Chapter 750 - 752: In This Regard, I Follow My Dad
CHAPTER 750: CHAPTER 752: IN THIS REGARD, I FOLLOW MY DAD
The woman had a look of confusion, as if she didn’t know who she was or where she was, and her fair face instantly flushed red, but she remained perplexed, since she clearly hadn’t mistaken anyone.
She immediately changed from her angry expression to a shy smile, and said quickly while looking down, "Sorry, I just mistook you for someone else, how rude of me. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness and an early birth of a noble child."
After saying that, she ran off faster than a rabbit, occasionally looking back to gesture to her maid to follow her, her strange behavior and expressions leaving Wang Xiangxiang and Chu Lian in a daze.
The little maid hastily paid the bill, shouting, "Miss, wait for me!" and then she too ran out.
After this episode, the shopkeeper quickly spoke up to calm everyone down, and everyone returned to their seats to continue their meals.
Although the restaurant was crowded, Chu Lian and Wang Xiangxiang still had a seat, as every Yuelai Restaurant reserved a private room specifically for their own family members.
As Chu Lian and Wang Xiangxiang entered the private room, Wang Xiangxiang asked, "Husband, do you have any unwanted suitors outside?"
"No, absolutely not," Chu Lian replied seriously.
"It’s better if there aren’t." Wang Xiangxiang pursed her lips. Although she said this, she was well aware that in a family like the Chu Family, taking concubines was normal, and even if Chu Lian wanted to take a concubine, she couldn’t object.
Chu Lian seemed to see what Wang Xiangxiang was thinking, and taking her hand, said indulgently, "Don’t worry, you are the only one for me in this lifetime."
Wang Xiangxiang was extremely surprised by his words. How many men were willing to forego taking concubines?
"My dad had only my mom his entire life. In this matter, I follow my dad."
"Puhahaha." Wang Xiangxiang felt warm inside. To find someone who would be yours alone in this lifetime was such good fortune. She had spent several years searching and finally, it was not in vain, "Thank you, husband."
Chu Lian patted Wang Xiangxiang’s head. "Alright, stop overthinking, that kind of thing is absolutely not going to happen, just rest easy."
"Okay." Wang Xiangxiang nodded, "By the way, that girl was really interesting, so young and yet so bold, daring to publicly accuse you of being fickle."
Wang Xiangxiang thought to herself, what a daring girl from an unknown family she was, to confront someone so openly in public. Typically, women were much reserved in public, especially unmarried girls. If seen behaving this way, it might become difficult for them to get married.
That girl was obviously around fourteen or fifteen years old, still unwed.
Clearly, she was standing up for a friend, and to disregard her own reputation for someone else’s sake was no small feat. Plus, her actions as she was leaving had been quite cute to Wang Xiangxiang.
She recognized most of the young ladies from Shanshi County’s families, yet this girl was unfamiliar to her.
"I am definitely not fickle, heaven and earth can attest to that," Chu Lian immediately added.
Wang Xiangxiang smiled wryly, "Hehe, I know you’re not fickle. I just thought that girl was very interesting. I wonder which family’s young lady she is?"
Chu Lian thought for a moment, he really had no recollection of the girl, "Perhaps she’s new here, I’ve never seen her before."
"Alright, let’s stop talking about her. I brought you today to try something delicious, the new dishes at Yuelai Restaurant are sure to please you," Chu Lian said with full confidence, knowing well Xiangxiang’s special affection for good food.
