Chapter 386: Chapter 386 You Also Have a Big Heart_1

Unfortunately, Wang Youbao did not detect the sourness in her voice but replied, "Miss Li, aren’t you ill? If Auntie Wu goes out, there will be no one to care for you, so I have brought a maidservant for you to command."

Li Wuyu was instantly cured, and she cheerfully took the bird’s nest porridge from the maidservant’s hand.

Her change of face was so swift that Wang Youbao felt utterly baffled.

Li Wuyu picked up the soup spoon, took a sip of the bird’s nest porridge, and smiled with her eyes curving, "So sweet. So delicious."

Seeing that Li Wuyu looked quite weary but was much more spirited, Wang Youbao also smiled, "If it’s delicious, Miss Li, please eat more. I have quite a lot of bird’s nest at home, and once I return, I will have someone send some over for Auntie Wu to prepare for you."

Standing behind Wang Youbao, Yu Daming thought, "...but there aren’t many bird’s nests at home... Our young master only indulges in it occasionally... And even then, it’s just a small bowl..."

"Youbao, thank you, you are so kind to me." Li Wuyu continued to drink the bird’s nest porridge while cheerfully thanking Wang Youbao.

She had once tasted bird’s nest; it was when the Crown Princess Consort had called her to the East Palace to play, and the Crown Princess Consort happened to be eating bird’s nest, and then she had given a bowl to Li Wuyu.

She knew that bird’s nest was a valuable commodity.

But it was normal for her Youbao to be so wealthy and to have lots of bird’s nest at home.

Li Wuyu had only eaten a little last night, and she hadn’t eaten anything this morning, and now with her mood improved, her appetite came back, and she ate two bowls of bird’s nest porridge.

Seeing Li Wuyu able to eat two bowls, Wang Youbao was relieved that her health was indeed not a major concern, and he did not mind at all about those little bird’s nests.

This act made Yu Daming feel distressed, though. Those two small bowls of bird’s nest porridge were almost worth a thousand taels!

After finishing the bird’s nest and seeing the maidservant clear away the food box and other items, without minding Yu Daming’s presence, Li Wuyu blurted out, "Youbao, once I’ve recovered from my illness, I will have to return home."

Wang Youbao’s heart inexplicably tightened, but he did not take it to heart and instead smiled, "Miss Li, you have been out for so long; it is time to go home."

"Won’t you ask me to stay a bit longer?"

Wang Youbao fell silent for a moment before saying, "When a child travels a thousand li, the mother worries, so it’s better for Miss Li to return home sooner."

"My mother has long passed away."

"...Then your father?"

"My father is still around."

"Then your father must certainly be worried about you." Saying this, Wang Youbao actually felt a sense of relief.

"Yes," Li Wuyu nodded, "My father is quite worried about me. It’s his letter urging me to return home. Otherwise, I would have continued to enjoy myself for a while longer before going back."

Wang Youbao: "..." You, a young lady, being so carefree outside, is quite bold.

"But I don’t have the travel expenses to go back..." Li Wuyu suddenly felt shy about her meager finances.

Wang Youbao immediately said, "I have enough. Miss Li, when you decide to leave, I will prepare the travel expenses and other necessities in advance for you, and I will also arrange the carriage to the Capital for you."

"Youbao, it’s as if you can’t wait for me to leave." Li Wuyu felt a bit displeased.

Having known this Miss Li for three months, she had been a bother to him this whole time, and he had been hoping all along for her to return home soon, yet she just wouldn’t leave.

But he also didn’t want her, a lone girl, to have any trouble in this town. After all, she was the apprentice of his friend An Jing, after all, he had made her acquaintance...

Wang Youbao did not say he couldn’t wait, only said, "As a young lady on your own, it’s better not to stay out for too long."
