Jing Chen's expression was normal. His eyes paused at Su Chenyu, but he quickly looked away.
Qibao gave a piece of warm cake to Zhi'er and Yaya respectively.
Yaya took a big bite, narrowed her eyes, and said with a look of enjoyment: "Miss, it's so sweet, soft and delicious!"
Zhi'er also nodded quickly to show his agreement.
Qibao said: "Well, eat slowly, don't choke."
The two little rascals nodded their heads and smiled.
Yaya broke the cake in half after taking two bites of it, and took out the handkerchief from her pocket to wrap it up.
Qibao asked curiously: "Yaya, why did you wrap up this half piece? Don't you want to eat it?"
Yaya raised her head and smiled: "Miss, this is what I left for my mother. My mother helps me wash clothes every day. It's very hard. I want to give it to my mother to have a taste."
Qibao smiled and said: "Be good, there are still a few pieces left, you eat first!"
Yaya said: "Miss, Granny Jin, Granny Yin, and Sister Fuqiu haven't had any of the remaining pieces yet! Yaya will only have half."
Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Yin love her so much. This little girl is so sensible.
Qibao said: "It's okay. I'll ask Granny Jin and Granny Yin to do some more later."
Yaya smiled and replied: "Okay."
Mrs. Jin said: "Miss, you can go rest. I've almost finished looking through everything. Once I'm done, I'll send it to the front hall.
Qibao nodded and led the group out of the kitchen.
In the afternoon, Manager Tong from Zuixianlou came to Xu's house and handed Su Chenyu a letter.
Su Chenyu took the letter, raised his eyebrows and said to himself: "Grandpa, why did he write me a letter..." He opened the envelope...
After a while, Su Chenyu sighed and said: "Looks like I have to go back to the capital. Sigh!
Jing Chen asked: "What happened?"
Su Chenyu said: "The letter said that General Cui was worried about Fatty being out for so long, so my grandfather wanted me to bring her back to the capital. So where did Fatty go?"
So Qibao ordered Fuqiu to bring Cui Cancan over.
Su Chenyu said: "I finally found some time to come out and play, but now I have to go back so soon. Cousin, do you want to go back with me?"
Jing Chen paused, thought for a moment and said: "Then let's go back together." It just so happened that he had been out for long enough, and there were still things in the capital that needed him to go back and deal with.
As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Cancan walked in.
"Fatty, your father misses you and asked me to send you back!" Su Chenyu said.
Cui Cancan was stunned for a moment after hearing this and asked: "Is this a letter written by my father?"
"No, you came here with me after all, so I will definitely be responsible for your safety. Pack up, we will go tomorrow!" Su Chenyu said.
Cui Cancan hesitated and asked: "Can I...can I not go back?"
Su Chenyu was stunned when she heard this and asked: "You're not going back? Do you want your father to come to my house every day to ask for you?"
Cui Cancan quickly waved her hands and replied: "No, Brother Chengyu, if you go back, I'll write a letter later and you can take it to my father, then he won't give you a hard time."
Su Chenyu said in disbelief: "Are you saying that even if I go back, you won't go back? Fatty, have you become more confident?"
Cui Cancan explained: "That's not what I meant. I want to surprise my father. Once I lose a little more weight, I'll go back."
Su Chenyu looked Cui Cancan up and down and said: "Your father is used to seeing you, and he won't care about your fat body. You'd better come back to the capital with me. Otherwise, if something happens, don't look for me!"
Cui Cancan said disappointedly: "No, this is my own decision. It has nothing to do with Brother Chenyu. Qibao, can I continue to stay here?"
Qibao nodded and said: "Of course, you can make your own decision."
Cui Cancan said: "Thank you, but I won't eat and live for free, I will pay for it."
Su Chenyu said with a sigh: "You said it yourself. Didn't you used to stick to me like glue? Why? Have you changed your ways now? You can't possibly think that I'll fall for you just because you're acting like this, can you?"
Cui Cancan smiled bitterly and said: "No, Brother Chenyu, you don't have to think too much. I'm very happy in Xujia Village. I've thought a lot during this period. When I go back, I'll tell my father that the bet between him and Grandpa Su is void."
After Cui Cancan said this, she felt a little pain in her heart, but she did not regret it.
Su Chenyu rubbed his ears and asked in surprise: "Are you serious? You won't force me to marry you again, right?"
Cui Cancan nodded but said nothing.
Su Chenyu felt a little uncomfortable for a moment and said: "Okay, you said it. Since you insist on staying here, we will leave tomorrow."
Cui Cancan nodded and said: "I'm going to write a letter." After saying that, she left.
Su Chenyu watched her leave, feeling a bit suspicious. Could it be that this chubby girl wouldn't bother him anymore?
Qibao smiled and said: "Brother Su, don't worry, Sister Cancan is at our house, nothing will happen to her, you don't have to worry."
Su Chenyu rolled his eyes and said: "Me worry about her? If it weren't for her grandfather's kindness to my grandfather, I wouldn't care what happened to her."
Qibao shook her head and smiled. Su Chenyu was a stubborn person. He felt that Cui Cancan was no longer clinging to him like before, so he felt a little disappointed.
Su Chenyu said: "I'll go back to my room and pack up. I'll leave early tomorrow morning. Shopkeeper Tong, if you don't have anything else to do, go back."
Shopkeeper Tong bowed and replied: "Okay, sir, I'll go back right away. Girl, I'm leaving. When your grandfather comes back, tell him to go to Zuixianlou and have a drink with me if he's free."
Qibao nodded and said: "Grandpa Tong, I have two jars of fruit wine. Take them home and drink them slowly."
Shopkeeper Tong was delighted, looked at his master, hesitated and did not answer.
Su Chenyu pursed his lips and said: "Here, take it! You've never been this polite when I wasn't around."
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Tong chuckled and said: "It's because Xu's food is delicious, I just want to have a taste of it."
Su Chengyu waved his hand and said: "All right, hurry back to town!"
"Yes!"
Shopkeeper Tong happily left with two jars of wine.
After a while, Cui Cancan came out of the room and handed an envelope to Su Chenyu and said: "Brother Chenyu, thank you for your help."
Su Chenyu took the letter, nodded, and walked towards his room.
Cui Cancan looked at Su Chenyu's back and smiled bitterly.
Qibao patted her and said: "Just meet the best version of yourself. If you bloom, butterflies will come to you. Maybe you will meet someone who is more suitable for you than Su Chenyu in the future."
Cui Cancan replied: "Thank you, Qibao. How can I forget someone I've loved for so many years? But I'm willing to let go and not force it anymore. Maybe he will meet a girl he likes in the future, but that person won't be me."
Qibao didn't say anything. She didn't know what it felt like to like someone, so she didn't know how to comfort Cui Cancan.
Cui Cancan suddenly smiled and said: "Qibao, there is actually another reason why I stayed here. I don't want to attract unnecessary ridicule. If those young ladies or young masters in the capital knew that I was running and sweating profusely every day and had no ladylike image at all, I'm afraid they would mock me severely again! I don't want my father to be criticized by outsiders because of me."
