Chapter 315: Jealousy
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Luo Cheng had already noticed Pei Xuanxin’s abnormality when he appeared.
Seeing that his gaze had landed on Li Xiaoran, Luo Cheng was immediately jealous.
“Wife, your food will spoil if you don’t finish it now!” Luo Cheng reminded her.
Li Xiaoran was a foodie. No matter how beautiful something was, it wasn’t as important as her food.
Therefore, when Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she turned around and came back to eat.
After Li Xiaoran came back, Changsheng came back to eat as well.
For a child who hadn’t been fed for a long time, food was more important than anything else.
Seeing that the two of them had come back obediently, Luo Cheng smiled in satisfaction.
However, just as he was about to leave, he saw Pei Xuanxin coming out of the carriage again and looking over. He immediately snorted.
For some reason, Pei Xuanxin’s attention towards Li Xiaoran made Luo Cheng very unhappy.
Of course, Luo Cheng also knew that Pei Xuanxin had probably taken a carriage to the capital to take the examination.
Thinking that he wouldn’t have to see this person for a long time, Luo Cheng felt much better.
However, what happened today made Luo Cheng vigilant.
It seemed that he couldn’t let Pei Xuanxin see Li Xiaoran. Otherwise, something unexpected would definitely happen.
Thinking of this, Luo Cheng’s gaze landed on Li Xiaoran.
At this moment, Li Xiaoran was eating happily and didn’t notice the change in
Luo Cheng’s emotions at all.
Even though she had empathy, she didn’t always pay attention to other people’s emotions.
If that was the case, Li Xiaoran would have been driven crazy by all kinds of emotions. Perhaps she would have chosen to live in seclusion in the deep mountains and forests.
Pei Xuanxin didn’t see the person he wanted to see anymore. At this moment, an urge overcame him.
It was as if a force was telling him that if he missed this opportunity, he would definitely regret it.
Just as he decided to go upstairs and take a look, the carriage moved.
It turned out that the matter ahead had been resolved and the road was no longer obstructed, so the carriage began to move.
This time, Pei Xuanxin’s urge dissipated in an instant. He could only sit back in the carriage and continue towards the capital.
After Luo Cheng confirmed that the carriage outside had left, he was relieved.
Li Xiaoran and Changsheng were almost done eating.
Luo Cheng walked over and finished the remaining glutinous rice balls in his bowl in a few bites. Then, he stood up and left with Li Xiaoran and Changsheng.
Since they were here to buy clothes, they naturally had to go to a ready-to-wear shop.
Actually, clothes in ready-to-wear shops were much more expensive, but there was no need to wait since there were ready-made clothes.
If they bought cloth to make clothes for themselves, they would definitely spend a lot less money, but it would also be very cumbersome.
After all, they had to sew it themselves. The clothes might not be ready in time for spring and summer.
At the thought of sewing clothes, Li Xiaoran felt burdened. They might as well buy ready-to-wear clothes!
Even if it was expensive, so be it. Only by spending money could one have the motivation to earn money.
Just like that, the three of them entered the largest ready-to-wear shop in town and started shopping.
They had already taken their family’s measurements yesterday, so they could just report their measurements and buy the clothes.
As for Changsheng, he tried clothes on at the ready-to-wear shop.
If they felt that the clothing looked good, they bought it directly.
As a woman, Li Xiaoran naturally wanted to try on beautiful clothes.
Therefore, Luo Cheng sat at the side and waited. Every time he saw Li Xiaoran change her clothes, he would size her up carefully.
It had to be said that Li Xiaoran had good taste.
She knew what her physical flaws were, so she chose clothes that suited her.
Therefore, Luo Cheng felt that the clothes Li Xiaoran chose were very suitable.
Just like that, all the clothes Li Xiaoran had tried on were bought by Luo Cheng.
They also bought five outfits for Changsheng. Originally, Li Xiaoran felt that it was too little and wanted to buy two more, but Changsheng shook his head.
“Sister Ran, I grow quickly. If you buy too many, I won’t be able to wear them that many times! Five outfits is enough. I can wear them now. When the clothes and pants become too short later on, I can wear them as summer clothes!”
Li Xiaoran felt that Changsheng was right, so she gave up on buying a few more outfits.
After that, the three of them chose a few more outfits for the family before paying the bill and asking the shopkeeper to send the clothes straight home.
Because they bought a lot, the shopkeeper was very happy and even gave the three of them a huge discount.
This time, in addition to buying the family’s spring and summer clothes, there was another very important task, which was to buy seedlings and seeds.
Some vegetable seedlings would be planted and sold at the market.
Li Xiaoran and the others needed to buy vegetable seedlings to plant vegetables. If there were no vegetable seedlings to buy, they could only buy some seeds.
However, there was no time to buy it today. The people at the market had already dispersed. They could only buy it tomorrow morning.
They had been out for most of the day, so the three of them planned to go back and rest.
After all, Changsheng was still a child, and a weak child at that. After returning, he went to the room that had already been cleaned to sleep.
Li Xiaoran checked the clothes sent over by the ready-to-wear shop, then folded them one by one and placed them in the rattan box.
Luo Cheng also went to his study and found He Houfa to discuss things.
“Young Master, the Han family came to the wine shop to look for me yesterday. They wanted me to sell some wine to them at a discounted price. I rejected them at that time. Unexpectedly, there was a thief in the wine shop last night. Fortunately, the workers in the shop were all awake. When they heard the commotion, they quickly called people over to catch the thief together.” He Houfa thought of something and suddenly said, “But that thief was very cunning. When he saw that the situation wasn’t right, he slipped away!” When Luo Cheng heard this, he immediately became vigilant.
“Uncle He, have you checked the wine? Could they have been tampered with?” He Houfa nodded when he heard Luo Cheng’s words.
“You and I have the same idea, so the wine in the wine shop today is from the spare warehouse. The wine in the original stock hasn’t been taken out. I wonder if you’re free now. Why don’t we go take a look together?!”
This was a serious matter, so Luo Cheng naturally didn’t hesitate and followed He Houfa to the wine cellar.
“Fortunately, most of the wine in the wine shop has been sold out. There’s only a little left in these two jars. I should have sent someone to bring the wine back yesterday, but I was pestered by an old drunkard, so I didn’t go. Now that I think about it, I’m a little glad that I didn’t bring the wine back.. Otherwise, it would have been a waste!”
