My Husband Is Not Easy To Mess With. - Chapter 34: Actually, There's More
Chapter 34: Actually, There’s More
Although the flawless Brother Yao had that tiny, tiny, insignificant little flaw, Du Sui-lan didn’t mind. To love him is to love all of him!
Du Sui-lan: “It’s alright, Brother Yao, even if you become a lazy bum, I still love you!”
Is that so? Thank you very much.
Nie Yao held a straight face and couldn’t help but ask, “What about the baby, will you love him too?”
“Hmm… I will strictly discipline him!”
Du Sui-lan was very confident that he would raise his and Brother Yao’s child to be diligent and hardworking, bearing burdens without complaint.
Nie Yao took a deep breath, feeling nervous for the unborn baby.
But it didn’t matter. As long as he could hold back, the baby wouldn’t come home early to be oppressed.
Nie Yao lifted his future wife higher, “Actually, I think it’s quite good without a baby at home. You don’t have to suffer for me.”
“No, I don’t think it’s suffering.”
Du Sui-lan rubbed his face against Nie Yao’s before sliding down. The two walked hand-in-hand through the palace.
As long as he was with Brother Yao, even this filthy and disgusting Imperial Palace didn’t seem so much like a place he wanted to desecrate. Du Sui-lan smiled and plucked a perfectly blooming camellia, the pinkish-white sap staining his slender fingers.
Du Sui-lan: “Brother Yao, don’t you want a baby who looks like us?”
Nie Yao looked at the mutilated flower. He made a firm decision not to have children before the age of thirty. After retiring at thirty, he might have the energy to take care of two babies.
Nie Yao took out a handkerchief, carefully wiped his big baby’s fingers one by one, and then told him, “Didn’t I tell you, even if both parents are smart, the child born might not be extraordinarily intelligent. The child’s looks are also not guaranteed to be what you imagine.”
This wasn’t an absolute certainty. It was uncontrollable without cheating, like winning the lottery. Given the medical level of this world, there were clearly no conditions for cheating.
Nie Yao: “I ask you, if we were to have an ordinary, average baby in the future, would you still love him, cherish him, and raise him well with me?”
Could he? Du Sui-lan struggled. His small face wrinkled into a knot, “But my Daddy and my Father, and your Daddy and Father, are all very good-looking. Our baby should be as smart and beautiful as us!”
“My Father, smart?” Nie Yao was surprised.
“Hmm…”
Alright, let’s not talk about that. Du Sui-lan covered his lower abdomen, secretly warning the baby who hadn’t moved in yet: Darling, you can resemble your grandfathers and Fathers all you want, but absolutely do not take after your Paternal Grandfather~
Daddy won’t like a not-so-smart baby~
“Brother Yao, why did you suddenly decide to give me a palace?”
Not wanting his lover to notice his thoughts, Du Sui-lan asked about something else.
Regarding this. Nie Yao felt a little awkward, saying, “Actually, after being with you, I wrote to my father asking him to send my savings over. But originally, I wanted to wait a few days before discussing with you whether we should renovate my residence.”
As for the palace, he wanted to wait until the country was unified before choosing a good location to build one. Who knew a love rival would suddenly pop up!
Nie Yao: “How do you know He Gui-zhang?”
“He Gui-zhang?” Du Sui-lan thought for a moment, “Oh, him…”
Du Sui-lan didn’t take him seriously at all. He said casually, “Because you went to the border, I had to visit you often. So I thought, why not just establish a business association there and run a small business?”
His so-called small business included salt, iron, cloth, medicinal materials, and so on. This allowed him to conveniently visit Brother Yao while making a little extra money on the side.
Du Sui-lan: “When I first went, I was unfamiliar with the place, so I thought I’d grab a local person to test the waters. And I ended up grabbing He Gui-zhang. He’s quite smart, and doing business with him is relatively worry-free.” Thus, the two parties continued to cooperate until now.
It was just a small matter. Du Sui-lan didn’t think much of it.
Nie Yao paused and said, “He offered a reward of five million taels of silver, asking my people to help find you.”
“Why is he looking for me?”
“He likes you.”
“Oh.”
“He Gui-zhang likes you and is willing to pay five million just to meet you.”
“Oh. Did you agree?”
How could he agree! Nie Yao didn’t know what was wrong with him; he should be happy that his future wife was completely indifferent to his love rival. But…
“Brother Yao.” Du Sui-lan suddenly leaned in, searching for some trace on his face: “Are you jealous?”
No wonder he couldn’t wait to give him a betrothal gift. So he was jealous. Didn’t that mean Brother Yao already liked him a little!
Du Sui-lan was overjoyed. He stood on tiptoe to kiss the corner of Nie Yao’s lips and told him, “I only love you, Brother Yao. Besides you, it doesn’t matter how much others like me.”
“If you don’t like it, I can send people to raid his family.”
“Of course, exterminating his entire clan is also an option, as long as you like it, Brother Yao.”
No, he didn’t like that at all. He Gui-zhang was a decent businessman and was quite supportive of the policies he issued in Mo-shi County. He just foolishly fell for His Majesty the Emperor. A little annoying. But not deserving of death!
Nie Yao: “Lan-lan, other people’s lives are lives too. Promise me, don’t just kill people randomly, okay?”
“Even bad people can’t be killed randomly?”
“…Depends on how bad.”
“Very, very bad, the kind that causes other good families to be destroyed.”
“Uh… then kill them.”
Du Sui-lan readily agreed.
“But Brother Yao, I could get five million taels just by meeting him once. Do you really not want this money?”
“No!”
“No matter how much money, you don’t want it?”
“No!!”
“Alright then.”
Du Sui-lan shook the hands they held, his lips curling up high.
Although he had promised Nie Yao to restrain himself from killing people randomly, his inherently mischievous nature wouldn’t change. Du Sui-lan told Nie Yao with a regretful tone, “Actually, he’s not the only one looking for me. If you were willing, Brother Yao, we might quickly get tens of millions of taels.”
Tens of millions?! His words didn’t make Nie Yao regret the near-but-unreachable money; instead, he was astonished that there were so many people wanting to pursue his future wife!
His charm is too great, isn’t it? Was his future wife a succubus in his past life?
With the conversation at this point, Nie Yao finally brought himself to be cautious, carefully asking his popular partner, “Do you want to see them?”
“Hmm…” Du Sui-lan deliberately delayed. Only when he saw Nie Yao grinding his teeth did he giggle and say, “No, the person I will ever want to see is only Brother Yao!”
