Chapter 163
Su Mo watched Wu Ying's departing figure and felt a little sad.
Now, she only hoped that he would be safe and sound.
"Young Master, what are your plans next? Are you going back to Medical Poison Valley?" Yuan Zhan asked.
Xiao Zimo looked at Xiao Han and shook his head, "I'm not going back for now. I plan to go to Lan City with Hanhan."
Yuan Zhan knelt on one knee, cupping his fist towards Xiao Zimo, "Young Master, I can no longer accompany you from now on. Please take good care of yourself!"
Liu Yan also knelt in front of Xiao Zimo, "Master Xiao, thank you."
"What are you guys doing? Get up!"
"That's right, you can't just kneel down so easily!" Xiao Han quickly helped Liu Yan up, "Liu Yan, if Yuan Zhan dares to bully you in the future, you must tell Xiao Zimo!"
Liu Yan lowered her head slightly, a little shy, "He won't bully me..."
"Miss Xiao can rest assured, I cherish her so much, how could I possibly bully her?" Yuan Zhan said with a smile.
Liu Yan pulled Yuan Zhan's sleeve, "Stop talking..."
Xiao Zimo said to Yuan Zhan, "Yuan Zhan, if you need anything, please come find me."
"Yes, Young Master! I hope you and Miss Xiao have a son soon!" Yuan Zhan did not know about Xiao Han's background, so he naturally did not know that Xiao Han was going to leave.
When Xiao Zimo heard this, he looked at Xiao Han and smiled, "Alright, I'll take your auspicious words."
Xiao Han glared at Xiao Zimo, but did not say anything more.
Just like that, everyone packed up and prepared to leave Lianhua Village.
Xiao Han had wanted to ask Xiao Zimo something all along, but didn't get a chance to ask because there were too many people around.
She went into the wedding room from last night and saw Xiao Zimo packing up.
"Um... Xiao Zimo, I want to ask you something!" Xiao Han leaned against the table and looked at Xiao Zimo. "Hanhan, we're already married, you should call me husband." Xiao Zimo said this bluntly.
"..." Xiao Han crossed her arms and retorted, "But I haven't heard you call me wife!"
When Xiao Zimo heard this, he pushed his wheelchair over to her and said seriously, "Wife, what do you want to ask? Feel free."
Xiao Han shuddered, with a disgusted expression, "Xiao Zimo, can you not be so cheesy?"
"Then... what do you want me to call you?" Xiao Zimo looked innocent.
"Just call me by name!" Xiao Han waved her hand, "I just want to ask... did we not do anything last night?"
Xiao Zimo unconsciously curved his lips and deliberately asked, "That... don't you remember?"
"I... remember some things, but... not everything! Hehe..." Xiao Han laughed and looked at him, "I think you're such a gentleman, you shouldn't be the kind of person who would take advantage of others, right?"
"Then I want to ask, what counts as taking advantage of others?" Xiao Zimo asked back, "Hanhan, you're my wife."
"That's true, but you said you wouldn't force me to consummate the marriage!" Xiao Han retorted uncompromisingly.
"But I didn't force you to consummate the marriage."
"Then who took my clothes off last night?!" Xiao Han put her hands on her hips, glaring at him dissatisfiedly.
"Don't you remember taking them off yourself?"
"..."
Xiao Han did remember some things, but she couldn't figure out what was a dream and what was real, especially... Xiao Zimo hugging her tightly and kissing her hard, and... touching places he shouldn't have touched.
So was this part real or just a dream?
Xiao Han looked at Xiao Zimo suspiciously. He looked innocent and pure, as if nothing had really happened.
"Oh forget it, just pretend it was a dream!" Xiao Han picked up the package on the table, "Let's go!"
Xiao Han turned and left the room. Xiao Zimo unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth and followed her out.
Everyone packed up and bid farewell to Xiao Lao, Liu Yan, Yuan Zhan, and the villagers of Lianhua Village before setting off on their journey.
It was very far from here to Lan City. With so many people, they estimated it would take more than ten days to reach Lan City.
The weather was gradually turning cooler, and the rain was increasing. They walked and took breaks along the way, not rushing on rainy days.
When they arrived in Lan City, it was already half a month later, at dusk.
The group went directly to the Four Beauties Pavilion.
The Four Beauties Pavilion was bustling with business and very lively.
Yu Jiaojiao and Yu Yifan were extremely busy.
Seeing so many people suddenly entering the store, Yu Yifan thought they were customers. But when he looked closely, he realized it was Su Mo and the others.
"Master, it's you guys? You're back?" Yu Yifan ran over excitedly.
"Yu Yifan, it seems like you and your sister have been running the Four Beauties Pavilion very well during the time we were away?" Su Mo smiled.
"Hehe, it's all thanks to my sister's hard work! I'm just helping out!"
"You've done well!"
"Master, hurry upstairs and rest! My sister is upstairs!"
Everyone went upstairs to a private room on the second floor. Yu Jiaojiao was also very happy to see them back.
She had already shed the aura of a courtesan, and now looked more like a steady boss lady.
"Here are the expenses and revenues of the Four Beauties Pavilion during this period. I've recorded everything in the account book. You can go over it." Yu Jiaojiao quickly brought out the account books from this period.
"No need." Sang Li stopped her and smiled at her, "Miss Yu, we all trust you. You've been running the Four Beauties Pavilion very well."
"If it weren't for you ladies' help, how could I have the freedom I have today? You are the rebirth parents of me and Yifan."
"You make it sound so serious!" Xiao Han laughed, "If you're really grateful to us, how about arranging for us to have dinner at the restaurant? I'm starving!"
"Alright, I'll go arrange it right away!"
...
They didn't expect to run into Bai Yunhan at the restaurant.
Bai Yunhan also seemed to be treating people to dinner here, and was a bit surprised to see them.
"Sister Li, I heard Bai Yunhan is engaged to the young lady of the Chu family." Yu Yifan whispered over.
"It's been a while, ladies." Bai Yunhan spoke first.
"It's been a while."
"Young Master, the Chu family people have arrived." At this moment, Fang Qing happened to come over.
"Brother Fang, long time no see!" Xiao Han smiled and waved at Fang Qing.
Xiao Zimo unconsciously looked towards Fang Qing.
Fang Qing was also surprised to see them, "Miss Xiao, when did you guys come back?"
"Just got back today!"
"Why don't we go in and dine together?" Bai Yunhan suddenly invited.
"Let's decline. There are so many of us, it would be inappropriate to intrude. Young Master Bai, if you'd like to treat us, wait until your wedding day. We will definitely come to drink your wedding toast." Sang Li politely declined.
Bai Yunhan smiled gently, "Alright, I'll definitely invite you to drink my wedding wine then."
