Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 93 Preparing to Build a Greenhouse (5)
"Miss, the butler has arrived," Yingsu said, and the butler’s silhouette appeared in the hall.
"Miss, I have already tallied up everyone from Luo Family Village," he said, pulling out a booklet crammed with names.
"Mm, find an accountant as soon as possible. I’ll make a trip to the town this afternoon," Feng Xuxu thought it better to hastily procure an accountant to spare the butler the back-and-forth.
In the afternoon, Feng Xuxu led Yingsu and Baihe in a carriage to the town. She intended to look for an agent from Wang clan, but en route, Feng Xuxu was kidnapped.
Xiao Residence. This was Feng Xuxu’s second visit to the estate. Unlike the previous time, the two of them strolled shoulder-to-shoulder around the residence.
"How can a woman go to town without even a whisper? If Di An hadn’t keenly spotted the two of you, I reckon you wouldn’t have come up to my place," he said, moving forward to grasp Little Xuxu’s hand, holding it tightly in his own.
With her cheeks blushing fiercely, Feng Xuxu stole glances to ensure no one was nearby before whispering to Xiao Chen, "Hey, let go. People will scold me if they see us," in these times, even holding hands before marriage could invite scolding. Even those married would not dare to do so openly, such was the plight of ancient women.
"If they dare to speak, I don’t mind decimating their entire clan," Xiao Chen said with a faint smile on his face, yet his eyes seethed with ruthless intensity.
"Alright, let’s mind our business and ignore them. Don’t let their words affect us," Feng Xuxu didn’t like such hate-filled eyes and wondered what Xiao Chen had gone through in the past. With heartfelt pity, she clasped back his hand.
Feeling the warmth from Little Xuxu’s hand, a wave of warmth surged through Xiao Chen’s heart, and a tender smile crossed his face, "Don’t worry, I’m fine."
Feng Xuxu smiled at Xiao Chen, and they continued their silent stroll through the small courtyard, "Woman, why have you come to town? If there’s something you need, just say so; it’s not like they’re here just to eat for free."
Listening to his constant referral to her as "woman," Feng Xuxu couldn’t help but cringe, "Can you not call me ’woman?’ I’m still young." She pouted, protesting unhappily.
Xiao Chen watched Feng Xuxu’s childish pouting, finding it increasingly adorable. "Okay, I’ll call you ’treasure’ then," he thought the word ’treasure’ was particularly fitting. Delighted, he decided to nickname his beloved woman ’Treasure.’
Feng Xuxu looked up at the sky speechlessly, "What is this? No sooner had you stopped calling me ’woman’ than you started calling me ’treasure.’ Do you have more shocking names to throw at me?"
"Then it will be Little Xuxu, and it can’t be changed again," Xiao Chen declared dominantly.
Caw, caw, caw—the crows flew by, dropping down... a bunch of duck feathers.
"Alright then," Feng Xuxu agreed with resignation.
"That’s more like it," Xiao Chen said, planting a peck on Feng Xuxu’s tender little cheek, then swiftly stood up to leave, afraid he couldn’t restrain himself from hurting the woman he loved.
"Xiao Chen..." "Chen." Before Feng Xuxu could finish speaking, Xiao Chen abruptly interjected with ’Chen.’
Feng Xuxu blinked, smiling lightly, what an obstinate beauty, "Xiao Chenchen..." she teased, elongating the note to tease the beautiful man beside her.
Xiao Chen twitched his ear, lips involuntarily twitching, "Xiao Chenchen, what’s wrong with you? Got a cramp? Want me to help you?" Feng Xuxu playfully mischieved against Xiao Chen.
"If you keep this up, I will have to..." Xiao Chen had barely started when Feng Xuxu quickly and obediently called out "Chen" from her side.
"Good girl, speak up," he said, holding her hand with satisfaction and nodding.
Being treated like a child, yet called ’good’! "I came to the town this time to buy an accountant to take back. I just don’t know if there’s one available from agent of the Wang clan."
