Seeing the look in Chu Lian’s eyes as he spoke, there was indeed a deep affection, he thought. This ti Chu Lian really had developed true feelings, it was just...
The wife had said that Wang Xiangxiang didn’t like Chu Lian, and he probably knew it, which was why he had just asked everyone to help him keep it a secret.
Chu Lian must be feeling even more heartache than he had at the ti; at least he had kept his own wife by his side, but Wang Xiangxiang could leave at any mont.
He had to cheer him on, so he encouraged him by saying, "Brother Chu, you must work hard and strive to marry Miss Wang soon."
Chu Lian smiled awkwardly. He had thought the sa that morning, but plans never keep up with changes. Though he had gained her ahead of ti, he felt that the distance between them might only be growing.
"Yang Ming, I’ll take my leave first. I’ll send soone to deliver blankets to your house later. I’m really sorry for dirtying your bridal chamber," Chu Lian said before boarding the carriage. He was in a hurry to get back; there was still much to do.
Watching Chu Lian get on the carriage, Yang Ming hurriedly called out, "No need to send them, a wash will do."
But Chu Lian didn’t respond; he waved his hand and drove off.
Yang Ming had no choice but to let him go and drove his own carriage ho.
By the ti Yang Ming got ho, it was evening. The family was having dinner, and he saw that the guest, Mr. Han, and his companion were also joining them at the table, and the atmosphere was joyful. Yang Ming didn’t say anything and just sat down to eat.
After dinner, he arranged for Mr. Han and his companion to stay in Yang Dong’s room before he finally had a chance to talk to his wife.
"How is Miss Wang doing?"
"She hasn’t woken up yet."
"Why is it taking so long?"
Xiaoxiao hit Yang Ming lightly and whispered, "Didn’t I sleep for a whole day too when it happened to ? Besides, she’s ill."
...
It seed his wife made a good point. "What did you tell everyone at ho?"
"I’m not foolish; I just said she had a fever, so nobody would disturb her."
"What about Mr. Han and his companion?"
"Just told the truth, that they were the people providing the fish fry."
The couple had not talked for long in the courtyard when a carriage arrived at the gate; they quickly went to check it out.
When they got there, they were stunned to see a carriage full of blankets, clothes, and daily necessities.
Xiaoxiao looked puzzled at Yang Ming, who explained, "Brother Chu sent them."
"Huh?"
"Brother Chu said that Wang Xiangxiang will be our sister-in-law from now on."
...
Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened in astonishnt. Was this declaring Wang Xiangxiang as his woman?
She had said that Chu Lian liked Wang Xiangxiang, but no one had believed her; it seed that her insight was spot on, "Now you should believe what I said."
"Yes, I believe you now. Brother Chu personally admitted it."
...
Xiaoxiao’s mind began to whirl again. So it was a case of the lover willing, but the beloved indifferent?
They matched well, and now with these events, it would be best for them to be together. All it would take was for Wang Xiangxiang to fall in love with Chu Lian, and then everyone would be happy, wouldn’t they?
But how could they make Wang Xiangxiang like Chu Lian?
"Husband, the rice has already been cooked into a al; we have to help to bring them together," Xiaoxiao said.
"Wife, our minds are as one," Yang Ming replied.
The two exchanged a smile, and Yang Ming continued, "Wife, let’s move these things inside quickly. When Miss Wang wakes up, don’t ntion they’re from Brother Chu. Since Brother Chu intends to keep it a secret, let’s not make things more complicated."
Xiaoxiao gave Yang Ming a reassuring look, "I understand, I’m not foolish."
...
His wife always claid she was not foolish, but if he were to say so, she would be the most foolish of all, for choosing him over such a suitable family.
