Chapter 502 - 500: Very Bad
By the end, Wang Yongzhu felt she had nothing left to lose, so she closed her eyes and muttered, "What an annoying man, so bad!" Then she just let him be.
All the way to the entrance of the village, sweet nothings and tender murmurs between them, it wasn’t until they were near the village entrance that Wang Yongzhu pushed Song Chongjin away, lifted the curtain, and sat inside the carriage. She needed to tidy up her hair and clothes, otherwise people might see and think something had happened between them.
Although Song Chongjin was reluctant to part, having just tasted sweetness, he wished he could keep Yongzhu in his pocket and never be apart for a moment.
But he also knew that gossip was fearsome; although the two of them were engaged, talking and occasionally holding hands was fine, anything more intimate, and they would become the subject of gossip.
Yongzhu was the apple of his eye, how could he allow her reputation to be tarnished because of him?
So he could only whisper hoarsely, "Don’t rush, I’ll drive the horse cart slowly..."
"Shut your mouth!" Wang Yongzhu burst out in frustration.
Song Chongjin knew Yongzhu was just shy, and he chuckled, his eyes filled with tender affection that he couldn’t hide.
Entering the Wang Family’s courtyard, both tried to act normal.
There were five buns left, which Wang Yongzhu took to the kitchen. At that moment, Lady Lin and Lady Jiang were busy cooking. Seeing the buns in Wang Yongzhu’s hands, Lady Jiang hurriedly came over to take them. "Younger sister, shall we heat these up for tonight’s meal, or save them for breakfast tomorrow?"
"Let’s heat them up for tonight. These are from... Brother Song, who bought them in town for our parents to try," Wang Yongzhu almost slipped and said Chongjin’s name.
