Cheng Yuanjing put down the teacup, couldn’t bear to listen anymore. Cheng Yujin also felt goosebumps all over her body. She stroked her arms calmly and smiled: “Second sister and Marquis Huo’s relationship is very close. It is a good thing that newlyweds are close and affectionate. Do you want me and Ninth Uncle to move to another place?”
“No need.” Cheng Yumo took Huo Changyuan’s hand and sat on the chairs opposite Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yuanjing. Although Cheng Yumo had the memory of her previous life, she had just been married in this life, and was still very shy. When she was at Jingyong Marquis Manor, she put on a new bride’s demeanor and wouldn’t take such initiative to get close with Huo Changyuan. But now in front of Cheng Yujin, for some inexplicable reason, Cheng Yumo couldn’t help but want to get closer to Huo Changyuan, as if getting back to their previous life.
Cheng Yumo pulled Huo Changyuan to sit down. Huo Changyuan wanted to struggle, but he was pressed by Cheng Yumo. After they sat down, Cheng Yumo smiled and asked: “When I came out just now, I saw the three of you talked very harmoniously. What are older sister and Ninth Uncle talking about, why are you smiling so happily?”
“Oh, this.” Cheng Yujin’s face was full of smiles. Her eyes bent into crescents, shining brilliantly. Huo Changyuan suddenly had a bad hunch, but before he could react, Cheng Yujin already said: “We just talked about the issue of addressing each other. Now second younger sister and Marquis are married, calling him ‘Marquis Huo’ seems too distant. Since we are now one family, we naturally have to address each other according to the family’s seniority. Second sister, don’t you think so?”
Cheng Yumo didn’t know what had happened just now. After listening to Cheng Yujin’s explanation, she felt it made sense and nodded subconsciously: “Naturally so.”
Cheng Yujin smiled triumphantly. Cheng Yuanjing glanced at her helplessly. Even so, his eyes were full of smiles.
Cheng Yujin continued saying: “Second sister’s thought is exactly the same as mine. According to the family’s seniority, I should call Marquis Huo’ second younger brother-in-law.’ But then Marquis Huo should call us’ eldest sister’ and ‘uncle.’ Marquis Huo, you won’t refuse, right?”
Cheng Yuanjing shook his head, “I don’t care about addressing.”
Cheng Yujin quickly turned around and glared at him. Without blinking an eyelid, Cheng Yuanjing immediately changed his narrative: “However, marriage is to tie two surnames. So changing the way of addressing is to show sincerity.”
Cheng Yujin was satisfied. She turned her head back to Cheng Yumo and Huo Changyuan with a smile. Cheng Yumo didn’t have any opinion. After hearing Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yuanjing’s words, she thought that everything made sense, so she nodded: “Elder sister and Ninth Uncle are right. If my sister called me ‘Marchioness,’ wouldn’t it be weird? A family shouldn’t be so distant.”

Cheng Yujin’s smile deepened. She looked at Huo Changyuan with bright eyes and asked again: “Second younger brother-in-law, what do you think?”
Of course Huo Changyuan didn’t want to agree. But Cheng Yumo was next to him, looking at him eagerly. After all, it was the wife he took the great effort to marry, who used her own body to warm him on the snowy night. Huo Changyuan still felt tenderness towards Cheng Yumo. If he rebutted her and didn’t save her face in public, Cheng Yumo would inevitably feel bothered after they went back, thinking that he refused because he still harbored old feelings towards Cheng Yujin.
Huo Changyuan couldn’t help but look at Cheng Yujin again. Cheng Yujin’s eyes were full of smiles, shining brilliantly. Huo Changyuan couldn’t stand the ridicule in those eyes, but also couldn’t help but want to obey—he couldn’t bear to make her disappointed.
Huo Changyuan was forced by multiple pressures and said grimly: “Naturally so. Since I have married Mo’er, I should follow the addressing of Mo’er’s generation. Ninth Uncle, eldest sister.”
Cheng Yujin’s eyes suddenly brightened, and she quickly turned her face aside. Otherwise, she would have been laughing on the spot. Cheng Yuanjing didn’t care about seniority at all. Hearing Huo Changyuan called her ‘uncle’ didn’t give him any feelings. But seeing Cheng Yujin so happy, he couldn’t help but gave her another helpless and pampering gaze.
Cheng Yujin managed to hold back her laugh. She turned her head and nodded very affectionately: “Yes, second younger brother-in-law.”
Cheng Yuanjing smiled even more.
Huo Changyuan felt so awkward after calling Cheng Yujin’ eldest sister.’ Fortunately at this time, the Old Madam’s mama came out and announced: “Ninth master, eldest miss, second young lady, second young master-in-law, why are you here? The noon meal is ready.”
Huo Changyuan let out a long sigh of relief and stood up quickly: “Okay, we are coming.”
Huo Changyuan got up, and Cheng Yumo quickly followed. Cheng Yujin was after them. Having satisfied, she stood up contentedly. Just after she suppressed the smile on her face, her forehead was knocked lightly by Cheng Yuanjing.
He stood before her and said indulgingly: “Naughty.”
Cheng Yujin looked up at him directly: “Ninth Uncle, I even made him call you’ uncle.’ How can you demolish the bridge after crossing the river1?”
Cheng Yuanjing glanced at her without hiding the smile in his eyes: “Don’t say such a nonsense next time.”
Do not read this novel at wattpad or other, places. Thanks!
Cheng Yujin refused to accept this statement. She walked next to Cheng Yuanjing and defended herself vehemently: “How can this be nonsense? Isn’t Cheng Yumo my younger sister? Huo Changyuan is Cheng Yumo’s husband, him calling me elder sister is natural. Why did it become nonsense?”

Cheng Yuanjing turning on a dime and changing his tune to indulge Yujin is sooooo fun!
Thank you for the translation <3
I love it. They’re not together, yet, but still act like a power couple. 😍😍😍😍😍
I love how they always have tacit understanding about nearly everything.. As if they have had married for soooo long.
Ohhhh Yumo, just pee on him already if you want to declare your territory 🤨
And love that Jing’er, already so obedient to his Furen ♥️😆
HAHAHAHA They were like old couple bickering already. 🤣🤣 when she glared at him for giving the wrong answer he immediately changed his tune. 🤣🤣🤣
Their relationship was built up so slowly but feels quite natural now, i cant believe Yujin hasn’t noticed yet, but then again I can I her last life her husband cheated on her and left her to die and as we’ve seen from her thoughts she thinks men don’t like her and won’t be attracted to her, also she feels such safety with him without realizing that she shows her true self to him and can feel safe because he’s the crown prince and he’s about to leave and she’ll never see him again.
Such a perfect girl having such sad thoughts and not recognizing herself …… Hopefully it ends soon and she can lead the happy carefree life she wants.
That hou-whatever guy sure is fickle sack of sh*t, no matter what you’ve already married Yumo why are you casually coming and chatting up her sister with such impure thoughts?
I love how slowly and steadily the FL and ML’s relationship has developed. It’s built on trust and respect, and it’s really enjoyable to read. I’ll be sad with them when they have to part ways (temporarily of course).
Thank you for your wonderful translations!
I love how CYJ has to have the moral upper ground … even against the crown prince hehe
Ahh i love their dynamic so much I — djsiaidnkaksks it’s the banter and inside jokes for me!!,!,!,
This Marquis Huo will feel bad and uncomfortable to one of the sister if he married the other one, after all he just a selfish man.
It kind of reminds me of Sense & Sensibility.
Side character guy is “in love” with one girl, but his family pretty much gives him an ultimatum. Marry her and the family won’t be able afford our current standard of living. He can’t live without money so he marries an heiress instead.
He ends up regretting losing his “love” once his livelihood is stable.
If he had chosen love, he would have regretted the fall of his family fortunes and losing his own comforts.
Yuanjing was like “don’t drag me into this” but after one glare he’s like “my Yujin is always right” lol
Oh Boy…he totally whipped ain’t he?…
Oh he definitely is hahaha
Blergh, I really hate couples like that, not to mention the pair is CYM and HCY.
Reminds me of a disgusting couple at a public swimming pool/sauna who followed me from one area to another just for me to return after them stalking me for the 4-5th time, went back to the original spot just for them to come back and start making out w/o right across from me again. It was shortly before closing time, the place was rather empty and there were plentiful of areas where they could’ve enjoyed their public stunt but no, gotta do it when I wanted to chill by myself.
Turned into a core memory from my childhood. Couples that make out in front of you just purely for the ‘thrills’ or whatnot, deserve a beating.
w/o; with each other* gosh, my anger stumped my thinking.
