Happy Divorce Chapter 9 (Part 2)
Happy Divorce Chapter 9 (Part 2) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
“Miss Su, this agarwood is suitable for harvesting in spring, autumn, and rainy seasons. After removing the roots and mud, it needs to be sun-dried. It prefers a warm climate, and the soil should ideally be moist or sandy loam...”
Su Manlu listened carefully to the spice master’s explanation, frowning as she thought, “Master Chen, it seems that the south isn’t suitable for growing spices. It’s less about the climate and more about the soil quality.”
“That’s right.” Master Chen nodded. “Although the climate in the Northeast is unstable, the soil is fertile and very suitable for growing various plants.”
Su Manlu pursed her lips, thinking as she habitually touched the strands of hair falling over her chest, her eyebrows tightly furrowed.
It seemed this soil issue was not easy to resolve...
Seeing Su Manlu’s distressed expression, Master Chen couldn’t help but smile, watching her appreciatively and eagerly.
After spending several months with Miss Su, he couldn’t help but marvel at her intelligence. Not only was she smart, but she was also flexible in mind, gentle and courteous to others, without the arrogance of a wealthy lady.
At this moment, they were very close, and he could smell Miss Su’s fragrance, stirring his thoughts. He couldn’t resist moving closer to her.
“Miss Su...”
“Ahem.” A slight cough sounded almost imperceptibly, and then a thick arm wrapped around Su Manlu’s slim waist, pulling her away from Master Chen and into his embrace.
Su Manlu was startled and looked up, saying, “Why are you here?”
“Hmph, it’s a good thing I’m here.” Yan Feixi snorted coldly, casting an unhappy glance at Master Chen, still burning with anger over the previous scene.
That d*mn guy was way too close to his girl just now, and he even wanted to kiss Manlu’s hair. Was his Manlu something he could touch?
“What’s wrong?” Seeing Yan Feixi’s unkind stare at Master Chen, Su Manlu looked at the spice master with confusion.
Master Chen, feeling guilty, averted his gaze from Su Manlu, especially avoiding Yan Feixi’s sharp gaze that made him tremble. “Uh, Miss Su, it’s nothing. I’ll take my leave now.” Not daring to linger, he quickly ran away.
Su Manlu frowned and unhappily patted Yan Feixi’s hand around her waist. “Why are you scaring an honest man like Master Chen?”
Honest man?
Yan Feixi stared. “Did you know that he just wanted to...” He stopped short. No, if she knew that the man named Chen was interested in her, she would start to pay attention to him.
This wasn’t okay. Her attention could only be on him.
“Want to what?” Su Manlu asked puzzledly.
Yan Feixi gritted his teeth secretly and became annoyed when he saw that she had almost gotten her tofu eaten without even realizing it.
D*mn it, he really wanted to hide her.
He kissed her angrily. His tongue invaded her domineeringly, biting her lips, licking her small teeth, and blocking her mouth fiercely.
“Uhmm...” Su Manlu was breathless from the kiss and struggled, beating his chest before he reluctantly let her go.
Su Manlu gasped rapidly, her face was flushed, and her slightly swollen lips were so stunningly red that Yan Feixi couldn’t help but peck them several more times.
“Cough cough!” An unhappy cough came from behind.
Yan Feixi hugged his little lady and looked lazily at the visitor. “Is something wrong?”
Bi Luo glared at him unhappily. She was really dissatisfied with the fact that her young lady had forgiven this bad guy.
Oh, if the master and his wife found out about the young lady and Yan Feixi, she would definitely be skinned.
Su Manlu gave him a warning slap and turned to Bi Luo. “What’s wrong?”
“Miss, there’s a letter from Master.” Bi Luo handed the letter in her hand to Su Manlu.
Su Manlu opened it and raised her eyebrows slightly as she read.
“What’s wrong?” Yan Feixi asked, lifting an eyebrow.
“Father is asking when I’ll return.” She had been away for over four months, so it was no surprise her father was worried. Just then, she recalled something.
Yan Feixi also frowned. “What will happen if your father sees me coming back with you?”
“He will kill you.” Bi Luo replied cheerfully.
Yan Feixi was too lazy to pay attention to the little maid and hugged his girl tightly with both arms. “No matter what, I want to go back to Nanxi City with you, and I need to see your father’s face as well.” Anyway, the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth. If his father-in-law wanted to chop him, he wouldn’t hide.
“It’s not that simple.” Su Manlu rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache.
“What, you don’t believe me?” he asked, dissatisfied.
“No...” Su Manlu looked at him and sighed softly. “I promised Aunt Lian that after returning to Nanxi City, I must find a husband and get married within a month.”
“What?” Yan Feixi was dumbfounded.
Within a month? Looking for a husband? Marriage?
* * *
Yan Feixi felt angry, as if struck by a thunderbolt from a clear sky, but what hurt him even more was that his girl told him to stay obediently in Taozhen Tower, and without her consent, he could never go to Su’s mansion.
Why? Was he so shady?
She asked him to get out of the carriage just a mile outside the city gate, and refused to let him enter the city with her. She even threw a gauze hat at him, saying he was too eye-catching and needed to cover his face before entering the city.
What was this?
Why should a grown man wear a gauze hat like that?!
However, under Su Manlu’s cold gaze, Yan Feixi didn’t dare to disobey, so he actually put on the gauze hat and walked into the city.
Alas, who made him addicted to pampering her? How could he dare to make her angry or unhappy?
Thus, he could only endure the grievance and stay obediently in Taozhen Tower, waiting for his girl to summon him.
But what Yan Feixi was waiting for was the news that the eldest young lady of the Su family would be looking for a son-in-law in ten days in the Su family!
This was too much! Did his Manlu no longer want him?
How could this be possible?
Now, Yan Feixi couldn’t care less about Su Manlu’s order forbidding him from going to the Su mansion. Naturally, he went to the Su mansion in a huff——though before heading out, he obediently put on his gauze hat.
When he arrived at the Su family’s door, Yan Feixi was about to pick the knocker and knock on the door, but he stopped short.
He hadn’t forgotten the last time Uncle Wang had tried to hit him with a bamboo broom, so he wasn’t going to be foolish enough to knock——if it was Uncle Wang who answered, he feared he might not get to see Su Manlu at all.
Jumping over the wall to enter——Hey, he was not a thief, so of course, he had to enter it openly and honestly.
Yan Feixi scratched his chin and decided——to see if the back door was open.
Just as he was about to leave the front entrance, the door suddenly swung open. Yan Feixi turned and saw Su Manlu just in time.
Yan Feixi curled his lips in joy and took off his gauze hat, stepping forward to hug her affectionately.
“Manlu.” Breathing in her familiar fragrance, he lowered his head to press his forehead against hers. “I’ve missed you so much.”
Su Manlu pursed her lips and smiled lightly, staring at him with her beautiful eyes. “Why are you so arrogant in front of my house?” Didn’t she tell him to wait obediently at Taozhen Tower?
Uh... Yan Feixi felt guilty.
Worried about her being angry, his voice sounded very aggrieved. “You didn’t even come to Taozhen Tower to look for me. I stayed in the room for three days, and all I could think about was you, so I had to come find you.”
Su Manlu hummed and raised her lips in a half-smile. “Isn’t it because you heard that I’ll be looking for a son-in-law in ten days?”
Uh... Yan Feixi touched his nose. Spotting the teasing look in her eyes, he couldn’t help but kiss her mouth angrily.
He kissed her until she was breathless, and then he let her go.
“Do you really want to find a husband?” He asked, clearly dissatisfied.
“Yes,” She didn’t deny it.
“I won’t allow it!” He glared at her.
Su Manlu looked at him coldly. “Why won’t you allow it?”
Uugh... Yan Feixi’s posture softened as he looked at her pitifully. “Manlu...”
Su Manlu snorted, but she wasn’t actually angry with him. She was planning to go to Taozhen Tower.
After not seeing him for three days, Su Manlu secretly admitted to herself that... she actually missed him a little.
But she wouldn’t say it out loud to give this man a boost in pride.
Su Manlu chuckled internally, but her face remained serious. She rolled her eyes lightly and patted his face with her small hand. “Do you want to be with me?”
“I do,” he answered without hesitation.
Su Manlu smiled. Her beautiful eyes curved gently, but suddenly, Yan Feixi felt a chill in his heart.
“Then... remember to come to the son-in-law recruitment meeting in ten days.”
Ah?
Yan Feixi was left dumbfounded again.
