Chapter 591: Lin Yongcheng Humiliated (1)_1
Shocked, Wang Qiaoxin heard Lin Yuan’s words and hurriedly waved her hands dismissively. "What a joke. The elegant room isn’t just something you can enter as you please. Without forty or fifty taels of silver, don’t even think about leaving that room."
Perhaps realizing that she had refused too quickly, Wang Qiaoxin cleared her throat and wiped the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, concealing her guilt. "No need to trouble yourself. We chose to sit in the main hall to better appreciate the differences between the people of Zhuma Town and Yecheng. Besides, I want to experience the life Shi Mei used to live with him."
As she spoke, Wang Qiaoxin’s arm had already very naturally found its way into Chen Shimei’s arm, looking every bit the sweet, newlywed couple.
Lin Yuan certainly didn’t miss the schemes in Wang Qiaoxin’s eyes and chuckled to herself before saying, "Since Miss Wang is so keen on getting close to the lives of the common people, then I won’t disturb you any longer. Oh, by the way, since it’s rare for Miss Wang to visit Zhuma Town, I’ll treat you to today’s meal, also as an early congratulations for your everlasting happiness together."
Wang Qiaoxin’s eyes brightened immediately. She’s treating? That’s great! This meal would cost at least more than ten taels of silver, saving her quite a bit of money. And if she was treating, then she could order a few more dishes, such as the beef stewed with potatoes which is said to be particularly delicious, but too expensive for her to consider ordering before.
However, while she was overjoyed, Wang Qiaoxin knew she still had to maintain her pretense.
She feigned modesty with a wave of her hand. "We appreciate your kindness, but we cannot accept a free meal. After all, you are running a business, and I can’t be the one to spoil it."
Lin Yuan caught the gleam of excitement in her eyes and conceded once more, "Miss Wang, you’re too polite. It’s no bother at all."
