Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 146: Drinking, Not Riding

Seeing the person who had just been calm and composed in his home, negotiating with his mother, now laughing so hard that she was completely disorganized, Ye Wu pursed his lips and tugged at her, "Don't fall down."

"Why, are you worried about me?" Gu Qingyuan teased him.

I thought he would say no, but unexpectedly, he nodded and responded.

"I'm afraid you'll fall."

Gu Qingyuan put away her smile, sat up straight, and tightened the reins in her hands again.

"Don't worry, even if I fall, I won't let you fall."

Ye Wu didn't say anything else. He felt the wind blowing towards him and inexplicably felt much better.

The two men rode their horses forward.

When Gu Qingyuan had some free time, she also touched his waist. An electric shock-like feeling came from the place where she touched, making Ye Wu's body tense up.

"Don't be like this." He turned around and looked at Gu Qingyuan.

"Okay, okay, let's find a place to eat something first."

When they arrived at a small town, Gu Qingyuan dismounted first, and then helped Ye Wu down.

Maybe it was because he suddenly relaxed from the extreme tension or because he had been hungry for too long, but when Ye Wu got off the horse, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

If Gu Qingyuan hadn't been quick to support him, he might have really fallen.

"Look, you just reminded me not to fall, but now you almost fell to the ground yourself, didn't you?"

"I... I just sat for too long and my legs are a little numb." Ye Wu defended himself.

"Okay, you're right."

After getting off the horse, Gu Qingyuan looked around, then stopped a passerby very naturally.

They hadn't left Jiangzhou yet. They had arrived at a small town between Jiangzhou and the capital. Gu Qingyuan asked a passerby, "Sister, I'd like to ask which restaurant here has the best food?"

The person she stopped was a woman with dark skin who had just finished farm work and was returning home to eat.

"You seem to be from out of town, right? We locals often eat at the Peach Blossom Spring Restaurant. The food there is pretty good."

"So that's how it is. Thank you, big sister." After politely thanking her, Gu Qingyuan planned to take people to the Peach Blossom Spring Restaurant that the woman mentioned.

The Taohuayuan Restaurant was very conspicuous, and Gu Qingyuan saw it at a glance.

She brought Ye Wu and the coachman inside. Gu Qingyuan and Ye Wu sat at one table, and the other coachmen sat at another. She waved her hand and ordered all the signature dishes.

"...We can't finish it, right?"

Ye Wu watched her order a large table of dishes, and was a little worried that it would be wasted.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Before Ye Wu understood what she meant, he saw that before all the dishes were served, she took some for herself and devoured the rest in no time.

When the waiter brought up the new dishes, he looked at the empty plates on the table and was silent for a moment.

"Excuse me, sir. Did we forget to serve you the food?"

Otherwise, why would there be several empty plates on the table?

He put the empty plate away, apologetically.

"Burp... No, we ate too fast."

The taste was indeed good, and Gu Qingyuan was very satisfied.

If she hadn't had to go riding, she might have ordered a pot of wine.

After all, don't ride when drinking, and don't drink when riding.

The waiter cleared the empty plates and hurried to the kitchen, telling them that a table of guests was starving and had almost finished their meal before all the dishes were served.

The chef stirred the wok even harder.

After dinner, Gu Qingyuan went to pay the bill. Ye Wu was worried that she didn't have much money on her.

But when he saw her generously handing over fifty taels of silver and saying, "The food in your house tastes great, I'm very satisfied, no need to give me the change for the rest," he silently complained.

spendthrift!

The group set off again, and while they were eating, the restaurant staff also fed their horses.

The horses were well fed and drank, and ran with more energy.

Ye Wu could clearly feel that their speed had increased a lot. If they continued like this, they would probably be able to return to the capital in less than two days.

The closer he got to the capital, the more nervous Ye Wu became. He only knew Gu Qingyuan, and after returning, he had to get to know the people around her. He was afraid that the people around her didn't like him.

Gu Qingyuan sat behind him and sensed that he was in a low mood. She asked him, "What are you thinking about?"

He kept shaking his head and sighing, and it was hard for her to ignore him.

After hearing her words, Ye Wu said hurriedly: "No, I wasn't thinking about anything. I was just thinking about how we're going to rest later."

They have been on the road since they came out after lunch. Ye Wu thought, they wouldn't have to keep walking at night, right?

It was already evening, and the setting sun lengthened the shadows of both people and horses.

The horse was not running as vigorously as when it first started, and it seemed a little tired.

"I remember there's an inn on the way where we can stop and rest."

Visibility was poor at night, so Gu Qingyuan was planning to take a rest before continuing his journey during the day.

On the way here, she was afraid that if she was late, Ye Wu would marry into the Wang family, so she didn't rest much on the way. Now that she was going back, she didn't need to rush and could enjoy the scenery along the way.

While the two were talking, the inn was already not far away.

When they arrived at the inn, Gu Qingyuan asked for two rooms. Ye Wu looked at her, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Gu Qingyuan moved closer to him and asked, "Why? Do you want to live with me?"

"You, you think too much." He looked away. He just thought that one room would save more money.

After checking in, Gu Qingyuan gave him the key. Their rooms were just opposite each other.

After entering the room, Gu Qingyuan asked for hot water and took a comfortable bath.

Not long after that, someone knocked on the door and said they were here to deliver dinner.

The dinner was quite rich with three dishes and one soup. After finishing the meal, Gu Qingyuan knocked on Ye Wu’s door, intending to go and see him.

Ye Wu was very alert when he heard the knock on the door and asked, "Who is it?"

"it's me."

He opened the door from the inside only after hearing Gu Qingyuan's voice. Gu Qingyuan suddenly realized that he was still wearing his wedding dress. Although he had taken off the troublesome things on his head, he still looked like he was getting married.

If he returns to the capital in this state, Gu Qingyuan's reputation for bullying men may become even more famous.

After Gu Qingyuan entered the room, Ye Wu turned around and locked the door.

"Oh, I was negligent. I'll take you clothes shopping tomorrow."

"why?"

"Why, look at yourself now... If you go back with me like this, who knows what they'll say to me."

Ye Wu looked down at himself and nodded.

"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."

Ye Wu smelled the fresh fragrance of her body after taking a bath, and his mind was dazed for a moment.

If she hadn't arrived in time, I would probably be at Wang's house now.
