Chapter 78: A Glimpse of Ten Thousand Years (Part Two)

  Yao Cun Jia's face was slightly displeased, and he didn't say a word as he followed Yao Cun Hui.

  "Miss, your jade pendant!" Xie Fu's luck had run out, and with a wave of his hand, he stopped Yao Cun Jia.

  Yao Cun Jia subconsciously reached for his waist and suddenly changed color, hastily turning around to look over, his expression slightly relieved.

  Yao Cunhui took one look at her sister's expression and knew that the jade pendant was indeed the one she had lost. Before Yao Cunye could even speak, she took a swift step forward, snatched the jade pendant from Xie Fu's hand, and said with a forced smile: "Thank you, young master! You are truly a man of noble character, returning lost items to their rightful owner without hesitation. I am deeply impressed! Thank you so much!" And with that, she turned to leave.

  "Hey!" Xie Fu Yun hurriedly smiled and said: "Looking at the young lady's expression, this jade pendant must be an important object for her. A 'thank you' would have sent me off?"

  "What do you want then?" Yao Cunhui became impatient and said: "Name a price, how much silver do you want?"

  "How dare you speak like that? My young master still wants your money?" Tong An and Tong Hua felt insulted.

  Xie Fu smiled and said, "What they said is quite right. I don't want any silver. There's a teahouse here; would you be so kind as to join me for a cup of tea? It's just a cup of tea, isn't that a reasonable request?"

  "Your pickup lines are too cliché! We're busy today, we need to head home. How about tomorrow?" Yao Cunhui said with a snort.

  "Hui'er..." Yao Cun Jia was taken aback and furrowed his brow.

  Yao Cunhui gently pinched her wrist and smiled at Xie Fu Yun: "I can invite you to have a cup of tea, but you didn't say it was now, so it's tomorrow then. Tomorrow I'll definitely invite the young master, thank you so much for the young master! The sky is already dark now, we should head back home, the young master won't force us, will he?"

  Xie Fu Yun was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly: "Tomorrow? I'm afraid the girl won't come, will she?" This little aunt is really cunning!

  "How could that be? Don't worry about it!" Yao Cunhui smiled and didn't want to say more, pulling Yao Cunjia along as she walked away.

  Xie Fu's lips moved, but he couldn't say anything, and for a moment he was at a loss.

  "Jia'er, Hui'er, what a coincidence!" Just as Yao Cunhui's sisters turned around, they happened to see Yun Jinzhong and Yun Zhi walking over with big smiles on their faces.

  "Big Brother, Second Sister!" Yao Cunhui was overjoyed, this is great!

  Both sides smiled at each other, Yun Jinzhong's eyes fell on Xie Fu Yun, and Yao Cunhui's heart had just slightly sunk when he heard Yun Jinzhong exclaim in surprise: "Brother Xie, you're also here!"

  "Yun Brother, Yun Miss!" Xie Fu Yun and Yun Jin Zhong were acquaintances, seeing the situation he slightly smiled wryly and went forward to greet them.

  "You... how could you..." Yun Jin Zhong was shocked, his face showing an expression of incredulity. His gaze shifted from Xie Fu Yun to Yao Cun Jia and Yao Cun Hui, then back again.

  "Big brother, big brother!" Yao Cunhui was so angry that he wanted to tear the Xie family's face apart. But looking at his appearance, he seemed to be very familiar with Yun Jinzhong, and it wasn't good to be too aggressive towards him either. Not only did he not dare to glare at him fiercely, but his expression also became much more gentle, and he quickly said: "We don't know this person at all! It's just that our things fell off earlier and he saw them, so he reminded us. We were just thanking him when big brother and sister arrived!"

  Xie Fu Yun couldn't help but secretly laugh, and gave Yao Cun Hui a deep glance: Little sister's skill in stealing the beam and changing the column is quite impressive!

  "It turned out to be like this!" Yun Jin let out a sigh of relief, laughing: "You don't know who he is yet? He's the eldest son of the Jiangning Weaving Factory's Xie family!"

  Yao Cunhui was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, suddenly feeling extremely embarrassed.

  Yao Cun Jia's legs softened and almost lost his balance, luckily Yun Zhi and Yao Cun Hui supported him. Xie Fu's eyes jumped with concern and asked: "Are you okay?"

  Yao Cun Jia's face turned pale, and he seemed to be in a daze. He glanced at Yun Jin Zhong and Yun Zhi, then slowly smiled and said: "My sister and I have been out for a long time, we should head back! Eldest brother, second sister, farewell." With that, he turned around and left.

  Yao Cunhui was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xie Fu's mansion again, and then looked at her eldest brother and second sister. She nodded to bid farewell, turned around and shouted "Sister, wait for me!" before hurrying to catch up.

  Yun Zhi's lips moved slightly, but she didn't say anything. She walked alongside, pretending to admire the flower lanterns.

  Xie Fu Yun was still staring blankly in the direction where Yao Cun Jia had left, his soul lost and scattered.

  Tong An and Tong Hua were also stunned by this sudden turn of events, and after a long time, they realized that the young master was chasing after the future Madame! What can you say about this?!

  "He's back to normal, everyone has left!" Yun Jin Zhong looked at the handsome young man who was usually elegant and refined but now looked dispirited and couldn't help but feel both annoyed and amused.

  Xie Fu's eyes didn't move, his eyelids didn't blink, and he muttered: "Is she angry with me?"

  Yunjing Zhong couldn't help but burst out laughing and said: "What about you? Wouldn't you be angry if it were you?"

  Xie Fu Yun Meng hastily grabbed Cloud Brocade Clock's arm and anxiously asked, "Is she really angry? I didn't do it on purpose, I just... Can you help me invite her out tomorrow? I want to explain things clearly to her!"

  Just thinking of Yao Cun Jia's pale face and shocked expression earlier, he felt anxious and self-blamed for being reckless.

  She is his fiancée, how can he be so frivolous and flirt with her? And still force her to invite him for tea? If she really invites him, what will he think in his heart?

  "What's there to explain?!" Yun Jinzhong bluntly retorted, "You didn't even think about it, do you think she'd possibly come?"

  Xie Fu Yun was speechless, and didn't need to say that Yao Cun Jia would absolutely not come. Unconsciously, he grasped the fragrant sachet with the embroidered Chinese angelica on his waistband, feeling melancholic and lost.

  "You really are——" Yun Jin's head shook back and forth, unable to help but laugh and cry at the same time, wanting to laugh but feeling it wasn't quite right, not laughing but feeling stifled instead!

  Xie Fu gave him a faint glance and sighed: "You don't understand!"

  I don't understand? Yun Jin Zhong was shocked and widened his eyes, feeling that this person had become a fool in an instant. He thought to himself, "I even have a daughter, what don't I understand?" Isn't it just "A gentle and virtuous woman is a good match for a gentleman"?

  "What are you worried about! Your marriage with my cousin is just around the corner, after she gets married, you can apologize however you want. Why bother at this moment? But let me tell you one thing, my cousin is a dignified and polite person, so be careful what you say!"

  "Ah, yes! How could I have forgotten this!" Xie Fu Yun slapped his forehead, laughing and sighing: "I'm really muddled!"

  Yes, she is his wife anyway, can't escape, after becoming relatives, he will slowly explain and apologize to her!

  "Understood? Understood, let's go have some tea!" Yun Jinzhong laughed loudly. In his heart, he was also secretly happy for Yao Cun Jia, never expecting that the two of them would meet today. Although Jia'er looked very surprised, he knew she was just angry and didn't dislike him. Looking at the Xie family's situation, it seemed that in the future, the two of them were destined to be a perfect match!

  On the carriage, Yao Cun Jia was silent and expressionless, turning his face to one side in a daze. Yao Cun Hui opened her mouth several times wanting to say something, but also found it difficult to speak up, not knowing where to start.

  "Sister, get some rest and have a good sleep!" As they parted ways at the gate of their residence, Yao Cunhui grasped Yao Cunjia's hand and smiled lightly.

  Four eyes met, and both people had a smile on their faces. Yao Cun Jia nodded and smiled: "You too, sleep well!"

  Back in the Fragrant Pavilion, lying on the embroidered bed, how could Yao Cun Jia sleep? Tonight's events were too unexpected! She never dreamed that she would meet her fiancé under such circumstances, and it was a meeting without recognition.

  Looking back on it now, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, she hadn't said or done anything out of line, otherwise, how would she have been able to face him in the future?

  But this man is really hateful! Because of that jade pendant, he knows her identity, she doesn't know his, yet he comes to pester her, what does this count as? In his eyes, is she a woman who is so casual and frivolous, and can be approached at will?

  At that moment, she thought of his handsome face and noble demeanor, thinking of the way he looked at her, her face involuntarily flushed with heat, her heart slightly aflutter. It wasn't that she hadn't secretly thought about him before, but she never expected him to be so exceptionally good-looking!

  Everyone has a good-looking son, but few have both good looks and good character. Just look at that charming face of his, and the way he hits on girls on the street so casually - what kind of character is that? If he's just a lecherous rich kid, isn't he going to ruin his own life? Thinking this way, I'd rather he didn't look so good after all!

  Yao Cun Jia's mind turned over a thousand thoughts, the more he thought, the more anxious and entangled he became, sometimes happy, sometimes worried, sometimes laughing lightly, sometimes sighing softly, turning over and over for a whole night without sleeping well.

  The next day, I was still feeling somewhat sluggish.

  Green lotus, green leaves only thought she was tired from strolling last night, so they carefully served her to rest and didn't say anything else. Only when Yao Cunhui came and saw her in this state did he guess that it was probably related to last night.

  For several days, Yao Cun Jia's mood was very low, and she couldn't muster up the spirit to do anything. Yao Cun Hui noticed this and secretly comforted her, saying: "Sister, we didn't do anything wrong that day, did we? We behaved properly and sat upright. Are you still afraid that brother-in-law will settle accounts with us after autumn? However, my attitude was a bit bad at the time, but I didn't know it was brother-in-law! And in that situation, could I have given him a good face? If brother-in-law is angry about this, sister, can you help me explain and convey my apologies?"

  "Who would have thought that brother-in-law is so stylish and handsome? He's really elegant and refined, a true gem! Sister, someone like him is worthy of you! You can rest assured now! Speaking of which, the two of you are really meant to be, who knew you'd run into each other, haha!"

  Yao Cun Jia's face turned slightly red, but then immediately returned to normal. The one speaking was her own sister with whom she shared everything, what was there to be embarrassed about?

  At this, Yao Cun's eyebrows slightly furrowed and she smiled wryly, softly sighing: "You also saw the situation that night, who knows what kind of person he is! If... I would rather marry someone who isn't as good-looking. Hui'er, a husband is for a lifetime, the most important thing is mutual respect and affection, he must have you in his heart, otherwise, even if he's as handsome as Pan An, what's the use? He flirts with flowers outside and has affairs at home, being a wife is just a sad fate! Hui'er, remember your sister's words, if you have the chance to choose for yourself in the future, be careful!"
