Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 104 The Shy Boy

Ying Tianchen wanted to say, I'll give it to you for free, but he knew Miss Yun would not agree.

"How many palm-leaf fans does Miss Yun want?"

Yun Xi thought about it and realized that there were about a hundred people on her side, but more than a dozen of them were little kids held in the arms of adults, so they didn't need a palm leaf fan. If everyone had one, there would be about eighty or ninety fans.

But this cattail leaf fan is cheap. In her impression, the price of a cattail leaf fan should be between three and five cents. Why not just order 100 to make up the whole amount?

"I want 100."

Ying Tianchen nodded, "Okay, one cent for two. That's 50 cents in total. The ten meat buns Miss Yun gave us before should also be 50 cents. That way we can cancel it out. I'll have someone send the cattail leaf fans out of the city gate tomorrow."

Yun Xi widened her eyes and looked sideways at him.

What does this person mean? Isn't he trying to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit? Instead, he wants to repay the friendship of the ten steamed buns.

Oh, this person really knows how to repay kindness.

Hehehe~~~, good, what a good official.

However, I am not short of money now, so there is no need for me to owe others a favor of 50 cents.

"Master Chen, you don't have to do this. The palm leaf fan can be sold at one penny each. I can't ask you to help me buy it and then pay for it."

Ying Tianchen didn't force it, "Okay, I'll listen to you and do as you say."

Yun Xi turned her head to look at him again. The handsome boy was more than half a head taller than her, and he looked particularly well-behaved and obedient when he followed her. He looked like a good little brother.

Ying Tianchen felt that he was being stared at by her, and he was so nervous that he could hardly walk. The tips of his ears also turned red unconsciously.

Yun Xi noticed it with her sharp eyes and blinked. Is she... shy because she was staring at her?

She raised the corners of her mouth as if she had discovered some interesting new world.

I even said that I should be extra careful and wary of him, but I didn't expect that he was still such a shy boy.

Wow, these ancient people were so innocent.

If this happened nowadays, many boys of his age, although still students, would change girlfriends one after another, just like playing house.

Not to mention being shy if the opposite sex looks at you for more than a few seconds, there is no embarrassment even when holding hands and kissing in public.

When Yun Xi saw him like this, it was like seeing some rare animal.

Ying Tianchen felt uncomfortable being stared at by her and wanted to escape quickly, but he was reluctant to give up this rare opportunity to spend time with her, so he could only let her continue staring at him.

Gradually, his walking posture became awkward and he started to move his hands and feet together.

Yun Xi withdrew her gaze and pursed her lips to prevent herself from laughing out loud.

Neither of them spoke, and it was a bit awkward for a moment.

Of course, the young man was the only one who felt embarrassed. Yun Xi, on the other hand, was relaxed and looking around leisurely.

In order to ease the embarrassment, the boy racked his brains to think of a topic for conversation, and finally he thought of one.

"By the way, Miss Yun, your guard who went with us to suppress the bandits should be able to come back and catch up with us the day after tomorrow."

If Yunxi hadn't mentioned this, she would have almost forgotten that Yunsheng had been with his men at Mount Jiuyi for three days. Logically, there should have been a result.

"Have the bandits been eliminated?"

Ying Tianchen shook his head, "Miss Yun should know that they are not bandits."

Yun Xi raised an eyebrow, not expecting him to say this to her.

Ying Tianchen looked around and saw people coming and going nearby, so he said, "Miss Yun, there are some things that I can't tell you now. I'll tell you later."

Yun Xi's curiosity had been aroused by him and she just wanted to hear what he had to say as soon as possible.

"Then go back to the inn and tell me."

Ying Tianchen agreed.

The two quickened their pace and soon arrived at the inn.

"Which room does Lord Chen live in?" Yun Xi asked.

She was going to go to his room to talk, as Yunfang and Yun Qiaoer were already in her room, so it was not convenient.

Ying Tianchen's heart was beating like a drum. Is Miss Yun going to his room?

"It's on the second floor, No. 1."

Oh, he is indeed a wealthy man. This number one room is equivalent to the presidential suites in later hotels and is the best room in the inn.

The two went upstairs, and Yu Fengfeng and Yun Yi followed behind them.

"Miss Yun, are you guys staying at this inn too?"

As soon as she got upstairs, she ran into two acquaintances head-on, and Yun Xi felt it was bad luck.

"Master Zhou."

Zhou Ling pretended not to see her and had no intention of greeting her, so she didn't call anyone either.

"Miss Yun, where is your elder brother?"

"My eldest brother has something to do." Yun Xi answered briefly, obviously unwilling to say more.

"Oh, so. Who is this? I saw this young man traveling with me during the day, but I don't know his name."

Zhou Wenli asked casually.

Yun Xi looked at Ying Tianchen leisurely without answering, just waiting to see if he wanted to introduce himself.

Ying Tianchen didn't have a good impression of the Zhou siblings, and he also sensed Yun Xi's dislike for them, so he didn't bother to care about them. He didn't want to give them any face.

"You don't need to know. You're not familiar with it."

Yunxi's mouth corners curved up. Wow, you have quite a bit of personality.

Zhou Wenli didn't expect him to say that. This was the first time he was humiliated like this, and his face immediately turned very ugly.

Zhou Ling also looked at Ying Tianchen in disbelief. She never expected that someone who was so easy-going towards the Yun brothers and sisters could speak so harshly.

She looked at Yun Xi, and seeing the sarcasm and ridicule on her face, she instantly became furious.

"Yun Xi, you really have a lot of tricks up your sleeve. Even if you have a problem with me, it would be fine if you just said bad things about me in front of your elder brother, but why are you destroying my reputation in front of this young master?"

Yunxi:......?

Damn, what does this mean?

Lord Chen ignored them, can they blame themselves for this?

"Miss Zhou, are you mentally ill or have you been caught in a door?"

"Yun Xi, what do you mean?" Zhou Ling was furious.

Yun Xi rolled her eyes and said, "It means that the brain is a good thing, don't throw it away."

"you......."

Zhou Ling wanted to go up and tear her apart.

Ying Tianchen stepped aside to block Yun Xi and said in a deep voice, "Miss Yun has never mentioned who you are to me, let alone ruin your reputation in front of me. Please make way and don't block the way."

Zhou Ling looked at Ying Tianchen's stern face and her eyes suddenly turned red.

She bit her lip, looked aggrieved, and about to cry, but she still moved aside.

Zhou Wenli wanted to say something in rebuttal, but when he thought of Ying Tianchen's possible identity, he suppressed his anger.

Ying Tianchen asked Yun Xi to go first. Yun Xi didn't refuse. She raised her chin and walked towards the No. 1 room with a step that showed she didn't care about anyone.

Seeing her like this, Ying Tianchen smiled indulgently and hurried to follow her.

Yu Fengfeng and Yun glanced at the Zhou brothers and sisters before following the two masters in front.

Zhou Ling and Zhou Wenli were so angry that even the servants dared not take them seriously.

The two men stared at the backs of Yun Xi and Ying Tianchen, their eyes full of malice.
