Ah Dao coughed in fright, stuttering, unsure of how to respond.
Strictly speaking, they once had a marriage engagement, but Junjun called it off; now it seems there might be a reconciliation... but it might as well be just comrades mucking through tough times together, cough, a simple camaraderie.
All in all, it was also not his place to say.
Both old men were shrewd as foxes. With Ah Dao’s reaction, how could it not be clear? Clearly, the young couple hadn’t yet gone through a wedding ceremony.
Shan Hai scratched his head: "No problem, once Fox completely recovers, we’ll organize their wedding. Since Junjun’s father is no longer with us, you’re practically her father. You officiate the wedding, and I’ll stand as the witness for them."
Mr. Dan He nodded: "That’s not bad. They are indeed at the age to discuss marriage."
Both old men chatted casually and left.
He looked guiltily at the two departing shadows.
A woman’s reputation was extremely important, if the news of Junjun’s intimacy with the young master got out, it might ruin her lifetime.
He was also aware that this time, the young master had taken advantage of Junjun. All in all, when the young master fully recovered, he would definitely talk to him about Junjun’s sacrifices, to make him understand he must never fail her in this lifetime.
At this moment, Ah Dao’s feelings were mixed. He never thought he, who once detested Bai Junjun, would one day stand up for her, and this protective sentiment even surpassed his loyalty to his own young master.
Junjun was oblivious to this; she comfortably enjoyed the Fox’s care, and once her hair was dry, she turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Of course, turning off the lights was for show to the outside; once the lights were off, Bai Junjun took the Fox into her magical Space.
Seeing the lights go out, Ah Dao merely thought the two had gone to rest, he didn’t think too much of it.
Speaking of which, it had been a long time since they returned to the Space, and the hasty visits were only to seek refuge.
But now, both could finally take inventory of their recent harvest properly.
Speaking of harvest, every time they traveled, they always gained something, especially in the rich Imperial Capital. Every outing allowed them to return wealthier.
However, this trip to Witch Ancestor Mountain was truly a poverty relief mission; not only did they gain nothing, but they also returned with injuries, spending a lot on Water of Flora.
The garden used to have many millennium-old weeds, which were now nearly stripped bare.
Come to think of it, ever since the Space appeared, she hadn’t plucked wool from Small Cedarwood for a long time. Once the garden weeds were used up, it seemed the fattened little sheep would come in handy again.
"..." Small Cedarwood.
Li Wenli was entering here for the "first time," full of curiosity about this small courtyard.
Especially the row of tall lychee trees before the edge of the misty courtyard, where at this moment, the tree tops were laden with ripe, red fruits.
Each fruit hung heavy, and the leaves shone brightly.
Bai Junjun didn’t expect that in the Space, the cycle of blossoming and fruiting of trees was so quick. Last time she looked, they were just flowering, and now the fruits were ripe.
And by the pond, Jasmine still bloomed beautifully, little bees buzzed around, and even the honey boxes were full to brimming, spilling over with golden orange honey.
As she saw the bountiful harvest here, Bai Junjun felt at ease in body and spirit.
Indeed, the bliss of full baskets and bowls could only be provided by the Space!
Bai Junjun first took the Fox to pick lychees beneath the lychee tree. After all, this was the first fruit she planted in the Space, and she was curious about the taste of the Space’s lychees.
The Fox also found the red lychees intriguing, fumbling around with the rough-skinned little red fruits for a while.
