Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ever since she had Shen Ruyue, she felt much more relaxed.
In the county city.
With the help of the horse, the delivery was very fast. All the goods for the three clients were delivered in two hours.
Chu Third pointed at the cloth shop beside him and said, “Eldest Brother, Second Sister said to bring some fabrics back for her. I’ll go buy some fabrics.”
“I’m going to talk business with the sugar seller. After I’m done, I’ll pick you up.” Chu Xuhua’s palms were sweating slightly and he was a little nervous.
Chu Third nodded. “Alright.”
Chu Xuhua led the horse slowly to the sugar shop. This was the first time he discussed business alone. He was especially worried that he would not mess it up. Previously, his palms were sweating, but now, his forehead was starting to sweat.
Just as he was feeling nervous, a familiar female voice came from behind. “Chu First.”
Chu Xuhua turned around. The person who called him was Fan Jiayao, who had broken off the engagement with him.
Fan Jiayao dressed like a married woman and looked more mature.
He was a little conflicted and did not want to talk to her.
Fan Jiayao looked at the tall horse enviously, but she thought that Chu Xuhua must be working as a deliveryman and the horse definitely did not belong to him.
She walked up to Chu Xuhua and asked with concern, “Chu First, are you not farming anymore?”
Chu Xuhua said coldly, “What do you want to say? I still have something to do.” With that, he pulled the horse and continued walking.
Fan Jiayao reached out to stop Chu Xuhua. She knew that Chu Xuhua liked her.. “Chu First, don’t be so cold. You can’t blame me for breaking off the engagement back then.”
Chu Xuhua glanced at Fan Jiayao. “You’re already married. What’s the point of talking about these things?”
Fan Jiayao said self-righteously, “I know you resent me, but I had no choice back then. Chu First, you can blame me, but I can’t watch you ruin your life like this. You should go home and be a farmer. Don’t be a servant.”
Chu Xuhua’s eyes were filled with shock. Who told her that he had become a servant?
“I think you’ve misunderstood. I’m not a servant.”
Fan Jiayao thought that Chu Xuhua was denying it out of self-esteem, so she did not expose him. “Chu First, then go home quickly.”
Chu Xuhua was speechless. Why didn’t he realize that Fan Jiayao was so self-righteous before?
“I still have something to do. Move aside.”
Seeing that Chu Xuhua did not listen to her advice, Fan Jiayao said, “Chu First, hurry back to the village. The crops at home need to be watered now. If you don’t take good care of them, they’ll probably dry up.”
“As a villager, it’s most important to take care of the farmland. Don’t waste time on some quick money.”
Chu Xuhua was completely speechless. He did not know what to say.
At this moment, an elegant female voice sounded. “Brother Xuhua.”
Chu Xuhua looked up and saw a beautiful woman walking towards him. The woman was wearing a light yellow gauze dress. She had a graceful figure and a light body. She looked like a young lady from a rich family, making one’s eyes light up.
“Ruyue, why are you here?”
Shen Ruyue walked up to Chu Xuhua with a fragrance on her. “Qingzhi was worried about you and asked me to come over to take a look.”
Actually, Chu Qingzhi wanted to create some opportunities for the two of them to interact and see if they could develop feelings for each other over time.
Shen Ruyue was more capable than Chu Qingzhi had expected. She wanted to keep Shen Ruyue so that she could slack off in the future.
Chu Xuhua touched the horse that was snorting. “I just delivered the goods. I was planning to go to the sugar shop.”
Shen Ruyue smiled. “I’ll go with you.”
Fan Jiayao looked at Shen Ruyue and immediately felt a sense of inferiority. Then, she was very displeased for some reason. “Chu First, who is she?”
Chu Xuhua did not want to have anything to do with Fan Jiayao. “This has nothing to do with you. Ruyue, let’s go.”
How could Fan Jiayao let them go? Her intuition told her that their relationship was not ordinary. “Chu First, tell me, who is she?”
If the person she didn’t want found someone better than her after breaking up, she would definitely feel uncomfortable. She would only be happy to see Chu Xuhua living a miserable life.
Chu Xuhua’s face turned completely cold. “Fan Jiayao, what right do you have to ask?!”
Fan Jiayao’s expression immediately turned ugly. She could not believe that Chu First, who liked her so much back then, actually shouted at her just now!
She pointed at Shen Ruyue and questioned fiercely, “You shameless woman, did you seduce Chu First?!”
When Shen Ruyue was sent to prison, she was also accused like this. That memory was too humiliating. She did not want to think about it. Now that she was being accused by someone she did not know, it made her feel like she had returned to those humiliating days. Her face immediately turned pale.
Chu Xuhua shielded Shen Ruyue behind him and defended her. “Fan Jiayao, that’s enough. Ruyue has no grudge against you. How can you say such mean words to her?!”
Shen Ruyue slowly raised her beautiful eyes and looked at the tall figure in front of her. She suddenly felt very safe.
After taking a deep breath, she walked to Chu Xuhua’s side.
“Madam, Brother Xuhua and I are both unmarried. It’s normal and legal for us to be together. As for you… you’re already married, but you came to talk to an unmarried man. If word gets to your in-laws, I’m afraid you won’t have a good time. What do you think?”
Her voice was elegant, but it was filled with oppression.
Fan Jiayao suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Shen Ruyue with some fear. She used a curse to hide her guilt. “You’re making things up. You’re vicious!”
Shen Ruyue’s eyes turned sharp. “If you don’t leave, don’t blame me for being rude!”
Fan Jiayao gritted her teeth and glared at Shen Ruyue before running away. She was really afraid that her in-laws would find out that she was talking to Chu Xuhua. If they found out, they would definitely beat her up..
