Fix Smile Order - CH 118
Tang Tianyuan and Tan Lingyin walked into the depths of the plum flower forest, only to realize that the forest was much bigger than expected. He held her hand, picked a blooming red plum flower and pinned it in her hair.
Tan Lingyin took out something from her sleeve and handed it to him.
Tang Tianyuan took a look and saw that it was a light blue pouch. It was embroidered with a stalk of emerald bamboo and decorated with green tassels. The whole purse looked plain and very ordinary.
“I made it myself.” Tan Lingyin said.
“No wonder why it looks so ugly.”
Tan Lingyin rolled her eyes, “Do you want it or not?” She said, ready to snatch it back.
Tang Tianyuan held up the pouch so high that Tan Lingyin couldn’t reach it even on tiptoe, and almost fell into his arms. He took the opportunity to kiss her face. “Since you gave it to me, then it’s mine. But now you want to take it back?”
Tan Lingyin gave him a sideways glance. “You don’t like it because I didn’t do a good job. You should just go find a better one.”
Tang Tianyuan looked down at her with his eyebrows slightly raised, his smiling eyes seemed drunk as he replied, “Who says I don’t like it? I like anything and everything made by you.”
Tan Lingyin blushed. She bowed her head and retorted, “How come I never noticed you were so glib before!”
Tang Tianyuan replied without thinking, “I don’t talk to girls so casually,” he said, scratching the tip of her nose lightly, “Do you understand?”
Tan Lingyin pushed him away, “I don’t understand.”
“It doesn’t matter whether you understand or not. Since you gave me this, then you agreed to marry me.” Tang Tianyuan lightly shook the pouch in front of Tan Lingyin and then carefully put it away.
“Why are you such a rascal? Give it back to me.”
“No.”
“Give me.”
“No.”
Tan Lingyin pretended to snatch it back. Tang Tianyuan took two steps back, turned around, and ran.
Tan Lingyin chased after him.
The two of them shuttled through the plum blossoms like a pair of idiots, chasing and ‘fighting’. Tang Tianyuan was afraid that Tan Lingyin would not be able to catch up with him, so he would stop and wait for her every few steps.
But Tan Lingyin still got lost in the end.
She looked around in confusion. Where is he?
Her eyesight was not good, so the difference between a person and a tree was not too big in her eyes. How would she find him at this point?
Suddenly, she was hugged tightly from behind.
Tang Tianyuan: “Caught you!”
Tan Lingyin: “…” Did you forget who was chasing who now?…
Tang Tianyuan embraced Tan Lingyin. He rubbed his chin behind her ear, and called her softly, “Yinyin.”
His soft call made Tan Lingyin’s legs tremble, “…Hmm?”
“I’ve always wanted to tell you something.”
“I’m listening.”
“Once I tell you, you can get angry, you can beat me and scold me. But don’t hide from me and don’t ignore me, okay? You have to promise that you will still marry me.” He made a few demands first.
Tan Lingyin resisted the urge to roll her eyes. “Say it.”
“Forget it. The atmosphere is too good now, I’ll tell you when I get back.”
—
When they came back from Abandoned Plum Flower Slope, Tang Tianyuan got out of the carriage first, and then helped Tan Lingyin down.
Zhao Xiaoliu rushed up to Tang Tianyuan and said in a low voice, “My lord, there is a guest.”
“Who?”
Zhao Xiaoliu didn’t know how to explain. “You’ll know when you go in and have a look.”
Tang Tianyuan was puzzled. Nevertheless, he took Tan Lingyin to the Retreat Hall. Once inside, he found that the Retreat Hall was really lively: a man in his mid-forties, a woman in her early-thirties, and a boy of seven or eight. Xianggua was currently coaxing the boy with snacks.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, everyone in the room looked towards their side.
Tang Tianyuan was keenly aware of the emotional changes in Tan Lingyin beside him. He glanced at her from his peripherals and found that her expression was a little absentminded.
“Dad,” she murmured.

Tang Tang: Mama said that being single is the most shameful.
Zheng Shaofeng: Bullsh*t. Aren’t you the same? You are also shameful.
Tang Tang: It’s different, I am not single human, I am a single lion~
Zheng Shaofeng: You… Hehehe, being a single lion is also shameful. It’s all the same, you are still without a wife.
Tang Tang: That’s because I’m still young. My fur hasn’t even grown yet, so I’m not in a hurry.
Zheng Shaofeng: Someone said that they want to ship us together. What are your thoughts about this? Let me tell you first that I’m not interested in you, but just asking casually. No pressure.
Tang Tang: To be honest, you’re not good enough.
Zheng Shaofeng: Why? Is it my gender?
Tang Tang: No, it’s your appearance.
Zheng Shaofeng: …I think I am quite handsome.
Tang Tang: (shakes his head and sighs) I’m not asking you to look like a lion, but you should at least look like a dog.
Zheng Shaofeng: …QAQ (No wonder I’m single… So it’s because I don’t look like a dog?)
