172. The Big Entrance He Made
[BL] MY TOUGH HUSBAND BOOK 1
Mo Yanzhi and Han Tingxuan woke up at the same time in the morning.
âYanzhi? Why are you up so early?â
Mo Yanzhi blinked. âMmm, I happen to wake up.â
Han Tingxuan narrowed his eyes and doubted if he was telling the truth. âIs this really the case? Arenât you seeing me out?â
Although Han Tingxuan was right, Mo Yanzhi could only blink.
Han Tingxuan could tell that he was right. âI am happy enough that you take good care of you. Iâm not a child. You donât have to see me out, and at the cost of your sleep. You should go back to sleep now.â
âYou are going to Xuantian The Elderlyâs birthday party todayâ¦â Mo Yanzhi changed the topic.
Han Tingxuan argued, âYes, Iâm going there but I wonât go until evening!â
Mo Yanzhi pouted.
Han Tingxuan pinched his cheek. âAlright. Since youâre awake, letâs have breakfast together?â
Mo Yanzhi smiled brightly. âMm.â
Han Tingxuan was amused by his male wife being childish. He kissed Mo Yanzhi on the lips, âYanzhiâ¦â
âHuh?â Mo Yanzhi looked at Han Tingxuan.
Han Tingxuan kissed him on the forehead again. âYou wonât be late for the morning meeting again, will you?â
Mo Yanzhi asked, âAm I always late?â
Han Tingxuan nodded seriously. âYes, a lot lately!â
Mo Yanzhi got angry. âHubby!â
âAlrightâ¦â Han Tingxuan smiled and calmed his male wife down. âI am not going to say it again. You are not late for the morning meeting. I am.â
âYouâ¦â Mo Yanzhi was so angry.
Although they had a bit of fight early in the morning, both of them were in a good mood.
After they had breakfast together, Han Tingxuan left to prepare for the morning meeting. So did Mo Yanzhi!
On this day, the City of Capital was particularly busy. Not the shops and stores were busy. But the carriages on the street.
Xuantian The Elderlyâs home was located in the border of City of Capital and in the bamboo forest. The bamboo house had three stories and was quite large.
There was a large open space next to his house. It seemed to be a training ground.
Therefore, no matter how many people went today, the training ground was big enough to hold all. However, they could stay there. Tables and chairs were only set in the living room, and there were only a few.
There must be hundreds of people going to celebrate the birthday today!
Xuantian The Elderly himself did not do any arrangement for the birthday party. Other people did it for him.
Among them, the Nangong family and the Dongfang family had contributed the most. They managed to set up enough tables, chairs, and other things in the training ground within half a day.
There were all kinds of dishes and drinks. The chefs were preparing for the dinner.
They also hired dozens of waiters to make sure the dishes would be served promptly.
They also hired many she-men servants to lead the guests.
It was Xuantian The Elderlyâs birthday party. But the outsiders might mistake it for a wedding that held by Nangong family and Dongfang family.
In fact, it was basically as grand as a wedding.
Or even more grand.
It could be seen that the Dongfang and Nangong families attached great importance to Xuantian The Elderlyâs 90th birthday!
Someone reported the big preparation to Han Tingxuan who just smiled slightly.
Before he left for the birthday party, Han Tingxuan asked them to get Zhou Yueqing over. Zhou Yueqing was nicely dressed but not overdressed. Nevertheless, he was different from usual times.
Han Tingxuan blinked. He had always seen Zhou Yueqing as his subordinate, but for the first time, he clearly realized that he was a she-man!
Zhou Yueqing was worried as Han Tingxuan looked at him strangely, âWhatâs wrong? Am I embarrassing you?â
âOf course not!â Han Tingxuan quickly shook his head. âNo, no, very good. I just thought that youâre one of us. As you know, I care about my fellowmen very much. I suppose you are at the age of marriage. If you are interested in any of my fellowmen, I can set it up for you.â
It was the first time Zhou Yueqie realized how unserious Han Tingxuan could be. He was in shock.
Han Tingxuan smiled. âI mean it!â
Zhou Yueqing hurriedly said with a blushing face, âI am not in a hurry, no. I am going to take part in the exam. Iâm afraid I donât have time to think about this.â
Han Tingxuan sighed. âThatâs such a pity. My secret guards are all good! Just let me know if needed.â
Zhou Yueqing had to say. âOkay. I will keep it in mind.â
Han Tingxuan waved his hand. At this moment, Han and Tian Yusu walked over.
âBig Brother,â Han greeted Han Tingxuan.
Han Tingxuan smiled at Tian Yusu. âYou are really early.â
Tian Yusu rolled his eyes. âYouâre the only one who donât take it seriously. The others have already gone there.â
Han Tingxuan said, âThey wonât start until everyone is present, will they? Besides, shouldnât the imperial family be the final to enter?â
âThe final to enter?â Tian Yusu didnât understand.
âThe last one to enter, so as to attract everyoneâs attention!â
Tian Yusu was speechless.
Han Tingxuan smiled. âAlright, weâre ready here too. Letâs go.â
âHan, are you going too?â Han Tingxuan immediately asked.
âYes,â Han nodded. âIâll go to protect you.â
âAlright, I do need your protection today,â Han Tingxuan thought for a moment and said, âYueqing, you should stay away from us when we get there.â
Zhou Yueqing nodded without asking why. âOkay.â
There were not many representatives from imperial family, but they used three carriages.
One for Tian Yusu, one for Han Tingxuan, Han and Zhou Yueqing, and one for the rest.
When they arrived at Xuantian The Elderlyâs place, Han Tingxuan was amazed by how spectacular it was!
The carriages parked outside were unbelievable.
Some of them were as luxurious as modern luxury cars like Ferrari!
Han Tingxuan was the last to arrive, but the parking space was preserved.
Han Tingxuan realized that even though there were a lot of people and carriages, it was not chaotic at all because quite a few people were maintaining order. Each carriage was arranged to park on a pre-assigned lot.
After getting out of the carriage, Han Tingxuan and Tian Yusu walked inside, while Zhou Yueqing departed towards the other side.
They didnât take two steps when Yang Shuo said out loud.
âBrother Han! Uncle! â
Han Tingxuan smiled at him. âYouâre here already?â Yue Youbai stood beside him. âXue.â
Yue Youbai was smiling gently and gracefully.
âSurprise to see you here too, Xue,â said Han Tingxuan.
âBrother Han, Uncle,â Yue Youbai also greeted Han Tingxuan.
After a small chitchat, Han Tingxuan pulled Yang Shuo aside but made sure that Yue Youbai could hear them.
âBrother Yang, I am glad to have you to be my brother. But uncleâ¦To be honest, he is Prince Xian.â
âWhat?!â Yang Shuoâs eyes widened in surprise as if he really didnât know. He was good at acting.
Han Tingxuan smiled bitterly. âI didnât say it was because Uncle doesnât want so many people to know his identity. Sorry, brother. But you donât have to worry. Uncle will definitely not blame you. You donât have to apologize or anything. If you do that, Uncle will be unhappy. Just remember that you donât call him uncle in public.â
Yang Shuo immediately understood Han Tingxuanâs good suggestion. He nodded and said, âThank you for the heads-p. I remember it.â
âHaha,â Han Tingxuan patted Yang Shuoâs shoulder. âI know you will understand.â
After that, Han Tingxuan did not go in with Yang Shuo. But Yang Shuo had a private talk with Xue.
âDear Xue,â Yang Shuo looked awkward.
Yue Youbai asked, looking at him. âHmm?â Whatâs wrong? Why didnât you go in with Brother Han?â
Yang Shuo pursed his lips, then said softly, âWell⦠Do you remember you said you admire Prince Chenâs husband earlier?â
Yue Youbai blinked. âI seem to have only said⦠that I respect him.â
Yang Shuo waved his hand. âIt means the same to me. Actually, Iâm a little jealous of you. So I didnât tell you that Brother Han is actually Prince Chenâs husband!â
Hearing this, Yue Youbai made a surprised expression. âWhat?â
Yang Shuo held Yue Youbaiâs hand, which Yue Youbai did not feel comfortable with. There were many people here. Most importantly, many of his subordinates were hiding in the dark.
However, Yang Shuo held his hand so tightly that Yue Youbai couldnât get rid of.
âI didnât deliberately hide it from you. I just donât want you to know that Brother Han is the person you admire!â Yang Shuo explained.
Yue Youbai was speechless. âYouâ¦â
Yang Shuo leaned over and quickly kissed him on the cheek. âIâm jealous of him!â
Yue Youbai froze there. He could clearly feel the warmth on his cheek, which messed up his heart.
âBy the way, Brother Han just told me that Uncle is actually Prince Xian! I was shocked!â
âWhat?! Prince Xian? âYue Youbai also looked shocked.
âBut it doesnât matter. Brother Han said that Uncle does not mind us calling him uncle. He is a very generous and easygoing man.â
Yue Youbai nodded with a smile. âOh.â
âMmm, thatâs all I want to say. Letâs go in. We wonât sit with Brother Han today.â
âOkayâ¦â Yue Youbai replied, then made a gesture to somewhere saying âstick to the planâ. Yang Shuo didnât notice it.
After Han Tingxuan and Tian Yusu entered, they were surrounded by officials.
There were many people they usually saw in the morning meeting. When the officials saw Tian Yusu and Han Tingxuan, they would salute to them.
Hence, Han Tingxuan could not even breathe when he was surrounded by so many people.
Fortunately, it was already very late when they arrived. Not long after, Xuantian The Elderly appeared.
Han Tingxuan looked at him. It was an old man who looked like a sage-like type. He was 90 years old, but looking like 70 years old.
As Han Tingxuan was astonished by how young he looked like, Xuantian The Elderly was actually looking straight at him!
Was he looking at him? Han Tingxuan did not think it was possible. However, it was that Xuantian The Elderly saw right into his eyes.
Their eyes met!
