Chapter Forty-Six: Messed Up
"What are you looking at?" An Manyue looked at Ning Yongchuan's gaze, only to see the sparkling lake full of lanterns.
"Nothing." Ning Yongchuan retracted his gaze and said with a gentle smile, "It's just that I saw an acquaintance." β
An Manyue felt that Ning Yongchuan was very strange at this moment, and Ning Yongchuan, who was looking up and down, thought about it and asked, "Is it?" β
"Well, the one who doesn't want to be seen." Ning Yongchuan explained simply.
An Manyue smiled and changed the topic.
An Manyue and Ning Yongchuan finished putting out the lanterns, and just as they were about to leave the shore, they saw Ouyang Ye and Su Wan'er coming over.
"Uncle, aunt." Su Wan'er exclaimed excitedly, looked at Ning Yongchuan intently, and asked, "Is Uncle here to put lotus lanterns?" β
An Manyue stood aside and was about to watch the play, and her hand was dragged by Ning Yongchuan.
Ning Yongchuan gave An Manyue a look, he felt that An Manyue was really big-hearted, Su Wan'er was leading him in the ditch, and she was still in the mood to watch the play.
An Manyue received Ning Yongchuan's message, thought about it, showed a bright smile, and said, "We are here to put lanterns." β
Su Wan'er looked at An Manyue intently, and said mischievously: "Uncle, I can't read, can you help me write my lantern wishes?" β
An Manyue looked at Su Wan'er in confusion, even if Su Wan'er couldn't write the words of this era, she would definitely write modern words, not to mention, with Ouyang Ye, it would be the same to ask Ouyang Ye to help write her wishes.
However, An Manyue quickly figured it out, it must be that Su Wan'er is not good at writing with a brush and wants to find someone to write for her, as for why she is reluctant to write her wish to Ouyang Ye, it must be because Su Wan'er wants to confess to Ouyang Ye, so she will ask Ning Yongchuan for help.
Thinking of all this, An Manyue took Ning Yongchuan's hand and motioned for him to respond.
Ning Yongchuan responded stubbornly.
The group of four returned to the table where they wrote their wishes, Ouyang Ye handed over the money and took two pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
Su Wan'er stood next to Ning Yongchuan, and said to An Manyue with a smile: "Auntie, can you come aside and wait?" β
An Manyue was a little lost and stood aside silently.
"Mrs. Ann."
An Manyue turned her head to look and saw that Ouyang Ye was already standing beside her with a lantern, she smiled and asked, "Ouyang Gongzi has written it?" β
"Hmm!" Ouyang Ye answered, his eyes full of stars.
An Manyue always felt that Ouyang Ye, the male protagonist, was not quite the same as described in the book, in which Ouyang Ye was only gentle to Su Wan'er alone, but now it seems that Ouyang Ye is very gentle to everyone except for being cold to the enemy.
An Manyue looked back at Ning Yongchuan and Su Wan'er, and saw that Ning Yongchuan was still writing, so she said with a smile: "Wait a while." β
"Hmm." Ouyang Ye stood there with a lantern, thought for a while, and asked, "When Mrs. An rescued people today, wasn't she afraid that you would have an accident yourself?" β
"How can I be, I'm so watery." An Manyue said with a smile, completely ignoring the meaning of Ouyang Ye's words.
Her answer made Ouyang Ye stunned, Ouyang Ye knew that someone was not pleasing to the child, he had already sent someone to investigate, it was not someone else who wanted to kill the child, it was the child's biological father, he still thought, she was not afraid of retaliation if she saved people?
Now it seems that he is overthinking.
This young lady was too innocent.
"Mrs. Ann is chivalrous and admired." Ouyang Ye said sincerely, there were so many people present at that time, and there were many people with good water quality, and the reason why those people did not dive was because they were afraid of retaliation.
"It's just a gesture, if I don't go into the water, the child's life may be in danger, if I go into the water, I can save the child's life." An Manyue didn't understand why Ouyang Ye was so surprised by her saving people, she didn't want to mention the matter of going into the water to save people, and said with a smile, "The lanterns in Fucheng are really good-looking, much better than our county." β
Ouyang Ye responded and said, "Whether the lanterns are good or not depends on who you watch them with." β
After speaking, Ouyang Ye continued: "Today's lanterns are very beautiful. β
An Manyue looked at Ouyang Ye in disbelief, Ouyang Ye's feelings for Su Wan'er were not clear at this time in the book, she looked back at Su Wan'er, and then smiled ambiguously, and said, "Yes, it's better to watch the lanterns with the person you like." β
Ouyang Ye saw An Manyue looking at Su Wan'er, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he quickly stretched out and said, "It's not her."
"Huh?"
"It's not her who I have my heart for." Ouyang Ye said patiently.
An Manyue heard Ouyang Ye say this, and her little face turned pale with fright, thanks to the fact that it was night at this time, Ouyang Ye couldn't see her face.
An Manyue smiled reluctantly, tentatively clichΓ©d: "I, I thought you were ...... with her"
"Just a business friend." Ouyang Ye clenched the lantern in his hand, handed the lantern to An Manyue, and said, "Mrs. An, can you help me put the lantern?" β
An Manyue looked at the lantern in Ouyang Ye's hand, hesitated, raised her eyes to look at him, and said, "The lantern is to be sincere, Ouyang Gongzi is better to put it himself." β
Ouyang Ye's eyes fell on An Manyue's face, and when he saw what she said, he laughed again.
As a result, An Manyue began to be confused again, and her mind is now full of male protagonists who don't like female protagonists.
"Lady."
As soon as she heard Ning Yongchuan's gentle voice, An Manyue turned around and smiled sweetly, and said, "Xianggong! β
"I'm back." Ning Yongchuan walked up to An Manyue, stretched out his hand to hold An Manyue's hand, exchanged a few polite words with Su Wan'er and Ouyang Ye, and then pulled An Manyue away.
An Manyue followed Ning Yongchuan's side, she had a lot of things to say to Ning Yongchuan, and she didn't have the heart to go shopping for lanterns, saying that she was tired and wanted to go home.
The maids at home are still very reliable, and when An Manyue returned home, they had already boiled the bath water.
An Manyue and Ning Yongchuan took a bath separately, and after taking a bath, An Manyue wiped her hair and entered the house, and saw Ning Yongchuan sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze.
"What's wrong?" An Manyue looked at Ning Yongchuan worriedly, sat down in front of him, touched his forehead with the back of his hand, couldn't feel the temperature, and asked, "Is it a fever?" β
"Nope."
As soon as Ning Yongchuan's words fell, he saw An Manyue's delicate little face getting closer and closer, he could clearly see An Manyue's curled eyelashes, and he could hear her light breathing.
Ning Yongchuan's heartbeat was revealed, he pursed his lips lightly, suppressing the restlessness in his heart~ movement.
His forehead is close to her forehead, as long as he raises his head slightly, he can kiss the small ~ mouth full of temptation/bewilderment.
"It's not hot." An Manyue sat beside Ning Yongchuan, tilted her head and wiped her hair, and asked, "Are you really okay?" β
When she tilted her head, the neckline of the loose obscene ~ dress was slightly loosened, and the beauty inside was like a show.
If it were another woman, Ning Yongchuan would definitely suspect that An Manyue was luring him, but he knew very well that An Manyue was just accidentally exposed.
"Su Wan'er doesn't seem to like Ouyang Ye." Ning Yongchuan leaned back on the bed and said slightly tiredly.
An Manyue frowned slightly, sighed lightly, and said, "I'm sure Ouyang Ye doesn't like Su Wan'er. β
"Oh." Ning Yongchuan responded indifferently, he saw An Manyue's face was lost, and said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine." β
Ning Yongchuan is not worried about Ouyang Ye and Su Wan'er not being together, he is worried that Su Wan'er and Ouyang Ye will separate him and An Manyue.
Ouyang Ye has thoughts about An Manyue, and Su Wan'er is interesting to him.
Ning Yongchuan was very glad that An Manyue had a big nerve at this time, he thought about it, and decided to give An Manyue a preventive shot, saying: "I will stay away from them in the future." β
"Hmm." An Manyue said this, and said, "I think we are still honestly busy with ourselves." β
Seeing that her hair was still wet, An Manyue sighed helplessly and said, "If only Su Wan'er could bring in a hair dryer, then my hair will be dry soon." β
Hearing An Manyue say this, Ning Yongchuan asked curiously, "Su Wan'er brought in electricity?" β
"yes, but in the back." An Manyue said with envy, "I can't do it anyway." β
Ning Yongchuan saw that An Manyue was sleepy, and said, "Come here, I'll help you wipe your hair." β
"That's embarrassing." An Manyue said this, and the person had already moved to Ning Yongchuan's side, with his back to Ning Yongchuan.
β¦β¦
Following.
When An Manyue woke up, there was no one next to the bed, and when she washed up and went out of the house, she saw Nian sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard eating melon seeds.
"Sister-in-law!" Nian Shi hurriedly spit out the melon seed skin in his mouth into the small plate, got up with a smile and leaned in front of An Manyue, holding An Manyue's arm, "Do you want to play mahjong, do we want to go to the gambling house secretly?" β
An Manyue didn't want to play mahjong, she just wanted to play mahjong to make money, but playing mahjong was really draining, she thought about it, and said with a smile: "I won't go today, let's go another day." β
After a few days, Su Wan'er will not be in Fucheng, and she will go again.
"Okay!" Nian was afraid that Su Wan'er would not want to go with her, so she pulled An Manyue to sit down by the stone bench, and said with a disappointed face, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, my father-in-law can pick the door, and now he only gives me 1,000 taels of silver every month, which is not enough for me to spend!" β
If An Manyue hadn't been in contact with Nian, she might have thought that Nian's was showing off, but she knew in her heart that Nian's was only stating one thing, and asked with a smile, "Then how much money do you usually have?" β
"Three thousand taels of silver." Nian sat down beside An Manyue and whispered, "Sister-in-law, I will definitely not gamble this time, you can help me earn some pocket money!" β
An Manyue nodded with a smile, thinking that if she went to the capital in the future, the silver might not be enough to spend, so it was better to take this opportunity to earn more silver.
Nian's coquettish head rested on An Manyue's arm, and was about to speak, when he suddenly thought of something, sat up straight, and asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, how do you have something to do with Mrs. Cui?" β
