Chapter 194 - 138: My Husband Certainly Knows How to Create a Sense of Ceremony!
Nuannuan draped his cloak over her shoulders, a circle of black fox fur accentuating her delicate and fair little face.
Her bright, phoenix-like eyes were slightly raised, teasing lightly, with ripples of liveliness and cuteness.
Just like a little fox.
She leaned down, her beautiful lips slightly curled, "I’m naturally sleepy."
As the man’s amber eyes grew brighter, she added, "But today, I shall transform into a diligent little cook and prepare a delicious hometown meal for my husband."
Nuannuan’s voice was extraordinarily sweet and soft.
With the mention of ’husband,’ Yelyu Lie’s heart bloomed with joy.
He grasped her soft little hand, intending to steal a kiss, but was unsuccessful!
Nuannuan laughed sweetly, gently withdrawing her hand from his warm palm and left with a lively step.
Yelyu Lie watched her in the room, first brushing her teeth and washing her face, then selecting clothes for the New Year from the large trunk.
Yelyu Lie’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly recalling something important he had forgotten!
He had not prepared New Year’s clothes for his little wife! Nor the festive pouch!
He threw off the blanket and was about to get up when Nuannuan, who had just found a red and gold interlaced jacket, stopped him, "If you’re not going to sleep, are you planning to cultivate?"
"I forgot to prepare new clothes for you!"
Yelyu Lie looked impatient.
He resented himself for being such a rough man who never cared about the holidays, forgetting to prepare many New Year items for his little wife.
Yun Chunnuan was comparing the jacket in front of the copper mirror and glanced at him in surprise, "I couldn’t tell that my husband was quite ceremonial!"
Yelyu Lie didn’t understand what ceremonial meant; he just knew that whatever other children had, his little wife should have too!
And it should be the best!
He hurriedly headed outside, paying no heed to the fact that he was only wearing undergarments.
As he passed by Nuannuan, she tugged his soft little hand, "Silly, aren’t these clothes in the trunk all gifts from you? I used to deliberately dislike you and reject you, so I never cared about these things.
Now things are different, I like every piece, they are all my treasures~
Or do you think this outfit doesn’t look good on your wife, and you must find a better one to make me look prettier?"
"Nonsense!" He tapped her upturned little nose, "You, girl, must have poor vision if you think my wife is anything but a Fairy from the heavens! Seeing her even once would add years to one’s life, how could she not look good?
Come come, today this General will let you see for yourself!"
He grasped Nuannuan’s slender shoulders and pushed her to the copper mirror, "Do you see? That’s how a Fairy looks, so don’t say nonsense in the future, lest my wife gets angry."
In the mirror, Nuannuan, holding the red and gold jacket for comparison, burst into laughter.
A soft, sweet smile adorned with dimples appeared at the corners of her lips, a single glance would make someone fall for it.
"Silly! I thought I found a rough man, but who knew it would be a charming gentleman with honeyed words. Husband!"
She stood by his side, a handsome man and a pretty woman.
"I don’t care about those ceremonial things. My dad once told me that as long as the loved ones are around, every moment is a festival.
So, New Year’s clothes and gifts aren’t important.
Because I’ve already got the best."
She tilted her small face, her phoenix eyes squinted like crescents.
The vermillion mark at the corner of her eye seemed etched into Yelyu Lie’s heart, no matter how he looked, it was never enough.
"Nuannuan, you are also my New Year... no, you are my greatest honor in life. It’s not that you don’t look good in this dress, but today we’re visiting the palace, so it must be more ceremonious. I’ll have someone from the palace..."
"This auntie, are the General and Madam still resting?"
At this moment, a sharp voice was heard from outside.
Unlike the annoying one from yesterday, even though it’s a typical eunuch’s voice, Yun Chunnuan didn’t find it annoying.
She smiled with her eyes bent at the man, "Is that mother’s person?"
"How do you know?"
"Silly, mother must have thought everything through more thoroughly than you, it’s my first time entering the palace, during New Year, with everyone present, even for you, mother will prepare everything, you’ll see."
She quickly changed into the red and gold interlaced jacket, her hair simply tied at the back, and pulled the man’s big hand as they left the room.
