Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 355: Are You... Acting Cute With Me?
"I asked Lan Ruo..."
Shen Qinglan conveyed all the information she had gathered from Lan Ruo to Duan Yunfei, detail by detail.
After listening, Duan Yunfei sighed for a moment, then laughed, "Doesn’t this count as a double blessing?"
Shen Qinglan nodded, "It counts!"
"What do you plan to do next?" Duan Yunfei asked.
She murmured, "I’ll find a time to let mother, uncle, and Madam Song meet and have a talk."
"Take it slow!" Duan Yunfei said, "The important thing is that you’ve found her!"
Shen Qinglan looked at him and said, "Aren’t you supposed to be drinking with Elder Chu and the others?"
Duan Yunfei laughed, "I was worried I’d drink them all under the table, so I made an excuse to step out."
Shen Qinglan lightly chuckled, "Are you more afraid of being outdrunk by Elder Chu?"
"Hmm~" Duan Yunfei nodded with a smile, "My wife knows me well!"
"I’m not afraid of being outdrunk, I’m worried about being too full." He defended himself, "My master has such a capacity for alcohol, to call it vast is not an exaggeration."
"Then..." Shen Qinglan was a bit worried, "How are the others at the table? What about Le Zhao?"
"Don’t worry!" Duan Yunfei laughed lightly, "Le Zhao, knowing master’s drinking capacity, left after just a few drinks, using the restroom as an excuse, and never returned."
"Could it be... he fell into the latrine?"
Duan Yunfei laughed helplessly at her words, "Not that bad! He probably just slipped out."
"How about father and them?"
"They’re fine!" Duan Yunfei nodded, "Except Song... uh, your cousin, he might not be doing too well!"
"Song Ting?" Shen Qinglan asked suspiciously, "What happened to him?"
Duan Yunfei smirked, "He’s still somewhat sober, but I reckon if he sits a bit longer, he might just drift into a haze."
Shen Qinglan smiled with delight, "Things are busy in the front yard, I’ll head back first!"
"Leaving already?" Duan Yunfei pursed his lips, "Can’t you stay a little longer?"
Shen Qinglan’s eyes narrowed slightly, a half-smile on her face, "Are you... trying to act cute with me?"
"Does it work?" he laughed.
Shen Qinglan shook her head, "Not this time!"
He smiled gently, and his voice suddenly turned tender, "So... it might work next time?"
"We’ll talk about next time when it comes."
Shen Qinglan turned around, the curve of her lips deepening somewhat.
"Qinglan, you’re back!" Dong Yao approached carrying a steaming bowl of noodles, speaking softly, "There’s still work for mother here, your sister and cousin are still busy. You take this bowl of noodles to your sister-in-law, let her eat first to fill her stomach a bit."
"Oh, okay!" Shen Qinglan glanced at her, smiled, then took the bowl and chopsticks.
Dong Yao was puzzled, "Does mother look funny?"
"No!" Shen Qinglan shook her head, "Mother looks very good!"
"Smooth talker!" Dong Yao lightly scolded, "Hurry and take the food to your sister-in-law."
"Alright then!"
Shen Qinglan chuckled lightly and then carried the noodles into the house.
"This child..."
It was just delivering a bowl of noodles, why is she so joyful?
Dong Yao shook her head helplessly, turned around, and continued with her work.
When Shen Qinglan brought the noodles inside, Qiu Li was still sitting primly on the bed, covered by her bridal veil.
Noticing someone entering, she seemed a bit nervous, holding her handkerchief tightly.
Shen Qinglan smiled, walked up to her, "Mother wants you to have some noodles to fill your stomach first."
"But..." she said timidly, "the veil hasn’t been lifted yet!"
"It’s alright." Shen Qinglan suggested with a smile, "You can put it back on after eating, my brother hasn’t seen you yet anyway."
Qiu Li hesitated whether to follow Shen Qinglan’s suggestion, but before she could make a decision, her stomach had already started grumbling.
She lifted the veil, blushing, thanked Shen Qinglan, and then lowered her head to eat the noodles slowly.
