Chapter 1154: Chapter 1159 Adorable Xiang Yun (4)

He gave up hope and quickly accepted An Ziyi. ZiYi was indeed a good girl. Not only did Dad and Mom like her a lot, but she had also taken a blow for him. If he didn’t marry her, she wouldn’t be able to marry anyone else!

Therefore, he agreed to this marital affair. Dad and Mom were very happy, and quickly sent a matchmaker to the An Mansion to settle the matter, setting the date on the 25th of the lunar October...

After threading the meat skewers, Aunt Zhou accompanied Cai Wei to the nursing homes. Before leaving, Cai Wei specifically went to the market and bought some pork, fish, eggs, dim sum, and also bought several bags of rice and flour. Yuan’er’s Grandfather drove them in a cart towards the direction of the nursing homes...

...

In the Capital, at Duke Li Guo’s Mansion

Mo Zili was lying on the couch, and to describe him as utterly bored was absolutely fitting. Because he had injured his ribs, he could only lie motionless on the couch, unable to move at all for two whole days.

When his relatives came to visit him, they merely instructed him on how to take care of himself and not to rush his recovery, which only added to his anxiety instead of soothing it, making him even more irritable. It was not easy, but once everyone had left, he fell into boredom again.

At this moment, if she were here, she would definitely talk to him about poems and verses, or play the zither for him impromptu. Hearing her graceful sound of the zither, he surely wouldn’t be as bored as he was now.

Mo Ziqi sighed, silently missing that person, when suddenly he heard a "giggle." He turned his head and saw Xiang Yun sitting not far from his sickbed at a round table, holding a book and reading. When she reached an amusing part, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Feeling his gaze, Xiang Yun coughed awkwardly and said, "Did I disturb you?"

Ever since she had made up her mind and decided, her mood had been much better than before. With a good mood, she found the interest to do other things, like reading this little book that Cai Wei handwrote for Wen’er and Wu’er to amuse herself.

Mo Zili said, "No problem!"

Xiang Yun uttered an "oh," and then lowered her head to continue reading.

Seeing her ignore him like this, Mo Zili felt a twinge of disappointment. Shouldn’t she stand up and show some concern for him, at least ask if he was thirsty or wanted some tea? But instead, she just uttered an "oh" and continued reading her book, showing none of the considerate tenderness expected of a wife.

The room was quiet again for a long time. Seeing that Xiang Yun still paid him no mind, Mo Zili grew increasingly displeased. Suddenly, he spoke up, breaking the silence in the room.

"What book are you reading that has you so engrossed?"

Xiang Yun hadn’t expected him to ask her such a question because they hardly ever spoke to each other. Even when they did, it dealt was business, and he never interfered with her matters. Closing the book, she raised her head, met his inquiring look, and said candidly, "It’s puzzles and jokes. Last time I went to the Mu Mansion, Cai Wei saw that I was in a bad mood and lent it to me to read. It’s very interesting!"

Mo Zili’s expressions flickered briefly, slightly uneasy because of the phrase ’Cai Wei saw I was in a bad mood. He naturally knew why she was upset, hence the slight displeasure in his heart dissipated.

Seeing her eyes sparkle, perhaps because she had just been enjoying her book, he couldn’t help but ask another question, "What does it say in the book?"

When it came to the contents of the book, Xiang Yun immediately perked up, excitedly saying, "It’s some riddle-like problems and some jokes that make one happy. I really don’t know how Cai Wei comes up with them, she amazes me!"

Watching her enthusiastic demeanor, Mo Zili couldn’t help but ask another question, "What joke were you reading just now that made you laugh out loud?"
