Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

Chapter 105: The Master Becomes an Uncle

The streets were still crowded with people, and the four of them were having a great time eating and playing, as Xiaofan traveled through the Double Ninth Festival.

"Let me taste yours."

Qian Jingyang handed over the charcoal-grilled quail eggs. Ran Qianxi took a bite and found them mediocre, so she handed her tofu back.

"Try this of mine."

Qian Jingyang took a bite of the tofu but found it just so-so. The two of them went back and forth like this as if no one was around.

Such intimacy should make them a couple, but they are just classmates. They don't care about the difference between men and women, which is simply an invitation to gossip for middle-aged women and girls in the market.

"Brother Zilai, is yours delicious?"

Wei Jiguo glanced at Shang Zilai and thought he was a gentleman who would care about the differences between men and women, but he still handed over the dried sweet potatoes.

"Pick another one. This is the one I bit."

Ran Qianxi didn't care and still took the one he had bitten.

"It's okay, you're not acting like I dislike you. What's our relationship? We're brothers who have shared life and death together."

After eating the dried sweet potatoes, Ran Qianxi handed Wei Jiguo a lover's plum.

"Hey~ This one from his restaurant is delicious."

Wei Jiguo glanced at her, and she directly brought the Lover's Plum to her lips. This moment of heartbeat controlled him again.

He held his lover Mei in his mouth and could not help but touch her fingers, causing his heart to surge again.

Seeing that he had finished eating the Lover's Plum, Ran Qianxi handed him her bamboo tube tea.

“This one tastes good, too.”

Wei Jiguo looked at the crimson lip print, hesitated for a moment, and finally put it in his mouth.

"You hold it and drink it. I'm too tired to carry it."

He took the bamboo tube, and their fingers touched lightly, completely unable to control themselves.

"Thank you, Miss Second."

"If you don't want to call me Master Xi like them, you can call me Qian Xi or Xi Xi. The Second Miss is too unfamiliar. We have been playing together for a whole day."

Wei Jiguo was silent for a moment and asked an incredible question.

"What did Cheng Mo call you?"

"Xi'er."

He smiled faintly. It was indeed different. Although Qianxi and Xixi sounded like nicknames, they were all called by friends. Only Xier was different. It sounded a bit more intimate.

"I understand, Xier."

Hearing this name, the three of them were stunned. It seemed like he was expressing his love.

"You can call me whatever you want."

As they were chatting and laughing, a small sail came from the opposite direction. Ran Qianxi and the other two took a closer look and were all dumbfounded. Qian Jingyang immediately opened his fan to cover his face!

"Liu Yanwang Liu Yanwang..."

"Duanmu Yan."

Hearing someone calling her name, Duanmu Yan turned her head and saw Ran Qianxi. She was happy for a moment, but when she saw the man beside her, her face immediately sank.

"Hey, hey, hey... Isn't this my 25-year-old unmarried aunt? Why is she attracted to our teacher?"

Qian Jingyang was so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl under the table. It was embarrassing enough to run into the teacher when playing outside, and he even ran into the teacher talking about love.

Duanmu Yan stood up and flew in front of Ran Qianxi, scaring her so much that her jaw dropped.

"How... could you fly..."

Duanmu Yan held onto the table and propped her up against the back of the chair.

"I always will."

Ran Qianxi turned and smiled, which was very hypocritical.

Duanmu Yan's father was originally a county marquis, but he was far away in Rouzhou, so she knew martial arts since she was a child, but she never showed off to Ran Qianxi.

"Hahaha...Auntie...long time no see..."

Wei Jiguo originally wanted to take action, but when he heard Ran Qianxi calling her aunt, he gave up.

"I'm not worthy of being your aunt since I hang out with men all day long."

Ran Qianxi slammed the table and hit her forehead with a bang.

"Ah, I don't know what kind of aunt you are. You're just a distant cousin!"

Duanmu Yan rubbed her forehead, grabbed her and flew back to her boat. She couldn't bear to see her stay with a man.

She landed on the sail and pushed hard, and Ran Qianxi fell into Liu Xun's arms. He reached out to support her without thinking.

Duanmu Yan was not angry this time because she wanted to tell Ran Qianxi that she did not like her teacher.

There was no distance between the two of them, and the long-lost intimacy aroused Liu Xun again.

Ran Qianxi turned around with difficulty and pointed at Duanmu Yan's nose!

"I'm telling you to stop acting like an elder. You're just a distant cousin. Send you back to me right now."

"I should kick you off."

"Bah! I have an appointment with Zilai and the others to drink tonight, how dare you interrupt my work?"

As soon as Duanmu Yan raised her hand, Ran Qianxi immediately hid in Liu Xun's arms. As expected, he crossed his arms to protect her. Ran Qianxi immediately pretended to be aggrieved.

"Look, look...if you marry a woman like her...you will become unhappy..."

Ran Qianxi wanted to break up this couple, but she didn't know that Baili Yong had already arranged a marriage for them.

The Marquis of Rouzhou came to the imperial city to report on his work. He was also worried about his daughter's marriage. He specifically mentioned that Shaofu Liu Xun was a good candidate. After some thought, Baili Yong felt that the two were a good match, so he issued an edict to grant them the marriage. No one even asked them whether they were willing.

"late…"

Ran Qianxi looked at Liu Xun in a daze.

"What's late?"

"We're getting married on April 16th."

"What? April 16th next year?"

Liu Xun looked down at her, seemingly indifferent but actually full of regret. He regretted that the two of them had missed the opportunity to issue an imperial edict before they said or did anything.

He had no lover, and the appearance of Ran Qianxi made him feel special. He didn't know whether he liked her or what kind of feelings he had for her, and he didn't know where that special feeling came from. But now it seems that it was all nonsense.

"Yes, His Majesty has granted the marriage. Will you be there?"

"My mother will probably take me there."

She was still in Liu Xun's arms without getting up, and Liu Xun had no intention of pushing her away. He just looked at her indifferently.

Duanmu Yan likes Ran Qianxi, so she was extremely angry when she saw this scene, but she was afraid that if she pulled the two of them apart, Ran Qianxi would misunderstand that she liked Liu Xun.

At this moment, Wei Jiguo suddenly flew over. Liu Xun looked up at him for a moment and instantly realized that this was her new love.

"The Supreme Court has not yet reached a decision, and you are already eyeing the new number one scholar. How big is your ambition?"

"Hey! You're not even my uncle yet, and you're already lecturing me."

"No matter who I become, I am your teacher first. It is my duty to educate you. I can understand that you don't want to marry Shang Zijun, but since you are with Cheng Mo again, you shouldn't bother others anymore."

"How can you call it entanglement? Nothing has happened between him and me, we are just friends!"

"It will happen sooner or later. Go down."

Ran Qianxi paused and forgot how to fight back. As soon as she stood up, she was hugged by Wei Jiguo.

"I'll take you back."

Looking at Ran Qianxi and his back, Liu Xun finally felt a pain in his heart, and the slight changes in his expression were all seen by Duanmu Yan.

When it comes to drinking wine at night, Buyue Tower is not as crowded as the pubs outside, because many people are at home accompanying their elderly parents.

As the hour of Hai was approaching, Ran Qianxi sneaked out and came to the back door of the Shang Mansion, which was indeed ajar and left open for herself.

She gently pushed the door open. Shang Zijun was waiting for her with his back to her. When he heard her voice, he turned around and hugged her in his arms.

"Xi'er."

He really missed her, a longing that was stronger than desire.

"Why are you waiting for me here? It's so dangerous!"

"Since I dare to do it, why would I be afraid of danger?"

"Where's your wife? She's not home?"

Shang Zijun hugged her tightly and caressed her tenderly.

"Going back to my parents' house."

"No way, you're already treating me like this right after I got married?"

Shang Zijun slowly lifted her chin and kissed her.

"No, she wants to go back."

After he finished speaking, he carried her directly into the bedroom.
