Chapter 50

TRANSLATED BY MYPEN_22

Yan Shi saw that the young princess had only eaten three bowls of porridge plus two buns and a pie, it seems that he was really disgusted by Cha nan, even the breakfast he ate so little, he was immediately heartbroken, softly asked "eat some more?"

Cha Nan frowned at the side and said, "Is Mr. Hua not feeling well?"

"Maybe he's sleepy, he slept late yesterday and got up a little early today." Yan Shi said.

"In that case, then Mr. Hua should go back to his room and take another nap." Cha nan immediately put down his chopsticks and stood up very attentive and ready.

Yan Shi asked Hua Ling's opinion in a low voice, and Hua Ling nodded and did not refuse.

Cha Nan enthusiastically asked his servants to prepare the guest room, using all the best things, and personally saw that it was okay before letting them take it to the guest room.

Gao Changgeng always looked on, not saying a word, as if the real owner of the house was Cha Nan.

When they got to the room, Hua Ling did not want to sleep. Yan Shi coaxed him, "Take a nap, you won't grow taller if you don't sleep well."

Only then did Hua Ling obediently obey, "Then brother will sleep with me."

Yan Shi was in tears, "Fine, fine, I'll sleep with you."

Hua Ling slowly walked towards the bed when Yan Shi suddenly called out to him from behind, Hua Ling turned his head in wonder "What's wrong brother?"

Yan Shi smiled "Have you grown a bit taller?"

"Really?" When he heard that he had grown taller, Hua Ling's eyes immediately lit up, clearing his gloom, "Have I really grown taller?"

There was a large mirror in the room, Yan Shi took his hand and brought him to the mirror, standing with him and looking carefully "It is true that you have grown a little taller, before you and I were about the same height, look now, you are a little taller than me."

Hua Ling looked carefully and saw that s

he was indeed taller than Yan Shi by one head, he was immediately happy, smiling and hugging him from behind, placing his chin on his shoulder "Brother, I want to grow taller so that I can protect you in the future."

"Good." Yan Shi smiled softly, "I can count on Mingting in the future." This was the first time in his life that someone had said they would protect him, and it was a very reassuring feeling. His back rested against Hua Ling's chest, as if this warm chest could really shield him from all the wind and rain.

The two of them went back to bed and embraced each other, and Yan Shi asked softly, "What did you say to Doctor Qu just now?"

Hua Ling buried his head in Yan Shi's chest and made a muffled sound "I asked him if he had that kind of compulsion that hurts as long as people lie." It was self-explanatory as to who it was for.

Yan Shi laughed lightly "So what did he say?"

Hua Ling was a little disappointed "He said no."

Yan Shi rubbed his hair, which was smoother than fine satin, "Go to sleep."

The original intention was to lull Hua Ling to sleep, but he didn't expect Yan Shi to fall asleep himself.

The next morning, the two of them cleaned up and left the house, and were guided by the underlings of the Gao Mansion to meet Gao Changgeng.

Qu Liujing was already there drinking tea with Gao Chang Geng, and they seemed to be having a good conversation.

"Where is Brother Cha?" Yan Shi asked.

"He's gone to the shop." Gao Changgeng said as he stood up, "A few of you are new to my Hengzhou, right? Why don't I show you around?"

They didn't take a sedan chair or a carriage, so they just talked and walked along the street slowly.

A white figure flashed not far ahead, and Gao Changgeng paused slightly, but soon returned to normal, not letting anyone see anything different about him.

"Old man, this is for you, it's cold now, you can sit it under your bottom to save yourself from getting cold." A soft voice with a slight smile rang out from the front, followed by the voice of an old man saying thank you.

Yan Shi and Hua Ling looked at each other, the younger voice seemed to be Xiao Bailian who had spoken to Cha Nan at the door yesterday.

When Yan Shi took a few steps over, the man was already gone, leaving them with a snowy white back.

Along the street there was a trip to the vendors, some of whom sat directly on the green stone slabs when they were tired, now that it was winter, it was cool to sit on the ground like that. But now, Yan Shi found that almost every hawker had a small cushion under his buttocks, which must have been given by Xiao Bai Lian.

Yan Shi knelt down and asked an old man, "Old man, is that man your son?"

"No, how could I have such a good son?" The old man laughed.

Yan Shi asked again "Did he give you all this mat?"

The old man nodded "Yes, Bai Lian is a good boy, he can't bear to see us suffer, he will help anyone who is in trouble. Such a good boy, but ... his life is not good! I'm sorry." The old man seemed to be about to say something, but a glance at the Gao Changgeng standing by the side and did not say anything.

Yan Shi nodded his head and said nothing more.

Although Gao Changgeng's face was unchanged, but this heart to hold something uncomfortable, he reached out his long arm, pointed to the left of and said "Let's go there to see, through this alley, and then a little ahead is a street, there is a tavern, although the sign is not big, but the food is good, now it is almost noon, why do we go there to eat? "

They followed Gao Changgeng to the tavern. The tavern was just as he had said, not very big, but inside it was clean and tidy. It was not yet noon and there were not many people in the tavern.

"Please come in, gentlemen." Seeing someone enter, the shopkeeper greeted them, but why did this soft voice sound so familiar?

Yan Shi raised his eyes and saw that the person standing next to him was Xiao Bailian.

Gao Changgeng didn't expect to see him here either, he thought he could avoid him by walking this way, but he thought he would be on someone else's turf. He was slightly stunned, but in the end he was a man of business, his face remained unchanged, he had already brought people in, so he couldn't find any excuse to go out, so he had to walk in.

The tavern was not large and had no elegant rooms, so Gao Changgeng found a table in the far corner and sat down with his back to the door.

"A few, what would you like to eat?" Xiao Bailian stood by the table, his head bowed and not daring to look around, his voice trembling slightly as if he was facing a group of bullies who had come to smash up the shop.

He was not too tall, but not too short either, barely passable by the standards of the Great Abyss. But this man was so skinny that he looked like a skeleton that had run out of clothes. He was a good-looking man, with a standard palm-sized face. His eyes were big and watery, blinking at the crowd, and his pathetic look made people feel a strong desire to protect him from the bottom of their hearts. Not to mention the fact that he was genuinely scared and looked like a little white rabbit that could be bullied, which really made people feel some compassion.

But Gao Changgeng hates this kind of look on him, he looks so weak and helpless all day long.

Yan Shi ordered a few dishes at random and didn't ask for any wine. Xiao Bailian wrote them down and left as quickly as he could.

The food came up quickly, and Xiao Bailian kept his head down as the dishes were served, introducing the names of the dishes in a whisper and quickly, and left again.

Although Gao Changgeng still joked with the crowd, it was not like before. Yan Shi didn't say much either, and the meal was quite cordial.

But when the meal was about to be finished, another familiar voice sounded like thunder over the tavern, "Bai Lian, serve me some good dishes." Who else could this voice be if not Cha nan?

The anger on his face could no longer be controlled, but he did not get up immediately and remained sitting there.

Hua Ling, who was still eating happily, was embarrassed to eat any more, and he asked Yan Shi with his eyes, who closed them slightly. What could they do? They could only pretend that they didn't know.

Xiao Bailian finished serving the last dish to Cha nan and was about to leave when his hand was grabbed by him, "Bailian, sit down and eat with me."

The place where Cha Nan was sitting was only one table away from Gao Changgeng, and he had not deliberately lowered his voice, so the words he said reached Gao Changgeng's ears in their original form.

"You let go of me!" Although the voice was still soft, it had a defiance that could not be denied.

"You're still angry with me? Hmm?" Cha nan didn't take this to heart at all and thought it was a little fling between lovers.

"Let go! Let go!" Xiao Bailian struggled so hard that several tables were already looking over, so Cha nan had to let go of his shackled hand.

Xiao Bailian rubbed his hand, which had just been grabbed by Cha nan, on his trousers, seemingly in disgust.

"Bai Lian, are you still angry?" It was only then that Cha nan seemed to see Xiao Bailian's anger and put his chopsticks down on the table, "Haven't I explained everything to you? I was forced into a corner and had no choice but to agree to marry Gao Changgeng."

"You really had no choice?" Xiao Bailian's voice trembled slightly, and his entire person trembled slightly as well. In the past, when Cha nan had come to him several times, he was not willing to talk to him much, but today, I don't know if it was because Gao Changgeng was also there, but he actually wanted to say all these things, "Back then, Gao Changgeng did say that if you agreed to marry him, he would cure your mother's illness. But he also said that if you didn't want to, he could lend you the silver, and the interest would be calculated according to the market rate." But at that time, Xiao Bailian was already prepared to be burdened with huge debts once he became married to Cha nan. He thought that as long as the two were together, no matter how much the debt was, there would always be a day when it would be paid off and the days would always pass, but he chose to marry him instead.

"You, how did you know?" Cha nan's heart was shocked, he had thought that only he and Gao Changgeng knew about this matter.

"You don't care how I know." Xiao Bailian continued, "I just want to say that from the moment you chose Gao Changgeng, there was no possibility for us."

"Bailian, you have to think of me too." Cha Nan hurriedly defended himself, "Gao Changgeng did say that I didn't have to marry him and that he could lend me silver. But the silver is too much, even if we both work for ten years without eating or drinking, we may not be able to pay it back."

I have something to say CHA NAN IS A BI----A---TCH!! 🙄
