Upon hearing Chu Lian say this, Wang Xiangxiang also felt relieved, but since Mudan had an accident, her mood was not very high.
Seeing Wang Xiangxiang’s mood was low, Chu Lian then said, "My lady, let me take you to Yuelai Restaurant."
Indeed, this sentence piqued Wang Xiangxiang’s interest, her eyes brightened, but then she thought, "Haven’t you forbidden me from going out?"
"I forbade you from going out alone. Now that I am with you, isn’t it fine?" Chu Lian said with a smile filling his eyes.
"Then let’s go quickly." Upon hearing this, Wang Xiangxiang could no longer restrain herself. She grabbed Chu Lian’s hand and headed out. She had been cooped up in Chu Mansion these past few days until she felt she was going moldy. She couldn’t stand staying in any longer, and she also missed Fufu.
"My lady, slow down, be careful of our son."
Thus, the two of them took the carriage to Yuelai Restaurant.
As soon as they arrived at the restaurant, Wang Xiangxiang was startled by the overcrowded scene. She had heard Chu Lian mention the restaurant before, but seeing it with her own eyes still gave her a shock, especially since it wasn’t even mealtime yet. Moreover, this was just a restaurant in Shibao Town; the ones in Shanshi County could perhaps be even more bustling.
Due to the crowd, Chu Lian, fearing that Wang Xiangxiang would be squeezed, kept her protected with his hand throughout, his actions very affectionate.
This affectionate gesture was noticed by a woman in the hall who was eating. Her brows furrowed, her expression unreadable. When Chu Lian embraced Wang Xiangxiang, she slammed the table and stood up, causing a commotion in the hall.
Yet, she paid no heed to the commotion and walked towards Chu Lian and Wang Xiangxiang with a furious expression.
The Little Maid hurrying behind her called out, "Young lady, where are you going?"
The woman quickly walked up to Chu Lian and Wang Xiangxiang and unceremoniously knocked Chu Lian’s hand off Wang Xiangxiang.
Chu Lian was taken aback by this confrontation. He quickly shielded Wang Xiangxiang behind him and said with a displeased face, "Miss, who are you? What does this mean?"
"You don’t recognize me now? You really are forgetful!"
"..." Chu Lian tried hard to remember, but he genuinely did not recognize this woman. Could she be another of his admirers? "I’m sorry, I don’t know you."
"Heh, what a thing to say, well, if you don’t know, then you don’t know. But first, tell me who she is?" the woman scoffed, using her hand to point at Wang Xiangxiang behind him.
At this moment, Wang Xiangxiang’s face looked very unpleasant. It was clear to her that this woman was one of Chu Lian’s unwanted admirers from outside. Before Chu Lian could speak, Wang Xiangxiang, angered, stepped out from under Chu Lian’s protection and said, "Miss, I am his wife. Who are you?"
Upon hearing this, the woman became even angrier, ignoring Wang Xiangxiang and staring at Chu Lian, "Hmph, I thought you were a honest and decent man. Who would have guessed you’re this fickle? She’s your wife?" The woman raised an eyebrow, "Then what about that wife you married officially a few months ago?"
Wang Xiangxiang and Chu Lian finally realized that the woman before them must have mistaken him for someone else. Hence, Chu Lian said, "Miss, you must be mistaken. I am the Young Master of this Yuelai Restaurant, named Chu Lian. This is the wife I just married half a month ago. I have not married anyone else before."
"What?" Upon hearing this, the woman expressed surprise, her face a mix of disbelief and shock. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novelꜰire.net
She looked towards the crowd, and everyone nodded in agreement, affirming that what the man said was true.
