Chapter 111 Auspicious Wishes (29)

After finishing their business, Yi Yi was asked to stay behind for a chat by Ma Dashuai.

It was supposed to be a chat, but it was really just listening to Ma Dashuai ramble on and on about everything under the sun.

I don't know why he doesn't have any important tasks to do.

Ma Yuliang returned at this time.

As soon as he entered, he smelled the tobacco in the air.

After changing his shoes, he walked inside, saying, "Xiao Juan, didn't I tell you not to let Dad smoke so much? Where is he now...?"

Before he could finish speaking, he froze on the spot as he passed through the living room.

Yi Yi turned around, leaned against the back of the sofa, and waved to him, "Hi..."

Without a second thought, Ma Yuliang walked into the living room and sat down next to Yi Yi: "Come here..."

"Cough cough!"

Before he could finish asking his question, he was interrupted by Ma Dashuai's cough.

Ma Yuliang's attention was immediately diverted. He glanced at the ashtray held by the maid, frowned, and asked the maid beside Commander Ma, "Why is Father smoking so many cigars?"

The maid lowered her head and heard General Ma explain, "Oh, my brother-in-law is here today, I was happy so I smoked a little more! Don't blame Xiao Juan!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Yuliang frowned even more.

Looking at her father and then at the maid, she finally sighed helplessly and said, "But Father, your health hasn't been good lately, and the doctor has told you to smoke less!"

"Nonsense! I'm perfectly healthy! Besides, I only smoked two or three cigarettes with the guests, it's not much..." Seeing his son's unmoved expression, Ma Dashuai glanced at Yi Yi, and suddenly became somewhat embarrassed and angry. He raised his voice and shouted, "Who are you to tell me what to do? Report to your work!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Yuliang jumped to his feet and said, "Reporting, sir, the snow-clearing logistics troops arranged in the city are working steadily, and the front lines..."

"Ahem!" Commander Ma quickly coughed, interrupting Ma Yuliang's work report.

Upon hearing Commander Ma cough, Ma Yuliang immediately stopped his work report, understanding the situation perfectly.

He knew that his father just didn't want to lose face in front of outsiders because of his excessive discipline, and that it would be a loss if he were to leak military information because of it.

But then I saw his fake cough slowly turn into a real cough.

Ma Yuliang sighed and patted his back to help him catch his breath, saying, "The doctor said you can only smoke two cigars a day at most. Didn't we agree on one after lunch and one after dinner?"

Knowing that his momentary anger had almost caused a disaster, General Ma simply stopped coughing and said nothing more.

Yi Yi saw everything and was prepared for this situation.

She had sensed it before from Ma Dashuai's inexplicable obedience test, and now she was even more certain.

Perhaps it's because his son has grown up, and he, a man who has spent his life on the battlefield, has grown old and is now plagued by illness, unable to enjoy absolute authority in the family anymore.

He began to consciously or unconsciously prefer doing things that made him appear to be in control.

Really...

boring.

Yi Yi looked at the scene before her, which was clearly one of filial piety and parental love, but upon closer inspection, she could sense a strange undercurrent.

It seems that Ma Yuliang's relationship with this warlord father was not particularly close.

But it turns out that General Ma's health started to decline around this time?

But thinking about it, it makes sense; older people are less resistant to this kind of unusual weather.

Yi Yi gave Ma Dashuai a deep look.

That's good. It means that later on, the Ma family is eager to bring good luck to the seriously ill General Ma, and there's a hint that they'll pressure the Zhu family into a marriage proposal.

While Yi Yi quietly remained silent, lost in thought.

Ma Yuliang had already ordered his servants to send the reluctant Commander Ma back to his room to rest, and dismissed everyone else.

He also ordered the last servant to leave to close the living room door.

After thinking it over, Yi Yi looked up and saw Ma Yuliang standing in front of her, wearing a white shirt and with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

Yi looked around and found that there was no one else in the living room except for the two of them.

She blinked, clearing her mind, and asked, "Why did you chase everyone away?"

“Yi Yi didn’t come to the Marshal’s Mansion to see me the first time!” That was Ma Yuliang’s irrelevant reply.

"Ah... actually, it wasn't the first time," Yi Yi weakly retorted.

But Ma Yuliang ignored him and said to himself, "It's been snowing for so long that the roads are blocked, so I can't come to you."

"That's true, so what?" Yi Yi was a little confused.

"The snow finally stopped, but my father's health has deteriorated a lot. I've been so busy and overwhelmed these past few days!" Ma Yuliang complained, opening his arms to Yi Yi. "I need a hug from Yi Yi to feel better!"

Yi Yi clutched her chest and quickly turned her head, her eyes wide with surprise as she thought: Has this child always been so good at being affectionate?

It has to be admitted that Yi Yi is very susceptible to this.

Just as she was marveling at Ma Yuliang's cuteness, the man somehow appeared behind the sofa, leaned out, and asked with a wronged expression, "Is that not allowed?"

lovely!

Seeing the look on Ma Yuliang's face that would make him even more upset if she hesitated for even a second longer, Yi Yi immediately agreed, "Okay, okay, you can hug me however you want!"

Then, Yi Yi was scooped up in one scoop and held tightly in someone's arms...

I'm starting to think I should take back what I said.

The hug I envisioned was him snuggling in my arms and acting all cute!

Her neck was itchy, so she turned her head and saw Ma Yuliang tilting his head and looking at her.

Seeing her turn around, he raised his eyes and asked innocently, "Yiyi, are you in pain? Should I let go?"

So cute!!!

Yi Yi cried out silently, tilting her head to the side and saying nonchalantly, "I'm not in pain, hug me however you want!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Yuliang happily tightened his arms and rubbed his face against hers, saying joyfully, "Thank you, sister!"

For a moment, Yi Yi felt choked, but after Ma Yuliang obediently called her "sister," she chose to compromise again.

Oh well... as long as he's happy.

Ma Yuliang was extremely satisfied, holding Yi Yi in his arms. His smug little face made you feel like there was a tail wagging behind him.

He watched as Yi Yi, who was stiff but enduring the overly intimate actions between them, happily snuggled up to her again.

In our previous interactions, I could vaguely sense that Yi Yi was quite susceptible to this kind of thing.

Now that I see it, it's indeed true!

Moreover, Yi Yi's awkwardness wasn't because she disliked him or anything, but rather because she wasn't used to this kind of distance.

But she's willing to put up with me!

So happy!

The happy puppy wanted to hug the goddess in his arms tighter, but considering that she would be uncomfortable if he hugged her too tightly, he simply closed his eyes and nestled his head on her shoulder.

After a while, Yi Yi glanced at the dark circles under his eyes, sighed softly, and reached out to stroke his fluffy head.

The puppy, with its eyes closed, pretends to be asleep so naturally, but its non-existent tail has long since been whipping around like a propeller.
