Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2226

Lu Sangyu sat upright in the flower hall, with a volume of "Northern Wing Law" spread out on the desk, but his eyes were fixed on the porch. When he heard her footsteps, he quickly buried his head in the book.

But he couldn't help but twist the pages of the book and asked calmly, "What delicious food did you try today? How did it taste?"

He looked too serious, and asking such questions sounded like he was reviewing the Ministry of Revenue's tax register.

Whenever this happened, Yan Xingchen would hurriedly wipe his sleeves and mouth, and count them on his fingers.

Then he pushed a cup of warm tea over and said with a smile, "Remember to bring an extra portion home next time. The money will come from my salary."

Later, Yan Xingchen always took an extra portion home. Later, she would occasionally go to Lu Sangyu's office to wait for him to finish his shift, and go to the night market with him to eat the delicious food that had to be eaten on the spot.

At this moment, they both recalled what Princess Haiyan had said to them, "Spring comes with the singing of the orioles, the murmur of the brook heralds the summer solstice... In autumn, admire the swaying shadows of the osmanthus tree, and in winter, boil snow to make tea."

What people said was so sincere and heartfelt at that time, but they didn't understand the meaning at all.

Sometimes after eating, the two of them wanted to digest their food, so they asked the coachman to drive the carriage back first.

They walked slowly homewards, facing the setting sun. Initially, they chatted mostly about business, then added their thoughts on food.

Later...they talked about the person in their hearts that they dared not touch.

Time is good medicine, it can slowly heal the wounds in one's heart. Seeing that Mrs. Lu and her stepfather were living a comfortable life, Lu Sangyu felt at ease.

In fact, ever since he ate that potato pancake, he rarely "missed" Lu in his heart.

When he thought of her, he felt a faint sense of nostalgia. As long as she was safe, he would be at peace.

Lu Sangyu also accepted her stepfather from the bottom of her heart.

Sometimes fate requires one to bow one's head. Perhaps if one bows one's head, the storm will pass. There's no need to be too persistent. The world has its own myriad of beautiful scenes to admire, Lu Sangyu said to Yan Xingchen.

Yan Xingchen listened to it and occasionally responded with a "hmm".

When it was her turn, she said, "I can't really say I have any wounds in my heart. I wasn't even close to that person, so how could I have any wounds? I don't even know his personality. His appearance is also vague to me."

After all, it was just a revolving lantern-like play that I created for myself when I was young and lonely, using a beam of light coming through the window.

In the play, she is the protagonist. Outside the play, she is not that person's relative, not even a supporting role.

It’s time to let it go! The two looked at each other and smiled faintly.

Over time, the night market stall owners all knew this greedy couple.

Wang Mazi sprinkled more pepper into the duck blood vermicelli soup, and Li Quezi added more sesame seeds to the crab shell soup. Everyone knew the couple's tastes.

No one knew that the one drinking soup from the coarse earthenware bowl and the one biting the sesame seed bun were two important ministers of the dynasty.

In the bustling atmosphere of the city, I am just an ordinary rich and idle person.

"You two have such a good relationship."

"At this age, they are still able to go out together. I guess their children must be grown up now, right?"

The couple smiled at each other when asked.

That day, Lu Sangyu quietly asked Yan Xingchen, "Tell me, at our age, is it too late to have a child?"
