EBE Chapter 172 Teasing Him
Chapter 172 Teasing Him
"Where did your young mistress go?" Su Yizhuo asked, forcing a smile.
"I don't know, but since the young mistress didn't get a carriage, she probably won't go too far. If Your Highness isn't in a hurry, you can wait in the front hall for a while."
Su Yizhu thought for a moment and realized that he didn't have any other important matters to attend to.
He jumped off his horse and handed the reins to another person: "Alright, you lead me in."
As Su Yizhuo followed the gatekeeper into the courtyard, he "scolded" Wei Dongning from beginning to end.
Now that the child is healthy, he's started running around everywhere.
He wanted to find someone but didn't know where to look.
This is such a waste of time.
Wei Dongning didn't actually go far; she just took Xiao Fu out for a stroll in the market.
She never expected Su Yizhuo to come looking for her now.
These past two days, Xiao Wu has been so engrossed in playing with its new friends that it's almost forgotten its responsibility to accompany the system.
Not to mention that he tipped her off by telling her that Gu Peiyan had told Su Yizhuo about buying the cat.
When Wei Dongning returned with a bunch of delicious food, she was a little confused when the gatekeeper told her that Su Yizhuo was waiting for her in the front hall.
He frantically called out to Xiao Wu in his mind: "Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, why didn't you tell me my brother was coming?"
"Huh? I didn't notice. I was teaching the little one to play with toys. Why don't I help you find out why he came over?"
"No need, I'll go ask him. I reckon there's been a result regarding the matter at the estate." Wei Dongning found some food that Su Yizhuo also liked in the bags she and Xiao Fu were carrying, and held it in her hand: "Xiao Fu, go and take these things back to our courtyard first, and bring the little guy over while you're at it."
Then he stepped into the reception room and softly called out to Su Yizhuo, who was sitting there in a daze, "Brother."
The tea beside Su Yizhuo had gone cold. If Wei Dongning hadn't returned in time, his patience would probably have become as cold as the tea.
The only thing keeping him sitting here is that he hasn't seen his little baby yet.
"You're finally back! I've been waiting for you so long the flowers have all withered."
Wei Dongning placed the paper package in front of him, sat back down in her seat, and raised an eyebrow at him: "Have you recently become obsessed with playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game)?"
"Stop being so cheeky. We agreed that I'd help you with the estate, and you'd buy me a cat and send it over. I've already taken care of the estate for you today, but where's my kitten? If your Gu Peiyan hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you'd already chosen a cat and brought it back. Don't tell me you regretted it after buying it. I'm taking my little darling away from you today, no matter what." Su Yizhuo's mouth was like a machine gun, rattling off at Wei Dongning.
When Wei Dongning heard Gu Peiyan's name, her eyes narrowed.
No wonder her brother was so patient and waited for her all day.
It turns out a traitor leaked the secret beforehand.
Why aren't you saying anything? Did I guess right?
"Your imagination is getting better and better. Don't worry, I won't fight you for the child. I have my Xiao Wu, that's enough. Xiao Fu went back to the yard to get the cat for you." Wei Dongning walked to his side, took out a piece of Hundred Flower Cake from the paper package and put it in her mouth.
She needs to think carefully about what she should do for Gu Peiyan when he comes back.
He was in charge of "reporting" at the Censorate, but why did he extend this habit back to his home?
Should she praise him for being so "dedicated to his job"?
Su Yizhuo suddenly felt a chill, rubbed his arms, and then noticed her dangerous gaze.
Oh dear, it seems a man is about to be in trouble.
Xiao Fu was holding the little one in her arms, and carrying several things that Xiao Wu had pushed to her side.
When Xiao Wu pushed these toys to her, she couldn't understand what they were supposed to do.
Xiao Wu was so anxious that he paced around on the ground, wishing he could just tell her his intentions directly.
After calming down, Xiao Wu stretched out its paw again, patted the toy on the ground, and then pointed to the little guy next to it.
After a long while, Xiao Fu suddenly realized what was going on, squatted down, stared into Xiao Wu's eyes, and asked, "Xiao Wu wants me to take these things with the little guy, right?"
Xiao Wu nodded vigorously.
Ningbao has prepared many toys for it, and Sister Xiaofu also makes it many plush toys, so it never lacks toys to play with.
It wanted to give the little guy its favorite toys from the past two days, so that it wouldn't forget about it.
When Xiao Fu carried the little guy into the living room, he curiously looked at the strange man who had taken him in.
Her little nose twitched twice, but she didn't notice any danger signals from him, so she let him "touch and grope" her.
Su Yizhuo was immediately attracted by the little guy's good looks. He held it and looked around to confirm its gender.
Because Xiao Fu was there, he didn't dare to let loose.
But inside, she was already screaming, "Aaaaaah! No wonder she's my daughter, she's so beautiful! Just like her dad!"
On the surface, she calmly picked up the kitten and stood up, saying, "Now that I've picked up the little guy, I won't bother you any longer."
He wants to take his little baby home and cherish him.
From today onwards, he is also a member of the cat family.
So what if the Crown Prince has a wife and kids? He has a cat!
Next time he comes to show off in front of him, he can shut him up.
As for Gu Peiyan, who reported him to the authorities.
Sorry, brother, my sister and kitten are more important.
He should just pray for his own good fortune.
After seeing Su Yizhu off, Wei Dongning gritted her teeth.
He laughed again a moment later.
She seemed to understand why Gu Peiyan had gone to complain.
Ha, men, they're even jealous of kittens.
Anyone who didn't know him would think he grew up surrounded by jealousy.
She took this opportunity to tease him a little.
When Gu Peiyan returned home, she keenly noticed something unusual about the house.
The beautiful little creature is missing; it must have been taken back by the Second Prince.
But why didn't either A Ning or Xiao Wu pay attention to him when they heard he was back?
Gu Peiyan raised her hand in confusion and beckoned Xiao Fu over: "Did someone make A Ning angry today?"
Xiao Fu had already received Wei Dongning's orders, and now she put on her acting skills to the extreme: "No, the young mistress has been in a good mood all day, and she even bought a lot of food today."
"Alright, you and Qianrong can go down first."
Gu Peiyan could tell that she was just giving her a perfunctory answer, but she didn't call her out on it.
He walked over to Wei Dongning and sat down next to her: "Are you in a bad mood?"
Wei Dongning was determined to tease him, so she pretended he didn't exist and turned to the next page of the storybook in her hand.
"Is it because the little one is unhappy about being picked up?"
Gu Peiyan stared at Wei Dongning's movements, and after finding everything normal, another possibility occurred to her: "Is it because of me?"
Wei Dongning rubbed her hand on the paper, and Gu Peiyan knew she had guessed correctly.
That leaves only one specific event:
“I told the Second Prince that you brought the cat back, just to put his mind at ease. After all, they helped us with the affairs of the estate, so we should give them something in return.”
Wei Dongning suppressed a laugh and gave a sarcastic "Oh~".
Are you angry?
"No way, I just miss the days when I could sleep."
