When Long Xiao heard this, she was secretly delighted and asked, âIs he coming to look for me?â
âHe didnât say. He only said that he was going to Miao Capital and that you would look for him. He wanted me to pass on the message to you to let you know that heâs going to Miao Capital.â
The smile on Long Xiaoâs lips had just blossomed froze. She frowned and asked, âHas he met anyone recently?â
âHe hasnât met anyone.â
The village chief recalled what had happened during this period and suddenly remembered something that had been circulating in the village for the past few days. It was that Ah Yu, who lived at the end of the village, had taken a liking to a woman, and she was even seen leaving his house early in the morning.
There were also rumors that Ah Yu had already been engaged to someone for the rest of his life. He did not even want a matchmaker anymore.
In Kua Yi Village, matchmakers were in charge of arranging a marriage. Regardless of whether it was for an introduction or starting a relationship, matchmakers were the ones in charge.
The important point was that no one knew who the woman in Ah Yuâs house was.
This matter had already spread throughout the village in the past few days.
The village chief also mentioned it. âA few days ago, someone in the village said that they saw a woman coming out of Ah Yuâs house in the morning.â
Long Xiaoâs expression became twisted. She asked, âWhat woman? Whatâs her name?â âI donât know where sheâs from, but a villager just happened to see her when they were leaving their house. They only saw her back and didnât know what she looks like,â said the village chief.
Long Xiao gripped her phone tightly. She had only left for a few days, and there was already a woman rushing to deliver herself to his door? The village chief did not know what to do. He asked again, âMiss Long, do you want him to leave? Heâs still waiting at the door. I told him Iâm calling a cab for him.â
Long Xiao frowned. She had not arranged everything here yet. If he were to come here now, what if...
But with the thought of the woman crawling on his bed, she could not let him stay in that village any longer.
She said, âJust say that youâve arranged for a car and ask him to wait a while. Iâll send a car over now.â
âOkay, okay, okay. Iâll go tell him now.â The village chief hung up the phone and walked out. Long Xiao gripped her phone tightly, her expression still ugly. Who was the woman who came out of his house?
She couldnât overthink right now. She made a call first and asked someone to send a car to pick him up. Then, she stood up and went straight to look for Long Qingyue to arrange a place for him to stay.
The Village Chief walked out of the backroom and told Ah Yu with a smile, âWait here. The car has already been called. Itâll take some time. It was Miss Long who called the car. I called her and told her that you want to go to the Miao Capital, so she sent a car to pick you up.â
The man sat on the chair. When he heard this, he did not forget to say, âThank you, Chief.â
âWhat are you thanking me for? Weâre all from the same village. Itâs only right for us to help each other.â The Village Chief glanced at Ah Yu. He had lived for a long time, but he had never seen such a handsome person. He wanted to ask which girl he was with, but he did not dare ask.
The main reason was that the manâs aura was very strong. Sitting there without saying a word made it difficult for people to get close to him,
The Village Chief was still thinking, which girl was so cool that Ah Yu would take a fancy in?
âAh Yu, hereâs some water.â The village chiefâs daughter-in-law brought a glass of water to him.
âThank you, but Iâm not thirsty.â The man directly refused. Due to his obsession with cleanliness, he did not like to use other peopleâs cups for drinking.
The village chiefâs daughter-in-law withdrew her hand a little awkwardly. She glanced at Ah Yu and asked, âDo you want to eat some fruit then? We just bought some. Theyâre very fresh.â
The man continued to decline politely. âNo, thank you.â âAlright then.âThe village chiefâs daughter-in-law returned to the table with the tea.
After about an hour, the man did not see the car arrive. He was a little anxious. He could have already walked to the town in that one hour, but he remained very calm. âVillage chief, when will the car arrive?â
The village chief said, âLetâs wait a little longer. It should be soon. The car that Miss Long called for will bring you straight to the Long family in Miao Capital.â
The man thought for a while. He was not familiar with the Miao Capital at all. If he asked Long Xiao to help her find someone, it would be more convenient and faster.
With this thought in mind, he looked forward to meeting the woman. He wanted to see the surprise on her face.
At that time, he would give her another bear
hug.
As he thought about it, the manâs lips unconsciously curved into a beautiful arc.
Two girls happened to be passing by the door and were encaptured by the sight, even forgetting to continue walking, and stared at the man.
The village chiefâs daughter-in-law also saw it. She was already in her thirties, but she had never seen such a beautiful man. It was her first time seeing a man smile, and she was also stunned.
The village chief held his tobacco pipe and saw this scene. He coughed lightly twice. âCough cough...â
The village chiefâs daughter-in-law withdrew her gaze in embarrassment.
At this moment, a luxurious car stopped at the entrance. A man in a black suit got out of the vehicle. He walked directly to Ah Yu and asked, âYouâre Ah Yu, right? Miss Long asked me to come and pick you up.â âYes,â the man replied. His slender figure stood up from the chair and picked up the luggage beside him.
The man in a suit enthusiastically went to pick up the luggage. âGive me the luggage. Iâll handle it.â
The man did not refuse. He handed the luggage to him, opened the car door, and sat inside.
After the man in the suit put the luggage away, he got into the car and drove away.
The journey was silent.
Two hours later, they arrived at the Long Manor.
Long Xiao calculated the time and waited at the door. Today, she was wearing a beige down jacket with a black undershirt on the inside. Under it, she wore a skirt that reached her feet. Her long, shoulder-length hair was curled up in a big bun. It was stylish and beautiful.
The car stopped at the door, and the car door was opened from the inside. When she saw Ah Yu get out of the car, she raised the hem of her skirt and went up to him with a smile.
âAh Yu, I originally planned to bring you over in two days. I didnât expect you to come over on your own. Follow me in first. Iâve arranged a room for you.â
The man raised his head and looked at the signboard above his head. He only took a glance and could guess how big the garden was.
He retracted his gaze and looked at Long Xiao. âI donât think I should move in here.â
âWhatâs wrong about it? Do you still need to be so polite even with our relationship? Letâs go
in.â
Long Xiao looked at him with a smile on her face. She reached out and pulled him into the garden.
The man only hesitated for a few seconds before she pulled him in. Thinking that he still needed her help, he followed her in.
He realized that it was even bigger than he had imagined when he entered.
Qin Shu went to the Heavy Wood Courtyard to look for Long Muyan for hotpot because she promised to take him last night.
For this reason, she specifically went to ask Long Qingyue if she could take Long Muyan out for a meal.
Seeing that Qin Shu was a guest and a business partner, Long Qingyue couldnât refuse. She just wanted to go for a meal, so he nodded and agreed.
Qin Shu walked into the Heavy Wood Courtyard and saw Long Muyan sitting in front of the wooden table, fiddling with his vessels and insects.
She strode over. âLong Muyan, donât bother with these. Iâll bring you to eat hotpot.â
âOkay.â Long Muyan hadnât gone out for a long time. He was a little excited but also a little nervous. He closed the lid and put the vessels back.
Then he stood up and followed Qin Shu out.
