Happy Divorce Chapter 7 (Part 2)
Happy Divorce Chapter 7 (Part 2) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
Did he think she would forgive him if he kept trying to please her like this?
Impossible! It didn’t matter what he did; it was pointless. She would not relent, never. Yet, faced with his smile, Su Manlu found it hard to speak harshly. She understood the principle of not hitting a smiling person.
Helpless, she could only look away in annoyance, gritted her teeth, and said to him, “I don’t need you to worry.” But little did she know that in Yan Feixi’s eyes, she appeared like a troubled child, cute and endearing.
It didn’t matter if she was cold and harsh to him. At least she was willing to pay attention to him, so he was satisfied. He had been cruel to her before, so it felt only right for her to give it back now.
He could wait patiently for the ice wall around her heart to melt and for her to stop hating him.
Yan Feixi gazed deeply at Su Manlu; the smile on his lips was tender and intoxicating. However, when his eyes shifted to Shui Lan’er, his smile faded slightly, transforming into a distant politeness.
Shui Lan’er noticed all of his expressions and felt disappointed, yet she managed to force a smile and said to him, “I just want to apologize to Miss Su. I have no other intention...” Lowering her head in silence, she eventually raised it again, a smile of relief now gracing her face. “That’s good... I can finally decide to accept Dayuan’s marriage proposal.”
Dayuan was the leader of the Nanyi tribe and had always wanted to marry her, but she had cared for Yan Feixi and was hesitant to agree. Now, it was time for her to accept the man who had been waiting for her.
Yan Feixi was also aware of Dayuan’s pursuit of Shui Lan’er. Dayuan was his cousin.
He came to the Northeast two years ago, but his maternal grandparents were no longer around. Knowing that his mother had passed away, his uncle was very sad and lamented that his sister had been too foolish.
That was when Yan Feixi and Dayuan met. He recognized that Dayuan was a good man.
His handsome face evoked a clear and bright smile. He sincerely wished Shui Lan’er, “Don’t forget to invite me to a cup of wedding wine when the time comes.”
“Okay.” Shui Lan’er replied with a smile. She glanced at Su Manlu and then looked at Yan Feixi with a mischievous glint in her eyes. “But you, it seems, the future will be difficult.” This Su Manlu before her was no longer the gentle and submissive woman she had been back then.
“I think so too.” Yan Feixi nodded in agreement but looked at Su Manlu with extremely gentle eyes, clearly not worried at all about how he might be tormented.
Shui Lan’er smiled, brushed away the sadness in her heart, and stood up.
“Then I’m leaving first.” Shui Lan’er nodded lightly at Su Manlu, turned, and left without a trace of nostalgia.
A man was waiting for her downstairs. She knew her happiness awaited her there.
Of course, Yan Feixi also noticed the Nanyi man standing downstairs. They met each other when they walked into the teahouse, both men nodding before each turned their attention to their women.
However, the girl he liked was not as easy to care for as Shui Lan’er——look, she was ready to leave as if he weren’t even there.
“Manlu.” Yan Feixi pulled her back.
“Let go.” Su Manlu glared at his hand with a cold expression.
Yan Feixi obediently released her, but he stepped forward to block her way, preventing her from leaving. His handsome face looked pitiful.
“Are you hungry? Do you want to eat together?”
“No.” Su Manlu replied without a moment's thought. Faced with him, she simply couldn’t eat.
She tried to move to the side, but he shifted too, blocking her path again. Su Manlu felt a surge of annoyance and glared at him coldly. “Move aside, don’t block the road.”
“No.” He acted as if nothing was amiss, adopting an aggrieved look. “It’s almost noon, and I came out looking for you without having breakfast. Just join me for a meal, okay?”
Even worse. What did his breakfast have to do with her? Besides, why should she join him?
“Sorry, I still have things to do. If Young Master Yan wants company, there are plenty of girls who would be happy to join you.” She said coldly, moving to step around him.
Yan Feixi continued to block her with a rogue look on his face. “But I just want you to keep me company.”
“Yan Feixi!” Her anger flared, and Su Manlu gritted her teeth as she glared at him. “Haven’t you heard that a good dog doesn’t block the road? Get out of the way!”
Yan Feixi tilted his head, pondering her words. His handsome face still bore a mischievous smile as he winked at her playfully. “Then I won’t be a good dog. I’ll be a bad dog, woof!”
Unexpectedly, he was so thick-skinned. Su Manlu was taken aback, while the guests around them couldn’t help but laugh.
“Girl, just have a meal with him! Look, he’s willing to be a bad dog for you.” Someone began to tease.
“Yes! Yes! Girl, just agree!” The teahouse proprietress also chimed in, staring at Yan Feixi. Who knew this young man was so handsome? He made their hearts flutter. “This kid is so good-looking. If I were ten years younger, I’d be all over him.” With the straightforwardness typical of the Northeast and the warm, generous nature of the women, there was no shame in saying this.
Yan Feixi smiled at the proprietress, but his peach blossom tea-colored eyes remained fixed on Su Manlu. “Thank you, boss lady, for your affection. But I don’t want just anyone—I want Manlu.”
Oh——upon hearing this, whistles erupted from all around.
Su Manlu felt ashamed and angry, her face turning red. But Yan Feixi appeared innocent and didn’t care about his dignity as a man, so he humbly begged her.
“Alright, come eat with me, okay? I heard from the servant that you went out without breakfast. It doesn’t matter if I skip a meal, but I don’t want you to be hungry.” He spoke such intimate words without shame and didn’t mind that so many people were eavesdropping around.
