Chapter 728: Chapter 729: We’ll Settle This Account Later_1

An Jing was quite irritated, "Even if I don’t greet you, you would still shamelessly make yourself at home here, feeling particularly comfortable."

Gong Juechen said, "Although what you’re saying is correct, out of courtesy, you should still greet me."

An Jing said, "I might offer some courtesy to others, but with you, there’s no need. The more polite I am to you, the more you overstep your boundaries."

Gong Juechen’s smile was full of ambiguity, "I knew it, Jingjing, you understand me best~"

An Jing was irritated again, "You’d better not let my husband hear that, or he will definitely take care of you."

Gong Juechen gestured with his chin for An Jing to look behind her and jeered, "It’s too late, Changyi has already heard, and I only have one request—spare my face when you hit me."

An Jing: "..."

Others: "..."

Xiao Changyi didn’t even glance at Gong Juechen, his face expressionless, as he pulled An Jing back to the kitchen to get busy. Today was his child’s first birthday, a joyous occasion, and he would remember Gong Juechen’s flirtation with his wife, planning to, sometime later, settle the score with Gong Juechen thoroughly!

"Changyi, are you planning on settling the score with me in the future? Don’t, please settle this account today, because I don’t want to spend every day anxious, worrying you’ll scheme against me and smash my face!" Gong Juechen howled in Xiao Changyi’s direction, but Xiao Changyi completely ignored him, continuing to hold An Jing’s hand and head into the kitchen.

Xiao Changyi’s lack of response made Gong Juechen feel bored.

Noticing an unfamiliar old man in the courtyard out of the corner of his eye, Gong Juechen immediately approached with a wicked charm, "Old man, where are you from? I’ve never seen you here before."

Emperor Xiyun frowned more deeply upon a closer look at Gong Juechen’s enchanting face but didn’t speak.

Wang Youbao kindly introduced, "Doctor Gong, this is Changyi’s adoptive father—Master Yu."

"So, you’re Changyi’s adoptive father, no wonder you’re here today. But Changyi, with his manner, actually has an adoptive father, hahaha, I thought he didn’t befriend anyone, hahaha..." Gong Juechen looked gleefully amused.

Seeing Gong Juechen’s lack of propriety, Emperor Xiyun’s frown deepened as he reprimanded, "What do you mean ’that manner’ of my Yi Er? My Yi Er is much better than you! Look at yourself, what do you look like!"

However, Gong Juechen nodded in agreement, "I also think Changyi is much better than me. He has a wife, gets to hold his wife every night, how can he not be much better? Poor me, warming the bed alone every night, sleeping till dawn, alone. Not like Changyi, who can sleep with Jingjing in whatever position is desired at night, as long as he has the stamina, he can battle with Jingjing all night without sleeping."

Emperor Xiyun: "..."

Seeing Emperor Xiyun’s flabbergasted expression, Wang Youbao cleared his throat and kindly said, "Master Yu, he’s this brazen, says whatever comes to mind; don’t take him seriously."

Pausing, Wang Youbao added, "Even if you do take it seriously, he’s not going to change."

Emperor Xiyun: "..."

During a child’s first birthday here, there is a ’Zhuazhou’ ceremony which is believed to predict a child’s future.

The ’Zhuazhou’ ceremony is conducted before the midday meal.

An Jing and Xiao Changyi had already set up a large table beside the bed in the inner room, covered with items such as brushes, ink, paper, inkstone, seal, abacus, Copper Coin, Silver, Gold, Jade, and Wooden Sword.

And there were four of each item, in case the child wanted to grab any one of them.
