The group of people ate, played, and had a great ti until everyone was satisfied and dispersed. Xiao Ya was affected by Xiao Pinshan, feeling moody and half-drunk, so naturally, Cheng Yaozu didn’t miss his chance to be the ’Protector of Flowers.’
Watching Cheng Yaozu support Xiao Ya as they left, Cheng Jiasheng glanced at Ning Le and said, "What do you think, does my fourth uncle have sothing for this Xiao Ya sister?"
Ning Le stroked his chin with a aningful expression and said, "There must be sothing fishy going on."
As soon as he finished speaking, soone knocked on his head. Turning around, he saw it was his little uncle, which made Ning Le a bit embarrassed and annoyed. He said, "Uncle, can’t you save so face for your nephew when outsiders are watching?"
"With that foul mouth of yours, who would give you any face?" Ning Ge glared at him.
Ning Le mumbled, "I’m not an idiot; anyone can see it. But this Ying Xiaoya isn’t bad either. Uncle, you’re not getting any younger!"
"Ning Le, don’t do this, okay! I’m still here, and you’re openly encouraging your uncle to steal my fourth uncle’s girl!" Cheng Jiasheng snorted lightly.
Ning Le awkwardly said, "A beautiful lady is the rightful pursuit of a gentleman, right? It’s fair competition!"
"Alright, enough with the banter. Hurry back to the barracks!" Ning Ge, seeing their conversation getting more absurd, put on a stern face.
Ning Le and the others simply replied ’yes’ and saluted Qi Taiguo, then the two of them left together.
"I’m leaving too!" Ning Ge waved to Cheng Su and the others.
Because he wasn’t in Qing City often and staying in the compound was inconvenient, Ning Ge simply bought a small house here so he had sowhere to stay when he ca over.
After everyone had left, Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo slowly headed ho, chatting along the way.
However, Cheng Su seed a bit out of it. She kept thinking about those eyes of Ning Ge and her shadow in them.
Several tis, Qi Taiguo asked her questions, but she didn’t hear. After several such instances, Qi Taiguo reached out to feel her forehead.
"What are you doing?" Cheng Su was startled.
"I was seeing if you’re unwell, why you’re so absent-minded?" Qi Taiguo asked.
Cheng Su felt a bit guilty and smiled, "No, I’m just worried about Xiao Ya. Xiao Pinshan asked for leave today, saying he was getting married!"
Qi Taiguo suddenly understood and said, "No wonder she seed to be forcing a smile, so that’s why."
Cheng Su nodded and added, "But it’s for the best. They weren’t going anywhere, so ending it like this allows for new love to blossom."
"Does Cheng Yaozu have feelings for her?"
Cheng Su smiled with her lips pursed, "You noticed too?"
"Anyone can see he’s being so attentive!" Qi Taiguo chuckled.
You’ve noticed Ning Ge’s thoughts too, haven’t you? Cheng Su almost blurted out but held back, saying, "Whatever the case, they make a good match, and hopefully they have a good outco!"
"Hmm!"
anwhile, the two being discussed, Cheng Yaozu was comforting Ying Xiaoya, listening to her rant and cry about her previous partner.
Cheng Yaozu couldn’t help but say, "So he’s getting married, what’s there to cry about? The worst-case scenario is you find soone new and get back at him!"
Ying Xiaoya’s crying paused, then she burst into loud sobs, "Where am I going to find soone now, just grab soone off the street?"
"!" Cheng Yaozu replied promptly, "Let be your partner!"
Ying Xiaoya was stunned.
Cheng Yaozu looked at her steadily, "If you’re willing, I’ll be your partner!" As he spoke, he quickly pecked her on the cheek, saying, "Ying Xiaoya, I like you!"
It took Ying Xiaoya a long ti to react, and then she gave him a kick, "Cheng Yaozu, you’re being a jerk!" and ran upstairs in a flash.
