Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 772 - 770: Lovesickness Hurts

New Year’s Day at Yongning Manor was still lively, but to Duan Yunfei, this liveliness had nothing to do with him.

He originally thought he could persuade the little girl to join and celebrate the New Year together, but it didn’t go as planned.

After a few rounds of drinks, the night had deepened.

The sound of firecrackers outside broke the peace of the cold night.

He sat in the pavilion, eyes slightly closed, seemingly resting.

He only opened his eyes and looked ahead when he heard footsteps approaching.

"What’s this? A few sips and you’re drunk?" Le Zhao said, carrying a small jar of wine as he walked in alongside Xuan Ying.

"The Young Master has a better tolerance," Xuan Ying chuckled, "I bet he’s thinking about Miss Shen."

Duan Yunfei scoffed lightly, sat up straight, and said, "Weren’t you two setting off firecrackers? Why did you come back?"

Le Zhao sat directly on the stone table, took a sip of the wine, and then smiled, "We saw you were all alone, so we came back to keep you company for a chat."

"A chat?" Duan Yunfei raised an eyebrow, "What is there to chat about?"

"You don’t have to be so deeply lovesick. If you really can’t wait until next month, you could go down the mountain to see Miss Shen after the New Year."

Le Zhao took another sip of wine and continued, "After all, it only takes about ten days to go there and back."

"Enough, you said you’d have just one sip, how many have you had?" Xuan Ying grabbed the wine jar back and gave him a sidelong glance.

"Eh?" Le Zhao reached out and said aggrievedly, "I’ve already drunk, what’s the harm in a few more sips?"

Xuan Ying pretended to scold, "Do you still want to be able to wield a sword?"

"Alright, alright!" Le Zhao curled his lips and compromised, "I won’t drink anymore."

Xuan Ying snorted softly and poured the remaining wine on the snow, causing Le Zhao to watch with a pained expression.

It was a fine brew he’d dug up from under the osmanthus tree behind Duan Yunfei’s courtyard, and now it was just poured away!

Duan Yunfei cast a sidelong glance at the two and said, "Get as far away from me as you can."

"Ah?" Xuan Ying looked aggrieved, "Young Master, what did I do wrong?"

Le Zhao was the first to react, struggling to hold back a laugh, and said with a spring breeze and pride, "If you’re jealous, just say so, no need for such a troubled look."

"Jealous?" Xuan Ying frowned, "Jealous of what? Who’s jealous of whom?"

Duan Yunfei glanced at them indifferently, got up, and said, "If you won’t leave, I will."

"Hey, hey~" Le Zhao jumped off the stone table and pulled Xuan Ying to follow, "No need for this, how about we accompany you down the mountain?"

Duan Yunfei said lightly, "I’m about to be married, no time to go down the mountain."

"Tsk~ showing off, are you?" Le Zhao pouted, "Are you doing this on purpose to hit where it hurts?"

"Wouldn’t dare," Duan Yunfei gave him a sidelong glance, "You’re not doing so poorly yourself these days."

At least, much better than I am, who can only get by on longing for someone.

"True!" Le Zhao smiled, glanced sideways at Xuan Ying, "Living like this is indeed pretty good."

The once puzzled Xuan Ying immediately understood, his handsome face turned a deep red under the lamplight, and he could only lower his head in an attempt to hide it.

Duan Yunfei gave them a sidelong look, and his thin lips curled into a satisfied smile.

He quickened his pace and said, "I won’t disturb your moonlit conversation, go do what you need to, stop coming in front of me, I find it annoying."

Le Zhao chuckled, halted with Xuan Ying, and said, "Then we won’t see you off." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Duan Yunfei said, not turning his head, "This is my courtyard, spare me the trouble."
