Chapter 578: Chapter 529: Intercepting Huawei_1
Under the watchful eyes of the four young ladies, Yan Wenkai casually finished his sweet dumpling, looking as though he hadn’t had his fill.
“Wenkai, what’s going on with you? How come you’re sitting with the girls? Come over here; I want to arm wrestle with you,” Su Hongxin’s voice suddenly rang out.
Yan Wenkai responded, “Coming, coming,” and then looked towards Su Shiyu and Daohua, “Let’s go and watch us arm wrestle.”
Daohua shook her head, “I haven’t finished my sweet dumplings yet.”
Dong Yuanyao followed, “Neither have I.”
Yan Wenkai glanced at their bowls and didn’t press further but instead turned to Su Shiyu, “Little Sister Su, you’re definitely going, right?”
Seeing Daohua and Dong Yuanyao looking at her with teasing eyes, Su Shiyu felt slightly uncomfortable. She was about to decline when Yan Wenkai reached out and pulled her up.
“Come on, let’s see who is more skilled, me or your brother.”
Watching Su Shiyu being pulled away, Dong Yuanyao sighed with a face full of admiration, “Yiyi, I used to think your Fourth Brother was simple and straightforward, but now I realize I was wrong.”
Daohua nodded in agreement.
She also felt that she had underestimated her Fourth Brother before. He might be a bit rough at times, but when he needed to take action, he didn’t hesitate; no one could match his decisiveness.
Dong Yuanyao whispered into Daohua’s ear, “What’s with Sister Su? She followed your Fourth Brother so obediently. When did she start seeing eye to eye with him?”
Daohua glared, “Seeing eye to eye? Don’t talk nonsense. Sister Su is just too polite to refuse my Fourth Brother, that’s all.”
Dong Yuanyao ‘tsked’ but said no more. Even if Yan Wenkai and Su Shiyu were interested in each other, it wasn’t good to gossip about such matters, as it could harm Su Shiyu’s reputation.
On the side, Yang Xiujun stirred her sweet dumplings into mush after seeing Yan Wenkai leave with Su Shiyu, not even asking her for her opinion. Seeing Daohua and Dong Yuanyao chatting and laughing, her discomfort grew.
At this moment, Yan Wenkai had already started arm wrestling with Su Hongxin, with Yan Wenxiu, Dong Yuanxuan, and a few others laughing and watching by the side.
Looking at Su Shiyu, Yang Xiujun thought for a moment, then asked Daohua and Dong Yuanyao, “Sister Yiyi, shall we go and watch too?”
Daohua looked at her and decisively shook her head, “No.”
Yang Xiujun fell silent, then turned to face Yan Yishuang and Li Zixin, “Yishuang, Zixin, do you want to watch Cousin Wenkai arm wrestle?”
Yan Yishuang and Li Zixin hadn’t finished their sweet dumplings yet and said they would watch later.
Despite no one to accompany her, looking at Su Shiyu standing alone by Yan Wenkai, Yang Xiujun still stood up, “I’ve never seen Cousin Wenkai arm wrestle. I’ll go have a look first.”
Once Yang Xiujun had left, Dong Yuanyao nudged Daohua, “What’s with your cousin?”
Daohua lowered her gaze, “It’s nothing; it won’t be long before she and her mother return to the capital.”
Not wanting to pry into others’ family matters, Dong Yuanyao changed the subject, “I’m done eating. The parade won’t start for a while; why don’t we stroll on the streets for now?”
Daohua’s interest was instantly piqued, “Sure, on the way here, I saw lots of street performers and acrobats from the carriage. They looked fascinating.”
Seeing everyone else engrossed in watching Yan Wenkai and Su Hongxin arm wrestle, the two exchanged glances, deciding not to disturb the others. They just summoned the young servants by their brothers’ sides, left a message that they would briefly wander the streets and be back soon, and then left the building.
…
“Although watching the lanterns from upstairs provides a broader view and keeps you from getting squished, I still prefer walking down the street to see them and to personally experience this bustling joy.”
Upon reaching the street, Daohua and Dong Yuanyao became lively, excited to look around here and there.
