Chapter 74 Do you like me? !
On the other hand, Chu Yian was in a good mood after hearing Qin Huaishu's words.
He went back with the gifts and happily went to Sheng's house to find Sheng Nian Yao.
This time Chu Yian learned his lesson and asked someone to arrange a carriage in advance instead of walking there on his own.
Until she arrived at the Sheng family, she was thinking all the way about how to comfort Liu and how to get closer to her.
Breaking the ice is the most important thing, otherwise Liu would throw her to Sheng Nianyao before she could even say a few words.
Chu Yian doesn't know much about Liu's family, so no matter how much he thinks, it probably won't be possible to implement. He can only wait and see. He just hopes that her brain can react faster.
Knowing that Chu Yian was coming, Sheng Nian Yao ran to the door early to wait. As soon as she saw her, she walked up to her affectionately, held her hand, and called her Sister Chu.
The voice is so sweet.
Chu Yian looked at her, then looked at the dark sky, and was speechless: "How long have you been waiting here?"
Sheng Nianyao chuckled: "Not long ago, just came out."
As soon as she said this, the maid behind her immediately interrupted her: "Young lady has been waiting for almost an hour."
Chu Yian was stunned. Sheng Nianyao turned her head and glared at her, then took Chu Yian's arm affectionately: "Sister Chu, don't listen to her nonsense. I got up early today and wanted to go out after dinner, but I didn't go out because I thought you were coming. I was too lazy to walk back, so I waited here for Sister Chu to come so that she could see me when she came."
Chu Yian: ...
Chu Yian’s expression was hard to describe, and Xiaofu’s expression was also hard to describe.
Chu Yian really didn't know what to say, so he just laughed it off and followed Sheng Nian Yao into the mansion.
After chatting with Chu Yian for a few words, Sheng Nianyao suddenly asked: "By the way, Sister Chu, I haven't asked you how you are going to settle Bai Xiaozhu?"
"Is there a place to stay? If not, I can help Sister Chu settle her down."
Chu Yian said without thinking: "Of course, don't worry, I still have a lot of shops under my name, I can settle her anywhere."
"It's just that I don't know what she likes yet. I'll ask her when I get back today, and then decide where to put her."
Sheng Nianyao's tone began to sour again: "Sister Chu is so considerate of others, I'm afraid Miss Xiaozhu will be moved to death."
Chu Yian chuckled and said, "I don't expect her to be grateful to me. I'm already very happy to be able to help her."
And the system probably wasn't looking for gratitude from the mission target, but rather some kind of unconventional relationship between a man and a woman? No, a relationship between a woman and a woman?
Girl...
Wait, girl...hiss!
Chu Yian thought of something and couldn't help but take a deep breath, his body stiffening.
For some reason, the things that were already confusing me suddenly became clearer in my mind.
They connected all the details into a thread, a thread that even Chu Yian, an emotional idiot, could understand.
Chu Yian turned his head stiffly and looked at Sheng Nianyao.
Sheng Nianyao held her arm affectionately, looking at her with bright eyes. There was a red rope hanging around her neck, hidden from top to bottom in her clothes.
That was the jade pendant she had worn since she was a child.
Chu Yian’s whole body froze. So, Sheng Nianyao didn’t treat her as her best friend?
She likes her?!
No wonder he asked for her cheap jade pendant and gave her her valuable jade pendant as a token of love?
Thinking about it carefully, Sheng Nianyao has never hidden her thoughts. Her words and actions are strange, and she wants to get close to her from time to time.
Now everything makes sense.
Chu Yian really couldn't understand. The only thing she did for Sheng Nianyao was to rescue her from the brothel, right?
Most of the time, it was Sheng Nianyao who took care of her.
Buy her jewelry, give her money...
Chu Yian really didn't know what he had done to move Sheng Nianyao and make her feel such feelings for him.
Chu Yian felt a little heavy-hearted when she thought about Sheng Nianyao liking her. She didn't object to the love between girls, she was just afraid that Sheng Nianyao would not be able to find her own happiness in the future and would waste her time in vain.
Especially since Sheng Nianyao is not young anymore, and in this era she will probably be engaged soon. How can people feel at ease with her like this?
Sheng Nianyao had no idea what Chu Yian was thinking. Feeling her body stiffen, she looked at her in confusion.
"Sister Chu, why don't you leave?"
Chu Yian shook his head, looked at her with complicated eyes, and let Sheng Nianyao hold his arm and go to the main courtyard of the Sheng family.
At that time, Madam Sheng Liu was talking to someone around her, with a look of sadness on her face.
Seeing Chu Yian and Sheng Nianyao coming, he quickly put away his sad expression, smiled gently and stood up to greet them.
"Yi An is here, come and sit down. I really couldn't leave last time because of something, so don't take it to heart."
Chu Yian quickly shook her head. She felt that not only did Liu not want to see her last time, but she didn't seem to want to see her this time either.
I don’t know what he is worried about. Could it be that cousin again?
Chu Yian collected his thoughts and smiled sweetly, "What are you talking about, Madam Sheng? It's me who's disturbing you. I came here suddenly last time and didn't send you a visiting card in advance. I hope Madam won't blame me."
Liu really liked Chu Yian's well-behaved appearance. Just looking at him made her feel much better and less depressed.
"How could that be? You are friends with Sister Nian Yao, so why would you need a visiting card to visit her?"
Chu Yian smiled and stopped talking about this. He took the poetry collection given to her by Tao from Xiaofu and handed it to her with both hands.
"Madam Sheng, I don't know what you like. My mother-in-law said you used to like poetry, so I prepared a small gift. I don't know if it will suit your taste."
Liu was stunned, a little surprised by Chu Yian's straightforwardness.
If someone gives you a gift, you must say some polite words and try to present the gift as tactfully as possible.
But this girl said it so clearly. I'm afraid Hua Shi didn't teach her these things when she followed him before.
However, thinking about the incident that happened in Zhuangyuan Building a while ago, Liu could understand why Hua didn't teach Chu Yian these things.
How can one person take care of all the things he has to deal with?
It was not easy for her to raise the two children left by the previous wife well. Who could blame her too much?
Liu herself is the mistress of the house and understands very well how difficult it is to be the mistress of the house.
She took the gift with a smile, her eyes a little warm: "How could it not be to her liking? After all these years, I didn't expect someone would still remember what I like. It's hard for her."
Chu Yian hurriedly said: "Mother-in-law certainly remembers it clearly."
Liu flipped through a few pages and started reading. The past could not be retrieved. Now, she no longer had the mood to do so when holding the poetry collection that she loved in her youth.
She was afraid that she would burst into tears in front of the two younger generations, so she quickly closed the book and looked at Chu Yian: "Yian, when you go back, please tell the Duke's wife that I like this gift very much and I apologize for her taking the trouble."
Chu Yian shook his head: "As long as Madam likes it, I will pass it on to my mother-in-law."
After all, they are no longer young. Chu Yian came here to play with Sheng Nianyao, and Liu didn't want to disturb them.
The two girls couldn't have fun if she just stood there.
So he stood up and said, "I still have some things to deal with, Nian Yao, you accompany Yi An and have fun..."
When Chu Yian heard that Liu was leaving, he became anxious.
She came to the Sheng family because of Liu. Now that Liu is gone, how can she still complete the mission?
Although Chu Yian no longer cared much about the 500 taels of silver for the mission, she had become very rich, or at least not as poor as before.
But Chu Yian still likes the idea of the system.
Now that she has accepted the task, she wants to do her best to help women in this world live a little more freely, rather than being confined in a cage for their entire lives.
Chu Yian opened his mouth and wanted Liu to stay.
But when I opened my mouth, I didn't know what excuse to use.
At this moment, she really wanted to slap her forehead and yell: You stupid fool, please think faster. People are about to leave, and you came here for nothing.
Until Liu had already taken one foot out, Chu Yian didn't know what he was thinking, and he opened his mouth to stop her.
"Um, Madam Sheng, I, I have something I want to ask you for a favor."
Chu Yian: ...
