Chapter 397 Seo Jang Geum's Invention?
"Big brother, what were you talking to Madam about?" Qiaoqiao and Luo Ning walked out, laughing and joking. They noticed that the face of Madam Xiao was flushed with a hint of displeasure as she flicked her sleeve and left. They had no idea what had happened, so they asked Lin Wanrong.
"Oh, it was nothing," Lord Lin said, his face full of righteousness, and he spoke seriously, "I was discussing an academic issue with my wife concerning the 'Dongxuanzi's Thirty-Six Scatter Hands.' It's very profound; I'll teach you when I have time."
Luo Ning snorted in disbelief, covering her lips, "Big brother, you're so good at talking nonsense, I don't believe you at all. Madam Xiao left in such a hurry; surely you've done something inappropriate that upset her. If you ask me, it might have something to do with the two young ladies from the Xiao family."
She was not entirely right, but not far from the truth. Who would have thought that the passionate and charming Miss Luo would be so astute? Lin Wanrong laughed and played dumb, grabbing Qiaoqiao with one hand and wrapping his other arm around Luo Ning, caressing her waist, and he said, "You sisters have been reunited, hiding in the room and whispering. Let me hear what you were talking about."
Qiaoqiao giggled and interjected, "I was listening to Sister Ning tell of your heroic deeds, big brother. How did you conquer her? Tell us about it. Seeing Sister Ning's radiant face, I think she must have tasted great sweetness already."
"You naughty girl," Luo Ning's cheeks turned peachy red, and she rushed to cover Qiaoqiao's little mouth. The laughter of the two women echoed throughout the courtyard. Watching the graceful figures of the two women frolic, Lin Wanrong felt a faint sense of peace in his heart. Life was short; how many times could one enjoy such warm moments? Contentment was the key.
The two women played for a while, finally stopping, panting and embracing. Luo Ning glanced around, sticking out her bright red tongue, making a face, and carelessly said, "I almost forgot, this is the Xiao residence. Qiaoqiao, have we been too presumptuous?"
The master of the Xiao family, Eldest Miss, had shyly retreated into her room, and the Madam had left in anger, leaving only the three of them in the courtyard. It felt odd, as though they were neither guests nor hosts. At this, Qiaoqiao fell silent, and the two of them waited for their big brother to speak.
