Chapter 300: Chapter 301: Startling and Exciting (First Update)_1

Upon hearing this, Nan Quanyou naturally understood most of the implications. Taking a woman home - what might that signal? It would mean he was remarrying.

"Qiaoyun, absolutely not! Our village is just a remote place. The life here is too simple, unlike the city where everything is available. If you follow me back, you’ll only suffer. Moreover..."

Lin Qiaoyun interrupted him, "Moreover, you don’t want to remarry, do you?"

"I... I fear my late wife would hold it against me," Nan Quanyou admitted outright.

Seeing Lin Qiaoyun start to shed tears, Nan Quanyou tried to console, "Qiaoyun, you were married too. Didn’t your husband die young as well? Aren’t you afraid he would blame you from his grave if you remarried?"

Feeling dejected and ashamed after being rejected, Lin Qiaoyun honestly expressed, "That man used to beat me incessantly, almost to death. I didn’t shed a single tear when he died. His passing actually felt like a relief."

"This..." Nan Quanyou looked at Lin Qiaoyun sympathetically, wanting to comfort her, but was at loss for words.

Lin Qiaoyun uttered in a low voice, "I understand your feelings, Brother Quanyou. If you are unwilling to accept someone like me, let’s just pretend I never came here tonight. Please, don’t disclose this to anyone else in order to avoid any disgrace."

"Rest assured, I won’t tell anyone," Nan Quanyou promised, initially attempting to console Lin Qiaoyun. However, his assurance made her seem even more heartbroken than before.

Lin Qiaoyun lamented in deep self-pity, "Alas, it only stands to show how ill-fated I am."

With that, she wiped her tears and rushed out hastily.

...

Ye sent Nan Feng home to the courtyard of Yongwang Lane. As they bid farewell, he affectionately patted Nan Feng’s head and wished her sweet dreams, to which she responded, "You too."

They had had a pleasant evening by the river bank, releasing floating lanterns, exchanging kisses and sweet nothings. Ye was concerned that staying out too late might endanger them, so he escorted Nan Feng home.

Regretfully, Nan Feng entered the yard and walked towards her front door.

Despite the late hour, light shone from two houses in the compound. The sounds of children’s laughter could be heard from Bu Rong’s home. Just as Nan Feng was about to enter her house, the door suddenly swung open from inside.

Lin Qiaoyun, glimpsing Nan Feng, was taken aback. She probably hadn’t expected Nan Feng to return at this hour. Her already flushed face grew even more embarrassed.

Seeing Lin Qiaoyun hastily retreat into her own home and slam the door shut, Nan Feng was instantly filled with confusion.

Why was Lin Qiaoyun in her house this late at night without Fuko? And why did she seem so flustered? Could it be...

In the house, Nan Quanyou, seeing Lin Qiaoyun make a swift exit, breathed a sigh of relief. But the front door was pushed open again which made him anxious once more. However, he relaxed again as soon as he spotted Nan Feng entering.

Quickly, Nan Feng queried, "Dad, what’s going on? Why are you so flustered?"

"Fengfeng, didn’t you plan on spending the night at Feng Gu’s? Why did you come back?" Nan Quanyou asked.

"No, I finished my stuff and came back," Nan Feng didn’t mention anything about the floating lanterns with Ye. She walked up to Nan Quanyou and asked, "Dad, I saw Aunt Qiaoyun rushing out just now. What’s going on?"
