Chapter 14 You Are Dreaming
On the stage, the storyteller had already talked about how the border town defenders first used fire attack and then used treasures to lure the people of Mobei.
On both sides of the tea table, Wen Wan and Gao Ling looked at each other, then stopped talking and pretended to be relaxed while chatting and drinking tea.
Shen Yu saw the two people's pretense and looked at them with disdain.
Gao Ling was the first to speak, he asked Shen Yu.
"Didn't you say you were going to take me to meet someone important? Now that we've said hello to Miss Xiaowan, shouldn't we get down to business?"
Shen Yu sat still and raised his hand to point at Wen Wan.
Gao Ling didn't understand, "What do you mean?"
Wen Wan forced a smile, her brows and eyes curved into a line, and continued, "I guess... the person he wants to take you to meet is very important, very important... and that's me."
Shen Yu glanced at her deeply.
Sure enough, as smart as ever.
Gao Ling twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Chen Yu, "Is it really her?"
Shen Yu nodded.
Gao Ling then cleared his throat and looked at Wen Wan carefully again.
The delicate demeanor he had pretended to have before was gone. Now looking at the girl in front of him, although she was not very old, her eyes were full of calculation and shrewdness.
What's more, a woman who has the courage and ability to make Shen Yu suffer a setback is worthy of his attention.
Wen Wan grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said in a relaxed tone, "Are you ready to go find the ancient tomb? I have no problem with the schedule, and I can cooperate with your actions at any time."
After repeated confirmation, Shen Yu can now accept her ability to predict the future with great pleasure.
Gao Ling, on the other hand, although mentally prepared, still couldn't help being shocked.
He looked at Shen Yu again, "Could it be that she is right again? You asked me to come here because of the ancient tomb?"
Shen Yu responded.
Gao Ling turned around and gave Wen Wan a thumbs up. "Amazing. So the Feng Shui master he was talking about is you. I never knew that at such a young age, you have such high attainments in this area."
Wen Wan waved her hand, "I only know a little bit, not worth mentioning."
Excessive humility is pride.
When Chen Yu heard the words "know a thing or two", he felt a sharp pain in his temples.
"Okay, let's make it short. Starting tomorrow, we'll begin searching for the ancient tomb. To avoid attracting other people's attention, we'll follow Gao Ling's caravan. This time, we'll start our search from Biancheng and head north, all the way to Zhuzhou, another border city, and then return."
"While traveling with the caravan, my identity is Gao Ling's younger brother Gao Yu, and your identity is our younger sister Gao Xiaowan..."
Before Shen Yu finished speaking, Wen Wan raised her hand.
"I object!"
Shen Yu's lips twitched, "What are you objecting to?"
Gao Ling was surprised and said, "I'd like to hear more details."
Wen Wan cracked melon seeds with a clattering sound. "I'm against going out as a single woman. A beauty like me, with both beauty and intelligence, will attract unwanted attention, and our disguise will be exposed at greater risk."
"When you're out and about, the more low-key you are, the less noticeable the better, right?"
She spoke very logically, and her arguments actually made some sense.
Shen Yu said nothing, but Gao Ling nodded repeatedly.
"I think Miss Xiaowan is right. How about this? I'll be a little bit wronged and let Miss Xiaowan be my confidante..."
Wen Wan: "You don't need to feel wronged!"
Shen Yu: “No!”
The two spoke in unison, and after they finished speaking, they looked at each other in surprise.
"You two seem to have great chemistry..." Gao Ling cleared his throat, "So what do you guys say we should do?"
Wen Wan raised her finger and pointed at Chen Yu, making an exaggerated and obscene expression, "I want to be his..."
Shen Yu and Gao Ling stared at her at the same time.
Gao Ling's eyes lit up, and the look of delight on his face could hardly be concealed.
Shen Yu's eyes looked calm, but in fact, the fingers holding the teacup trembled slightly.
Wen Wan smiled happily and drew a circle in front of Shen Yu with her fingertips.
"I want to be his little wife!"
Gao Ling: “…”
Shen Yu: “…”
Being his mistress means being his father's confidante. She is not a single woman, but also an elder with influence, killing two birds with one stone.
She thinks she is perfect.
I only heard Shen Yu suddenly put the teacup on the table and said only three words.
"You're dreaming!"

When Chen Zhou came back after buying the pastries, Wen Wan was the only one left at the tea table.
"Where are Brother Chai and the others?" Chen Zhou asked.
Wen Wan thought of the person who had just left in a rage, and couldn't help but smile.
"They left early because of something."
Chen Zhou put the cakes on the table in a sullen manner. "I even bought an extra portion of the cakes that A Chai likes, but I didn't expect him to be gone. It's strange, A Chai never leaves without saying goodbye. Could something have happened to him?"
"Don't worry, he's fine." He just blushed because he was angry with her.
Wen Wan picked up the package of snacks on the table and asked, "You said this is his favorite pastry?"
Chen Zhou nodded.
Seeing this, Wen Wan picked up a piece of flower-shaped dessert and took a bite, then frowned immediately, "So sweet."
It really proves the saying that you can't judge a book by its cover.
He looks like a rough and rugged guy, and not only does he blush when teased, but he also loves sweets?
This kind of contrast is so attractive.
"Oh." Wen Wan couldn't help but sigh.
Chen Zhou was also eating a piece of dessert. Hearing her sigh, he asked puzzledly, "Sister Xiaowan, what's wrong with you?"
Wen Wan shook her head. "Alas, I just felt that it would be great if your brother Chai was a sentimental and gentle man."
Chen Zhou's expression became more confused when he heard this.
"Sister Xiaowan, my brother Chai is very gentle."
Wen Wan: “……?”
Chen Zhou: "That's right. Every time Xiao Si and Xiao Wu act like spoiled brats, Brother Chai is very gentle. He buys them candied haws and plays hide-and-seek with them."
"Hide and seek?" Wen Wan's eyes began to glow green.
It was really hard for her to imagine a big guy like Achai pretending to be cute while playing hide-and-seek.
Chen Zhou was completely unaware that he had exposed all of Chen Yu's past, and continued to speak heartlessly:
"Sister Xiaowan, Brother Chai just looks fierce, but he's actually the nicest person."
"He's a soft-hearted person. Next time he gets mean to you, just cry. He can't do anything with a crying girl."
Wen Wan couldn't help but smile obscenely when she heard this.
Do you like girls acting coquettishly?
Afraid of girls crying?
Now that she had figured out his weakness, she began to look forward to the days of searching for the ancient tomb.

Half an hour later, the storyteller finished telling the story of how the border town defenders were outnumbered and faced a much larger force.
As the sky grew darker, Wen Wan was preparing to take Chen Zhou home.
She just stood up and glanced out the window inadvertently.
A carriage passed by the teahouse, and the curtains of the carriage were blown up by the wind, revealing the profile of a woman.
It was the general's wife, Zhao, who had been separated from Wen Wan at the post station.
Zhao seemed to sense something and looked upstairs.
