Chapter 2035: Chapter 2036: Awakened by a Word

Gong Le wasn’t upset at all and continued smiling, ”Big Brother Qing thinks I’m great just like this and really likes me this way.”

An Yiqing agreed, ”You are great this way, no need for me to guess what’s on your mind, you just tell me directly.”

”Exactly, exactly.” Gong Le nodded happily.

Ye Zhi could only shake her head and smile wryly.

However, Gong Juechen was still somewhat immersed in the emotions of his beloved daughter Gong Le about to get married, and didn’t say a word.

...

On Double Ninth Festival, also halfway to the Imperial City, at the inn, Su Yixing checked Huo Qingyi’s pulse again. Seeing that Huo Qingyi wasn’t pregnant, he immediately went to happily tell An Jing and Xiao Changyi.

Upon hearing this, An Jing neither rejoiced nor was disappointed, simply said, ”There are still over four months until the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month next year, just bear with it for a while longer.”

Su Yixing: ”...” Bear what, of course he knows, the problem is he sleeps with Huo Qingyi every day, he thinks it’s highly unlikely he’ll be able to hold back during this period.

An Jing no longer concerned herself with Su Yixing and instead turned around, gleefully telling Xiao Changyi about the three joyous events their family will celebrate on the twenty-eighth of the first lunar month next year.

Su Yixing: ”...”

...

At this moment, Huo Qingyi was alone, staying in one of the rooms in the inn.

This was the room she shared with Su Yixing.

Since Su Yixing confirmed by taking her pulse that she wasn’t pregnant, he had gone to An Jing’s room and hadn’t returned yet.

”Second Sister-in-law, where’s Second Brother?” Suddenly, An Baobei entered the room.

The entire second floor of the inn had been reserved, and there were people guarding it closely, so An Baobei running from her room to this one posed no safety risk.

Huo Qingyi replied, ”He went to Father and Mother’s room.” Ever since An Jing learned that Su Yixing and she secretly married, An Jing told her to call her Mother and naturally call Xiao Changyi Father.

”Oh never mind then, I was planning to ask him to keep me company for a while since I can’t sleep.”

An Baobei turned to leave but after taking a couple of steps, she looked back and leaned in toward Huo Qingyi, seriously asking, ”Second Sister-in-law, do you really not like Second Brother?”

Huo Qingyi immediately retorted, ”I don’t dislike him.”

”So you like him then!”

”Like...” Huo Qingyi’s face froze as if realizing a deep truth. After a moment, she hurriedly waved her hands and shook her head, ”No, no, I just see the Young Master as my master, not romantically.” As she spoke, her heart felt very unsure, very unsure.

Being young, An Baobei didn’t doubt Huo Qingyi’s words and truly believed she was telling the truth, immediately becoming disappointed, ”You and Second Brother have already exchanged vows, Second Brother is your husband, how can you not like your own husband?”

With that, leaving Huo Qingyi be, An Baobei left.

Leaving Huo Qingyi alone, blankly staring.

She finally understood why she felt so much more emotion than before; it turned out, it was because she liked Su Yixing.

But Su Yixing was her master; she isn’t worthy to like him, she shouldn’t like him, and she doesn’t dare to like him.

Thinking of this, Huo Qingyi’s eyes dimmed.

If it hadn’t been for An Baobei’s words waking her as if from a dream, she wouldn’t have realized she actually liked Su Yixing.

Just like An Baobei said, Su Yixing is now her husband, how could she not like her husband; but what use is it if she likes him, he doesn’t like her, he likes Gong Le.

It’s Gong Le.

Without a doubt.

He even personally told her so.

And she, is only his subordinate. She just needs to obediently listen to him.
