Everyone greeted each other, their expressions less than completely comfortable, especially upon seeing the flower Xia Zhen was holding!
The Albizia flower was Xiaoyueâs favourite. Everyone understood what Xia Zhenâs gesture of buying the flower meant!
Instinctively, Nanxi gripped Lu Yinchuâs hand. She knew that for the past eight years, Lu Yinchu must have been sitting here, watching the Albizia flower.
A person stifling the bitter sadness within, facing Qi Qun, facing all the people of Lu Family!
Now, he has her, he has her to accompany him, always with him!
Whatever should be borne, they will bear it together!
Because, they are husband and wife!
And more importantly, because she loves him!
At midday, Li Mufang went to the kitchen to help Xia Zhen and Mother Yu cook. Nanxi, Qingtian, Yi Mu, and Lun Ying were banished upstairs because Qingtian was too loud.
While it was rare to have so many people in the house, Lu Qingtian was quite pleased and brought all three to his room.
Yi Mu was also a playful one, playing the part of a lady in front of her grandfather but revealing her true nature when taken away by Lu Qingtian. She instantly got along perfectly well with him!
Nanxi and Lun Ying sat aside, watching the two making a ruckus. Feeling as if he was treating his sister-in-law unfairly, Lu Qingtian fished out a deck of poker cards and suggested, âLetâs all play cards!â
ââ¦â
Having nothing better to do, they ended up playing cards. Lun Ying wasnât very adept at cards. Lu Qingtian and Yi Mu explained the rules to Lun Ying together and then asked Lun Ying, âDo you understand now?â
Lun Ying hesitated, then nodded, âI more or less get it!â
Lu Qingtian said, âThen letâs start, I want to pair with my sister-in-law!â
With that, whoever was paired with Lun Ying, was Yi Mu!
Yi Mu and Lun Ying looked at each other, neither of them speaking. Nanxi, however, felt the atmosphere becoming somewhat strange!
Even stranger was the fact that Lun Ying led in two consecutive rounds, with Nanxi and Lu Qingtian alternating as the runner-ups, and the player performing the worst was actually Yi Mu!
Feeling a bit down, Yi Mu lamented, âMy luck is just awful today. Iâm glad I donât play the lottery!â
Lun Ying said, âThis has nothing to do with luck. You didnât focus!â
ââ¦â
Yi Mu glanced at Lun Ying, cleared his throat, âAlright, now I will handle this with full focus!â
Lun Ying didnât say anything, but her expression was somber as she continued to draw cards!
Then⦠after playing two more rounds, the winner varied, but it was still Yi Mu who ended up last!
Feeling frustrated, Yi Mu exclaimed, âWhatâs going on? This shouldnât be happeningâ¦.â
Lun Ying said, âMaybe youâre just having bad luck!â
Yi Mu: ââ¦â
He tossed the cards he was holding, âForget it, Iâm not playing anymore. Itâs not fun!â
Lu Qingtian blinked his eyes, âDonât quit, itâs not mealtime yet. If you donât play, what else will you do?â
Yi Mu said, âMy luck is terrible today, I shouldnât be playing cards and frustrate myself! Iâm going to scroll through Weibo, you three continue playing!â
As Yi Mu insisted on quitting the game, no one else said anything. They continued to play without him!
The remaining players drew cardsâ¦
Just then, there was a knock at the door, and Lu Qingtian, who was seated directly opposite the door, looked up to see the visitor!
Taken aback, he exclaimed, âBrother, why are you here? This is a ladiesâ room, youâre a man! You canât simply walk in!â
Lu Yinchu: ââ¦â
Lun Ying casually looked up at Lu Yinchu and lifted the cards in her hand, âMr Lu, would you like to play cards?â
Lu Qingtian: ââ¦â
â¦
With Lu Yinchu joining in, there were four players again!
Nanxi was paired with Lu Yinchu, and Lun Ying was paired with Lu Qingtian!
This was what Lu Qingtian requested!
On one hand, he thought that Lun Ying was lucky today, so if she was his partner, they would surely win!
On the other hand, he didnât dare to compete with his brother over his sister-in-law, fearing his brotherâs retaliation!
The first round began. Nanxiâs hand was good, having the two Jokers with her. She was confident and felt she could become the leading player!
Lu Qingtian played his cards, setting out three single threes. Nanxi was thrilled. She had three eights in her hand and also didnât have any small pairs to go with them, which increased her chances of becoming the leading player!
At this moment, Lu Yinchu played his cards, three 9âs!
Nanxi: ââ¦â
Lun Ying didnât pick up, Nanxi glared at Lu Yinchu fiercely, She didnât pick up either!
Lu Qingtian also didnât take them, wailing as he handed his brother the cards, such a loss!
Lu Yinchu glanced at Nanxi, played a pair of 5âs, Lun Ying a pair of 10âs, Nanxi didnât take them, Lu Qingtian didnât take them, Lu Yinchu a pair of Qâs, Lun Ying didnât take them, Nanxi reached out, slammed down a pair of cards, âPair of Kâs!â
Lu Yinchu: ââ¦.â
Lu Qingtian looked at Nanxi, a face of misunderstanding, âLittle Sister-in-law, didnât you forget? Youâre my brotherâs partner!â
âI know! Who said partners canât play cards against each other?â Nanxi stated boldly!
Who let him block my three of 8âs!
Lu Yinchu: ââ¦.â
Lu Qingtian immediately dropped a pair of Aâs, suppressing Nanxi, and said, âLittle Sister-in-law, if you didnât play the K pair, I mightâve hesitated a littleâ¦â
ââ¦â Why hesitate? Not hesitating to play against her, but hesitating against Lu Yinchu?
âLittle Sister-in-law, donât resent me!â
With that said, she couldnât resent him!
Lu Qingtian then played a series of pairs, after no one picked up, he played a pair of 9âs, Lu Yinchu took a look at Nanxi, Nanxi also looked at himâ¦
Nanxi understood, Lu Yinchu meant: Because she played the K pair against his Q pair, both of them are now losing, they must let people go!
Finally, Lu Qingtian was the first one out, Nanxi the second, and Lun Ying ended up the last one!
Lu Qingtian called out, âOh, looks like Lun Ying inherited Youyouâs bad luck!â
Yi Mu:ââ¦â
Lun Ying:ââ¦â
With the lesson from the first round, Nanxi no longer impulsively tried to counter Lu Yinchuâs cards, and they subsequently got along well, winning two rounds in a row, carrying both pairs!
Nanxi immediately felt overjoyed because the reason she won these two rounds was all thanks to Lu Yinchu leading and throwing cards!
Heâs indeed an excellent husband! Nanxi is excited!~~o(â§vâ¦)o~~
But Lu Qingtian wasnât happy about that!
âThatâs not fair!â Lu Qingtian said, âSister-in-law and my brother are a husband-and-wife team, working in perfect harmony. Lun Ying and I naturally canât compete. This wonât do, we need to switch seats, we must switch, otherwise we canât play these cards!â
Lu Qingtian called out!
âWhatâs not fair?â A manâs voice came from the doorway, everyone startled. The slender handsome man standing there was none other than Li Weihuan!â
ââ¦â
Nanxi took a breath, wondering what on earth was happening. Lu Yinchu and Li Weihuan kept coming upstairs one after another! Whatâs the rhythm?
âYay! Nephew!!!â Lu Qingtian, eyes aglow like finding a lifesaver, immediately waved his hand, âNephew, help! Come over here quickly, the two of us combined can definitely defeat my brother and sister-in-law, ah ah ah, Nephew, get moving, donât stand there foolishly, come overâ¦â
â¦.
â¦.
A moment of silenceâ¦
â¦.
â¦â¦..
âHahahaâ¦â¦.â
A burst of laughter came, breaking the silence; it was Yi Mu sitting on the bed!
Then the laughter came from Nanxi and Lun Yingâ¦
For a moment, everyone started laughingâ¦â¦..
Li Weihuan:ââ¦.â
â¦â¦..
â¦â¦..
Li Weihuan felt, that in his last life he must owe this aunt of his who is eight years younger than him a lot of money!!!
So in this life, God especially sent her to torment him!!!
Anyway, his current mood can only be described in two words: Oh my!!!
