Chapter 902 - 126 Child gone?_3
Arranging the bridal chamber and buying the furniture were tasks that Mo Sanniang and Meng Liangdong discussed and decided on their own, occasionally receiving some suggestions from Old Mr. Cheng. However, settling the betrothal gifts and other trivialities weren’t things that men could handle, and since Lin Yuan hadn’t been through it herself, she left the task to Loudmouth.
Since taking over Rice Flower Fragrance, Loudmouth’s temperament had changed considerably—not only had her speech become sweeter, but she also dealt with matters with great sensitivity, sometimes even outdoing Lin Yuan.
But for some reason, when preparing the bridal bedding for Meng Liangdong’s marriage, Loudmouth would often space out, even messing up her work several times, leaving Lin Yuan puzzled.
"Seventh Sister, what’s wrong with you? Are you exhausted from being too busy these days?"
Loudmouth suddenly snapped back to reality, looked at the needle in her hand, exclaimed in pain, and quickly started to re-sew the undone stitches, laughing awkwardly as she explained, "It’s nothing, it’s nothing, probably just didn’t sleep well last night. You know how it is, when you get older, sleep becomes elusive."
While threading the red string into the needle eye, Lin Yuan teased her with a laugh, "I think it’s high time you found yourself a man to keep you company. You know, the older you get, the lonelier you become. Without someone by your side, of course, sleep doesn’t come easy!"
Loudmouth glared at her, huffed, "Silly girl, don’t think I won’t speak my mind just because you’re my boss. Such a youngster, and what are you always thinking about? I’d say the one who needs a man the most is you. Look, Mr. Meng is about to marry Sanniang, and you, you little miss, when are you planning to marry Young Master Xia?"
Joining in the laughter while sewing a new quilt for Meng Liangdong, Sister-in-law Luo and Fifth Sister Bai chimed in, "Exactly, have you seen how Young Master Xia looks at you? He wishes he could follow you around all day, for fear someone else might whisk you away."
"If you ask me, although you’re still young and marriage might be a bit early for you," Aunt Chen, who had been silent, said as she tied a knot in the thread and smiled at Lin Yuan.
