"Don’t worry, if he really slits your throat, I’ll avenge you," Yang Chuxia reassuredly patted Ye Zi’an’s arm, smiling.
So Ye Zi’an straightened up and left, but halfway through, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Yang Chuxia, "Xiaxia!"
Yang Chuxia looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Ye Zi’an asked again, "Xiaxia, what if he has ulterior motives towards me?"
Hearing this, Yang Chuxia laughed.
The two people outside, Mu Shaoling and his servant, were furious, while Ye Zi’an calmly looked at Yang Chuxia with a puzzled expression, as if he was serious.
"No worries, if he dares to bully you, I’ll take care of him tomorrow."
"Oh, I feel relieved, then." Finally, Ye Zi’an turned his head and went out of the house indifferently. When passing by Young Master Mu, he coldly and coolly said, "Young Master Mu, please!"
Young Master Mu and his servant were both speechless at the sudden change in Ye Zi’an’s demeanor.
When they arrived at Ye Zi’an’s house, he opened the door and told the two to make themselves comfortable.
Then he went to boil water on his own, not caring about the guests inside.
His new house was not even completely built yet, and there was only one bed in this room. Ye Zi’an didn’t understand why Mu Shaoling insisted on staying at his house.
Shaking his head, he didn’t think about the master and servant any longer. After boiling the water and mixing it with some cold water to wash, he went to bed to sleep. As he was dozing off, he faintly heard Mu Shaoling ordering his servant to boil water in a cold tone.
After a while, he felt his bed sink.
There was no conversation during the night, and nothing strange happened, as if Mu Shaoling really just came to his house to sleep. It’s a shame that he wasn’t foolish!
While washing up in the morning, he heard Mu Shaoling casually asking him about when his parents died and how his stepmother treated him. The questions seemed casual but were all about him.
That made Ye Zi’an feel a bit suspicious.
However, he didn’t dwell on it and went to Yang Chuxia’s house instead.
"Brother An, where’s Divine Doctor Mu?" Ms. Wang asked as she was preparing breakfast when she saw Ye Zi’an arrive.
"Auntie, he’s behind."
"Why aren’t you with your guest? It’s almost time for breakfast." Ms. Wang said before turning away to continue her tasks.
After a while, Mu Shaoling and his servant arrived. After breakfast, they said they wanted to go around the village. They left without asking anyone to accompany them.
Once they left, Yang Chuxia turned to Ye Zi’an and asked, "So, did you lose your innocence last night?"
"Nonsense!" Ye Zi’an scolded softly.
"Hey, wasn’t that what you said last night?" Yang Chuxia laughed, and then continued, "You did look quite convincing. But why is he actually here?"
Ye Zi’an told Yang Chuxia about some of the things Mu Shaoling had said to him in the morning.
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia’s eyes widened, "Could it be that you have a hidden identity, Brother An? Or are you the lost young master of a wealthy family? Is Mu Shaoling trying to find you?"
"Where are your thoughts going?" Ye Zi’an glared at her, "My family has always been from Quanya County. My grandparents lived here, and so did my parents. Moreover, I actually look a lot like my father. So I’m definitely just a farmer’s child."
"Then why did he ask you so many questions?" Yang Chuxia inquired suspiciously.
Ye Zi’an shook his head, "That’s something you’d have to ask him."
"Forget it, let’s not worry about him. Just do whatever he wants," Yang Chuxia waved her hand and said, "Let’s focus on our own matters."
