Wen Nongnong mumbled indistinctly, "As you can see, she's so hungry she could eat a whole cow."
Xiao Yan: "..."
Just as he was about to say something more, a chicken leg was suddenly placed in his bowl.
He was taken aback, looked up at Gu Linchao, and stammered, "For...for me?"
Gu Linchao glanced at him. "It's all in your bowl now, what do you say?"
Xiao Yan was immediately flattered and surprised. "I never thought that one day, Hengzhi, you would actually know how to be filial to your uncle. It's really touching."
Gu Linchao felt a vein throb on his forehead, regretting putting the chicken leg on his plate.
This guy is not a normal person.
At that moment, two pairs of chopsticks simultaneously picked up some food and placed it in his bowl.
He paused for a moment, then looked at the two of them.
Wen Nongnong said with a smile, "Your Highness, don't just keep putting food on our plates, eat some more yourself too."
Xiao Yan said somewhat awkwardly, "Don't say that your uncle doesn't love you. The duck neck I put on your plate is my favorite food."
Gu Linchao: "..." Could he say he didn't want it? Did Xiao Yan think everyone was like him and liked eating duck necks?
He rubbed his temples, wanting to return the clip to him, but knowing Xiao Yan's personality, if he took it back, he would definitely nag endlessly, which would indeed go against his good intentions.
Wen Nongnong seemed to know his predicament. She reached out with her chopsticks and put the duck neck from his bowl into her own. "Uncle, I also like to eat duck neck." As she spoke, she put some beef on Gu Linchao's plate.
A warm feeling washed over Gu Linchao.
Xiao Yan ordered a lot of dishes, filling the table to the brim, all of which were the restaurant's signature dishes.
"I didn't expect Si Luo to be telling the truth. This restaurant isn't big, but the food is so delicious." She rubbed her round belly and muttered to herself.
Gu Linchao heard this and turned to look at her. "What did Si Luo say to you?"
Wen Nongnong was surprised that he had such sharp ears and could hear this. After a pause, she had no choice but to tell him about Si Luo's invitation to have lunch here that morning.
"But I didn't agree." She couldn't help but add, noticing the man's somewhat gloomy expression.
Xiao Yan chimed in from the side, "You mean that kid Si Luo? That kid is very cunning. Let me give you a piece of advice: don't get too close to him, or you'll be sold out and still be obediently counting silver for him."
Wen Nongnong said, "I know, I won't associate with him."
"That's good, I can rest assured, Uncle," Xiao Yan said.
Wen Nongnong's lips twitched. Just as she was about to say something, she heard him earnestly say, "You are a married woman now. You should keep your distance from other men when you are out. Don't tarnish my nephew's reputation."
Wen Nong Nong frowned. These words made it sound as if she had an ambiguous relationship with other men.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" She spat at him, got up, grabbed Gu Linchao's hand, and left.
Xiao Yan realized what was happening and shouted, "I didn't bring any money..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the restaurant staff surrounded him.
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out a silver ingot and placed it on the table. "Keep the change." After saying that, he hurriedly followed her downstairs.
As we left the restaurant, Si Yi happened to walk over. "I've found an inn; it's not far ahead."
The group then moved to the inn, intending to stay there for the night.
Since it was still early, after settling in at the inn, the group decided to go out for a stroll together.
There's not much entertainment at night in small towns. As soon as it gets dark, the vendors pack up their stalls, and the streets quickly become deserted.
At this time, only gambling dens and brothels were still somewhat lively.
As they passed by these two places, Xiao Yan suggested, "It's still early, why don't we go in and sit down?"
Gu Linchao ignored him and pulled Wen Nongnong away.
Xiao Yan was a little disappointed. "What's wrong? Come in and sit down. We didn't ask you to do anything. Why are you acting like you're avoiding us?"
Wen Nongnong whispered to Gu Linchao, "Uncle is getting on in years and still hasn't gotten married. Could it be that he has some kind of strange fetish?"
Just as Gu Linchao was about to say something, Xiao Yan suddenly squeezed in from behind, forcefully separating the two, and then said to Wen Nongnong, "Do you think Hengzhi is a real gentleman? He's only pretending now because you're here. If you weren't here, he would definitely have come in with me. All crows are black, there are no exceptions."
Gu Linchao's temple throbbed; now he really wanted to shut Xiao Yan up.
Sure enough, Wen Nongnong turned to look at him, "Your Highness, is what my uncle said true? Apart from that time at Baihualou, have you ever been to a brothel before?"
Before Gu Linchao could speak, Xiao Yan, always eager to stir up trouble, said, "Of course he's been there. Otherwise, how did he manage to grow up without a single woman by his side?"
His words were somewhat ambiguous, but both Wen Nongnong and Gu Linchao understood what he meant.
Wen Nongnong paused, looked at Gu Linchao with a scrutinizing gaze, and asked seriously, "How has Your Highness managed to get through these years?"
Gu Linchao's face darkened, and his icy gaze shot straight at Xiao Yan. He sneered, "You frequent brothels, but why are you still a virgin? How have you managed to survive all these years?"
Xiao Yan froze, looking at him as if struck by lightning.
Gu Hengzhi actually revealed all his secrets like that?
How will he ever face the world again?
Wen Nongnong was also stunned, but she was even more surprised that Gu Linchao could be so sharp-tongued.
but--
She sized up Xiao Yan.
She never expected that Xiao Yan, who seemed like a seasoned lover, was actually a virgin.
So, if he frequented brothels, wasn't he just wasting his time?
Xiao Yan realized what was happening and quickly tried to salvage the situation, "Nong Nong, don't listen to his nonsense. The women I've been with could line up to the city gate. Unlike him, he only has you. Even though you're married, you're still a virgin. You're so pathetic, yet you have the nerve to talk about others."
Gu Linchao's handsome face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he sneered, "I'll say the same thing to you. If you're so successful, how come you're still all alone?"
Xiao Yan choked for a moment, and after a long while, he stammered, "I... I would rather have none than something bad."
"Is that really the case? Or is there something wrong with the product itself?" Gu Linchao retorted sarcastically.
Xiao Yan was so angry that he jumped up and down. "Gu Hengzhi, if it weren't for the fact that you are my junior, I would really beat you up. How can you talk to your uncle like that?"
"You know you're an elder, so you should act like one," Gu Linchao said coldly.
Xiao Yan: "..."
Wen Nongnong watched the two bickering, completely dumbfounded.
Unexpectedly, Gu Linchao got so angry that he spoke so venomously that even someone like Xiao Yan was so enraged that he jumped up and down.
Xiao Yan's face flushed red, and he suddenly said angrily, "Fine, I won't argue with a junior like you. You guys go explore on your own, I'm going back to sleep. I'm so angry!" After saying that, he sullenly walked towards the inn.
"Uncle..." Wen Nongnong called out when she saw that he was angry.
Xiao Yan ignored him and walked faster and faster until he was far away.
