Chapter 719: She Would Get What She Wished For
Liu Duo furrowed her fine eyebrows when she heard that undesirable name.
I thought we said we’re not buying tomatoes from her, why did she show up anyway? Isn’t she set to marry a widower? Why is she still out here? Or… is she concocting some crazy scheme again? Liu Duo thought long and hard as she gazed at Ling’s handsome reflection in the mirror.
In terms of looks, Ye Ling certainly did not fall behind Ye Mo. They each looked good in their own unique way, but what bothered Liu Duo was that Li Chunmei, who used to vow that she would marry Ye Mo and no one else, might suddenly have feelings for Ye Ling.
The previous incident was quite odd. If Li Chunmei wanted things to go her way, she should have tricked Ye Mo instead!
Liu Duo stayed silent and seriously still as Ye Ling observed her reflection in the mirror. It was only some time later when he asked, “Duo Er, what’s wrong?”
“Oh, nothing! Ling, if she comes again, just kick her out.”
Regardless of what Li Chunmei might be up to, Liu Duo would never ever let her succeed.
She found women like this most disturbing. They were home-wreckers who just liked to meddle with married men!
“Alright, if she comes again, I’ll get a broom and chase her away,” Ye Ling agreed to the motion. If he had not loathed her before, he did so now, and he did not want to see her again.
Pffft…
Liu Duo chuckled when he said so.
Ling was a kind-hearted man, so him having such violent thoughts was totally unexpected.
Then, Liu Duo changed the subject and the two continued their chat. They would rather not talk about this pestering woman.
After Li Chunmei left, she walked through the bamboo forest and finally arrived at the main road. Then, she looked back at the house she had walked away from.
“I won’t give up so easily, because I don’t want to marry a widower,” she mumbled to herself before heading home.
There was still some time before she was set to marry, she had to think of a perfect strategy to fulfill her wish!
She was able to get out of the house today because she pretended to agree to marry the widower. Only then did her mother release her.
In town, Wang Xiangyun, who had lost her appetite, simply ate some food for breakfast. She sat by the windowsill, observing the pedestrians down below.
Anping Town may have been just a small town, but the volume of people flowing there was quite large.
Little Tian stood not far away, looking on helplessly at her depressed lady whose thoughts she could not decipher.
What was so good about staying at this unfamiliar place? In the capital, at least she could gather and chat with other ladies. At this rate, Little Tian wondered if her lady would eventually fall ill.
“Little Tian.”
Just when Little Tian’s mind was wandering about, Wang Xiangyun called for her without looking back, sending her back to reality.
Little Tian immediately responded, “Ah? Miss, I’m here.”
“Can you go check on Brother Ming and see what he’s doing?”
Er…
To be honest, Little Tian did not really want to go, but she could not defy her lady, so she acknowledged the order and left.
She had almost reached Dongfang Ming’s room when she saw the master and Ming Yan heading downstairs.
And so, she went back whence she came.
“Miss, Master Dongfang has gone out,” Little Tian returned to the room and reported to Wang Xiangyun.
It was as though a bit of her spirit had returned. Wang Xiangyun asked, “Where to?”
“Perhaps they went to the bookstore? I saw Ming Yan carrying the portrait Master Dongfang drew yesterday,” Little Tian guessed.
After all, portraits would require framing in order to last longer.
When she heard that the men were getting Liu Duo’s portraits framed, Wang Xiangyun became outraged at once.
