Chapter 36 Sorry, My Husband Won't Lend It to Me
The wind tonight is exceptionally cool, and it's my back that's feeling the chill.
Xie Buyou always feels that something bad is about to happen.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing that something was wrong with Xie Buyou, Ye Feiyu, who had been reaching out to catch the fish, stopped and looked at him and asked.
"Nothing."
Xie Buyou shook his head, perhaps he was just too sensitive.
All the people around who can ride on the flower boat are people with a certain status or a little money at home.
After the top singer Furong of Linhualou finished her song, the discussion around her never stopped. As Xie Buyu listened, he probably knew what was going on.
Perhaps it was because Linhualou was the largest place for seeking pleasure, so every appearance of the top prostitute in the building was naturally grand and spectacular. Some high-ranking officials were so eager to take out the rare items they brought to please the beauties.
"Look, look! The beautiful Hibiscus is coming out!"
In almost an instant, everyone was stunned by the beauty who appeared again and couldn't take their eyes off.
Hibiscus's appearance can be described as a beauty that brings disaster upon herself. Even though she came from the world of red dust, it could not conceal her beautiful face, which radiated like a pearl.
She changed into a new dress, and if before she was a bud about to bloom, now she was a fully blossomed flower.
The hem of her skirt is layered with gradient blue, and the sleeves are embroidered with dancing blue butterflies. A circle of jade butterflies decorates her hair, and there is a drop of jade on her forehead. There are also a few small bells hanging on her ankles, which make a crisp sound when she walks.
Her every frown and smile was captivating. Furong allowed them to look at her at will. She was very familiar with most of their looks and had taken them for granted.
At this time, the madam came up and said something similar to what Xie Buyou knew. After she finished speaking, the madam immediately let Furong start making a choice.
As the top star, Furong still has the right to make her own choice unless the other party is someone she cannot refuse.
Furong walked slowly to the bow and began to look around at the people in the flower boats.
Seeing that the beauty Furong just glanced at them and then looked away, some of them suddenly became anxious and started to take out the good things they brought for the beauty to have a look. Maybe the beauty would like the things, and they would be able to spend a night with the beauty soon.
Some people even ignored the beauties beside them and joined in the competition to please the beauties, but without exception, they were ignored by Furong.
Xie Buyou discovered that she seemed to be looking for someone.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he saw Furong's eyes fell on him.
Xie Buyou: “……?”
The bad feeling became even stronger.
Sure enough, Xie Buyou's anxiety was confirmed the next second.
"I choose him."
The slender jade finger pointed at Xie Buyou. Seeing this, the others immediately looked over and gasped when they saw the man's face.
Her appearance is not inferior to that of Hibiscus, and because of her cold temperament, she looks more like a fairy who has descended to earth. Even though she is sitting on a vulgar flower boat at this moment, she is not tainted by the mundane world.
But what about that beautiful... person who seems to be an immortal? What's going on?
Why does her figure not look as slim as a woman's, but instead looks more like... a man?
Although she was blindfolded, it was not difficult to see that she was stunningly beautiful. The clothes she wore were indeed unique to Linhualou, but they seemed to have never seen them before.
Is any of the women in the brothel blind?
Furong was also amazed when she saw Xie Buyou's appearance. She thought the person in the portrait was already stunning, but she didn't expect the real person to be even more stunning.
This is why she can see the other party in a short time and make a choice immediately.
No wonder, the person that Second Master Mu likes is actually such a banished immortal. If it were her, she would probably be moved too.
Unlike others who were shocked inside, Xie Buyou remained calm on the surface, but in fact his mind was full of questions and fear.
Why choose him?
Why choose him?
He just came to join in the fun, he didn't want to spend the night with her!
Before Xie Buyou could say no, Ye Feiyu beside him couldn't wait to speak. He took out the fish that he had caught after who knows how long, showed it to Xie Buyou and said, "Look, my husband, a fish!"
The word "husband" stunned everyone.
Aren't they in the land of fireworks? Why are there a couple here?
Xie Buyou was also confused. He didn't expect Ye Feiyu to do such a thing.
There was a sudden silence at the scene, and everyone started to imagine the plot in their minds.
The husband lied that he was going out and would be back late. The blind wife was worried about her husband going with her, but the husband, who was younger than his wife, said he was going out fishing. He then took his wife to the fireworks place, and took advantage of her blindness to make her wear brothel clothes to mislead others. He then began to look at the top card recklessly, and was even chosen by the top card in the end.
In her heart, Furong silently labeled Mu Yinshen as someone who likes married men.
Xie Buyou looked at the fish in front of him, then looked at the people around him who were looking at him as if he were scum, and was speechless for a moment.
However, when he thought that the top prostitute in Linhualou had pointed to him, he had no interest in a night of conversation, so he immediately took the fish from Ye Feiyu and said to him:
"My wife is really amazing. She can catch fish with her bare hands... Now that we have dinner for tonight, let's go home now."
As he said that, he pulled Ye Feiyu up to get the oar, but as soon as he turned around, he was stopped.
"Wait a minute!"
Furong's voice seemed to be getting closer; it must be the boat approaching them.
Xie Buyou thought the other party wanted to say something to him, but he didn't expect that the next words were directed to Ye Feiyu who was beside him.
"Madam, I have a favor to ask of you. Could you please help me?"
She had to complete the task Mu Yinshen gave her and bring the married man to her place alone.
Ye Feiyu turned around, and Furong immediately felt as if she was being stared at by some terrifying gaze. She suddenly became stiff, unable to even move her feet.
"I'm sorry, my husband won't lend it to me."
Ye Feiyu turned back to Xie Buyu and said, "Husband, shall we go back now? We have been out for too long."
"The children are still waiting for us at home."
She was a little taller than Xie Buyou, and at this moment she was holding his arm and leaning slightly against him. At first glance, she looked a little like a little bird.
As soon as Ye Feiyu finished speaking, everyone sighed again.
Isn't this husband so irresponsible? He has a child but still tricks his wife into having fun in a brothel!
Not a man at all!
Furong was stunned again when she heard this, and she didn't even know what to say next.
She had no intention of stealing someone else's husband, but she had to keep him.
She set her sights on Xie Buyou.
Xie Buyu had his back to her, and it was impossible to tell his expression just from his back.
But he should be ashamed of what he did, right? Furong thought.
Little did he know that, not only was Xie Buyou feeling ashamed, his ominous premonition was about to burst through his head and reach the sky, making him so numb that he couldn't express it in words.
He felt another gaze that did not belong to Ye Feiyu, Furong, or anyone else.
That look was filled with extremely complex emotions.
Puzzled, sad, resentful, suspicious...
What did he have to do to make the other person's gaze so complicated?
Just as Xie Buyou was trying his best to guess, Furong's words immediately put his mind at ease.
