Becoming the Villain's Discarded Wife
Chapter 246: Wolf Fang

Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Wolf Fang

"Lin, Miss Lin!" Gu Lang waved to Nanzhi and quickly sat beside their table.

"Gu Lang?" Nanzhi paused her tidbit eating actions with surprise at his abrupt approach.

"Last time, thank you for the help last time." Gu Lang grinned, his face radiating pure candor, tinged with a hint of embarrassment.

Recalling how he had fainted by the roadside the other day, Nanzhi understood and said with a smile, "It was just a helping hand, and it was my brother who took you to the medical hall, not me."

"Still, thanks are in order. Here, this is for you." Gu Lang’s face blushed slightly as he reached into his pocket to take out something.

A large wolf tooth, bound by a red string, shimmered due to Gu Lang’s movements, making it hard to take one’s eyes off it.

"Not at all, we’ve done business together after all. I was even thinking about next time when you come to Yan City, bringing some more good stuff."

Nanzhi quickly declined. After all, her relationship with Gu Lang was strictly business. How could she casually accept his personal belongings?

Especially in this world, accepting others’ belongings behind closed doors was gossip-worthy if discovered by others.

Upon hearing that Nanzhi was looking forward to his return to Yan City, Gu Lang’s eyes lit up, "Miss Lin, I’m leaving today, you’ll wait for me next time I come to Yan City, won’t you?"

It was not only Nanzhi, but even Shen Miaomiao, who was sitting next to her, found Gu Lang’s look a bit strange at this point.

This merchant, why does he seem a bit slow on the uptake?

Wasn’t what Sister Nanzhi just said very clear?

"This..."

Nanzhi was dumbstruck by Gu Lang’s question. Although she wanted to continue doing business with Gu Lang, especially now that she was about to open a restaurant and couldn’t lose her spice supplies, why did his words sound ambiguous?

"Gu Lang, it’s time to go!"

A distant merchant called out to Gu Lang in broken Chinese language, standing next to several camels carrying loads and turning their heads towards them. Hearing his companion calling him, Gu Lang quickly got up and before leaving, placed the wolf tooth into Nanzhi’s hand.

"Miss Lin, it was the first wolf I ever killed. The wolf tooth is a present for you!"

The youthful voice was merry, his uninhibited laughter towards Nanzhi’s table attracting the attention of the people around them.

Nanzhi wished she could squeeze herself into the floor beneath the table.

Lin’s mother, who had been inviting the customers to have meal, paused at hearing Gu Lang’s words. Seeing her daughter’s appearance that she wished she could bury her head in the bowl, she sighed in her heart.

She could only hope that Wenchen would come back early from his work, so that he could get married to the plump girl soon.

Gu Lang had met a few of his fellow townsfolk at the inn. Although considered townsfolk, they were hundreds of miles apart in reality. Nevertheless, these men were hearty people, and had agreed to return together, looking out for each other during the journey.

Out of them, Gu Lang was the youngest. Once they were beyond the city, an older merchant teased, "Gu Lang, you wouldn’t have an eye on that Chinese maiden, would you? Even gifting her your tooth?"

"Yes." Without any hesitation, Gu Lang responded assertively.

"Well, be careful then. Don’t be disappointed after a long trip, finding her married to someone else."

"She has someone she loves." Remembering the man he had seen that day, Gu Lang’s smile faded somewhat. As Miss Lin was nearly falling, he was about to extend his hand to support her when that man appeared. The surprise in Miss Lin’s eyes when she saw that man was noticeable.

He understood.

Last time, he did not interfere, but stood alongside Miss Shen, watching as the man took her away.

"You youngster..." The merchant looked surprised, he then laughed, patted Gu Lang on the shoulder, and said nothing more.

The camels bore the baggage, and the camel bells on their necks rang with their movement.

Over here, Nanzhi and Shen Miaomiao hastily finished their tidbits and left in a hurry.

Fearing any more teasing from those around.

"Sister Nanzhi, where are we going now?" The little girl, noticing Nanzhi’s embarrassment, wished to divert her attention quickly.

"To the market, to buy some vegetables and such, for trial work in the afternoon." Nanzhi let out a deep breath, looking at the wolf tooth in her hand with a slight headache.

If she threw it away, it was the first wolf the giver had killed, and he kept the fang until now, clearly it had some meaning to him.

And he sold a batch of cumin to her at the loss of several tens of taels of silver.

If she didn’t throw it away, it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to keep this thing. Unfortunately, Shen Wenchen wasn’t in Yan City at the moment, as a last resort, she could only give it to her mother to keep for now, and return it to Gu Lang when she saw him later.

Making up her mind, Nanzhi stopped hesitating, and went to the vegetable market with Shen Miaomiao. They spent a hundred thirty-six wens buying two pounds of beef, another fifty wens buying two pounds of pork, and then carried their basket of vegetables back to Baiweizhai.

Baiweizhai it may be, but the restaurant’s signboard was long gone.

The two of them entered the kitchen from the backyard, looked at the tidy kitchen, and exchanged a smile.

This was their place from now on.

Even though the restaurant was cleaned before Manager Lv left, a thin layer of dust had accumulated over the few days. Shen Miaomiao looked at the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves, fetched water, and wiped everything clean. Nanzhi wasn’t idle either, after putting everything in order, she got a bundle of firewood from the firewood room and placed it inside.

Looking at the tidied kitchen, both felt a bit emotional. They sat together in the yard to wait for Hu San to bring the others.

Hu San had notified them early and was promptly leading Uncle Ping and the others to the address left by Nanzhi and Miaomiao.

Seeing the towering three-story building in front of him, Hu San was taken aback.

Could it be that he got the wrong place?

The two girls, could they possibly be the owners of this restaurant?

Uncle Ping looked at the restaurant in front of him, his calm eyes finally showed some change, while An Wazi stood beside Xu Chou in the back. Xu Chou was rather flattered by his proximity, Aze had the same reaction as Hu San, he had thought that the small second mentioned by the girl might just be a small shop, he didn’t expect it to be such a huge restaurant.

Hu San was looking at the address left and right for a long while, and he couldn’t see any small shop beside this restaurant, so he was worried for a while.

In the end, Shen Miaomiao couldn’t wait any longer, she went to open the door and wait for Hu San and the others to come.

The moment she took off a piece of the door plank, she locked eyes with Hu San.

Seeing Shen Miaomiao opening the door, Hu San almost dropped his jaw.

"Shen, Miss Shen, this restaurant, is it yours?"

"I was wondering why you hadn’t come yet, come in quickly." The little girl’s eyes curved in a smile, feeling relaxed when she saw them.

She quickly invited them into the restaurant.

Seeing them arrive, Nanzhi also let out a sigh of relief, she thought something had happened.

It’s good that they’ve arrived.

"The rest haven’t arrived yet?" Nanzhi looked behind them, not seeing anyone else.

Hu San had just recovered from his shock, and hardly managed to explain hearing Nanzhi’s intent, "On the way, on the way, I did inform them, they should arrive in a while."

"Alright."
