”Xiaowan.” Yue Huaiyin said gracefully as she propped herself up, looking as intimate as ever, ”You're back, is it snowing outside?”

Xiaowan shook her head: ”It's not snowing, but it's very cold. The wind is strong. Miss Yue... What's the matter with you? ”

She slowly walked closer, seeing that her husband had removed his hand from Yue Huaiyin's bare ankle, reaching into the melted snow on the water basin to grab a cold towel, before he was about to put it on again, Xiaowan subconsciously said: ”Husband, let me do it.”

She stuffed the knee guards into Ling Chaofeng's arms and practically took off the towel, gently covering Miss Yue's ankles and asked with concern: ”Miss Yue, how did you fall down like this?”

”It was the box.” Yue Huaiyin explained the entire situation unhurriedly, and said, ”I've caused you and Manager Ling trouble.”

Xiaowan laughed: It's no trouble, your injury is more important, and we don't have a doctor here either. We should take advantage of the light of day to return to the town quickly, if not it'll be difficult to walk when it's dark. She turned around and said to Ling Chaofeng, ”Husband, tell Ershan not to keep the carriage and directly send Miss Yue back.”

Ling Chaofeng replied: ”The staff from Miss Yue has gone to fetch the person. They will be back soon.”

Xiaowan nodded, ”That's good.”

After that, he meticulously took care of Yue Huaiyin and asked her if she was hungry, thirsty, or thirsty. When Aunt Zhang went to take a look, she also said that her injuries were not light, and that she would not be able to recover even during the new year.

During this time, when Ling Chaofeng was not in front of him, when Xiaowan went downstairs to get food for Miss Yue, he saw the set of knee guards that she had bought were casually placed on the account book.

Yue Huaiyin did not even have time to eat before the people from her shop arrived. They were followed by Little Cui and a middle-aged woman.

Ling Chaofeng did not intervene, they were all surrounded by women, then the Xiaowan waved her hand and sent them off.

Outside, the wind was blowing strongly. Aunt Zhang rubbed her hands and said: ”Evening, are you hungry? Let's make some broth to eat. It's hot.”

The Xiaowan shook her head instead, ”I'm not hungry. Aunty, you guys eat. I'm going to rest for a while.”

She returned to the shop and headed straight up the stairs. Aunt Zhang followed her in and said to herself: ”Could it be because Susu was unhappy?”

When Ling Chaofeng heard his, he asked her what was going on, and Aunt Zhang said that the roasted chicken that Susu had bought was taken away smoothly from her stall.

Then, she returned to the kitchen and told her husband that Xiaowan didn't have any appetite. She should cook something sour and spicy for him to eat, but Uncle Biao asked him, ”Why are you still eating sour and sour?”

Aunt Zhang was startled for a moment. Suddenly, she shuddered and said softly: ”Could it be that young lady is jealous?”

Uncle Biao said that just now when Xiaowan came to get the food, she did not look too happy. She even stuffed the kneecaps that she bought for the shopkeeper into her pocket and muttered something about how it was nothing special. He smiled at his own wife: ”Why are you not as smart as me?

Aunt Zhang punched him, ”Didn't I follow you for twenty years? Don't worry about me.”

It was fine if it was an accident when Yue Huaiyin was mentioned, but if she had any intentions towards the inn, or the shopkeeper's thoughts, she would have two whenever she had one.

”What else have I not seen?” Aunt Zhang said in disdain, ”Although I was the one who lost, but it was precisely because I lost that I knew this was a road of no return. If my son doesn't have any future, the shopkeeper can't be confused, the Miss Yue won't have any results, why would she degrade herself? ”

Uncle Biao said: ”I hope we overthought it.”

Aunt Zhang was curious: ”Speaking of which, where did this Miss Yue come from? A girl opening a shop and doing business at such a young age, if she doesn't have background, she must have some special ability, what do you think?”

Uncle Biao smashed the dough onto the chopping board and said: ”I think our Xiaowan is not some useless girl. Don't worry, who cares what background she has, no matter how big she is, how could she be stronger than those two?”

The Aunt Zhang understood and laughed, ”What do you want to make?”

Uncle Biao said, ”I love eating wontons. I'll roll out some wontons skin.”

At this time, Xiaowan was roasting a fire in her house, holding the knee guards she bought for her husband, she was originally rushing back to present her treasures to him.

She didn't know why she didn't want to see Ling Chaofeng and Miss Yue alone in the room.

Especially since Miss Yue was still lying on the bed, her ankle was exposed.

Xiaowan fiddled with the charcoal in the furnace, her heart lit up when she saw the ring on her right hand. She quickly put down what she was doing, opened the window and stood by the window.

He had originally wanted to make a wish, hoping that Yue Huaiyin would recover early in the morning and cause more trouble later on. However, after thinking for a bit, if she recovered, he would immediately run over and thank her. Anyway, Xiaowan was not too happy to see her now.

The Xiaowan took a deep breath and coughed. Ling Chaofeng hurriedly closed the door and closed the window again, he frowned: ”It's so cold, why are you standing outside?”

Xiaowan stopped coughing and turned around to ignore him.

”So it was you who brought up the knee guard. I even said that I couldn't find it.” Ling Chaofeng said as he reached for it. Xiaowan quickly took it and held it in her arms.

No matter how she looked at the situation, it seemed like she was in an awkward situation. When she ran into the guest room happily, her expression immediately froze when she saw Yue Huaiyin.
