MTL - Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year-Chapter 601 Can't get drunk
Under the bright moonlight, laughter and laughter kept coming from the Wen family’s house.
Shen Ningning stood at the door of the kitchen, watching shopkeeper Wen, wearing an apron, busy cooking food back and forth inside.
The family of four was nearby helping.
Shopkeeper Wen was going to make ten dishes to entertain Shen Ningning and Mo Lingwei. Seeing how busy he was, Shen Ningning felt embarrassed just waiting to eat.
He took the initiative to ask: "Shopkeeper, do you need my help?"
Mo Lingwei followed her and asked calmly, "What do you need my help with?"
Shopkeeper Wen waved his hands desperately: "No, no, you two go sit in front, the food will be ready soon."
Shen Ningning and Mo Lingwei were his benefactors. How could he ask them to help? Besides, given the identities of these two people, shopkeeper Wen didn't dare to let them do anything.
Wen Xiaoman came over with the rabbit in his arms, smiled and invited Shen Ningning to go to the front hall with her.
"Your Highness, you don't have to worry. My father cooks delicious food. In the past, when there was no permanent cook in the inn, he was the one who cooked the food. He also served as the accountant, cook, and waiter."
Shen Ningning walked side by side with her in the corridor, and Mo Lingwei followed behind them.
The girl was surprised: "Shopkeeper Wen is really capable. Can he do so much work by himself?"
"Yes, my father is very diligent. In fact, my grandmother said that my father is also very knowledgeable. If we hadn't hindered him in the first place, maybe he would have passed the exam."
Speaking of this, Wen Xiaoman felt a little disappointed and self-blame.
Shen Ningning smiled reassuringly: "You are gradually recovering now, and your grandmother and grandfather are also getting better. Shopkeeper Wen can wait until life here settles down before looking for an opportunity to go to the capital to take the exam."
She said, looking back at Mo Lingwei: "Right, brother?"
Mo Lingwei pursed his lips. This guy finally remembered that he was still following him.
His face turned slightly gentle and he nodded lightly: "Yes, according to the regulations of our court, anyone at the age of eighty can take the scientific examination. If he wants to go, it's never too late."
“That’s great!” Wen Xiaoman was extremely happy.
Shen Ningning sat down with her in the hall and said with a smile, "However, I guess Shopkeeper Wen should be very satisfied with his current life. Even if you guys settle down, he won't take the scientific examination again."
Wen Xiaoman was curious: "Why did Her Highness the Princess say that?"
"I guessed it based on Shopkeeper Wen's attitude towards life. You see, the business of his inn has been pretty good over the years. He should know that if he bites the bullet and opens a big shop, he can earn more money, but he still chooses Run a small shop to ensure the stability of the business, and look at your name, Xiaoman Xiaoman, they say that a small amount of life is better than a safe life, I think your name means the same."
"When you were born, Shopkeeper Wen may have felt that as long as you were alive and well, that would be the happiest thing for him. Maybe in your opinion, you felt that you were a burden to him, but Shopkeeper Wen might not have thought so. What? It’s a blessing to have family by your side.”
Shen Ningning said, she thought of her own childhood.
Even though she had not found her parents at that time, she felt very happy to have Grandma Qin and the Black Wolf King.
Her words made Wen Xiaoman fall into confusion.
Shopkeeper Wen's laughter came from the door of the flower hall: "Your Highness the Princess is really exquisite and clear. You are right. My life now is stable and happy. I no longer want to pursue fame and fortune in the court. The scientific examination is good, but it is not as good as it is now." A life of ease is better.”
As he spoke, he placed the two plates of food on the table, followed by the family of four, all carrying sumptuous dishes.
Two twin little boys were running around Shen Ningning and Mo Lingwei.
“Go and call your grandparents, it’s time to eat!”
The Wen family treated Shen Ningning and Mo Lingwei as honored guests, and they sat next to each other. The table was full of delicacies, and the candlelight in the hall was warm. Shopkeeper Wen smiled and said: "Your Highnesses, our dishes are simple and we have a little wine. Please don't dislike it."
Mo Lingwei calmly took the wine bowl in front of Shen Ningning and brought it to him.
“These dishes are quite smoky and just what I want.” Mo Lingwei’s tone was light and his attitude was very approachable.
Shen Ningning glanced at the wine in front of him and said to Shopkeeper Wen: "I won't drink any more wine. I have to leave by water tomorrow morning. Let my brother drink with you."
Upon hearing this, Mo Lingwei suddenly frowned and hesitated.
He thought for a moment and pushed the wine bowl aside.
"Then I won't drink either. Since I have to hurry, I'm afraid that drinking will cause trouble."
Doudou was young, so he asked without thinking: "Brother, are you afraid that the princess sister will run away and you'll be too drunk to catch up?"
Shen Ningning's cheeks suddenly turned pink, and Mo Lingwei pretended to cough lightly: "That's not entirely the reason."
Doudou blinked his round eyes and said in a childish voice: "On the way back just now, I saw you holding the princess sister's hand and telling her not to run away again. You also said that you would follow her in the future so that she could not get rid of you. , so brother, you must not drink."
Doudou’s mother was so frightened that she quickly covered his mouth, and the couple apologized to Mo Lingwei in horror.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. The child is ignorant and talks nonsense. We will teach him a lesson soon."
Mo Lingwei's face had already darkened, but at this moment, Shen Ningning heard a laugh from beside him.
He turned to look at her and saw the girl's pretty face, with beautiful pink color and black eyes, looking at him without blinking.
Mo Lingwei pursed his lips immediately, and then he laughed helplessly.
“Tong Yan Wuji, I won’t blame him, not to mention, what he said is right.”
Under the table, he suddenly grabbed Shen Ningning's hand and told everyone: "Not only will I chase her this time, I will chase her no matter where she goes from now on."
Shen Ningning's smile suddenly appeared on her face, and her whole face was as hot as fire. She twitched her hand but could not take it out.
So I could only glare at Mo Lingwei secretly, and reprimanded in a low voice: "How can you be so embarrassed to speak so frankly in front of so many people!"
Mo Lingwei laughed and said, "I said it sincerely. Why are you so embarrassed?"
After Shopkeeper Wen and the others were stunned, they came back to their senses and couldn't help but laugh.
“The prince and the princess are a match made in heaven. I wish you good things to come.”
These words touched Mo Lingwei's heart. He originally said he would not drink, but because he was so happy, he picked up the wine bowl and took a sip.
Shen Ningning’s eyes widened: “Drink less!”
They have to go on their way tomorrow morning.
Mo Lingwei's thin eyes were dark, with a slight smile: "Don't worry, you won't get drunk."
A group of people were happily eating, when a knocking sound was heard from the direction of the outer door.
Shopkeeper Wen put down his chopsticks: "Strange, who could it be at this time?"
