Chapter 523: Chapter 523 Can’t Help It…_1 Chapter 523: Chapter 523 Can’t Help It…_1 “Mm-hmm,” An Jing nodded.
Xiao Changyi tossed things like ring toss gas into the bamboo basket. Then he strapped it on his back and, with one hand holding a chair and the other leading An Jing, headed ho.
The pair had just returned ho when they heard the sound of horse hooves, but they didn’t pay any attention. If soone was there to see them, they would surely show up right in front of them; there was no need to guess.
Before long, Li Wuyu showed up.
As soon as Li Wuyu saw them, she huffed, “Master, Daddy, I’d stake my head on a bet with you— that Xing Yaoyue definitely fancies my Youbao!”
Li Wuyu had been in Hecheng County for eighteen days, but apart from the first day when she visited An Jing and Xiao Changyi, she hadn’t been back since. Today was only her second visit.
Seeing that Li Wuyu was talking about Wang Youbao again as soon as she opened her mouth, An Jing imdiately shot her a look, “You haven’t visited for so long, and now that you finally do, it’s good of you to talk about your Youbao!”
Li Wuyu rely kept up a sheepish smile.
An Jing knew Li Wuyu treated her like family and didn’t take offense, so naturally, she wasn’t genuinely angry with Li Wuyu. After making sure she was seated comfortably, she said, “Go ahead, then, tell how you’re so certain Miss Xing fancies your Youbao.”
Li Wuyu imdiately replied, still fuming, “Every other day, she finds so excuse to go see my Youbao. Even though she’s an unmarried lady and brings a maidservant with her, and although her excuses are decent, isn’t it obvious? She must like my Youbao!”
A woman always looking for a man is indeed…
An Jing understood and nodded, “Now that you put it like that, Miss Xing must indeed fancy Youbao.”
“Definitely!”
Watching Li Wuyu still looking furiously indignant, An Jing couldn’t help but laugh, “Aren’t you always seeking out Youbao too? What’s the matter, you’re allowed to fancy Youbao but others aren’t?”
Li Wuyu huffed, “I would like it if I were the only one allowed to fancy my Youbao, but no, that won’t do. My Youbao is so handso; surely many girls must secretly pledge their hearts upon seeing him.”
An Jing found this amusing, “If you’re so clear about it, then why are you still upset?”
“I can’t help it…” Li Wuyu started to look aggrieved. “I can ignore other girls liking him, but the problem is, he’s also very nice to that Xing Yaoyue. Xing Yaoyue makes up excuses to go out with him, and he never refuses; they always go out together… It hurts to watch… Even if I know he’s equally nice to all the girls, it still feels bad in my heart…”
An Jing sighed. This Wang Youbao, if he were in modern tis, would definitely be the perfect gentleman.
“Today, that Scholar Xing even invited him over to his ho again,” Li Wuyu continued her sad tale, “He’ll definitely et Xing Yaoyue again…”
As she spoke, Li Wuyu’s anger flared up once more, “If I had known he was going to Xing Yaoyue’s ho for dinner today, I should have asked him to buy more things for yesterday!”
An Jing couldn’t help but laugh and cry at this, “So now you’re really always asking him for things?”
“Yes, after all, he’s willing to give. Yesterday, I spent over a thousand taels of his money, and he didn’t even frown.”
“…” An Jing fell silent for a mont before asking, “Is he that generous with Miss Xing too?”
Li Wuyu said, “Miss Xing is a lady of high standing; she wouldn’t dare to ask him for anything.”
An Jing felt even more amused, “You’re also a lady of high standing, but you dare to.”
