I've been bullied and humiliated for thirteen years; when I wake up, I'll be bloodthirsty.

Chapter 746 What a huge living person!

Lu Yangyang's cheeks flushed from his clear and gentle voice. She thought to herself, rather shamelessly, how to be angry in a cool way in front of such a face?

A few seconds later, Lu Yangyang gave up resisting. Well, it's hard for anyone to get angry at a face like that.

Lu Yangyang let out a small sigh.

Zong Que gathered her long hair with his fingertips, tied a knot, and then took a gold hairpin and inserted it into her hair.

A long stream of water cascaded down her ear, bringing a slight coolness. Lu Yangyang's vision was momentarily blurred by a golden light. She blinked and asked, "Is it beautiful?"

Without waiting for Zong Que's reply, she climbed off him and ran to the dressing table mirror, where she immediately saw the gorgeous gold hairpin reflected in the bronze mirror.

Layers of petals were adorned with round pearls of the same size. Lu Yangyang curiously leaned closer to the mirror, wanting to see more clearly, but when her gaze fell on the flowers, she suddenly paused.

She counted them as if possessed, and there were exactly seventeen, no more and no less.

Lu Yangyang turned her head and met Zong Que's gaze.

Zong Que looked at her with a smile, "Happy birthday, Yangyang."

All of Lu Yangyang's guesses came true at this moment. He had come specifically to see her and had even remembered her birthday, bringing her a gift.

Just like before, ever since she met him, he would always give her gifts on various holidays. In the past, they were all kinds of exquisite masks. After she came of age, they became all kinds of hairpins and hair ornaments. These were things that young girls would like, but she rarely used them in her daily life. Most of the time, she would just tie her hair up simply with a hairband for convenience. But he would always carefully prepare all kinds of beautiful jewelry for her.

Lu Yangyang stared intently at Zong Que.

Zong Que stood up and walked towards her with steady steps. He stood in front of her, lowered his eyes and smiled at her, "I've imagined this scene many times before. This is the first time I can walk up to you so easily."

From the moment his legs were injured and he could no longer get up, countless days and nights he fantasized about how to walk up to her, see her joy at receiving his gift, and how he could walk lightly towards her when she was so close.

So that's what it feels like.

It turned out to be just a few steps away.

"Then you must take your medicine on time, avoid getting injured, and live to be a hundred years old, so that you can come to me like this every year after year." Lu Yangyang looked up at him.

Zong Que lowered his head slightly to meet her gaze. "Okay."

Lu Yangyang leaned over and quickly kissed him lightly on the lips. "I'm going to eat now. I still have so many things to do. Oh, right, since you're here, come with me to the market. I passed by yesterday and everyone thought I was seeing things. It's almost more lively than Jiangnan. I was just thinking about farming. I should have Zhiyi open Zhenyanfang here too. Maybe it would be popular!"

As Lu Yangyang was about to leave, Zong Que grabbed her hand, "Didn't you say you'd take me with you?"

Lu Yangyang blushed, "I haven't washed up yet!"

Then she quickly let go of his hand and ran into the bathroom. How embarrassing! She hadn't even washed up before spending half the morning kissing and hugging him. And she had drunk so much alcohol last night!

Lu Yangyang splashed a handful of cold water on her flushed face. Is this what Aunt Jing and the others meant when they said that being in love makes people stupid?

Lu Yangyang shook her head, looked up at herself in the mirror, and secretly pressed her upturned lips down with her finger.

After dinner, because she was going out, Lu Yangyang changed her clothes and asked Hongyu to help her comb her hair beautifully and put on the hair ornament. She looked quite like a noble lady from the capital.

However, her dignified and noble demeanor only lasted until the front door before it completely crumbled.

Jing Chao happened to return from outside, leading a brown-red horse. The horse galloped happily to Lu Yangyang and nuzzled her.

Lu Yangyang stared in disbelief at the reddish-brown horse, "Little Jujube!"

It turned out to be the little horse that Yan Yue had given her when she first went to the capital!

Lu Yangyang excitedly stroked Xiaozao's head. Her connection with Xiaozao was both deep and shallow. Deep because it was her first horse, holding immense significance for her; shallow because ever since acquiring Xiaozao, she had been constantly busy, so much so that Xiaozao spent most of its time in Zong Que's villa next to the Sheng Guogong Mansion. Later, when she left the capital, she naturally couldn't take it with her, and the time she spent with it was far too short. She hadn't even had a chance to give it a proper name, simply calling it Xiaozao because of its reddish-brown color—a name that, compared to its current majestic appearance, was hardly impressive.

Lu Yangyang asked Jing Chao with surprise, "How did Xiaozao end up in the Northwest?"

Jing Chao first greeted Zong Que and replied, "You sent it over not long after you left the capital, and now it has finally returned to its rightful owner."

Lu Yangyang stroked the jujube with great affection, then looked down at her very elegant dress. Oh well, she couldn't ride a horse again.

Zong Que laughed at her, "Why don't you go back and change your clothes?"

Lu Yangyang reluctantly patted Xiaozao's head: "Never mind, we're going to town today, and riding a horse isn't that convenient. Let's take a carriage instead."

"Little Zao, I'll come play with you again tomorrow," Lu Yangyang coaxed softly.

This made Zong Que and Jing Chao burst out laughing.

Lu Yangyang handed the jujube to Jing Chao again, saying, "I'm entrusting our jujube to you."

"Don't worry, young lady." Jing Chao took the reins and led Xiao Zao away.

Lu Yangyang got into the car with Zong Que, and only then did she have time to chat with him about what had happened in the past six months. "I really didn't expect Aunt Jing to be such an interesting person. You don't know, when we saw those thousands of kilograms of grain in the field, we were all dumbfounded. When I was a child in the village, if an acre of land could yield two hundred kilograms of grain, the village chief would be all smiles. If he knew that there was such a thing as grain that could produce two thousand kilograms, he would be ecstatic!"

"And there are also the new pills that my aunt taught us to make. You've come at just the right time. I brought all the finished pills with me. I was just thinking about how to have someone send them to you!"

"Oh, right, I also took on an apprentice. I asked Brother Jing to take him to the slaughterhouse. If we happen to pass by later, we can drop by and see him."

Lu Yangyang chattered on and on with him, then suddenly remembered something, "Huh? Where's Pei Ji?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zong Que chuckled softly.

A hand knocked on the carriage door, then Pei Ji's cold, almost lifeless face appeared. "Here I am."

Lu Yangyang: "..."

It's such a big, living person!
