Chapter 151 Drunk Wang Yunong

The next morning, Lin Xi was awakened by a knock on the door.

She was in a daze and sleepy at this moment, and had no intention of getting up at all.

I thought if I ignored it, the person outside would calm down, but after a while, the person outside knocked on the door again persistently.

Helpless, Lin Xi had to wipe his face with clean water and went to open the door.

"Excuse me, who is this..."

Lin Xi stared at Wang Yunong in front of him in a daze. The other party was also genuinely surprised, probably not expecting that it was Lin Xi who came to open the door.

Soon, Wang Yunong adjusted the emotion on her face and pretended to be relaxed, "You made such a big noise last night without telling me anything. You guys, weren't hurt?"

"You know what happened yesterday?" It seemed that the news spread faster than she thought.

"The people in the inn were kidnapped. How could such a big thing be kept secret?" Wang Yunong smiled. "After all, we are friends. It's a bit unethical to not tell anyone about such a big thing."

"It happened suddenly, and I didn't have time to think so much." Lin Xi said.

"Don't get involved in our affairs in the future."

While the two were talking, Xiao Yongyan's voice suddenly rang out.

Lin Xi looked over and saw him holding a tray, apparently going to get breakfast.

Xiao Yongyan put the things on the table and said to Wang Yunong calmly, "Xi'er and I are now exiled people, guilty, even worse than ordinary people. It's not good for the people of your Wang family in the capital to be involved with us."

Wang Yunong's eyes showed a hurt look, but she quickly concealed it and said brightly, "What are you talking about? We have known each other since childhood. No matter who you are, we are friends. How can I be that powerful?"

Xiao Yongyan said calmly, "This has nothing to do with power or not. This is the fact. Ever since we were exiled from the capital, we have been on different sides."

"Xiao Yongyan, what do you mean by that?" Wang Yunong couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. "No matter what happened to you, I have never been like others who would kick you when you are down. Now you say this as if I am a villain."

"Miss Wang, you misunderstood." After saying that, Xiao Yongyan changed the subject and said, "My wife and I still need to have dinner. Please help yourself, Miss Wang."

After saying that, he closed the door on his own initiative.

Through the crack in the door, Lin Xi clearly saw tears hanging on Wang Yunong's eyelashes.

Lin Xi couldn't help but disagree, "Why do you have to talk to her like that? I think she is really sad."

Xiao Yongyan placed the dishes on the table one by one. "If I don't speak harshly, she might not understand. The Wang family has always been moderate and does not participate in any court struggles. If she gets close to us, once others find out, they will definitely make a big fuss. What's more, at her age, she can't have such rumors."

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, then she understood, "Every word you say is to drive me away, but in fact, every word you say is to be considerate of others. If I were not your wife, I would be so moved that I would cry."

It turns out that from the beginning to the end, Xiao Yongyan had been thinking about Wang Yunong.

"Xi'er," Xiao Yongyan held Lin Xi's hand and forced her to look at him, "Listen to me, I only have you in this life. As for Miss Wang, I only treat her as a younger sister and have never had any romantic feelings for her."

Lin Xi understood the reason, but some small emotions could not be resolved by just understanding the reason.

"Okay, stop making amends for yourself," Lin Xi said, "eat."

Xiao Yongyan said no more. Xi'er was a smart girl, she would definitely understand his feelings. It just took some time for her to digest her emotions.

"I heard that the sea bass in Xucheng is the most famous. I'll take you there to eat it at noon." Xiao Yongyan said.

Lin Xi didn’t care whether they had sea bass or some other fish for lunch, but she liked to see Xiao Yongyan being nice to her.

There was nothing to do, so Xiao Yongyan and Lin Xi wandered around outside for the whole day and bought a lot of things before returning to the inn.

As dusk fell, Lin Xi looked at the pile of books Xiao Yongyan had bought and was speechless. "How am I going to take all this stuff back?"

Xiao Yongyan smiled indifferently, "These are all materials bought for students, just drop them off at the school."

Xiao Yongyan's words woke Lin Xi up. She suddenly thought that her family was already preparing to start producing rice paper, so it shouldn't be difficult to print it afterwards.

"What do you think? Should we open a bookshop and print and sell our own books?" Lin Xi asked.

Xiao Yongyan looked at Lin Xi with surprise in his eyes, "Madam is really obsessed with business. Can she turn anything into money?"

"Don't interrupt me, just tell me if it's okay or not?" Lin Xi said, "I know nothing about books, so if we open a bookshop, you will definitely be the one to take care of it, so that others won't always accuse you of being a gigolo."

"Yes, I'll listen to you, madam. You have to be independent and strong for your husband, and I should obey you." Xiao Yongyan chuckled.

But with his look, Lin Xi always felt that he was not serious, "Don't be so playful, I'm talking to you about serious matters."

"Yes, as my wife ordered, I will start the bookstore after I return." Xiao Yongyan said, imitating Lin Xi's tone.

"You, why are you imitating others to speak like that!" Lin Xi was a little embarrassed and annoyed, and the two of them started to make a scene.

At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door and Lin Xi went to open it.

But he didn't expect that as soon as the door opened, a figure fell directly into Lin Xi's arms.

She looked carefully and found that it was none other than Wang Yunong who was angered and left by Xiao Yongyan in the morning.

"Ms. Wang, wake up." Lin Xi could hardly hold on. Such a big person falling on her was quite heavy.

Xiao Yongyan was also very helpless and couldn't go forward to help, so he had to move a bench. Only then did Lin Xi carefully put the person on the bench.

"How much did he drink to become like this?" Lin Xi sighed.

Wang Yunong, who was leaning on a chair, had a red face, staggered from side to side, and reeked of alcohol. He looked up at Lin Xi and smiled bitterly, "Miss Lin, do you know how much I envy you?"

Lin Xi was a little embarrassed by being called "Miss Lin" and couldn't help but correct her, "I'm already married, so I'm not a girl anymore."

"Oh, by the way, you are Madam Xiao now." Wang Yunong murmured, "Madam Xiao..."

"Do you know what Xiao Yongyan said? She said we are not the same kind of people. Bah, what does he say count? Living under the feet of the emperor, born of noble family, my Wang family has been prosperous for a hundred years, the regent has great power in the court, and he has never had a hard day. How can we become different people?"

"When I was a child, I saved his life in a pond. He was still a child at that time, innocent and unaware of what others had done to him. If it weren't for me, he would have drowned in the pond. If a man had saved a woman, they would have been engaged to each other. But my father didn't want to do that and severely punished me."

"I never told Xiao Yongyan about this, because I... I thought he was good. Who would have thought that the regent would choose the daughter of the Lin family after so many choices."
