His gaze lowers at his brother's reaction, but his smile widens in unashamed joy as he straightens back into almost a pure vision of propriety. The slap to his shoulder actually earns a quiet chuckle - his cheeks might even be a little pink!
"We have to be careful, da ge, but yes." He would prefer not to anger those who had taken such good care of him. And falling for one of their servants definitely fell into that category. But he can't deny his heart...or his beloved's.
"Whichever we have will be perfect and taught by us both." No daughter or son of his would be unable to protect themselves!
"You already have a solid place to hide in as I recall. Though you'll need to move eventually." But for now there was time to celebrate. He smiled as the bottles were set at their tables and he slid one over to his brother.
"Forget the cups. We drink deep. I'll make sure you get home safely."
It's the moving that worries him now, but that's in the future. There's plenty of time to make plans for how to make that safe.
Today is for celebrating. And his brother is right, the promise makes a grin impossible to resist, though there's an undeniable fondness to it. "You always do."
Jiang Feng is a bit picky about who he drinks heavily with - Yan Nantian is on that short list. He bows his head a little at the server, silently thanking him (in addition to the generous payment) for the work.
But there's a tease in his eyes, hinted also in his voice. "And if I stick with the cup?"
"Then I will out drink you and you will have to get me to my rooms instead." Which wasn't going to happen because Yan Nantian grabbed both cups. Eyeing them, he smirked then threw them over his shoulder and out the window. No cups for them.
"Drink, er di."
He pulled a long swallow from his bottle and sighed as he lowered it. "When did you two find out?"
"Da ge…" He sighs, as if in displeasure, but the smile can't be contained and he obliges the older man by finally taking the bottle placed before him, and drinking.
Jiang Feng settles a little in his seat, though still just proper enough most wouldn't know he's relaxing between the wine and the company.
"She suspected just over a month ago. Then we got confirmation." So yes. They've been quiet. And busy.
Chuckling, he shook his head at that. Those two were so deeply in love. Of course they would have ended up pregnant after they went into hiding. It was charming, like the stories of legend.
It was just what he wanted for Jiang Feng.
"You two will have very handsome children too. Just look at you both," he took another pull of his alcohol. "I'll have to make sure to show them my own tricks as well. Starting with this first one."
