Chapter 612: Unaware of the Sadness
Chapter 612: Unaware of the Sadness
Murong Yun quietly stared at Qian Duoduo, who had become extremely well-behaved. After she finished speaking, she sat there upright, concentrating on reading the book in her hand.
He couldn't help but smile slightly, raised his hand and gently patted her little head, the action was gentle and intimate.
However, he did not say a word, as if he was afraid of breaking the peaceful atmosphere. Then, Murong Yun picked up the book he had just read, slowly turned the pages, and began to immerse himself in it.
At this moment, both of them looked very calm, like two quiet sculptures.
But in reality, their hearts are like a rough sea, with a myriad of thoughts.
Although Murong Yun had already greeted Qian Duoduo in advance and informed her of the news that she would be returning to the main space soon, she still couldn't help feeling a little worried deep in her heart.
Murong Yun was also thinking secretly, could it be that it was because their progress here was too slow that they still had not been able to find the target of the mission assigned to them by the main system - that mysterious person?
But the current situation is really confusing. All the clues seem to have disappeared without a trace like a kite with a broken string. It can be said that there are no clues at all.
Faced with such a predicament, Murong Yun felt a sense of powerlessness, but he knew that he must not give up easily at this moment and must try every means to solve the mystery.
It was not until night fell and the lights came on that the aroma of food wafted from everywhere in the villa. Qian Yi then sent people to look for the two men and bring them back for dinner.
After a long while, Qian Duoduo and Murong Yun slowly appeared.
As soon as he saw them, Qian Yi said, "What's wrong? Today is New Year's Eve! You two are always chattering non-stop on weekdays, why are you so quiet today? Did you have a quarrel?"
As he spoke, his eyes were still looking back and forth between the two of them, full of worry.
Hearing this, Murong Yun seemed to have a switch pressed and instantly became energetic.
He put his arm around Qian Yi's shoulders and said with a smile:
"How can I do that! Look at me, how dare I mess with this lady! Let's go quickly, my stomach is growling with hunger."
After saying that, he pulled Qian Yi towards the restaurant without further ado.
After walking a few steps, Murong Yun suddenly stopped and looked back. He found that there was no one else except the three of them, and he couldn't help wondering:
"Oh, by the way, where is Zhou She? Why didn't this guy come with us?" He thought to himself, it would be more lively if Zhou She could come too.
You know, Qian Duoduo generously returned Zhou She's indenture contract to Zhou She after confirming Murong Yun and Qian Yi's intentions.
However, in order to show his sincerity towards Qian Yi, Zhou She did not accept the contract, but instead handed it back to Qian Yi.
After all, they neither have children to inherit the family business, nor do they need to take the imperial examinations to gain fame like those literati, so the presence or absence of this indenture contract does not really have much impact.
What Zhou She did made Qian Yi feel more at ease and secure.
"Him?" Qian Yi was a little embarrassed to say it.
"Yes, let Brother Zhou come over. Although you can't celebrate publicly, it's still okay for our family to be here. Let's just count it as a witness today and let you officially become our family." Qian Duoduo quickly recovered and said.
"Hey!"
Qian Duoduo couldn't help but sigh softly, with an indescribable complex emotion welling up in her heart. She murmured to herself:
"Suddenly, I felt like marrying my sister off. I really felt reluctant to let her go."
As she spoke, she shook her head gently, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
When Qian Yi heard Qian Duoduo's words, he smiled slightly, patted her shoulder comfortingly and said:
"Stop talking nonsense, you! I'll have someone call them all over right now, um... Butler Qi, Xiao Qi, Wang Bo, and no one can be left behind."
After saying that, Qian Yi was about to turn around and tell his servants to do something, but Murong Yun stopped him, "I'll go."
At this moment, Qian Duoduo stared quietly at Murong Yun's departing back, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
She knew very well that the reason her brother Qian Yi chose to handle his relationship with Zhou She in such a low-key manner was not simply because he was afraid of causing trouble to his family or bringing about a bad reputation.
Although the Zhou Dynasty did not explicitly prohibit homosexuality, it was somewhat contrary to traditional concepts.
Therefore, there are very few people who can truly give sincere blessings. It can be said that almost no one will do so openly. At most, they know it to each other in private.
Thinking of this, Qian Duoduo felt more and more how difficult it was for his brother Qian Yi.
She understood that Qian Yi was actually already satisfied. Whether it was herself or Murong Yun, being able to do this for him was enough.
As for whether a clear status was needed to define the relationship between him and Zhou She, it was not so important. As long as the two of them could live happily and their family members could be at ease, this was the greatest blessing.
"Okay, don't worry about us. We are fine the way we are now." Qian Yi looked at Qian Duoduo, the sister who bought him, with a kind face.
He felt that if he had a biological sister, he might not be able to do so.
"Brother, actually you don't have to worry about us. We just want you to be happy." Qian Duoduo felt it necessary to say what was in her heart. No matter what Qian Yi thought, she had to express her thoughts. She didn't want Qian Yi to feel that they were a burden to her and live in anxiety.
Qian Yi gently touched Qian Duoduo's hair and said, "Of course I know how good you are to me. Don't worry, no matter what happens, we will never give up on each other and will protect each other.
Just like you said, we'll be happy. So, you little old lady, don't worry about it."
"How could I? If I were a little old lady, wouldn't you be a little old grandfather? Haha..."
When Zhou She and others came over, they saw their young master and young lady standing there, not knowing what they were saying, but laughing loudly. Everyone felt happy just by watching them, and Zhou She felt the deepest.
"Young Master, Young Miss." Everyone said in unison.
"Okay, there are no outsiders here today, we are all family, let's celebrate the Little New Year together. Xiaoqi, serve more New Year's Eve dinner so that everyone can eat their fill."
"Yes, Miss." Qian Xiaoqi happily went to the kitchen like a rabbit and gave orders.
