Chapter 355: Chapter 201: Do Ghost Mites Only Parasite on Courtesans?
Everyone froze in place, looking in astonishment at this affectionate couple, as if to ask what on earth was going on?
It was the madam who was anxious to protect her girl, taking a step forward while deliberately avoiding the esteemed young man, and sidled up to Miss Cailing to ask softly:
"Cailing, are you... are you alright?"
Only then did Cailing withdraw her gaze, surprised, "Auntie, what could possibly be wrong?"
The madam eyed her up and down, "Really alright?"
Cailing smiled sweetly, leaned over and whispered something into the madam’s ear, causing even the heavily made-up woman to blush quite a bit, her gaze sizing up You Su.
She couldn’t help but murmur, "Mr. Ye from Henggao City is more skilled in these games than us from the countryside, but he should show more pity to such beautiful girls."
Upon hearing this, You Su slightly raised an eyebrow and turned to apologize to Cailing:
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Cailing."
Cailing held onto her chest, blushing as if thinking of something, "This is what Cailing should do..."
After such a conversation, the male guests who had been eager to rescue Cailing lost their momentum, yet the burly man who had first smashed a bowl indignantly said:
"Miss Cailing! If you’ve been wronged, speak up, we’re here and will definitely stand up for you!"
But his words of protection did not earn Cailing’s warmth; the beautiful woman gave him a cold glance, chilling his heart.
"What I talk about, what I do with the young master is none of your business. Tonight, having the young master to stand up for me is enough."
After saying this, she cast a tender glance at You Su.
As expected, everyone’s gaze was drawn to her slender waist, thinking about how this beast had just been holding her waist to make Cailing scream out, filling their hearts with sadness and sorrow.
Everyone hated this Mr. Ye for not cherishing beauty, yet everyone wanted to take his place.
"It is my honor to stand up for Miss Cailing. If Miss Cailing is bullied, feel free to come to me, and I’ll stand up for you again."
You Su elegantly replied, "Since Miss Cailing is feeling warm, I shall take my leave. I will visit again another day."
Cailing was slightly stunned, unable to immediately accept the young man’s departure before reluctantly saying:
"Take care, young master... The weather is getting colder, but the Xiao Xiang Pavilion has a warm room, with floorboards heated warmly. If the young master is afraid of the cold, you are welcome to visit more often."
"Certainly."
You Su smiled gracefully, then stepped down the stairs past everyone.
The male guests all looked on with hate in their eyes, yet could only watch this outsider take away the most precious flower of Mo Ye City.
The only thing they could do was resentfully think in their hearts that this young man was all show and no substance, undeserving of beauty’s grace.
If it were them, they surely would have stayed with Miss Cailing from day to night. They wouldn’t mind dying in her arms, how could they bear to leave?
"Cyan Simurgh, Zi Yiyi, let’s go."
You Su casually called out, and immediately behind him, appeared a young girl in a cyan dress and a woman in purple.
Their makeup was simple, yet they were naturally beautiful, unnoticed amidst the previous chorus of girls, and now everyone realized that Mr. Ye’s maids were equally rare beauties, on par with Miss Cailing.
No wonder... no wonder he could bear to leave! He had treasures at home!
I hate it!
Hearts bleeding, while You Su, leading the two women, disappeared into the cold, rainy night beyond the door.
Mr. Xiao, hidden within the crowd, watched You Su’s silhouette with a glimmer in his eyes, but he quickly blended back into the crowd, disappearing from sight. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
...
"Boss, three of your best rooms!"
You Su slapped the silver coins onto the wooden counter and called out.
The innkeeper looked at the silver coins and regrettably said, "Ah, guest, it’s been raining for days, and many travelers have been forced to stay in Mo Ye City. At this time, there’s just no way to free up three rooms, even the secondary rooms are all full."
The three walked in silence straight to the inn, because You Su insisted they talk everything over there.
Ji Lingruo had been wearing a worried expression, her mind filled with the image of her senior brother standing up for Cailing. Hearing the owner’s words and seeing You Su tossing money, she seemed to understand something and angrily said:
"Owner! Doing business relies on integrity, don’t collude with others to deceive us!"
The owner felt wronged and said with a downcast face:
"Miss, you misunderstood, you can go upstairs and see for yourself if you don’t believe me. There really are only two upper rooms left; if I don’t make money, wouldn’t I be a fool? Not just my inn, all inns in Mo Ye City are the same, finding even two empty rooms is quite lucky."
Zi Yiyi withdrew her Divine Sense and said blandly, "He’s not lying."
"Then two rooms will have to suffice. It’s almost midnight, and looking for another inn might be a wasted trip. Owner, lead the way."
"Alright."
With joy, the owner led the three upstairs.
"Here are the rooms, next to each other, easy to visit. Young masters and misses, rest early, and call me if you need anything."
The owner, with a hunched back, smiled and returned to the counter.
"Two rooms, three people, how are we supposed to divide this?"
Ji Lingruo stood in front of the adjacent room doors, perplexed.
"The junior sister and Yiyi can share one, I’ll take the other."
Dividing by gender is naturally the most reasonable setup.
"Why should you get a room all to yourself?"
At this moment, Ji Lingruo did not have a good attitude toward You Su.
"Um... maybe the junior sister can share with me, and let Yiyi have a room to herself."
