“Oh…”
As Liu Nanfeng stepped through the door with his daughter in his arms, he saw Yang Ruoyun sitting at the table, gazing at the dishes before her.
Liu Nanfeng had almost forgotten that she was also in Guanshanhai.
“You’re awake? How are you feeling?” Liu Nanfeng walked over and sat down opposite her with poise.
Yang Ruoyun glanced at him, not answering his question, but instead focusing on the small brocade painting in his hand.
“Congratulations on becoming a father.”
“Haha, thank you, isn’t she adorable.”
Liu Nanfeng happily grabbed Xiao Jinhua’s little arm and waved it a couple of times.
Yang Ruoyun said nothing, but looked behind him.
Liu Nanfeng turned his head and saw Xiao Liyu cautiously hiding behind him, looking at Yang Ruoyun with a wary expression.
“This one is also very cute.” Liu Nanfeng blocked her with his arm.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here,” Liu Nanfeng whispered into Xiao Liyu’s ear.
Yang Ruoyun looked teasingly at Su Jinxiu, who had followed in behind them.
However, as soon as Su Jinxiu entered, she reached out, picked up Xiao Liyu, and placed her beside Liu Nanfeng.
Then, with a calm expression, she said, “Let’s eat.”
Yang Ruoyun: …
Knowing Xiao Liyu’s large appetite, although Su Jinxiu’s meal was not extravagant, the portions were exceptionally generous.
However, with Liu Nanfeng’s sudden arrival, the portions now seemed a little insufficient.
But that was fine; Liu Nanfeng had bought a pile of snacks earlier, so they could eat them if they felt particularly hungry.
“Aba, aba…”
Seeing everyone else eating but her, Xiao Jinhua became anxious. Her little hands flailed, her little bottom wiggled, and she was restless in Liu Nanfeng’s arms.
“You don’t have any teeth yet, you can’t eat this.”
“Puff puff puff…”
Good heavens, she even knew how to express her displeasure with “puff puff” now.
“Here, eat this.” Xiao Liyu held up a half-eaten large chicken leg and offered it to Xiao Jinhua’s mouth.
Xiao Jinhua’s eyes immediately lit up, her mouth opened wide, and her tongue stretched out long.
“Puff,” everyone couldn’t help but laugh. Yang Ruoyun opposite them even choked from laughing, as the baby’s posture was too comical.
“No, little sister can’t eat this yet.”
Su Jinxiu, smiling, stopped her from nearby and then got up, taking the nearby milk bottle and placing it into Xiao Jinhua’s hand.
The little one was very clever; as soon as she felt the bottle, she shoved it into her mouth. However, after sucking twice, she got nothing. She curiously lowered her head to look at the milk bottle in her hand; there was milk inside.
So, she turned to look at Liu Nanfeng, who was holding her.
“Oh… oh…”
She made an “oh” sound, her little belly puffing out with each sound.
“What does she mean?” Liu Nanfeng asked, confused.
“She wants you to hold her horizontally; that way, it’s more convenient for her to drink milk,” Su Jinxiu said with a smile.
Liu Nanfeng’s face lit up with surprise.
“My goodness, this little one is so smart.”
He then held Xiao Jinhua horizontally in his arms, and sure enough, the little one immediately hugged her milk bottle with her hands and feet and began to drink greedily.
Looking at her adorable little appearance, Liu Nanfeng felt boundless joy swell in his heart.
After the meal, Liu Nanfeng, carrying Xiao Jinhua, took Gugou and Xiao Liyu to the swing. Su Jinxiu and Su Huamei began to clear the dishes, and Yang Ruoyun, seeing that she had nothing to do, also helped.
“Sister, I truly admire you,” Yang Ruoyun said suddenly, looking at the busy Su Jinxiu.
“Admire me? Why?” Su Jinxiu asked curiously.
Su Huamei also perked up her ears, eavesdropping.
“You’re so magnanimous. I couldn’t do that. Back then, if I heard Arun was involved with other women, I would have been very angry.”
Su Jinxiu smiled upon hearing this, saying, “It’s all in the past. Don’t be too harsh about some things. Regardless, he belongs to me now. What more could I ask for?”
Yang Ruoyun fell silent, perhaps pondering something.
However, after Yang Ruoyun left, Su Huamei said with some dissatisfaction, “Sister, why did you tell her all that? If she figures things out and tries to snatch your husband, what will you do?”
“She won’t. I trust Nanfeng. Besides, Yang Ruoyun isn’t that kind of person.”
Although Yang Ruoyun appeared innocent and cheerful, with a lively personality, she was actually a person with strong opinions and was extremely stubborn. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have wandered alone in the world for over three hundred years for Feng Zhirun, enduring endless loneliness.
“Men are all the same,” Su Huamei grumbled unhappily.
“I know,” Su Jinxiu did not deny it, nor did she believe Liu Nanfeng was special or different.
“It’s just that we trust each other. I trust that if anything happens, he will tell me. As long as I don’t agree, he will respect my opinion. That’s the best kind of relationship.”
What Su Huamei admired most about her sister was this: no matter what happened, she remained calm and composed, even in matters of the heart. Everything seemed effortless for her.
“Hey, I want to go home. Let me out.”
As Liu Nanfeng was having Xiao Liyu hold Xiao Jinhua, pushing the swing from behind to send them high into the air, Yang Ruoyun ran over.
“Uh… out? You should stay here for a while longer, recover from your injuries first.”
“I don’t want to,” Yang Ruoyun said stubbornly.
“I’d like to, but I’m not in Jiangcheng right now, but in Jiangyou. Are you sure you want to be left alone in Jiangyou if I let you out?” Liu Nanfeng spread his hands helplessly.
“Jiangyou…? What are you doing in Jiangyou?” Yang Ruoyun asked instinctively.
Then she realized that Liu Nanfeng was not someone to her.
“Alright, then how long will you be staying in Jiangyou?”
“I don’t know. It could be one or two days, or as long as a week,” Liu Nanfeng said, glancing at Gugou beside him.
“Nanfeng, let’s go out with you tomorrow. It’s not good to not see people for too long. Since we’re already in Jiangyou, it’s a good opportunity to explore,” Su Jinxiu said as she walked out of the house.
“That’s a good idea. I was planning to rent a small four-seater car, but it seems I’ll need to rent a bigger one to take you all around.”
“Are we going out to play?” Xiao Liyu, who had been listening to their conversation, craned her neck, her face full of excitement.
“Yes, going out to play.”
“Will there be good food?”
“Yes.”
“Oh…”
Xiao Liyu cheered, lifting Xiao Jinhua in her hands, which startled Liu Nanfeng, who feared she might drop the baby.
Although only one night had passed outside, Liu Nanfeng had spent five days in Guanshanhai.
During these five days, besides accompanying the Su sisters, he had taken the three little ones everywhere to play.
As for Yang Ruoyun’s injuries, after several days of rest, combined with the abundant spiritual energy in Guanshanhai, she had almost fully recovered.
However, when Liu Nanfeng told her that he had avenged her, Yang Ruoyun was initially surprised, then her expression became somewhat complex.
She hadn’t expected Liu Nanfeng to be so concerned about her affairs.
She wanted to repay him.
“Sister Su, you should keep a close eye on your husband. He’s so good to a woman he just met. If he’s known her longer, who knows what he’ll do? It’s called being broadly loving if you put it nicely, but frankly, he’s a scumbag.”
