Chapter 517: Chapter 517: Your Belly is That Big?!_1

"Just a friend. As to why she ran off after calling me once, I’m not sure," Wang Youbao answered absentmindedly.

Wang Youbao tried to calm himself but to no avail, in the end, he could only bow with his hands clasped and say, "Miss Xing, I suddenly remembered that I have an urgent matter to take care of and can’t accompany you to choose a birthday gift for your brother. I’m sorry."

The smile on Miss Xing’s face stiffened for a moment, but she still said gently and considerately, "Then, Brother Youbao, you should hurry and attend to your urgent business; that’s more important."

Wang Youbao bowed politely to Miss Xing once more before turning and hastily returning home.

When he came out again, he was riding a horse, and the direction he headed was precisely where Li Wuyu had just vanished on horseback.

Originally, he didn’t know how to ride a horse. However, after discovering last year that Li Wuyu could ride a horse, he thought that if a lady could ride a horse and he, a man, could not, it would be rather embarrassing; so, he hired someone to teach him to ride.

Although the process of learning to ride was somewhat arduous, thankfully, he had learned. There was no need to always travel by carriage anymore.

On the other hand, Li Wuyu rode her horse without looking back to where An Jing and Xiao Changyi were.

An Jing and Xiao Changyi had received a letter from Prime Minister Li three days earlier, notifying them of Li Wuyu’s forthcoming visit, so they were not the slightest bit surprised to see her.

Upon seeing An Jing, Li Wuyu angrily told her, "Master, Wang Youbao has absolutely no feelings for me; he is interested in another lady. He has never smiled at me the way he did with her!"

Wang Youbao had always been extremely polite to her, even his smile was a courteous one, which made her feel as if they were meeting for the first time every time. But today, he was so familiar with that lady! No matter how long he had known her, she was still seething with anger when she saw it!

An Jing was utterly confused, "What lady?"

"I don’t know which family’s daughter she is, I saw them before coming here, laughing and talking with each other as if they were very close!" Li Wuyu said.

An Jing began to understand and said with a chuckle, "So, you are very angry?"

Li Wuyu nodded emphatically, "Hmm!"

An Jing’s smile grew broader, "You and Youbao haven’t even started anything, and you’re already jealous?"

In front of her master An Jing, Li Wuyu was not embarrassed, "Because I like him!"

Suddenly, Li Wuyu began to complain again, "If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn’t have come here sneakily. Wasn’t it in the letter you sent me that you mentioned he might have feelings for me unconsciously? I was so happy that I sneaked here again to confirm his feelings. But what do I see upon arrival? It’s infuriating!"

An Jing was caught between laughter and tears, "I only told you what I knew. But instead of staying put, you sneak over here by yourself, and now that you’re angry, you blame it on me?"

Realizing her slip of the tongue, Li Wuyu quickly hugged An Jing’s arm and showed a smile, "Master, I’m not blaming you, I’m just too angry. If it weren’t for you and Teacher here to give me a place to go to, I might have ridden back to the Capital the moment I saw him with that girl."

An Jing shook her head with a helpless smile.

"Master, your belly is already this big?!" Noticing An Jing’s belly, Li Wuyu was quite surprised.

An Jing tapped her forehead with a curled finger and huffed, "After having your own vent, you finally notice your master’s belly. You really care about your master, don’t you?"
