Chapter 2256: Little Bun Romance 09
However, fortunately, Shen Yao’s exceptional skills allowed her to recognize her at a glance. As a result, the two women who were bound by fate through their time-travel experiences embraced and cried profusely, even agreeing to arrange a marriage for their children.
Originally, it was a heartwarming scene between good sisters, but a disagreement arose during the meal.
The reason for the disagreement was quite simple, should they eat the meat alone, or with vegetables?
Just as the two were about to argue, Xia Ke and He Lianyu, whose marriage had been arranged by the two in private, appeared.
Upon seeing her son, Shen Yao was the first to jump over, pulling her son to show off: "Look, this is my son He Lianyu. How is he? Isn’t he handsome and gentle? Let me tell you, the men my Little Peach has her eyes on are all exceptional! Your daughter marrying my son, I guarantee she won’t suffer any grievances! So, are you satisfied with my son or not?"
Shen Yao truly lived up to her reputation as a matchmaker, praising her son extravagantly with just a few words.
Lin Yuan wasn’t to be outdone, grabbing her daughter’s hand: "Your son is excellent, but my daughter is no slouch either! My Lin Yuan’s daughter is flawless in appearance and excels in all the arts. In Dayong, there’s a line of suitors at our door! You think you can just marry my daughter? Not unless I, Lin Yuan, agree!"
Shen Yao replied, "My son is so outstanding, and your daughter is too, shouldn’t they be a perfect match made in heaven? I think you shouldn’t drag this out, quickly take back your words! While we’re still young, let’s get their matters settled, and then you can go wherever you want, North or South!"
This statement struck a chord with Lin Yuan. Since traveling North and South with Xia Zheng for so long, she realized that this continent was even larger and more beautiful than the places she had been in her previous life.
To experience the vastness of the Beirong Desert under the setting sun, to feel the warmth of the ethnic minorities in the Southern Border Forest, and of course, the unique landscapes of Xiliang and Dongling.
However, she hadn’t yet had the chance to visit Xiliang!
"I’ve heard that Xiliang is quite barren. Yet, despite all these years, your skin hasn’t turned dull! Do you have some special skincare routine? Come on, tell me about it. When I get back, I’ll study it, and it might make a fortune!"
Even after all these years, Lin Yuan’s penchant for money hasn’t changed a bit!
But it was her keen sense for business opportunities that allowed her commercial empire to grow so large.
Every woman loves to hear compliments. Shen Yao shyly touched her face, yet pretended to be indifferent: "Oh, there’s no special skincare routine. You know how bad the skincare products of this era are. Usually, I only wash my face with water and, at most, use some cold cream. Alas, naturally beautiful, there’s nothing I can do about it!"
Watching the two suddenly reconcile, Xia Ke and He Lianyu couldn’t help but twitch their mouths.
On the other side, Xia Zheng and He Lianyi shook their heads in unison, both sighing.
"Is your woman really that naturally beautiful?" Xia Zheng took a sip of beer.
"Of course!" After speaking, He Lianyi carefully glanced at Shen Yao, and in a lowered voice said: "What? She takes half an hour just to wash her face, and after washing, there’s rubbing and applying, which takes another hour. Sigh!"
What He Lianyi didn’t say was that he had to wait at least two hours to get intimate with his wife. And when Shen Yao finally got into bed, he still couldn’t touch her because she had some kind of mask on her face, needing to rest with her eyes closed, otherwise she’d get wrinkles.
What a useless mask, He Lianyi really wanted to tear that thing off!
And so, Xia Ke and He Lianyu’s marriage was thus settled. Even without Lin Yuan and Shen Yao’s verbal agreement, these two would probably have still met and fallen in love. Perhaps this is fate!
As they ate and chatted, they learned that after Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng left Dayong, they went to Beirong, where they spent months enjoying barbecue, relishing in the local mutton wine and roast lamb, so much so that they forgot all about returning home.
Suddenly, Xia Ke remembered something, asking: "Mother, you’ve been at Yundian for days, haven’t you seen the legendary Goddess of the Sea? We didn’t see her last time we came. I’ve heard so much about her on this journey; I really want to meet her!"
