Chapter 158 Buffed Luck with the Ladies (1)
After getting off the carriage and walking to the entrance of the restaurant, Wen Yantong stood still. She looked up at the decoration of the restaurant and felt that it was quite upscale.
Just as she was lost in thought, a voice suddenly came from the crowd, "Stop that thief—!"
Everyone stopped in their tracks and the scene soon became chaotic. Wen Yantong tiptoed to look in the direction of the sound, and saw a masked man pushing away from the crowd and heading towards her direction very quickly. Many people tried to stop the thief, but to no avail.
Seeing the man rushing towards her, Wen Yantong subconsciously stepped towards Chi Jingxi, for fear of blocking the thief's way.
It's just that before the man could get to her, he bumped into one of Chi Jingxi’s guards. It was a rather hard collision and the force caused him to roll into the ground, the purse in his hand was thrown into the air and fell at Wen Yantong's feet.
Before the thief could get up, he was pinned down by the guards and couldn't move. The surrounding people immediately gathered around to watch.
Chi Jingxi indifferently stated, "Send him to the authorities."
Wen Yantong bent down to pick up the purse at her feet. She weighed it in her hand and found that it was heavy and contained a lot of money.
Soon a girl with tears all over her face ran over. Her face was flushed and she was panting heavily when she stopped, probably because of the intense cardio she had just put herself through. She was trying to catch her breath while pointing at the purse in Wen Yantong’s hand.
However, Wen Yantong understood what she meant. She pushed the purse forward and asked, "Is this yours?"
The girl nodded vigorously. When she looked up at Wen Yantong, her tear-filled eyes froze for a moment.
Wen Yantong didn't realize it and simply handed her the purse. "Miss, be careful. Next time, don't bring so much money when you go out."
The girl accepted it in a daze, but still continued to stare at Wen Yantong.
Chi Jingxi said, "Let's go, time to eat."
Wen Yantong responded happily. However, just as she was about to leave, she was suddenly stopped by the girl's outstretched hand.
Chi Jingxi frowned slightly, he seemed to be losing his patience. Wen Yantong saw through his emotions, so she wanted to quickly deal with the situation at hand. Her tone was a bit cold, "Did you need something, Miss?"
The girl lowered her eyes, although there were still tears on her face, she showed a shy expression. "Gongzi, you may not know this but these coins are my father's life-saving money. If it was really stolen my father would be in great trouble, but luckily gongzi upheld justice and saved us. I thank my past three lifetimes for such gracious luck. There’s nothing I can do to return this kindness, the only thing I can promise is my body, I hope gongzi wouldn’t mind..."
Wen Yantong was dumbstruck.
Such a clichéd plot of promising one's body in repaying a debt had actually happened to her?!
The girl looked at Wen Yantong embarrassedly, "Be a wife or concubine, a cow or a horse, this girl has no complaints."
The bystanders ate this whole scene up. They cheered on the side, making strange noises and mummers; one even shouted for Wen Yantong to take this girl in as a bed warmer.
Wen Yantong was stunned, her mind had stopped working; she was stuck for words.
She was currently standing next to Chi Jingxi. How could this girl choose her?! She was a short and thin man for christ sakes! There must be some conspiracy, right?
Chi Jingxi frowned fiercely. "Sixteen!"
A guard immediately stepped forward. "This subordinate is present."
He used his chin to point at the guard who called Sixteen. "He was the one who helped you get back your purse. If you want to promise your body, then promise it to him."
The girl turned her head to look at the tall and bulky guard, but she didn’t look too interested in him. As if she was completely set on Wen Yantong, the girl continued to insist, "It was this gongzi who handed me the purse just now."
Wen Yantong subconsciously retorted, "I picked it up because it landed by my feet."
The girl replied, "This means I am destined to repay this gratitude to you, gongzi. Hoping gongzi will not refuse me again!"
Wen Yantong shook her head and took a step back. "You should hurry up and save your father."
The girl shed two lines of tears. "Gongzi, why refuse so resolutely? Even as a maid, I am willing to stay by your side."
Wen Yantong was afraid that Chi Jingxi would get bored, so she tried to end the conversation by saying, "I don't want such an ugly maid like you, I won't be able to sleep if I see you around. You'd better find another person."
Her words made the girl's face turn pale, and as if she had been hit hard, the girl took two steps back. Someone in the audience couldn't bear to watch the girl so devastated, so they shouted, "Girl, that man doesn’t have eyes! If he doesn't want you, I want you!"
Wen Yantong waved her hand, as if annoyed. "If you want her, then go have her, don't bother me."
After speaking, she grabbed Chi Jingxi's hand and pulled him into the restaurant.
Chi Jingxi's face remained frosty. He glanced at the man who said Wen Yantong didn’t have eyes and silently signaled a guard beside him.
The girl held her purse and wanted to stop Wen Yantong again, but the guard beside her stood in front of her and said coldly, "If you don't leave now, there shall be dire consequences."
Wen Yantong was baffled to hear the girl's loud cries behind her. However, she didn't look back, nor did her movements hesitate as she continued to pull Chi Jingxi into the restaurant.
That event happened so suddenly, without any warning at all. What made matters stranger was that the girl was adamant on her and not the handsome and tall Chi Jingxi standing beside her.
Chi Jingxi was still in an unhappy mood, Wen Yantong guessed it was because of that girl just now.
Without much choice, Wen Yantong took the initiative to appease the situation. "This place is so strange, to meet such people in broad daylight."
Chi Jingxi stated in a deep voice, "That woman may have other impure motives."
"Maybe she saw all the guards following us. We’re also wearing luxurious clothing, so that girl might have wanted to cheat us of some money?"
Chi Jingxi gave her a look but didn’t respond to her speculations.
Wen Yantong continued to guess, "Maybe she picked me to cling on to because you look very difficult to deal with. She could have promised herself to me because I look easy to bully?"
After coming to this revelation, she then angrily added, "I don’t want such a repulsive and ugly person!"
Chi Jingxi asked, "Then what’s considered not ‘repulsive and ugly’?"
In all fairness, that girl just now looked delicate and pretty, although she was not considered beautiful, but it wasn’t to the point of ‘repulsive and ugly’.
Wen Yantong replied without batting an eyelid, "Naturally, someone like Little Marquis. Breathtaking at first glance, and becoming better-looking the more they continued to look."
There was no change in Chi Jingxi's expression. Wen Yantong had praised him too often, so he had probably become immune to her bootlicking.
But then Wen Yantong added, "But I have a feeling there isn’t another person like you, Little Marquis, in the whole of Shao Jing. You are one of a kind."
Chi Jingxi caved in, the corners of his mouth curled up, and his frown turned into a handsome smile. "Glib."
When Wen Yantong saw him smile, she unconsciously followed suit, "These are all heartfelt words."
