Chapter 1657: Baby Fat

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although it seemed a little rushed, it was going to be done in due time anyway.

Now that Xue Wufu had returned, he would not return to the military camp for the time being. He was not sure when he would return in the future. After all, he still had to follow Fu Ying back to Beicheng to get married. He stayed at home, but he could not sit still. He ran to the road outside Peace Town every day to wait for Fu Ying.

Finally, on March 14th, Fu Ying arrived.

Although Fu Ying was not wearing the Empress’s clothes, she still had a beautiful crown. Her shoulders were straight and her waist was thin. Her eyes were full of heroic spirit. However, she had lost weight and did not have any baby fat compared to the last time he saw her. Her face looked even smaller.

Looking at Fu Ying who was sitting on the horse, Xue Wufu immediately jumped up. “You lied to me!”

Fu Ying pinched the space between her eyebrows. How could she be blamed for losing baby fat? Didn’t this mean that she had grown up? Who would still have baby fat when they grew up?

The guards behind Fu Ying stifled their laughter. Their future Emperor had not changed at all…

Xue Wufu said a few more words unhappily. Then, he happily said something else. “I’ve already decided on the date. The twenty-fifth of March is a good date. There are still eleven days left!”

“I see.” Fu Ying answered while planning to get off the horse.

Xue Wufu hurriedly said, “You don’t have to come down. I’ll go get my horse. You have to hurry home with me. Other than Xue Yan and Jiang Yue, no one else knows what you look like.”

He couldn’t let Fu Ying speak, so he quickly went to the side and brought the horse tied to the tree over.

He had been waiting here for more than two hours today. He couldn’t keep waiting with the horse, so he ended up tying the horse to the side.

When Xue Wufu got on his horse, Fu Ying said, “Didn’t you say in your letter that I would get married in your house in Peace Town? Take me to that house first.”

“What are you doing? Don’t tell me you’re waiting until the day you get married before my parents know what you look like.” Xue Wufu was somewhat unhappy. “My parents have been looking forward to meeting you.”

Fu Ying was silent for a moment before saying, “Not yet… I rushed all the way here and my body was covered in dust. I’ll go to the courtyard to wash up before meeting them.”

This was the first time she was meeting his parents, so she couldn’t go there with such a dejected face.

“So that’s how it is. It’s fine, it’s fine.” Xue Wufu was immediately happy. “There’s no need to wash up. When we get to my house, we can wash up. Let’s go home first.”

“I’ll find an inn to wash up.”

Xue Wufu did not expect Fu Ying to be so insistent. He was still unable to react. However, when he saw the guards who were dressed like attendants trying to hold back their laughter, he roughly understood. He immediately laughed like a fool. “You’re not ugly.”

“Who said I’m ugly?” Fu Ying was speechless.

It was rare for Xue Wufu to not argue with her. Instead, he smiled like a fool and hurriedly led the way. “Our house is just in front. We’ll be there in less than ten minutes.”

Fu Ying felt a rare flush on her face, but she still rode her horse and followed Xue Wufu.

This courtyard was the big courtyard where the children usually stayed. However, the children were in the Academy now and would only come back from school in the evening. Sifu was in the shop. In any case, there was no one else except for some people who kept the courtyard clean.

Fu Ying went to wash up in a room. Xue Wufu was sitting on the steps outside the door, holding his face with both hands and smiling foolishly.
