A red apricot is about to cheat on you

"Well, since you just helped me, I won't bother with you. I just found out that you and Chu Junye are from the same family, so I started to dislike you.

I didn't expect that I was wrong. It seems that not all of you royal family members are as arrogant and sinister as Chu Junye."

Chu Jingchen is a man of great cunning, and he has come into contact with all kinds of people. He can easily see through their psychology, but he can't see through the woman in front of him.

She began to probe, saying, "Do you really hate Chu Junye so much that you are dissatisfied with this arranged marriage?"

The two of them were walking slowly on the street. Chu Jingchen put his black goose feather cloak on Yi Duoer while testing her.

Yi Duoer clearly refused, but he still forced her to accept it and put it on her!

This could not help but remind her of the time when Chu Junye's rough hand hit her face fiercely in Yongshou Palace, and at this moment, Chu Jingchen's hand made her feel safe!

Yi Duoer came back to her senses and replied, "Yes, I do hate him, and I'm also dissatisfied with this arranged marriage!"

Chu Jingchen was skeptical about her words. He stared at her with a very suspicious look and continued to ask:

"As far as I know, many people knew that you were in love with Chu Junye before, and they even asked around about his whereabouts, trying to show their affection to him! And because your mother once saved the Queen Mother, you had the opportunity to marry him."

At this point, Yi Duoer couldn't help but sigh. It was indeed a bit inappropriate for the original owner to do such absurd things. Knowing that Chu Junye already had a lover, she still wanted to interfere in other people's feelings!

Even if the original owner was wrong in what she did, she truly loved Chu Junye and should not have suffered such humiliation from Chu Junye.

He let her watch with her own eyes as he slept with someone else and then had her beaten! He allowed someone else to tarnish her innocence.

She replied: "Just think of the Yi Duo'er from before as dead. The me now is just me! Not the silly and foolish Yi Duo'er from before who lost herself for a man."

Chu Jingchen had been skeptical just now, but now, looking at her resolute and beautiful face, he couldn't help but choose to believe. He knew that even if a person was good at lying, their eyes would never lie!

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yi Duoer said these words to herself. Whether he believed it or not was not important. She continued:

"I still have to thank you for what I did just now. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to deal with the Queen's exploitation."

After hearing this, Chu Jingchen told her that the Queen would not summon her again because he had a way to make the Queen dare not look for her again.

After a while,

They unknowingly walked to a street noodle shop. At this time, wontons accompanied by the aroma of green onions drifted into Yi Duoer's nostrils. Yi Duoer touched her hungry stomach.

Then she excitedly ran to the street table and sat down. Chu Jingchen looked at her happy face and couldn't help but smiled indulgently. He followed her footsteps and sat down too.

"Boss, two bowls of wontons!"

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment!"

Yi Duoer looked at Chu Jingchen and said:

"To express my gratitude, I'll treat you to wontons!"

Chu Jingchen had never been so close to another woman before, nor had he sat at the same table to eat. But when he saw Yi Duoer's brilliant smile, he broke his rules for the first time.

Soon,

Two bowls of steaming wontons were served on the table!

"Alright, my two guests! Please enjoy your meal!"

When Yi Duoer was about to pick up the spoon, Chu Jingchen grabbed it first and pulled out a clean white handkerchief from his pocket. He wiped it!

After finishing, he gently handed it to Yi Duoer's bowl. Yi Duoer looked at him puzzledly and asked:

"Don't you often go to the army? During the war, you must have been in the wilderness. Sleeping in the open air! How come you still have mysophobia?"

Although Chu Jingchen stayed in the army all year round after learning martial arts and going down the mountain, he had experienced all kinds of hardships and shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. At the same time, he had to have the dignity he deserved!

When eating, he would not sit at the same table with others, nor would others be qualified to sit at the same table with him. His inherent nobility was deeply engraved.

Chu Jingchen responded, "People come and go here, and the dishes and chopsticks here have naturally been used by everyone! Even though they've been cleaned, it's still better to be cautious."

Yi Duoer is not as particular as he is. Although she lives in a modern society with good conditions, she comes from a military family and has been trained since she was a child. She started to serve in the army at the age of nineteen and started a three-year devilish training in the mountains and deserts!

When they are hungry, they eat all kinds of wild vegetables. When they are injured, they use all kinds of herbs. When I think of this, I can't help but sigh. They are both practicing martial arts, but why is there such a big gap between them?

Chu Jingchen noticed Yi Duoer's eyes and said lovingly, "Eat quickly, I've wiped it clean."

Yi Duoer took a bite and was amazed by the aroma. She said to the boss:

"Wow... this soup is so rich! And it has a light fragrance, Boss! Your wontons are really delicious."

Unlike modern wontons, which have a strong aroma, the boss happily replied when someone praised his wontons:

"We've been making wontons for twenty years, and we've run our shop here for five. None of our neighbors here complain about how delicious it is! Little girl, I can tell your husband treats you so well! He's so thoughtful!"

When Yi Duoer heard this, her cheeks couldn't help but turn slightly red. She quickly explained:

"Mother-in-law, don't get me wrong, we are not husband and wife!"

The old couple smiled awkwardly upon hearing this and said nothing more. Chu Jingchen looked at Yi Duoer, who showed a rare hint of shyness. His mood inexplicably became even happier. He didn't seem to feel the slightest bit of displeasure or disgust at what his mother-in-law had said.

At this time, Yi Duoer was eating the wontons one bite after another, feeling very satisfied. After a while, the bowl was empty!

When Chu Jingchen was about to pay the bill, he was stopped by Yi Duoer. "I said it was my treat, what? Do you look down on me?"

Chu Jingchen looked at her conceited expression. How could he dare to look down on her? So he said in a doting tone: "Okay, I'll let you pay the bill today!"

After saying that, Yi Duoer was satisfied and took out a few copper coins from her small purse and put them on the table! Just as she was about to leave, she caught a glimpse of the old couple. They were still setting up a stall to make money in such a cold day. So she felt pity for them!

She then took out her last ingot of silver from her purse and placed it in the same spot. "Mother-in-law, the money for the noodles is on the table! We're leaving now! I'll come back to eat noodles here in the future!"

Chu Jingchen saw her behavior and thought,

She was indeed different from other noble ladies. Whether it was her words and actions, or even eating at street stalls, she had a kind and simple heart. Those noble ladies in the capital didn't have that!

They were born high and mighty, either daughters of noble families or descendants of wealthy merchants! They never worried about making a living! So they had no empathy for those at the bottom.

The mother-in-law smiled amiably and agreed. On the way back to the Night Palace, Yi Duoer was a chatterbox, talking all the way. It was also the first time that Chu Jingchen had talked so much with someone. And it was a woman!

He himself also felt that he had some different feelings towards the woman in front of him.
