Chapter 834: Being embarrassed
When Jiang Mubai finished breakfast and came to the living room from the dining room, Manman and Wu You had not gotten up yet. Jiang Mubai suspected that the two of them must have stayed up late chatting after returning to their room yesterday, otherwise why would they still be sleeping after such a long time.
She wanted to go up and wake them up, but seeing that they didn't have to get up early to prepare breakfast, she suddenly couldn't bear to disturb them. After thinking for a while, Jiang Mubai decided to give up and let them sleep as late as they wanted.
Zhou Xiaoying was a little worried that if Manman and Wu You continued to sleep like this, they would miss lunch. Jiang Mubai comforted her after hearing her concerns.
"It's okay. They don't have anything to do anyway. If you can sleep, then just sleep a little longer. Uncle, do you have anything to do this afternoon?"
"No, Yunchuan also asked us to stay at Jiang's house to play with you and Xiangxiang for a while longer."
"That's good. It will be the same when you have lunch and rest and then go back to the villa. Yunchuan and Brother Qi probably won't come over again at night. Manman and the others will have to go back to prepare dinner. If that happens, I won't let you stay here for dinner."
"Okay, that's what I had in mind."
The three of them played with Xiang Xiang for quite a while before they saw Man Man and Wu You coming down from upstairs. "Why are you awake so late? You didn't listen to me last night and you must have gone back to chat, right?"
"No, how could that be? It's possible for me but Manman definitely won't. Didn't she get up as late as me?"
"I don't know what happened. I woke up at this time. Maybe I had too much fun staying at Jiang's house yesterday. I relaxed and overslept."
"Okay, there's no breakfast for you in the kitchen right now. They're preparing lunch now. If you're hungry, drink some juice first. I'll ask the kitchen staff to squeeze some for you."
"Okay, Sister Mu Bai, I really like the juice in your house. It looks very fresh, as if it was just picked from the tree."
"If you like, just drink more. I have plenty here."
"Okay, but you can't drink too much. I still need to save room for lunch. I didn't eat this morning and overslept and missed breakfast. I'm starving now."
"In that case, how about asking the kitchen to cook you a bowl of noodles first?"
"Don't bother with that. It's not impossible to hold it in. Just drink a little more juice later."
Jiang Mubai called the butler and asked him to go to the kitchen and ask someone to squeeze some juice and bring it up to Wu You and Manman to drink to relieve their hunger.
The butler knew that Manman and Wu You must be very hungry since they didn't have breakfast in the morning, so after he received Jiang Mubai's instructions, he came out with the squeezed juice shortly afterwards.
After seeing this, Wu You couldn't help but pour himself a cup and drank it all in one breath, "It's so delicious! This is the taste! Sister Mu Bai, what kind of fruits do you use in your kitchen? Why are they so delicious?"
"It's just the ordinary ones. When I first came here, I also liked the juice squeezed in the kitchen. I even went to check it out, but it turned out to be just ordinary fruit."
"Why is it so delicious? Why can't I squeeze it out?"
"Maybe the ratio of water to fruit is different. You can go to the kitchen and ask. After all, you got to know everyone last night. They should be happy to answer this little question for you."
"Of course, those aunts want to help me find a match and even want me to be their daughter-in-law."
"Then our Wu You is really popular. You are so good at cooking and look so good. No wonder they like you. They just want to keep the wealth within the family."
"So what did you say? Do you have this idea?"
"Me? Sister Mu Bai, I'm only 25 years old! Isn't it a bit too early to get married now? I still feel like a child. Why are you asking me to start a new family with someone else?"
"So you don't have this idea now?"
"Of course, I haven't had enough fun yet. It's a bit early to talk about this now. I'm afraid it will take a few years for me to think about it carefully."
"Okay, then I'll save up a little more of your dowry for you, so you don't have to complain that I gave you too little."
"Sister Mu Bai, have you prepared a dowry for me? How could I complain that it's too little? I'm already happy enough if you prepare one for me. I won't complain no matter how much it is. Even if you don't prepare one for me, I don't think it's a big deal."
"Then don't worry, I will prepare everything for both you and Manman. You have been with me for such a long time and never left me, so how could I treat you unfairly?"
Manman felt embarrassed after hearing this: "You should have prepared it for Wu You, why did you prepare it for me too?"
"You are all my friends. Of course you should have what she has."
"That's right. And what do you mean by that, Manman? Why can Sister Mu Bai only prepare it for me? Do you look down on me and think that I will be bullied after I get married, so I need the dowry that Sister Mu Bai prepared for me?"
"How could that be? Manman just thinks you have a good temper and a good personality and is afraid that you will be bullied, so she said that."
"Then you don't have to worry about that. If I get bullied, I will definitely tell you. You can't just stand by and watch. You must help me and teach the bully a lesson."
"Of course, let alone your sister Mu Bai, even if I knew someone bullied you, I would not sit idly by."
"Woo woo! It's so nice to have you guys around. I don't even want to get married. I want to stay with you guys forever!"
"What are you going to do in the future? Can you count on our family to support you? Is there any benefit in being a godmother?"
"It's not impossible. I will love Xiangxiang as if he were my own child. It shouldn't be too much for me to give him all my property and let him take care of me when I'm old, right?"
"It's not too much, but you're thinking too much. We think we don't need your money, so you should just have one yourself."
Zhou Xiaoying sat aside and watched them chatting and found it funny: "Yeah, other people's children are not as fun as your own. Wu You is so cute, the baby she gives birth to will definitely be cute too. If it's a girl, we can arrange a baby marriage for her. Anyway, you have such a good relationship, then it will be like a close relationship."
"You're not even married yet and you're already talking to me about having kids. I'd be embarrassed if you said that. I'd be too embarrassed to talk about this."
Seeing that Wu You was really embarrassed, the others stopped teasing her.
"Okay, okay, I won't talk about you anymore. Look at your face, it's so red. Are you so easily shy?"
"Of course. I remember you weren't like this before, Sister Mu Bai. How come you've become so gossipy after getting married?"
"How is this gossip? I am just concerned about you, okay?"
"I know Sister Mu Bai cares about me. There's no rush for this matter. Let's just let it go. Didn't you also plan not to get married when you weren't with Brother Chuan? Now I have the same idea as you, just waiting for the destined person to appear. If he doesn't show up by then, I won't be in a hurry."
"Okay, as long as you know what's going on, it's no use for outsiders like us to worry anyway."
"Wu You is a blessed child. You will see when the time comes. I guarantee that what I say is right."
"Really? Then I'll take your good words, Aunt Zhou. I hope I can get rich and become a wealthy woman sooner in my life. Aunt Zhou, you must be saying that I am blessed in this regard, right?"
