Shopkeeper Cui was not born and raised in Lotus Flower Town. He had moved over from the south. His grandfather had passed the county-level examination in the Capital, and his grandmother’s entire family had moved together with him. She originally thought that she would be able to become a wife of a scholar in the future, but who knew that his grandfather would fail the examination in the next year and fall ill in a fit of anger. He actually passed away in a few years.

At that time, he was in his mother’s stomach.

His family’s life was difficult, so he has always helped his father do things since he was young. His father had a skill passed down from his ancestors—making candied hawthorn. Unfortunately, his father didn’t teach him everything before he passed away.

It was not that he had never tried to study, but he was not cut out for it at all.

There was no need to mention how hard it was to become the shopkeeper of the White Jade Restaurant. There was no one to teach him, and his experience was gained from suffering losses. He had long developed a personality of saying what he should and shouldn’t say. Today, he was really proud. Furthermore, Lotus Flower Village was a poor and remote place, so he wasn’t worried that what he said would be spread.

How could he have expected that he had only indulged once and had courted death?

Yan Jiuchao had been to the White Jade Restaurant before, and Shopkeeper Cui happened to be there as well. He was lucky enough to see the true appearance of this legendary young master. Therefore, when he turned around and found that the “lunatic” he mentioned was standing behind him, his legs went limp on the spot and he almost fell into the well!

Yu Feng had been to the Young Master Mansion, but he had only seen Uncle Wan. Yu Feng had also gone to the White Jade Restaurant, but he had brushed past Young Master Yan. Therefore, Yu Feng did not recognize Yan Jiuchao.

Even if he didn’t recognize him, Yan Jiuchao’s overly handsome face and abnormally noble temperament still shocked Yu Feng slightly. And when he saw that Shopkeeper Cui was so scared of him, he could vaguely guess the other party’s identity.

Everyone knew that Yan Jiuchao was a lunatic, but no one dared to call him a lunatic in front of him.

Shopkeeper Cui’s entire body went limp as he collapsed on the well. He was especially spineless. Ah! How could this be? Why would this little lunatic come to such a place! It was too scary!

Yan Jiuchao looked at Shopkeeper Cui as if he was looking at a dead person.

Even without turning around, Shopkeeper Cui could feel that his time was almost up. Wuu… Extreme joy turned into sorrow. It was really too tragic…

“Young Master Yan,” Yu Wan said softly.

“It’s useless to plead for him,” Yan Jiuchao said arrogantly.

Shopkeeper Cui trembled even more violently. Miss Yu was his son’s savior. If it was useless even if she pleaded for mercy, his life was over!

Yu Wan glanced at the cold and arrogant Yan Jiuchao. She suddenly reached out and grabbed Yan Jiuchao’s wrist, dragging him away without any explanation.

A second ago, he was still a little silk pants who wished he could do anything, but now, he was being taken away like an obedient baby?!

Shopkeeper Cui was shocked!

Yu Feng was as frightened as Shopkeeper Cui. He was already certain that the man was the legendary Young Master Yan after he heard his sister address him. However, this was not the main point. The main point was, why did the young master of a city come to their village?

Wait! Why did his sister bring him into the Ding Family’s new residence? 

Wasn’t that Young Master Wan’s house?

Wan…

Uncle Wan came out.

Yu Feng felt terrible!

… .

Young Master Yan’s favor was not so easy to sell.

“Change the dressing.”

Yu Wan changed the dressing for Yan Jiuchao, who was already walking steadily.

“Make tea.”

Yu Wan made another pot of Longjing tea for Yan Jiuchao, who had a cup of hot tea beside him.

“Peel the oranges.”

Yu Wan picked up an orange and peeled it.

“Remove the orange pith as well.”

Orange pith was used to lower body heat! Yu Wan took a deep breath and patiently plucked every orange pith. At this time, it was not him who needed to eat the orange pith, but her.

It was getting late. She still had chives to pick.

Yu Wan was peeling the orange when she turned around. She saw that Yan Jiuchao had closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep.

When he woke up, his eyes were filled with light and he looked incomparably noble. Even when he was asleep, he looked gorgeous. In fact, after losing that vicious aura, he exuded a trace of quiet gentleness.

This kind of Yan Jiuchao was something that outsiders had never seen before. It was a pity that she had to pick wild vegetables. Otherwise, just his looks alone would make her admire him for an entire afternoon.

Yu Wan gently placed the orange back on the fruit plate and tiptoed out. Just as she was about to cross the threshold, Yan Jiuchao, who had yet to open his eyes, said lazily, “Shadow Six, kill that Cui guy.”

Yu Wan obediently sat back down by the bed and peeled the orange.

The room was warm, and a comfortable warm fragrance wafted out of the incense burner. Yu Wan felt sleepy as she peeled the skin. She tilted her head and fell asleep leaning against the bedpost.

The man on the bed slowly opened his eyes. His slender fingers picked up the half-peeled orange and placed it back on the fruit plate on the small table.

It was rare for girls her age to work as hard as her. She woke up before dawn and only fell asleep in the middle of the night. She was so busy during the day that her feet did not touch the ground. She had probably never thought of taking a break.

Yan Jiuchao walked down and gently carried her to the bed. He took off the patched shoes on her feet. No matter how shameless Yan Jiuchao was, he had never really thought of using this method to take advantage of a girl. He stuffed her into the blanket and tucked her in, planning to leave.

Yu Wan suddenly turned around and hugged his waist.
