Chapter 221: Chapter 215: Increasingly Resembling an Old Married Couple Chapter 221: Chapter 215: Increasingly Resembling an Old Married Couple Ye Chen was having a meal with Ling’er and said, “Don’t we seem more and more like a married couple this way?”
“In your dreams!” Ling’er snorted.
“We really do seem like it.” Ye Chen continued. “Eating together, living in the same suite, anything could happen at any moment, and I think your father hopes something will.”
Wei Yiling paused for a moment, and said, “Go find your Feng Niang quickly, in case she already likes someone else.”
“So you’re quite concerned about Feng Niang and me.”
“No I’m not, just a reminder.” Ling’er responded.
“If we lived like this every day, it wouldn’t be bad. Coming home to a meal, the chance to develop something, maybe something really could happen.”
“And you’d really become a spoiled brat.”
“Well, someone like me who does big things can delegate small things like this to others, there’s nothing wrong with that.”
“Didn’t you say last time, you came from Central Plains?” Ling’er remembered him saying he was returning to Central Plains.
“What about it?”
“You’ve been alone all these years.”
“What about it?”
“You’ve always lived at Liuye Manor.”
“Don’t tell me you’ve been looking for me all this time.”
“Why would I look for you!” Ling’er retorted.
The meal was served quickly, and before they knew it, the table was full.
“Quite abundant.” Ye Chen felt it was an improvement since he first arrived.
Wan Lan mentioned, “Didn’t you just arrive back? There’s a lot of food prepared in the square.”
“So they prepared it in celebration of our success.” Ye Chen commented.
“Sort of.”
“Don’t busy yourself anymore, just eat.” Ling’er suggested.
“I’ll leave you two to chat.”
“That’s the right thing to say.” Ye Chen chuckled impishly.
Ling’er kicked him, but Wan Lan dodged it.
Ye Chen got excited and said, “Look, others also think we’re like husband and wife.”
Wan Lan mentioned, “There must’ve been a lot of interesting and fun things happening lately.”
“Indeed, I was almost stabbed by someone, what fun.” Ye Chen admitted casually.
“What happened with Ling’er stabbing someone?” Mu Wanlan asked worriedly.
“She got excited.”
“Don’t listen to his nonsense, just eat.”
“I’ll go and check out the square again, see if there’s any other delicious food.” Wan Lan left.
Ye Chen said, “Go quick, before all the good food is taken by them. They’re like famished wolves when it comes to food, they only care about themselves.”
“Is there not enough food here for you?” Ling’er snapped.
“Oh, having more can be saved for supper, there’s no such thing as too much.” Ye Chen reasoned.
Wan Lan said, “I’ll leave you two lovebirds alone.”
Suddenly, they were the only two left in the yard.
“After we finish eating, let’s take a walk outside.” Ye Chen suggested.
“Why on earth would I accompany you for a walk?” Wei Yiling coldly declared.
“I fear you’d be lonely here by yourself, so why not accompany you for a walk.”
“I don’t need your company.”
“You wanted Xiao Han to accompany you, but his family doesn’t even know where they’ve gone.”
“Wow, you actually care about my affairs.” Ling’er was surprised how he knew about Xiao Han, but Xiao Han had already left after Xiao Baiyin’s last incident.
“I’m not concerned, I heard from my subordinates.” Ye Chen continued eating.
“What did they tell you?”
“Everything, what kind of relationship you two have, how you bewitch him, all that sweet-talking.”
Ling’er waved her chopsticks at him, outraged, “You’re talking nonsense, they have too much free time.”
“There must have been plenty of shady deeds, right?”
“I have no such shady deeds, only you would!”
“It’s too late to say anything now, he’s already gone, maybe he’s fallen for someone else, don’t be too heartbroken.” Ye Chen continued, “We’re quite fated, look how we’re still living together, occasionally having drinks, maybe it will speed up the process.”
“I’ll be damned if I’m fated to you.”
“So you belong to the ghost clan.” Ye Chen replied.
Wei Yiling slapped him, and snapped, “You’re the one who belongs to the ghost clan.”
Ye Chen had already put down his chopsticks, stood up, and said, “If you’re not going, I’ll go by myself.”
“Where are you going?”
“Just a casual stroll, have you explored Tianle City since you arrived? Maybe you’ll encounter love at first sight.”
“You fall in love at first sight with every girl.”
“I’m not that easy! Let’s go drinking, dare you?” Ye Chen stood up.
Ling’er found staying in the courtyard boring and she hadn’t properly explored Tianle City yet. With nothing else to do, she stood up, “Why wouldn’t I dare? Let me change my clothes first.” She was really curious what he was up to.
“Dress yourself nicely to impress those girls who want to approach me.” Ye Chen grinned subtly.
“Can you wait then?”
“Surely I’ll wait, I think fewer clothes will make you look prettier.”
Ling’er glared at him, “Can you mind your language?”
“Okay, hurry up, if not, I might bring a girl back.”
Wan Lan brought some fruits in, knowing they must’ve eaten their fill.
“Where are you planning to go?”
