Chapter 1043: 015 Asking Around Clearly (Second Update)

The moment the carriage stopped, Lin Yuan’s first reaction was that the Daughter of Cheng Family had sent someone to settle scores.

However, when she spread her arms like a mother hen protecting her chicks, the carriage curtain was deftly lifted to reveal a smiling face.

"Look at Miss Lin’s posture, ready for battle. It seems you’re not happy to see me?"

Lin Yuan was startled, then also smiled, pretending to retract her arms in a chest-expanding exercise, "How could that be? Young Master Ma is brilliant and handsome, naturally I am willing to see you every day. I had just finished eating and was exercising, haha, just exercising."

Indeed, the person was Ma Junying.

Seeing Ma Junying, Lin Wei and Xiao He enthusiastically greeted, "Mr. Ma, hello."

Ma Junying smiled and nodded as he stood up and stepped down from the carriage.

At South City School, Ma Junying would often come to help, and the children were very fond of this good-looking and mild-mannered gentleman.

Of course, except for someone.

Xiao Linshuang always remembered her brother-in-law’s teachings and unobtrusively stood in front of Lin Yuan, determined to protect her elder sister from being spirited away in his absence.

When old friends meet in a foreign place, both Lin Yuan and Ma Junying were somewhat excited.

"Does Young Master Ma also come to eat? What a coincidence to encounter you here," Lin Yuan tugged at her younger sister’s hand and, with a chuckle, pushed her aside and nodded to Ma Junying.

Xiao Linshuang secretly pouted; she didn’t think it was a coincidence at all.

Dong Qing rolled his eyes back and forth between Lin Yuan and Ma Junying until he confirmed that the handsome gentleman before him was Ma Junying, the man Xia Zheng had deemed enemy number one.

At this thought, his fighting spirit was instantly ignited. With the young master away and Lin Yi off to the military camp without having returned, he knew he needed to take on the responsibility of guarding the future Young Lady.

Ma Junying didn’t notice the hostility from the two; his eyes were full of only the smiling Lin Yuan.

"What if I say it wasn’t a coincidence, would you believe it, Miss?"

Lin Yuan blinked, wondering if he had been waiting here on purpose.

Ma Junying laughed and said, "Previously, my younger sister wrote to me, specifically mentioning that your family had also come to the Capital City. Counting the days, you should have arrived. These past few days, I’ve been waiting outside the Drunken Immortal Tower, but I didn’t expect to be delayed with a matter today and almost missed you. Fortunately, I came back in time, haha."

Ma Junying spoke casually, but Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised. Waiting every day, was he that sure of meeting her?

With that in mind, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but ask.

Ma Junying looked at her with a smile and nodded, "Of course I was certain. With your temperament, after arriving in the Capital City, you would definitely want to try the best restaurant, and Drunken Immortal Tower is currently the largest and the best in the Capital City, naturally, I was sure I would meet you."

That made sense. Lin Yuan smiled and pursed her lips; Ma Junying indeed understood her well, predicting her culinary passions would lead her here.

"You said you rushed back due to sudden matters, so you probably haven’t eaten yet, right? Why don’t we go inside, and I’ll treat you?" Since he had been waiting for her, Lin Yuan felt she should reciprocate the gesture.

Ma Junying looked up at the magnificent Drunken Immortal Tower and laughed self-mockingly, "Let’s not, I don’t have Miss Lin’s financial power to afford a meal here."

At this, Lin Yuan laughed and shook her head, "It’s not my financial power; I just got some silver from someone else. But well, spending someone else’s silver, the meal does taste uniquely delicious."

Lin Wei and Xiao He also covered their mouths and laughed, noding in agreement.

Seeing the sisters laughing so heartily, Ma Junying couldn’t help being curious, but Lin Yuan obviously didn’t give him a chance to inquire and swiftly changed the subject, "Young Master Ma, feel free to order whatever you want, don’t be shy with me."

Saying so, she turned to walk towards the Drunken Immortal Tower, but Ma Junying quickly stopped her, "Please wait, Miss Lin, I’m grateful for your kind offer, but I’ve already eaten today. Some other day, please allow me to be the host and treat you."

Since he had already eaten, Lin Yuan didn’t press the issue and smiled, "Then next time, let’s have Young Master Ma host."

Seeing her agree so readily, Ma Junying was momentarily taken aback, and then shook his head with a smile, finding himself somewhat unaccustomed to Lin Yuan’s forthrightness after several months apart.

It wasn’t a good idea to keep hovering at the entrance of Drunken Immortal Tower, and as Ma Junying intended to invite them to a nearby teahouse, Lin Yuan hadn’t yet agreed when Xiao Linshuang preemptively declined, "Elder sister, aren’t we supposed to go shopping? I heard there are many street performers in the Capital City, let’s go and have fun, shall we?"
