Chapter 445 - 445 Admitted Defeat!
445 Admitted Defeat!
The two children could tell that Yu Yan’er was deliberately trying to annoy them. How was he supposed to not lose his temper and continue putting up with this?
He was not his second brother and would not tolerate Gong Cheng’s bad habits.
He did not know that Qian Jiyun had planned to visit Lord Gong at the Gong Residence after this incident. Qian Jiyun had decided to send Gong Cheng to “meditate in seclusion” for some time.
Gong Cheng probably did not have to return to the capital for another three to five years!
That explained why he was so patient with Gong Cheng. Otherwise, he would have fallen out with him long ago.
“Fifth Brother!” Gong Cheng was furious.
Is it inappropriate for me to go out today? Why am I being criticized like this? First, it’s Second Brother, and now it’s Fifth Brother. Why am I so unlucky?
All I did was bring Yu Yan’er along. She’s my cousin! Why can’t I bring her out to play? Is there a need to despise her so much?
We didn’t even despise An Jiuyue for coming from the countryside, but they despised us first.
“Since Miss Yu wants to board the boat so badly, come on board,” An Jiuyue said.
Since she wanted to board the boat so badly, An Jiuyue had to give her a chance, right? She looked at Yu Yan’er with a relaxed gaze, staring at her until her eyes were filled with guilt, and she avoided her gaze.
Finally, Gong Cheng and Yu Yan’er boarded the ship because of one word from An Jiuyue.
Gong Cheng did not understand why his second brother was so obedient to An Jiuyue.
Would he have agreed to let them on the boat so quickly if someone else had said that? He might not even consider it.
Even Xia Junfeng was astonished.
Qian Jiyun always stood by his word—something that would only change when that old woman from his residence caused trouble.
But one word from An Jiuyue made him change his decision. Wasn’t that too easy?
Xia Junfeng did not believe that a person could change so much. It was as if he had become a different person. He almost suspected that the person in front of him was not his second brother.
But he thought it looked natural when he saw Qian Jiyun reach out and pick a lotus seed pod, peel the lotus seeds, and casually bring them to An Jiuyue’s mouth for her to eat.
He thought he was already very sweet and thoughtful to Chen Youran, but he admitted defeat to Qian Jiyun!
“Maybe it’s because of the water quality, but the lotus seeds in the Moonlight Lotus Pond are sweeter than those found elsewhere. Zheng’er, Rong’er, try some too.”
Qian Jiyun picked two more and handed one to each of them. However, he did not peel the lotus seeds for them.
The two little ones did not mind. Qian Jiyun did not have to peel lotus seeds for them—they were big children anyway. They had peeled and eaten the seeds in their mother’s space. It was an easy task.
“It’s quite sweet.” An Jiuyue nodded in agreement.
However, she thought that all tender lotus seeds were very sweet.
“Mother, eat.”
Qian Yizheng was very good at peeling. He quickly peeled one but did not eat it himself. Instead, he brought it to his mother’s mouth.
Although he was young, he could still take good care of his mother. He did not need Uncle Qian to feed her. Of course, he had no intention of snatching her away from him.
“Here’s mine too, Mother. I peeled them very carefully. You can eat mine.”
