Chapter 376 A guest has arrived
On this day, An Yan returned to West City. She needed to pick some Ganoderma Lucidum to treat Mr. Li's illness. After all, diseases like stroke were not easy to treat and required special preparation.
But Mr. Li has been doing quite well these past few days. He can now move his upper body and speak fluently.
An old man came over and said to An Yan, "City Lord, someone is coming outside and wants to see you."
"Who's here?" An Yan asked nonchalantly. She was only concerned about her two Ganoderma lucidum plants. She took them back to the house, washed them, and threw them into a wooden bowl.
The old man said, "One is called Mancao, and the other is called Qingfeng."
An Yan was stunned at first, and then said, "Come in quickly." Then she dropped the things in her hands and went out to greet him.
Mancao and Qingfeng came over holding hands. They were wearing clothes of the same color, like couple outfits.
"Why are you here? Fortunately, I am here today." An Yan said to Mancao, looking her up and down, and then looked at Qingfeng.
Qingfeng smiled at her, looking very happy.
"We should have come to see you earlier." Mancao said shyly, and then added, "Qingfeng and I are getting married. I should have sent you an invitation, but I was afraid it would delay your business, so I didn't. Today we came together specially to see you."
"Oh, how could you not tell me about such a big event as a wedding? I must attend it." An Yan said as she took Mancao's hand and said, "Come, go to my courtyard and ask them to prepare the banquet."
"Don't be so polite. We just came to tell you and bring him out to see him." Mancao said.
Qingfeng said, "West City is indeed different. It's such a big city, and the city itself is even more magnificent."
"How is the work of the people I asked the old man to send to your place? Are you satisfied?" An Yan asked.
"They're all good. They've worked so hard and built our place so beautifully." Mancao nodded repeatedly and added, "My brother even brought you a lot of gifts. They're still at the city gate."
"Come if you want to. Why bring a gift? Don't do this again next time." An Yan said, and then said, "I'm going to punish you for not telling me. I should have prepared a wedding gift for you."
Mancao had already followed An Yan into her yard and was instantly fascinated. She said, "What a beautiful yard! This is the first time I've seen one like this."
Qingfeng was also amazed. He looked around and found that every layout was carefully designed. There were two rooms on each side, and the main house was opposite.
An Yan instructed the servants to tell the old man to entertain the guests with great ceremony, and whispered some instructions. Then she walked into the house and saw Mancao looking around. She said, "Your room is really interesting. There's a bathing area in it. This is the first time I've seen a bathing area like this."
An Yan chuckled and said, "If you like, you can stay for a few more days, or I can send someone to build one for you."
"No need, why bother with so much trouble." Mancao repeatedly said it was not necessary.
Qingfeng asked, "Where's Li Rongsen? Why can't I see him?"
"He is busy outside and probably won't be back." An Yan said.
Qingfeng immediately looked disappointed and said, "Really? But I really want to see him."
An Yan had no choice. She had no reason to call Li Rongsen over now, so she could only say, "Next time, if he's free, he can come see you. Or if you have anything to tell me, I can pass it on for you. It's the same thing."
"Okay." Qingfeng nodded slightly and added, "I want to learn how to do business from him. We have many good things in our forest. Maybe we can exchange them for some money to improve our living standards."
"Okay, I can help you too. Just tell me." An Yan said.
An old man walked in from outside and said, "City Lord, I've already told them to prepare dinner. Are you staying here today?"
"You don't have to leave today, but you have to leave for a while tomorrow morning because we have some things to take care of." An Yan told him.
"I knew you would be very busy, so I was worried all the way whether I would disturb you." Mancao was a little embarrassed.
"I won't disturb you. It's just that I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't arrange a time in advance. It's not a big deal. I'll be there soon." An Yan gestured to her not to be embarrassed, while going to her closet to look for clothes.
Mancao asked: "An Yan, what are you doing? Why are you carrying so many clothes? Do you need my help?"
"Look and see which one you like. Take whatever you like. They are all new. They are all silks sent from the North Courtyard." An Yan said to her with a smile. While looking at Qingfeng, she said, "Wait a minute." After that, she went to Li Rongsen's house.
He also had a lot of clothes, which he brought from the North Courtyard. They almost matched the ones in her room. Li Rongsen wouldn't come back anyway, so he naturally wouldn't wear them. It would be a waste to just keep them, so it would be better to give them away.
Qingfeng felt embarrassed and said, "This, isn't very good."
"There's nothing wrong with it. You and Li Rongsen have similar body shapes. He has never worn it, so it's new." An Yan signaled the servants in the corridor to come in and fold it.
Mancao said, "They say West City is rich, and it's true."
An Yan didn't respond and just asked them to drink tea.
At this moment, Yan Qingqiu came in from outside. He was startled at first, then asked, "Who are these two?"
"It's my friend." An Yan replied, then asked, "Why are you here?"
"Of course I have something to talk to you about." Yan Qingqiu said as he pulled An Yan aside and whispered to her, "Li Rongsen told me today that he wants to marry you."
"He actually discussed it with you. It's unbelievable." An Yan thought he was just talking and would forget about it, but it turned out that he was serious.
"He said that I can still pursue you and he won't interfere with our future developments, but you must marry him." Yan Qingqiu said this angrily.
Of course he gave birth. It's amazing that he could say such nonsense. If I didn't know that he had no memory at all, I would have beaten him up.
An Yan frowned and said, "Just treat it as nonsense."
"No matter what, you have to marry him," Yan Qingqiu said.
"I won't marry." An Yan refused immediately.
"Why don't you get married? It's such a good opportunity. Be Mrs. Li in name only first, and then we can talk about other things later." Yan Qingqiu thought this was a good idea. Old Master Li was smarter than him and was simply a god's assist. There was no need to worry that Li Rongsen would not be An Yan's.
An Yan said, "You really think marriage is a joke? You'll have to live in the same room, go out together, and put on a show in front of people. Do you really think Mr. Li is so easy to fool?"
"Are you willing to marry him?" Yan Qingqiu asked her.
"I don't want to answer this question." An Yan avoided the main point.
"You clearly know what's going on, so don't be angry with Li Rongsen. Just get married first and talk about it later. It will be easier to pursue her this way. At least you have a nominal identity, and it will be easier to chase other women away." Yan Qingqiu thought that there was no need to think about this matter, and they should get married first and talk about it later.
An Yan lowered her eyes and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. I'll entertain the two guests first."
"Let me entertain you. You have to go back. Rong Qian is looking for you everywhere. I heard that Mr. Li refuses to take medicine." Yan Qingqiu said.
Well, Li Rongsen was right. Old Master Li really knows how to seize the opportunity to make trouble.
An Yan naturally didn't dare to stay any longer. She explained the situation to Mancao and Qingfeng, then went to get her backpack and took out her cell phone. There were many missed calls, all from the Li family.
