Quick Wear: The Short-lived Female Supporting Character Does Not Want to Be a Heartthrob

We took a carriage and went to West City first.

After looking at several houses, I think the three-courtyard house in Dongcheng is better. The overall layout of the house is fresh and elegant, generous and casual, without so many rules and edges.

There are rockery, gardens, flowing water, pavilions, and a special area in the yard for planting fruit trees and some vegetables.

"This was originally the residence of a minister in the court, but he resigned and returned to his hometown due to old age, so this place has been vacant."

Hearing Ling Hao's words, Wan Ning nodded.

But she had some questions: "Why hasn't anyone bought such a nice house?"

"The old man just resigned not long ago, so there was no time. Besides, they didn't want to give the house to anyone else casually. It was only after I went to ask someone for help that I got the blueprints of the house."

Wan Ning looked at Ling Hao: "Mr. Ling, you are thoughtful."

Ling Hao smiled and said, "I didn't do much. I just told them that my future wife's family wanted to buy it."

Wan Ning laughed instantly: "You are so cunning, pressuring others like this. I didn't want to sell it in the first place, but now I have to sell it to you."

Everyone in Ye City knew that Lord Ning Ling Hao had not yet married, so they would be surprised if a fiancée suddenly appeared.

If the old man who has retired to his hometown is unwilling to sell the house to him, wouldn't it ruin someone else's marriage?

Tsk tsk tsk, Wan Ning looked at Ling Hao and felt that this guy was quite scheming.

Ling Hao looked at Wan Ning and said, "Miss Su, do you want to buy this house? After all, this place is really nice."

When Wan Ning heard what he said, she stopped laughing at him instantly.

Because she really likes this place and wants to buy it.

But once I bought it, it would be a response to his previous words "the future wife's home". If I moved in, it would be a disguised acknowledgement of my relationship with him.

But thinking about it carefully again, he would definitely not say it so loudly. Maybe he was just teasing Wan Ning just now, so he said that.

But Wan Ning didn't nod immediately, "Let me think about it first."

Ling Hao didn't say anything else. Seeing that it was time for dinner, he asked Wan Ning's opinion, and the two of them went directly to the largest restaurant in Yedu City, Mingyue Tower, for dinner.

Led by the restaurant owner, Wan Ning went up to the third floor and entered a private room. He looked around and saw that the space was spacious, with a washroom and a narrow couch for temporary rest.

Ling Hao asked Wan Ning who was standing at the window looking down: "Miss Su, do you have any favorite dishes?"

Wan Ning shook his head and turned to look at him: "No, Master Ling will arrange it."

So Ling Hao asked the shopkeeper to serve a few of the restaurant's specialties, and then whispered a few words into the shopkeeper's ear. Wan Ning didn't listen because she was downstairs struggling with two people, and there were three or five people around watching the fun.

Ling Hao sent the shopkeeper away, and also noticed that Wan Ning had been standing at the window for a long time, so he walked over and asked: "What's the matter?"

Wan Ning nodded and looked up at him: "It seems that there is trouble down there."

Ling Hao stood next to Wan Ning and looked in the direction she was looking.

After just a few glances, Ling Hao shouted to the guards at the door: "Go down and rescue the girl."

But Wan Ning frowned: "You don't even ask about the situation before you rush in?"

Ling Hao smiled and said, "It's nothing. Even if something happens, I can handle it. Don't worry. I think you must be worried about that girl, so why not bring her here first."

What Wan Ning didn't notice was that when they passed by there was no one there. But when she went up to the third floor and approached the window, the place downstairs suddenly became lively.

After Ling Hao's guards brought the person up, Wan Ning discovered that the girl who had just appeared in the crowd and was being pulled back and forth was very young, and looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Chunhua, who was standing next to her, was surprised when she heard the girl say her age, because she was half a head taller than her.

"Girl, she is the same age as this slave!"

Wan Ning nodded, and then asked the thin girl a few more questions. He learned that her parents were gone, and she lived with her uncle's family. This time, it was because her uncle owed gambling debts and insisted on selling the girl.

The girl, who was standing there with a reserved expression, realized that Wan Ning was a good master, and immediately knelt down and begged Wan Ning to buy her. She did not want to go to the Red Mansion.

She had heard her mother say before that the Red Mansion was not a place for a good girl.

After learning about the debt her uncle owed, Wan Ning thought about it and took out a silver note and handed it to her.

"Are you willing to follow me? I'll give you a place to eat and sleep, but you have to listen to me in the future?"

The girl kowtowed happily and said that she would definitely repay Wan Ning’s great kindness.

So the girl, accompanied by the guards, went downstairs with the silver note given by Wan Ning.

After a while, the guard came up with the girl's indenture contract and a handwritten certificate stating that she had severed ties with her uncle's family.

Wan Ning didn't expect that he would take in a maid in such a short time.

At first, she just felt that the girl was too helpless and pitiful, and it was inevitable that she would feel pity for her. Later, Wan Ning was shocked to find that the maid was very strong and could chop wood, wash clothes and cook.

With a pinch of her hands, a piece of stone immediately turns into powder. Taking her out with you is like an invisible protective shield.

However, Wan Ning never expected that this was specially prepared for her.

Because Ling Hao picked one specifically after knowing that Wan Ning didn't have anyone to serve her. He was afraid that if he gave someone away so blatantly, Wan Ning would refuse.

When the food came, Wan Ning was just about to share some dishes with Chun Hua and the others, because the table was full of dishes, when she saw Ling Hao had already picked up the chopsticks and helped Wan Ning pick up a piece of sweet and sour spareribs and put it in her bowl.

Ling Hao said directly: "You eat first, I have arranged everything for them in the hall, you can go downstairs and eat later."

Wan Ning nodded immediately, looked up at Chunhua and said, "Then you guys go downstairs to eat, and come back up to serve you after dinner."

After Chunhua thanked him, she led the girl away.

Seeing them leave and closing the door, Wan Ning was about to frown. Weren't the two guards of Ling Hao standing at the door the whole time? Why did they close the door for them?

But Wan Ning thought again, she was just having a meal with someone, she didn't do anything, it was okay. Besides, all the rooms where she ate were closed along the way!

It seems a bit awkward to keep the door of my room open.

He picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. "Hmm," Wan Ning nodded. "It's delicious. It tastes sour and sweet. The meat is not tough. Instead, it's soft and tasty. It's delicious."

Hearing Wan Ning's words, Ling Hao smiled.

Then he opened a covered soup pot and scooped out a bowl of soup: "Here, try it and see how it tastes."

Wan Ning took a sip expectantly, then was stunned for a moment. She then drank two more sips.

“This soup looks so familiar.”
