”Little Li, has Yang Xuechen bullied you recently?” Sun Chun's expression was solemn, his eyes filled with killing intent, as he asked.
”Let me think about it.” Xia Li raised his wine cup, looked at Yang Xuechen, and smiled slightly. After muttering to himself for a moment, he replied: ”He indeed wanted to find trouble with me, but, you can ask, did he succeed?”
”Young Master Sun, don't worry, our Young Noble would never dare to treat Miss Xia Li lightly. On the contrary, Miss Xia Li would often bully our Master.” The steward came up to plead on behalf of his master with a wronged expression, afraid that another fight would occur.
I admit that I do have a lot of interest in Little Sister Xia Li, and out of admiration, I want to get closer to her. After all, the two of you are unmarried, so it can't be considered as overstepping the boundaries of what I am about to do.
The moment Yang Xuechen finished speaking, he threw the wine cup in front of him towards Yang Xuechen. With a * hua la * sound, Yang Xuechen opened up his fan, blocking all the alcohol, and with a wave, sparks flew in all directions. The two of them simultaneously extended out their fists and struck each other, causing their bodies to become unstable, and they both took a step back.
”Miss Xia Li, quickly go and persuade them, these two are fighting again.” The manager stood at the side and called out to Xia Li.
”Go ahead and call him. If you don't fight, then we won't be friends.” Xia Li picked up his wine cup and drank from it.
Sun Chun and Yang Xuechen naturally responded to Xia Li's words and released their attacks at the same time. Only after a few tens of moves, they were still inseparable, the fan in Yang Xuechen's hand pierced towards Sun Chun's throat, the part of the fan that was aimed straight at him revealed a sharp blade.
Just as the steward couldn't help but rush forward to mediate, the two of them actually took a step back at the same time. They put away their weapons and returned to the stone table to drink together.
”Sun Chun, is this the end? Rest for a while, don't disappoint Brother Yang's good intentions. ” Xia Li said, and gave Sun Chun some food to personally feed to his mouth.
Sun Chun was startled for a moment, she opened her mouth and swallowed the food, causing her wheat colored skin to actually turn slightly red.
”Sigh, in front of Brother Sun Chun, Little Sister Xia Li gently turned into a gust of spring wind, yet in front of me, she's so fierce, it really makes one's heart hurt.”
”Brother Yang, I know you are very mysterious, but you are also very rich. You are a business genius, people like you are really hard for people to see through, although you always say that you like me, but, if I really pounce towards you, I'm afraid that you will immediately pack up and run.”
”While you appear to be passionate, your heart is tightly shut. It would likely not be easy for outsiders to enter your heart.”
Xia Li's few sentences successfully made the smiling Yang Xuechen in front of him stop, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, waving the fan in his hand, he said.
”It's hard to tell for sure, but now that I've obtained Sister Xia Li's sincere words, it's not like I've wasted my time helping you. When people meet one another, they will smile, eat and drink to their heart's content. After all, there's so much you can think about, you'll grow old. ”
”Today is also the last day that I'll entertain you two. In the future, you must work hard and strive to expand your business. I hope that little sister Xia Li can quickly become the first rich female merchant in our Great Li Nation.” A hint of seriousness appeared in Yang Xuechen's eyes, and as he spoke, he raised his wine cup and gulped down all the wine in it.
”This time, many thanks for your help. But in the future, I will not let Little Li feel wronged again, to accompany any man.”
”I will take care of her problem for her.” Sun Chun's expression was solemn, a glint flashed past his eyes. After drinking all the wine in the cup, he pulled Xia Li into his embrace.
”She's following you!? I'm afraid that in the future, it will be extremely difficult. Sun Chun, you better not say all of your words too prematurely. Yang Xuechen smiled maliciously, and successfully saw the small flame that flickered in Sun Chun's eyes.
”Alright, I have my own business to busy. I earn a lot of money every year to keep him alive, so it's fine if I raise him. But of course it's hard work. Whose business is it that makes life easy?”
After Xia Li finished, she shook her head and became even more curious. Just as she was about to continue asking, Sun Chun had caught her attention in time.
”Little Li, it's getting late, so we should return early. After all, Brother Yang is going back to the capital tomorrow, so we should let him rest early and recuperate.”
”Alright, Brother Yang, thank you for taking care of me these past few days. My spirits have improved a lot, and I don't have any headaches. You can take good care of yourself, and try to find a wife for me as soon as possible.”
”Pfft!” Not unexpected, Yang Xuechen spat out the wine that just entered his mouth. He quickly waved his hands: ”No, I like freedom! ”I don't like being restricted by women!”
Yang Xuechen seemed to avoid Xia Li's gaze, or maybe he was really drunk, his steps were shaky, and he almost bumped into a rock. The manager immediately walked forward to support him, and then called for the servants to escort Yang Xuechen out of the carriage.
”Manager Yang, this is the banknote for the medicinal ingredients that I wanted to buy. I'll trouble you to give it to him, take your master back first, hubby and I want to go back.” As Xia Li spoke, he took out a note that cost a thousand silver and handed it over to the manager.
”Alright, then I will bring Master back first. Miss Xia Li and Young Master Sun, take care.” While the steward was speaking, the servants had already tidied up the items on the stone.
Xia Li and Sun Chun watched as Yang Xuechen's carriage drove off. Looking at the water flowing in the stream, the overlapping mountains and verdant trees, the two of them lied down on the grass, enjoying their rare time together.
