Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

Mrs. Sai suddenly asked these two questions, leaving Zhou Xinyue stunned.

Didn't I just give my last name and meet her? Why did she ask these two questions? Did I speak too softly just now and she didn't hear me? Maybe she's too old. At worst, I can just give it again.

Zhou Xinyue performed the kneeling ceremony of the Ding Kingdom again, and shouted with all her strength: "I, Zhou, pay my respects to the city lord and wish him everlasting happiness. I pay my respects to the Immortal Lord Sai Laoshou and sincerely wish him everlasting happiness, longevity, and peace and prosperity!"

Zhou Xinyue didn't say anything else after she yelled. She just wanted to wait and see what this old lady Sai would say and how she would react.

This was the first time that Old Lady Sai heard such words of blessing and the first time that she heard someone call her Immortal Lady. She was very happy.

He said: "The blessing sounds fresh and I like it very much. Why do you compare an old man like me to an immortal?"

Zhou Xinyue smiled and said, "People often say that living to 80 is rare since ancient times. The old Immortal Lord Sai has sharp ears and eyes, and an 80-year-old immortal is very rare in the world. I am lucky enough to witness this most auspicious and rare immortal in the world today. I feel that I am the happiest person in the world right now."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xinyue's words made Old Lady Sai burst into laughter.

Because Zhou Xinyue's words were so pleasing to the ear, Old Madam Sai turned to the city lord and said, "Grandson, I like the girl you found this time. She's so sweet and talkative. You must send her to my little courtyard when the time comes. I listen to her talk every day, hahaha!"

When Zhou Xinyue heard this, she immediately became anxious. She came all the way from Longding to Bazhi not just to marry into the city lord's mansion.

"Master Sai, you misunderstood. I am not the city lord's woman. I am just a pastry maker."

Madam Sai was confused and turned to look at an elderly maid next to her.

The elderly maid should be the personal maid of this old lady Sai.

The maid talked in Madam Sai's ear for a while, and she understood and nodded.

"So you are the chef responsible for making cakes for my birthday."

Zhou Xinyue nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Old Immortal Sai."

The old lady Sai said with some disappointment: "Alas, I thought you were the beauty my grandson brought into the house recently. Girl, what do you think of my grandson? My grandson is handsome, is..."

"Immortal Sai, I am married and have two children. My husband is at home taking care of the children. I am so worried about my two children. My husband is a clumsy person, I don't know how he took care of the children all day. However, helping Immortal Sai to make cakes is definitely more important than taking care of the children."

Unexpectedly, when Zhou Xinyue said this, the city lord and the old lady Sai blurted out at the same time: "What? You got married?"

Zhou Xinyue nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, I have been married for five or six years. The one behind me is my sister. We share the same husband and have a very good relationship."

The stars kept nodding, kept nodding.

After Zhou Xinyue finished speaking, she secretly glanced at the city lord. The city lord's face was very dark, and his pair of deep eyes just stared at Zhou Xinyue without saying a word.

But this old lady laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to have been married for so many years. It's amazing. After all, from the outside, you are still a young girl. I can only say that you look too young, which gave us an illusion."

Zhou Xinyue laughed a few times and quickly replied: "I'm really sorry."

"You originally came to the mansion for my birthday gift, but by some strange coincidence, you managed to save my grandson. I called you here tonight because my grandson must have his own ideas. As a grandmother, I want to say thank you to you first. If it weren't for your timely rescue, I'm afraid my ignorant grandson would have lost his life. Please stand up and take a seat."

Zhou Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief and felt her feet were numb from squatting.

Zhou Xinyue quickly bowed and knelt down to express her gratitude.

When I was about to stand up after thanking him, I don’t know if it was because I had been squatting for too long, I couldn’t stand up and fell to my knees again.

No one expected that a dark shadow flashed by, and the city lord suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Xinyue and helped her up with a pair of big hands.

"Are you okay? Don't move."

A very low voice sounded, and it actually came from the city lord's mouth.

After he said this, he crossed his arms and held Zhou Xinyue in his arms, then walked directly to the first seat on the lower right side.

Some of the other women at the table were slightly surprised, while others were used to it.

But the expression on Mrs. Sai's face was somewhat amusing.

"My grandson is really a grateful person. Haha, he is a little more enthusiastic towards his benefactor. Madam Zhou, please don't mind it."

Zhou Xinyue could tell that she was trying to smooth things over and felt a little embarrassed. After all, she had said so bluntly that she was married and even had a child, so his behavior was a little inappropriate.

Zhou Xinyue looked at the city lord who was tall and strong, and felt really safe and secure when he easily picked her up.

Zhou Xinyue saw him looking at her passionately. His eyelashes were long and curly, black and thick. His eyes with a hint of blue were like the ocean, deep and mysterious. His high nose bridge seemed to reach the clouds, and his red lips, which were neither thick nor thin, looked better than those of a woman.

People often say that mixed-race children are good-looking. I didn’t think so before, and I didn’t have any feeling about it, until today when I observed and watched them so closely. This intuitive feeling really gives people a visual impact. They really look different from me. In a word, they are really good-looking.

Zhou Xinyue looked into his eyes, thinking quietly and in a daze, and even lost her mind for a moment.

Soon the city lord carried Zhou Xinyue to her seat.

In a deep and concerned voice, he asked, "Are you okay? Are your legs still weak? Where does it hurt? I'll ask the palace doctor to take a look at you."

Zhou Xinyue came back to her senses and said hurriedly, "Thank you, City Lord. I am fine. Maybe my feet are numb from kneeling for too long and I didn't react for a while. Thank you for your concern."

Unexpectedly, the city lord whispered in Zhou Xinyue's ear: "You saved my life, and my action is nothing now. I want to really thank you, but I wonder if you are willing to give me a chance?"

After saying this, the city lord came very close to Zhou Xinyue, as if his lips were about to touch Zhou Xinyue's lips.

This made Zhou Xinyue's heart beat wildly.

Zhou Xinyue turned her face away nervously, not wanting to meet his fiery gaze head-on.

This is too embarrassing. Can't he restrain himself with so many people around?
