~ MISS MU DELIVERING DUMPLINGS ~
Yue Wang’s eyes focused on the lake below. For the first time in his deep eyes, he retreated from the cold and filled with astonishment. He never thought that a woman could be so warm, just like a cluster of flames burning through the cold winter. She seemed to be a mystery. At first, he thought her courage was too small. But he didn’t expect that she could calm herself to bandage his wound and steal his own dagger to kill others. After that, he thought that she was deep-minded, but heard that she selflessly helps Ding Yuelan and saves Ci You Bureau's orphan. Now that he thought, he could finally see her clearly, yet he sees such a warm and pure side of her.
Yet such a complicated and incomprehensible girl was secretly falling for him.
Thinking about that, Yue Wang could not help but tremble his fingers, and he took the cold teacup beside him and drank it all in one gulp.
Steward Qin, who had just come back to his senses, saw this scene and could not help but laugh inside. He quickly orders people to change into hot tea.
“Wang Ye, please try this. It is the latest stir-fried lotus tea.”
Yue Wang raised his teacup and took a sip. After that, he once again cast his gaze towards the lake. It was just that Mu Yunyao was no longer on the surface of the lake. All that left was a piece of red silk that meandered across the ice.
Steward Qin followed his gaze, and the smile in his heart deepened. “Wang Ye, Miss Mu must have gone down to change her clothes.” After getting along with each other these days, he had a good understanding of Miss Mu’s propriety. Normally, she would play around with a few female apprentices on weekdays, so it didn’t matter if she wore ice-sporty clothes. However, if Miss Mu plans to see Wang Ye, her slightly shorter skirt would definitely make her feel very uncomfortable. Therefore, she must have changed her clothes before coming to see him.
Seeing the crowd on the lake gradually dissipate, Yu Heng couldn’t help but step forward and suggest, “Wang Ye, you have been struggling all the way. Do you want to go back to your room to rest first?” Steward Qin slightly narrowed his eyes. His gaze fell on Yu Heng’s body, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Yu Yi, who was at the side, couldn’t help but shiver and ruthlessly tug at the corner of Yu Heng’s clothes. Unbeknownst to what his heart was feeling, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, “The scenery in the garden is so beautiful. Naturally, Wang Ye wants to enjoy it first and then go back to have a rest.”
Yu Heng took a look around that was covered in snow, which is full of depression. How could he see that the scenery was good?
However, Yue Wang nodded his head: “Well, it’s okay to enjoy it.”
Yu Heng blinked his eyes. Could it be that the scenery was really great and he didn’t know how to appreciate it?
After a while, Mu Yunyao had changed her clothes and returned to Jin Xiu Garden. When she saw that there were still figures in the pavilion, she couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows.
When she saw the man’s cold aura that resembled Yue Wang, he did not have the mood to play around. After that, she went straight to her room to change her clothes. She rushed over, thinking that Yue Wang would go back to rest, but he still stayed in the pavilion.
Mu Yunyao walked into the pavilion and bowed her knees directly: “Mu Yunyao greet Yue Wang.”
Yue Wang put down his teacup and lightly rubbed the edge of the cushion with his finger: “Get up. My identity is not suitable for others to know. In the future, there will be no need to be so courteous. It’s better to call me Fourth Master.
Mu Yunyao hurriedly stood up. The ground in the middle of winter was like ice, so naturally, she couldn’t wait to greet him. “Yes, Fourth Master. Are you here to check up on Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo this time?”
Yue Wang nodded slightly: “That’s right. Bu Xian Luo, you are doing a great job.”
Mu Yunyao smiled. “Wang Ye praises me too much. Speak of which, this matter has always managed by Steward Qin. Other than teaching how to brew tea, I haven’t really helped much.”
Steward Qin quickly said, “Miss Mu is too modest. It was all thanks to Miss’s efforts to making tea, frying tea, and even helping Bu Xian Lou in raising his reputation. If I were the only one, I would certainly close the door before it even opened.”
Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but smile, “It’s not as serious as you say. That’s right, when I just came over, my mother asked me to ask you to borrow some people to make dumplings. There were many people in two places, and there were a lot of dumplings to be made.”
“Alright, I’ll have Yun Chun bring some people over later.”
Mu Yunyao was about to express her gratitude when she saw Yue Wang stand up and hurriedly swallow the words on the tip of her tongue. “Wang Ye, are you going back to rest?”
Yue Wang nodded his head. His incomparably handsome face, which had a snow-white fox fur coat added to it, was cold and aloof as if he was not affected by the atmosphere at all.
Mu Yunyao’s mind was sharp as she felt something wasn’t right when she saw Yue Wang like this. She subconsciously opened her mouth and said, “Then Wang Ye can go back and rest. When you’ve rested, I’ve almost filled up the dumplings, and I’ll bring you some more to try.”
Yue Wang’s expression changed as he nodded his head slightly. Then, he brought his men and left. If Mu Yunyao hadn’t carefully observed him, she probably wouldn’t have been able to see the curve of his head.
Steward Qin was all smiles as he bowed to Mu Yunyao, “Then I’ll have to trouble Miss Mu later.”
“You are too kind, Steward Qin.”
Jin Lan and Jin Qiao walked over. “Miss, was that Young Master just now the true owner of Jin Xiu Garden?”
“Yes, you can call him Fourth Master Ning. His personality is cold and unpredictable. For the rest of the time, don’t casually come in and out of Jin Xiu Garden. Also, don’t attract his attention. Otherwise, I won’t be able to save you when the time comes.” The two of them hurriedly nodded, “Yes, Miss. Please rest assured. We will also restrain others.” After all, Jin Xiu Garden borrowed. If the owner is not there, they will come in and play around. But now that the owner had returned, it would be a bit overwhelming. In other words, they would feel unhappy in their hearts.
After wrapping the dumplings, Su Qing washed her hands and returned to the room. Seeing Mu Yunyao leaning against the soft couch lazily, she couldn’t help but ask, “What happened? I just heard Jin Lan and Jin Qiao complaining to me that you won all their monthly silver?” Mu Yunyao retracted her gaze and hurriedly retorted, “It’s them that want to bet with me. You can’t blame me for this. After all, their skills are inferior to mine.” When she was at Jin Wang’s Mansion, she had liked ice sports because she can wear skates to walk on the surface of the ice. Other people could not see the flaws in her legs, and she could win praise too.
“You brat, the next day will be the New Year. On the first day of tomorrow, you have to send them a few red envelopes. It wasn’t easy for them to follow us during this time.”
“Alright. I’ll listen to Mother.”
“Alright, hurry up and get up. The dumplings had wrapped. There’s your favorite meat of lotus roots and bamboo shoot stuffing. I’ll cook a few for you to taste later.” Su Qing lovingly caressed Mu Yunyao’s hair as she held her hand and pulled her up.” This girl, as long as she was lying on the soft couch, was very lazy. If she didn’t pull her up, she wouldn’t be stand up even if she said it ten times. Mu Yunyao sighed, “Mother, please cook more. The owner of Jin Xiu Garden next door has returned. When he heard that we wanted to eat dumplings, he was also very envious. Please, Mother cooks more so that we could send it to him.”
“The owner of Jin Xiu Garden, Is Fourth Master Ning you mentioned before?”
“That’s right, who else could it be other than him?”
“Then you wait, Mother will cook it herself, and then you can send it over to him. If it weren’t for him generously lending Jin Xiu Garden to us, we wouldn’t be able to have Bu Xian Luo. We will repay this debt of gratitude.”
Thank you so much for translating! Κ•α΄₯•ΚοΎ♡
ReplyDelete*attention attention* the male lead has appeared *attention attention*
ReplyDeletehaha Finally! I was beginning to think that the author was just going to leave him out to dry wherever he was and we wouldn't see him for another hundred or so chapters...
Thanks for the chapters, and stay safe!
"Yet such a complicated and incomprehensible girl was secretly falling for him. "
ReplyDeleteLOL thanks to Yu Yi's stupidness, Yue Wang will think (at least for a while) he is just being considerate to a teen that has a crush on him XD that may result on him denying he is the one who's falling for the other first!
