Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

"Come on!" Qu Haoyue stopped talking nonsense and ordered his men to tear down the store.

The two strong men swung their fists, but before they could even touch the other's hair, they were knocked out of the store by Qin Guanyi's palm, and the two small doors were smashed to pieces on the spot.

Four or five customers who were watching outside the store were pressed heavily to the ground before they could dodge, screaming in pain.

Most of these guests were strong porters. They jumped up and surrounded the two men, but because of the little bully's identity, they did not dare to fight. They could only spit in their hearts and retreat.

"You kid are looking for death!" Qu Haoyue suddenly closed his fan and attacked Qin Guanzhi.

"What happened?" Ruan Chuyin came back from the small warehouse in the back kitchen with a bundle of firewood and heard a commotion outside. She quickly put down the firewood and ran out.

Qu Haoyue's pupils shrank sharply, and he spun in the air before landing steadily in his original position.

There is actually a girl!

Hearing her delicate voice, half of her anger disappeared on the spot.

"Are you the wife of this pretty boy?" he asked blankly.

Her face was covered by a veil, and she stood gracefully, like a lotus flower emerging from the water, floating like an angel, pure and elegant. She was taller than the average woman, and even standing among a group of men she did not look short.

When did such a beautiful lady with extraordinary temperament come to Wu'an Street?

Staring into her pair of clear eyes, I was so distracted that I forgot what I was going to do.

"Why did you come out? Go in quickly." Qin Guanzhi nervously protected her behind him.

Ruan Chuyin looked at the smashed door and the two burly men behind the young man. Panic suddenly rose to her throat. Worried, she pulled Qin Guanzhi over and whispered, "Are you here to cause trouble?"

Running a small business, you're bound to run into a few bullies wherever you go. She never imagined she'd encounter one herself. She'd never experienced anything like this before, and she didn't know what to do. Suddenly, she caught sight of Yu Yu, still standing there in a daze, less than half a foot away from the three men. She quickly yanked him behind her.

"Sister Ruan." Yu Yu was stunned at first, and then he was moved from the bottom of his heart.

Sister Ruan actually disregarded her own safety and used her frail body to shield herself from the wind and rain.

Her strong sense of brokenness and the panic in her eyes aroused Yu Yu's desire to protect her as a man. He stopped pretending to be weak and flexed his ten knuckles twice, ready for a big fight.

These bastards want to step on the head of the General Guarding the Country, but they probably think their lives are too long!

But - why did he suddenly feel that the other party didn't want to fight anymore?

The red-robed man turned his back and silently shook his clothes a few times. When he turned around again, he had completely changed his face.

"Miss, there's a misunderstanding. It's dinner time, and the two servants and I just wanted to have a meal here. We heard that Mingyue Restaurant..." Qu Haoyue paused, looked at the big wooden sign hanging above their heads, and then said, "The braised pork is very famous, so we came here to try it. Don't you think so?" He raised his arms, turned half a circle, stared coldly at the crowd watching outside the door, and made a naked threat.

If anyone dares to offend someone today, he will stomp on that person's face to death in a moment.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Qu is here to have dinner." Voices of agreement came one after another from outside the door.

"Why don't you come in? What are you all doing outside?" Qu Haoyue casually opened his folding fan and asked them to return to their seats with a smile.

Ruan Chuyin noticed that the coldness in Qin Guanzhi's eyes had not faded, so she quickly picked up a large bowl, cut a pound of braised meat, and scooped a large spoonful of soup and handed it to the man in the red robe. She did not mention the money at all, just thinking of it as spending money to ward off disasters and buy peace.

"Miss, how much is it?" Qu Haoyue looked at the braised meat in her hand, lowered her head slightly and sniffed it. The rich aroma of meat, which seemed to be mixed with the aroma of medicine, made her move her lips and hand over a tael of silver.

"You don't need so much. Our new store is offering a 20% discount on all items for the first three days after opening. This pound of braised pork is only eighty cents. Sir, would you like something else?" After Ruan Chuyin finished speaking, she winked at Qin Guanzhi, but his eyes were always fixed on the man in red robe, and he didn't notice anything else.

Qin Guanzhi was now extremely unhappy. The man's real intention was not to drink, and his purpose was obvious.

"Miss Ruan, leave this to me." He took the spoon back from Ruan Chuyin's hand and asked in a voice that didn't make it clear whether he was happy or angry, "Sir, do you want anything else?"

Qu Haoyue didn't even glance at Qin Guanzhi, and stared at the masked beauty with a smile: "So your surname is Ruan, and my surname is Qu and my name is Haoyue. I am the... owner of this street." He suddenly changed his words.

What is Mr. Fang?

Ruan Chuyin had limited knowledge of classical Chinese and had no impression of this word in her mind, so she couldn't help but look at Qin Guanzhi and Yu Yu.

"Sister Ruan, this street is under his control." Yu Yu quickly came forward and whispered in her ear.

Your Majesty!

"Mr. Qu, is there anything else you'd like to buy?" Ruan Chuyin began calculating the change in her head. Nine hundred and twenty coins was no small sum, and it would take quite a while to count. She hadn't had time to count yesterday, and all the change hadn't been rounded up, so she had to count it out piece by piece.

Since the beauty has spoken, we must give her face.

Qu Haoyue looked at the seven large pots on the stove, quickly glanced at the wooden sign, ordered three of the most expensive sets, and added three pounds of braised meat.

In this way, the pressure of finding money is suddenly much less.

Qin Guanzhi reluctantly packed the food one by one and pushed it in front of him.

Yu Yu and Ruan Chuyin hurriedly counted the change, put it in a small jar and handed it to him.

Qu Haoyue hadn't seen so much change in a long time. He weighed it twice and found it was quite heavy.

"Just leave the copper coins here. You can put them back in when you come back next time." He winked at the two big men and asked them to carry all the things away. Before leaving, he did not forget to clean up the two broken doors.

Ruan Chuyin saw all of this and felt that Qu Haoyue was quite sensible in his approach.

When the people around saw that the little bully on Wu'an Street had completely walked away, they lined up again.

Ruan Chuyin chatted with them and learned about Qu Haoyue's identity.

It turns out that he is the son of the county magistrate of Wushui Town. No wonder he is so domineering and majestic wherever he goes.

"Girl, Mr. Qu is not someone you want to mess with. He only stopped today for your sake." An old man kindly reminded her.

"Me?" Ruan Chuyin pointed at herself in confusion. She was just an ordinary citizen, so where did she get the face from?

"In short, you are the lucky star of Mingyue Restaurant. As long as you are here, we don't have to worry about him getting angry." The old man smiled and said nothing more.

Qin Guanzhi listened to their conversation from beginning to end and even lost the mind to work.

He felt he couldn't stay here any longer and had to leave as soon as possible to find another business or take Ruan Chuyin home. But how could he bring her back? What if he scared her away?

Qin Guanzhi thought that he should take his time with Ruan Chuyin and not rush into anything. But it seemed that the opposite was happening, and things were getting increasingly out of control.
