Chapter 520: Chapter 520: How is she treating him like this again?_1

He had misunderstood, and Wang Youbao was feeling awkward when he heard Li Wuyu worrying that he would ask her for money. Wang Youbao immediately reassured her, "It was my own misunderstanding. Of course, I wouldn’t ask you for money."

Li Wuyu immediately let out a huge sigh of relief.

An Jing smiled meaningfully, "If there were no misunderstanding, could it be that you would ask her for money?"

Wang Youbao said, "If there was no misunderstanding, it would be Miss Li asking me for something. Usually, if a girl asks me for something, I give it to her; how could I possibly ask Miss Li for money?"

Usually, if a girl asks him for something, he gives it to her...

Originally, Li Wuyu had thought that Wang Youbao was very kind to her, and maybe, just as her master had said — Wang Youbao had feelings for her without realizing it. But after hearing what Wang Youbao had said, Li Wuyu’s heart felt incredibly blocked.

And An Jing asked that question to hint to Wang Youbao that his feelings for Li Wuyu were different, to help Wang Youbao understand his own feelings. Who knew that Wang Youbao would come up with such a response.

Sigh.

Inside, An Jing sighed. Her disciple must be feeling very heartbroken now.

Wang Youbao did not notice anything wrong with the atmosphere, but he did realize that he hadn’t been as polite to Li Wuyu as he had been initially. As a gentleman, he needed to maintain his manners, so he asked extremely politely, "Miss Li, may I know why you called me here?"

Seeing that Wang Youbao was being so courteous again made Li Wuyu’s heart feel even more congested. She denied, "When did I ever call you?"

Wang Youbao fell silent before he said, "It was when you called me once at my doorstep, and then, you ran here. I came over to ask if Miss Li had any matter to discuss."

Li Wuyu felt even more stifled and blurted out, "No matter! I just shouted casually!"

Just shouted casually...

Wang Youbao’s heart sank a bit, but he didn’t take it too much to heart. After hesitating, Wang Youbao still asked politely, "May I know what brings Miss Li to Hecheng County?"

Li Wuyu retorted, "I came to visit my master and my ’father’, is that not acceptable?!"

Wang Youbao: "..." Which of his words had offended this young lady, why was she acting like this towards him again...

An Jing knew that Li Wuyu’s sharp response to Wang Youbao was because Li Wuyu was feeling too distressed at the moment. Not wanting the two to become even more estranged, An Jing shifted the topic, "Youbao, now that you’re here, why don’t you stay for lunch."

Wang Youbao said, "I need to check on the restaurant in town, so I’ll pass for today."

An Jing: "Then you’re planning to go back now?"

Wang Youbao nodded, "Mhm."

Actually, he hadn’t planned on going back right away. Checking on the restaurant in town was just an excuse, but Miss Li seemed to be in an exceptionally bad mood today; it was better for him to keep his distance.

Just as Wang Youbao was turning around, prepared to leave, Li Wuyu suddenly spoke again, "Wang Youbao."

Wang Youbao: "..." This was the second time today this young lady had called him by his full name... He had grown accustomed to her always calling him ’Youbao’, and this full-name address made him feel quite uneasy...

Nonetheless, Wang Youbao turned back around and asked politely, "Miss Li, what is it?"

Li Wuyu bluntly said, "I have no place to stay."

Wang Youbao fell silent, then said, "The house where you stayed before is still vacant. Miss Li could stay there again."

Li Wuyu immediately said, "Good!"

Wang Youbao: "..."
