Happy Divorce Chapter 6 (Part 1)
Happy Divorce Chapter 6 (Part 1) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
The city in the Northeast was built along the Great Anhui Mountains and relied on animal husbandry for a living. Most of the people here were nomadic. There were many different ethnic groups, and each tribe had its own customs. Mosha City could be said to be the largest city in the Northeast.
The houses here were built with marble. Although they were not as impressive as the carved beams and painted buildings in the south, they have a simple and natural feel.
The Tang family was located in an alley to the west of Mosha City, covering an area of 100 square meters. It was also a marble building, but the roof tiles were made of blue bricks. Although it had mottled marks left by the years, it still retained its nobility. The buildings were paved with white stones. There were paths, bridges, and flowing water. Instead of flowers, medicinal herbs, fruits, and vegetables were planted in the garden, and even the trees bore unripe fruits.
The main house in the middle was where the masters lived; the small houses on the left and right served as common rooms for the servants, and the courtyard in the backyard was the guest room. Su Manlu was a very important guest of the Tang family and did not stay in the backyard but was arranged in the main house.
It just so happened that she stayed next door to Yan Feixi.
This arrangement made Bi Luo slightly complain, but the young lady didn’t say anything, and she didn’t dare to express her concerns further, although she felt anxious inside.
After being carried back by Yan Feixi from the forest at that time, the young lady no longer seemed to reject that man and would sometimes engage in conversation with Yan Feixi.
On the way to Mosha City, Yan Feixi would give the young lady local gadgets or buy her some small cakes whenever he visited a town. In short, he was extremely attentive.
This strange situation made Bi Luo more and more worried. She was truly afraid that the young lady couldn’t forget her feelings and would be hurt again.
“What’s wrong with you, Bi Luo? Why are you standing there in a daze?” Su Manlu turned around and saw Bi Luo with a sad face at the door.
“Miss...” Bi Luo hesitated, unsure of whether to speak up.
Su Manlu had already guessed what Bi Luo was going to say. She smiled slightly. “Don’t worry, I’m cautious.” She knew Bi Luo was worried about Yan Feixi, considering how close they had become these days.
It was not that she didn’t want to refuse; it was just that she couldn’t resist his tenderness. Although her heart was always throbbing with pain, she still couldn’t push him away.
Perhaps her greed made her want to enjoy his care more, even if it constantly reminded her of the past. But when she left the Northeast, she would never see him again.
Su Manlu told Bi Luo about the agreement she had made with Aunt Lian. “Don’t worry. I promised Aunt Lian that when I return to Nanxi City, I will find a husband and get married within a month.”
“What?” Bi Luo was shocked by the news. “In such a hurry, did Miss promise Madam?”
“Yes.” Su Manlu smiled and said calmly, “I’m not young anymore. It’s time to get married. At least, I need to give birth to a child quickly to inherit the Su family.”
“Then Yan Feixi...”
“After leaving Mosha City, he and I will never have the chance to meet again.” Su Manlu smiled and patted Bi Luo’s face to comfort her. “Besides, he is one of the heads of the Tang family. Since we want to do business with the Tang family, we can’t always avoid him.”
Bi Luo nodded clearly, although she was still worried in her heart. Since the young lady had decided so, she would not say anything more.
However, she still wanted to emphasize, “Don’t worry, Miss, Bi Luo will protect you and never let Yan Feixi bully you again.” As she spoke, she shook her clenched fists with teeth and claws.
Su Manlu was amused by Bi Luo.
Yan Feixi heard laughter as soon as he arrived at the door, and then he saw her smile——this was the first time he had seen her smile so happily.
Her beautiful eyes were bright and curved, radiating joy like a pool of autumn water. Her delicate, small face was gentle and charming, making one unable to help but pause for this smile.
“What are you laughing about?” Standing by the door, Yan Feixi couldn’t help but ask, feeling slightly jealous of the maid named Bi Luo. It was evident that Su Manlu’s smile was for her; as soon as he appeared, her smile faded, as if he had disturbed her.
This made him feel uncomfortable. She would not refuse his closeness and would even talk to him, but he could sense that her response was superficial, with a shallow smile. It was an alienation that was hard to detect.
She never mentioned the kiss in the forest, as if it had never happened. Her attitude was so indifferent. In comparison, Yan Feixi felt a little anxious.
He never thought he would kiss her... It was over the line. He just wanted to make amends but never considered touching her. Although he did have desires for her——he admitted it.
But he thought it was because he hadn’t been with a woman in too long. Thinking about it, he seemed to have been stoic for a while. In that atmosphere, she looked at him with that expression again, and her pink lips were so tempting that he couldn’t suppress his impulse.
After regaining his senses, he felt a little regretful. He was afraid that Su Manlu would think wildly. Who knew he was worrying too much, as Su Manlu was much calmer than he was.
Thinking of this, Yan Feixi felt tight in his chest. It’s a man’s self-esteem that’s causing trouble! Remembering her efforts to please him back then, he realized she had now become cold and indifferent. Instead, it seemed like he was trying to please her.
There was no way. Who made him feel guilty?
Yan Feixi sighed inwardly, but his handsome face still smiled as if nothing had happened. He asked her slightly curiously, “What makes you laugh so happily?”
“It’s nothing.” Su Manlu shook her head slightly and asked him, “Is something wrong?”
Seeing that she didn’t say anything, Yan Feixi didn’t ask any more questions and smiled: “There is an Amuda in Mosha City tonight. Do you want to go look around?” Amuda was a unique market in the Northeast. It was held once every six months for ten consecutive days. During these ten days, many caravans would come from the trade route, selling items that were only available in foreign lands.
Su Manlu had also heard a little about Amuda and was, of course, interested in this unique market, but... She asked Yan Feixi with some confusion, “You want to go look around with me?”
“Of course.” Otherwise, who would she like to accompany her, Tang Yinfeng?
