Chapter 397: Chapter 397: Discussing the Car Purchase
“Teacher! Teacher, you have finally come to bid me farewell!”
Gan Miaoruo’s excitement brought forth torrents of tears.
Liu Sisi noticed the hastened speed of the caravan. Clearly, the carriage was not going to stop. Not caring about the onlookers, she bellowed out loudly!
“Ruo Ruo, catch this!”
As she spoke, a bundle flew into the window.
Gan Miaoruo instinctively reached for it, but missed. The bundle fell into the car.
She quickly bent over to pick it up. Waving it frantically at Liu Sisi, she said, “Teacher, you must remember what you promised me. You have to visit me! Teacher!”
“Ruo Ruo! Take good care of yourself, okay? Ruo Ruo…”
She put her hands to her mouth in a trumpet shape, shouting loudly.
Di Yelei steered his jujube red horse forward, closely following the carriage.
Up ahead, the manager noticed the scene and couldn’t help but report to Gan Jiayou, “Your Honor, the Eldest Miss and the son-in-law are chasing after the carriage. Should we stop and wait?”
Gan Jiayou was initially resting with his eyes closed. Upon hearing the news, he slowly opened his eyes, stretched out and opened the curtain of the carriage to look outside.
From his direction, he could see the jujube-red horse on the wharf galloping in pursuit, its flying mane and dancing hooves desperately chasing after everyone.
He casually let down the carriage curtain and closed his eyes again. “No need to stop. We have already delayed enough time getting to the capital city. We cannot linger on the road any longer.”
“Yes, Your Honor!”
The manager took his leave.
Liu Sisi and her two companions chased the carriage for quite some time. They ran until they reached a mountain bay where the terrain suddenly narrowed, making it impossible to ride beside the carriage. With no other choice, Di Yelei pulled back on the reins, watching as the caravan gradually moved further away.
“Sisi, should we keep chasing?”
“No more chasing. Let’s go back.”
Liu Sisi gently shook her head, her body deflating as she snuggled back into His warmth.
“Okay. Let’s go back.”
Di Yelei simply agreed. He pulled on the horse’s reins and turned it around, heading back the way they had come.
“Sisi, why don’t we buy a carriage while we still have some money at home? What do you think?”
Jolted by the wind earlier and then a fast run, Liu Sisi was freezing. Hearing Di Yelei’s suggestion, she was immediately interested.
“Getting a carriage would be great. But, where will we find one, and where will we find a coachman?”
“It’s not difficult. Doesn’t the old woman, Nanny Wang in the county city, deal with slaves? I mean, we could first buy two slaves, like Ruo Ning, for you to command. As you get heavier with pregnancy, you may find these people quite useful. By the time you give birth and go through confinement, it would be very convenient.”
Liu Sisi couldn’t help but turn around, staring in surprise at Di Yelei.
Di Yelei lowered his head and looked at her curiously, “What’s the matter? Why are you staring at me like that?”
“I just didn’t expect… didn’t expect you to think about these things.”
Liu Sisi really didn’t expect it. Di Yelei, who used to seem so naive and honest, actually planned to buy slaves. Speaking of buying slaves, her modern-educated mentality found it a bit hard to accept.
