Chapter 121 Live in my house

These words were very useful to Xiao Yu.

The two of them strolled around the capital for a while. Xu Chuchu originally thought that Xiao Yu would take her directly home, but he was very sharp in catching Xu Chuchu's expression as she stole several glances at the Manxiang Restaurant nearby, and he dragged her in reluctantly.

The waiter took them to the "booth" on the third floor facing the street. On one side, it was covered by decorations to avoid suspicion, and on the other side, they could overlook the scenery of the capital outside the building, which was very comfortable.

Xiao Yu must have been here before. As soon as he arrived, he ordered a few signature dishes and added a few more according to Xu Chuchu's taste. They had been together day and night during this period, and he had already understood Xu Chuchu's preferences.

Xu Chuchu's heart skipped a beat when he heard the names of these dishes, but he still pretended to be reserved and said, "Don't order so much. It will be a waste if you can't finish it."

"It's okay." Xiao Yu smiled. "This restaurant is famous for its small and exquisite dishes. Even if they are served, there won't be much."

As expected, the dishes came in small plates of each. Xu Chuchu ate happily, but Xiao Yu hardly moved his chopsticks. He sipped his tea leisurely and admired the way Xu Chuchu's little mouth bulged when she chewed.

"How does it taste?" he asked softly.

"Delicious!" Xu Chuchu exclaimed sincerely. This was simply the most enjoyable meal she had had since she came to ancient times.

Xiao Yu's fingers kept stroking the edge of the teacup, and he asked casually, "The cooking skills of the chef in my house are no worse than those here... Do you want to try it?"

"Yeah!" Xu Chuchu nodded without hesitation with her mouth full.

Xiao Yu exhaled quietly: "Well, why not live in my house? It will be convenient if you need anything. I mean, business."

The more he spoke, the softer his voice became.

"What are you talking about?" Xu Chuchu was amused by his words. "You are the landlord, you wouldn't be so cruel as to refuse to take me in and send me to stay in an inn alone, right?"

She had prepared to live in Xiao Yu's house from the beginning, thinking that his house must be very big and he would definitely be able to squeeze out an empty room for her.

"Why, how could that be? Of course I'll take him in." Xiao Yu said hurriedly.

His heart was beating fast as Xu Chuchu said that. When he heard the words "What are you talking about?", he thought he was going to be scolded. Fortunately, he found out that was not what she meant.

God, she really wanted to live in his house.

She should know what it means for a woman to live with an unmarried man. It means that the two of them are engaged and willing to tie the knot.

Along the way, he was worried about what to do after Xu Chuchu came to the capital.

Inviting her to live in his house is too frivolous.

Let's go to an inn together. It seems a bit strange that one family doesn't stay in an inn.

Xiao Yu lives at home, and Xu Chuchu stays in an inn...it seems even weirder.

After much thought, I decided to give it a try and unexpectedly Xu Chuchu agreed immediately.

If Xiao Yu were a modern person, he would quietly clench his fist under the table and shout "Ah, YES" in his heart.

Just as the two of them were thinking about their own things, a sarcastic voice suddenly came from the side.

"Tsk tsk, who was I then? It turned out to be our Fourth Brother. How come Fourth Brother returned to Beijing without informing us?" A strange man suddenly approached, followed by several followers, and shouted, "No, no, you can't call him Fourth Brother. You have to call him our famous 'Master Xiao'."

Xu Chuchu felt something was wrong when she heard it, so she put down her chopsticks and looked over.

The man looked to be in his thirties, dressed in luxurious clothes. He didn't look fat, but his face was greasy.

His hair was tied up tightly, his hairline was high, and he had two tufts of the traitorous mustache that Xu Chuchu hated the most.

As soon as you get closer, you can smell the strong smell of alcohol on him. It seems that he has drunk quite a lot.

Who is this person? Xiao Yu's enemy in the capital?

She turned to look at Xiao Yu, but saw Xiao Yu calmly took a bite of food without even glancing at the person who came.

The visitor didn't get angry when he saw this. Instead, he said with a smile, "Oh, so cold, second brother, I'm just concerned. After all, when you left Beijing, you said you would never come back in this lifetime."

"Oh!" He suddenly slapped his thigh again. "No, no, how can I call myself the 'Second Brother' of the honorable Young Master Xiao? Young Master Xiao said in person that he doesn't want a bunch of stinky relatives like us."

His expression was exaggerated, and after he finished speaking, several followers behind him also laughed exaggeratedly, as if they were competing to see who could laugh the loudest and the loudest in order to receive a reward.

If Xu Chuchu didn't understand at this time, he would be a fool. It was obvious that he was also one of the people in the capital who laughed at Xiao Yu's strange illness. Moreover, he seemed to have the confidence to make trouble in front of him, unlike the officials he met before, who were submissive on the surface but attacked him hard behind his back.

Xiao Yu took a sip of tea and smiled faintly, "It's been a while since we last met. Second brother is out tasting wine again. Why didn't you invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to join you this time? I'm sure His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be happy to see you drinking and having fun."

"Don't threaten me with the Crown Prince!" The man puffed his beard and glared. "You consider the Crown Prince an ally, but he treats you like shit!"

His gaze slid down to Xu Chuchu, who was sitting across from Xiao Yu and looking at him coldly. "I heard you've been doing justice outside these years, you look so impressive. How come you found a good match so soon? Whose family is she from? She's quite pretty."

"You don't deserve to know." When it came to Xu Chuchu, Xiao Yu's attitude obviously changed.

"What about your lecherous little secret? Does anyone know it?" the man squinted his eyes and said, "Oh, I know. This is the girl you raped when you were sick, right?"

He glanced at a maid holding a dish next to him, who was trying to go around to serve the guests on the other side. Suddenly, he had an idea, grabbed the maid's collar, and threw it at Xiao Yu.

"Catch it, hero!" he shouted. "Don't let the girl fall!"

"Ah!" The maid was so shocked that the food plate was spilled out at an angle.

Seeing that the maid was losing her balance and about to fall onto Xiao Yu, the man felt relieved.

His tried-and-tested pleasure over the years was to push women towards Xiao Yu.

With Xiao Yu's skills, he could of course dodge easily, but the woman would fall to the ground, lying sprawled on the ground, which was very funny. Some would even look at Xiao Yu with disappointment.

It would be even more interesting if Xiao Yu caught the person. He would become ill and embarrassed on the spot, as if he had taken an aphrodisiac.

There were several times before when he deliberately banged the woman's head against the corner of the table or the pillar. Xiao Yu was really kind-hearted and supported the woman, then ran away with his head down and his body tucked in like a rat crossing the street.

Yes, yes, a few years ago when Xiao Yu had not yet learned martial arts, he could be tied to a pillar so that everyone passing by could see how ugly he looked when he was sick.

Hey, it’s quite big, quite enviable.

Unfortunately, this guy later learned martial arts and knew to bring followers with him, so he couldn't be tied up...

The visitor was lost in the fond memories of bullying Xiao Yu in the past, with a lewd smile on his face.
