Chapter 547: Chapter 549 Xue Ling’s Man (3)_1

"It tastes really good," said Yu Peng, but his eyes were fixed on Xue Ling, observing her reaction.

He was always afraid of Xue Ling getting angry.

There was no expression on Xue Ling’s face. It seemed she was really displeased. Then she called the waiter over: "Stir-fry another dish of beef, don’t add any chili."

"Sure."

That beef was presumably for Yu Peng.

Xiaoqing was laughing while eating: "See, Xue Ling is concerned."

"Concerned for what?" Xue Ling stood up and playfully knocked Xiaoqing with her chopsticks.

"She’s concerned for your man Yu Peng, afraid he can’t handle the spiciness."

Xue Ling rolled her eyes at Xiaoqing.

On the other hand, Yu Peng was smiling at Xue Ling, he must be really touched.

Nan Feng quickly instructed: "Everyone, hurry up and eat, let’s eat!"

...

After the meal, everyone left the restaurant. There was an inn nearby and Xue Ling pointed towards it, telling Yu Peng, "You can sleep there tonight, I’m going back with the girls."

"Alright, then..." Yu Peng probably wanted to suggest breakfast together the next morning.

"We will be busy tomorrow and won’t have time for you. Wait for me in the county when I return!" Xue Ling quickly interrupted Yu Peng.

Yu Peng had to comply with Xue Ling’s decision: "Then... I won’t walk you girls home."

"Don’t worry, Nan Feng and I both know Martial Arts, and with this tomboy here, we can protect ourselves," Saying that, Xue Ling then said to Nan Feng and the others, "Let’s go, let’s return."

Xue Ling was the first one to turn around and leave. Seeing her gone, Nan Feng and others had no choice but to follow. After walking a long distance, Nan Feng turned around, seeing Yu Peng still standing at the restaurant entrance, looking at Xue Ling.

Nan Feng couldn’t help but nudge Xue Ling: "Xue Ling, Yu Peng is still looking at you."

Only then did Xue Ling turn around and glance back, she saw that, indeed, Yu Peng was still standing there, his silhouette looking lonely under the lamplight.

But Xue Ling quickly turned back and said dismissively: "Whatever."

Xiaoqing commented on the side: "Xue Ling, why are you so cold towards Yu Peng? I think he’s quite decent. He was surrounded by beautiful ladies at dinner, but his eyes kept wandering to you, none of us seemed to catch his attention."

"You’re just a tomboy, what would you understand?" Xue Ling replied.

"What a hurtful thing to say. But I don’t mind, I forgive you," Xiaoqing continued, "It’s like how Elder Ye behaves towards our Sister Nan Feng. No one else seems to catch his eye when Sister Nan Feng is around. He just stares at her."

Nan Feng smiled: "Unfortunately, it seems Xue Ling isn’t too keen on him. But I do feel that Yu Peng truly cares about Xue Ling. You should perhaps consider being a little more thoughtful, and give more opportunities to get along better. Especially considering he’s quite generous when paying, not minding how much we eat."

Even Xiaolun chimed in: "Yes, my grandma always says, find a husband who’s willing to spend money on you."

Xue Ling, tired of their chatter, said, "You all are so annoying."

Then, there was silence.

Upon arriving at Spikenard Square, everyone returned to their rooms. Currently, Xiaoqing, Xiaolun, and Xue Ling were sharing a room. As for Nan Feng, she had a room to herself since she and Ye are officially married now, and Nan Feng’s room was reserved for him.

However, perhaps due to the fact that they’re more girls living there, and Ye often had night shifts, he only occasionally stayed over.
