Chapter 145 Love is More Than Like (1)

“My big brother?” Su Shuilian listened to the latest news reported by Guangci House through Lin Si Yao. She opened her mouth in surprise. “How could it be?” 

“You don’t believe it?” Lin Si Yao smiled and hugged her, helped her sit down. He rubbed her round belly, which was a little plump now. Occasionally he could hear the tiny beating sounds from inside. 

“I’m a little surprised.” Su Shuilian unconsciously hugged his head, gently rubbing his somewhat rough hair. Her brain was still processing the information she had just received. “Why would my brother do that?” He had no reason to do so. Let alone this place was so far away from the imperial city, it wasn’t any big or lively city. He came to Fan Luo City to become the Castellan, which wasn’t different from self-demoting. Could it be that…  

“Did my brother… have any dispute with the Emperor?” It was the most possible possibility she could come up with. puretl.com is the original translator, please do not repost

“I don’t know. He didn’t tell me.” Lin Si Yao’s lazy voice came from her belly. He was sticking his ear onto her belly to feel the movement of the baby. Then, he turned to one side and closed his eyes.

“… All right then, even if it’s true, I can’t help him.” Su Shuilian sighed, lowering her voice. 

“How can we not be able to help? He wants us to buy a house nearby for him.” Lin Si Yao hugged her waist, gently patted her and comforted. 

“Buy a house? The Castellan… has the Castellan’s mansion, doesn’t he?” She heard that it was situated in the center road of Fan Luo City, a five-arc mansion that was considered the biggest and most luxurious house in the entire city. 

“It’s different.” Lin Si Yao chuckled. He sat up and pulled her into his chest, holding her fair-skinned, small hand and gently rubbing it. Compared to his thick and dark-skinned hand, he couldn’t imagine how it could be so different between a man and a woman’s hand. 

“If he leaves the city, he can just stay with us, right?” Su Shuilian frowned in confusion. In principle, the Fan Hua Private Mansion belonged to Prince Jing’s mansion’s properties. Did Liang En Zai not want to stay in Fan Hua Private Mansion? 

“Your brother’s idea was to follow us. He wants to build the neighboring town into his own private mansion.” Lin Si Yao slowly told her Liang En Zai’s plan. So, the three small towns outside Fan Luo City were actually the auspicious land that attracted birds and people? Everybody wanted to come here and build a private mansion. 

One month ago, his father, who had shown up from nowhere, had used the name of a foregin wealthy man to buy the entire Qing Tian Town. Recently, they were carrying out the mass renovation of the town. And now, his brother-in-law, Liang En Zai, also wanted a part. It seemed Luo Shui Town couldn’t escape either. 

“Private mansion?” Oh gosh, spare her! Within one year, the only three outskirt towns of Fan Luo City were all bought?! 

“Why did my big brother need to do that?” What a waste of money. Just one house was sufficient. Why would he need one here and one there?puretl.com is the original translator, please do not repost  

“It’s good to do so anyway. After that, we can combine three towns into one. Town is in town. It would be much safer.” Lin Si Yao had always paid attention to his housing safety. 

After receiving the message from Liang En Zai, he had a clear intention, and he could also guess the reason why Liang En Zai had proactively asked to become the new Castellan of Fan Luo City. 

To be exact, initially, Liang En Zai only wanted to build his own private mansion here. However, as the three towns now belong to one family, for safety purposes, they would eventually merge the three towns into one. In the future, this area would likely become the place that even the Fan Luo City’s Castellan would fear. 

Thus, Liang En Zai had proactively applied to be the Castellan here. At least, during the course of eight years of his office, they would have enough time to complete the renovation for the private mansions and make it the territory of a force that the next Castellan had to respect but couldn’t do anything to eradicate it.  

“But will the villagers agree?” Su Shuilian was still worried. 

“Well, reality has proved this, right?” Fan Hua Town was a good example, and so was Qing Tian Town. There was only satisfaction on the faces of the villagers from the two towns. No one felt annoyed or anything. 

Lin Si Yao smiled and supported her to get up. “Let’s go. It’s almost time. We need to return and have lunch.” 

Since she had been pregnant for three months, Yang Jing Zhi had suggested she walk around the corridor twice a day, which would help her deliver better after four coming months. 

Although it wasn’t a pair of twins this time and the danger at her labor had reduced, her belly wasn’t smaller than the first time being pregnant. Compared to Feng Ruo Er, who was bearing twins, their sizes were still very similar. 

It made Lin Si Yao worried a lot. The baby was big and the mother was petite. It may be a difficult delivery. So, as long as he was home, he would accompany her walk twice a day. puretl.com is the original translator, please do not repost

“A Yao, will Si Luo come home by Lunar New Year?” Remembering Jiang Ying Jue’s visit yesterday, Su Shuilian couldn’t help but ask. 

“What? Do you need him for something?” Lin Si Yao arched his brow. It was really rare that his wife mentioned another man’s name in front of him. He was surprised. 

Su Shuilian noticed his jealousy in his voice. She smiled, patting his arm. “What are you thinking about!? I know Jiang Ying Yun has good feelings for Si Luo, but I didn’t expect it to be really deep. If Si Luo has…some special feeling toward her, why don't they frankly confess to each other?” One buried herself in working to kill time, while one was hiding to avoid the problem.
