70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 239: Can’t Sleep

"Is our little brother missing his sister? Have you been a good boy today?" Xu Mumu placed the little guy on her lap and pinched his chubby cheeks.

"Ah ah ah." The little guy reached out to grab his sister’s hair, babbling without anyone knowing what he meant, a smile still on his face. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Of course he misses you. He even asked me to carry him to your room to find you." Xu Minglei felt a bit jealous; clearly, his sister used to adore him the most, but now this little brother is here to compete for her affection.

However, being a brother feels pretty nice.

The little guy has a pretty good memory; he knows which room his favorite sister lives in, always wanting his brothers and sisters to carry him to the eldest sister’s room to find her.

"Ah, our little brother is so smart, he even knows where sister’s room is now." Xu Mumu gave the little guy a kiss on his tender cheek.

"Ah ah." After getting kissed by his sister, the little guy happily tugged at her hair.

Xu Mumu took care of the little guy during dinner while the others went to eat; she stayed in her room playing with her little brother, feeling exceptionally cheerful. She had never been in a relationship before, so accepting someone’s confession felt rather novel.

Especially when she thinks about Yin Yang’s bright eyes, her heart starts racing; this must be what it feels like to like someone.

Perhaps it’s because Yin Yang’s face is too good-looking; it has quite an impact on her.

Yin Yang’s face perfectly hits her favorite spot.

Thinking about Yin Yang and looking around her room, a lot of things were given by him. This guy unconsciously infiltrated her life so much.

Tomorrow, when Yin Yang comes over, she’ll formally introduce him to her family.

Considering how well he can get along with her family, they’re likely to accept him easily.

The little guy, noticing his sister’s neglect, grew unhappy and began to pull on her hair with force.

"No pulling. How about we play with the rattle?" Xu Mumu grabbed the rattle nearby; the little guy’s strength was no joke—he was pulling quite painfully.

The sound of the rattle quickly caught the little guy’s attention, making him relax his grip on Xu Mumu’s hair.

Freeing her hair from the little guy’s clutch, Xu Mumu gathered it with an elastic band to prevent another round of tugging.

Who knows where this little guy got the bad habit from; every time she lets her hair down, he loves to grab it, and simply grabbing isn’t enough—he pulls hard too.

Once Li Caixia finished up her tasks, she came over to take the little guy for his bath. As the weather got hotter, he needed two to three baths a day.

"Sister, you’re in a great mood, huh?" Xu Minghui lazily leaned against the door, watching Xu Mumu. Ever since his sister came back, the smile on her face never left. Did she win some money?

"Yeah, not bad. Am I showing it too obviously?" Xu Mumu tilted her head, pausing as she folded her clothes.

"Uh-huh, your face is almost cracking from smiling so much—how is it not obvious? Did something good happen?" Xu Minghui asked with interest.

"You’ll find out tomorrow. I’m going to fetch water for a bath." Xu Mumu winked, teasingly leaving it at that, then grabbed a basin and went out.

Watching her leave, Xu Minghui raised an eyebrow, curious to see what she’ll say tomorrow.

Hmm, wonder if the family will accept Yin Yang. They should, their relationship seems quite good.

After fetching bath water, Xu Mumu rubbed her face; she was indeed quite happy.

Carrying the fetched water to the bathroom, thanks to her insistence, it was already renovated enough to shower, even if there was no showerhead or bathtub. It’s more convenient than wiping with a cloth in her room, and she didn’t have to worry about water splashing everywhere.

A good shower feels amazing after sweating; she’s quite tolerant of heat and cold, but this weather has been much hotter than last year, making even her feel some heat.

Returning to her room, the bed now has a cooling mat, though her room catches the sun well during the day, warming it up quite a bit.

The kerosene lamp’s smell was somewhat unpleasant, so Xu Mumu leaned against the bed, holding a book; she couldn’t really focus on it now.

Her mind was filled with the words Yin Yang said to her earlier, and thinking about them made her smile involuntarily.

Yin Yang is indeed a good choice for her; if she had no interest, she wouldn’t have agreed, nor given him the chance to pursue her. She clearly knows what she’s doing and understands what she needs.

The sound of crickets outside added to the peacefulness.

Unable to focus on the book, Xu Mumu set it aside, blew out the kerosene lamp, and opened the window to let the smell dissipate.

Equally excited was Yin Yang, who just returned from the cowshed, having shared the good news with his grandfather.

His grandfather isn’t materialistic; he’s quite supportive of him having a partner.

Previously, Professor Song wanted to find a granddaughter-in-law for his grandson; unexpectedly, Yin Yang found someone on his own—quite impressive.

Though he hasn’t met Xu Mumu many times, she made a particularly strong impression.

Despite not being familiar with her, Xu Mumu had helped them several times, and the mechanical thresher she drew and her notes left a lasting impression at the professors’ place.

Professor Song simply told Yin Yang to bring the girl over for a meeting sometime, without much else to say.

Yin Yang is his only family now, so he hopes for his happiness and doesn’t want him to live poorly like his daughter did.

Yin Yang’s mind was filled with Xu Mumu’s every smile and glance; he finally won over the heart he long desired, making him want to shout his excitement loudly.

"Yin Yang, what are you doing? It’s late and you’re still not sleeping. What are you up to?" Huo Qingze was disturbed by Yin Yang’s noise outside, having just been awakened after falling asleep.

"Ah, why aren’t you asleep yet? I’m just searching for something." Yin Yang glanced at Huo Qingze briefly before continuing his search.

"I just fell asleep and got awakened by you. What’s up with you today? You seem off," Huo Qingze said, looking at Yin Yang like he was crazy, giving him an ’are you nuts?’ look.

"Haha, Huo Qingze, I have a girlfriend now. You’ll be the only single one left in our little yard." Yin Yang beamed; Shen Qi paired up with a lady intellectual earlier this year and they’re even discussing marriage now. Yin Yang was extremely envious before, but now he’s got a partner too.
