Chapter 8 (1/2)
Mrs. Long San the Hired a.s.sa.s.sin
Long San followed Feng Ning running all the way out the door, Feng Ning suddenly said, “Oops, I do not need to run, I have a patron. “ Long San replied:” Food heist patron? That is definitely not me. ”
Feng Ning grumpily glared at him, Long San said: ” A patron for buying something to eat, that I’m more than willing to be.”
“Hmph.” Feng Ning said,” then I’m forced to rely on you then . ”
Long San smiled, then took Feng Ning along towards the east of the downtown area. Feng Ning had never shopped here before, she looked curiously at everything she saw along the way, one moment taking a liking to a fancy clay figurine, saying to Long San: “I want that.” Another moment, fancying a wooden doll, saying,” I want to buy this one. ” Otherwise it was after very confidently picking out a kite, then telling Long San: “Fish out the money.”
Long San actually felt awkward, it’s not that he was stingy with money, but this woman is really taking him to be her husband. Thinking back when they would both stay at home and only exchange a few words, now she didn’t have any memory, and is completely unaffected by the past, she has entirely changed. But he cannot, ah, he remembers her clearly, he holds no ill feelings, but he is afraid it’s impossible.
This completely different Feng Ning laughs so happily, simple and candid, like a child. Most importantly, she kept a secret, now she has lost her memory, it’s a good opportunity to dig it out, and he had set out to get this from her.
As he was thinking this, he suddenly heard Feng Ning ask:” Husband, where did I enjoy to go play before?”
“I don’t know, I had never gone out with you.”
Feng Ning was stunned for a bit: “Didn’t you say it’s almost been three years? Not even once?”
Long San quietly replied “mm”, he said: “You would always go with your dowry maid.”
Feng Ning coming to a realization, tightly hugged the toys she just bought, forced a smile and said: “Then we can conveniently count this as a make-up for that.”
They fell into an awkward silence, after walking a while, Long San saw a restaurant, feeling somewhat relieved, he tugged Feng Ning and said: “This ZhenWei Lou is the most famous in the city, let’s go there.” Feng Ning was not one to refuse and followed behind him.
Long San was obviously very well acquainted with the place, the waiters and shopkeeper all knew him, when they saw him, they immediately came up and greeted: “San Ye.”
Long San asked for a private dining on the second floor, with a window overlooking Qingyang Lake, the scenery was quite good. Feng Ning put her belongings down, circled the room, listening to Long San praising the beautiful landscape, she went to the window and saw the clear lake, boats rowing on it, it was very enjoyable. Feng Ning looked at the Lake, but all at once felt dizzy, she held her head and then suddenly crouched down.
Long San was startled, he hurriedly held out a hand to support her, “What’s wrong with you?” Feng Ning stayed in silence for a while, then finally propped back up and leaned on the table, intentionally choosing a position with her back against the window: “When I see water, I feel like I am going to pa.s.s out. ”
Long San remembered the time he was with her at the cold river, she was also looking down at the river when she suddenly squatted down, presumably because of the same problem.
At this point, the waiter came in, poured hot tea, brought hot towels to wipe their hands, he glanced at Feng Ning, then smiled at Long San prying for gossip: “San Ye, this young lady is-?”
Long San took the menu from his hand, naturally changing the topic: “I haven’t been here for many days, do you have any new dishes?”
The waiter was someone who understood implications, when he did not get an answer, he hurriedly named the dishes. Feng Ning naturally could also tell from the conversation, she was a unsuitable-to- be-shown-in-public ‘Mrs. Long San’ . Feeling angry, she interrupted the waiter and said: “No need to read out the menu, just pick ten of the most fresh and expensive dishes, six meat and four vegetarian, if it’s not expensive, I don’t want it.”
The waiter, dumbfounded, looked at Long San. Feng Ning said: “what are you looking at, are you afraid San Ye can’t afford it?”
“No, no, I’m going right now, right now.” The waiter figured this lady was not one to be provoked, Long San also seemed to be fine with it, so he quickly withdrew.
Feng Ning let out a “hmph” sound, and unhappily scratched the table. Long San sighed: “This marriage between you and I was never made public, I have many friends in the city, if our marriage was talked of today, it is unavoidable that others would start questioning, which would naturally lead to having to explain, furthermore, you don’t remember anything, and throughout all this, there are many troublesome matters, therefore not saying anything is better than saying anything at all. ”
Feng Ning turned away, and “hmph”ed another sound, she’s not happy, who cares about stinking logic. Long San upon seeing this, paid her no heed, thankfully the appetizers arrived quickly, only now Feng Ning’s expression eased up, she picked up her chopsticks, and began to have a smiling expression.
Long San, seeing her happily eating, placed the second dish in front of her. He looked at her and said: “A starving ghost reborn.”
Feng Ning without looking at him, “Hmph”ed again, and then continued to stuff the food into her mouth. Long San looked at her and said: “You ‘hmph’ one more time, forget about the other dishes.”
“That won’t do, you already agreed to take me here to eat. “Feng Ning hearing that, finally responded.
“Do you know how much this meal of yours costs? You still dare to ‘ Hmph ‘ me. ”
“If you don’t want me to ‘hmph’, I won’t ‘hmph’!” Feng Ning partially emphasized the “hmph”; actually it counted as her “hmph”ing an extra two times. Afterwards, she felt she had taken advantage of him, so she secretly felt happy. Then she suddenly thought of it and quickly laid out his faults: “You’ve never taken me out to eat before, so now eating a good meal for the first time, it’s making up for that. What money? Stingy! ”
He said he had never been out with her before, therefore naturally never brought her out to eat, even without her memories, she can still grasp his weak point and threaten him, thus she was immensely pleased with herself, her raised eyebrows and pouting mouth expression was so rich, Long San couldn’t help but reach out and knock her on her head.
Feng Ning clutched her head, glared at him, then continued eating. Actually, this Wei Zhen Lou’s food indeed tasted good, dishes were also served quickly, Feng Ning, bite after bite, felt happier and happier.
After tasting each dish, she began to get down to business: “Long San, are you sincere in helping me to find the truth?”
“Long San?”
“You don’t recognize me as your wife, and if I call you Husband I would be at a huge disadvantage. Furthermore, didn’t you want to conceal the truth? If I call you Husband, isn’t that just giving it away? And I’m not your servant, so I wouldn’t call you master. ”
Long San choked, and could only answer: “Alright, it’s up to you.”
Feng Ning asked again: “You’re genuinely helping me right? There’s no hidden intentions*?”
“What hidden intentions?”
