Happy Divorce Chapter 6 (Part 2)
Happy Divorce Chapter 6 (Part 2) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
Yan Feixi thought about it and decided to ask a few stewards to talk to Yinfeng later. That guy had been away for so long, and the stores he managed must have accumulated a lot of accounts.
“What, don’t you want me to accompany you?” His handsome face still smiled, but his slightly bent tea-colored eyes seemed slightly unhappy.
Aware of his anger, Su Manlu felt inexplicable and didn’t understand why he was unhappy. After all, he had just returned to the Tang family, and someone should be waiting for his return.
She had not forgotten that he eloped with Lan’er.
Although she never asked about him and Lan’er, she was deeply impressed by his true love for Lan’er when he liked her so much that he wanted her as his concubine and finally eloped with her.
Since he was one of the heads of the Tang family and had taken root here, Lan’er should also be by his side. Maybe the two of them had already gotten married.
It’s not like Su Manlu didn’t know that he was being nice to her these days out of guilt. He felt sorry for her, so he changed the terms of cooperation and allowed the Su family to receive many benefits just to compensate her.
She didn’t need him to make amends at all. It only made her feel hypocritical. If the wounds she had suffered could disappear through compensation, she would have made the Yan family disappear long ago to compensate for her pain.
But why should she reject his self-righteousness? This was no loss to her, was it?
She accepted it silently as if she didn’t know anything——since he wanted to make amends, she let him. She wanted to see what he could do.
As for everything that happened in the forest... Su Manlu let herself forget it. Didn’t he regret it too? In this case, just pretend that nothing happened.
Anyway, after leaving Mosha City, she and he were just strangers.
“You can accompany me if you want.” She replied coldly and didn’t ask about Lan’er. What was there to ask? He eloped with Lan’er.
Whether he and Lan’er were married or not, it was none of her business. Greed should not be too much. If it was excessive, it became extravagant.
Today was the fifth day of the amuda. Although it was night, the streets were brightly lit, and Mosha City was bustling with activity.
Many foreigners could be seen in the city. Most foreign girls wore small coats, short skirts, and many silver ornaments. Their bright and generous appearance could be said to be the city’s beauty.
Of course, many foreign merchants also sold rare exotic items or exchanged goods for goods.
Such a scene made Su Manlu watch with relish. When she saw a tall red-haired man passing by, her eyes widened in novelty.
The man was so tall that she seemed only up to his waist.
The red-haired man also noticed her and shouted in surprise, “Petite girl, your clothes are so beautiful.” His accent was a bit strange, and you really would not understand what he was saying if you didn’t listen carefully.
She didn’t expect the red-haired man to talk to her, and Su Manlu was slightly shocked.
She wore a pink and white double-breasted dress, a red shawl, a belt embroidered with gilt thread tied into a complicated knot around her waist, and a small, exquisite sachet.
Her southern dress was more eye-catching than the bright, exotic clothes.
Su Manlu blinked. She understood the red-haired man’s words and couldn’t help but smile, “Thank you, your hair color is also gorgeous.”
“Oh... the girl has a beautiful smile too.” The red-haired man was amazed and took out a short flute of purple glass from his arms. “Here, give this to the beautiful girl.”
Unexpectedly, the red-haired man would give her something. Su Manlu was shocked, “No, this is too expensive.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay.” The red-haired man forced the item into Su Manlu’s hand.
Su Manlu had no choice but to accept it. After thinking about it, she took off the sachet from her waist. “This is a return gift. It contains sage, marigolds, and some spices to calm the mind and help one sleep well.” She stretched out her hand to give the sachet to the red-haired man, but another hand took it away on the way.
Yan Feixi grabbed the sachet; his handsome face was gloomy, and he was obviously in a bad mood.
He was unhappy when he saw her smiling at the red-haired man. He didn’t expect that she would give the sachet to someone else now. Could such a thing be given away casually?
“What are you doing?” Su Manlu frowned at him and wanted to take back the sachet.
Yan Feixi raised his hand high and refused to let her take it due to his height.
“Yan Feixi!” Su Manlu was a little angry when she couldn’t get it.
Yan Feixi ignored her, removed the Nanman penannular jade pendant from his body, and threw it to the red-haired man. “Here, this is the return gift for the jade flute.” After saying that, he roughly pulled Su Manlu away.
“Wait, how could you do this... Yan Feixi! Let go!” She didn’t expect him to do such a rude thing. Su Manlu yelled angrily, wanting to throw his hand away, but he held it tightly. “Yan Feixi... your grip hurts my hand!”
When she said her hand hurt, Yan Feixi quickly stopped and loosened his grip, but her wrist was already red.
Su Manlu withdrew her hand, rubbed her wrist in displeasure, and stared at him with beautiful eyes. “Why did you take my sachet? It’s what I wanted to give away.”
“Hmph, I’ve given you so many things, and I haven’t seen you ever return a gift. Why did you return a gift when that man gave you a broken flute?” And she even smiled at that man. He gave her so many little things, but he never saw her smile like that at him.
If he hadn’t seen that she really liked the glazed purple flute, he would have just thrown the flute back to the red-haired man.
D*mn, made him waste a piece of jade.
His sarcastic tone also made Su Manlu unhappy. “I didn’t ask you to give me anything. If you don’t want to give it to me, you don’t have to.”
Not wanting to talk to him anymore, Su Manlu turned around and left.
That was not what he meant. Of course, he was willing to give her anything. He just, just...
Yan Feixi was upset because he just couldn’t stand seeing her smile at that guy and giving him a sachet... Did she know what giving a man a sachet meant in the Northeast?
He quickly caught up with her. “Su Manlu, don’t wander around. You might get lost.” He grabbed her hand, but she threw it away.
“Go away, I have to apologize to someone.” Su Manlu suddenly stopped and spread her palm toward him. “Give me back the sachet.”
“No!” Yan Feixi put the sachet into his arms. “I gave him a Nanman jade as a gift in return. That piece of jade is definitely worth more than your sachet...” D*mn it, he said the wrong thing.
But it was too late. Su Manlu was completely angry.
