Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The family knew Su Wenwu well. He was in a good mood because he brought Ye Feiran home for dinner.
On the other hand, Ye Feiran was nervous. Although it was cold outside, her palms were sweating. Even so, she appeared calm, and Su Wenwu did not know how nervous she was.
Su Wenwu told Ye Feiran, “This is my family’s house. We renovated it last year and added many small courtyards and rooms. You can stay in one of the small courtyards later.”
He even considered sharing a room with Ye Feiran. Still, he knew Ye Feiran was from a prominent family, so she would need her space. Ultimately, Su Wenwu told Ye Feiran to stay in the room next to his.
Since the two would share a small courtyard, it would be convenient for Su WenW711 to care for Ye Feiran. The latter listened to Su Wenwu and imagined something.
Immediately after, she blushed. Only Su Wenwu could make her behave like a girl. The members of the Ye family who ran the family business thought Ye Feiran was a cold and hard youth.
She had to show resolve if she wanted to believe in her. Ye Feiran did not want others to underestimate her, so she acted cold and distant. However, she knew she could be herself around Su Wenwu.
Meanwhile, Su Wenxiu had gone to his room to study after lunch. He abided by his sister’s words when she said, “One must continue learning to improve.”
The Su family did not allow Su Wenxiu to help with housework because they wanted to give him time to learn more about herbs and research medicine. The family would handle everything, even the cooking.
Su Wenxiu would only leave his room when the family called him to eat. Of course, the family would let Su Wenxiu join in during the New Year and holidays.
Sometimes, he would be so focused on studying that he heard nothing outside.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan was puzzled, “Wenwu wasn’t this excited when any of
his hotpot restaurants did well.”
Liu Yinyin shared the same thoughts. “It seems Wenwu is happy about something else.”
Su Wenwu’s happy mood affected the whole family. They were excited to eat the glutinous rice balls and tangyuan later. They had not eaten as much as they wanted last time.
Back then, the family was so poor that they could not afford glutinous rice balls. They could not afford too many even if they enjoyed it. However, this time was different because Su Binglan had made plenty of glutinous rice balls with various fillings.
Su Wenzhe could not stop looking at the pot as he thought about eating a whole bowl of glutinous rice balls and tangyuan. Even his sons could not wait to eat them.
The two younguns had been eating well at home almost daily. Eating and sleeping well was a delightful thing, especially for children. Liu Yinyin would spend every day with her sons and tell them stories.
Although she had only learned little during childhood, she now read books whenever she had time. She knew she could gain more knowledge by continuously reading.
Inadvertently, she could help Su Binglan manage the noodle shop better.
Soon after, Su Wenwu brought Ye Feiran into the main hall. He smelled the food from the courtyard and said, “That smells good. It must be my little sister’s cooking.”
Ye Feiran could also smell the fragrance. The smell of good food during the snowy weather gave her an indescribable feeling.
Su Wenzhe was handling the fire at the stove when he looked into the courtyard and saw his brother with a young man. He thought the person beside Su Wenvvu was a teenager.
Although Ye Feiran was three years older than Su Wenwu, she looked more youthful. Perhaps it was because she was a woman. Others would always think she was a teenager because of her delicate appearance, even though she dressed as a man.
Su Wenzhe was puzzled, saying, “Wenwu brought someone home, but I don’t know who they are. Since it’s the Lantern Festival, that person must be close to Wenwu. I’ve never seen Wenwu bringing someone home before.”
Upon hearing this, Su Binglan and Liu Yinyin looked toward the courtyard and saw Su Wenvvu and Ye Feiran. Liu Yinyin did not know Ye Feiran, but Su Binglan immediately recognized her.
Su Binglan smiled with interest.
‘We were just talking about her yesterday, and Wenwu didn’t mention she’d be here so soon. Even if it were a last-minute plan, Feiran couldn’t have traveled so quickly trom the south to the north.
‘She must’ve set off at the start of the year to celebrate the Lantern Festival in
Su Teng Village. Feiran would only make such a decision because of Wenwu.’
With those thoughts in mind, Su Binglan knew Ye Feiran treated Su Wenwu differently.
‘Feiran even came to the house with Wenwu. There’s no longer a need to guess how close they are. She must be interested in Wenwu.’
Su Binglan could see Ye Feiran’s affection for her brother but wanted to laugh when she realized how oblivious her brother was. Su Binglan thought her brother and Ye Feiran would be an interesting couple.
Ye Feiran became nervous when she saw the whole family looking at her. She lost her breath and almost forgot how to walk. She was never like this around others, but tonight was different.
Su Wenwu did not notice her nervousness. He only introduced her, “Everyone, this is Ye Feiran.’
Last night, the family had told Su Wenwu to invite Ye Feiran for dinner.
Therefore, they were not too surprised to see her. The family also knew about Ye Feiran because Su Wenwu had told them about her.
Ye Feiran softly said, “Hello, everyone.”
Su Binglan smiled at her, then handed the spoon to Liu Yinyin to stir the pot. After all, they could not stop stirring, or the rice balls would stick to the pot.
Su Binglan said, “You’re Wenwu’s close friend, aren’t you? Since he considers you his brother, we’ll consider you family. Welcome to our house.”
“Thank you. I’m sorry to have come so abruptly. I hope I’m not intruding,” Ye Feiran replied.
Without waiting for Su Binglan and the others to say anything, Su Wenwu gently pulled Ye Feiran aside, saying, ‘You’re not intruding. My sister says she welcomes you, right? Come on in. It’s cold outside..”
