C73 (1/2)
At this point, she subconsciously glanced at the window at the next corner and was surprised to find that the room was lit, not to mention that the old customer, the Eighth Lord, was now back.
”Hmph, it must be him.”
As she spoke, Miss Han abruptly stood up. ”Let's go, let's take a look at him. We'd like to see how he changed?”
Wu Yuxue had some doubts in her heart about the sudden return of the Eighth Lord. Of course, she knew that he had great kung fu skills.
With Miss Han's voice so loud, it wouldn't be good if he heard her.
”Forget it, it's already so late …” Wu Yuxue said.
”Humph!” ”If there's nothing as good as this, I'll have to take a look at him.” Miss Han said. She did not seem to be displeased. ”He is already so old, yet he sneakily eavesdropped. What kind of intentions does he have?”
Wu Yuxue scolded him softly, ”Be quiet.” He pressed a finger to his lower lip, implying that he wanted her to be merciful.
How pampered was Miss Han, and who she cared about. She was about to open the door and go out alone to denounce the culprits.
Who would have thought that this would be such a coincidence?
As soon as Miss Han opened the door, she just so happened to meet the Eighth Lord coming in.
Under the moonlight, one would be seen as a deity.
He was holding a basket in one hand and knocking on the door with the other. He didn't even have the time to touch the door with his fingers before the door opened on its own.
It was all of a sudden, under such circumstances that Lady Han, Wu Yuxue, waved her hand and said repeatedly, ”I'm sorry, I'm sorry. There were even guests here. Let's talk about it tomorrow! ”
”Don't go.”
The one who spoke was the infuriated Miss Han.
Her eyes were wide open, and she had one hand on her waist.
”Old man, sit down and talk.”
As she spoke, she pointed to a seat beside her. ”Sit down, sit down, don't do this. This girl's eyes can't even rub in sand. You'd better not wear a leather jacket in front of me.”
Wu Yuxue was astonished. She had not expected this lady to have such a fiery temper. What kind of status did the Eighth Old Master have? How could he take advantage of her? It would be impossible for him to get away with it all of a sudden.
At that time, he had been listening and was just about to strike a blow, but he hadn't expected that the Eighth Old Master would actually be able to bend the rules and stretch out the situation as he muttered, ”What are you trying to poke through …” Leather coat? ”Who wears what?”
As she said that, she really did sit down and didn't leave. She raised the bamboo basket in her hand and said to Wu Yuxue, ”This is a fried steamed bun that has just come out of the pot. Eat it while it's still hot. Coincidentally, there are guests here, let's have a taste! ”
Wu Yuxue took it and said, ”You are too kind.”
He touched the bamboo basket and felt that it was quite hot. He thought about going back and forth from Guo and Hu's residence to the inn, but there was a long way to go. From this, he could tell how fast the eighth grandfather was.
Wu Yuxue smiled and said to the girl, ”It's still warm? Taste one! ”
As he did so, he sent the bamboo basket over.
Miss Han snorted and turned her head to the side.
Wu Yuxue picked one up, turned the basket to the Eighth Old Master and said, ”You should try one too!”
The eighth grandfather chuckled and patted his belly, saying, ”I've had enough to eat and drink, there's no need to be polite. I haven't asked, this lady's surname is Fang, her name is …”
Although he was speaking to Miss Han, his eyes were staring straight at Wu Yuxue, wanting him to speak up for her.
Lady Han snorted and rolled her eyes at him before turning her head to the side again.
Wu Yuxue smiled, shook her head and said, ”You've asked me about this, even I don't know about it.”
Miss Han sneered, her clear eyes looking straight at the Eighth Old Master, ”Don't ask me, talk about yourself first.” What do they call you? What's your surname? Could it be that its surname is Eight? ”
”That's fine,” the eighth grandfather didn't think that he was offended. He stretched out a snow-white hand and lightly stroked his long beard, saying, ”As long as you're happy, little girl, you can call me 'eighth sir'.”
Miss Han said, ”Alright, let's call you that. I only want to know, why did you sneak up on me just now? Is it you? ”
The Eighth Old Master shook his head and said, ”Nonsense, nonsense. How many times have I been in my room? I'm not a flying thief, so why would I stay on the right path and go through the windows in my room? Little girl, do you think so? ”
Miss Han couldn't help but blush. A few words from him actually seemed like it was about her, because when she'd come to rob the house earlier, she'd been turned into a thief by his words and had been angered to the point that she couldn't break out because of his amiable appearance.
Naturally, with Miss Han's icy intelligence, she was not someone who would let her emotions run rampant. After thinking for a moment, she actually calmed down.
She had long since left her heart open to this old man who had suddenly appeared. She had also sent someone to investigate carefully these past two days, but the results were all illusory and indistinct.
She was still investigating the matter, so she didn't have any reason to wait and see until she got the exact information of the other party.
It seemed like this was a good opportunity that he could not afford to miss.
With that in mind, a smile finally blossomed on Miss Han's frosty face. She sized up the other and spoke haltingly, ”You're saying that I've misjudged you.” ”Eighth Mister, although I didn't see your face just now, I recognized your clothes …”
The Eighth Old Master chuckled and said, ”That's because you misjudged me, just like when I came back. It was so dark, like I saw a person with long hair that pierced the roof and spine, and it scared me. If I was like the girl, wouldn't I think of the girl as the same person? ”
The girl couldn't stop herself from giggling.
”You are an interesting old man. You are capable of making people angry, but you are also capable of making people happy. It's fine if it's over, but don't bring it up again. However, you must be more careful. Don't get hurt by me the next time, or else I won't be able to let you go. ”
The eighth grandfather snorted, nodded and said, ”I have to remember this. Otherwise, if I were to offend the lady again, this old life of mine will not be lived for long.”
While he was speaking, Miss Han carefully observed his face with a pair of wonderful eyes. The other person's accent and manner of speaking had finally reminded her of a person in a dream.
Instantly, she lost the smile on her face.
”Mr. VIII — I wanted to ask you about someone. Perhaps you know, please tell me.” Miss Han said.
”Then you've found the wrong person …” ”I don't know many people and I don't have many friends.”
”But this person, you might know.” Miss Han said.
