Chapter 439: Chapter 438 The Moon is Round, People are Rounder_1

Naturally, both Mrs. Su-Hua and Su Lao Si had observed the affectionate spectacle between the two and were elated in their hearts.

Meanwhile, Ke’er was entrancing Jun Ruoxue the whole time, asking her about what she had seen and heard in the Capital City.

Ke’er was lively and cute, which encouraged Jun Ruoxue’s affection, taking pleasure in entertaining him.

As she started genuinely narrating interesting affairs from her time in the Capital City, Zi Lan chipped in from time to time, capturing Ke’er’s rapt attention.

Everyone was joyfully conversing, and before they knew it, the night had drawn in.

Given that it was Reunion Night, Su Pan’er brought out the mooncakes she had prepared beforehand.

These mooncakes were prepared by Aunt Xiao at Su Pan’er’s behest.

The filling contained an assortment of five nuts, pork, sweetened winter melon, black sesame, peanut, etc, resulting in luxurious, supremely fragrant mooncakes.

With a thin crust and ample filling, they were indeed delicious.

"Tonight is the fifteenth night of the eighth Lunar month – The Reunion Night of the full moon. Let’s share these mooncakes and enjoy the deliciousness of the Mid-Autumn festival."

Saying so with glee, Su Pan’er began to slice the mooncakes into small triangular pieces.

She quickly offered a piece to Xue’er, "Everyone, please dig in. After we finish these mooncakes, I have an exciting announcement to share."

"Sister Pan’er, what’s this great news? You shouldn’t keep us suspenseful, come on, spill it."

Upon receiving the mooncake, Jun Ruoxue couldn’t resist asking with curiosity gleaming in her eyes.

"First, let’s eat. I’ll tell you after we finish."

Su Pan’er teased, taking a small bite from the corner of her mooncake piece.

They were already full from the barbecue, so everyone took just a small piece of mooncake and ate a couple of symbolic bites.

It was a rare occasion for Jun Ruoxue to eat to heart’s content, upon seeing the mooncakes, she admitted defeat and couldn’t eat any more.

"Sister Pan’er, can you stop this suspense right now, and speak up already? What’s the announcement?"

Seeing everyone brimming with curiosity, Su Pan’er finally gave in and turned towards Qin Yi, chuckling.

"Why don’t you do the honors?"

After swallowing the last bite of mooncake, Qin Yi grinned at Su Pan’er, "So here’s the thing. Today, Great General Ye informed me that my new job assignment has been confirmed. I am to become the County Magistrate of Changze County."

"Ah! You’re going to be the County Magistrate?"

Mrs. Su-Hua was startled momentarily but quickly rejoiced, "Oh, my! This indeed is something to celebrate! Oh! Why didn’t we announce this during the daytime ..."

"It’s already been announced, but I presume the ladies from our side were kept unaware."

Qin Yi radiated with excitement, "Great General Ye announced it in front of everyone. I believe everyone must have heard the news by now."

At the revelation of this news, their merriment skyrocketed leading to a cascade of congratulations from everyone.

Even though Su Pan’er had heard of this earlier from Qin Yi, she couldn’t help but be overjoyed from the bottom of her heart upon hearing it again.

Su Lao Si brought up another matter, "Incredible news indeed, but when will you be taking up your new post?"

"I’ll assume my duties at the beginning of September. Given the short distance from here to Changze County, a journey of two to three days will suffice, time is still on our side..."

Upon mentioning this matter, Qin Yi’s smile slightly faded.

Having been excited for a while, Mrs. Su-Hua suddenly remembered something.

"You’ll be assuming the role at the beginning of September? But Pan’er is pregnant, it’s not suitable for her to undertake such a long journey!"

Her statement hit the nail on the head, evoking silence among everyone.

Today was the fifteenth day of the eighth Lunar month, just half a month remained until the beginning of September.

The little one in Su Pan’er’s womb was not yet three months old, given the delicate early stages of the pregnancy, no one dared to permit her to accompany Qin Yi to Changze County.

"I’ve made up my mind. I am going to stay at home and focus on pregnancy health, letting Uncle Xiao and his family assist at Changze."

Upon mentioning this, Su Pan’er appeared extraordinarily composed, "Additionally, if anyone from the Su Family or Qin Family wishes to accompany us, a few can be selected. If they don’t wish to, that’s also perfectly fine."

The appointment of Qin Yi was not a matter of one or two days, but the little bean sprout in her belly was of utmost importance. Su Pan’er naturally understood what was more significant.

Everyone remained silent.

After half a day’s idle talk, they each returned to their rooms to sleep.

Su Pan’er stood at the window, looking at the mountains outside.

The main building of this new residence was a three-story structure, with an additional small top floor.

The weather had already turned chilly lately, the wind blowing through the window was strong, blowing away the heat from Su Pan’er’s body.

"Why don’t you rest yet? The wind is quite strong. Watch out not to catch a chill."

Qin Yi came in carrying a basin of water.

Upon seeing her standing by the window, he hurriedly rushed to close it, pulling her to sit on the bed.

"What are you thinking?"

There was curiosity in Qin Yi’s eyes.

"I’m not thinking about anything."

Su Pan’er naturally didn’t want to share her worries with him, instinctively turning her head to the side.

Amusing Qin Yi into laughter, he brought the hot water, wrung out a hot towel and handed it to her: "You’re not worrying that I might misbehave when I am away, are you?"

Su Pan’er took the towel: "Would you?"

Her directness surprised Qin Yi but then realized that it made her seem more real.

"Fool! What’s going on in that little head of yours!"

Qin Yi didn’t give a definitive answer, instead, he shook his head with a smile, playfully pinching her nose: "If you have such chaotic thoughts again, as your husband, I’ll have to punish you. Do you understand?"

"I don’t understand! You haven’t given me an answer yet!"

Su Pan’er was serious, wishing she could pry open his mouth to extract a definitive answer.

"The answer? I’ve already given it to you! Think about it yourself!"

He washed her towel clean and then began to undress Su Pan’er, intending to wash her feet again.

However, Su Pan’er stubbornly curled her feet, refusing to let him undress her.

"Be good Pan’er, if you catch a chill this late, it’ll be bad for you. Remember, all types of medicine carry some toxic components, taking too much is not good for the baby."

Qin gently consoled her.

Baby, baby, baby!

The baby was still a little sprout in her belly, always being mentioned. He wasn’t tired of saying it but she was tired of hearing it!

Although she wasn’t happy in her heart, Su Pan’er knew it wasn’t the time to be capricious, so she obediently stretched out her foot, allowing Qin Yi to thoroughly clean it, following which he massaged the acupoints on the soles of her feet before drying them.

Su Pan’er didn’t speak, as she curled up into the quilt.

She was determined if he didn’t speak up, she’d confront him tonight!

Looking at the childish Su Pan’er, Qin Yi helplessly shook his head. Was his usual performance not convincing enough?

Did he really have to spell it out? Did she genuinely distrust him that much?

If she didn’t trust what he was saying, then he might as well let his actions do the talking!

After he got into bed and saw Su Pan’er curled up close to the wall, leaving a large space open, he didn’t mind, undressed, and laid down.

But just as he reached to pull up a corner of the quilt, Su Pan’er pulled it away.

Qin Yi raised his eyebrows and pulled again, Su Pan’er yanked it back again.

After several rounds of struggle, Qin Yi simply stretched out his long arms and legs, wrapping both her and the quilt into his arms, tightly holding them, no matter how much the person in the quilt struggled she couldn’t escape his embrace.
