When Chu Lian heard this, he also felt some resentment. That arrogant woman wanted never to see him again, and he felt the same way, not wanting to see her anymore, so he turned to Yang Ming and said.
"Yang Ming, are there any carriages available? I need to return now."
"Brother Chu, why don’t you stay for another night? Today my aunt is having a celebration, and all the ox carts at home have been requisitioned to pick up relatives. We can send you back tomorrow morning."
When Wang Xiangxiang heard this, the idea that the annoying man would stay another night irked her, wouldn’t she have to see him and dine at the same table with him? She couldn’t bear it for another moment, so she stopped in her tracks.
She turned to Xiaoxiao and said, "Use my family’s carriage to send him back."
Wang Xiangxiang’s voice wasn’t loud, but her emotionless words were heard by Chu Lian. He only felt the chill and sting of her words, realizing that from this moment, they indeed became strangers.
The fact that she wanted to send him off in her carriage meant she was eager to see him leave; it was clear she was driving him away.
However, this was exactly the outcome he desired. That woman, with her incessant chatter, lacked the demeanor of refinement, and he indeed found her annoying and did not want to see her anymore.
So, he replied, "Then I thank you."
He then turned to find the coachman.
Wang Xiangxiang was surprised upon hearing this; the man who had always opposed her had accepted her suggestion and agreed to take her family’s carriage. Well, it was good as once he left, she would have peace.
"Xiaoxiao, let’s go, if we don’t start cooking, your husband will starve to death."
Xiaoxiao, pulled by Wang Xiangxiang, walked along while shouting into the yard, "Husband, just wait, I’m going to cook for you."
When Wang Xiangxiang heard this, she instantly understood why that rogue man had accepted her suggestion to leave. Seeing Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming exhibiting such affection, even she was overwhelmed by it; that rogue man definitely couldn’t stand it.
She really regretted lending the carriage to him. Wasn’t she just helping him? She should have made him stay and be heartbroken, that would have eased her resentment.
It wasn’t long before Chu Lian and the coachman returned.
Chu Lian bid farewell to Yang Ming in the courtyard, while the coachman went into the house to bid farewell to his mistress.
Soon after, the coachman came out, "Master Chu, I am truly sorry, but there is a slight problem with the carriage, I can’t take you."
After saying this, the coachman walked away rather embarrassingly.
Chu Lian stood there stunned; everything was fine just now, so how did the carriage become faulty after he went to see that arrogant woman?
Could it be that she had changed her mind and didn’t want him to leave?
"Brother Chu, since it’s , you should stay until tomorrow morning."
"It looks like I have no other choice."
Chu Lian, forced to stay, chatted casually with Yang Ming in the courtyard. It wasn’t long before Xiaoxiao shouted into the yard, "Husband, the food is ready, come and eat with Master Chu."
Upon hearing this, Yang Ming slowly rose, "Brother Chu, let’s go inside."
"No thanks, I just ate."
"Come on, if you don’t go, Miss Wang will probably also feel awkward staying."
"..." Was that arrogant woman still going to dine with them? Had she not eaten enough?
Upon hearing this, Chu Lian followed them into the house without a second thought.
Upon entering, he saw the room decorated in bright red, which struck him as particularly glaring, and felt an immense sense of loss within.
Seeing the table ready on the heated brick bed, he wondered if they were meant to eat there. He felt rather embarrassed.
"Master Chu, please sit, we didn’t prepare much, don’t be polite."
Hearing Xiaoxiao’s words, he chose not to sit on the brick bed but rather on its edge.
