Chapter 206 The Willful Miss Fang
Wu Gousheng stood outside the door, like a guard.
The soft whispers coming from inside the house gave him goosebumps.
How could someone as brave as Chen Yongnian utter such nauseating words?
The way he coaxed Wan Qiqi was completely different from usual; it was as if he were coaxing a child.
Wu Gousheng became increasingly eager to try it.
He couldn't help but wonder when he would be able to marry a wife as wonderful as Wan Qiqi; his parents would probably be overjoyed!
Thinking of this, he felt a pang of sadness.
I've been away for so long, I wonder how my parents are doing?
Are they worried about themselves?
He thought about it carefully and couldn't help but laugh at himself.
They only had eyes for their clever younger brother; how could they possibly care about their wayward son?
No matter what he does, he can't compare to his younger brother!
Is your sister in the camp?
The sudden noise pulled Wu Gousheng from his thoughts.
He quickly looked up.
Before them stood a handsome young man, dressed in fine clothes, upright and aloof.
"Um... here..." Wu Gousheng didn't recognize him at first, but felt he looked familiar. He must be a young master from some wealthy family. "My sister isn't feeling well. Is there something you need?"
Su Jie took out a bulging cloth bag and handed it to Wu Gousheng. "It's nothing, I just wanted to thank her. Here are some wild fruits that can whet her appetite; she should need them."
Wu Gousheng was stunned for a moment, then immediately freed one hand.
The cloth bag was made of some kind of fabric, but it felt very comfortable to the touch.
"Thank you." He quickly put it away, then looked up and asked, "What's your name? I need to tell my sister who said it!"
Su Jie smiled faintly, his expression slightly distant, "Su Jie."
"Su... Su Jie!" Wu Gousheng almost dropped what he was holding in fright.
He circled around Su Jie, then asked with some surprise, "Are you really Su Jie? The son of Magistrate Su?"
Su Jie nodded slightly.
At this moment, Chen Yongnian's voice came from inside the tent, "Gousheng, please invite Young Master Su in!"
“Okay, brother-in-law!” Wu Gousheng replied smoothly, lifting the tent flap to welcome Su Jie.
The little monkey was still sitting in the corner holding the wolf cub, but Wan Qiqi's emotions were noticeably more stable than before.
Chen Yongnian stood in the center, raised his hand to bow to Su Jie, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Young Master Su!"
Su Jie nodded in return and looked at Wan Qiqi, who was sitting there, "In the mountain stronghold, we are very grateful to Sister-in-law Chen for saving us from certain death."
Wan Qiqi had expected someone to come and thank her, but she never imagined that the first person to do so would be Su Jie.
At that time, the sons and daughters of wealthy families were almost divided into two factions.
On one hand, there are those who, along with Fang Luxue, target her and dislike her.
On the other side, some young ladies from Hefeng Town helped her and explained the situation to her.
There were also some people who didn't participate in the discussion, one of whom was Su Jie!
He was not only someone who didn't participate, but someone who remained almost entirely uninvolved from beginning to end.
Wan Qiqi's impression of him could almost be described as "reclusive".
This person doesn't show his emotions and keeps to himself, making him seem out of place in a crowd.
A faint smile appeared on Wan Qiqi's pale face. "No need to thank me. All I did was try to save my own life."
She is not a savior, she has no great compassion, she just wants to live for herself!
Su Jie did not refute, but simply nodded slightly.
He was very polite, and after thanking them, he didn't look at Wan Qiqi again, but looked at Chen Yongnian. "I thank Brother Chen for risking his life to climb the cliff, which allowed us to be rescued. I wonder if Brother Chen is interested in joining the county government? I can ask my father to recommend him to the prefect."
Chen Yongnian did not expect him to make such an invitation.
Entering the county government office is equivalent to entering an official career; the path ahead will be completely different.
However, since he was recommended by Pinghe County, he could only take up a post in Pinghe County.
He pondered for a while before replying, "Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Su. I wish to spend the rest of my life with my wife and have no plans to leave my hometown for the time being."
Su Jie was neither impatient with his long delay in replying nor angry at his refusal. He simply smiled faintly and said, "I will not disturb you further. Please rest well."
He nodded to the two men and slowly left the tent.
Wan Qiqi felt that this person had a scholarly air about him, just like Wan Ziyan, but also different from Wan Ziyan.
Wan Ziyan gives people a sense of peace, but this person gives people a sense of distance.
After everyone left, Wu Gousheng hurriedly took out the wild fruits from the cloth bag, wiped them clean, and handed them to Wan Qiqi only after making sure they were clean.
Wan Qiqi was unsure whether she should answer the call.
She was quite certain that the contents of the cloth bag were cleaner than Wu Gousheng could wipe himself clean.
But it seems impolite not to answer?
Seeing her hesitation, Chen Yongnian reached out and took the bag from Wu Gousheng's hands, placed it in front of Wan Qiqi, and looked up at Wu Gousheng, saying, "Go and have fun! I'll keep my wife company here."
"Oh!" Wu Gousheng pouted, picked up some wild fruit, and left the tent.
Wan Qiqi lowered her head and carefully selected one. She rubbed it in her palm a couple of times before putting it in her mouth.
She didn't know what the wild fruit was called, but it tasted alright, sweet and sour.
Actually, it's not that I don't know what wild fruits are called; the system shop just gave me a hint.
But she had a headache at the moment and didn't hear a word.
Who cares what it's called or how much it costs, let's eat it first!
At this moment, she misses the perilla and jujube, and that sweet and sour taste.
Chen Yongnian finally felt relieved when he saw Wan Qiqi finally eating.
Just then, a dark figure darted into the tent and rushed straight at Wan Qiqi.
