Chapter 88 Staying in Gujiu Town, Showing Love in an Inn
Fang Cheng and the two parted ways at a winery.
After the two got off the carriage, Fang Cheng looked at them and said sincerely, "Sir, Madam, I'll buy some wine and some dry food here and then go back to Lingshan Town. I don't know if I can see you again in the future. Take care on your way!"
Liu Ming'an and Jiang Ning nodded to Fang Cheng and said, "See you later." Then they saw him hurrying on his horse and walking towards another road with ease. They met
by chance and parted in a blink of an eye. Liu Ming'an watched Fang Cheng's carriage go away and said to himself, "It should be difficult to see each other again."
"Let's find an inn to eat first." Jiang Ning was not as easily sad as Liu Ming'an, and suggested very pragmatically.
Gujiu Town seemed much more prosperous than Lingshan Town, with wider streets and more street vendors.
Liu Mingan and Jiang Ning were unfamiliar with the area and didn't know which inn to choose, so they picked one called "Yuanlai Inn" nearby and walked in.
"Hey~ Gentlemen, please come in!"
The sharp-eyed waiter came up to them immediately and greeted them warmly: "You two have come from far away, right? Do you want to have dinner or stay at the hotel?" "
Stay
at the hotel." Liu Ming'an said and glanced at the hall. It was lunch time and the hall was full of people and very noisy. Jiang Ning probably didn't like this kind of occasion, so he said immediately: "Take us to the room first, and then bring the food up."
"Okay!" The waiter responded quickly, and while leading them to the upstairs room, he asked what type of room they wanted, what kind of food they needed, whether they needed a hot tub, etc. He was very considerate and attentive to every detail.
Liu Ming'an sought Jiang Ning's opinions and answered them one by one. Finally, he chose a room with a wide view facing the street to stay in. He asked the waiter to serve some of the restaurant's signature dishes, and brought hot water for washing after eating.
Liu Ming'an and Jiang Ning entered the room, and just after they put down their luggage, the waiter knocked on the door with food.
The waiter took a large bowl from the tray, put it on the table, and introduced: "Sir, this is our restaurant's signature dish - Huadiao Drunken Chicken, which uses five-year-old Huadiao! In addition, there are more than ten kinds of Chinese medicine such as ginseng, astragalus, hawthorn, Jiao Sanxian, etc., and it is slow-cooked alternately over medium and low heat. It is both delicious and nourishing."
"Is five-year-old Huadiao used in cooking?" Liu Ming'an was a little surprised.
The waiter seemed to have anticipated Liu Ming'an's reaction, with a smug look on his face: "Hehe, sir, you don't understand. In our Gujiu Town, the last thing we lack is wine. What's a five-year-old Huadiao? If you like it, you can drink enough Huadiao wine that's fifty years old!"
"It's worthy of being the wine town of Liang State!" Liu Ming'an really learned a lot and couldn't help but sigh.
The waiter put down another earthenware jar and said to Jiang Ning: "This is osmanthus sweet wine small glutinous rice balls. The soup is fragrant and sweet, and the glutinous rice balls are soft and sticky. Madam should like it very much." There was
also a dish of fried tofu with garlic sprouts, a dish of hot and sour potato shreds and a small bucket of rice on the tray. After the waiter put them down one by one, he said: "Sir, enjoy your meal. I will collect the dishes in half an hour." He turned around, closed the door and left the room.
Three dishes and one soup, two of which were related to "wine". While Liu Ming'an was eating, he asked the people around him: "A Ning, do you drink?"
Jiang Ning picked up a piece of Huadiao drunken chicken with chopsticks and replied: "No, but maybe I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
"Why do you think so?" Liu Ming'an found it hard to believe.
Jiang Ning curled her lips, did not answer, reached out and picked up another chopstick of chicken and put it in Liu Ming'an's bowl: "Let's not talk about this, eat first, this chicken tastes good!"
Jiang Ning actually did not lie to Liu Ming'an. In her previous life, as a killer, she needed to stay awake at all times, so Jiang Ning did not drink a drop of wine unless it was necessary. In this world, she really did not drink wine.
But why did she think she could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk? Of course, it was because of the blood lotus space in her body. The last time Zhao Qiang had drugged her, she had no effect at all. Jiang Ning had guessed that the space should eliminate the negative effects imposed on her by the outside world. The paralysis caused by alcohol and the drug have similar effects, so Jiang Ning inferred that she would not get drunk even if she drank a lot.
After dinner, the waiter came to clean up the dishes on time, and then two waiters brought the bathtub. After pouring bucket after bucket of hot water, they said, "Sir, please call us after you have washed up," and closed the door again and left.
Jiang Ning had not been able to take a bath during the three days of rushing. Seeing the steaming bathtub, she was itching and wanted to take off her clothes and take a good bath.
However, when she took off her coat and turned her head inadvertently, she found Liu Mingan standing by the window, staring straight at the closed window, with a slightly red face.
Jiang Ning thought about it for a moment and knew what he was thinking.
After she was completely immersed in the bathtub, the hot water wrapped around her body, and all the muscles in her body were stretched and relaxed, Jiang Ning saw that Liu Mingan was still staring at that place, his eyes did not move for a moment, and she couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"Liu Mingan."
Jiang Ning suddenly called out, and the next moment she saw his body stiffen.
"Ah, Ah Ning, what's the matter?" Liu Mingan replied calmly.
Jiang Ning didn't have anything to do, but when he asked this, she suddenly wanted to find something to do.
Lifting her hand, she pushed the dry towel hanging on the side of the tub onto the floor. Jiang Ning said, "The towel has fallen to the floor. I can't reach it. Can you help me pick it up?" Jiang
Ning said, leaning leisurely against the side of the tub. After waiting for a while, she saw Liu Mingan slowly approaching, looking down at the floor the whole time, not daring to raise his head.
Why is he so reserved? Jiang Ning couldn't understand.
When Liu Ming'an picked up the towel and handed it to him, Jiang Ning grabbed his hand, pulled him to the bathtub, and asked knowingly: "Why don't you dare look at me?"
Liu Ming'an saw Jiang Ning's slender neck, delicate collarbone, naked shoulders and most of her snow-white chest. His whole face turned red in an instant. He quickly closed his eyes and felt that he couldn't even straighten his tongue: "Ah, An Ning, you, you stop making trouble, let me go..."
"Hehe..." Jiang Ning chuckled twice and pulled him tighter: "No! Answer me and I'll let go."
Liu Ming'an had no choice but to close his eyes and stammer: "I'm afraid, afraid of offending you."
Jiang Ning looked at Liu Ming'an, who looked like he was being teased, and just found it funny: "Why aren't you afraid of offending me when you find excuses to climb into my bed? Why aren't you afraid of offending me when you secretly hold my hand in the middle of the night? And, when you thought I was asleep and wanted to kiss me secretly, why didn't you think of the word offend?"
Liu Ming'an sighed, knowing that Jiang Ning would not let it go if he didn't make things clear today.
Liu Ming'an finally opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Ning.
Because of the hot water, Jiang Ning's face was slightly red, her long hair was wet and stuck to her cheeks, her eyes were wet in the heat, and her dark grey pupils reflected Liu Mingan's uncomfortable face, focused and innocent.
Jiang Ning only saw Liu Ming'an open his eyes and stare at her for a while. Just when she was about to speak, he bent down and held her face with his hands. The next moment, a hot kiss fell on her lips.
This kiss was different from the previous ones.
Liu Ming'an was a gentle person. His kisses were also gentle in the past, like the gentle breeze and drizzle in March, melting Jiang Ning's heart bit by bit.
But this time, Liu Ming'an kissed her quickly, heavily and chaotically. As their lips and teeth entangled, Jiang Ning seemed to be able to feel his restless heart.
After a while, Liu Ming'an stopped. Both of them had disordered breathing. Jiang Ning even felt a little stinging on her lips.
"A Ning, I want to marry you." Liu Ming'an pecked Jiang Ning's rosy lips again and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"So you think you can't have sex with me before you marry me?" Jiang Ning seemed to understand the train of thought of this ancient man.
"Yes, because I cherish you." Liu Ming'an said solemnly.
"Then, if..." Jiang Ning leaned close to Liu Ming'an's lips again, kissed him lightly twice, and said seductively: "I want to sleep with you, what should I do?"
Liu Ming'an's heart, which had finally calmed down a little, started beating wildly again, his face and ears were red as if they were dripping with blood, and he took a half step back, turned his face to the side, and avoided Jiang Ning's sight.
Jiang Ning only heard Liu Ming'an's voice as low as a mosquito: "A Ning, you have to be patient, what if... cough, what if you are pregnant, we are in a hurry, you will suffer, I can't bear it. Wait until you settle down." After
Liu Ming'an finished speaking, he felt that he couldn't stay in this room for a moment, and ran out, shouting: "You take a shower first, I will come back in half an hour."
Jiang Ning lay on the side of the bathtub, watching Liu Ming'an's fleeing back, with a bright smile on her face.
This feeling of being cherished is really good!
But Liu Ming'an also made sense. Now that her identity has not been confirmed, if she accidentally gets pregnant, it will indeed bring a lot of trouble.
