueming wanted to refuse, but she was afraid Song Wanzhi would misunderstand her dislike for Su Shiyue and, by extension, her, so she agreed. Later, she regretted it when she learned that according to custom, she had to stay with Song Wanzhi the night before the wedding. She barely slept that night in this unfamiliar environment, and being so used to her bed.
When she looked up, she saw Su Shiyue sitting on the sofa in front of the French window. His face looked different from when he went to meet his bride. He looked even more sleepless than her. She couldn't help but suspect that their farewell party last night must have lasted all night.
Yueming immediately turned to look at Yunkai, examining him with a meaningful look in his eyes: "Did you sleep at home last night?"
Before Yun Kai could answer, the groomsmen who were lacking in virtue immediately started to make a noise: "Little Ayue, let me tell you, Yun Er disappeared while he was drinking yesterday."
"Yes, yes! We thought he had gone home, so we chased him to your house, but it was pitch black. We didn't know where he had gone."
Yun Kai was at a loss for words. "Don't spread rumors to harm me. My husband is not only mean-spirited, but also has a heart as narrow as a needle. I don't want to sleep in the study tonight."
Yueming finished eating the cake, pushed the plate away and glanced at him: "You said others were spreading rumors, but you are the one who spread rumors and ruined my image. Humph, I have to go back to accompany Sister Wanzhi. You guys ask the servants to deliver the cake quickly!" After saying that, she put on her shoes and left, her high heels making a clattering sound as they stepped on the wooden floor.
Yun Kai hadn't seen her all night and couldn't bear to see her leave like that, so he got up and chased after her.
Someone in the room murmured softly, "Yun Er's father has had so many concubines. If he marries little A Yue, he probably won't have to think about having any more."
In the morning, Yunkai got up, washed up, and came to the bedside to pat Yueming, who was still sleeping soundly. "Didn't you say you wanted to eat beef noodles yesterday? I can smell the delicious beef downstairs, and you're still lying in bed. Hurry up and get up, otherwise, if Miss Zhong comes later and you're still sleeping, won't you be laughed at?"
Miss Zhong's full name is Zhong Luoyu, whom Lin Jiahao met at Su Shiyue's wedding. Her family had come from Vietnam to Bangkok to live with Mrs. Zhong's cousin. That day, her cousin's aunt brought her to the Su family's wedding banquet, and Lin Jiahao fell in love with her at first sight. To facilitate his pursuit and to relieve her predicament, he pressured Yunkai into agreeing to let Zhong Luoyu become Yueming's French teacher.
Yueming didn't mind. She didn't have many friends in Bangkok anyway, so Miss Zhong was a good companion. Chatting every morning was a good way to pass the time. As for not being able to focus on French and literature, and how much she had learned, Yunkai didn't care, and she didn't care even more.
Yueming closed her eyes and stretched out two thin white arms from under the quilt, waving at Yunkai: "You haven't kissed me yet!"
Yun Kai smiled and bent down, guiding her arms to wrap around his neck. He lowered his head and kissed her round, pouty little mouth twice: "Is that all right?"
What do you mean by "Is that all right?" Are you being so perfunctory and impatient?
Yueming opened one eye. "It's faded, right? We've reached a crossroads, right?"
Seeing her sad little expression, Yun Kai laughed heartily, and pulled her into his arms with the quilt, kissing her hard. Their breaths intertwined, Yun Kai couldn't help but reach into the quilt and slowly slide down along the undulating curves of her body.
Yueming held his hand, blinked innocently and said, "Aren't you going to the company? If you go late, Su Shiyue and the others will laugh at you again."
Yun Kai didn't want to give up, but it was really late. He could only peck her tender pink lips reluctantly: "Be good and play with Miss Zhong at home. In a few days, when I have time, I will take you to Chiang Mai to hunt. You can also invite Miss Zhong to go with us."
Although Yun Kai seemed to have only casually mentioned inviting Zhong Luoyu to Chiang Mai, Yue Ming could still hear the strong intention in his casual invitation and frowned, "You are really wicked. You clearly knew that Kevin's family and Ti Ling's family were discussing marriage, but you still helped him pursue Miss Zhong. What will happen if he really catches up with her?"
"What should we do? With Ti Ling's personality, it's uncertain whether this marriage will be successful! Kevin likes Miss Zhong so much, there may be a possibility for them."
Yueming snorted disdainfully, "You can't even fool Guigui with that! These young masters and young ladies don't have clear minds. If they eat their parents' food, they have to obey their parents. Su Shiyue is such a madman, but he still obeyed and married Sister Wanzhi. Even if he doesn't like her, he has to treat his wife as a shareholder. If Sister Wanzhi doesn't give up her seat, he has to serve her obediently. And look at Kevin, what's so weird about him that he would go to the ends of the earth for love?"
Yun Kai looked at her with admiration: "You've only been at the company for a few days, and you've already learned how to apply what you've learned to integrate business into your life! Also, how come you know so much about Shi Yue and his wife's affairs?"
Yueming sighed softly and said worriedly, "There's nothing I can do. Madam Su doesn't treat me as an outsider." Whenever she was drinking tea with Song Wanzhi or shopping, she loved to pull Yueming along and tell him all about the unpleasant things between her and Su Shiyue. Yueming couldn't laugh or sigh when she heard it.
You're newlyweds, so you have to pretend to be a loving couple! If you criticize Su Shiyue in front of me, I won't be in line with you. It will seem that I don't share your heart and hatred. If I agree with you, why should I meddle in your affairs? I can't do that! I can only mumble: "Yeah, yeah, that's right, have some tea, have some tea."
Yun Kai pinched her wrinkled little face and said with a smile, "Do you know how good I am? Those girls envy you so much. Don't be so ungrateful for what you have."
Yueming waved away the offending hand and looked at him with contempt, "You are the one who should cherish your blessings. Madam often told me that no girl in Yunxiang City wants to marry you. Fortunately, I am willing to sacrifice myself, otherwise Madam would have asked the master to gather his men and go to another Mengquan to grab a village girl for you."
She really dared to make up stories. Not to mention the distant past, her cousin actually came in and tried to molest him while he was taking a shower. Did she pretend to have amnesia and forget it?
Yunkai decided not to engage in a verbal argument. If he dared to cite how popular he was with the girls in the Nine Meng Eighteen Circles, she would be furious and start to torture him. He had suffered such a loss many times before and would not fall for it.
Uncovering the blanket and letting her lie back on the bed, Yun Kai took out his pocket watch, glanced at it, and warned her, "I'll give you ten minutes to wash up. Don't force me to do it myself. You know, it won't be as simple as just washing your face."
Yueming remained unmoved. With her head tucked into the quilt, leaving only her eyes exposed, she said to Yunkai, "You're scaring people so early in the morning. Do you still want me to help Kevin make an appointment with Miss Zhong?"
Yun Kai knew that the more he paid attention to her, the more she would ask for more. He pretended to be nonchalant and went to the mirror to adjust his tie. He said calmly, "You also said you were making an appointment for Kevin. Why should I be so anxious? Let Kevin beg you."
What good could Lin Jiahao gain by begging her? Yueming threw back the quilt and crawled to the end of the bed, resting her hands on the railing to rebuke Yunkai: "How come you don't have the courage to risk your life for a friend? If you had just begged me, I would have agreed. Why don't you even try?"
Yun Kai almost burst out laughing, but he tried hard to hold it back and turned around and said with a serious face: "Given our relationship, why should I ask you for help for such a small matter?"
Yueming pinched her little finger and gestured: "It's not that you have to beg me, but if you just agree to a small request of mine, I will help you."
Yun Kai leaned against the dressing table in front of the mirror with his arms folded across his chest. "How dare you ask for such a small thing? It's excessive, but you can still talk about it."
Yueming twisted her fingers and said, "If I can convince Miss Zhong to go to Chiang Mai with us, you will go shopping with me tomorrow." After saying that, she looked at Yunkai with resentment and said dejectedly, "You haven't gone shopping with me for a long time."
Yun Kai felt uncomfortable being stared at by her. He had come here with the intention of having an early honeymoon, but ended up letting her have fun most of the time. He walked over, lifted her chin with his fingers, and kissed her gently: "Whether you invite Miss Zhong or not, I will be home with you tomorrow."
