Master Hong's Lucky Bride

Luckily, the car had stopped and she had woken up from her dream. Her nightmare was gone. She straightened up and snorted coldly. “If it weren’t for the fact that it wasn’t easy to hail a taxi in the countryside and that my mother urged me to come back, I wouldn’t have taken your car.”

Yang Jinyan turned around and looked at her calmly.

Zhuang Xinyan was trying to regain composure but she suddenly froze.

Yang Jinyan’s voice rang out. “You say that you didn’t want to ride in my car, but you did and you got here from the countryside in just a few hours. Even if you didn’t want to ride in my car, you filled my car up with your stuff.You didn’t offer to treat me to a meal out of courtesy. Shouldn’t you at least thank me?”

After Yang Jinyan’s long speech, Zhuang Xinyan was instantly speechless. She was a very intelligent woman and he had impressed her. He was right. What he said made sense.

Zhuang Xinyan said in a daze, “Thank you.”

Yang Jinyan tore his gaze from her and turned around. The corners of his mouth curled up into a faint smile. “You’re welcome. Get out of the car. Remember to take the peanuts.”

“Oh.”

“Why aren’t you getting out of the car?” Through the rearview mirror, Yang Jinyan saw Zhuang Xinyan struggle for a moment before she stopped moving. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

Hearing his cold and disdainful tone, Zhuang Xinyan felt a strong sense of resentment for some reason. With red eyes, she glared at Yang Jinyan’s back and growled, “My legs are numb, can’t you give me a moment? What are you rushing me for? It’s not like I’m about to give birth in your car.”

Yang Jinyan turned to look at her. As he looked at her red eyes and puffed up little face, the irritation he felt disappeared.

“Don’t talk so much.” What nonsense was this?

After Yang Jinyan finished reprimanding her, he unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car. He walked around the front of the car and opened Zhuang Xinyan’s door.

The man’s shadow flashed before Zhuang Xinyan’s eyes, followed by a pleasant masculine musk. It was familiar. She had smelled it for more than a year, but every time she smelled it, she would still be dazed. She was in a daze at that moment. The big box that had been pressing down on her throughout the entire journey was lifted off her by a pair of strong arms.

Yang Jinyan stood in front of the car door, holding her box of extremely heavy peanuts. He frowned and looked at her. “Is that better?”

Zhuang Xinyan had wanted to argue with him, but when she heard his concern for her, she could not help but change her tone. She muttered, “A little better.”

As soon as Zhuang Xinyan got out of the car, Yang Jinyan stuffed the box of heavy peanuts back into her arms and said in a low voice, “Hurry up and go inside.”

“Um... Do you want to come in for a while?” After Zhuang Xinyan said that, she almost bit her tongue off. She realized what she had just said. How could she invite a man into her home?

Yang Jinyan took a glance at her. Her voice was calm, but there was tenderness in it for some reason. “No, I didn’t bring a gift today.” 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

“Then I’ll head in first.” It would be better if he did not come in. It was just a slip of the tongue just now.

Zhuang Xinyan held onto the box of peanuts and struggled as she walked into the house. Yang Jinyan looked at her clumsy gait and smiled slightly. He had never seen someone so foolish and gullible.

As soon as she entered the house, Zhuang Xinyan’s face broke into a smile. “Mom, these are the fresh peanuts you wanted. A big 66-pound box. I’ve brought them for you. These will be great for my sister-in-law’s health.”

Lan Yibai’s gaze swept over her and she said, “You know about our family matters, right?”

Zhuang Xinyan quickly grabbed a box of peanuts and opened one for Lan Yibai. “Mom, quick, try this. It’s still fresh. Don’t worry. I’m your daughter, and the Zhuang family’s third miss. It’s my life’s mission to give up my hand in marriage for the Zhuang family.”

Lan Yibai was upset when she heard that. She said softly, “You make it sound so tragic. Yang Jinyan is not a bad person. Since the two of you are in love, I’ll give you two a nudge.”

Zhuang Xinyan wondered who she was talking about?

That man! Did he leave? If he had yet to leave, she would grab a knife and chop him into small pieces.

Zhuang Xinyan’s face became redder and redder as she listened to Lan Yibai’s explanation.

Lan Yibai did not notice her strange behavior. She only said, “Although the Yang family does not live close-by, they are not too far away. It shouldn’t be a problem for you. You can come back once or twice a month.”

To put it bluntly, she was still a little reluctant to part with Zhuang Xinyan. She hinted that even if Zhuang Xinyan got married, she would have to come visit often. Cen Shuang listened from a little ways away. She could not help but smile. She could see that Zhuang Xinyan was not objecting to this marriage. Moreover, Lan Yibai was usually very critical of Zhuang Xinyan. However, now, it seemed like she had things figured out.
