The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler-Chapter 2577 - Side Story 81: Congratulations

2577 Side Story 81: Congratulations
Jian Fengchi recovered his senses and coughed. “Sorry for the disturbance! We’ll leave right away!”

As he spoke, he directly held Mu Hongyu’s wrist and turned around to leave.

Mu Hongyu was still staring with her almond-like eyes in a daze. It was obvious that she hadn’t recovered from her shock. “You, you, you…”

Jian Fengchi covered her mouth. When she spoke, her soft lips gently brushed past his palm in a soft and numbing manner.

Jian Fengchi really couldn’t take it anymore. He hugged her, terrified that she would say something she shouldn’t.

He looked at Zi Chen very sincerely. Sensing the cold aura on that man, his glabella twitched.

But thinking about it, it was understandable. Which man wouldn’t want to beat someone to death after being interrupted at this time?

It wasn’t easy for me to wait for Mu Hongyu to let go of her guard. I haven’t even hugged her properly. How could I die here?!

At this moment, Jian Fengchi regretted the decision he made 15 minutes ago. Why did I come here!? Wouldn’t it be the same if I came to thank them tomorrow morning?

Tuan Zi also realized that something was wrong. She turned around and looked at the two of them in a daze.

Meeting the duo’s complicated and hesitant gazes, Tuan Zi’s mind finally cleared up. What… did I say just now?! B-bath together?!

Her mind whirred. “It’s not like that! You’ve misunderstood!”

Zi Chen looked down and gently glanced at the little girl in front of him. He could clearly see her instantly red ears.

He laughed in his heart. I wonder who was so reckless just now and became so cowardly in the blink of an eye. She’s just a paper tiger.

Jian Fengchi immediately comforted, “Don’t worry, don’t worry, we didn’t misunderstand. Your current relationship is normal, normal!”

Tuan Zi was dazed for a moment before she slowly understood Jian Fengchi’s words. Relationship? That’s right—the marriage recruitment is over, and Zi Chen won. Then… aren’t we already… However, I really came here to ask clearly! Why would I think of anything else?

She couldn’t help but puff up her cheeks and defend herself. “…I just came to ask Zi Chen some things. I don’t really have any intention of washing up with him!”

She was originally very confident, but her voice was crisp, sweet, and soft. When she said some words, there was inevitably a hint of flirtatiousness.

The trio were speechless.

After saying that, Tuan Zi also felt that it wasn’t good to shout this out loud. She instantly choked. W-why did I make things worse?!

She stood rooted to the ground and was so embarrassed that she didn’t know where to place her hands and feet.

Fortunately, at this moment, the person behind her finally went forward and pulled her behind him. He looked up at the two people outside the door and spoke calmly and coldly. “Is there anything else?”

Jian Fengchi was very smart and immediately planned to pull Mu Hongyu away from the battlefield. “No! Nothing happened at all! We didn’t come here tonight! Goodbye!”

Mu Hongyu was still struggling, and her voice was unclear. “…T-Tuan Zi… Follow us…”

Zi Chen’s expression didn’t change, as he blocked the little girl’s figure tightly. “I’ll send her back later.”

There is no need for others to worry.

Mu Hongyu watched on and was still worried. The series of events today is enough to prove that Tuan Zi is definitely not this old man’s match! She—

Mu Hongyu wasn’t weak, so Jian Fengchi didn’t dare to really take action and froze.

He thought for a while and finally went close to Mu Hongyu’s ear, resting his chin on her shoulders. “Hongyu, my head hurts.”

Mu Hongyu paused and turned around to glance at him.

This man was looking at her. His glabella was slightly knitted, as if he was really uncomfortable.

Her heart softened.
Jian Fengchi softly muttered, “…Zi Chen doesn’t even have enough time to dote on her. Don’t worry…”

Mu Hongyu finally compromised. She turned around and glanced at Zi Chen before helping Jian Fengchi back.

After the two of them took a few steps, Jian Fengchi silently turned around and secretly gave Zi Chen a thumbs-up.

He was genuinely impressed.

He had always prided himself on being flirtatious, but he had been tortured by love.

And Zi Chen? The entire world thought that he was cold and heartless, cold and aloof, and might never marry in his entire life. Unexpectedly… It was fine if he didn’t take action, but once he did, he directly took her down!

Jian Fengchi was convinced and even faintly felt that this man was a little dog-like. But considering that he and Mu Hongyu could succeed because of their efforts, he didn’t calculate so much.

Zi Chen saw Jian Fengchi’s actions.

He raised his brows slightly and looked at the two figures leaning against each other. Finally, he said, “Congratulations.”

Jian Fengchi laughed, and Mu Hongyu poked his waist. “What are you laughing at?”

Jian Fengchi’s smile deepened as he grabbed her hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed it. “Nothing.”

At this moment, the two of them had already walked out of the courtyard.

There was no one around.

Mu Hongyu stopped in her tracks and looked at him. “Jian Fengchi, you’re not drunk, right?”

Jian Fengchi looked into her bright almond-like eyes. After a long time, he chuckled softly and finally lowered his head to tap her lips.

In an instant, there seemed to be sparks spreading, intertwined with the rich and clear alcohol smell.

He spoke softly, and his voice contained smiling intent, as if he was drunk but not drunk. “…You knew about this long ago, right?”

Mu Hongyu was silent for a moment. She took a step forward, grabbed his collar, and leaned in even closer, standing on her toes and kissing him back.

Yes, she knew all of this. However, she was willing to pretend that she didn’t know and took this last step when he took 99 steps.

…

The duo’s figures quickly disappeared.

Zi Chen closed the door. As soon as he turned around, he saw the little girl with a red face.

Her previous impudence and boldness was like a balloon that was suddenly broken by Jian Fengchi and Mu Hongyu’s sudden arrival, and she directly deflated. She was only left with embarrassment.

She looked very conflicted, as if she hadn’t thought of how to explain and was very helpless.

Zi Chen leaned against the door and gazed at her quietly.

Tuan Zi lightly scratched her chin. “Um… Why don’t I leave first?”

“Yes.” Zi Chen’s low voice suddenly sounded in the quiet and almost stagnant room.

Tuan Zi was dazed and looked up at him in confusion. “Huh?”

Zi Chen waved at her.

Tuan Zi didn’t know what he was planning and went forward obediently.

Seeing her obedient appearance, Zi Chen raised his hand and stroked her hair. His long fingers gently moved the red string wrapped in her black hair.

The golden bell rang lightly and crisply.

Tuan Zi could feel his gaze focused on her. She faintly felt that it was a little hot.

The next moment, she heard him say, “I said that I did like you first and even earlier than you thought.”

Before he even realized it, some thoughts had already taken root. It was just waiting for an opportunity to quickly grow until it was enough to cover the sky and occupy everything he had.

Tuan Zi then knew that he was answering her previous question.

Her heart started beating rapidly again. Even though she had already guessed it, it felt different when she heard it with her own ears.

Zi Chen gently pinched her ear and softly coaxed, “So, you can think about when our wedding date should be set, right?”
