Ye Zi’an had been gone for three days. Even though it was only three days, it felt like three years to her, perhaps because she knew Zi’an would stay in the Capital City for quite some time and that, therefore, created the sense that time was passing more slowly.
She didn’t know why, even though she was aware that Brother An would come back, but she felt lethargic these days, always listless and lazy.
"Madam, Madam Chen and Young Master Yazhu are here."
Hearing that Yang Ruoqiu and Chen Yazhu had arrived, some semblance of a smile finally appeared on Yang Chuxia’s face. Perhaps Yang Ruoqiu was worried that she would feel lonely all by herself at home, so he had brought his son to chat with her for three straight days.
Aside from the first day when Yang Ruoqiu incessantly teased her about the incident with Zi’an’s neck, they actually enjoyed each other’s company.
She remembered the day after Zi’an had left, no one was in a hurry to go home. Yang Dachuan and Ms. Wang stayed to chat with her in the small building.
Ms. Wang took the opportunity to convince her to move back with her parents until Zi’an returned from the Capital City.
Yang Dachuan was of similar opinion, but she thought it would be troublesome to move back and forth. Besides, she couldn’t possibly move all her servants over, so she didn’t agree.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Ms. Wang and Yang Dachuan didn’t persist. After sitting for a while, Yang Dachuan left to supervise the house construction and Ms. Wang went home. But Yang Ruoqiu took his son Yazhu and stayed, and laughed after observing her for a while, "You two are too attached to each other, it’s not like you’re never going to see each other again. Did you really have to gnawing his neck to the point it looked like a pig’s trotter?"
"Pff..." Yang Chuxia was speechless, "You’re too sharp-eyed."
"I can see it even through your makeup! It’s hard not to notice. Hmm, you sure are daring! Tell me, was there something special about your ’encounter’ with Brother An? How many times did it happen in one night?"
"Oh God, Yang Ruoqiu, could your skin be any thicker? Could you act a little more dignified? Your son is still here, and you’re saying these things."
Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoqiu was taken aback. Seeing Chen Yazhu looking at them in confusion, she called Xiu’er to carry him away.
"It’s okay, he’s too young to understand anyway." After that, Yang Ruoqiu continued to look at her with a teasing expression, "Go on, tell me. Look at how flushed you are, how many times in one night? Was it him looking for you or you looking for him? How did you gnaw his neck like that?"
At this, Yang Chuxia rolled her eyes at her, "If you’re so curious, why don’t you try it out for yourself tonight?"
"Hehe..." Hearing her words, Yang Ruoqiu laughed, "Your brother-in-law is too shy, just like a maiden. If I’m a little more proactive, he might just hide his head under the quilt."
Yang Chuxia thought about it; Brother An used to be very shy too. He would often blush and from time to time he’d utter a few risqué remarks. Thinking about An’s blushing, shy face, she felt an urge to tease him.
"Tsk tsk, look at that satisfied smirk on your face, it’s obvious that you’re thinking about Brother An." While Yang Chuxia was recalling the events from three days ago, Yang Ruoqiu, with her son, was already at the door.
"So what if I miss him?" Yang Chuxia shot her a glance, then waved at Chen Yazhu, "Yazhu, come over here!"
As soon as she waved, Chen Yazhu cheerfully ran over to her, rubbing his face affectionately against hers.
"Aunty, have some candy." He then took out two pieces of candy from his pouch and handed them to Yang Chuxia.
"Oh, this is for me?" She watched as Chen Yazhu nodded his head in confirmation, his face beaming with joy.
