TLNote: Christmas special. Merry Christmas!!!

Chapter 24 A deal that couldn’t be told (1)

Chen Hui didn’t entangle for too long because they had arrived at Li residence. She followed Li Youde inside. Although, he gave people the feeling that he was very unreliable and she doesn’t know whether he would fulfill his promise, she still had the illusory sense of superiority that she had turned her luck and became the master. The whole residence looked so different. At least, it was more pleasing to the eye.

Chen Hui followed Li Youde to Chrysanthemum Yard. The whole way, he didn’t look back at her. She also didn’t care and just followed him, so much that she didn’t even glance sideways when she entered Chrysanthemum Yard.

Li Youde stooped at the door of the main room, turned and looked at her.

Chen Hui looked back innocently.

Li Youde suddenly smiled and said loudly, “Ah Da, go tell the kitchen to prepare a table of dishes.”

Ah Da took the order and left.

When Li Youde lifted the corners of his eyes, he saw an overflowing smile between Chen Hui’s eyes. He frowned unconsciously but the frown disappeared quickly. It was just that the irritability in his heart couldn’t be eliminated.

Chen Hui said, “Lord, can you also call Xiao Tiao over?” Li Youde said absentmindedly, “Ah Er, let the kitchen also sent a table of dishes to Plum Yard.”

Ah Er also took the order and quickly left.

Chen Hui couldn’t help but envy Xiao Tiao a bit. It seemed that Li Youde wanted her to eat at Chrysanthemum Yard and let Xiao Tiao eat alone in Plum Yard. She also wanted to return and eat in Plum Yard and didn’t want to stay at Li Youde’s territory…However, she didn’t dare to mention it. She knows that she still had to make some things clear to Li Youde.

Li Youde entered the room and sat on the round table outside. Chen Hui didn’t go over. She stood by the door and looked outside from time to time. She kept thinking about the meal that she didn’t have in a long time. She had been hungry for two days already. She drank enough water every day to still her hunger. Because of the extraordinary performance due to the urgent situation at the Ministry of Justice just now, she would faint if he still doesn’t give her something to eat.

The seconds and minutes passed by. Chen Hui stared at the outside while Li Youde sat quietly. Occasionally, he glanced at Chen Hui.

After a long while, he spoke, “Lady Chen, come here. I have something to ask you.”

Chen Hui looked back at him with a distressed expression, “Lord, can we talk after the meal?” She was almost starving to death. The lack of energy had reduced her thinking ability. It was too dangerous…to talk with Li Youde at this time.

“Come here.” Li Youde had a cold face.

Chen Hui moved over slowly.

Li Youde refused to let her off. He humphed once and said, “Lady Chen, do you thinking that because you have helped me once, you can ride roughshod over me? Be clear about one thing. Now, you have abandoned your maiden family. You can only rely on me in the future. If you make me unhappy, guess, what will happen to you?” As he spoke, he snorted twice as if to threaten her.

Chen Hui said, “…From Buddha becoming clay Buddha?”

Li Youde gave her a fierce glare. After seeing her pause and shiver once did he feel that his heart was a lot more comfortable. He had never encountered someone like Lady Chen who looked very scared of him but was not afraid to contradict him! What Buddha?! Doing everything possible to remind him what he had promised her in the hall of the Ministry of Justice, right?!

He knocked on the table, “Sit!”

Although, Chen Hui lacked energy, she wouldn’t mistake that Li Youde let her sit on the table. So, she sat on the round stool with her back straight. It looked like she was a bit too close to Li Youde. She moved the stool a bit a bit further away from the table to make the distance between her and Li Youde bigger.

Li Youde was too lazy to deal with her small gestures. Just as he was about to speak, he realized that her eyes fell on the pastries on the table. He snorted from the bottom of his heart. He planned to ignore that and just say what he wanted to say when he heard Chen Hui ask, “Lord, can I eat a few first?”

Looking at Chen Hui’s expectant eyes, Li Youde realized with a bit of horror that he couldn’t say anything to refuse. He coughed once to conceal his loss of composure and immediately moved away his line of sight. He slammed the table and flew into a rage out of humiliation and said, “You can’t!”

Chen Hui was taken aback and thought that perhaps the great uncle of this exasperating eunuch has come for him to get so stirred up because of such a small matter. She thought about it again. That didn’t seem to be right. This exasperating eunuch seemed to have always been so temperamental. His great uncle was probably coming every day.

• Great aunt has come is a slang in Chinese for menstruation.

She restrained her appetite and said in a straightforward manner, “Okay, lord.”

Li Youde composed himself and asked, “Did Chen Pingzhi mention today’s matter to you before?”

Chen Hui blinked and showed a hurt expression, “Lord, how can you doubt this Lady Chen so much?! If this Lady Chen knew that my father was going to harm lord, this Lady Chen would never hide it and not report to lord.”

Li Youde knew that although the woman in front of him looked exaggerated and unreal, she was telling the truth. She didn’t have to join hands with her father to play such a scene. Chen Pingzhi also didn’t have the ability to let an official of the Ministry of Justice to listen to the manipulations of him, a merchant. Moreover, if it was Wang Youcai who set this game and as long as Lady Chen followed the original plan, he would already be in jail. Wang Youcai’s goal would be achieved and she didn’t need to do anything extra.

Even if he was very clear about this, Li Youde still asked, “Then, I will ask you again, did Wang Youcai sent you to get close to me?”

Chen Hui was stunned, “…Who?” She felt that this name sounded like it was a set with Li Youde’s name.

“Have not heard about it before?”

“No,” Chen Hui said honestly.

Li Youde smiled, “Very well. I also believe that you are not sent by that bitch Wang Youcai. However, if I find out in the future that you approached me with other designs, I will make you regret being alive. Do you understand?”

Li Youde’s expression was too gloomy. Chen Hui’s heart skipped a beat and hurriedly nodded, “Under, understand!” For the sake of a mouthful of meat, shouldn’t be considered other designs, right…?

“Tell me, why did you help me and not your father,” Li Youde asked. He looked at Chen Hui’s expression and added, “Don’t say unrelated matters. I want to hear the truth, otherwise, you can roll out of here.”

Originally, Chen Hui wanted to say how loyal she was to Li Youde, but after hearing him say that, she didn’t dare to mention that and smiled at him, “Lord, I will also not keep it from you. Before, I have told you that I was unwilling for my father to send me here. My father took me as an object and gifted me away whenever he wanted. He never cared about my feelings. If I help my father today and made you fall, probably, I will be sold a second time and the future would be uncertain. However, if I help you, I think that at least I can have a foothold to stand on. I don’t have a big ambition. I only want to live comfortably. Your place is very fine.”

Li Youde was satisfied with this reason. He doesn’t believe in loyalty. He believed in benefits more. He could bring Lady Chen benefits that her father could not. So, she helped him, which made sense.

“Are you not afraid that I will go back on my promise to you?” Li Youde squinted his eyes and smiled.

Chen Hui said, “…Then, I will consider it that I am unlucky.”

Anyway, between Li Youde and Chen Pingzhi, she had to choose one. She was also helpless about having to choose someone tall between the dwarfs. If there was a handsome and rich wolfdog who is also in love with her, she would definitely not say anything further and run away with him.

“Hahaha…,” Li Youde suddenly laughed to his heart’s content. When he finished laughing, there was something different in the way he looked at Chen Hui, but he concealed it quickly and asked her, “Then, tell me, how do you want me to treat you? How to worship like Buddha?”

Hearing the main topic, Chen Hui immediately sat upright and took a peek at Li Youde’s expression. She said carefully, “Lord, my demands are not high. Three meals a day without lacking. Eat everything I want to eat and get out from time to time.”

“Done?” Li Youde looked at her with a raised eyebrow. He didn’t express an opinion.

Chen Hui said, “Done.”

Chen Hui’s face was calm, but her heart was thumping. Wasn’t this the goal for which she ‘struggled’ after time-traveling? How could she not be excited when the finishing line was almost within reach?

Li Youde remined her, “What about the two shops?”
