Chapter 580 What is Miss Bai's background?

Bai Tong was not really a fool. She had already understood the meaning of Ling Cang's words, but it would be too embarrassing for her to back out at this time.

So Bai Tong looked at Su Nuan earnestly and asked, "Sister, is it okay?"

Su Nuan showed hesitation on her face, looking very embarrassed.

Bai Tong felt more confident. Looking at Su Nuan's fair and delicate skin, he knew that she was very well maintained.

People like her can't cook. At most, she can knead dough and make snacks. How can she compare to me?

Just when Bai Tong thought Su Nuan would not agree, Su Nuan nodded and said, "Although it is impolite to ask guests to cook, but Miss Bai has repeatedly asked, please help yourself."

This is directly shifting the blame. It's not that we didn't treat you well enough, nor that we don't know how to entertain guests. It was you who repeatedly asked to be a cook. It has nothing to do with us.

Bai Tong didn't expect Su Nuan to speak so smoothly, so she could only go along with what she said.

"My grandmother and aunt both said they loved me like their own daughter. I cooked a few dishes out of filial piety to them."

Su Nuan looked at the old lady with a smile. The old lady's eyelids twitched, giving people a guilty feeling.

Mrs. Xue quickly tried to smooth things over, "Miss Bai, you misunderstood. We were just saying that she looked clever and well-behaved. We wish we had a daughter like her. We would treasure her like a jewel."

She gave an apologetic smile and said, "I'm so sorry for causing Miss Bai to misunderstand."

Even if Bai Tong was thick-skinned, she couldn't hold it back. She immediately lowered her head and said, "I'll make two dishes right now. Please enjoy them."

Su Nuan looked at Ling Cang and asked him with her eyes, "Are you going to send it off?"

Ling Cang understood Su Nuan's look and immediately passed the blame to her, "Xiao Yun, take Miss Bai to the kitchen to prevent her from getting lost."

Ling Yun glared at him and turned his head away stubbornly, pretending he didn't hear.

Su Nuan laughed secretly and said, "Xiao Yun, come and see how the lotus leaf rabbit I made is cooked."

Ling Yun turned around and said softly, "Okay, I'll go right away."

After saying that, he strode out, not caring whether Bai Tong could keep up with him.

Bai Tong originally wanted to be as dignified as Su Nuan, but Ling Yun walked too fast, so she had to run.

When Bai Tong disappeared from view, Su Nuan leaned back in her chair, relaxed, and said lazily, "What a hassle."

The old lady and Mrs. Xue looked at each other, and they both saw mixed emotions of joy and sorrow in each other's eyes.

What makes me happy is that Su Nuan cares about her image in front of other women and is willing to compete with other women for her man.

What worries me is that Ling Cang and Su Nuan don’t see the love that should exist between husband and wife. When I see them getting along, I always feel like something is missing.

Ling Cang looked at Su Nuan. At this moment, she was leaning lazily on the back of the chair. The sunlight shone through the window lattice, casting tiny spots of light on her face, making her blurred eyes seem a little unpredictable.

Su Nuan suddenly turned around and smiled at him, "Husband?"

Ling Cang's body tensed up inexplicably, and he stammered like a child who had done something wrong, "Wh...what's going on?"

Su Nuan didn't expect Ling Cang to react like this. It looked a little funny and a little cute.

She curved her eyebrows and smiled, "Nothing, I just wanted to ask about the origins of this Bai girl."

Ling Cang relaxed and said, "Speaking of which, Miss Bai is also an interesting person. She is Bai Chen's cousin. When she knew that Bai Chen was coming to the Northland, she disguised herself as a man and followed him."

Su Nuan was stunned. It turned out to be Bai Chen's cousin. It seemed that she had mistaken her target.

The woman Ling Cang was thinking of with a nostalgic look in her eyes was definitely not Bai Tong, but Bai Tong definitely had the intention of snatching Ling Cang away.

She was in a dilemma now, not knowing whether to fight to the end or let things take their course.

Xue said, "Cang'er, that Miss Bai...you seem to treat her differently."

She felt that some things had to be brought to the surface to avoid causing greater misunderstandings, which would make it impossible to get along if things got ugly.

The old lady nodded and said, "That's right. Miss Bai is very bold and shameless, and she even misinterprets what others mean. Could this be the daughter of a merchant family?"

"If you're only treating her well because you want to do business with Bai Chen, then you'd better keep your distance to avoid her misunderstanding anything."

Ling Cang knew they had misunderstood when he heard this, so he said solemnly, "There's nothing between me and Miss Bai."

The space spirit couldn't help it, she changed back to her original form and revealed her figure.

"Ling Cang! You're lying with your eyes open. We all saw you and that woman leaving the city together today."

Ling Cang looked at the large sunflower in front of him that looked like a human. He quickly explained, "Today she said she found something good in the mountains, so she took me to see it."

Su Nuan narrowed her eyes. Could it be that the piglets, sheep, and vegetables were all created by Bai Tong?

Xue had never expected such a thing to happen. She said angrily, "Xiao Ling, what did they do when they left the city?"

The space spirit looked at Xue, his big eyes filled with tears, looking very pitiful.

"My master didn't follow. He went hunting directly."

It is not stupid and will not talk about the piglet.

Xue slammed the table and stood up angrily, "Ling Cang, you actually left the city with another woman!"

Seeing his mother's anger, Ling Cang couldn't help but take a step back. "No, after we left the city gate, I asked her to point me in a direction, and I sent someone to check it out."

Su Nuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since Ling Cang didn't go there in person, the matter in the vegetable garden would not be discovered.

After all, other people don’t have Ling Cang’s keen observation skills, and they will just think that animals have dug a few holes.

Ling Cang saw Su Nuan's small gesture of relief, and he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Did Nuan Nuan see anything strange on the mountain?"

Su Nuan immediately played dumb, "What is that?"

Ling Cang didn't say anything. As long as Su Nuan didn't want to say it, he wouldn't ask any further questions.

The old lady asked again: "Cang'er, you will have a chance to recover in the future, haven't you ever thought about the future?"

Ling Cang was a little bewildered, then said with a determined look: "In the future, our Beidi will definitely be the best city in Yuan Country."

The old lady turned her head away angrily and ignored him.

Xue frowned and asked, "Are you pretending to be stupid or do you really not understand what your grandma is asking?"

Ling Cang was silent. There were some questions he didn't want to answer, but why did they still keep asking?

In fact, Su Nuan also wanted to know the answer. She didn’t know how Ling Cang planned his future, and whether she was in his future.

If you don’t have yourself, you have to plan your future well.

Ling Cang looked at Su Nuan and asked, "Is that medicinal ingredient easy to obtain?"

Su Nuan thought for a moment and shook her head. "Although it's not easy to get, I will definitely try my best to find a way to get it for you so that you can fully recover."

Ling Cang nodded without saying anything.

Everyone in the room was silent, each with their own thoughts.

Su Nuan suddenly felt a little lonely. If she had a conflict with Ling Cang, the old lady and her mother-in-law would definitely not help her.

When the space spirit saw Su Nuan looking aggrieved, its protective temper flared up.

It shouted angrily: "Ling Cang, I'm going to eat you!"
