Chapter 196 Two People Pretending Not to Know Each Other
As night falls and the lights come on, every household hangs up big red lanterns, and festive New Year pictures and couplets are posted on the doors and windows.
There was a crackling sound in the small courtyard in the east of the city, and the air was filled with the faint smell of gunpowder and the aroma of rice.
The children were setting off firecrackers and fireworks in the yard, with laughter and joy, making the place very lively.
After making dumplings, Lu Ziwei went back home. She still had to have the New Year’s Eve dinner with her family.
Jin Mudan had no family, so she spent the New Year with Su Yujiao in the small courtyard.
"Madam, the general is here." Hu Zi looked excited.
Su Yujiao still had a smile on her face. Being happy during the New Year was the most important thing.
"Just come."
"Let him give you a big red envelope. If he doesn't, he won't be allowed in."
"okay."
Su Yujiao was preparing dishes and Jin Mudan was helping. After half a year of recovery, she was able to get out of bed and walk, but she couldn't walk fast yet.
Jin Mudan was smiling, but she found that there was someone following Lu Ziqian, and the smile on her face froze immediately.
Why is it him?
The smile on Mo Lingchen's face was still as gentle as jade. When the two looked into each other's eyes, there seemed to be an indescribable feeling.
Jin Mudan turned her head away and didn't look at him.
The two hadn't been in contact for half a year. She thought she had long forgotten that person, but she didn't expect that today, just looking at him from a distance, she still felt some inexplicable pain in her heart.
Su Yujiao looked at Mo Lingchen and couldn't help but frown. Why was he here?
She really hoped that Mo Lingchen would not provoke Mudan again. Princess Qinghe was not a pushover and Mudan could not afford to offend her.
"Why is Mr. Mo here?"
"I heard from Brother Lu that you've adopted many homeless children. I admire you so much that I wanted to show my love for you."
"come in."
As soon as Mo Lingchen finished speaking, several servants came in, pulling a carriage filled with brand new cotton-padded clothes and shoes.
"Give it to the children. Of course they need new clothes for the New Year."
"Wow, so many cotton clothes."
The children were very happy, but they did not rush to grab them. Instead, they looked at Su Yujiao expectantly, as if asking for her opinion.
Su Yujiao looked at the children's eager eyes and couldn't say no.
"Why don't you thank Master Mo quickly?"
"Thank you, Master Mo."
Su Yujiao looked at Jin Mudan standing uncomfortably at the back of the crowd. She tried desperately to ignore him, but she couldn't help but pay attention to his every move and every word.
Alas, the women in this world are more infatuated than each other.
She had been deeply in love before and knew the feeling of being unable to extricate oneself from love.
Tonight is New Year's Eve, and he came to see the peonies under the pretext of showing love, which is quite thoughtful.
A year later, Mo Lingchen was going to marry the princess, and Mudan's fantasy was completely shattered.
Tonight, let her have no regrets, this is her final farewell.
"If Mr. Mo doesn't mind, please stay and have the New Year's Eve dinner with us."
When Jin Mudan heard this, her expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.
Mo Lingchen seemed to be talking to Su Yujiao, but in fact, his eyes were always on the woman in the last row.
Noticing her nervous expression, he knew he should refuse, but he couldn't help but agreed.
"That's annoying."
"Auntie Wang, make some arrangements. Let's start eating the New Year's Eve dinner and let the children help."
"Yes."
When it was time to sit down, Su Yujiao and Jin Mudan sat together. There was an empty seat next to each of them. The children were already sitting upright, waiting for the meal to start.
Lu Ziqian consciously sat next to Su Yujiao, which was also the default position for everyone.
Mo Lingchen looked at the seat next to Jin Mudan and sat down after only a second of hesitation. He was still graceful, dignified and elegant, without any sense of awkwardness.
However, Jin Mudan was obviously very nervous the moment he sat down, and even her breathing seemed a little uncomfortable.
Su Yujiao frowned. Who arranged the position? Why did it seem like it was intentional?
But since they were already sitting down, she didn't want to cause any more trouble, as that would only make her look deliberate.
"Let's have dinner. Let's have a toast and wish everyone a safe and prosperous new year."
Everyone was a little reserved at first, but after a few drinks, the atmosphere became lively.
After all, they are all grown-up children, and they are at the age when they are lively and active. They can't stay still for long.
Jin Mudan and Mo Lingchen seemed to have never met each other. They ate quietly and watched the children play, without communicating or looking at each other the whole time.
Su Yujiao was so happy today that she couldn't help but drink two more glasses, feeling a little dazed.
Lu Ziqian carried her directly back to the room. Su Yujiao pushed him a few times, but when she failed, she gave up.
"Don't touch me, I can walk on my own."
The man hugged her tighter: "Jiaojiao, don't push me away."
"Don't be like them, pretending not to know each other. It makes me uncomfortable watching."
“Life is long or short, so don’t be too hard on yourself. The most important thing is to enjoy life while you can.”
He laid her on the bed and kissed her forehead, her eyebrows, her red lips, all the way down...
The candlelight flickered, her eyes were hazy with drunkenness, pure and charming, just the look he liked.
He couldn't help but press closer to her, his voice hot and hoarse: "Jiaojiao, I miss you so much."
"I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to come see you."
The man's breath sprayed into the woman's cochlea, feeling hot and numb, and she felt as if an electric current was passing through her body.
Almost instantly, her needs were aroused.
She has been divorced from him for more than half a year, so she also has needs.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lu Ziqian took the next step.
He rubbed her gently twice. The woman did not stop him, but turned her face away, suppressing the shame coming from her body.
He knew she agreed, but was a little embarrassed.
The man's fingertips slid across the thin fabric on her body, a silk bellyband, soft and delicate.
Lu Ziqian kissed her through the fabric...
She looked at the man's gentle eyebrows and eyes, her voice slightly panting, and gently pushed him. Reason overcame desire: "Lu Ziqian, you are drunk."
"We've already divorced, and we shouldn't do this again."
The man gently held her red lips and pecked them twice gently: "You obviously have needs, why are you thinking so much?"
"It's New Year's Eve, don't make it hard on yourself, why not indulge yourself a little?"
"Be good, I will make you feel very comfortable."
That night, he was gentle and affectionate, and he did enough foreplay, making her unable to resist...
The next morning, when she woke up, the man had left, and Su Yujiao breathed a sigh of relief.
He still has some sense of boundaries, otherwise it would be quite embarrassing.
During breakfast, she asked Jin Mudan, "When did Mo Lingchen leave last night?"
Jin Mudan looked uncomfortable for a moment: "After you left, he left not long after sitting there."
"Did you guys chat last night?"
"He's getting married after the New Year, so he should make it official, right?"
