C23 (1/2)

Yue Huaiyin also recognized the Xiaowan. She gracefully nodded and smiled towards him.

When she entered the tavern that day, and saw that the young lady and the older woman were both dressed in coiffure, she thought in her heart that there must be a wife of the Manager Ling. I wonder what age Manager Ling is, and which one of them is the real Madam.

Even though she was anxious to get out this morning, she still dressed up well and was unwilling to go to the yamen to embarrass Ling Chaofeng. She was still a newlyweds, and the wardrobe was filled with festive colors. She wore a bright red dress, with a black gold cloud on a white background, and a red silk belt tied to one side, floating long in the wind.

As for Xiaowan, she was a bashful and gentle little woman. She did not understand the etiquette of a large family, but since she was young, she knew how to be polite.

It was not a good day to exchange pleasantries, and she was not here to visit Rouge Shop, but to look for her husband.

After saluting, Xiaowan headed towards the north. After walking a few steps, someone shouted from behind him, ”young lady, head towards the south.

Xiaowan looked back in panic. North or south? She was even more confused. Seeing that, Yue Huaiyin picked up her skirt and walked towards her, as if she wanted to ask what was wrong.

”Xiaowan?”

It was at this moment that a familiar voice sounded from afar.

The Xiaowan turned around when she heard her husband's voice. Ling Chaofeng was still very far away from her, but just by looking at her back, he could already recognize his.

”Hubby, hubby …”

Yue Huaiyin had yet to reach Xiaowan when she saw the petite one lifting up her skirt and running towards a man in the distance. From a distance, she could not see the face of the man, but his tall and straight body slowly came from the morning light.

Xiaowan was in a hurry to run, but she still kept up with the train. She had never worn such clothes before, so when she started running, her legs felt like they were tied up with ropes. Her steps could not keep up with her anxiety as her weight pushed forward and she fell to the ground with a thud.

Ling Chaofeng rushed over and carried the person on the ground. His small face was filled with shock and his eyes were filled with tears, she looked at him very carefully, almost as if he was afraid to recognize the wrong person.

”We've only been apart for a night, and you already don't recognize me?” Ling Chaofeng helped the Xiaowan stand up, and asked with a dark expression: ”What are you doing here, so early? Weren't you supposed to be waiting for me at home?”

Ling Chaofeng was out all night, not having a shave, with some stubble on his chin. Xiaowan reached out to touch it, and yesterday morning, she even got some hot water to heat up her husband's face and shave, he was her husband.

Ling Chaofeng bent over and brushed off the dust on the Xiaowan's dress, asking: ”Did it hurt when you fell, did you run out by yourself?”

Xiaowan was just laughing idiotically, the corners of her mouth raised to her ears.

”I'll deal with you when we get back.” Seeing how happy Xiaowan was, and knowing that she was worrying about her safety, Ling Chaofeng couldn't help but feel his heart soften. He patted her forehead, ”Alright, let's go home.”

The shop assistants at the side were originally playing with Xiaowan and pointing her in the opposite direction. Fortunately, there were still people with a bit of conscience, when they saw that the man from young lady had arrived and that such extraordinary looking people were all hiding in the shop.

Naturally, the Xiaowan would not drag Ling Chaofeng to make a fuss about it. Instead, he saw Yue Huaiyin standing by the side of the road, and thought of how the other party had taken the initiative to greet him, so he said to his husband: ”This is the Boss Yue that passed by our inn that day.”

Ling Chaofeng signed his name with a bow, Huai Yin Fu returned the gesture, raising his eyes. He looked into the eyes of the man with the extraordinary temperament, even though the stubble on his chin looked somewhat aged, if he were to tidy it up, it would definitely be a shockingly handsome face.

The young woman's heart trembled. Could it be that the handsome Young Noble that Little Cui talked about in the carriage was him?

”Miss Yue, next time you pass our inn, please come and have a cup of tea.” Xiaowan said politely as she gave her husband a sweet smile, ”Hubby, let's go home. Since Aunt has lost me, she must be worried.”

As they walked side by side, the man's footsteps were like the wind and the young lady's lovely and clumsy. In the morning light, he gradually walked further and further away, and the streets became more and more lively, all sorts of shops were opening. Yue Huaiyin was startled for a moment, and then the shop assistant next door ran over and asked: ”Boss Yue, you know them?”

Yue Huaiyin nodded: ”That day, when I came from the pier, and went to sit at their inn, it was the Ling Xiao Inn's shopkeeper and … His wife. ”

The shop assistant was startled, he looked around and asked: ”That man is Ling Chaofeng?”

Huaiyin asked back, ”What's wrong?”

The shop assistant kept on telling her the legends of Ling Xiao Inn, and they had heard quite a few stories about Ling Chaofeng, but very few people had actually seen this kind of person before. He advised Boss Yue not to enter the shop again, so as to not lose his life and to not harm his wealth.
