Chapter 149 Hmm, you are!
“Those two places are my properties. Hmm... I have properties in all four countries, so Yan’er will no longer have to worry about my downfall, and I will not have to resort to fishing for a living.”
Xuan Yuan stared at her face, speaking with utmost seriousness.
Xin Moyan pursed her lips, feeling somewhat embarrassed, but then suddenly remembered something and quickly looked up to ask him.
"You're saying Xixiang Pavilion is your property? You're the owner of Xixiang Pavilion?"
"Ah."
"So...you designed the safety fabric?"
Xin Moyan covered her mouth in shock. Could it be... that Xuan Yuan was also 'family'?
"What is Anxin Cloth?" The name sounded familiar, but since the establishment of Xixiang Pavilion, it had always been Hua Buyu in charge. He only provided the money and supported her from behind.
"It's...it's something girls use!"
"Something for girls? What is that?"
She moved her face closer to Xuan Yuan, sizing him up thoughtfully. "Xuan Yuan, you're not lying to me again, are you?"
"What are you lying about?"
Xin Moyan patted his shoulder reassuringly, "I know Yunxianglou is doing very well in the four kingdoms, but you don't need to comfort me. If it's not yours, it's not yours!"
He finally understood. It turned out that Yan'er thought Junjing Pavilion and Xixiang Pavilion were not his properties and was lying to her again!
"Yan'er, I didn't lie to you,"
"Alright, alright, it has nothing to do with me. As long as you don't blame me for using your jade pendant without permission, that's fine."
"I've given you the jade pendant, so you can use Yunxianglou as you please without asking me."
"Thank you, Xuan Yuan." She was still very grateful to Xuan Yuan. Yunxianglou had helped them a lot recently, otherwise the milk tea shop wouldn't have been able to operate so smoothly.
The delicate hand rested on the table in her palm. As the night deepened, her slender fingertips felt slightly cool. Xuan Yuan stared intently at her, his gaze softening.
"Yan'er, don't thank me."
She tried to pull her hand away, but no matter how hard she tried, it was no use, and she couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
"Yan'er, why did you refuse to go boating with me just now? What urgent matter do you have to attend to?"
"Well... Buyu has a friend who got injured, and I need to go see him early tomorrow. I won't have time to play with you then. How about another day?"
"Hua Buyu's friend?" Xuan Yuan's eyes turned slightly cold. He had only just learned of this matter himself. That woman really never learns her lesson.
"Yes! By the way, there's something else I want to ask you."
Her face instantly darkened, and she glared angrily at the man before her, asking in a sinister tone, "Why did you remain silent and slanderous towards me back at Yunxiang Pavilion?"
With a slight raise of his brow, Xuan Yuan chuckled softly and continued, "Yan'er, it's getting late. You should rest early. As for your question, I'll get back to you tomorrow night."
"Tomorrow night?" Xin Moyan's eyelids twitched, somewhat surprised and puzzled.
"Don't you have something to do tomorrow? In that case, I'll come to see you again tomorrow night, at the same time and in the same place."
"Can't you finish what you're saying now? Saying a few words won't take up much time. Just get to the point. I'm not sleepy yet!"
He pursed his lips and let out a helpless "humph" through his nose. "Yan'er, let's leave this matter until tomorrow night, then we can see each other again. Or... does Yan'er not want to see me again?"
Xin Moyan belatedly realized that... that was what he meant.
"Yan'er, do you want to see me tomorrow night? Answer me."
"Alright! Xuan Yuan, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep. You should go back too, it won't be good if someone sees us."
After saying that, Xin Moyan stood up instantly, her expression slightly awkward. The bright and soft moonlight shone on her, and it was not hard to see that her ears were flushed red.
"Yan'er, I'll wait for you here again tomorrow night."
She turned around, then stopped, leaving behind a light, casual remark, "I'll treat you to lemon tea tomorrow night."
Before Xuan Yuan could answer, she took off running, afraid that he would see her burning face. She ran all the way out of the back garden and into the room, panting heavily.
Someone's eyes lit up instantly, and they watched with ecstatic joy as the figure ran further and further away before leaving satisfied.
Lying in bed again, she was more awake than before. She pressed her hand to her chest; her heart was still pounding. Was that scene just now considered a date? This feeling was so strange. So… is this what it feels like to be in love?
She didn't know how much time had passed, or how many times Xin Moyan had tossed and turned, until her eyelids were drooping so much that she finally drifted off to sleep.
The next day, Hua Buyu stretched comfortably, but her finger suddenly brushed against a face. She paused, opened her eyes, and turned her head to look. She saw Yun Zhaoyao smiling sweetly at her.
"Good morning, Sister Hua!"
"Oh~" Hua Buyu clutched her chest, seemingly quite frightened. "Hey Yun Zhaoyao, can you please stop scaring me?"
She had barely finished speaking when she realized that the two of them were now lying stiffly on the bed. Startled, she sat up abruptly, pointed at him, and angrily asked, "What happened? Wasn't I sitting by your bed? How did I end up on the bed?"
Yun Zhaoyao pouted immediately, explaining in a wronged tone, "Sister Hua, you did indeed take a nap by my bedside last night, but who knew that in the middle of the night, you suddenly climbed up and took up almost the entire bed. You not only kicked me, but also stole my blanket..."
"Ah! Wh...what?" After hearing Yun Zhaoyao's tearful complaint, Hua Buyu was at a loss. She had run into the bed in the middle of the night and even snatched Zhaoyao's blanket!
Hua Buyu scratched his head, looking utterly bewildered, and muttered to himself, "When did I start sleepwalking?"
"Sister Hua, just look at where you're lying on the inside, you can tell you climbed up here by yourself!"
Yun Zhaoyao became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, raising her right hand to pull open her sleeve, "Sister Hua, look, you not only kicked me last night, but you also hurt my wound like this."
"Ah! How could this be?" Hua Buyu looked at his hand in shock. It was much better last night, and there was no redness or swelling. Now it was even worse than before the medicine was applied, and it looked like it was about to ooze pus.
"Zhaoyao, did I really do this to you last night?"
"Mmm." Yun Zhaoyao nodded, a few teardrops still clinging to her eyelashes.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't even know I could sleepwalk, and I don't remember what happened last night. Hurry up and wash up. I'll help you get dressed and apply your medicine properly. I won't do it again."
Looking at the bloody wound, Hua Buyu felt extremely guilty. "Little Zhaoyao, your skin is so delicate, it must hurt a lot, right? I'll go look for a better medicine later. Don't worry, Sister Hua will definitely not let you have a scar."
"It's alright! Sister Hua, with you by my side last night, I slept so comfortably for the first time, and even my hands don't hurt anymore."
"So, should I still take painkillers?"
"Yes, you are!"
