FID – Chapter 202

He should be a noble and cold character, but when he looked at the woman, his entire being was overflowing with gentleness.

One look, and she knew.

That man loved the young girl.

“Lucky Nannan, I’m back!” The discordant voice spoiled the harmony of the couple.

With the sunset’s irradiance, the woman raised her eyes and looked toward them. Her lips stretched into a smile, and she said, shrouded in a halo-like warmth, “When you left that day, I guessed that you’ll bring a friend over later. It seems I guessed right.”

The soft and gentle voice, with a bantering tingle, felt music to the ears.

Feng Mohan immediately scuffed over and stuck to the young girl’s hand. “Aunt Liu, he brought his fiancée, not a friend!”

As he spoke, he didn’t forget a secretive wink to his uncle. Qian Wanjin has a wife; the enemy was eliminated!

Speaking of this, Qian Wanjin suddenly became flustered. He moved without a trace and tried his best to distance himself from Shi Xianrou.

“I have no choice, you know?  You don’t know that my father simply treated me like a prisoner. There were four strong men guarding the entrance to the toilet. Have you ever seen such a father?”

“Compared to Master Qian, I have never seen a son who has escaped marriage a hundred or eighty times.”

“…” Lucky Nannan, can’t you give me some face in front of outsiders? We are family!

The man’s aggrieved appearance in front of the young girl and his reluctance to argue his case were entirely inconsistent to his usual belligerent little rooster look. Shi Xianrou pursed her lips and smiled.

“Welcome to the Liu family. I’m Liu Yusheng. May I know your name?” The young lady already has shifted her gaze, her eyes gentle and clear.

Shi Xianrou’s eyes flashed. “My name is Shi Xianrou, three years older than you. Qian Wanjin mentions you every day, but meeting you is much better than hearing about you, Lucky Nannan.”

The two young girls smiled at each other with an air of cordiality.

Qian Wanjin touched his nose and felt inexplicably that the scene before him looked, well, harmonious.

It would have been better if that obtrusive guy next to her was non-existent.

With a whoosh, Qian Wanjin looked daggers in the distance, which no finger could barely insert between the man and girl, and carried the package on the stone table. “Lucky Nannan, come here, quick. I brought you something good!”

“What good thing?”
“You’ll know once you come and have a look!”

Liu Yusheng smiled, walked over, and invited Shi Xianrou to take a seat in passing.

Feng Qingbai followed behind her. After the girl sat down, he bent over and dragged a stone bench beside her with one hand. He sat on the girl’s side steadily, closer than just now, with his arms almost embracing her.

The corners of Qian Wanjin’s eyes twitched. “…” That damn stone bench! You can move it with just a flick! Who are you trying to scare?

Comparing strength?

He-He also has a freakishly powerful woman!

Liu Yusheng opened the package, revealing two jade boxes inside.

She opened the jade box lid and found two herbs.

A purple ganoderma of excellent quality, and a well-preserved snow lotus.

The ages weren’t short at all.

“By the way, there is also this!” Qian Wanjin was so angry that he only remembered. He immediately took out a small purse from his sleeves and handed it over. “I found it by chance in a pharmacy. I heard  it’s Fiery Blaze Herb seeds. I have never heard of this name, but considering that you like collecting medicinal herbs and there’s an herbal field at home, I brought it back to you. You might be able to grow it.”

“Fiery Blaze Herb?” The girl’s eyes lit up instantly, overwhelmed with surprise. She hurriedly took the purse cautiously.

Fiery Blaze Herb was fiery in nature, and it was a treasure for treating cold poison.

It grew on the edge of lava, so not to mention its preciousness, it was extremely rare above all.

In her previous life, she searched all over the north and south of the country but wasn’t able to obtain the seeds of this herb.

Seeing the lady’s delight, Qian Wanjin sighed. “I knew you would like it. Quick, thank me.”

“Thank you, Young Boss.” Liu Yusheng curled her meniscus eyes. “As usual, the cost will be deducted from the winery’s dividend.”

Qian Wanjin looked up to the sky with a sigh of sadness. “I know, I know. Really, you just have to remind me every time.”

Shi Xianrou raised her eyebrows at the side, understanding a little more about the mode of getting along between the two.

Liu Yusheng appeared kind to everyone, but there were boundaries. She seemed to subconsciously draw a defensive line, maintaining the distance as should be.

This distance had nothing to do with trust. It was her upbringing, or, should she say, principles.

She thought she had discovered why Qian Wanjin liked this young girl.

Feng Qingbai took in the girl’s delighted appearance in his heart. His eyes flickered, and only he knew what he was thinking.

She liked herbs; he also knew.

He mustn’t accomplish less than what Qian Wanjin did.

The treasury of the King of Nanling’s palace and even the national treasury were piled up with all kinds of precious and rare herbs, which he spent nine years collecting for her from various countries.

Except, he never did deliver them to her.

He did not dare, and he could not.

“Aunt Liu, do you like herbs?” Beside her, Feng Mohan cocked his head and asked the young girl.

“Yeah, I like them.”

Feng Mohan’s eyes twitched, and he bit his finger.

He remembered that many extremely precious herbal treasures were stored in the national treasury over the years. The Imperial Hospital had once wanted to ask for them, but unfortunately, his Imperial Uncle refused to give them.

He would take them out later and give them all to Aunt Liu!

“Before coming here, Grandma Liu said we should go there earlier and prepare for dinner.” The sunset afterglow has darkened, and evening has fallen. Shi Xianrou looked at the two men who had completely forgotten the old lady’s instructions and had no choice but to speak to remind them.

Qian Wanjin jumped up and slapped his head. “Oh, I forgot! Lucky Nannan, hurry up. The food will grow cold if we delay any further!”

Before he could finish speaking, he had already whizzed and jumped past the door.

What did he miss most in the capital?

Of course, it was the Liu family’s food, ah!

There were now so many people in the house, and he also came back with someone unannounced. He wondered if Grandma cooked enough food for everyone.

He must grab them!

Liu Yusheng smacked her forehead in the back. Should she explain to Shi Xianrou that Qian Wanjin wasn’t a foodie, really not?

“In the capital, I would take him out to eat delicious food.” The woman winked at Liu Yusheng.

She had long known that Qian Wanjin was a foodie.

Liu Yusheng was taken aback and snorted out a laugh. Then she didn’t have to cover up for Qian Wanjin. “Let’s go. If we are late, he alone can sweep the whole table.”

The two girls walked side by side with gales of laughter.

“…Uncle, shall we go too?” The two forgotten people looked at each other, got up and followed in silence.

This evening, the Liu family’s dining table was unusually lively.

“Yan Hong, can you eat more civilized. Anyway, you’re a woman. Can you act more like a woman, all right? Don’t snatch!”

“Xue Qinglian! Do you know the rules? You’re grabbing food in the host’s house. Have you forgotten that you are a guest, a guest!”

“Ow, Liu Zhiqiu! I just came back. I didn’t eat home food for more than two months. Save some for me!”

All Qian Wanjin could do was stammer, criticizing everyone.

After counting a round, the last chicken leg on the plate was clipped away by Feng Mohan.

Qian Wanjin was so angry that he wanted to storm out. Why was everyone here a glutton?!
