Chapter 458: Chapter 460: Making Him Unable to Leave Her_1

It was almost midnight when Song Xiaoyue finally saw a tall figure approaching her. Her heart almost leaped out of her chest in excitement, but nervousness rendered her unable to call out to him.

Walking with the light behind him, his face was obscured, but only a man as tall as him could be Ye Ge, right?

She felt so nervous - how should she address him?

River Gentry? Ye Ge?

It didn’t seem right to call him by his nickname River Gentry just yet, so "Ye Ge" it would have to be.

As he approached, Song Xiaoyue gathered the nerve to call out to him, but he suddenly took a couple of fast steps and arrived in front of her. He gave her a respectful bow and said, "Good day, Miss."

Song Xiaoyue was perplexed. This voice... it didn’t belong to Ye Ge.

Ye Ge’s voice was typically low, husky, and steady, but the man in front of her was not him.

It was then that the man raised his head, the dim light from the lantern illuminating his face and Song Xiaoyue could see clearly: it was Wu Yang.

"Why is it you?" Song Xiaoyue deflated, her prior excitement and tension turning into disappointment, "I asked for Ye Ge to teach me martial arts, not you. Why are you here?"

Wu Yang paused for a moment, then said, "Ye Ge sent me here. He said Miss Song wanted to learn Kung Fu for self-defence and good health. So, he asked me to come over and teach you at this time every day. Is... there a problem?"

Wu Yang wondered if Song Xiaoyue was underestimating his skills. So he added, "I’ve been learning Northern Fist since I was little, even more so when it comes to self-defence. Before coming here, I pondered on it and concluded that, Miss, since you just want to learn for self-defense, this is how you can..."

Before he could finish, Song Xiaoyue interjected, "Guard Wu, I’ve suddenly lost interest."

"Ah? Why? Actually, Miss Song doesn’t need a skilled martial artist like Ye Ge as her beginner level trainer..."

It’d be a waste of his abilities.

Song Xiaoyue made up a lie, "No, I just suddenly feel unwell. I won’t be learning tonight. You should head home first, Guard Wu. If I want to learn in the future, I’ll look for you."

Wu Yang: "..."

...

Nan Feng got up when she heard the second crowing of the rooster.

After freshening up and changing into an old dress she seldom wore, she took some money to go to the market that was two streets away.

Those who usually arrived first at the market were servants from big houses, restaurant runners, as well as women and the elderly who cooked in ordinary homes, so the street was already bustling at this early hour.

Nan Feng first went to the pork shop to buy bones, followed by a store selling dried goods for peanuts and dried tangerine peel. As chestnuts were still available, she bought some. After the shopping, she quickly returned home to stew bone soup.

Song Xiaoyue said that a woman should know how to cook so that a man can’t live without you.

It’s not that Nan Feng didn’t know how to cook, but ever since she entered the business world, she simply didn’t have the time. She reflected upon herself and felt that she hadn’t cared enough for Ye Ge. Perhaps, she thought, she should pay more attention to him in the future.

To make him unable to live without her!

While the bone soup was simmering, Nan Feng went to the backyard to check on the potatoes. Recently, those had been in Feng Gu’s care, who only watered and weeded them without fertilizing them. However, Nan Feng had taught Feng Gu to pour dung water on top as fertilizer, and now the potato plants were growing quite tall.
