"You're really going to bother him now."
"This is not a trouble, this is a convenience. I have asked them to make a lot of good things and send them over. The Lord of Dark Moon Realm will not suffer any loss. What's more, I have agreed with him in the morning that I can borrow the boat at any time. He even told me that I don't have to return it during this period of time since he won't be able to use it anyway." The old man explained with some pride.
An Yan nodded and asked, "When will the jewelry be ready?"
"It should be fine today," the old man replied.
"Okay, I'll take it out later." An Yan nodded, and she thought about entrusting an auction house to sell the things first. After all, it would take time for her to set up a new company.
Yan Qingqiu came over and said, "I'm a little worried about Li Rongsen going there alone. After all, there is a spiritual fairy there."
"She's crazy." An Yan reminded him.
"I don't believe her. You'd better be careful no matter what, lest you get tricked and your man be snatched away." Yan Qingqiu also reminded her.
An Yan said: "You just don't want to go out."
"I'm not used to it. Besides, Li Rongsen needs me to take care of him." Yan Qingqiu said as a matter of course.
"Okay, whatever you want. I'll do it myself." An Yan didn't force him. She turned back to her room to make medicine, put it in a white jade bottle, and handed it to Bai Yucheng, telling him, "Take one if you're thirsty."
Bai Yucheng was extremely grateful and said, "I will definitely repay you well."
"Don't say such things." After saying that, An Yan went back to her room and then sat down to write her own story.
There is a large desk by the window, through which sunlight can shine in at any time. On the windowsill there is a moon-covered grass, which sways in the wind, occasionally dropping some crystals on the desk, which disappear in an instant.
An Yan had already written the first half. Now she was recording every bit of the things that happened as she and Li Rongsen became familiar with each other. She continued writing until dinner time.
The old man came over from outside and said, "City Lord, do you want to eat earlier? Didn't you say you were going out?"
"Yeah, I'll just eat something simple and then go out." An Yan said as she put away the notebook in her hand and put it in her bag. Then she went to the long table outside and said, "Don't serve too many dishes. I'll eat alone."
"Why do you want to eat alone? There is someone here to eat with you." The old man said to her with a smile, as if reminding her of something.
"Li Rongsen and Yan Qingqiu are not coming back. Do you want to have dinner with me?" An Yan asked him.
The old man stroked his beard and said, "I have asked people to put the food in Mr. Bai's room. Can the city lord move over there and eat with him?"
An Yan was a little surprised, but she didn't refuse immediately. She thought that having a meal together was nothing, and he was alone, so she said, "Okay."
"Please, please, please, City Lord, please go first. I will ask them to bring the soup." The old man was as happy as a child and ran out quickly.
An Yan didn't understand why he was so happy, so she walked over to Bai Yucheng's room and saw that he had just come out of the medicinal bath and had almost recovered, although he couldn't walk much yet.
"City Lord, I feel much better now." Bai Yucheng said to her.
"That's cause for celebration." An Yan said with a chuckle.
"It's just that my legs still have no strength, but my upper body is fine." Bai Yucheng originally wanted to stand up and take a few steps, but gave up.
"Just sit down. You will be able to move freely tomorrow." An Yan signaled him not to be so stubborn.
Bai Yucheng nodded and said, "City Lord, please take a seat and have dinner with us. I heard that they are not in the city."
An Yan did not refuse, sat down at the table and said, "I will leave after I finish my meal. The old man will take care of you."
"When will you come back?" Bai Yucheng asked.
"Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow." An Yan replied.
Bai Yucheng nodded slightly and said, "I have something to tell the city lord."
"Just call me by my name. We are of the same generation." An Yan said.
"I want to hand over Taiping City to Xicheng. From now on, it will be a subsidiary city of Xicheng. Is that okay?" Bai Yucheng said while staring at An Yan. He hoped that she would agree.
But Anyan never had such intention. She said, "Western City will not take advantage of such an opportunity. Taiping City is still yours. You should go back and treat your citizens well. Don't let them down."
"I don't want to be a city lord." Bai Yucheng frowned and expressed his thoughts.
An Yan raised her eyes to look at Bai Yucheng, and then said: "You are already the city lord, so you should take on this responsibility."
"I will hand over the position of city lord. I want to stay." Bai Yucheng said firmly.
Now it was An Yan's turn to frown. She was surprised, put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, and asked him: "What's the point of this? You don't want to be the city lord, but stay here as a nobody?"
"I want to be a city slave, and I have already promised the old man." Bai Yucheng finally couldn't help it and told An Yan about this in advance.
An Yan was angry. She stood up immediately and said to Bai Yucheng, "I'll be back soon. You eat first." Then she left the room like the wind and called the old man over.
The old man hurried to An Yan and asked, "City Lord, what big thing happened?"
"You are so brave." It was the first time that An Yan was so angry.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
The old man was really frightened. He immediately bowed deeply and then asked An Yan, "I don't know why the city lord is so angry. What did I do wrong? Please tell me."
"Why did Bai Yucheng say that he didn't want to be the city lord and wanted to stay in West City as a city slave? If it wasn't you who instigated him, who else could it be?" An Yan asked him angrily.
"This..." The old man didn't know how to respond for a moment. After thinking for a while, he said, "A small part of it was my wish, but it was mostly his own will. He said that he fell in love with the city lord at first sight, and this time he was so kind to the city lord that he was willing to stay and be his slave."
"So you're not interested in Li Rongsen."
"But he doesn't want to." The old man also felt helpless.
"Does the city lord have to have a city slave?"
"No, no, that's not right. You don't have to have just one. You can have many." The old man said while laughing.
"How outrageous." An Yan sneered at him.
The old man did not dare to be too ostentatious and advised An Yan: "City Lord, according to the previous rules, there should have been city slaves a long time ago. Since Li Rongsen is unwilling, there are naturally other people who are willing. Look at this Bai Yucheng, he is really good, handsome, gentle and affectionate. He is really a wonderful person, and he treats the city lord sincerely. I really want to help him."
"Don't mention this matter again."
"City Lord, whether you like it or not, we still need city slaves." The old man meant well.
"I know what I'm doing." An Yan signaled him not to worry too much.
The old man was not a fool. He asked carefully, "The city lord is thinking about Li Rongsen, right?"
"Why don't you call him Mr. Li now?" An Yan asked him back.
The old man curled his lips and then said, "It was him who refused to sign. I got mad at him."
"Just like Yan Qingqiu, always angry all day long." An Yan really couldn't do anything about them.
"The city lord is too pampering to him." The old man was a little dissatisfied.
An Yan said: "Don't forget. Think about how Li Rongsen treated Xicheng. You should know that he was always right to you and Xicheng. As for how he treated me, it was understandable. What if one day I forgot everything?"
The old man also knew that he had gone too far. He bowed to An Yan again and said, "I know I was wrong."
"You go back to the room and have dinner with Mr. Bai. I'll go back first because I still have to treat someone's illness." An Yan said and went into the inner room to pack up.
The old man didn't dare to say another word and had to retreat.
