Chapter 1925: Missing Chapter 1925: Missing Editor: Henyee Translations Luckily, they were within reach, making it convenient for them to visit.
If his wife wished to return home, the journey would be easily manageable.
Shao Yunduan grinned.
âJust wait a bit, Taotaoâs wedding is set for next spring.
Youâll have the perfect opportunity to return then.
With the pleasant spring weather, you could extend your stay here a few more days.â Qiao Xuan shared the sentiment, readily agreeing with a smile.
She anticipated exploring the flower fields, The Zhang Familyâs tea mountains, and the alfalfa fields, planning to apply her special expertise to enhance their growth.
Surely, the tea mountains would be thriving like dense forests by now?
Yet, Qiao Xuanâs concerns gravitated toward Taotaoâs family.
She exchanged a glance with Shao Yunduan before jesting, âIs Young Master Zhao going to petition our Lord for the wedding date?
Should we expect any challenges from you?â Shao Yunduan erupted into laughter.
âWhen have I ever made things difficult for him?
I simply reminded him not to mistreat Taotao!â Qiao Xuan found his response amusing.
âI believe Young Master Zhao is an honorable man.
Donât fret, dear.
Taotao is both capable and sensible, capable of leading a fulfilling life, even if they relocate to the South!â Shao Yunduan smiled warmly, his eyes filled with affection.
âYouâve been a wonderful influence on her, even better than me as her brother.â Qiao Xuan returned the smile.
âTaotao is truly endearing, and Iâve grown quite fond of her.â Shao Yunduan tightened his embrace, his laughter soft and intimate as he whispered into her ear, âWell, my dear, youâre quite adorable yourself, and Iâm rather fond of you tooââŹÂŚâ Blushing, Qiao Xuan playfully attempted to push him away.
âStop itââŹÂŚâ Shao Yunduan chuckled, lowering his head to capture her lips in a kiss, unable to resist the temptation.
Qiao Xuanâs breath grew ragged as she covered his lips with her hands, pleading, âNo, please, Iâm going out with Third Sister-in-law tomorrow, donât leave me unable to move!â Shao Yunduan paused, gently biting her lip.
âIâll keep that in mind, and Iâll make it up to you next time.â But perhaps, their privacy wasnât entirely a good thingââŹÂŚ Qiao Xuan didnât respond, feeling no obligation to do so.
What did he mean by making it up to her?
Shao Yunduan wasnât ready to give up easily.
His lingering frustration simmered as they found solace in each otherâs embrace, eventually drifting off to sleep.
The next morning, after breakfast, Shao Yunduan attended to matters at the front briefly, ensuring everything was in order before returning to his office to confer with Shao Sanlang and Zhao Shu.
Zhao Shu was considered a member of the family, and there was no reason to avoid him in matters concerning kinship.
Therefore, Shao Yunduan didnât shy away from interacting with Zhao Shu.
What truly touched Zhao Shu was a sense of pride: his Fifth Brother had finally embraced him wholeheartedly!
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaoni accompanied Qiao Xuan.
During their time together, Yang Xiaoni shared village gossip with Qiao Xuan.
Little Anan, nearing four months old, captivated everyone with her adorable demeanor.
Her large, expressive eyes possessed a captivating innocence that could melt hearts.
Despite being a mother herself, Yang Xiaoni couldnât resist holding and playing with her.
Anan showed no reluctance toward Qiao Xuan, readily allowing her to carry her.
Later that afternoon, Qiao Xuan and Yang Xiaoni ventured out for some shopping.
Anze Province boasted a plethora of local specialties, and the two women indulged in purchasing various items along their journey.
Their haul included an assortment of snacks and mountain delicacies, with Yang Xiaoni particularly enthusiastic in her praise as she sampled the regional treats.
Observing the lively bustle of the city, Yang Xiaoni couldnât help but admire her Fifth Brother for his commendable performance as an officer.
