Xiaowan shook her head and nodded immediately. ”You are Manager Ling, right?”

Ling Chaofeng asked: ”Since you know, why did you run last night?”

Xiaowan lowered her head and pursed her lips, her fingers twisting around her belt as she fearfully said: ”Regarding the marriage proposal, since my father is not at home, I, I also do not know who you are. Since we have never kowtowed before … Our marriage is not counted, I want to go find my father. ”

”Where's your father?”

”I don't know.” Xiaowan shook her head. Her face was pale, her beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with autumn water. She mumbled, ”Uncle Zhou from the blacksmith's shop must know about this, so …” ”I …”

At this time, there was a voice from outside, saying that it was looking for the shopkeeper. Ling Chaofeng responded, he got up and was about to leave, but when he turned around, he pointed at the noodles on the table, and said with the same ice-cold tone: ”Whether you eat it or not is up to you.”

The Xiaowan lowered her head and did not dare to reply. Ling Chaofeng left very quickly, but she suddenly discovered that he was wearing a Jade Ring on the ring finger of his right hand. He did not remember if he was wearing it when he woke up, but at this moment, it was her first time seeing this ring.

He raised his hands and looked around, thinking that perhaps Ling Chaofeng had helped her to wear it, and wanted to take it off, but could not.

Suddenly, her stomach rumbled as she began to growl. She was extremely hungry, and the fragrance of the noodles was too enticing. However, when she thought of the villagers' words and the person whose toes had been chopped off yesterday … Thus, he picked up the half steamed bun and slowly ate it with the tea.

After eating her fill and gaining strength and vigor, Xiaowan was still determined to leave. She noticed the clean clothes on the bedside and went to put them on, then took a handkerchief to wrap two steamed buns and put them in her arms before coming out.

He timidly walked down the stairs and met the burly man from yesterday who was carrying half a big fat pig. When he saw her, he waved his bloody hands and greeted, ”Yo, Manager, you're up.”
