Chapter 1393: A small inn on the border
The bearded man placed his hands firmly on Shi Li's waist. Before he could say anything, Shi Li rebuked him.
"Why are you taking so long to come back?"
"Why are you so unkempt? You don't look good at all!"
The bearded man was, of course, Xuanyuan Lin, who had traveled day and night from the distant southern border.
He knew from the letters that so many "distinguished guests" had come to the inn. Even though Yuan Shang and Xu Su were watching over the inn, he was still worried. After getting the red ginger, he rushed back without stopping for a moment.
Listening to Shi Li's complaints, Xuanyuan Lin laughed heartily.
"Of course it was because I couldn't wait to come back to find my little wife. Who would have thought that my little wife actually despised me for being ugly? It's really unreasonable!"
Now the term "young wife" has become Xuanyuan Lin's catchphrase. Shi Li has heard it so many times that she is almost immune to it.
But this was not the case for other people at the scene.
Yuan Shang went down the stairs even slower than Shi Li this time. When he was halfway there, he stood on the stairs and saw this obscene scene. He covered his eyes in dismay.
Now that his elder brother is back, he can finally put down the heavy stone in his heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't even dare to sleep, for fear that the boss's wife would lose a few hairs.
Xu Su came to Shi Li with some freshly cut fruits to show her treasure. Seeing this, she looked unhappy and muttered with her head down, "You came back so quickly. I can't get close to Li Li casually anymore."
If Xu Su had a live broadcast room, she would definitely shout in the room all day long: Who understands my family! My boss is jealous of me and guards against me like a thief!
As for the others, they looked confused.
Especially Zhou Lingyu and Zhou Heng, their faces were filled with absurdity that was almost overflowing.
They used to be the favorites of noble ladies from major families in the imperial city, but after coming to such a small place, they were not welcomed by the owner of an inn.
That would be fine, but now a "savage" appears out of nowhere and makes the boss lady so enthusiastic towards him. It's such a waste of talent!
As for the last few Japanese people, no one knew what was going on in their heads, and they vaguely revealed some lewd smiles.
As soon as he spoke, Xuanyuan Lin gave him a cold glance.
They themselves couldn't explain why, they just felt a chill in an instant and immediately stopped smiling.
"Who thinks you're ugly? I think you're dirty!"
Shi Li's mind and eyes were now completely focused on the man in front of her. She didn't care about anyone else at all. She took his hand and led him to the second floor, and even pulled him directly into her bedroom without any concealment.
This unrestrained action once again shocked the people outside.
Although I heard that the customs of the people in this border area are open-minded, isn't it too unrestrained to directly pull a man into the house?
After a while, Zhou Heng barely found his voice and was even more surprised to see Yuan Shang was still there.
He had been secretly observing these days and found that Yuan Shang was like the boss lady's tail, following her wherever she went. He thought there was some relationship between him and the boss lady.
Now it seems that something is still wrong.
"Who is that..." After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Heng walked to Yuan Shang and tested him quietly.
Yuan Shang still folded his arms, looked at him with a half-smile, and asked frankly: "Have you ever thought about how the title of boss lady came about?"
Zhou Han: ???
After a moment, his eyes widened in shock, "You mean... that person just now was the boss?!"
Yuan Shang glanced at him and felt that this guy was not too stupid after all.
If there is a proprietress in the inn, there must be a boss. Is this a hard-to-understand principle? He also didn't know what the others were shocked about...
After entering her room, Shi Li hugged Xuanyuan Lin tightly again, "Brother, I missed you so much."
Xuanyuan Lin's heart softened when he heard the delicate voice. He raised his hand and touched the girl's black hair, then lowered his eyes and looked at her with extreme tenderness.
"From now on, wherever I go, I will take you with me, and we will never be separated again."
"Really?"
Shi Li didn't expect such a good thing to happen, she looked up and asked in surprise.
Xuanyuan Lin certainly wouldn't lie to her, he nodded with a smile and explained softly: "Before that, we have to do one more thing."
