After the three of them had discussed, they returned to the Yang Family.
As soon as they entered the house, Wang Xiangxiang asked, "You’re back?"
"Yes, sister, come on, give me a hug with my son," Yang Ming replied, asking for the child from Wang Xiangxiang.
"..." Wang Xiangxiang was at a loss for words. It was already surprising to her that Xiaoxiao liked children, but Yang Ming’s enthusiasm was even beyond Xiaoxiao’s.
Handing over the child, she then saw Yang Ming smiling broadly as he played with the child. These two people liked children so much, why didn’t they have one of their own?
As Wang Xiangxiang thought this, she saw Han Yongsheng enter the room, and he even smiled at her. She frowned, wondering when exactly he would leave.
After chatting in the house for a while, Wang Xiangxiang learned the crux of it; this man was not planning to leave, and he had even agreed with Xiaoxiao and the others to return to Lin County together.
Since he wasn’t leaving, she had to be the one to leave; after all, she wouldn’t stay with him.
So she said, "Xiaoxiao, younger brother, you guys go about your business then. I’ll be heading back to the county town first."
"Sister," Xiaoxiao was about to make an effort to retain her but then she realized, realizing she was avoiding Han Yongsheng, she agreed, "Okay then, I will see you off."
As they spoke, they walked toward the outside. At the door, Xiaoxiao said, "Sister, I’ve asked around. That Mr. Han seems serious."
"..." Wang Xiangxiang’s facial expression turned awkward. She felt the same but to prevent Xiaoxiao from worrying, she said, "No worries, I’ve already rejected him. He should give up after a few days."
Since it was a sensitive matter, Xiaoxiao couldn’t intervene too much and thus did not say more, "Sister, are you going to Lin County? The Grand Theater is just opening."
"I won’t be going. The Cloth Shop is pretty busy these days. Oh, right, here," Wang Xiangxiang said as she pulled out a silver note from her pocket, "your recent share."
Xiaoxiao took the silver note, her eyes lighting up; she really needed money now. "Sister, you are so good."
Wang Xiangxiang’s mouth twitched. Giving her a silver note, and suddenly she was the good sister? All it took was money, "Don’t just focus on the Grand Theater. You need to take care of the Cloth Shop too. We rely on you for new products."
"Got it, sister, don’t worry about it. The staff you hired are way more talented than me."
Wang Xiangxiang smiled, called for Acheng, and then boarded a carriage back to the county town.
When Xiaoxiao returned to the house, she saw the two men playing with the child again. This scene was priceless, Han Yongsheng had become so down-to-earth too.
Upon seeing Xiaoxiao enter the room, Han Yongsheng stated, "I will come over the day after tomorrow morning, and we can set off together then."
"Mr. Han, are you leaving?"
"Yes, I can’t stay here. I have to go ask for a match tomorrow."
"..." Xiaoxiao was at a loss for words. Had Han Yongsheng never pursued a girl, "Mr. Han, this is somewhat inappropriate. Who proposes marriage without being acquainted first? No one would agree to that."
A flash in Han Yongsheng’s eyes, he bowed with his hands clasped, "Thank you, Mrs. Yang, for the advice. I will consider getting to know each other first before proposing marriage. I take my leave."
Having said that, Han Yongsheng left the yard, leaving Xiaoxiao full of bemusement. What exactly was he planning?
"Husband, did I say something wrong just now?"
"..." It seemed so. She was inadvertently causing trouble for her sister. She quickly ran out of the house, catching up with Han Yongsheng, "Mr. Han, I didn’t mean to encourage you to pursue my sister. I was asking you to give up."
"Thank you, I know what to do now. I take my leave."
