The young boss then noticed Chuanwen standing next to him, who had been staring blankly at the two of them for a while, munching on a hawthorn. [What's going on? Could this young boss have taken a liking to Wenxue?]
Chuanwen silently complained to herself. Even if they hadn't intervened, the young boss could have handled the situation, but why did this guy have to thank Wenxue?
Wenxue choked on her saliva after hearing Chuanwen's complaints!
"Thank you so much for saving me, Miss!"
The young boss bowed to Chuanwen, and then that was it. Chuanwen's lips twitched. [He launched into a long, tirade against Wenxue, but only said one thing to me? Thumbs down!]
That's such discrimination!
Chuanwen puffed out her cheeks in anger, while Wenxue scratched the back of her head sheepishly. The young boss, seeing Chuanwen like this, wanted to go over and give her a good pat on the back; the girl was kind of cute!
"My name is Yutian. Thank you both for your help today. If you don't mind, how about I treat you to a meal?"
The young boss spoke enthusiastically, referring to the two girls, but his eyes kept glancing at Wenxue.
Chuanwen was puzzled. "I'm no less attractive than Wenxue, in fact, I'm even a little better looking! Why does this young man keep looking at Wenxue?"
Chuanwen thought narcissistically, and Wenxue was already used to Chuanwen's narcissistic behavior. However, after Chuanwen's analysis, Wenxue also felt that this person's enthusiasm must be for something else!
"Okay, it's almost lunchtime anyway!"
Chuan Wen laughed, thinking to himself, "Could this guy know Wen Xue? Perfect, I'll get a free meal and then find out what's really going on between him and Wen Xue!"
Chuanwen agreed, and the young man named Yutian was very happy. He asked the uncle at the stall next to him to help watch his pig head stall, and then he, Chuanwen, and Wenxue walked towards an inn not far away.
Chuanwen wanted to order a whole table of dishes without ceremony, but after glancing at Yutian, he thought that although the guy was a bit awful, he was just running a small business, so he decided not to rip him off and only ordered four dishes. Yutian then added two more, instantly winning Chuanwen's favor—he knew how to handle things!
"By the way, what about the force and method you mentioned when cutting meat?"
Wenxue, being a martial arts practitioner and having killed people before, had only heard that different cutting directions resulted in different wound shapes. She didn't know there were any special considerations when chopping pork, so she asked Yutian.
Yu Tian smiled and said, "That was just something I made up to fool that young master..."
While the two were chatting, Chuanwen had already begun searching his mind for information about Yutian in the script. However, after finding the relevant information, he almost spat out the tea he had just taken a sip from his teacup.
[What the heck! This guy's not called Yutian, he's called Lei Nianren! He's the son of the richest family in Jiangnan, and Wen Xue's fiancé!]
puff--!
Under the scorching sun, Wen Xue was a little thirsty and was just picking up her teacup to moisten her mouth when Chuan Wen's voice came through. She spat out a mouthful of tea, spraying it all over Lei Nianren's face opposite her!
"Is this to cool someone down by spraying them with tea in their face?" Chuanwen looked at Wenxue with suspicion. "They haven't even acknowledged each other yet, and they're already showing off their affection?"
Wen Xue choked on the remaining tea in her mouth again. What a load of rubbish about showing off their love! Who is that guy opposite me?!
Lei Nianren wiped the tea off his face and looked at Wen Xue with a puzzled expression, only to meet Wen Xue's shocked gaze. However, Wen Xue quickly concealed her emotions.
She couldn't let Chuanwen discover that she could hear her inner thoughts, so she tried her best to hide her emotions.
When Chuanwen and Lei Nianren looked at Wenxue again, although they could no longer see her shock, they felt that her expression was a little strange.
"Are you feeling unwell, young lady?"
Lei Nianren asked with concern, while Chuanwen mentally complained again, "[Uh... to be honest, this guy is actually quite pitiful. He traveled all the way to the capital to chase after his girlfriend, and even disguised himself as a pig butcher to observe the passersby at the city gate every day to see if his runaway fiancée was there, hoping to create a chance encounter!]"
Lei Nianren actually knew where Wen Xue was, but simply finding her wasn't enough; he needed to make her willingly go back with him. Furthermore, he intended to expand his business into the capital, so he disguised himself as a butcher, investigating the market while simultaneously looking for opportunities to bump into Wen Xue.
As the saying goes, heaven rewards those who persevere. Although he didn't know how he had offended that young master, he really had to thank him!
Thinking of this, Lei Nianren even considered bringing two boxes of gifts to express his gratitude. However, just as he was feeling relieved, he noticed that Wen Xue's face had turned even paler, and she shook her head, saying that she was fine.
Wen Xue said "I'm fine" through gritted teeth, which made Chuan Wen wonder, "Why is Wen Xue acting so strange today?"
Wen Xue took a deep breath, suppressing all her emotions. When Lei Nianren asked her again with concern if she wanted to see a doctor, she gave an extremely gentle and kind smile, "I'm fine."
In a soft tone, the message read: "...[Wen Xue is definitely acting strange! Her laughter is so creepy!]"
Chuanwen rolled her arms, and Wenxue wanted to twitch her lips. She wasn't even shocked; she was even smiling! What more did she want from her?! Ahhhhhh!!!
Wenxue, who couldn't hide her emotions, seemed to arouse Chuanwen's suspicion no matter what she did; she was feeling emotional...
Fortunately, the dishes arrived at that moment, and Chuanwen's attention was drawn to them.
"Then thank you very much for your hospitality, Young Master Yu."
Chuanwen's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, and he politely thanked the person before starting the meal.
Lei Nianren smiled and served food to the two women, saying, "You're welcome. I should be thanking you two ladies."
Unaware that his true identity had been exposed, Lei Nianren continued to address her as "girl," pretending to be unfamiliar with her.
Wen Xue looked at the two of them in perfect harmony and couldn't help but twitch her eye. When it comes to pretense, Chuan Wen is no less impressive than Lei Nianren. Even though he clearly knew his true identity, he still called him "Young Master Yu" so naturally.
Looking at the two, Wen Xue suddenly felt like she was looking at two foxes, one big and one small. Both knew the other's identity perfectly well, but pretended not to know anything with smiles, calling each other "Miss" and "Young Master Yu" so naturally. Of the three, it seemed only she, unable to hide her emotions, was a pig!
During the meal, Lei Nianren always focused his attention on Wen Xue, being very attentive by serving her food and water, but Wen Xue barely acknowledged him. So what if he's a pig! Pigs have aesthetic sense too! She would never like a snot-nosed glutton who's good at everything from eating and drinking to gambling and whoring!
After the meal, the three said goodbye at the entrance of the inn. After Chuanwen and Wenxue returned to the Changxing Marquis's residence, a piece of pork followed them.
The deliveryman said the pork was delivered by Yutian from the South Gate, and thanked the two for saving his life!
Chuanwen glanced at Wenxue, a smile playing on his lips. "Wow! This has escalated to a life-saving favor!"
Wenxue's face flushed red, and Chuanwen immediately ordered someone to send the pork to the kitchen so they could have braised pork for dinner!
In the following days, the Marquis of Changxing's residence received a piece of pork every day, and Chuanwen got tired of eating braised pork.
"Wenxue, why don't you go and tell Yutian to send two pounds of pig's head meat tomorrow? I'm so tired of braised pork!"
After the servant reported once again that another piece of pork had been brought in, Chuanwen rested his chin on his hand and looked at Wenxue with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
