~ OTHERWISE, I WILL KILL YOU ~

Today, Mu Yunyao wore a golden silk satin jacket with white fur on the neckline and cuffs, and the laying rabbit hairpin was stuck into her head. At this time, she bent her eyes and smiled, which gave the depressed and vacant residence a fresh and beautiful appearance.

Yue Wang sat across from Mu Yunyao, his eyes focused on her, and he felt that her smile was sweet to the point that it touched people’s hearts. “Yao’er, thank you very much.”

He was born in the Cold Palace. Imperial Father never mentioned his birthday, and everyone had tacitly forgotten about this matter. Even Imperial Aunt, who was afraid of touching his sore spot, had never expressed it. Thus, Yunyao was the first person to celebrate his birthday officially.

Mu Yunyao smiled as she puffed out her breath, using all her strength to struggle against the seal on the wine jar. In the end, after being tossed and turned for a long time, her face was completely red, and she was still unable to remove the seal.

“Hehe.” Yue Wang laughed lightly. Seeing Mu Yunyao’s finger was slightly red from using too much strength, he extended his hand to pick up the small jar of osmanthus wine. “Let me do it.”

Mu Yunyao placed her hands on the edge of her mouth and rubbed them vigorously. Feeling that it had warmed up a little, she withdrew it and said, “The weather today is perfect for drinking osmanthus wine. This jar of wine was brewed before the osmanthus flower fell on the Mid Autumn Festival. I don’t know how it tastes now. Fourth Master is the first to taste it.”

“Alright.”

Yue Wang removed the seal with a plop, placed it to the side, and a faint aroma of wine immediately wafted out.

Mu Yunyao was afraid that the wine hadn’t been brewed well, so she anxiously went up to the edge of the wine jar to have a look. After discovering that it tasted good, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief, “Seems like it wasn’t bad.”

Yue Wang held the wine jar in his hand when Mu Yunyao leaned over, so her hair just happened to brush past his hands, causing him to feel itchy. The fragrance of the osmanthus wine couldn’t be considered to be strong. If people were to taste it carefully, they would be able to distinguish the aroma of the osmanthus flower. However, Yue Wang found this smell particularly intoxicating.

Mu Yunyao prepared a green jade cup, and when she saw Yue Wang fill his cup, she hurriedly brought it over to take a sniff. “It so fragrant.”

Looking at her greedy appearance, Yue Wang could not help but give a pampering smile. “Then I’ll give this first cup to you. Thank you for remembering my birthday.”

“Since you are the birthday boy today, I will naturally toast you with the first cup of wine. I cannot take advantage of you like this.” Mu Yunyao raised her wine cup and touched Yue Wang’s cup. With a bright smile that was like the morning glow, she said, “To Fourth Master, I wish you good luck, good health, and a long life.”

“Alright.” Yue Wang did not continue to make any more discernment. He was afraid that he would lose his composure when he opened his mouth.

The sky is a little gloomy today, and the weather is quite cold. Combined with the desolate scene in the courtyard, it was easier for people to feel depressed. But when he looked at Mu Yunyao’s smiling appearance, he felt an infinite amount of warmth in his heart, even to the point that his chest ached.

The osmanthus wine was not robust, and its taste was exceptionally soft.

After Mu Yunyao drank a mouthful, she nodded her head gravely. “The taste is really not bad. It seems like my skills haven’t deteriorated.”

“Did Yao’er also brew osmanthus wine before this?”

Mu Yunyao paused for a moment, then nodded her head, “En, I did brew some before burying it under a flower tree. Afterwards when the tree was cut down, I couldn’t find the wine anymore.” The poisonous lady likes the wine she brews very much, and she steals a lot of it every time. She also said that the wine she brewed was exceptionally intoxicating that it could make people too drunk to think about what they don’t have. She had tried quite a number herself, but she had never been drunk before, and she hadn’t experienced the situation where the poisonous lady was so drunk that she didn’t know what to do tonight.……

“It’s such a pity.” Yue Wang helped Mu Yunyao fill her cup, and starlight flashed in his clear and cold eyes.

“With the second cup of wine, I wish Fourth Master a long journey, and the thoughts of the things have finally come to fruition.” Mu Yunyao held her wine cup and clinked it against Yue Wang’s cup once again. She raised her head and drank the wine, sighed, “It’s a pity that those wines I don’t know the taste. It can’t be found if they can’t be found. If they can’t be dug up again, they will turn into poisonous juice?”

“Yunyao, what’s the matter with you?”

Mu Yunyao raised her eyes and looked at Yue Wang’s worried expression. She put down her wine cup and laughed, “It’s nothing to worry about. I’ve just thought of some depressing things. What happened to Fourth Master’s lotus pond?”

“The construction work was not convenient in winter, so now less than half of it has been dug.”

“There’s no hurry.”

Yue looked at Mu Yunyao and felt that something seemed wrong with her, but he couldn’t tell what was exactly wrong with her: “Yunyao, are you drunk?”

“Why would I get drunk? Sweet-scented osmanthus wine is very indifferent. That is, I drink a fragrance. I still have to make longevity noodles for Fourth Masrer today, so I definitely won’t let myself get drunk.”

“Sure, you cooked noodles for me on my birthday last year, and I still remember it to this day.” During the last Lantern Festival, Yunyao’s bowl of noodles was just a coincidence, but it made his heart feel warm during the fierce winter.

Mu Yunyao pursed her lips and smiled, “Then every year I’ll cook noodles for you in this day.”

Yue Wang’s eyes suddenly brightened. He couldn’t help but stand up and walk to Mu Yunyao’s side. He half knelt down and raised his head to look at her. “Yunyao, are you serious?”

Yue Wang watched Mu Yunyao’s movements and carefully took a look at her eyes, and couldn’t help but smile. “Yunyao, you’re drunk.”

“How is this possible? I’m not drunk.” Mu Yunyao hurriedly shook her head and denied it. However, her slightly hazy eyes and the scarlet tinge in the corners of her eyes actually betrayed her.

“Alright, you’re not drunk. Then get up and help me make a bowl of longevity noodles.”

Mu Yunyao stood up, and her figure couldn’t help but sway back and forth. She shook her head and slightly calmed her expression, then walked out. But before she could even take two steps, she felt the world spinning around her, and she fell into Yue Wang’s embrace.

Yue Wang carried her in his arms. The person in his arms was soft and slender, as light as a feather. He weighed her in his hands, and compared to when the hunting ground, she was not heavier at all, “Yunyao, you should eat more.”

Mu Yunyao frowned as she propped herself up and looked up at Yue Wang. “Why?”

“Eat more, and when I hugged you, it’s softer....”

“Then other than me, who else have you hugged?” Mu Yunyao’s mind flashed with images and couldn’t help but snort, “Have you ever hugged Xu Qi?”

Yue Wang hurriedly shook his head: “No.”

“I don’t believe it.” Mu Yunyao felt a little aggrieved as if someone had snatched something very precious from her. “You’re not allowed to care about that Xu Qi. You can only like me.”

“Alright.” Yue Wang embraced Mu Yunyao and felt the warm temperature coming from her body. He felt like his heart was almost filled with honey, so how could he have the mood to think about others anymore?

“Even if… Even if I can’t marry you in the future, you can’t like others either.” Mu Yunyao lowered her eyelids. Her eyes were very dim, like a cat whose fur was wet with water and pitifully curled up into a ball.

Yue Wang trembled as he lowered his head to look at Mu Yunyao. “Yao’er …”

“Do you think I’m overbearing? I don’t care. Who told you to provoke me. Since you’ve moved my heart, there’s no reason for me to retreat alone. Even if my identity is announced to the world in the future and I can’t marry you, your wife’s seat must be left empty, leaving me alone! Otherwise, I will kill you now and spare you the trouble of being a sinner.”

Yue Wang suddenly broke out into a smile that was as strong as it ever was. “Alright, I promise you.” If Yunyao had not been drunk today, she would not have said these words in her heart out loud. Unexpectedly, people with exclusive thoughts, not only himself, but Yunyao also has feelings towards him.
