Chapter 245: Chapter 230: Finished with the Exam
Su Yaoguang stood at the door, watching the candidates come out, searching for Zhou Wangshu among the crowd.
Wang Huanzhi came out first, and as soon as he saw Zhang Yingdi next to Su Yaoguang, he quickly jogged over, put his arm around her shoulder, and said, "Darling, I’m done with the exam."
Zhang Yingdi said softly, "You’ve lost weight."
"Now that the exam is over, I have plenty of time to spend with you. We’ll eat through the delicacies of the Capital City, and I’ll quickly gain it back."
"Don’t even think about it; little sis won’t eat those random things with you," Zhang Zhaodi said from the side. "She can only eat at home now; outside food isn’t trustworthy."
"I know big sis is worried that outside food isn’t clean and might affect the body, but we’re not eating out often. It should be fine."
"You two adults might be fine, but would a tiny meatball be the same?"
"What’s a tiny meatball?" Wang Huanzhi asked, confused.
Zhang Yingdi blushed, grabbed his hand and placed it on her belly, smiling at him.
Wang Huanzhi froze, staring dully at Zhang Yingdi: "You mean..."
"Bookworm," Zhang Zhaodi laughed, "You’re going to be a dad."
"Darling..." Wang Huanzhi hugged Zhang Yingdi, his eyes full of excitement. "Is it true? Darling."
Zhou Wangshu had just walked out the door when he saw Su Yaoguang running over from the opposite side and quickened his pace.
"I’m starving, is there anything to eat?"
Su Yaoguang rolled her eyes at him, taking out osmanthus cake she had made from the basket she was carrying.
As soon as Zhou Wangshu got it in hand, Chen Buyu reached out from behind and snatched the osmanthus cake from him.
"You..."
Zhong Chushan also came over, snatched the basket from Su Yaoguang’s hand, and said with a smile, "Thanks, Yaoguang sister."
Before Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu could react, Zhong Chushan and a few fellow students shared the osmanthus cakes in the basket.
"Leave a piece for Wangshu," Su Yaoguang said helplessly, "I made these for Wangshu."
"Today’s osmanthus cake is especially sweet, not like the ones bought outside."
"Yaoguang made them herself for brother-in-law," Jiang Jing said from the side. "Yaoguang said brother-in-law has suffered a lot these days, so she added a lot of honey. Today’s osmanthus cake is full of honey sweetness."
"Sorry, Brother Wangshu, you can eat next time; we’ve sampled it first."
Zhou Wangshu was upset.
Su Yaoguang knew these people were intentionally teasing Zhou Wangshu, and said, "Alright, there’s still some honey left at home, I’ll make more for you."
Zhou Wangshu looked at her aggrievedly, "Hungry."
"I’ll take you to eat now." Su Yaoguang took Zhou Wangshu and joined Zhang Zhaodi and others. "Mom, Wangshu is hungry, I’ll take him to eat something first."
"The food you made for Wangshu..."
"Godmother, sorry, we ate it first."
"Wangshu often gets to eat meals made by Yaoguang sister; we can only grab it this once, Brother Wangshu probably won’t be mad."
Zhang Zhaodi laughed, "You mischievous monkeys are teasing Wangshu again, aren’t you? Alright, eat away, it’s no big deal."
"Thanks, godmother."
Su Yaoguang took Zhou Wangshu and walked away first, others returned to Taoyao Square.
As they chatted and laughed on their way to Taoyao Square, a troop on horseback passed by.
The person on horseback looked majestic, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding grandeur. He glanced at the crowd with Zhang Zhaodi and others, and his head suddenly throbbed painfully. When he tried to look again, the people had already walked far.
"General, what’s wrong?" a trusted aide asked seeing him stop with a concerned look, "Is your old headache acting up again?"
"It’s nothing," Su Rende said, "Training the soldiers is the priority, let’s go!"
Su Yaoguang took Zhou Wangshu to stroll the market and ate some snacks at the stalls. After returning home, Zhou Wangshu went to bathe and change clothes, and Su Yaoguang made the bed for him.
While drying his hair, Zhou Wangshu walked in and saw Su Yaoguang setting up a soft couch beside him and said, "Am I sleeping here?"
"Mom’s watching closely; she doesn’t allow us to stay in separate rooms, so we just set up a soft couch in the room. But don’t worry, I’ll sleep on the couch, and you sleep on the bed."
Zhou Wangshu was too tall; the soft couch wasn’t suitable for him.
"Why should I worry?" Zhou Wangshu muttered.
"What?" Su Yaoguang didn’t catch it and turned to look at him.
Zhou Wangshu lay down on the soft couch: "I’ll sleep here then!"
"Get up, your hair is still wet, you’ll soak everything," Su Yaoguang tapped his thigh.
"Ow..." Zhou Wangshu sat up.
That sit-up made his loosely wrapped clothes fall off, revealing his strong chest.
Su Yaoguang quickly turned away, avoiding his sight, "Put your clothes on properly. There are so many women in the house; it’s not good for them to see you like this."
"This outfit is a new style; I didn’t know how to wear it."
"How is that possible?" Su Yaoguang turned around to see the new style of fastening on the clothes and frowned. "Who designed this thing, and why did they make it so hard to wear?"
"Exactly, I’ve never worn anything like this, no wonder I can’t." Zhou Wangshu extended his arms, letting Su Yaoguang fasten the buttons for him.
Su Yaoguang avoided his gaze.
Zhou Wangshu held her chin, turning her head towards him.
"How can you dress me well if you don’t look?"
"I don’t need to see." Su Yaoguang slapped his hand away, "Where did you learn that lecherous look? Did you go to some shady place with those wild friends?"
"I didn’t," Zhou Wangshu said, "Yaoguang, did you think about me these days?"
Su Yaoguang: "..."
She’s been quite busy these days.
Besides, he’s been taking exams, why should she miss him?
Seeing her expression change, Zhou Wangshu’s face darkened: "Your heart is truly like still water."
If she genuinely didn’t understand love, that would be one thing. But her past life’s devotion to that Xiao surnamed man wasn’t this coldhearted and cold-tempered.
Why does she seem to disregard him now?
Seeing him like that, Su Yaoguang knew he was going to get upset again.
She pulled him back to continue dressing him.
Zhou Wangshu stripped the clothes off directly.
"What are you doing?" Su Yaoguang covered her eyes.
"It’s so difficult to wear, forget it," Zhou Wangshu said angrily, "What’s the point if it looks good? It’s not even fitting. Keeping something so unsuitable is just inconvenient. Instead of keeping something that’s fancy but useless, it’s better to replace it."
Seeing him so angry with reddened eyes, stripping the clothes to change into another one, with the intention of running out,
she pushed him.
She always had great strength.
He lay down on the bed as a result.
Zhou Wangshu: "..."
He was already pouty, now looking even more like a wronged little wife.
