Chapter 439: Chapter 439 Shopkeeper Fan Chapter 439: Chapter 439 Shopkeeper Fan “Are you saying Miss Mo is too shy, or are you just jealous that she’s taking my attention away from you?” Shopkeeper Fan chuckled, he was just like an old child at heart.
Having interacted with him for some time, they had come to understand his personality.
There was no barrier between him and these young people; the conversations were always easy-going.
“Hehe…! Yes, I am jealous, Shopkeeper Fan, please, don’t look at my wife anymore, okay?” Big Bull pretended to be foolish too.
“Alright, alright, I won’t disturb your sweet nothings anymore,” Shopkeeper Fan said with a smile, standing up and then descending the stairs.
Only the two of them were left upstairs.
“What’s the big idea, driving away Shopkeeper Fan like that? You better not forget—you’re eating his food, and yet your mouth is still so sharp?” Xuexue said, her words muffled as she looked up at Big Bull while eating.
“Right, I did it on purpose to send him away. Who asked him to block the way of our sweet talk here?” Big Bull looked at Xuexue with eyes full of warmth.
“Cough cough cough…!”
Xuexue, who had been wolfing down her food, choked when met by his affectionate gaze, and coughed until her face turned red.
“Ouch! My darling, how can you be so careless?” Big Bull quickly stood up, moved behind her, gently patted her back with his left hand, while offering a cup of tea with his right, tenderly suggesting, “Honey, have a sip of water to catch your breath.”
It took her a moment to catch her breath.
“Phew, I almost choked to death,” Xuexue said, patting her chest, a look of lingering fear on her face.
“Who told you to eat so fast? It’s not like anyone is fighting you for it.”
“You still dare to say that?” Xuexue glared at him, quite annoyed—the instigator still had the nerve to make snide remarks.
“Did I say something wrong again?” Big Bull suddenly looked downcast, with a face full of pitiful woe, the image of a henpecked husband.
“Hmph!”
Not in the mood to argue, Xuexue went back to her meal. Suddenly, as if something had occurred to her, she looked up at Big Bull, “Turn around.”
“Huh?” Big Bull was completely baffled.
“No more nonsense, turn around.”
“Oh.” Although he didn’t understand the reason, Big Bull turned around obediently.
Xuexue continued eating.
After waiting for quite a while without hearing anything from her, Big Bull became curious, “Darling, why did you ask me to turn around?”
Having finally finished her meal, Xuexue took a sip of tea and delicately wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, “It’s alright now, you can turn back around.”
“Oh.”
Big Bull was very obedient and turned back to face her, his eyes widened upon seeing Xuexue finished with her meal, “Darling, you finished eating? Why didn’t you wait for me so we could eat together?”
The way he had looked at her tenderly almost choked her; she had intentionally finished eating before calling him back.
She couldn’t tell him these thoughts, as it would be too embarrassing. So, changing the topic, she said, “Doesn’t it amount to the same thing? We have plenty of time today—one person finishes, then it’s the other’s turn. Then, we can take a stroll in the market and buy some things to take back home. Just in time, the county magistrate has also left, right?”
What nonsense!
Big Bull felt helpless; why had he been so compliant to his wife’s whims, missing the chance to share lunch together? Looking back, he regretted it deeply.
After spending close to two hours over lunch, they leisurely left Xiaohe Restaurant, planning to stroll through the market to buy items they needed for home.
“This hairpin is really beautiful,” Xuexue exclaimed upon arriving at a jewelry stall, holding a hairpin and admiring it without wanting to let go.
