Chapter 356 Ning An Ru Meng: You Yue Isn't Stupid Anymore (The End)

Yan Ling rushed forward instantly, her eyes reddening, "A Yue, why did it take so long?"

Chu Yuan smiled and touched the corner of his eye with her finger. "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Then she was pulled into a broad, warm embrace.

Yanling buried her face in her neck, and soon Chu Yuan felt a few drops of moisture slide down her skin. Her heart ached, and she raised her hand to hug Yanling back.

"I'm fine."

Yan Ling's voice was low and restrained, "Next time, no, there will be no next time. I will never let you face danger alone again!"

Unless he dies.

...

Shen Lang still died when the crown prince was eight months old.

Xie Wei naturally became the Crown Prince's tutor, overseeing the country and assisting in governance, enjoying unparalleled prestige.

As Xie Wei's only caring relatives, the Yan family held considerable military power and lived a comfortable life.

People flocked to her seeking favor, and some even offered to marry their eldest daughters to Yan Ling as concubines, but Yan Ling chased them all away.

"Get out! I'm not taking a concubine!"

"Just because your wife is pregnant doesn't mean you can control your lust and need someone to vent your frustrations on. That's all just an excuse. I don't need that. If you come again, I'll break your legs!"

Chu Yuan found it amusing. Of course he didn't need it, since she hadn't skimped on his food at all.

A few days later, Chu Yuan gave birth to a daughter. Yan Ling was so delighted with her that she stopped going to the military camp and spent her days at home kissing, hugging and lifting her up high.

Xie Wei couldn't stand how much his daughter was spoiled.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to visit the manor, Xie Wei said with exasperation, "Yan Ling, a man's ambition lies in all directions. Do you know that you're spoiling your daughter and letting her lose her ambition?"

Yanling remained noncommittal, instead asking, "Brother, how many months pregnant is Xue Ning?"

"March." When Xie Wei said this, his eyes were incredibly gentle, so much so that they could melt your heart!

And you still have the nerve to criticize him?

Yan Ling scoffed, "Stop talking big. You'll know when you have your own daughter."

It's probably even more exaggerated than him.

To Yanling's delight, the Xie family's first child was not a daughter.

That night, he was so happy that he didn't sleep a wink, just staring at his little girl's sleeping face and grinning like an idiot all night.

Chu Yuan woke up in the middle of the night speechless, "Are you possessed?"

"I'm happy."

Yan Ling said arrogantly, "The Xie family doesn't have a daughter, the Zhang family doesn't have one, and even Lü Xian doesn't have one, hahaha, I'm the only one with a precious daughter, sweet and cuddly, and they're all just brats!"

I'll have to keep a closer eye on my daughter from now on, so she doesn't get bullied by those brats!

As soon as she finished speaking, a delicate pink foot suddenly stomped on Yan Ling's face—it was Yan Tang!

Nickname: Tangtang.

Don't let her age fool you, she's not even two years old yet, she's incredibly strong. She kicked her own father's face so hard it was twisted to one side. Chu Yuan suspected that she must have given birth to some kind of naturally strong creature.

She curled her lip and said, "With your daughter's talent, if someone bullies her, she'll be lucky if she doesn't beat them to a pulp!"

Eight years later—

As Chu Yuan expected, Yan Tang grew up to be the leader of this group of "brats".

They're always jumping around, teasing cats and dogs, and are even more mischievous than three rascals.

Moreover, she shamelessly asked, "Mother, who do you think I should marry when I grow up?"

Is it Xie Lan from Uncle Xie's family, Zhang Chenxi from Uncle Zhang's family, or Lu Xiaokubao from Uncle Lü's family?

Sigh, it's so hard to choose.

I'm afraid they all like me too much, and I can't split myself into three; otherwise, they might fight over me, which wouldn't be good.

Chu Yuan put down the ledger in her hand, her expression one of utter shock.

My dear daughter, where do you get your confidence from?

In her opinion, those handsome young men might actually like her or be afraid of her!

Yan Tang's favorite thing to do was to take his father's unsheathed sword and chase after people, insisting on shaving their heads!

If you really like it, how about multiple flavors?

Seven years later, Yantang turned fifteen.

Chu Yuan received marriage proposals from the Xie, Zhang, and Lü families at the same time, all asking for her daughter's hand in marriage!

Chu Yuan was shocked once again, the three marriage contracts in her hand feeling like hot potatoes. "Yan Ling, what... what should we do?"

The latter, with his legs crossed, was very relaxed, even proud of how popular his daughter was. He snorted, "Didn't you say that Tangtang was naughty and fierce, and no one liked her? Look, my daughter is loved by everyone, and countless outstanding young men are vying to marry her!"

"Alright, alright, your daughter is the most popular, okay?" Chu Yuan was too lazy to argue with him, her brows furrowed. "You'd better hurry up and give me an idea, which of the three should we choose?"

Yan Tang is right, there is only one her, she doesn't have the ability to be in two places at once.

Yan Ling lowered her long, straight legs, stepped forward, and hugged Chu Yuan in her arms. "Silly girl, isn't this simple? Let Tangtang choose for herself!"

We'll choose whoever she likes.

As for the other two companies, just refuse them. Are they going to hold a grudge?

Chu Yuan ultimately accepted Yan Ling's suggestion and let Yan Tang choose for herself.

Like his father, Xie Lan was highly educated and made a living with his brains.

Zhang Chenxi has been raised a bit too wildly, dealing with corpses all day long, and is determined to become the best coroner in the world with a 100% case-solving rate.

Lu Baobao was already incredibly wealthy at a young age. Besides the fortune his parents had earned, he was also quite capable himself, having developed a method for refining salt, which was probably inspired by Ren Weizhi's Zhuo Salt Well.

In short, each of the three children has their own strengths.

Based on their past interactions, everyone agreed that Yan Tang would choose Zhang Chenxi, since they were both unconventional and shared common interests.

Who knew that she would call out Lu Baobao's name in the end.

I won't go into how flattered the latter was.

Before the wedding, Chu Yuan privately asked her daughter, "Your parents both thought you and Zhang Chenxi would get along better, so why did it turn out to be that crybaby Lü?"

She's called people that since she was a child.

Yan Tang snorted, pulled the veil over herself, and sat properly, her voice clear and ethereal, "Because he's well-behaved."

When I bully him, he never runs away, and his crying makes him even more endearing.

Chu Yuan, "..."

Well, it seems you and your mother have the same problem: being fooled by a crying child.

In fact, there may be an even more domineering soul residing within their bodies!

Don't ask Chu Yuan how she knew; tonight... she's destined to be sleepless.

"Ah Yue, I really regret marrying Tangtang off so early. Why don't you give me another one?"
