Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 638 - 637: There’s Hope (2)

Xuan Ming watched as Bi Chen’s figure vanished into the garden, then leisurely withdrew his gaze, looking towards the flower bushes where Luo Lingshu and Shen Qinglan were hiding and laughed, "Cousin, Miss Shen, have you seen enough?"

Shen Qinglan and Luo Lingshu exchanged a glance. Shen Qinglan slightly raised her eyebrows, while Luo Lingshu chuckled and stood up, looking at Xuan Ming, "Brother Xuan Ming, how did you know we were hiding here?"

Xuan Ming walked over with a smile and whispered, "If I didn’t even know that, how could I qualify as the Young Master’s attendant?"

"How boring!" Luo Lingshu pouted, looking at Xuan Ming with a gossipy expression, "Brother Xuan Ming, do you know why Sister Bi Chen was crying?"

Xuan Ming slightly shook his head, "I don’t know."

"Didn’t you just ask?" Luo Lingshu’s tone was a bit disappointed.

Xuan Ming raised his eyebrows, "Whether I asked or not, didn’t you hear?"

"So you asked, but Sister Bi Chen didn’t answer, right?" Luo Lingshu said, "Brother Xuan Ming, you’re really not considerate. If it were me, I would have taken off my cloak and put it on Sister Bi Chen, then said: Miss Bi Chen, it’s chilly at night, shall I escort you back home?!"

Xuan Ming: ...

Shen Qinglan: ...

What kind of cheesy soap opera is this?

"Cousin, Bi Chen and I are not related, how could I do such a frivolous thing?" Xuan Ming was helpless, "Besides, are you sure that Bi Chen wouldn’t be scared away by such an action?"

"Pfft~" Luo Lingshu pouted, "Brother Xuan Ming, you really have no sense of romance."

Xuan Ming: ...

A different way of thinking, simply no way to communicate.

He cleared his throat lightly and said, "It’s cold, cousin, you should go back to rest early, I’ll escort Miss Shen back."

"Then I’m off!" Luo Lingshu waved at Shen Qinglan, "See you tomorrow morning, cousin’s wife."

Shen Qinglan smiled and nodded, standing with Xuan Ming as they watched her leave.

"If you don’t come back soon, I’ll have to come and catch you." A voice full of mirth came from the depths of the garden.

Shen Qinglan followed the voice and looked up, seeing a figure in white slowly emerging under the moonlight.

"Young Master!"

Xuan Ming called out softly, then stepped aside, offering the spot next to Shen Qinglan to the newcomer.

Duan Yunfei smiled, walked over in a few steps, and took Shen Qinglan’s hand as they headed back, "Why did you take so long?"

"Was it long?" Shen Qinglan said, "We just went to greet Young Master Qian, then on the way back, we ran into something, so we stayed a bit longer."

"Oh?" Duan Yunfei slightly raised his eyebrows, "What happened? Tell me."

Shen Qinglan replied truthfully, "It wasn’t anything major. On the way back, we saw Miss Bi Chen crying by the lake. I intended to comfort her, but Xuan Ming got there first. Then Lingshu pulled me aside to eavesdrop."

Behind them, Xuan Ming gave an awkward cough.

Duan Yunfei, however, seemed intrigued, "Oh? Miss Bi Chen? Why was she crying there?"

Shen Qinglan shook her head, "Didn’t have a chance to ask."

"Then..." Duan Yunfei turned his head to look at Xuan Ming, "Xuan Ming, did you ask?"

"Uh..." Xuan Ming hesitated, "I asked, but Miss Bi Chen didn’t answer."

Duan Yunfei chuckled softly and asked Xuan Ming, "Xuan Ming, what do you think of Miss Bi Chen?"

Xuan Ming pondered for a moment and commented, "She is a gentle and kind girl with a refined character and speaks softly."

"Does she meet your criteria for a wife?"

Duan Yunfei’s sudden question made Xuan Ming cough violently.
