Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

“Sister Nianchu, I heard you really like Song’s Fried Chicken, so I specially had it bought for you. It will have a unique flavor when you eat it while watching the play later.”

Luo Huaili smiled warmly and considerately poured Yun Nianchu a cup of tea, then took out some food he had bought earlier from his attendant.

"Today's show is going to be good. I heard it will last for an hour. Besides Song's Fried Chicken, I also bought some desserts and fruits. I don't know which kind you like, so I bought them all."

Yun Nianchu looked at the fried chicken and various snacks on the table, her eyes filled with surprise and guilt.

"Young Master Luo, you've gone to too much trouble. I... I didn't prepare anything."

"Since I invited you to watch the play with me, you don't need to prepare anything."

Luo Huaili smiled faintly and said, "Didn't we talk about this yesterday? We've known each other since we were little, so don't be so formal with me. If you don't want to call me brother, just call me by my name."

I know this suggestion from the elders came as a surprise. Don't feel awkward; just think of it as coming to see a play with me.

The two families have such a good relationship, we should visit each other more often. Yesterday's suggestion was just a spur-of-the-moment idea from the elders, we shouldn't let it make things awkward.

Yun Nianchu looked at Luo Huaili in front of her and was secretly surprised. In fact, she remembered the scene of playing with Luo Huaili when she was a child.

Over the years, Luo Huaili had always been the same easily angered boy in her mind. She never expected that after so long without contact, Luo Huaili would be completely different from what she remembered and would have matured a lot.

I recalled that I had recently heard the young lady praise the third young master of the Duke of Luo's mansion, saying that he was handsome and upright. I suddenly realized that they had all grown up and were different from when they were children.

"Thank you very much. I like all the things you bought."

When Yun Nian first saw Luo Huaili so composed, she felt less reserved. Then she heard him recount the times they used to fight when they were children, and how he had made her cry and had been severely reprimanded by Madam Luo.

As childhood memories gradually surfaced, Yun Nianchu couldn't help but laugh out loud. The initial awkwardness disappeared, and she gradually became familiar with the place.

When Yun Chengze arrived, he saw the two chatting happily.

Yun Nianchu's eyes and brows were full of smiles, her slender white hands covering her lips, but she was already laughing heartily.

Her bright and joyful appearance seemed particularly irritating to him.

She really did go out with Luo Huaili to meet...

“I also remember when you fell into the pond when you were little, but if I hadn’t gone to call for help, you don’t know how long you would have been trapped inside.”

As Yun Nianchu recalled her childhood, she found it increasingly interesting. In fact, not only had she and Luo Huaili known each other since childhood, but Ruozhen had also played with them when they were young.

They had quite a few playmates when they were young, and they were very happy with them.

But as they grew older, the boys had to go to school and practice martial arts, while the girls had to learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and needlework. With the separation of men and women, their contact with each other became less frequent.

Just as they were chatting and laughing, they suddenly heard an unexpected voice.

"What are you talking about? You seem to be having a lot of fun."

Yun Nianchu turned her gaze and saw Yun Chengze.

The man had an exceptionally good bone structure, with deep-set features and handsome face. At this moment, his dark eyes were like a deep pool, revealing little emotion, as if he had just appeared here by chance.

"Cousin, what brings you here?"

Yun Nianchu's heart skipped a beat unconsciously, and she felt a strange sensation in her heart.

Knowing my cousin's personality, he would never come to a place like this. How could he happen to be here today?

"Young Master Yun, are you here to watch the show too?"

Luo Huaili felt a sense of unease, sensing that something was amiss. Yesterday, when they were having dinner at the Song family's house, they had already mentioned that they would be coming to see the play today.

Logically speaking, Yun Chengze should have avoided suspicion, but he came anyway. Could it be that he was worried that Yun Chengze would bully Nianchu?

"Hmm," Yun Chengze responded, but his gaze fell on Yun Nianchu.

He noticed that the girl glanced at him briefly at first, then looked away, seemingly indifferent to him.

His throat tightened; she had never been so cold to him before.

Not far from the three of them, Song Ruozhen and Song Jingshen were eating sunflower seeds and watching the commotion.

Why did Yun Chengze suddenly come here at this time?

Looking at the lively scene before him, Song Jingshen realized that the development of the situation seemed to be somewhat different from what he had imagined. He had originally thought that Yun Nianchu and Luo Huaili might actually become a couple, seeing them chatting happily.

Now, another one has suddenly appeared.

Song Ruozhen was not surprised at all. She and Song Jingshen had just chosen a shop nearby and made some arrangements before heading back. However, they discovered that the opera house was right there, so they decided to come in and take a look.

Although tickets are hard to come by, who is Song Jingshen?

In the capital, Song Jingshen could definitely get the best of everything, from food and drink to clothing.

Therefore, the two entered smoothly and found a very suitable spot to watch the excitement.

"Fifth Sister, is what Madam Yun said true? The relationship between Yun Chengze and Nianchu is unusual." Song Jingshen raised an eyebrow, with a hint of amusement.

Song Ruozhen looked at him questioningly, "Why do you say that?"

"Who am I, your fourth brother? I've seen countless people, and I have some discernment. Besides, we're all men. Although Yun Chengze didn't say anything on the surface, I could still tell."

Song Jingshen raised an eyebrow smugly, "However, Yun Chengze's personality is different from ours; he's also a bit of a taciturn person."

Song Ruozhen nodded. "Aunt Zhang has been raising him like a son and has been arranging his marriage. He's too preoccupied with this, so I'm afraid he'll find it hard to talk about it."

"Now that you mention it, I understand. Aunt Zhang has indeed dealt with this kind of thing before." Song Jingshen suddenly realized, "No wonder he didn't dare to say it."

Song Ruozhen asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Just as Song Jingshen was about to speak, another girl suddenly appeared and exclaimed, "What a wonderful day!"

Song Ruozhen turned her gaze and saw a girl she had never met before appear.

"Young Master Yun, you're really here!"

Huang Shiting's eyes were full of surprise. "I thought it looked like you when I was outside, but I wasn't sure, so I came in to check. I didn't expect it to really be you!"

Yun Chengze was also surprised to see Huang Shiting appear. He nodded politely, but his attitude was somewhat distant: "Miss Huang, is there something you need from me?"

Huang Shiting shook her head, somewhat embarrassed, "No, I just happened to see you. I didn't expect Young Master Yun to also enjoy watching the show. Why don't we join him?"

Yun Nianchu looked at the girl in front of her, who was wearing a light yellow dress, with lively eyebrows and eyes, and a pair of bright, watery eyes looking at Yun Chengze.

She was very familiar with that look in his eyes, because she had always looked at her cousin with the same unwavering gaze.

Unfortunately, her cousin had no feelings for her at all.

It seems that if my cousin could be with Miss Huang, it would be a good match.

"Since you've run into each other so coincidentally, and your cousin is here to watch the show, why don't you find a place to sit?" Yun Nianchu said.
