"Second brother, itâs not like you to be so furious out of embarrassment." Qingqing hugged her legs, looking incredibly aggrieved, "It wasnât me yelling at Mom, asking Huaâen to help you."
"What did you say?" Yangyang rubbed his temples; he seemed to have drunk too much yesterday, barely remembering anything. Hearing his brotherâs words now and seeing everyone trying hard not to laugh, did he say something wrong yesterday?
"I said, Second brother, your eyesight is really bad. You actually mistook Huarong for Huaâen and kept yelling for Huarong to come over and help you. Youâre really something. When she didnât help, you even got angry with her. Tsk tsk, who knew you were so petty?"
"Cough cough..." Yangyang couldnât hold back anymore, oh my, did he really say all that yesterday?
What a disgrace.
How could he call Huarong as Huaâen?
Oh my, not to mention Huarong, he last saw Huaâen that year when he returned from the northern ethnic group, the day before going to Shandong, barging into Mu Residence. That was just a distant meeting four years ago, right? People have changed so much, how did he manage to call Huarong as Huaâen?
He tossed his chopsticks and walked away; he couldnât sit any longer!
"Haha..."
"Haha..."
Everyone laughed non-stop, Yang Chuxiaâs voice was the loudest, "This is the first time Iâve seen my precious son embarrassed, oh my, itâs so rare. He used to say âwifeâ all the time when he was little."
Yangyang outside the door was speechless; that was so many years ago, why is Mom still mentioning it? Besides, heâs grown up; how could he be the same as before?
He glanced at Mu Huarongâs room and then walked further away.
But just as he turned, the window of that room moved slightly.
Ye Ziâanâs 40th birthday, though not a grand occasion, drew many gifts from people, but Yang Chuxia turned them all away. They had planned a simple meal with family and friends, a celebration, and naturally wouldnât accept gifts from officials and wealthy merchants.
After Ye Ziâanâs birthday, Yangyang, due to his official duties, couldnât stay long and returned to Shandong the next day. He hadnât been relocated in Shandong for years, but last year when he returned to the capital for a report, the Emperor mentioned wanting him to guard the southern region next year, saying there were whispers of unrest from a few smaller nations, but no confirmation yet.
Mu Shaofeng and his wife stayed at the Ye Family for a few days before returning to the town.
As for the boy-and-girl set of twins, they remained in Funan until after the New Year before returning to the Capital City.
The twins were so enamored with Funan that they had no desire to return. If not for Leleâs repeated letters urging, they would have never left.
"Mom, I really think you should find a wife for big brother soon." Qingqing said earnestly to Yang Chuxia, who was packing for her, "Seriously, Mom, consider my words. Look at how lonely he is, sending one letter after another urging us back. He must be too lonely at the residence and wants us back for company."
Yueyue nodded in agreement, "Certainly, heâs truly terrifying, completely spending his âfind a wifeâ time on managing us. So Mom, I think we should stay by you and Dadâs side, so big brother has time to find himself a wife and wonât worry about Qingqing and me every day."
