Joy of Life: The Mei Family's Son Grows Up

Chapter 86 Heart-stirring
Princess Roujia's villa.

Prince Jing's voice sounded.

"Roujia, hey, what are you thinking about?"

Hearing the voice, Li Roujia came back to her senses from her daze, looked up at Prince Jing in front of her, stunned for a moment, and did not stand up to salute, her voice muffled.

"Father, you are here."

Prince Jing doted on his precious daughter so much that it didn't matter to him whether she performed the ceremony or not. Seeing his daughter's listless look, he felt only distressed.

He couldn't help but curse Mei Chengan in his heart. He was told to keep it a secret. Look what he has done to his precious daughter.

This girl, why don’t you come and ask me? If you ask me twice, I might tell you. I’m not that tight-lipped.

"Ahem, what's that? Mei Chengan has something he wants me to tell you. Do you want to hear it?"

When Li Roujia heard the name she had been thinking about day and night, her ears subconsciously pricked up.

Who? Mei Chengan?
Li Roujia suddenly looked up at Prince Jing, blinked her big eyes, and spoke in a pretentious voice.

"What did he ask my father to tell me?"

Prince Jing was about to speak when he was interrupted by Li Roujia again.

"Wait a minute, if it's not something good, then don't tell me, I don't want to hear it."

After saying that, she looked at Prince Jing expectantly, hoping it was good news.

Prince Jing looked at his daughter's expectant eyes and suddenly felt a little reluctant to speak. He was a little jealous. You didn't pay so much attention to your biological father when he came, but now you are so concerned about the news of that brat. It's outrageous!
He rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction and said unhappily.

"It may be a good thing for you, but not necessarily for me."

Li Roujia blinked, thought about it, and automatically ignored the second half of her father's words. That was invalid information and unimportant. Did it mean it was a good thing? Now she was looking forward to it even more.

"Then Father, please speak quickly."

"..."

Prince Jing looked at the leaky little cotton jacket with resentment, sighed and told the whole story including Mei Chengan's invitation.

"This is what happened. It's not that I didn't tell you, but that guy asked me to keep it a secret. That guy has delayed you for so long. If you want to blame someone, don't blame me. Go blame him. It has nothing to do with me.

Besides, that guy wants to invite you to Akihabara to see the maple leaves on the 16th. He only invited you. It’s up to you to decide whether to go or not.”

Li Roujia's tears began to flow as she listened. The confusion and grievances that had accumulated for a month quietly dissipated the moment she learned the truth. She had imagined countless possibilities but had never expected that there would be such a beautiful reason. Woo woo woo, she couldn't hold back her tears. It was so romantic.

She heard the word romance from Fan Ruoruo. When she heard Fan Ruoruo talk about the meaning of this word, her heart was full of longing. She wished that the romantic plot in the storybook could happen to her.

Now, the moment has really arrived.

Li Roujia's crying made Prince Jing unable to deal with her and he became completely panicked.

"Roujia, Roujia, don't cry. What happened? Are you angry? I'll go find that guy and make him kneel down to apologize to you, okay? Don't cry, don't cry. Oh, I'm so heartbroken."

Li Roujia was shocked when she heard this and quickly spoke out to stop him. Although there was still a tearful tone in her voice, there was no sadness in her voice.

"Father, don't go! Why are you looking for him? I'm fine, Father, don't worry. I'm not angry or sad, I'm just too happy and too touched, woo woo woo."

"..."

Prince Jing was very puzzled. He didn't understand why there was anything touching about this. The boy's methods were nothing special.

After much thought, he finally came up with one reason: his daughter had too little experience and had not seen much of the world.

Prince Jing looked at his daughter who was crying loudly.

I added another sentence in my mind.

And there is no future.

Fortunately, the one who lied to her was her future husband, so it was not a big problem. He couldn't say much about the couple's own affairs. So, forget it, just let them be.

Prince Jing walked away quietly with his hands behind his back.

Li Roujia cried heartily, sweeping away all the pent-up negative emotions. She felt much more energetic. At lunch, she had a great appetite and ate an extra bowl of rice, which shocked Li Hongcheng.

Li Hongcheng asked his sister what was going on, but she just shook her head and said she was in a good mood. When asked the reason, she refused to tell him. Li Hongcheng looked at Prince Jing again, hoping that his father could help him ask, but no matter how many times he tried to signal him, Prince Jing did not respond.

Li Hongcheng was a little depressed.

All are family.

Why should we isolate him alone?
……

The courtyard of Mei Mansion.

After much thought, Mei Cheng'an decided to tell them about Princess Roujia's affairs. He couldn't hide it, and they would definitely have to accompany him on the trip.

Upon learning that the young master's future wife might be Princess Roujia, the maids were somewhat surprised but otherwise reacted normally.

They had met Princess Roujia once. She was quite pretty, and she was the supreme princess, the only daughter of Prince Jing. She was a perfect match for their young master.

I just don’t know what the personality of this future mistress is like and whether she is easy to get along with.

Three days later, the Young Master will have his first formal meeting with Princess Roujia. For such an important moment, preparations cannot be sloppy at all. Everything must be prepared carefully, and everything must be the best.

The maids started to work on their own without waiting for the young master's instructions.

Three days passed in a flash. Mei Chengan was awakened by Hongshu while he was still asleep. He opened his eyes and looked out the window. It was already bright outside. Only then did he realize that he had woken up late.

It's not his fault. He usually goes to bed early, but he was a little excited last night. He tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. He tossed and turned until very late before he fell into a drowsy sleep.

He sat on the edge of the bed in a daze for a while, until Hongshu called him for the second time, he came to his senses.

After getting up, Mei Cheng'an first practiced Tai Chi several times in the yard. After his body was fully exercised, he became completely awake.

After washing up comfortably, they let Hongshu comb their hair and change their headbands. After finishing their hairstyle, Hongshu brought seven or eight sets of clothes and asked him to change them one by one. They wanted to see which one was more suitable.

Mei Chengan was speechless. Why was it so grand? It was just an autumn outing. He didn't want to waste his energy on making it look like a wedding. Did he know what a clothes hanger was? Changing clothes was totally unnecessary.

He looked back and forth at several sets of clothes and finally chose the narrow-sleeved brown suit.

After she changed her clothes, the maids took a look and couldn't find any faults, so they didn't say much.

While having breakfast, his sister Mei Yuxi asked him a question specifically.

"Brother, I see Sister Bluebird and the others are packing their bags. Are you going on an autumn outing again?"

"Ah."

"Or with Lao Wang's family?"

"They've already been there, and this time they invited other friends."

"Who is it?"

"Enjoy your meal, why are you asking so many questions?"

"..."

After breakfast, Mei Cheng'an gathered five people and two carriages drove out of the Mei Mansion and headed straight for the north gate.

After waiting outside the north gate for almost a cup of tea, a carriage with the logo of Prince Jing's Mansion arrived.

Mei Cheng'an originally wanted to say hello to Princess Roujia first, but Princess Roujia refused to lift the curtain.

Mei Chengan smiled and said softly.

"Is that Princess Roujia in the carriage?"

There was a flurry of panic from the carriage beside him, and then a crisp voice pretending to be calm was heard.

"Yes, it's me, Cheng, hello, Brother Chengan."

Mei Chengan raised his eyebrows. He was quite surprised to hear the word "brother". Was this from his sister? It sounds pretty nice. He smiled and responded.

"Hello, now that you are here, let's go."

"Good~"

So well-behaved, with a cute little tail tone, Mei Chengan said as he lowered the car curtain with a smile on his face.

"Let's go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qingniao set off in his carriage, followed closely by Princess Roujia's carriage, and the carriage loaded with groceries followed behind.

The three carriages headed towards Akihabara.

……

The peak season for autumn outings in late autumn is generally in early September. People who don’t like crowds may postpone their trips, but they are concentrated in the first half of the month, and the later it is, the fewer people there are.

Logically speaking, Mei Cheng'an could have chosen to travel in late September, when there would be basically no one there. But Mei Cheng'an didn't want to wait any longer. He didn't want there to be too many people there, nor did he want it to be empty. It would be too deserted and the temperature would be low, and he was afraid that Li Roujia wouldn't be able to hold on.

When the convoy arrived in Akihabara, there were already groups of tourists traveling together, and the number was not large.

The convoy did not stop at the outskirts, but went a little further inside before stopping. Mei Chengan lifted the curtain and looked inside. At this moment, they were on a quiet path, with red leaves all over the sky in front of them.

After getting off the carriage, Mei Cheng'an stepped on the soft ground covered with maple leaves.

After a quick look around, they found that there was also a maple forest on the other side of the road. It turned out that they were now in the center of the maple forest. No wonder they didn't see many people.

Mei Cheng'an walked towards Princess Roujia's carriage.

The coachman had already put the bench in place. The first person to get off the carriage was a maid, who should be Li Roujia's personal maid. When the maid saw Mei Cheng'an, she looked at him with a strange expression.

What kind of look is that? It doesn't seem very friendly. Mei Chengan touched his nose.

The next person to come out of the carriage after the maid was Princess Roujia.

She was wearing a white dress today, a light gold bustier, and a white tulle outer coat.

She didn't wear many ornaments on her head. Her hair was thick and black, reaching her waist. Her face should have been rouge-covered. Her cheeks were pink and she had lip balm on. Her lips looked even redder against her fair skin, which was especially beautiful and tempting, coupled with her big, twinkling eyes.

She is breathtakingly beautiful.

As soon as Li Roujia got out of the carriage, she saw Mei Chengan looking at her with a smile. Her pretty face turned red and she subconsciously looked away.

Just as he was about to help the maid get out of the carriage, Mei Cheng'an took two steps forward and also stretched out his hand.

The maid glared at Mei Chengan. What did you mean? Are you trying to snatch such a job?

Mei Cheng'an didn't look at her either, but just smiled at Princess Roujia.
