Chapter 190 I'm Hard to Raise
(There is an addition to the previous chapter.)
"It's not hard. Just make a list of what you need and I'll buy it all for you. If the food doesn't taste good, I'll kill all the cooks and buy you better ones."
Ye Jingzhan's eyebrows curved, but the corners of his lips did not rise synchronously. His eyes were full of smiles, but his mouth spoke the cruelest words.
Mu Yao lowered her eyes and said nothing. Ye Jingzhan smiled and turned around. As he was leaving, a pink little hand grabbed his wide sleeves.
"I already have eight husbands, and I can't give you the paradise life you want. We... are not suitable. Can you please take me down?" Mu Yao mustered up the courage to speak out her true feelings.
If she didn't come back for a long time, the other husbands would definitely come looking for her. And her father, Mu Yao didn't want him to worry about her at his age.
"From now on, you will follow me. As for life, I will give you whatever kind of life you want."
Ye Jingzhan replied decisively. His eyes were like a pool of clear water, and there was a hint of tenderness between his eyebrows.
He held the little hand that was clutching his sleeve, his heart trembled slightly, the cold fingers instantly felt warm, and a tingling sensation he had never felt before surged in his heart.
The little hand in his palm seemed to want to be withdrawn, but Ye Jingzhan was reluctant and pulled the person into his arms.
The faint scent of gardenia and the soft touch of delicate flowers eroded his clarity inch by inch.
"I changed my mind. Let's go down the mountain together."
He lowered his brows and gazed at the person in his arms, smiling.
With one leap, the two of them stepped onto the clouds again and shuttled through the swirling mist.
After an incense stick of time, they arrived at Yunqu Town.
This is a prosperous town at the foot of the Wuling Peak in Yunlan Kingdom. It is famous for its tea fragrance and is known as the No. 1 tea town in Yunlan.
"Take this with you." Ye Jingzhan took out a black veil from his sleeve.
Mu Yao wore it but it couldn't hide her eyes that embraced all the brilliance in the world.
Ye Jingzhan didn't want to attract too much attention, so he bought a veil to cover the halo of "Pearl".
Mu Yao was now wearing a dark suit, which made her slender figure look like a young man in his twenties.
The scorching heat of the afternoon sun faded, and the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased. The shouts of peddlers could be heard from the alleys from time to time. The Lanyue Building was very lively, and the originally narrow space in front of the door was filled with carriages.
"Here is the lychee pastry you like." Ye Jingzhan said with interest while looking at the plaque of the restaurant.
Mu Yao nodded slightly, secretly observing the movements around her. This was a rare opportunity, and she had to seize it firmly.
Ye Jingzhan's good looks and Mu Yao's mysteriousness immediately attracted the attention of the shopkeeper Bai Pu. He vaguely remembered that the man in white had been to their building before, so he immediately put on an extremely friendly smile and went forward to greet him.
"Would you two like to stop by for a meal or stay in the hotel?"
"Boss, please open a private room for us. Bring us all the steamed cured meat, pea yellow, crystal meat jelly, stuffed yellow croaker in soup and lychee crispy cakes. And also help us with some vegetarian dishes." Ye Jingzhan took out a large silver note from his wide sleeves and handed it over.
Mu Yao was stunned. It was the first time in Yunqi that she saw someone pay the bill first when entering a restaurant.
Bai Pu smiled, nodding and bowing. Suddenly, he saw the colorful glass bracelets faintly exposed under the wide sleeves of the black-clothed man, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
He looked at the young man secretly and took them to the Star-Picking Pavilion on the top floor.
When Bai Pu was leaving, he patted his left wrist twice intentionally or unintentionally. This subtle action caught Mu Yao's attention.
The delicacies were placed on the eight-immortals table by the window like flowing clouds and water.
The Star-Picking Pavilion is located on the fifth floor, overlooking half of Yunqu Town.
After a while, Bai Pu walked in with a pot of tea.
Ye Jingzhan looked at him with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"My two gentlemen, this is our new tea. I brewed a pot specially for you to taste. If you really want to buy it, it's available at the counter downstairs."
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingzhan's expression relaxed and he nodded.
Bai Pu poured a cup for each of them. When Mu Yao saw the tea in the cup blooming like a pearl, she recognized it as the "Sea Shell Pearl" that Shen Chutang had cultivated the latest. She remembered that Shen Chutang had told her father that this new tea would be launched next year.
Mu Yao glanced at Bai Pu and saw that he was looking at her with a smile.
"My dear gentlemen, this new tea has not been named yet. Do you have any good suggestions? If you have any good suggestions, you can enjoy a 20% discount when you visit Lanyue Pavilion in the future."
Ye Jingzhan raised his eyebrows slightly, thought for a moment and replied: "Lan Yue Xian Hao?"
"Pfft." Mu Yao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
When Bai Pu heard this, he felt 70% relieved.
"Do you have a better suggestion?" Ye Jingzhan touched the bell on his waist awkwardly, making a slight crisp sound.
"Boss, how about calling it 'Sea Shell Spitting Pearls'?" Mu Yao stared at his expression without blinking.
Bai Pu's eyes sparkled, and he said, "Very good. From now on, you can enjoy a 20% discount when you dine at Lanyue Tower. I'll bring you the VIP card in a moment."
Ye Jingzhan looked at Bai Pu thoughtfully: "Don't bother, we can get it when we leave later."
Bai Pu's actions aroused Ye Jingzhan's vigilance. He had come to Lanyue Tower three times and had never seen the shopkeeper personally serve tea. Moreover, when Mu Yao revealed her female voice, Bai Pu was not surprised and still called her Xiaolangjun.
Sometimes being too calm is actually a form of unrest.
He looked at Mu Yao meaningfully, his eyes deep and sharp.
"Do you know the shopkeeper here?"
Mu Yao's heart suddenly jumped, and her face turned pale instantly.
She quickly adjusted her mood, took off her veil and replied, "I don't know him. What's wrong?"
The rays of light outside the window shine on the beautiful woman's face. Her eyes and eyebrows are like poetry, her elegance is like a painting, just like clear frost and autumn dew, which is fascinating.
Putting aside his doubts for the moment, Ye Jingzhan pushed the lychee pastry on the table in front of her.
"Eat it quickly, or it will melt and become unpalatable."
Mu Yao heaved a sigh of relief and picked up the silver spoon to stir it.
The lychee pastry at Lanyue Tower wasn't as delicious as the one at Jiqi's, but it was refreshing and refreshing. In just a few bites, she had already eaten one-third of it.
"Would you like to eat something else?" Ye Jingzhan felt that the snack was too cold, so he picked up a piece of bacon and gave it to her.
Seeing him staring at her, Mu Yao couldn't help but get nervous. No matter how elegant he looked or how kind he acted, it couldn't change his nature as a demon.
Whenever she thought of Ye Jingzhan and Chisha being in the same group, she couldn't help but shiver. Chisha's ghost face was so scary that she couldn't forget it.
Mu Yao didn't want to stay by Ye Jingzhan's side for a moment, and thought for a moment. Then she said, "When I was at home, the food I ate every day was not only exquisite and delicious, but also very rich. There were dozens of dishes for three meals a day. The clothes I'm wearing now also make me very uncomfortable. There are at least thousands of skirts in my closet, all of which are the latest styles. And I like to be lively, love to go shopping in the jewelry store, listen to music and drink tea, go outing and eat wild food, and don't like living on the top of the mountain. So I'm not easy to keep."
Mu Yao pressed her lips into a straight line and waited quietly for Ye Jingzhan's answer.
What she said made Ye Jingzhan fall into deep thought for a long time.
Suddenly, he laughed.
"You can only know whether it's easy to raise a child after you've raised one. Haven't I taken good care of you today?"
"What about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? I used to have a good life, but now you make me confused and embarrassed. I can't live a worse life with you than before, right? Besides, I have eight husbands, and there is always someone to accompany me twelve hours a day." Mu Yao added quickly.
"Are you talking about the person lying there yesterday?" The curve of Ye Jingzhan's lips gradually widened, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
When talking about Xiao Douxue, Mu Yao's eyes suddenly turned red and tears welled up in her eyes. She didn't know whether he had woken up now.
"Please let me go. My husbands must be worried sick."
"Forget about them and you won't think too much about them. Come on and eat, and then we'll go home."
Ye Jingzhan stared at Mu Yao with burning eyes, thinking about how to take good care of her. Clothes and jewelry are easy, just buy them. Meals are a bit difficult, do you really need to find a group of cooks to live with you? He is used to being alone, so he is not used to it.
As for her love of bustling life, he could take Mu Yao to live in other small countries, where there would surely be prosperous towns that she would like.
