223 How Would They Get Together? (1/2)
[Huan Gui Ying shook his head. ”No. She said I was handsome. But then she left me. Wuwuwu.” He tightened his grip around Wang Ya Ting's arm, freeing his chin in the process and rubbing his cheek against Wang Ya Ting's shoulder. ”I'm not handsome at all, am I? What about that bastard with the bird? Was he handsome at least?”
Wang Ya Ting's expression darkened and he once again slammed his fist down on the table. ”Ugh! Even if he was the most handsome man in the world, he still wouldn't be good enough for my little brother! Even the emperor can't have him! No, what am I even saying? I wouldn't hand Xiao Hui over even if the Heavenly Emperor knocked onto my door!” He grabbed the jug of wine to take another mouthful but just like Huan Gui Ying before found it to be empty. He slammed it down with a curse and motioned at the waiter. ”Bring me another jar!”
”Two! Bring two!” echoed Huan Gui Ying.
Wang Ya Ting looked down. Huan Gui Ying looked up. The two of them looked into each other's eyes.]
Su Yan bit into his sleeve. Ugh. Please tell him the two of them wouldn't fall in love like this. That was so stupid!
[Wang Ya Ting reached out and patted his head. ”Don't drink so much. You're too young for that.”
”I'm not. I'm old enough to get married. It's just that she doesn't want me! Wuwuwu.” He hugged Wang Ya Ting's neck instead of his arm this time and sobbed into the front of his robe.
Wang Ya Ting patted his back absentmindedly. ”Ah, all these assholes in this city. One of them forces himself onto my little brother and another one pretends she wants to marry you just to elope with somebody else. This is too outrageous! We should chop off all their birds.
”As for that asshole that forced my Xiao Hui I know exactly how to find him. Don't worry about that. You know if there is one thing my family has more than enough of, then it's money. It's so much we don't even know what to do with it. So I'll put some of it to good use and find that bastard. I'll have Xiao Hui describe him to me tomorrow and make a painting and then I'll post it everywhere in this town and in all the other towns in a radius of a hundred miles!”
Huan Gui Ying lifted his head to look up at Wang Ya Ting in worship. ”Ah Ting, you're so great. You know exactly what to do.”
Wang Ya Ting puffed out his chest. ”That's only natural. How else would I take care of my Xiao Hui?”
Then the waiter finally came over and put the two jugs of wine down before them. Both Wang Ya Ting and Huan Gui Ying reached out, opened their respective jug and took a big gulp.
Behind the two of them, another person lowered his jug of wine and silently motioned for the waiter to come over to him. He didn't say anything and just handed over some money before he got up and left.]
Su Yan smiled wryly. He would bet his wage for a month that this man was that Ling Yu that Wang Ya Ting had threatened to castrate. No wonder he just got up and left. He was probably afraid Wang Ya Ting had already gotten some information from his younger brother and might recognize him if he gave him the chance to look at him. Or maybe he thought Wang Ya Ting's revenge would get even worse if he someday found out that he had just barely missed him. Well, at least this should mean that this thing with the birds was definitely over, right?
