Lu An could feel her nervousness, so he took the initiative to introduce them. “Aunt Zhen, Aunt Xi, this is my wife, Jin Nian.”
The two ladies looked over and nodded with a smile. One of them, who was wearing a dark green dress, said kindly, “h.e.l.lo, I’m Gu Yu’s mother. Just call me Aunt Xi like Lu An.”
“I’m Gu Yao’s mother,” another lady in a moon-white dress said. “Call me Aunt Zhen.”
“Aunt Zhen, Aunt Xi, sorry to bother you.” Jin Nian smiled and nodded.
Aunt Xi was exceptionally enthusiastic. She waved at Jin Nian and said, “Sit down. Don’t just stand there. Try this fresh flower cake. It’s made from the roses in the garden. It’s delicious.”
Jin Nian sat next to Aunt Xi. Although the two aunties were nice, Aunt Xi was more enthusiastic. Aunt Zhen, like her son Gu Yao, had a cold personality, but it was obvious that she was very kind.
After leaving Jin Nian behind, Lu An left with Gu Yu.
In the afternoon, Jin Nian and the two aunties came to the back garden of the castle. She then realized that all the roses in the garden were used to make flower cakes. There were too many flowers here, and the area was even larger than a playground.
The three of them leaned back in their chairs, admiring the lush flowers around them, tasting the slightly bitter black tea and sweet pastries.
“Niannian, can I call you that?” Auntie Xi asked with a smile.
“Of course you can.” Although Jin Nian had only known Auntie Xi for a few hours, she felt that she was very close to her.
Auntie Xi smiled. “I heard from Lu An that you’re pregnant again. Your belly hasn’t shown any signs of pregnancy yet!”
“It’s only been three weeks. The baby is still too young.” Jin Nian touched her belly subconsciously, her face full of happiness.
The two ladies stared at Jin Nian’s belly. They looked at each other and sighed.
Jin Nian looked at them in confusion. Then, Auntie Xi smiled and said, “Don’t misunderstand. We’re worried about Gu Yao and Gu Yu because you’re pregnant with your second child. These two brats are already so old, but they’re not in a hurry to get married. We’re so worried.”
Aunt Zhen looked helpless. “Especially Gu Yao. He’s already in his thirties, but he’s still single. If I wait any longer, I’m afraid I won’t be able to wait until his child is born.”
“Aunt Zhen, you will definitely live to a hundred years old. Actually, marriage is something that can’t be said for sure. Lu An probably didn’t tell you guys. I almost married someone else before, but something happened in the middle. In the end, Lu An and I got married in a flash.”
“He didn’t tell me!” Aunt Xi said with a gossipy face after hearing Jin Nian’s words. “What happened? Tell me.”
After that, Jin Nian began to tell the two of them the story between her and Lu An. The two ladies especially liked to listen to other people’s love stories. As they listened, their faces were full of smiles, immersed in the happiness of Lu An and Jin Nian.
“That’s great! It would be great if Gu Yao and Gu Yu could meet someone they really like. Then we sisters wouldn’t have to worry about them every day.” Aunt Xi sighed.
“Aunt Xi, are you sisters with Aunt Zhen?” Jin Nian asked tentatively.
“That’s right! We’re biological sisters. We married the two brothers of the Gu family, so the two sons we gave birth to also look very similar.” Auntie Xi said with a smile.
Jin Nian nodded. That was indeed the case. When she first met Gu Yao and Gu Yu, she still couldn’t tell the two brothers apart because they looked too similar. She thought that they were from the same mother, but now she found out that their father was a biological brother and their mother was also a biological sister. Such a family was quite strange.
“Niannian, who do you think is more handsome, Ah Yao or Ah Yu?” Auntie Xi asked with a smile.
“What? This… Gu Yao, I guess.” Jin Nian thought for a while.
The two ladies looked surprised. “You actually think it’s Ah Yao? This was too strange. Ever since he was young, Ah Yu had always been more popular! That kid has a cheerful personality and many girls pursue him. As for Ah Yao, although he’s very handsome, he’s just too cold. The girls are afraid of him and don’t dare to get close to him.”
Aunt Zhen shook her head helplessly. “I think this kid is going to be alone for the rest of his life.”
“Fate is a wonderful thing. Maybe Gu Yao will meet his destined partner one day.” Jin Nian said with a smile.
The two elders were most worried about Gu Yao’s marriage. After all, he was already in his thirties, while Gu Yu was only twenty-six years old. There was no need to be so anxious.
Aunt Zhen said earnestly, “Actually, I don’t have high expectations for girls. As long as Ah Yao likes them and has a good character, it’s fine. External conditions and material aspects aren’t that important, but this kid doesn’t like any of them. He’s like a block of wood..”
