Chapter 729: 729 Anonymous Divine Doctor 3
Su Qingyue glanced at Xiao Yuchuan and found that he was still leisurely sipping his tea, not even looking at Tao Meijiao once. The way he held his teacup and lightly tapped the edge with his hand, anyone who didn’t know him would think he was a young master of a prestigious family.
Su Qingyue put down her teacup and stood up, “Xiao Jiao, have you been waiting for me for a long time?”
“Yes.” She pouted and complained, “You don’t know how bored I was all by myself. Recently, the business at the restaurant has been getting worse and worse. I’ve been trying all sorts of ways to boost our business, but I can’t seem to compete with Jin Xun’s Drunken Immortal Pavilion. The Drunken Immortal Pavilion is full of guests every day, while my Tao family’s restaurant is swatting flies. If this continues, we’ll have to close. I’ve wanted to visit you in Wushan Village for a while now, but lately, my father’s illness has been getting worse, and he’s been bedridden all day. I’ve been so busy with the family business that I haven’t been able to take the time to come see you.”
“It’s okay,” Qingyue responded nonchalantly, “I can come see you when I have time.”
Tao Meijiao looked at Xiao Yuchuan sitting beside her, “I heard from the gatehouse that your husband came with you.”
Xiao Yuchuan politely nodded at her.
Tao Meijiao sized him up, “He’s quite handsome. Not bad looking.”
Yuchuan slightly raised the corners of his lips. He had heard this kind of comment many times before, as the villagers always praised his good looks around him.
Tao Meijiao glanced at him once and then shifted her gaze away, remembering Su Qingyue’s face before she applied makeup, a face so beautiful that even she was astonished. No matter how handsome he was, he was no match for Su Qingyue’s peerless beauty.
She took another look at Su Qingyue’s ordinary face after makeup, noticing that Qingyue had not only darkened her snow-white skin but also added spots all over her face…
She had turned a living great beauty into a passerby.
Su Qingyue thought that her third brother would have something witty to say in response, but to her surprise, he remained quiet in front of the beauty Tao, glancing at him with curiosity.
Had this stinky man changed his ways and had nothing much to say even in front of a beautiful woman?
“Qingyue, this time you’re back, even if you don’t save my family’s business, at least stay at home for a few days,” Tao Meijiao chattered, “I’ve been so bored lately.”
“Why should my wife save your family’s business?” Xiao Yuchuan coldly said, “My wife is not a savior. And it’s not convenient for her to stay at your residence for more than one night. We’ll leave in a while.” If he let his wife stay here, and he went back on his own, a day without seeing his wife would make him desperate!
“Hey, what’s with you!” Tao Meijiao glared angrily at Xiao Yuchuan, “Xiao Yue and I are good friends. She’s so smart; if she helps me out, what’s the problem? She never said she wouldn’t be a guest at my Tao Mansion. If you want to leave later, go by yourself. No one here is keeping you.”
Xiao Yuchuan listened and was not annoyed. He just blandly said, “I want to be with my wife.”
“Oh, so you can’t bear to be without your wife,” Tao Meijiao laughed, “I heard that your second brother’s face was ruined, and your fourth brother’s legs… You must be the third young Master of Xiao, Xiao Yuchuan.”
He remained silent with a cold face.
At that moment, Maid Du Juan hurriedly ran over, “Young Lady, it’s terrible, Master is dying!”
“What! I’ll be right there!” Tao Meijiao rushed to Su Qingyue and said, “I’m going to see my father first…”
Su Qingyue said, “I’ll come with you. Perhaps I can help.”
Tao Meijiao acknowledged with a sound and hurriedly ran towards the east wing room.
