2541 Side Story 45: Bet
Time slowly trickled past, and Chu Liuyue’s baby bump could slowly be seen.
Inside the room, Chu Liuyue stood beside the window and was arranging her peach blossoms.
On the branch, there were two tiny flowers that bloomed. The pinkish-white balls were very cute.
When Yun Muchen walked in, he saw such a scene. “Oh, Little Yue’er, you seem to have the leisure—”
Before he finished speaking, he felt coldness at the back of his head as a physical gaze landed on him.
He stopped in his tracks and instantly felt uneasy.
From the corner of his eyes, he saw a tall figure walking behind the screen. That figure was rather familiar.
Yun Muchen’s eyelids twitched. Tsk, this person is so patient.
But luckily, that person seemed to be busy and did not come out.
Chu Liuyue turned around, and her lips curled up. “Senior Ah Jing, aren’t you very free too?”
Hearing her call him ‘Senior Ah Jing,’ Yun Muchen’s entire person felt uneasy.
He had a bitter expression, and his handsome appearance looked pitiful. “Hey, can we just get over this chapter?”
Chu Liuyue chuckled and did not continue putting him in a spot. “What’s the matter?”
Yun Muchen walked forward and passed her two wooden boxes. He smiled frivolously. “Nothing much. I came to give a present.”
Chu Liuyue lowered her head and casually asked, “What is it?”
Why did Yun Muchen suddenly give a present?
As if noticing her confusion, Yun Muchen raised his chin. “It’s for your children. Take a look at it.”
Chu Liuyue glanced at him in shock. “You have such a heart?”
Yun Muchen was speechless. Why does she make me sound so petty?
He glanced behind the screen, and his gaze flickered. Then, he leaned against the wall and smiled. “Of course. After all, we’ve known each other for so many years. Besides, I even helped you to guard the music score for 10,000 years. Normal people… can’t compare to our relationship, right?”
The moment he said this, Yun Muchen instantly felt his body turn cold. Then, Rong Xiu’s figure came out from behind the folding screen.
He was decked in a cotton white robe. He was tall, and his sleeves were rolled up to his arm, revealing his firm muscles.
Yun Muchen looked at him and saw that his hand was stained with some wood dust.
He raised his brows.
Rong Xiu looked over. Then, his thin lips curled up slightly in a half-smile. “The present that Senior Ah Jing gave is definitely rare and extremely precious. Thank you so much.”
Yun Muchen was stumped. Chu Liuyue’s way of addressing me is purely teasing, but Rong Xiu’s sentence… suddenly made me sound much older? Rong Xiu himself has lived for thousands of years!
Yun Muchen had a face filled with grievances. Originally, he wanted to refute him, but he thought of something and snorted. “Of course! After all, the child is Little Young Master’s. I have to dote on them like my own niece and nephew!”
Chu Liuyue glanced at him in disdain. “Since when did I have you as an elder brother?”
Yun Muchen ignored her and urged, “Quickly look! The child would definitely love it!”
Seeing his eager face, Chu Liuyue finally picked up the two wooden boxes and opened them.
When she saw the items inside, she was slightly stunned.
In the left one, an intricate dagger lay quietly.
In the right one, it was… an arrow.
The two items were intricate. At first glance, they were clearly made from superior goods with heart.
The dagger was embedded with rubies and looked beautiful.
The dagger also had complicated patterns and looked elegant.
Rong Xiu looked over and raised his brows slightly.
Yun Muchen’s lips broke into an even bigger smile as he kept asking, “How is it? How is it? Do you like it?”
Chu Liuyue stared at the two items with much difficulty. Mm, the item is good, and I like it very much, but… The person beside me might not agree.
As expected—
The next moment, she saw Rong Xiu close the two wooden boxes and return them to Yun Muchen. Then, he lightly said, “Melt it and redo it.”
Yun Muchen refused. “I’ve spent a lot of effort and time on them! Why don’t you want it?”
This is… for my two nephews!
Chu Liuyue held her forehead with a headache. What are these people thinking? The gifts Ancestor and the rest gave have already rendered me speechless, yet Yun Muchen joined in on the fun.
Rong Xiu said, “She won’t be able to use it.”
Yun Muchen leaned against the door frame and smiled frivolously. “Why won’t they use it? Emperor, I think highly of you! Look at this dagger and this arrow—boys love them the most!”
Rong Xiu glanced at him nonchalantly..
Then, on this day, everyone in the entire Fantasy Divine Palace knew that Emperor and Young Master Yun had a friendly battle.
In the end, Young Master Yun bowed down to him.
They heard that to thank the Emperor for guiding him, Young Master Yun made two intricate combs and two headbands as a gift for him overnight.
In no time, the bet regarding the twins in Goddess Yue’s stomach suddenly changed. The crowd all bet: Two daughters—it had to be two daughters!
They had already revealed it so obviously! How could it be wrong?
In the middle of the night, Yun Muchen dragged his sick body and stepped into the Third Deity’s house with reduced determination.
The Third Deity was overjoyed. Before he could wear his clothes, he stared at him with bright eyes. “Young Master Yun, what do you want to bet on? How much do you want to bet?”
Yun Muchen clenched his teeth and took out all of his assets, slamming them onto the table. “All my assets! Two sons—I bet on two sons!”
It will definitely go against what you really want!
