Chapter 374: Chapter 377 Star-of-Bethlehem?_1
Qiao Duo’er nodded, "I have the same intention, but I’m afraid that given enough time, someone might impersonate us. It’s just that I’m tied down right now."
"That attitude is good enough, you just focus on being a bride, and I can get my cousin to keep an eye on the shop space for us, and let you know when he finds something suitable."
Daniu patted her chest, signaling she’s got this matter under control.
Moreover, setting up a shop isn’t something that can be done in a day or two, it won’t be too late to get started after the wedding.
However, finding the right shopfront is difficult, so it’s worth starting to look early, in case it takes up to half a year to find the right one.
"Then please remember to thank your cousin for me."
After discussing the important matters, Daniu went out to get a pear to wash, proudly grown at Old Lady Huang’s House, both crisp and sweet, one could never have enough.
As she stepped out the door, she turned and exclaimed, "Sister Duo’er, you really have made Brother Hong come!"
The next second, she truly wanted to sew her own mouth shut.
Because with that shout, she alarmed Aunt Huang, who at that moment rushed to the doorway to intercept.
"Zheng Hong, have you forgotten my words again?"
"Aunt Huang, Brother Hong and his wife actually got married a long time ago, this time it’s just to host a ceremony. Just turn a blind eye, please?" Daniu urged.
Aunt Huang kept shaking her head, "No, no, these are the rules!"
"Then do you have the heart to see Sister Duo’er fall ill from longing? Look, she’s already lost weight in just a few days," Daniu said, coquettishly clinging to Aunt Huang’s arm.
Yang Ruoruo also pleaded, "Auntie, please be kind."
"Well... shall we go outside then?" Aunt Huang still hesitated, after all, she wasn’t like Daniu or Yang Ruoruo—mere children.
Daniu and Ruoruo nodded their heads, immediately pulling Aunt Huang outside.
Aunt Huang felt helpless; she could only say that this couple was too love-struck to bear being apart for even a few days.
Inside the room, Qiao Duo’er said with her head down, "You... why have you come?"
"Missing you deeply, so I came over," said Tan Zhenghong naively. "I was worried Aunt Huang wouldn’t let it happen, but I didn’t expect I’d really get to see you."
It had only been a few days, and he was already so distracted, wishing he could skip straight to their wedding day.
Qiao Duo’er said with disdain, "You’re really shameless."
"What’s there to be ashamed of in missing my own wife? It’s not like I’m missing someone else’s wife. Here, take this!"
Tan Zhenghong pulled out a bunch of fresh flowers from behind, which he had picked along the way.
He thought his wife would be overjoyed, but to his surprise, he caught a twitch on the corner of Qiao Duo’er’s eye. Maybe she didn’t like them?
Tan Zhenghong smiled and said, "Wife, it’s okay if you don’t like them. Just tell me what kind you prefer, and I’ll go pick them for you."
"Where did you pick these from?"
Qiao Duo’er picked out the least conspicuous flower from the bunch.
Amidst the cluster of flowers, this single blossom caught Qiao Duo’er’s eye, as it was the very Star-of-Bethlehem she had been searching for so long!
"Just by the roadside, there was a lot of them, why do you ask?" Tan Zhenghong asked nervously.
Could it be that this type of flower was poisonous, and his wife had a bad premonition?
Qiao Duo’er slowly stated, "This flower is called Star-of-Bethlehem."
Tan Zhenghong nodded, then after three seconds, he excitedly said, "Wife, what are you saying? That’s impossible, right? They are just by the roadside, clusters upon clusters of them!"
To think they had exerted so much effort for Star-of-Bethlehem, and he was now being told that this was it?
But how could this possibly be Star-of-Bethlehem?
Otherwise, wouldn’t they have found it much earlier? Why would they have had to wait until now!
