Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1130: Chapter 1131: Helping You Would Be a Miracle

Gong Juechen’s peach blossom eyes suddenly lit up, ”So, she doesn’t dislike bathing?”

”Rubbish!”

”That’s great~” Gong Juechen couldn’t hide his delight, ”If I get to live with her in the future, I won’t have to worry about persuading her to bathe every day~”

An Jing: ”...The matter isn’t even settled yet, and you’re already thinking about living together?”

”You’re all paired up, and it’s just her and me, one unmarried girl and one unmarried guy. Isn’t that just perfect?” He paused for a moment, Gong Juechen’s smile grew even wider, ”Of course, it’s mainly because she’s good-looking. Even though she’s not as stunningly beautiful as Jade Jade or Lanlan, she has a charm that grows on you. Just look at how tiny her face is, I secretly measured it just now and found out it’s even smaller than my hand.”

An Jing: ”...”

”Jingjing, won’t you help me out?” Gong Juechen shamelessly pleaded with an expectant face. ”Back then, you put in a lot of effort to bring Jade Jade and Zhuzhu together.”

An Jing very decisively said: ”No help.”

”Why?”

”I don’t think Ye Zhi would be happy with you.” She paused, ”Mainly because, Ye Zhi really, really, really dislikes you. If you don’t change your personality, don’t expect her to look at you in a good light.”

Gong Juechen immediately complained, ”Who told you not to mention that she’s actually good-looking?”

An Jing gave him a sidelong glance, full of contempt, ”It’s all because you judge people by their appearance, and you still blame me?”

”I’ve always liked good-looking people. I’ve always been like this, and it’s not like you just found out today that I judge by appearance,” Gong Juechen said, unabashed about his shallowness.

”Look at you, just liking Ye Zhi for her face. I’d be haunted if I helped you.” She didn’t want to harm her comrade. ”Enough, I won’t talk about Ye Zhi with you. In any case, I won’t help you.”

”Then I’m leaving.” Other people helped him, so Gong Juechen decided to go find Ye Zhi himself.

”Hey, wait a minute.” An Jing stopped him again.

”Weren’t you not going to help me?”

”I’m not stopping you to help out. I wanted to tell you, tomorrow is my adoptive father’s birthday.”

”Oh.” Gong Juechen responded somewhat indifferently. Immediately afterward, he asked quite cheerfully, ”Is there anything else? If not, I’ll be going to find my Zhizhi~”

An Jing immediately gave him a sidelong glance, ”Be careful or she might hit you.”

”No problem, no problem, I’m not afraid.” Gong Juechen appeared completely unconcerned.

An Jing: ”...”

...

The next day was the Emperor of Xiyun’s birthday,

Not only did the Emperor of Xiyun come to Prince Yi’s Mansion, but Su Chengyu, Ning Wenxian, Su Muchen, and Su Muxue also came.

Xiao Changyi had spoken to Meng Lanqing several days earlier, asking him to bring Gong Juese to the mansion on this day.

When the Emperor of Xiyun arrived, everyone first paid their respects to the Emperor of Xiyun. Gong Juechen, Gong Juese, Ye Zhi, and others all knelt.

The Emperor of Xiyun didn’t want to displease Gong Juechen, so he didn’t speak to Gong Juese directly but instead discreetly observed her while asking An Jing why there was suddenly an adopted sister Ye Zhi.

An Jing explained that she had met her when she went to the Capital for the Emperor of Xiyun’s birthday celebration, saying that Ye Zhi was now alone in the world and had come to the Capital to seek refuge with her.

To avoid raising suspicions, they split into two tables for the meal. One table for the Emperor of Xiyun, An Jing, Xiao Changyi, the four little ones, Su Chengyu, Ning Wenxian, Su Muchen, Su Muxue, and another table for Gong Juechen, Gong Juese, Ye Zhi, Meng Lanqing, Meng Zhuqing.

After the meal, the Emperor of Xiyun didn’t immediately return to the palace but sat in the pavilion with Su Chengyu and others, watching An Jing and the kids playing not far away.
