Chapter 656 (1/2)

Marriage (3)

“He’ll come, we just don’t know when…”

“...” The empress dowager fell silent.

“Perhaps, he has already arrived, perhaps, he needs another year…”

“...”

“Mother, don’t worry about him! He’ll definitely come for next year’s ceremony!”

“...”

…

“Are Lanyu and the rest here?” The empress dowager let go of this subject and asked about her granddaughter, Ye Lanyu.

“She left with Seven, both of them can’t sit still. All they do is play outside, though it’s good they don’t get into trouble,” said Long Anqi with a loving smile.

“They won’t get YOU into trouble because both of them can solve any problem…” added Princess Longji, though there were many meanings to all of this.

“...”

“Are you all comfortable here?” asked the empress dowager suddenly.

“Huh? Uh… we're fine,” said Long Anqi, stunned.

“As long as you’re alright…” said the empress dowager gently.

Long Anqi was not used to this at all. She clutched Ye Chengtian’s hand nervously.

“...”

Suddenly, the atmosphere turned awkward. No one knew what to say. There was a wall between mother and daughter, and it was inappropriate for anyone else to talk about it. All they could do now was to wait for the seconds to go by!

This was still very normal and everyone was sort of used to it.

Ye Chengtian looked up at the skies while Princess Longji took out a book. Both Long Anqi and the empress dowager looked at each other while everyone else waited for them to break the silence.

However, after so long, there was still not a sound in the yard, as if there was no one.

“Is everyone gone already? Ugh, that stupid boss still isn’t here yet, did he want to amend my performances? Ah? I’m so sorry, I thought there wasn’t anyone here…”

At this moment, the lead singer walked in with furrowed brows, complaining. Her voice broke the silence so everyone’s eyes were on her.

She was the breaking point!

When the girl realised her mistake and was about to leave, the empress dowager stopped her!

“Don’t go, girl! Your singing is great, who taught you?” The empress dowager was desperate for a conversation topic.
