Heavenly Star Chapter 125: When Can We Get Married?

Chapter 125: When Can We Get Married?

Lin Yan’s face momentarily became gloomy. He obviously remembered, but he did not expect Ye Wuchen to actually remind him in the presence of so many people, completely disregarding his reputation.
“That’s right that’s right! This matter is known by so many people. My father knows, my mother knows, uncles, aunts, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, Mother Huang who is in charge of preparing food, Uncle Seven who is in charge of chopping firewood, Xiao Liu who is in charge of guarding the gate, Xiao San next door, Xiao Zhu next door who is prepares the tea. Also Dahuang who wags his tail upon seeing me at Aunt Seven’s house. They all know that wherever Principal Lin is, once he sees Teacher Ye, he should call him grandpa three times. Ah… Principal Lin should not be the kind of nasty person who goes back on his words and talk shit, or risk being despised by even Dahuang from Aunt Seven’s house.” Zhuge Xiaoyu said, her face radiant with delight, blinking her crystal like eyes, she waited for Lin Yan to say grandpa. She was completely unaware that words like “talk shit” coming from the mouth of a young lady would somehow appear indecent.
“Wow! I’ve also heard of that! As it turns out, these funny things are actually true. Principal Lin, you must remember what you have said. You are my father’s most trusted person, I have heard that this matter was personally witnessed by my father, so you must not go back on your words. Else, I will let all the people in the palace and also all the people in the institute know that you did not keep your word.” Long Huang-er gently curved her brows, her laugh was so pure and perfect.
All the pairs of eyes uniformly fixed on Lin Yan with all kinds of implications. Lin Yan’s face grew reddish and gloomy, as if he was being peeled off without leaving anything. His bet with Ye Wuchen was indeed known by every person, yet no one dared to mention it in his presence. Of course they would regard it as if they were unaware, but Ye Wuchen had laid it bare. Although they were just a few words, these words would trample on his reputation as the principal and leave him with cuts and bruises all over.
But Zhuge Xiaoyu and Long Huang-er echoed one another, undoubtedly it was equivalent to ruthlessly throwing him two big bricks after he had fallen into the water.
The flame in Lin Yan’s grasp extinguished then lighted up, lighted up but extinguished once more. His entire body trembling wildly, his eyes had a burning desire to commit murder. He was so angry that he became speechless. Other people sealed their mouths and did not dare to say a single word, all of them treating this matter as if it did not concern them. They all struck a posture as if they were watching passively.
“You… How dare you humiliate my second grandpa!” upon seeing Lin Yan getting humiliated, Lin Yu, who was hiding behind Lin Yan eventually jumped out and yelled.
“Humiliate? How funny. At the time the bet was made, Principal Lin personally agreed to it. All the people present can attest to that. Talking about humiliation, one can say that Principal Lin is only humiliating himself.” Ye Wuchen shot a glance at Lin Yu, then withdrew his gaze, in disdain he said, “Returning to our main topic, I’m now teaching my grandson a lesson. This grandson of my grandson has absolutely no rights to speak. Kindly shrink back to your grandfather’s back just like a turtle hiding its head. Even if I was to humiliate your grandfather, what more can you do as the grandson?”
Lin Yan’s face darkened. If this area was an uninhabited and desolated countryside, he would surely kill Ye Wuchen by all means. Afterwards, he would have destroyed the corpse and extinguished all the evidences.
“Your older brother, Lin Xiao, was a man of character. Throughout the entire Tian Long City, only a few number of people doesn’t know him. And you also, Lin Yu, only a few people don’t know you. The difference is, your older brother has a good reputation, but you only carry a loathsome name. At least your brother is qualified to meet me head on, but you are just like an ant in the roadside, even if I stamped on it, I won’t take another glance.” Ye Wuchen said unhurriedly, then he turned to beam at Lin Yan and said, “Principal Lin, I helped you discipline your young one, it’s really unnecessary to thank me. Please comply with our bet, do not let your students look down on you.”
“You!”
Lin Yu almost went wild on the spot, yet he knew very well that he was not a match for Ye Wuchen as Lin Xiao had been defeated by him. To go against him would simply bring disgrace to himself, or else he would not have dragged Lin Yan here. Now though, he clearly realized that, dragging Lin Yan in was completely a huge mistake.
His pride had to be respected, he gritted his teeth and prepared to launch himself but Lin Yan dragged him back by his clothes. Fiercely swinging him backwards, Lin Yan sai in a deep voice, “That’s enough! Are you seeking more humiliation!?”
Lin Yu who was not used to hearing such a tone from Lin Yan kept quiet out of fear and obediently stood there without uttering any words.
“You better not fall into my hands!”
After speaking the words in deep voice that only Ye Wuchen could hear, Lin Yan fiercely turned, dragging Lin Yu with him. Behind them, the voice of Zhuge Xiaoyu echoed as she yelled, “Hey! Principal Lin, don’t go. You haven’t call him grandpa yet… You shouldn’t be such a nasty person…”
After Lin Yan was far enough, Zhuge Xiaoyu eventually could not bear it anymore and covertly laughed, while other people roared with laughter in succession. Only Hua Buhao had a bitter face, deeply worried and sick at heart. Ye Wuchen regained his tranquil face, and told him, “Master Hua, I have caused you much trouble. But don’t worry, Lin Yan still doesn’t have enough reason to trouble you.”
Hua Buhao nodded his head, striving hard to squeeze out a smile.
“I better not act as a teacher. Master Hua, I am indebted to you for these two days. For now on, I must assume my job to protect the princess. Now I want to take the princess out for a stroll. If the Emperor has someone ask you, just answer according to what you have replied yesterday.”
When Ye Wuchen lead Long Huang-er out of the Tian Long Imperial Institute, Long Huang-er was just like a gummy candy sticking to his body. After yesterday, when Ye Wuchen had taken her out to play, she was so excited that she almost did not sleep that night. In the latter half of the night she just counted her fingers longing for daybreak to come.
“Where do we go to play today? Go and catch fish again?” She lifted her face full of excitement.
“It will be boring to always catch fish, let’s go and catch rabbits.” Ye Wuchen answered laughing.
“Catch rabbits? But they run very fast, will we really be able to catch them?” Long Huang-er’s small hands tensed. Although she doubted they could, her face was full of excitement.
“Hey! Wait for me!”
A light high voice sounded behind them. Ye Wuchen halted his steps having no other choice. He looked to see Zhuge Xiaoyu who was running towards them.
“Waa…” Zhuge Xiaoyu ran in front of him panting and gasping. “Ye Wuchen, you… you haven’t answered my question yet.”
“What question?” Ye Wuchen’s head ached, and he asked, pretending not to know anything about it.
“It’s why you refuse to marry me.” Zhuge Xiaoyu did not even blush with shame, instead she lifted her head, somehow fuming while she looked at him.
“Why should I marry you? If a man whom you have never met before went to your house to propose marriage, would you agree?” Ye Wuchen retorted.
Zhuge Xiaoyu slightly stared. Afterwhich, she nodded, then happily said, “You have your point. Now that we have already met, will you agree to marry me now?”
“……”
This silly girl’s logical thinking was indeed quite strong.
Long Huang-er feels discontented at being ignored. She tightly held Ye Wuchen’s arms, pouting her lips and said, “He is my husband, as my father promised. He will not marry you!”
Zhuge Xiaoyu was not offended even in the slightest bit, but she lowered her face and happily said, “Princess Fei Huang, after me and Wuchen get married, we will be like sisters.”
“Who-who wants to be your sister? I don’t want to be your sister. My husband will never marry you!” Long Huang-er feared that Ye Wuchen would be taken from her, so her mouth was left without any trace of politeness as both arms tightly held onto his arm.
“Hey!” Zhuge Xiaoyu, with both hands on her waist, looked at Long Huang-er in dissatisfaction. “Who would think that you intended to get married only after three years. My Wuchen wasn’t in a hurry, but you, tiny thing, ares being anxious. Me and Wuchen will get married not very long from now, and when that moment comes, I will be the elder sister. I will surely discipline you, little sister. Humph!”
Ye Wuchen’s head was spinning upon hearing these words. He did not know where Zhuge Xiaoyu got her self-confidence from. He hurriedly spoke to diverge the topic, “Lady Zhuge, the way you had spoken to Lin Yan, are you not worried that he might remember you for it?”
Zhuge Xiaoyu wrinkled her nose, snorted softly and said, “I’m not afraid of him. Besides, you will surely protect me, right? Furthermore, just call me Xiaoyu. Calling me lady Zhuge feels like we are strangers.”
“... Lady Zhuge…”
“Just call me Xiaoyu!” Zhuge Xiaoyu reminded him again with a resentful face. Ignoring the protesting glance from Long Huang-er, she went to hold Ye Wuchen’s left arm, then made a face at Long Huang-er, completely not treating her as a princess.
Ye Wuchen struggled to break free but to no avail. She hugged very tightly, separated by only a thin layer of clothing, Ye Wuchen could even feel the shape of her small breasts as it trembled softly. Although her outer appearance was happy and carefree, this was the first time she had had intimate physical contact with a man. It was impossible for her not to feel nervous.
“Okay… Xiaoyu, I am a man, doing this will surely affect your reputation.” Ye Wuchen reminded her impatiently.
“No need to worry, I will only marry you in this lifetime.” Zhuge Xiaoyu said without minding too much. She had actually exerted more efforts to draw near to his arm, then she asked in a low voice, “Wuchen, when can we get married?”
Ye Wuchen had the feeling defeat. He single-handedly hugged Long Huang-er to his bosom, and his arm exerted more effort to break free from Zhuge Xiaoyu’s grab. Before Zhuge Xiaoyu managed to react, Ye Wuchen had already rush to a faraway distance with Long Huang-er.
“Hey! You wait and see… I will surely make you marry me! Humph!” She yelled at the direction of Ye Wuchen with a great effort with not a care how many would hear her shouting. When his figure could no longer be seen, she then pouted her lips unhappily and returned to the institute.
