Chapter 126 - 124. Drunk Talk I (1/2)
Third person POV
( If there is ” * ” symbol, it means they were talking in dialect. And Meiyun can't understand their dialect.)
Naran: ” *Hhmm, so this is the woman you are talking about.*”
Di Shang: ” * Yes mother.*”
Meiyun kowtowed and greeted Naran.
Meiyun: ” Greetings to Madam Di.”
Naran: ” * Damn~ She is pretty and got some manners.*”
Di Shang: ” *Yes she is.*”
Naran raised her eyebrows in interest. Her feelings of getting them married increased. Meiyun nervously sat beside Di Shang, it felt like she was attending parents meeting. Seeing how nervous she was, Di Shang held her hand and gently caressed the back of her hand with his thumb.
Naran: ” * What happened?*”
Naran softly brushed Meiyun's cut that was beside her eyes.
Di Shang: ” My mother asked what happened.”
Meiyun: ” A-ah, this is only a small injury during a fight. I deeply apologize if this scar made you unpleasant.”
Meiyun wanted to kowtow again but was halted by Naran.
Naran: ” * What did you have to be sorry about? That scar means that you are a great fighter and an independent woman. I like you, little girl~*”
Di Shang: ” My mother said that you don't have to apologize because that scar means that you are a strong and independent woman.”
Naran: ” * Why didn't you translate the I like you, little girl?*”
Di Shang: ” *Mother, then why don't you just talk without dialect?*”
Naran: ” *I don't want to. Oh! Could you go get us our family's liquor?*”
Di Shang: ” * I don't mind but why don't mother just call the servant?*”
Naran: ” * I want you to go and I want to have a chat with her.*”
Di Shang: ” *Fine, but please don't say anything unnecessary to her.*”
Naran: ” *Aiya~ My son is so protective even to his own mother~*”
Di Shang ignored her teasing, he looked at Meiyun and patted her head.
Di Shang: ” I will go out for a while. Don't worry, my mother won't hurt you.”
Meiyun: ” E-en.”
Meiyun: ' Why does it feels like he is treating me like his girlfriend?'
Meiyun smiled at him and watched him left the room.
Naran: ” So~ Are you single?”
Meiyun: ” Eh? A-ah, yes I'm single.”
Meiyun was surprised when Naran suddenly spoke without her dialect.
Naran: ” Ahahaha~ Are you surprised?”
Meiyun: ” Ye-yes.”
Naran: ” Hey~ What do you think about my son?”
Meiyun's face blushed when she recalled everything that Di Shang said to her.
Meiyun: ” Ge-general Di? I think that he is a very gentle and kind person.”
Naran: ” Just that?”
Naran stood up and went to one of her drawers, she pulled out a dark green beaded necklace and walked back to Meiyun. She waited for Meiyun's next answer while holding the necklace in her hand.
Meiyun: ” General Di treated me like a woman which I had never experience of and I really appreciate him for showing his kindness even towards someone like me.”
Naran smiled gently at her and raised her head so Meiyun was face to face with her. She put the necklace on Meiyun and ruffled her hair.
Naran: ” It's good to hear that. Please take care of him for me from now on.”
Meiyun: ' What does she mean?'
Meiyun: ” Yes. But this necklace…?”
