Chapter 75 A Strange Young Couple
Looking at the contents of the letter, neither of them looked too happy.
Wei Laicheng, in particular, looked frustrated and incredulous.
"How could anyone be so shameless as to take what belongs to others and then talk about it so righteously?"
In the letter, Mrs. Jiang said that the Wang family in Beijing had sent someone to contact her, saying they wanted to acquire her skincare product formula.
Although she had already refused, based on her understanding of the Wang family, she knew they would definitely take other actions to prepare the two of them.
"Honey, what if they buy our stuff and take it back to analyze the ingredients?"
Compared to Wei Laicheng's anxiety, Jiang Xixi appeared much calmer.
After all, the most important ingredient in Jiang Xixi's skincare products is koi dew, which is unique to her.
"Don't scare yourself. It's not so easy to replicate what I make," Jiang Xixi comforted her.
That being said, my mood was indeed affected.
The train tickets were booked directly by Mrs. Jiang and mailed to me in an envelope.
In addition, the time they had arranged with the Friendship Store was a bit tight, so the two of them set off immediately, fearing that something might go wrong.
...
In the sleeper berth of the train
"Honey, are you thirsty? Shall I go get you some hot water?"
Wei Laicheng had scallion pancakes for breakfast. They were delicious, but the seasoning seemed a bit too strong, and his mouth felt a little dry.
“There is a bit, please make sure to bring more.” Jiang Xixi handed Wei Laicheng a water bottle, then took out a book on traditional Chinese medicine and continued reading.
As Wei Laicheng was walking out, a young couple walked in.
Upon seeing Jiang Xixi, the woman greeted her warmly.
"Hey sis, my guy is sleeping right above you. Could you please take care of him for me? I'd really appreciate it."
At first glance, you might not see anything wrong with this statement, but if you think about it a second time, you'll realize something is amiss.
What do you mean she took care of him? Her husband is such a grown man, can't he take care of himself? He doesn't look like someone who can't take care of himself!
"Big sister, it might not be convenient." Jiang Xixi looked up, her eyes showing surprise, and politely declined.
"What's inconvenient about it? We're sleeping in the same bed, so I'm just asking you to take care of me. What's inconvenient about that?"
The woman's voice was really loud, so loud that Jiang Xixi covered her ears.
"Inconvenient is inconvenient," Jiang Xixi said coldly, exuding an aura that suggested she was not to be trifled with.
After saying that, she looked down at her book again, but she hadn't absorbed any of the content and was full of doubts.
Although I didn't get a clear look at that last glance, didn't the couple's appearances seem a bit mismatched?
The man was incredibly handsome, with the arrogance of a young master. The woman, well, she wasn't bad, but she dressed like a country girl, her skin was a bit rough, and her movements were somewhat rude.
After hearing Jiang Xixi's refusal, the woman clearly wanted to argue, but was stopped by the man next to her.
"Why are you shouting so loudly? Aren't you ashamed? Go back to your seat, I can take care of myself."
"I'm not scared~"
"Qian Huahua, can you stop following me around like a shadow all day? You're annoying, you know? I've ridden a train before, do you think everyone's like you, a country bumpkin who's never seen the world?"
Jiang Xixi looked up at the farce.
Go to your seat?
Was this woman not in a soft sleeper berth?
A young couple, the man in the most expensive soft sleeper and the woman in the cheapest hard seat, it has to be said, this combination is quite rare.
"I know, the food is all in the bundle. Eat something if you get hungry later. I brought some chili sauce Mom made; isn't it your favorite?"
Before Qian Huahua could finish speaking, the man interrupted her.
The man's face showed a look of disgust.
"I'll say it again, I don't like it, I don't like anything in your house, including you, get out!"
Qian Huahua's eyes were clearly brimming with tears, but she held them back and nodded as she walked out.
Jiang Xixi saw that the girl seemed to wipe something with her sleeve as she turned around.
The carriage fell silent. Jiang Xixi continued reading on the bed, while the young man sat on the opposite bed, looking out the window with a somewhat sad expression.
"Wife, hold this in your arms, it will keep you warm."
It was already December in Liaoning Province, which was very cold. There was no heating on the train at this time, and sitting on the bed felt like sitting in an ice cellar.
Why did you take so long?
Feeling the warmth in her arms, Jiang Xixi smiled, but she didn't forget to care about Wei Laicheng.
"It's probably because it's cold, everyone is going to get hot water, and the hot water supply at the dining car is a bit tight. I waited for a while. By the way, honey, what are you having for lunch? It's getting late."
Jiang Xixi rolled her eyes in an unseemly manner.
This guy, he's only had breakfast for a short while and he's already thinking about lunch.
However, he's a grown man, and it's cold outside, so he probably did expend a lot of energy.
He casually replied, "I have some steamed buns in my bag, let's make do with that for now."
"Huh? Just steamed buns?"
Wei Laicheng's disappointment was palpable.
Thinking of the juicy, oily braised pork and the golden-brown eggplant fritters, Wei Laicheng inwardly groaned, realizing he was destined to miss out on these delicacies.
Having lived with him for some time now, Jiang Xixi could tell what he was thinking just by looking at him.
I was both amused and annoyed; it was all because of his mouth!
"Let's eat the steamed buns first. I also brought some meat sauce that I made myself. These steamed buns get hard if they're left out for too long."
"Meat sauce? Honey, why didn't you say so sooner? I've been craving it for ages."
Wei Laicheng couldn't wait to open the meat sauce jar, and immediately, a fragrant aroma of meat filled the entire carriage.
Just as Wei Laicheng was enjoying his meal, a dark shadow fell beside him, accompanied by the sound of swallowing.
"Hey, could you share some of the meat sauce with me? I'll exchange it for cash, you won't lose out."
"Huh? I won't exchange this. If you're hungry, go to the dining car and buy some food."
After realizing what was happening, Wei Laicheng hugged the meat sauce jar tightly to his chest and looked at the person in front of him with a wary expression.
He'd been craving his wife's meat sauce for ages, and it was such a relief to finally get this jar. Asking him to trade it for her? You must be kidding me!
The man didn't press the matter. Just as Wei Laicheng was relieved that his meat sauce had been saved, a deafening wail pierced his ears.
"Waaah, why am I so unlucky! I was thrown into the countryside by the old man, and not only did I suffer terribly, but I also lost my chastity. Now I can't even have a bite of meat sauce."
Waaaaah, Cai Ximing, you've caused my grandson so much suffering!
Cai Ximing?
Jiang Xixi, whose crying hadn't been affected, paused for a moment upon hearing the name.
Isn't this the famous TCM master?
