Wang Xiangxiang’s lips curled up at these words. This man had been stubbornly claiming they were heading in the sa direction, but now she wasn’t even taking that road anymore.
"I’m not on the wrong path, it’s just that we really aren’t going the sa way."
Without looking back, Wang Xiangxiang said this and continued walking toward the rented courtyard.
Chu Lian, following behind, didn’t believe her at all. He thought she had simply taken the wrong path and was being stubborn about it. He couldn’t just leave her be — what if Xiaoxiao’s friend got lost? So, he continued to follow her.
"I’m taking this path too."
"..." This person, really, if he wants to follow, then just follow.
Wang Xiangxiang kept walking and soon arrived at the rented courtyard.
Dahuang and Xiaobai recognized Wang Xiangxiang, so she entered the yard smoothly.
But Chu Lian had it rough. As soon as he reached the gate, he was surrounded by the two big dogs, barking furiously.
This truly startled Chu Lian, and he stood there, not daring to move an inch.
Inside the house, Wang Xiangxiang couldn’t hold back anymore, covering her stomach and bursting into loud laughter. It was a mont of pure schadenfreude, seeing the shaless man take another blow. She must reward Dahuang and Xiaobai later.
Li Fugui, who was determined to beco a chef, had been working as a kitchen helper in the rented courtyard under Yang Ming’s great-aunt since the day he started cooking, preparing lunch for the female workers. Today was Yang Wei’s wedding day, and with the great-aunt absent, it was his chance to take charge of the kitchen.
He was busy in the kitchen when he heard the dogs barking. Putting aside his work and ard with a spatula, he rushed outside, only to find Chu Lian surrounded by Dahuang and Xiaobai at the doorway.
"Dahuang, Xiaobai."
Upon hearing Li Fugui’s call, Dahuang and Xiaobai finally backed off and obediently returned to their dog beds.
Chu Lian felt utterly humiliated today. Following that willful woman was sure to lead to trouble. He was scared of two dogs, and when they finally left, he looked up at the man who had driven them away.
However, the sight that t him left him speechless. Wasn’t that Li Fugui? Why was he wearing an apron and holding a spatula, looking nothing like the Eldest Young Master of old?
"Brother Chu, long ti no see."
Li Fugui hadn’t expected to et in such circumstances and was extrely embarrassed. Their relationship could be considered worse than his with Yang Ming, given that he had previously hiked up the price of cabbage and opposed Chu Lian.
"Brother Li, long ti no see," Chu Lian replied awkwardly.
Wang Xiangxiang, having had her fill of laughter in the house, was worried the shaless man might actually get bitten by the dogs, so she decided to co out and check.
As soon as she stepped out, she saw Li Fugui, wearing an apron and holding a spatula, looking incredibly comical. She burst into laughter again, "Hahaha, Li Fugui, are you really going to be a chef?"
She was actually aware of Li Fugui’s current situation and admired him a bit. She hadn’t expected the forr Eldest Young Master to truly take up the spatula. "Hurry up, let’s see what delicious food you’ve made today."
Li Fugui smiled awkwardly at Chu Lian, then followed Wang Xiangxiang into the kitchen, talking as they went, "Today I made braised tofu, you should try it later."
"Sure, I really want to try your cooking skills and see how you fare as a chef?"
They entered the kitchen, chatting and laughing, leaving Chu Lian standing alone in the courtyard, feeling extrely irritated.
Since when did that wilful woman have such a brilliant and sweet smile?
Towards him, she was either furiously angry or had a sinister smirk.
This was a first in his life, and he couldn’t stand being treated this way, so he followed them into the kitchen, "Let try Brother Li’s cooking too."
