Chapter 110 Refuse good intentions
"Alright then, farewell!" After saying this, Su Yuning turned and left without hesitation. Her steps were firm and swift, as if she didn't want to linger for even a moment longer. This sudden action left the farm owner, Murong Hai, completely bewildered. He stood there dumbfounded, watching Su Yuning's departing figure, muttering to himself, "Why did this little girl get angry so suddenly? I don't think I said anything wrong."
Just then, Murong Hai suddenly came to his senses and realized that he couldn't let Su Yuning leave like this, so he quickly called out, "Wait a minute!" His voice was loud and urgent.
Hearing the shouts, Su Yuning stopped, but didn't turn around immediately. After a moment, she slowly turned around, looked at Murong Hai expressionlessly, and asked in a cold tone, "What is it?"
Seeing this, Murong Hai quickly stepped forward, smiling broadly as he explained, "Oh dear, don't be angry, Miss Su. I was just joking with you. Please don't take it to heart." He even scratched the back of his head, revealing a simple and honest look.
However, Su Yuning remained unmoved, responding with a cold expression, "I know." Those three simple words were devoid of any emotion.
Seeing this, Murong Hai hurriedly said, "If you need vegetable seedlings or seeds in the future, just come to me! I'll give them all to you for free, without charging a single penny!" As he spoke, he waved his hand generously, seemingly trying to express his sincerity in this way.
But Su Yuning gently shook her head, politely declining, "No need, thank you. I'd better go buy it myself." Before she finished speaking, she turned around again and strode away without even looking back, leaving Murong Hai with only her receding figure.
After Su Yuning turned and left, the farmer was furious. He punched himself hard, his heart filled with regret and resentment: "I was so stupid! My love for her is so deep, but every time I face her, I am always tongue-tied and don't know how to express my deep affection!"
Just then, the village chief's nephew happened to pass by. He walked up to the farmer with a big smile, patted him gently on the broad shoulder, and asked with concern, "Hey, brother, what's wrong with you?"
Because the farmer and the village chief's nephew were quite close friends, practically inseparable, the farmer recounted everything that had just happened to him.
After hearing the whole story, the village chief's nephew pondered for a moment, then bluntly advised, "Brother, in my opinion, you should give up the idea of pursuing Su Yuning as soon as possible. You don't know, Su Yuning's heart has long been completely occupied by Ye Beichen, and it's probably difficult for anyone else to squeeze into her tightly closed heart."
Upon hearing this, Murong Hai's eyes instantly lost their luster, becoming dull and lifeless. However, only a moment later, the light in his eyes rekindled, even more resolute than before. He bit his lip tightly and replied decisively, "I don't believe it! As long as I treat her with all my heart and unwavering sincerity, one day she will surely perceive my sincere heart and see all my good qualities!"
The village chief's nephew looked at his stubborn friend and shook his head helplessly, sighing, "Ah, you're just too obstinate. But then again, how you act ultimately depends on your own choices. All I can do is give you a heads-up." With that, he patted Murong Hai on the shoulder, turned, and slowly left.
As night fell and the city lights came on, the city's hustle and bustle was gradually swallowed by the darkness. However, in this seemingly peaceful night, a fierce argument suddenly broke out between Su Yuning and Ye Beichen.
The cause was that Ye Beichen unjustifiably suspected Su Yuning of having someone else outside.
"Ye Beichen, don't you think your thoughts are too naive and ridiculous?! How could I be that kind of person?" Su Yuning's face turned red with anger, her beautiful eyes wide open, as she angrily questioned the man in front of her whom she both loved and hated.
Ye Beichen was also consumed by rage. His eyes widened, and he roared furiously, "Hmph! I can't be sure if he's that kind of person right now, but you actually went to see other men behind my back. This is clearly a huge disrespect to our marriage!"
Hearing this, Su Yuning felt a surge of anger rush to her head. She instantly became furious and grabbed Ye Beichen's collar tightly, pulling him forward forcefully. Gritting her teeth, she demanded, "You, Ye Beichen! You dare to follow me?! What do you want?"
Faced with Su Yuning's fierce aura, Ye Beichen did not back down. He forcefully swung his arm, shaking off Su Yuning's hand that was gripping his collar, and then said with a serious face, "Don't forget, you are my wife. As your husband, I certainly have the right to know your every move and every word!"
"Ye Beichen, you are simply unreasonable!" Su Yuning trembled with anger, her voice becoming sharp with rage.
"Su Yuning, don't treat me like this. I'm only doing this for your own good. What if I run into bad people while I'm not by your side? That's why I've been following you all this way," Ye Beichen kindly replied.
However, Su Yuning was already consumed by rage and couldn't hear a single word Ye Beichen said. She trembled with anger, covering her ears tightly with her hands, as if that would completely shut out Ye Beichen's irritating voice.
Just then, the guards and Xuan Yuan Rong'er, seeing the situation was getting out of hand, rushed forward to try and calm the escalating argument down. The guards were quick-witted and grabbed Ye Beichen's arm, forcibly pulling him outside the door in an attempt to calm him down.
"Husband and wife should be of one mind and one heart; only in this way can they overcome any obstacle! Your constant bickering will surely damage your deep affection for each other in the long run. As a dignified man and the head of the family, you should have a broad mind and magnanimity. Please don't be so petty with your wife!" The guard earnestly advised Ye Beichen.
Upon hearing this, Ye Beichen was still somewhat dissatisfied, but he refused to back down easily: "I did not blame her, I was just offering a friendly reminder!" After saying that, he turned his head away and refused to look at the guard again.
"Alright, alright, young master, please stop being so stubborn. Let's set aside the question of right and wrong for now. Please calm down and think back on all the good things your wife has done for you." The guard patiently advised.
Upon hearing this, Ye Beichen finally fell silent, seemingly beginning to seriously consider what the guard had said.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Xuan Yuan Rong'er was gently comforting Su Yuning, who was still furious.
“Miss Su, please calm down. Ye Beichen may seem aloof and unapproachable on the surface, but in reality, you are the only one in his heart, and he cares about you very much! So, please don’t blame him anymore!” Xuan Yuan Rong’er said with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Su Yuning became even more furious upon hearing this, and retorted angrily, "So what if he has feelings for me? Does that give him the right to stalk me? Would I have no personal freedom left?"
"Yes, he did the wrong thing. I'll talk to him about it later, and he'll definitely correct his mistakes. You two should live a good life together," Xuan Yuan Rong'er replied.
"Alright then, go and talk to him." Su Yu's tone softened slightly, and she looked at Xuan Yuan Rong'er with her beautiful eyes, responding softly.
Xuan Yuan Rong'er nodded and turned to walk towards Ye Beichen. After a while, Ye Beichen slowly walked up to Su Yu, a hint of guilt showing on his handsome face.
"I'm sorry, Su Yu... It was all my fault before, I hope you can forgive me." Ye Beichen lowered his head slightly, his voice low and sincere.
Hearing this, the lingering anger in Su Yu's heart gradually dissipated. She looked at the man in front of her, bit her lip lightly, and finally nodded slowly, indicating that she accepted his apology.
Thus, with Xuan Yuan Rong'er's mediation, the conflict between Ye Beichen and Su Yu was finally resolved, and the two reconciled.
However, just a few days later, something unexpected happened. The plot of land that Su Yuning had carefully tended suddenly suffered a severe insect infestation for some unknown reason. Large swaths of crops were devoured beyond recognition by the pests, and it seemed that most of the harvest was about to be ruined.
When Murong Hai learned of this, he took the initiative to help catch the insects, successfully protecting the crops in Xinghua Village. Su Yuning asked in confusion, "Young Master Murong, we are not related, why are you helping me?" Murong Hai replied casually, "I am also a farmer, I understand your feelings, and I also feel sorry for the crops, so of course I will not sit idly by."
Su Yuning stood to the side, a strange emotion welling up inside her. She hadn't expected this man, who usually seemed so simple-minded, to be so persistent and earnest at this moment. After they finished, Murong Hai smiled at her, "That's great, these crops will definitely have a good harvest." Su Yuning softly said "thank you," and Murong Hai's heart immediately lit up, feeling as if he had gotten a little closer to her heart.
However, when Su Yuning returned to Ni Chang Pavilion and mentioned this to Ye Beichen, he seemed indifferent, saying, "It's just a few vegetables. If they get eaten by bugs, so be it. We can just plant new ones next year."
Tears welled in Su Yuning's eyes with anger. "Ye Beichen, how could you say such a thing?" "This is the result of the villagers' hard work. How can you give it up so easily? Even Murong Hai knows how to cherish food, but you, as a member of the Ni Chang Pavilion, treat farming with such contempt." Su Yuning turned and left in anger. Ye Beichen stood there, somewhat regretting that his words had been too hasty.
The next day, Ye Beichen went to the fields and saw Su Yuning and Murong Hai checking on the crops. A pang of jealousy rose in his heart, and he stepped forward and said, "Yuning, I was wrong yesterday. I shouldn't have said that." Su Yuning glanced at him but did not say anything.
Seeing this, Murong Hai scratched his head and said, "Young Master Ye, since you don't understand the hardships of farming, you shouldn't talk nonsense in the future." Ye Beichen's face turned bright red upon hearing this.
Just then, an old man from the village came over, smiling, and said, "You young people are all so kind-hearted. Our village is truly blessed to have you all. No matter what, it's best if everyone works together." Su Yuning smiled upon hearing this, and Ye Beichen and Murong Hai exchanged a glance and smiled as well.
"Miss Su, Young Master Ye, I would like to invite you both to have a meal together." Murong Hai extended the invitation with a smile, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"No, no, I'm already extremely grateful that you came to help us with the farm work. How could I dare to trouble you to treat me?" Su Yuning quickly waved her hand, declining repeatedly, her face full of embarrassment.
At this moment, Ye Beichen, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up: "How about I invite you this time?" His voice was deep and magnetic, carrying an undeniable firmness.
Upon hearing this, Murong Hai was taken aback at first, then chuckled and cupped his hands in greeting, readily agreeing, "In that case, I shall respectfully accept your offer!"
Seeing that Murong Hai had already said so, Su Yuning couldn't insist any further, so she nodded slightly in agreement, muttering softly, "Okay..."
So the three of them went to a nearby restaurant. As soon as they sat down, the waiter enthusiastically handed them the menu. After taking the menu, Su Yuning thought for a moment and quickly ordered the two dishes she wanted to eat—blueberry yam cake and fried peanuts.
