Chapter 204 Husband? I am Lu Huaijin
"Ms. Liu, you heard me right. Do you want to leave on your own or do you want me to ask someone to ask you to leave?!" the shopkeeper said with a smile.
Liu Meng and Su Yanyan stood there for a long time without moving, so the shopkeeper had to ask someone to take action. Liu Meng confirmed again: "Shopkeeper, are you sure you want to offend our Liu family because of these two people?"
The people around were talking about it. No one knew where these two people came from, but they could make the treasure shop owner offend the Liu family and drive the young lady out...
"Miss, this is an order from above. I'm just a small shopkeeper and can't make the decision. Please go in." The shopkeeper made a gesture of invitation.
"Hmph! It's just a jewelry shop, just leave if you want, who cares! I wouldn't come even if you begged me! No one from the Liu family will come to your shabby shop again!" Liu Meng deliberately raised her voice and said harsh words so that everyone could hear that she was not being kicked out, but that no one from the Liu family would patronize the shop again. Then she took Su Yanyan out of the shop in a rage.
After the people left, the shop resumed normal operations. Just when Yao Qingnian was wondering, the shopkeeper said, "Miss, I wonder if you could move upstairs. Someone wants to see you."
"Me? Who?" Yao Qingnian was confused.
"You will know when you go there! Please!" The shopkeeper made a gesture of invitation.
Yao Qingnian thought that this man must have something to do with throwing Su Yanyan and the other person out just now, so he walked upstairs.
Han Junze was about to go up with Yao Qingnian when he was stopped by the shopkeeper: "Sir, please wait a moment."
"This is my master. No, I must follow her. Otherwise, what if you do something bad to her?" Han Junze was very unhappy about being stopped. Who did he want his master to meet in person and not let him follow.
"Han Junze, just wait for me here. I'll be back soon to see what's going on."
"Okay then, if you need anything just let me know and I'll be there right away." Han Junze had no choice but to sit in the hall and wait for Yao Qingnian.
The shopkeeper took Yao Qingnian to the private room on the second floor: "Miss, please come in."
When Yao Qingnian stepped in, he saw a tall man standing in front of the window with his back to him, looking into the distance.
"who are you?"
The man turned around slowly, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised an arc: "White Bone Spirit, how are you?"
"It's you, haha! Why are you here?" Yao Qingnian found it a little funny when she saw the elegant man in front of her actually called her White Bone Demon.
"I happened to be talking to a friend here and heard the noise outside, so I asked the shopkeeper to help me." Lu Huaijin said calmly, but in fact he was already panicking. Is this really his wife? Will there be another misunderstanding like last time?
"So that's how it is. Well, I owe you another favor. Thank you!" Yao Qingnian was a little embarrassed for a moment. She picked up the tea in the cup on the table and started drinking it. Before Lu Huaijin could stop her, she finished the tea in one gulp.
She drank from her own cup. Lu Huaijin was a bit of a germaphobe, but when he thought that it was his wife who drank from it, he felt inexplicably happy.
"Yao Qingnian?"
Yao Qingnian's heart skipped a beat. How did this man know her name? She should be more cautious when going out.
"Haha, you got the wrong person, my name is not..."
"I'm Lu Huaijin."
Lu... Huai Jin? Yao Qingnian's CPU froze for a while before she recovered. Wasn't this the name of her husband whom she had never met? Her brain was a little stuck for a moment. Was the man in front of her with sword-like eyebrows and majestic eyes her husband?
"You...what can you prove that you are Lu Huaijin?"
Yao Qingnian didn't quite believe that the man in front of her was her cheap husband. Was he trying to deceive herself? She searched her mind for Lu Huaijin's appearance, but she really had no memory of him at all. Only the statue carved by Lu Mingchuan seemed... somewhat similar?
"My father is Lu Mingchuan, my mother is Liu Shuyue, and my sister is Lu Qiuju. By the way, I went home first, and they told me that we have another son, Lu Yinuo..."
Lu Huaijin almost said the names of all the villagers, and even some family details, such as the pear tree in the yard and the time of their marriage, all matched one by one. So, if this man was not so scary as to investigate her ancestors for eighteen generations, then the man in front of her was definitely Lu Huaijin.
"........"
Yao Qingnian felt a little happy and a little depressed.
What makes me happy is that this man is good-looking and I have a good impression of him. But what makes me depressed is that now that this man is back, it will not be so convenient for me to do things in the future.
Yao Qingnian was thinking when Lu Huaijin came close to her. She quickly backed away to the wall: "You...what are you doing!"
As a novice in love, Yao Qingnian was actually a little overwhelmed when faced with this situation.
Lu Huaijin put one hand on the wall and brought the two of them closer, so close that they could feel each other's breath. He stopped and smiled, "Now you believe that I am your husband, right?"
Yao Qingnian: "How did you recognize me?"
"I just found out from listening to your conversation."
"I guess you don't remember me at all. If I hadn't heard my name and Anding County, you wouldn't have recognized me!"
"Same here, last night I heard someone praising her husband for being so handsome..."
Lu Huaijin was very unhappy last night. Now it’s a bit funny to think about it. It turns out that he was just jealous of himself.
"Ghost market last night? You were there too?"
"Yeah. I happened to hear you rejecting someone."
Oh, he had heard all my nonsense and even said my name was the White Bone Demon. I thought he had improper thoughts about me. I was so embarrassed.
Until now, Lu Huaijin truly believed that the woman in front of him was his wife. Over the years, many unexpected things had happened to him.
On the way home after the war, he was still thinking that life at home must be very difficult. When he was around, they could make a living by hunting, but after he left, only his parents and his new wife were left. Not only was the house penniless, but his parents must be pale and thin, and his wife couldn't stand the hard life and ran away.
In recent years, the imperial court has been fighting wars everywhere, and it is common to have a shortage of food and fodder, not to mention military pay. Farmers are subject to heavy taxes and harsh conditions, and it is common for people to starve to death.
So he couldn't wait to go home, so that they wouldn't have to suffer anymore if he came back.
Unexpectedly, when he returned home, his parents were in good health and a large brick and tile house was built at home. All the credit went to the woman in front of him.
His memory still lingers on the vague memory of their wedding night, when Yao Qingnian wore a bright red wedding dress with fair skin and red lips.
On the way back, when he met Yao Qingnian for the first time, he felt a sense of familiarity yet strangeness. However, her words, actions, temperament and dress were completely unlike those of a village woman. Now, looking at Yao Qingnian in front of him, slowly, the face in his memory overlapped...
