Chapter 161 - 161: 159: Struggle, Chaotic Flowers Gradually Obscuring the Vision (Part 1)
Unconsciously, Liu Sisi took two steps back to increase the distance between them, then raised her head and squinted at him closely.
He was still as gentle and refined as usual, handsome and elegant. Only his face was overly dreamy, while his beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with affection at the moment.
As if waiting for her answer, he leaned forward slightly, his gaze firmly locked on her.
Liu Sisi suddenly smiled gently and shook her head.
“What’s the point of having all those material things? Brother Nan, you’re missing the point.”
“In this world, everything is the same, gold and silver jewels dazzle the eyes, silk fabrics keep warmth, but too much is also a bad thing. There are too many people pursuing wealth and honor, yet behind it, there is endless decay unseen. As for luxury carriages and horses, and numerous servants, these are all external things. It’s nice to have them as icing on the cake, but fine without them as well.”
“Brother Nan, you’re obsessed, and that’s not good.”
Liu Sisi looked up at him, her eyes calm as if they were vast rivers, making Nan Tianzong suddenly feel so insignificant.
For the first time, his smile gradually faded, and he became silent.
“Sisi, it turns out you see things clearer than I do. Good, very good! Indeed, it’s not bad.”
Then, the two walked on in silence.
They were close to each other, yet they seemed to be on opposite ends of the world. It was as if an invisible thread separated the two.
From time to time, passersby walked past the two of them, hurriedly rushing from one end to the other, then hurriedly passing by them again.
It wasn’t until after the bookstore that Liu Sisi said her goodbyes and left.
“Brother Nan, Sisi has never been an ambitious person. What I hope for and desire is simply to build a home by myself using my own hands. Other than that, I’m not interested. It’s late now, so I’ll go back first. You should take care as well!”
After saying that, she didn’t wait for a response and walked away.
Nan Tianzong opened his mouth as if to call out to her, but in the end, nothing came out.
On her way back, Liu Sisi hitched a ride on a bull-cart.
She also secretly pondered over the meaning behind Nan Tianzong’s sudden question today.
As they passed an occasional villager along the way, she could see people pointing at her. With Sister Guihua having given her a heads-up earlier, Liu Sisi brushed off these people’s gossip with an indifferent glance.
The gossipers who were originally talking dispersed quickly upon being swept by Liu Sisi’s sharp gaze.
She didn’t stop and continued towards her home.
Old Man Li really stopped at nothing! Being targeted by such a person was really troublesome.
However, just as she reached the small path at the entrance of the village, she saw Di Yelei standing there with a livid face and eyes that seemed to spit fire at her, as if he were a jealous husband!
“Where did you go? Who allowed you to go out?”
His face was raging with anger, as if at any moment he would leap forward to tear her apart!
Di Yelei’s gaze was terrifying, causing Liu Sisi to shudder involuntarily.
After a moment, however, she forced herself to straighten up.
“Why are you yelling? I naturally went to the small town. I haven’t gone to work for a few days, so I had to tell people about it, right?”
This was really annoying!
She wasn’t his prisoner, so why was he screaming at her?
“No! I’ve told you before, you are not allowed to see him again! Didn’t you hear me? And now you dare to sneak out behind my back, how dare you!”
Di Yelei was furious!
The gossiping women outside were causing him great anxiety with their wild talk.
Nan Tianzong is obviously a problem, and this cursed girl actually went to the small town when he wasn’t paying attention!
As soon as he got home and discovered she wasn’t there, his heart leaped into his throat!
If anything happened to Sisi, it would be too late even for tears!
He couldn’t wait to rush to the small town and catch this wicked girl! But he couldn’t act rashly! At least not until Zuo Xingyu came back with the investigation results. He couldn’t alert the enemy to their suspicions!
But how to stop this unsuspecting kitten from walking into the enemy’s trap?
“Why? Just because you say no, I can’t go? Who are you to me? Why should I listen to you?”
See him?
Who was he referring to? Liu Sisi blinked her eyes, was it Nan Tianzong?
Soon, she got angry too!
What, are they treating her like an ordinary woman, trying to confine her to the backyard?
“Because I am your husband! I said you can’t go, so you can’t go!”
Di Yelei grabbed Liu Sisi’s hand and pulled her forcefully towards him.
After a brief thought, he still believed that he must stop this little kitten from going to the bookstore!
Extraordinary measures must be taken in extraordinary times.
It’s time to handle this stubborn kitten!
Liu Sisi seemed weak on the outside, but she wouldn’t stand for even a speck of dust in her eyes.
“What if you are my husband? You can’t limit my freedom! I am a thinking person, not your possession! I want to see whomever I want… Ah! Di Yelei, let go of me! Let go!”
No longer wanting to hear her voice, Di Yelei took the opportunity to hug her tight: “Let go —”
She frowned deeply, both of her hands pushing against him, resisting his embrace. He raised his eyes, staring at her blushing cheeks.
“After that, if you still dare to talk nonsense, this will be your punishment!”
She covered her lips, both shy and angry, glaring at him and finally breaking free from his embrace!
Anger caused two tears to hang on the edge of her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
“You, Di Yelei, you bastard! Mark my words, you can’t confine me at home! I won’t submit to your tyranny!”
His sword-like eyebrows raised!
“Oh? Do you want to submit to my tyranny? Or are you still unsatisfied?”
A trace of a teasing smile at the corner of his mouth, his arms crossed, he calmly stared at the kitten in front of him, patiently watching her step by step fall into the trap he had laid.
“Di Yelei, you bastard, let me go!”
Liu Sisi’s anger swelled in her chest, her cheeks flushed red, her chest heaving, clearly provoked to the extreme!
“Di Yelei let me tell you, I want to go out and work! I don’t want to be a caged flower, I…Ah! What are you doing? Let me down! Di Yelei…”
