Chapter 803: Chapter 171: Judging by Appearances

Zhang Gengshan looked so strange because Mo Heng had inquired about Zhang Yan and had shown no goodwill toward him. However, Zhang Yan later left with the Wang Ting brothers and did not return for several years, so Mo Heng never mentioned it again.

Now, Zhang Yan had returned and had even taken the initiative to come to him. Zhang Gengshan felt that he would be his young master’s next enemy. He had once harbored intentions toward his wife in the past.

Upon hearing this, Pei Qin’s eyes lit up, and she exclaimed happily, "Please, invite him in!" Little Radish Wang is back!

Zhang Gengshan’s expression revealed a hint of peculiarity. His wife was actually so happy to hear that Zhang Yan had arrived? Still, he responded and went to invite Zhang Yan inside.

Zhang Yan still looked the same, with a pale complexion and bright red lips. He wore a dark blue robe embroidered with precious patterns all over, his black hair tied up high with a white jade crown, making his handsome face appear more composed and restrained.

Following Zhang Gengshan inside, he saw Pei Qin standing in the corridor. Upon seeing him, he couldn’t help but smile and stepped forward. Zhang Yan paused mid-step, slightly dazed. When he had come, his heart could not suppress the joyful anticipation that filled him, even though he had hesitated initially. Upon meeting again, his feelings only grew stronger.

If he had been firm in his thoughts back then, perhaps now their relationship wouldn’t feel like a lifetime apart but rather seamlessly close. That bright, expectant smile made his heart tremble a few times as he softly called out, "Pei Qin..."

But Pei Qin was looking straight behind him, seeing two servants carrying chests and brocade boxes, followed by a handsome young man. She sighed, "Little Radish Wang... couldn’t have grown up so suddenly, could he?"

Zhang Yan’s expression stiffened slightly.

Wang Nuo smiled awkwardly in response, "Madam! Brother Ting hasn’t come back."

Pei Qin immediately showed a look of disappointment.

Zhang Yan’s expression darkened a bit, "It’s been several years since we’ve met, yet you seem hardly changed." Still straightforward with him.

"Young Master Zhang why have you come? Please come inside and have a seat!" Pei Qin gestured with her hand.

Zhang Yan pursed his lips and entered the house.

Pei Qin turned to look at Wang Nuo, "All grown up into a young man now! Where is that Little Radish?"

Wang Nuo followed inside. As he walked, he replied, "I’ve come back this time to participate in next year’s spring examinations. Brother Ting was also supposed to come back, but he went out to play with his skateboard, caught a cold, and couldn’t travel long distances, so he didn’t make it back."

"It’s been a few years since we’ve parted, and I’ve really missed that Little Radish!" Pei Qin said.

Wang Nuo chuckled, "Brother Ting misses you too, Madam. He cried when he couldn’t come back this time and asked me to bring a bunch of things for you."

So, he and Zhang Yan had come to deliver things.

Pei Qin asked with interest, "What fun things have you brought?"

Wang Nuo quickly had the servants at the door bring over the chests and brocade boxes to open them, "These boxes are filled with treats from Jiangnan, this bag contains dried seafood, and inside this chest are all items prepared by Brother Ting."

There was a seal for Pei Qin which he had carved himself; a yellow jade grasshopper, also a practice piece; a shell wind chime; a huge conch shell; several uniquely shaped and brilliantly colored sea shells; a small bag of pearls of various sizes; a Coral Pendant; a pair of coral bracelets; and some other miscellaneous items.

"These pearls, none are even in size and shape, truly not fit for sale, but Brother Ting collected them himself, and the same with these sea shells, which he brought to give to you, Madam. This Coral Pendant is for you, Madam, and the coral bracelets are for Miss Jiujiu. It seems they were all polished by Brother Ting himself," Wang Nuo explained as he handed them out.

Pei Qian had never seen such beautiful sea shells and conches before and was also drawn in, picking them up for a look, "Is this a sea shell? It’s so huge!?"

Jiujiu also looked on curiously, her large dark eyes wide open.

Wang Nuo, seeing her cute, rosy appearance, smiled and handed her the coral bracelet.

"I want that one!" Jiujiu pointed to the biggest sea shell.

Pei Qian and Jiujiu had indeed never seen such sea shells before. Pei Qin, smiling, handed it to her, and told Wang Nuo, "Little Radish really is thoughtful! How has he been these past few years?" Previously, it had been so rushed, only time to send her a letter.

"He has matured quite a bit, his studies have significantly improved. He’s gotten especially good at skateboarding!" Wang Nuo said, barely suppressing a laugh, thinking of his younger brother acting all grown-up and mature.

Pei Qin laughed heartily, overjoyed.

Wang Nuo then took out a letter from Wang Ting for her.

After reading the letter, Pei Qin laughed even louder, "This rascal has grown up! Just from the letter, you can tell he’s trying to act like a little adult, just pretending!"
