Chapter 2647: Chapter 2648: Return to Tianyun (214)

Hearing Tao Mingqing say that, Su Yuxin immediately turned her head to Su Xing with a roguish grin and said, "Little Aunt, look, he has no objections."

Su Xing shook her head with a smile. "He’s just wary because you’re a Princess. All right, since the way you’re calling him isn’t exactly awful, you can keep calling him that. But I’m just worried Sizhi will get jealous if he hears. You’ve never called him ’Xiao Xiuxiu.’"

Su Yuxin immediately snorted. "He’s a few days older than me and already acts like an old man. If I called him Xiao Xiuxiu, never mind grossing him out, I’d gross myself out."

Su Xing only shook her head, laughing. "Anyway, no matter what, you always have your reasons, don’t you?"

Su Yuxin nodded right away. "Yes, yes~"

Tao Mingqing stood there wanting to look at Su Yuxin, yet not daring to.

No one noticed anything off about Tao Mingqing, because he was behaving so properly, no different from usual.

Seeing Tao Mingqing still standing there respectfully, Su Xing smiled at him and said, "Sit down, don’t just stand. This is still your big brother’s and my turf, not that Princess Chang’s territory. You don’t have to be so stiff."

"Yes." Only then did Tao Mingqing sit down on the round stool Hong Ye brought over.

Su Xing, Taoming Ye, and Su Yuxin were sitting up on the heated brick bed.

Su Yuxin couldn’t help looking again at the fair, tender, handsome Tao Mingqing and teased, "Little Uncle, your fifth brother really is so docile, like a tame white cat."

Before Taoming Ye could speak, Su Xing laughed and said, "Just now you agreed he looked like a golden boy fallen from the heavens, and now he’s a white cat. Enough, stop poking fun at him. For your Little Uncle’s sake, all right?"

Su Yuxin laughed. "I’ll try."

Tao Mingqing actually quite liked Su Yuxin focusing her attention on him, even though sometimes what she said left him at a total loss for words.

Su Yuxin stayed for a little while longer before leaving.

It felt as though Tao Mingqing’s heart went with her. When Taoming Ye talked to him, he kept spacing out.

Seeing Tao Mingqing like this, Su Xing laughed and said, "You said you were going to keep your big brother company at chess, but looking at you now, you’ll probably be off visiting the King of Dreams halfway through. What’s wrong, didn’t you sleep well? Why are you so slow to react?"

Tao Mingqing followed along with a gentle smile. "I did go to bed a bit late last night."

Taoming Ye said, "Then let’s forget it for today. Come keep me company for chess another day."

Tao Mingqing rose and said politely, "Then Big Brother, Sister-in-law, I’ll take my leave first. Another day I’ll properly keep Big Brother company for a game."

After Tao Mingqing left, seeing the mahjong set right at hand, Su Xing simply called Hong Ye and Ru Song over. She, her husband, Hong Ye, and Ru Song, the four of them, sat around the table to play mahjong.

Hong Ye and Ru Song didn’t know how at first, but after Su Xing and Taoming Ye taught them a few times, they got the hang of it.

They played until it was nearly dark before calling it a day.

Afterward, seeing that Taoming Ye wasn’t the least bit tired, Su Xing was especially happy. "Your health is getting better by the day."

Taoming Ye smiled gently. "I’ve been taking medicine for over two months now. The results are quite obvious."

Su Xing smiled. "Second Brother said you only need to take it for half a year, so you’ve only got a little over three months left."

"Mm."

"It’s already the fifteenth today. In just over ten days it’ll be New Year. If the weather’s nice tomorrow, let’s go walk around the streets?"

"All right."

The next day, the weather really was excellent, so Su Xing went out of the residence with Taoming Ye, wandering all around the Imperial City.

They didn’t bring any guards, only Hong Ye and Ru Song.
