The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter 174: Gay?

Qian Yingchen returned to his senses and nodded. He placed his hand over his fist to salute Ji Man. "This one and Teacher Ji can be considered kindred spirits. It'll soon be this one's wedding celebration. If you don't mind, feel free to come and drink this one's humble wine."

Ji Man's gossiping heart felt as if it had been doused with icy water. Her smile disappeared. She blankly looked at Qian Yingchen and asked, "You're getting married?"

"Yes." Qian Yingchen stood up and dusted off his clothes.

A nearby servant had already come forward to pack away the chess game.

Qian Yingchen's smiling face really was very good-looking. "The marquis was the one that introduced us. It'll probably be a destined marriage that will do well."

Ji Man pursed her lips and thought of Zhu Yurun. She found the situation a bit pitiful. While that girl was still obsessing over him and wanting to save her body for him and giving birth to his child, the other party was going to tie the knot with another marriage partner through an opportune connection.

Still, Zhu Yurun wasn't a woman that just anyone would dare to marry. With his health and body, Qing Yingchen really wouldn't be able to stand that spoiled miss's torment. Although the falling flowers are yearning for love, the heartless brook ripples on indifferently.

She let out a long sigh. Right after she responded to his answer by saying congratulations, Marquis Moyu stood up.

Haohao was stretching his little hand out. He kept trying to reach Ji Man's clothes to tug on it. Unfortunately, his arm was too short. With his father holding onto him, there was no way he would be able to reach. Just as Haohao was finally almost able to grab hold of Ji Man's clothes, Marquis Moyu stood up and headed inside, so Haohao's soft, white hand only ended up grasping empty air.

"Teacher," Haohao unhappily called out. He was leaning over Ning Yuxuan's shoulder and pitifully looking at Ji Man. This person usually always played with him. Why weren't they playing today?

Ji Man's heart softened from Haohao's simple word. She clenched her jaw and decided to brazenly follow them inside. Although it was obvious that Ning Yuxuan was changing his location to chat because he wanted to avoid her, she couldn't bear leaving Haohao, this little cutie, when he was looking at her so pitifully. She was also very curious about what was going on with Qian Ying Chen.

Following after Marquis Moyu, Ji Man changed her positions several times to try to take Haohao. But, Ning Yuxuan was like someone that had eyes on the back of his head. He kept changing where he was holding Haohao so that Ji Man couldn't touch him.

Ji Man felt furious. She really wanted to punch him in the head.

Ning Yuxuan finally spoke to her in a chilly voice, "Teacher Ji, since you're going to be busy with getting married, you naturally won't have time to take care of Haohao. How about I just find someone that's better qualified to be his teacher?"

"What? No!" She hastily tucked her arms behind her back and said with fear and trepidation, "This one's wedding will only take one day to complete. Anyways, this one doesn't have any relatives or friends either, so this one won't need to request a leave of absence to rest. So, this one will of course have time to care of Haohao!"

Ning Yuxuan turned his head to look at her. There wasn't much expression on his face. "Once you're married, you'll be living outside of this estate. If something happens to Haohao, will you be able to drop everything and rush back here immediately?"

"Of course, of course!" Ji Man quickly and repeatedly nodded her head. "Miss Zhu and I can also continue to live apart after we get married. She can live in the new home by herself, and this one can continue living in your estate."
