Chapter 621: Episode 330: It Really Happened_2
As soon as these words came out, a thought flashed through Hua Xiaomai’s head, which was to pin him down and punch him a couple of times. However, upon further reflection, she suddenly narrowed her eyes and said with a mockingly playful tone, "Hey, I say Scholar Wen, you’re not insinuating that I should give you a raise, are you?"
Wen Huaren knew she was joking and didn’t take it personally, just hanging his head in silence.
"If you ask me, this issue is actually easy to resolve."
Hua Xiaomai disliked his droopy demeanor and pursed her lips, saying, "If you want to pursue official ranks or save more money, that’s all fine, but at least with Yun’er, you ought to give her some peace of mind. She’s had enough hard knocks in life, stuck with that kind of father, not a single day of happiness, and if you also keep dragging your feet, wouldn’t that make her life even harder? As her master, I must care about my disciple’s affairs, and I have the right to. Hey, if you keep procrastinating, I’ll decide for her—it’s better to just let her marry Han Hu! He’s also a fine fellow, and he handles things with a decisive and efficient touch, much better than you!"
Wen Huaren remained silent, brooding for a while before getting up to look at the sun, and quietly went to the front hall.
...
Hua Xiaomai was quite upset by Scholar Wen’s attitude, and when she saw Meng Yuhuai in the evening, she inevitably grasped his arm and complained nonstop.
"What’s with him, having such an attitude?" she fumed, tugging on Meng Yuhuai’s arm, "In my view, Han Hu is really thousands of times better than him, but what can I do? It’s just that Yun’er has taken a fancy to that sour scholar! Luckily, the man I met wasn’t a scholar, otherwise, I would have been annoyed sick by now!"
Meng Yuhuai curled his lips into a smile, wrapping his arms around her waist, "So, do you still think us escort masters are more reliable?"
"Of course, how can that fragile Scholar Wen, who could be toppled by a mere gust of wind, compare to you?" Xiaomai nodded without a second thought.
