Chapter 485 Come Eat with Me
"Aren't you afraid that I'll be angry?" Although Li Rongsen said this, he was actually not angry at all. He just wanted to tease her.
An Yan smiled and said, "I'm even angrier, so get out of here." She continued to push Li Rongsen out the door, and had already pushed him to the door.
Li Rongsen pressed his forehead against An Yan's and said, "Then you have to give me some benefits."
An Yan couldn't do anything with him, so she raised her chin and kissed him on the lips, but heard a "click" sound.
Li Rongsen and An Yan both looked over there and found that it was an old man who had fallen to the ground. He said, "I didn't see anything. I was going to say that the sad wind has passed. You guys continue. I didn't see anything." Then he got up and was about to leave, but he was tripped again and fell to the ground. Then he got up again and limped out of the yard.
An Yan felt a little embarrassed and said, "Go back quickly, I'm sleepy."
Li Rongsen put his arm around An Yan's neck and brought her closer to him, then pressed hard on her lips before leaving.
An Yan closed the door and went back to the desk by the window to write a novel. When she looked up, she saw the moon grass swaying by the window. She couldn't help but touch it lightly with the tip of her pen, causing it to scatter a lot of sparkling light powder, which fell on the notebook and disappeared.
An Yan had almost finished writing and was about to make the first revision. She looked out the window and saw that it was already late. She covered the notebook, changed her clothes, and quietly left her room.
She didn't know that Li Rongsen had not slept either. He was sitting by the window reading a book, and from time to time he looked at the movements outside. He had guessed that something had happened to An Yan, so he quickly put down the book in his hand and followed her out.
An Yan walked around several courtyards and came to the workshop. It was a large courtyard with many production departments. Carpentry, brocade weaving, kiln firing, etc. were all arranged here and separated by walls.
The custom jewelry workshop is also here.
An Yan originally thought that no one was working at this time, but she found that someone was still making jewelry. She couldn't help but feel curious. She pushed the door open and asked, "It's late at night, why aren't you resting yet?"
The man was startled at first, then turned around to look. Seeing that it was An Yan, he quickly stood up and said, "City Lord."
An Yan recognized this person. His name was Xu Gongze. He had just arrived in the city two years ago and was a handsome young man praised by everyone. He only loved making jewelry and didn't care about anything else. Although there were always girls who liked him, he had never fallen in love with anyone.
"I wonder why the city lord is here?" Xu Gongze asked.
An Yan said, "I'll make something."
"The city lord can leave it to me. I will do it. This is also my responsibility." Xu Gongze was an extremely polite man. He never dared to look An Yan in the eye.
An Yan said: "Go back and rest."
Xu Gongze asked again: "Is the city lord worried about my craftsmanship?"
"No, I want to make this myself." An Yan told him bluntly, then looked at him and said, "What are you doing? Is this gold jewelry?"
"Yes, the old man asked me to make a gold necklace." Xu Gongze said as he handed the unfinished gold necklace to An Yan.
An Yan didn't take it, but just looked at it for a few seconds. She couldn't help but sigh at his superb craftsmanship and said, "It's indeed a good craftsmanship, but what I want to do today is not about craftsmanship, but about dedication."
Xu Gongze went to see An Yan because of this and said, "Oh, I understand. I'll go back first."
An Yan nodded, and after seeing Xu Gongze return, she began to work first. She did not choose a very special material, only gold, firstly because it can ward off evil spirits, and secondly because it is in line with traditional meanings.
The people in the room were doing it very attentively, and the people outside were also watching carefully. Li Rongsen stood under the moonlight, looking through the window to see An Yan busy inside. He couldn't help but raise his hand to look. His ring was not there yet. Maybe she was preparing for him. He felt happy just thinking about it. When he was about to go into the room, someone pulled his sleeve. He turned around and saw it was Yan Qingqiu.
Yan Qingqiu said, "You actually followed and monitored An Yan, be careful that you will be beaten to death by the old man."
Li Rongsen disagreed and said, "I want to go in and help."
"What's your help? Come with me." Yan Qingqiu pulled his hand and went back.
Li Rongsen threw off Yan Qingqiu's restraints and said, "Why did you show up? I was afraid that An Yan would be too late. One more person's help would make it faster."
"If she needed your help, she would have called you. If she didn't call you, then she doesn't need you." Yan Qingqiu thought Li Rongsen was also stupid, and said to him, "Besides, why don't you just wait quietly for a surprise to appear?"
"That's true." Li Rongsen also felt that there was some truth in it and asked Yan Qingqiu, "Why are you up too?"
"I can't sleep." Yan Qingqiu told the truth.
"Are you thinking of something?" Li Rongsen asked him, and the first thing that came to his mind was that he still felt sad.
But Yan Qingqiu said, "Come on, accompany me to the kitchen to eat."
Li Rongsen finally reacted and said, "You can just go eat by yourself, why bother dragging me along?"
"How can you go to the kitchen to eat if I don't take you? I will be the only one punished later." Yan Qingqiu looked worried and motioned Li Rongsen to help him. His stomach was growling with hunger.
"I told the servants to make you something to eat."
"It's impossible to do it for me, but it's okay to do it for Anyan or for you." Yan Qingqiu reminded him.
"It's so late, everyone is asleep." Li Rongsen didn't want to wake anyone up. After thinking for a while, he said, "How about this, I'll cook for you."
"I don't want to eat anymore. I suddenly realized I'm full. I'm going back to sleep now." Yan Qingqiu hurriedly wanted to escape back to his room, thinking that Li Rongsen burning food was worse than not eating and starving.
"Hey, what do you mean? Are you hungry or not?" Li Rongsen frowned, and seeing An Yan coming back to the courtyard, she asked, "What are you doing in the middle of the night?"
Yan Qingqiu was about to close the door when he heard An Yan's voice and hurried out again, saying, "An Yan, Li Rongsen is hungry."
"Really?" An Yan said as she walked into the yard and looked towards Li Rongsen.
"He just woke me up and asked me to cook for him, but I'm not good enough to do that." Yan Qingqiu said as he ran to Li Rongsen and pulled his clothes.
Li Rongsen asked An Yan: "Are you tired? You don't have to force yourself."
"I'm not tired. I'll go cook for you." An Yan said as she went to the kitchen. She could have cooked in the small kitchen in the yard, but there were not enough ingredients here.
Yan Qingqiu was so happy that he almost jumped up. He gave Li Rongsen a thumbs up and said, "Let's go, let's go eat."
Li Rongsen had no choice but to follow An Yan to the kitchen with Yan Qingqiu.
The large kitchen was spacious enough to be illuminated even by the moonlight from outside. Therefore, Yan Qingqiu said, "I think there's no need to light a lamp. We can see everything."
"Whatever I want," An Yan replied. She was terrified of Yan Qingqiu's subtle thoughts. He was afraid of waking up the others, and then getting to the old man's ears. If he knew she'd cooked, he'd have to kick him out of West City.
Yan Qingqiu chuckled and lit a small candle, placing it on the stove to illuminate An Yan.
Li Rongsen was worried that An Yan would be overworked, so he said, "Don't make too much. If you have something ready, just heat it up. It will be more convenient. It's late now, and eating too much will cause food stagnation."
