My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 711 - 0406 Those who are outstanding will always be appreciated (2-in-1)_2
I am a person without much use.
I hope to give Senior Zhu a good dining experience, and also...
What can Miss Yun and Senior Zhu talk about together?
"..."
A delicious dinner that can lift Yun Qian’s mood and make everyone realize that this meal aligns with Yun Qian’s thoughts is a treasure.
The system’s means of self-rescue stops here.
——
——
Inside the banquet hall.
Yun Qian’s eyes seemed to be a deep, unfathomable well as she still pondered why Zhu Pingniang and Miss Lu didn’t consider the pastries made by her husband to be treasures.
If the pastries that her husband personally made with care aren’t considered treasures, then Yun Qian needs to re-evaluate whether this world truly recognizes value.
At this moment, a song ended in the hall.
As the echo of the last note faded away, applause from the girls filled the hall, and the sudden noise finally brought Zhu Pingniang and Miss Lu back to their senses.
"Ms. Zhu... I have nothing to say." Miss Lu gave a bitter smile, glancing at the calm Yun Qian.
It turns out that witnessing the understated affection of someone who seems quiet and reserved is surprisingly damaging.
In fact, merely knowing about their affection shouldn’t be like this, but... for Miss Lu and Zhu Pingniang, they both like Xu Chang’an, and so does Yun Qian.
When two people whom they both like...
The psychological damage is more than just simple arithmetic.
For a moment, they didn’t even know if they felt envy, jealousy, or joy...
A mix of emotions.
"I feel the same," Zhu Pingniang covered her face and helplessly said to Yun Qian, "Ms. Yun, are you always like this?"
"What?" Yun Qian looked at Zhu Pingniang.
Because Zhu Pingniang was someone her husband liked, even though Zhu Pingniang doubted the craftsmanship of Xu Chang’an’s cooking, Yun Qian maintained a high degree of tolerance towards her.
"What else..." Zhu Pingniang clicked her tongue, "I mean... saying things like Xu Chang’an’s cooking is a treasure or something."
Face reddening, Zhu Pingniang couldn’t quite understand how Yun Qian managed to say such things out loud.
"Yes." Yun Qian nodded.
She indeed always spoke like this.
"Alright, I understand now... I understand where Xu Chang’an got his habit of quietly showing off from," Zhu Pingniang said.
".....?"
Of course, Zhu Pingniang wouldn’t think Yun Qian learned it from Xu Chang’an. She hadn’t forgotten that Xu Chang’an was raised by Yun Qian, so everything about him was influenced by her.
Miss Lu lowered her head.
Doesn’t Miss Yun feel shy? Clearly, she looks like a lady of high standing...
That’s right.
Miss Lu suddenly realized that it was precisely because of Yun Qian’s personality, because she wasn’t bashful, that she was able to say every word sincerely. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
She genuinely thought that the food made by Young Master Xu was a treasure, so she could be that candid about it.
Therefore, both she and Ms. Zhu were so greatly impacted and hurt.
In no time, that mindset even washed away Miss Lu’s disappointment in knowing Zhu Pingniang used to be a replica puppet.
In Miss Yun’s eyes, anything personally made by the lord was a treasure.
Then why should she feel that what Ms. Zhu personally created or controlled was of little value...
She shouldn’t... shouldn’t think her sister using puppets meant she didn’t care for her.
Women convincing themselves doesn’t always need logic, as long as it feels reasonable. Evidently... at this moment, Miss Lu found it quite reasonable.
"I can’t believe... I thought I was the one who loved Sister the most in the world." Miss Lu lightly squeezed the fabric at the hem of her dress, lowering her head.
Her feelings for Zhu Pingniang, in comparison to Yun Qian’s earnestness towards Young Master Xu, made her feel... inadequate.
"Girl, what are you saying?" Abruptly receiving a confession, Zhu Pingniang was taken aback for a moment.
Meanwhile, Yun Qian took a longer look at Miss Lu, feeling even more favorable toward her.
At this time, her thought was probably—
Huh.
Does Miss Lu think the love between her and her husband is exceedingly good?
Yun Qian would, of course, like such a thought, and so her mood improved as well.
"Thank you, Miss Yun."
Miss Lu stood up, slightly bowed, then moved to Zhu Pingniang’s side. Under Ms. Zhu’s shocked gaze, she knelt gently by her chair, resting her head on her lap, and said with shame, "Ms. Zhu, I... I shouldn’t have been upset earlier, I was wrong."
"???"
Zhu Pingniang was bewildered.
She stared at Miss Lu, who placed her chin on her lap, and her head was filled with several large question marks.
???
What happened?
Weren’t they both being overwhelmed by displays of affection? Why did Lu suddenly thank Yun Qian and then apologize to her, and...
"You... wait, why... why are you crying?" Zhu Pingniang was flustered seeing Miss Lu’s tears drop onto her lap.
Can someone tell her what’s going on?
Did she bully someone?
Didn’t she?
Clearly, it was them being overwhelmed by Yun Qian.
"It’s not that serious... it can’t be, right?" Zhu Pingniang hurriedly reached for a handkerchief to wipe Miss Lu’s tears, anxiously saying, "It’s not that serious to be overwhelmed by intimacy until crying like this... Yes, what Ms. Yun said is piercing... more so than Wen Li’s sword, but you shouldn’t..."
Indeed, Zhu Pingniang truly found Yun Qian’s words more painful than a sword from Wen Li.
However, seeing someone cry due to being overwhelmed by a display of affection, it was a first for Zhu Pingniang.
"Sister... I..." Miss Lu was so thrown off by Zhu Pingniang’s words that her tears stopped flowing.
Who’s crying over displays of affection?
Sister is really such a slow person.
"Sister, what I mean is... I shouldn’t have been upset just because you used puppets to... interact with me," Miss Lu blushed, "I’m sorry."
"Eh..." Listening to Miss Lu, Zhu Pingniang was even more confused, "Using replicas isn’t my fault... why are you apologizing to me?"
Isn’t there something off here?
Using the replica puppet, no matter how you see it, it was her fault, and she indeed felt guilty about it.
"Ms. Zhu... never mind, I just like this about you. Clearly capable, but sometimes... this clueless." Miss Lu wiped away her tears, gave Zhu Pingniang a deep look, and tried to hide the barely contained affection in her eyes.
She wiped her eyes, stood up, and said, "If I stay here, I will only delay you from evaluating Miss Yun’s talents. I’ll go... go check on the girls downstairs, the feast hasn’t started, who allowed them to use the Cyan Platform? No rules..."
Having said that, Miss Lu quickly left, leaving Zhu Pingniang bewildered in the wind.
——
In the banquet hall, watching Miss Lu come down, the girls on the stage who had broken the rules by playing music were so scared that they fled the stage in terror, only to be individually called out by Miss Lu’s sharp eyes.
At this time, the girls saw Miss Lu’s faintly reddened eyes, and her eyes which couldn’t quite hide her joy, and knew that she and Zhu Pingniang had reconciled.
Miss Lu didn’t realize this, but the Flower Moon Building was full of women, with so many in romantic pairings, so... It was quite normal for these women to sit together, pair up the ones they liked, and sneak a peek from a corner.
If Xu Chang’an knew, he would certainly understand.
Isn’t this just shipping CP?
And the pairing of Zhu Pingniang and Miss Lu was the one that many girls liked the most, because... whether it was Ms. Zhu or Steward Lu, their usual behavior could be said to constantly feed these girls sugar.
So, even though the girls were being scolded, they exchanged knowing smiles.
Reconciliation is good.
"Laugh, you still have the nerve?" Miss Lu looked at them with embarrassment and irritation, "Which of you just went to Ms. Zhu to complain about me? Come out and take your punishment."
"..."
The girls couldn’t laugh anymore.
——
On the stage.
Zhu Pingniang stood dazed for a long time, looking at the tear stains on her dress, then lifted her head to gaze at Yun Qian’s calm face, feeling frustrated and unable to speak.
After a long while, with a face full of confusion, Zhu Pingniang asked the only girl beside her.
"Yun... Ms. Yun, what happened to Lu, did you understand?"
"I understood," Yun Qian nodded.
Yun Qian realized what she had experienced, this was precisely what her husband wrote about in his book, the feeling of being overwhelmed by displays of affection.
"You understood? What happened?" Zhu Pingniang immediately asked.
"She likes you," Yun Qian said truthfully.
Zhu Pingniang: "..."
