The servant next to Young Master Tang tried to take the basket, but was glared at by him and dared not move.
He reached out and took it himself, his right hand reaching over the basket and out to Xiao Yunying, almost covering her hand.
Ever since Liu Ge touched her hand without her noticing, Xiao Yunying has become extremely wary of any man who gets close to her. When Young Master Tang grabbed the basket with his left hand, she let go and took two steps back, successfully avoiding his groping hand.
Xiao Yunying stopped smiling and frowned as she looked at the chubby man. What was going on? Did he have a crush on her?
She's already this fat, so this guy... his taste isn't bad, but there are plenty of beauties with better figures than her, so why would he be interested in a fat woman like her?
Is it because he's fat that he likes fat girls?
Young Master Tang didn't manage to touch Xiao Yunying's hand, and for a moment his expression showed displeasure, but he didn't show it in front of so many people. He fanned himself and handed the basket to Xiao Si.
"Thank you for selling me the snow fungus. To express my gratitude, let me treat you to a meal."
The man was still being polite on the surface, so Xiao Yunying couldn't afford to offend him first: "Young Master Tang, you're too kind. You won the snow fungus through bidding yourself, thanks to the Tang family's wealth. It has little to do with me."
"That girl..."
"Young Master Tang, it's almost noon. I still need to buy some things, so I really don't have time to chat with you. I have four children waiting for me to go back and cook, so I'll have to go now. Goodbye."
Xiao Yunying finished speaking quickly, giving the other party no chance to react, then turned and walked through the crowd, heading briskly into a small alley.
Young Master Tang kicked Xiao Si: "What are you standing there for? Go after them!"
"Young master, she says she's married and has four children, but the master won't allow it..."
Young Master Tang kicked him again: "What do you mean you won't allow it? She said she'd get married, and that's it. Look at her hair, is it a married woman's bun? She's only fifteen or sixteen. Even if she got married, it's understandable if she had one or two children, but who would believe she has four? She's just lying to me. Go after her!"
Xiao Si felt that his young master was right. Although his young master was not good at studying, he was very clever when it came to women. He immediately ordered the servants to chase after him.
Xiao Yunying turned into the alley and, hearing footsteps chasing after her, simply started running.
After turning into two or three alleys without shaking them off, they turned into a new alley and, seeing no one around, went straight into the supermarket.
Hearing the footsteps fading into the distance, Xiao Yunying left the supermarket and ran back. She didn't dare go back to the main road, so she asked around in the alley and went to Liumen Street from another direction.
Before leaving the alley, Xiao Yunying took twenty snow fungus plants and put them in her basket. She took a breath and walked a few steps before hearing footsteps approaching her again.
Have they caught up to this point?
Xiao Yunying took off running towards the side gate of the Chen family. No matter what, she would get into the Chen family first.
The little figure behind her paused for a moment, took two steps but couldn't catch up, and called to a servant: "Quickly, carry me and chase after them."
The frail servant girl, carrying the chubby little master, dared not run too fast, for fear of dropping the precious darling of the Chen family. Chen Yuanxuan, however, was not satisfied with the servant girl's speed and urged, "Hurry up, she's already far away."
Xiao Yunying ran quickly to the side gate of the Chen residence before stopping, when she heard a familiar child's voice behind her.
"Fatty, why are you running?"
Xiao Yunying turned around and saw a servant carrying the young master of the Chen family running towards her: "You're the one chasing me! Why are you chasing me for no reason? You're exhausting me."
Looking behind them and seeing that no one else was chasing them, they breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against a big tree to rest.
Chen Yuanxuan had Xiao Si put him down, and then looked behind him with Xiao Yunying: "Why are you running? Is someone chasing you?"
Xiao Yunying didn't want to tell a little kid about being harassed, not for any other reason than that she thought the kid would laugh at her, so she made up another excuse.
"I sold a few snow fungus plants at the market, and I guess I was targeted by thieves."
"You're so easily frightened by a few thieves, you're really useless."
Xiao Yunying rolled her eyes: "Young Master Chen, you have people following and protecting you wherever you go, so of course you're not afraid. I'm all alone, how can I not be afraid?"
Chen Yuanxuan thought about it and agreed. After all, she was still a woman. He thought of comforting her and said, "Actually, you don't need to be afraid. Although you are fat, you run quite fast. They shouldn't be able to catch you."
Xiao Yunying: "...Hehe, you're really good with words. Thank you."
Chen Yuanxuan genuinely believed he had comforted Xiao Yunying, and raised his head to ask, "What happened to your head?"
It's best not to tell children dirty things like, "I bumped my head yesterday."
"How could you be so stupid? How could you bump your head like that?"
After catching her breath, Xiao Yunying felt less breathless: "Young Master Chen, I'm here to deliver snow fungus to your family. I need to hurry back to cook after I finish delivering it, so I won't chat with you any longer."
Chen Yuanxuan followed behind her with his short legs: "You've come to deliver snow fungus again? My older brother said snow fungus is very rare. Where did you pick so much?"
"Even the rarest ones can be found in the mountains; it just depends on whether people are willing to risk their lives to search for them deep in the mountains."
"Did you hit your head in the mountains?"
"No, I fell by the river."
What are you doing by the river?
"Washing clothes".
Chen Yuanxuan looked at Xiao Yunying with pitiful eyes: "You're injured, and you still have to cook for yourself?"
Xiao Yunying stopped at the side door, knocked, and waited: "Young Master Chen, my family is not like yours, with a bunch of servants. If you don't cook for yourself, you'll go hungry."
"and you……"
"Young Master, why do you ask so many questions? Don't you have anything else to do? You should go back to the Chen residence and stop following me."
Chen Yuanxuan blinked. Was he being rejected?
The old woman guarding the door opened the side door, and Chen Yuanxuan walked in with his head held high: "This is my house, I can go wherever I want, hmph."
